done for the day.not a bad day at all today and one hell of a brutal nasty pump. was feeling a bit run down tired and drained going in. still able to keep a good pace going and get all the work in. actually felt like the muscles were going to tear off the bone the pump was so bad. 8 days to go today. so i am super grinding now and feeling it. joints are getting more tender by the day and fatigue is setting in. not complaining because i am damn stoked with how everything is going but damn if i am not feeling it. no where even remotely close as bad as my qual show. no days off this week so the grind will continue through the weekend. pretty anxious to see if i get another cheat tomorrow or not. i am nasty peeled so i probably will but if not at least a little refeed. got to have some serious fuel for that final leg push on sunday haha.

done for the day and back to the low carb grinding. nice even pace today and it really didnt take to much to get going. tanks are pretty full so energy going in wasnt to bad at all. a tad bit fatigued but nothing like tues and tomorrow will be. nice strength today and really good pump. legs are sore as shit now and elbows arent quite as beat up. come to think about it knees arent bad at all either. carbs must have helped even more than what i though. all in all a great session in the books. no breaks up until show time now, so i am sure i will be complaining a bit more as the week ends and rolls into the next. well probably wont be so bad since after sunday it's pretty much all pumping and nothing crazy, lots more posing. happy with progress and how everything looks and feels.

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

Is that the last refeed until feed up time? Or is it play it by ear to see if you’ll get another?

i have no idea man. plan from what i got yesterday is staying the same. i got the training layout for the remainder supp additions and salt and water increases. so i have no clue if i will get a free meal on saturday and what or where the cals will go from this point. hell we may be training all the way up to friday. last heavy leg day on sunday and then mainly just pumping everything all the way up to show time. i will update as i go along. i try to keep my log here as detailed as my written one i carry with me or at least pretty close. you guys really dont need to know about my bathroom habits and other stuff haha.

done for the day. another super early am session about an hour and a half after cardio so the mrs could get in with me. i killed her and my son both with the pace haha. well i killed myself also with the shaky legs and pump. actually buckling a little bit when leaving. so to say that it was a good session is an understatement. not the heaviest but damn sure a good and very productive one. excellent pump and no issues at all. knees actually felt really good and pump was so nasty it was pushing my knee sleeves down the entire session. very successful day in the books. last hard leg day will be sunday for the show.

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

I’m digging the AMRAP as an safer intensity technique. Approximately how much do you drop the weight for the amrap set?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i have been cutting it by 50-60% depending on the movements i am doing. somethings i can keep a tad bit heavier and it burns like a biatch man. love it for sure. hell even in growing i think hitting max effort sets up to 8 without losing perfect form and then doing the amrap would be excellent. maybe going back and forth between that and rest pause work would be a nice stimulus. oh the hamster is running like hell on the wheel lately haha

done for the day. way earlier in the gym today with the mrs. so pace was break neck fast and back to back. still strong and great pump even with the tempo we kept. so i am really surprised at that. no where near as high on weight as i can get with rest pause work that i had been doing but the amraps i believe and the total volume is working to keep me nice and full. elbows and knees still a bit angry but that's expected. not hurt and cruising is the name of the game right now. tightening up and finishing strong. good day in the books and should have a nice little refeed again tomorrow.

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

I am interested, obviously, I've been away so long I'm just curious about what guys are doing now and I've realized pretty quickly that you are on top of things.
Yes that is more conventional. Were you trying to drop some fat first before you started blasting food?

yeah i was actually use a priming in before going into carb blasting mode. make sure that insulin sensitivity was spot on and then crank on the carbs. looking back i should have cycled this approach more frequently and continued to progress even though i stayed pretty freaking lean throughout. probably could have done a bit better though

[guns01]

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

So your going high protein, pretty high, good fats and pretty damn low carbs, huh? Have you tried it before?

Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk

i ran this setup for years. love it but now as i have gotten much older we have opted for a more medium protein medium fat and rotating carb levels. i actually went with a coach this past season and handed everything over to him. not that i cant run it all on my own but i wanted to try some new things and learn a bit from a good one. i can say that on the high pro high fat low carb, my training wasnt as productive and pump worthy but i did stay lean as hell up to about 286. i was able to do that this year up to around 300 with then new approach as well. so more than a few ways to skin the cat up in our game

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

Wondering what you think of Mraformin over straight insulin use?

i personally get more out of slin for driving nutrients into the muscle and great while i am in the offseason or carb loading. the met i think works much better for show prep and keeping insulin much more sensitive. i know people that keep it in pretty much year round and have great success with the met. i normally like to just opt for when i am leaning down though
