today

abs/calves/back/cardio

standing cable crunch 70x10/4
seated calf raise 50x8 75x8 100x8 125x8 150x8 175x8
reverse hypers x10/4
one arm sup pull downs 30x8 40x8 50x8 60x8 70x8
one arm machine row 100x8 120x8 140x8 160x8
pro grip machine row high for mid trap rhomboids 105x10 120x10 135x10/2
machine pullovers 105x10 120x10 135x10
10 min step mill intervals 1-1

done for the day. lower back is feeling really nasty. maybe sleeping funny or something because i havent done anything to aggervate it at all. not locked up or anything like that but still really tight and tender, so i left it alone completely today other than hitting abs and reverse hypers to open it up. no dice on that one because it still isnt happy. going to make legs really fun and nasty tomorrow.

So what are the new goals what weight are you looking to get to

we are toying around with taking a year off from competing and making another run at the nationals next year. i would like to add another 10lbs of stage weight on over that year. i have to talk to the guy that does my programing and stuff to iron out all the details to see what kind of guidance he has. it's my call but i still like to get the opinion first. if we dont go for a full year then it will be 4or 5lbs and 10 if we take a full year. we will see though. i wont make that decision until sometime next month

done for the day. nice easy session moving some blood around and working on explosiveness. nothing crazy nothing to awful heavy. kept the pace up pretty good and got a good run on the intervals. they were no where near as bad as i figured they would be, so my cardio is actually holding up pretty good.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

So, you are eating like 99% of the people who think they are Body Builders that can make gains with runs. LMAO

yeah that's about right. more so for me it has been cheese pizza cake and ice cream more so than anything. oh and a couple rounds of gravy biscuits and pancakes. i am tired of it now, so back to the grind with one or 2 cheats a week.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

You are so funny! Junking it up. You can count on your hands how many times you have junked it up in the last 20 years. Perspective... You are the most dedicated and strict person; even in the body building world. When we really watch and pay attention to your diet and workouts it is nearly impossible to do what you do year in and year out.

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

my body did the same thing last time. i dropped about 10-15lbs while junking it up and then slowly started gaining again. my metabolism must not be shutting down to bad at all. that and no really bad water retention at all. i know it's gross but i havent had the jungle shits in a long ass time. even eating nasty ass greasy food and tons of sugar and that has never happened before. so my body must be processing and doing really well this go around. i am def not complaining at all. hell i didnt take a dump for the last 3 days of prep at all. so i was def processing and using everything up till that point. we shall see how i do when i transition back to clean eating haha

calves/back/cardio

standing calf raise 275x10 295x10 315x10/4 (did these with a 5sec stretch on each rep)

done for the day. felt good today and went a little bit ham. i didnt get close to or past failure at all but still moved some pretty good weight around. i pushed the deads pretty hard today and i could have got the 3d one on my last set but it would have been an ugly rep, so i pulled up short just to be safe. so all in all a great day in the gym moving some blood around with no complaints. i will take off tomorrow and sat and finish out the week on sunday.

Maple bacon for everyone

those doughnuts were probably the best doughnuts i have ever had and i am not even a big cake doughnut fan. the made them fresh to order and the maple bacon was perfect. actually all of the doughnuts that i tried were spot on. not to sweet not to savory but just right and they melt in your mouth like a normal doughnut. i have found a new favorite haha. they were actually cheap as krispy kreme or dunkin also which was a surprise

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Got to give you PROPS for hitting a Water Park with the kids. You are THE MAN. IMOP

i learned and carried an extra 3 gals of water with me and as soon as i got done i started rehydrating sat and sunday before hand. so other than being super sore, i didnt get all the nasty water rebound effects so the park was a breeze. it was actually a huge park that was a part of the hotel so it was super super cheap. crowded as all hell but didnt wreck the budget at all
