You are one of a kind remember? Your worst workout is still better than more than 98% of the people in any gym.

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

how does it look when you carb load. as in like how many grams do you usually increase, and do you increase it a certain amount daily?

i did a front load that tappers back down through the week last year and it is looking like it will be similar. i am still playing around with it at them moment because i am in good enough condition right now where i can tell where i am peaking and looking best with the amount of carbs i am taking in. last go round it looked like this:

tues 600g
weds 400g
thursday 200g
friday go off of look and feel. so we needed a little top off on friday so i had another 100g before bed friday night. i may spread them out a bit more evenly this year but i havent put it on paper 100% just yet

today:

anyone who knows me very well at all knows i am all about helping people out that ask and i am a big time people person.

well me being me i will tell someone straight out where i learned something from and sent them over to them so they can learn something for themselves.

so needless to say i had a pretty piss poor workout today

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

oh adding in some variety in the carb choices

you like that? that is how i carb load up into a show for the first 2 days. so i am starting to tweak it a bit early and play around a bit to see if my body is responding like it did last run

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

today:

45min treadmill am fasted cardio
rumble roller work/stretching

back/light calves
10 min treadmill warmup
seated calf raise ss 75x10(10)/4 first 10 were full range 2 sec hold in the contraction second 10 were stretch to mid range only
tibia raises 40x20/4
one arm pulldowns to the side 25x20 30x20 40x15 55x15 (did these as a warmup)
one arm bb rows 35x10 20x10 30x10 55x8 65x8 75x8 85x8 (first three were feel/warmups and the first one i went way to heavy)
low pulley rows on bosu ball 100x12 120x12 140x12 160x12
machine pullovers 90x15 105x15 120x15 150x12
banded hypers x20/4 (these were done with heavy green bands)
done for the day

background on today's workout. i hurt the neck yesterday and it is still a little sore and stiff so that for one dictated my back training for today. i tried to focus on all lower lat and mid back work to take away as much as i could and not nail that upper trap upper back area. i had a great exercise lineup planned out and ready to rock and low and behold my arch rivals were in the gym training. anyone who knows me very well at all knows i am all about helping people out that ask and i am a big time people person. well not with this crew of morons. they agervate me so badly that it actually makes my bp skyrocket through the roof. they are constantly stealing my little tricks and tweaks that i have learned from john meadows and others that have helped me out in the past. well not really a big deal about stealing tricks other than them telling people that they came up with them and this is a brand new system they put together. well me being me i will tell someone straight out where i learned something from and sent them over to them so they can learn something for themselves. so now anytime they are in the gym and i am training i dont do any new stuff or tweaks on normal movements to aid them in their bs quest to whatever it is they are striving to do. so needless to say i had a pretty piss poor workout today because of 2 factors, my neck and stupid wanna bees. good news is it was a full carb day which always makes everything much much better haha

45 min treadmill am fasted cardio
rumble roller work/stretching


traps/delts/abs
10 min treadmill warmup
rotator cuff work
bb shrugs 135x20 185x20 225x15 315x10 (tweaked my freaking neck bad. so it was a ruined workout from the damn start. i cant turn my head so i am hating life now and will for days)

db lat swings 50x10 55x10
machine leg raise 20x15 30x15 40x15 50x10
hanging knee ups x10/4

i spent the ab session focusing mainly on lower abs. today was day 2 of super low carbs so energy is way way down so i went pretty easy. even going easy i still tweaked my neck which makes doing anything a huge pain in the ass. now i am icing for 10mins every hour and i am slathered up in bengay cooling gel. trying to get this thing back up to 100% as quick as possible without any meds. training through the pain isnt an issue, it's sitting around and sleeping after i cool damn that sucks ass.

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

Hey there. Now I just feel bad. I missed 2 leg days in a row, tops and bottoms. lol. I think i heard them cry a little on my way to the coffee pot, Knowing what was in store for today.

haha, it's ok to miss them every now and then but i dont like the not being able to walk without pain so i try not to ever miss a session esp quads cause those are the worse. i have hurt so bad that i couldnt even fight to sit on the toilet or a chair. i just had to flop down. then to get up you have to build momentum with the upper body and launch yoursefl out of a seat.

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

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

Lets see if I got this right. I leave town and my best friend gets a dislike. This can't be true you are all pulling my leg or this must have been some sort of Trixie trick.

Very impressed today. Getting in legs when you are sick. You're the man!
