Re: Gusto's Journal

What an awesome ghetto light pump workout with my brother today. We headed out early in the AM to a nearby park with a track and pull up and dip bar. Pissing rain on us and it was awesome. Going to elaborate on some things because I love showing people that if you’re creative enough you can still maintain working out even on the road without access to a gym. Whenever I go on vacation and I know I won’t have access to a gym I always carry some dumbbells and an easy curl bar with some plates with me. Keep in mind I’m only doing light pump workouts now post comp to just get some blood flowing and make sure my tendons are good to go. Really decent workout nonetheless with a great pump at the end.


20 min cardio


Air squats/ Dumbbell fly/ dumbbell skull crushers (No bench for the flys but if you go slow and keep your arms relatively straight the range of motion is just fine without your arms resting on the ground)

BW x 20/ 25s x 20/ 25s x 20

BW x 20/ 25s x 20/ 25s x 20

BW x 20/ 25s x 20/ 25s x 20


Dumbbell lunges/ Push ups/ dumbbell curls

17.5s x 12/ BW x 25/ 17.5s x 20

17.5s x 12/ BW x 25/ 17.5s x 20

17.5s x 12/ BW x 25/ 17.5s x 20


2 Arms dumbbell rows/ side laterals/ front raises

50s x 20/ 10s x 15/ 10s x 15

50s x 20/ 10s x 15/ 10s x 15

50s x 20/ 10s x 15/ 10s x 15


Dumbbell pullover (did these from the back of the bed of my truck with a yoga mat to get a really nice stretch)

50 x 20 x 3


Assisted pull ups (these were actually more of an assisted body weight high row. Using a dip bar in the park we kept our heels on the ground, grip level with the face. Great squeeze and great back pump)

3 x 20


Rumble rolling and stretching




Meal 1: protein cakes

Meal 2: 12 oz turkey burger and 2 cups rice with low carb BBQ sauce and buffalo ranch

Meal 3: Approx 10-12 oz cheeseburger on bun, rice pasta mac & cheese, italian chicken soup

Meal 4: 12 oz turkey burger and 2 cups rice with low carb BBQ sauce and buffalo ranch

Meal 5: 12 oz turkey burger with low carb BBQ sauce

Re: Gusto's Journal

cool thing about what gusto is doing here is he is getting his clean meals in and even with the added nasty he is coming close to or hitting his cals for the day. if i were guessing i would say he is only maybe 10-15lbs heavier than stage and i would guess that about 5-10 of that is from water. no fat gain just yet though and probably feels like a million bucks

haha, shows that it isnt my first rodeo lol. that is perfect to a t. if i wanted to push it we could zero you out for about 3-4 days load you up dry you out and probably put you onstage again in a wk or 2 about 4-5lbs heavier and just as crisp and dry. but you know me, i dont want any metabolic damage going on and would rather ease back in and keep the solid gains coming with as little stress and injury risk as possible

Re: Gusto's Journal

looks like someone ran out of intra. love the vitargo but it kills my appetite big time for some reason. crazy thing is it doesnt sit heavy in my stomach while and after drinking it it just kills my desire to eat

No didn't run out just figured I'd use up the rest of Vitargo while my workouts weren't so intense. Forgot to post my numbers earlier they're up now.
