Some recent workouts

Re: Some recent workouts

I think I'm going to do masters over 40 and the open. I think I will come in around 189 to hit the top of the middleweights. That's 13 more lbs in ten weeks. However Disney is in 12 days so we can scrap about two weeks because I'll be gone a week and betting it'll take two weeks to get back to where I left off

Re: Some recent workouts

I upped my cardio game a bit today. I did 5min in the stepmill followed by 25 on the treadmill. Still basically low intensity steady state cardio but the stepmill in the beginning spikes my hr way more than the tread itself and it stays elevated for a bit when I switch to treadmill. My plan is keep following this pattern of cardio till it's almost totally stepmill. After just five minutes my legs were on fire. I may also throw in some treadmill push intervals as I go along for some shock value too.

Re: Some recent workouts

Now you have me wondering what I could do with some more specified pre and intra workout supps. Hmmm...

Re: Some recent workouts

When I get the OK to resume training I will ease back into it. But will start with the German Volume Training and concentrate on proper form.

Re: Some recent workouts

I was supposed to have a buddy cone over who is doing classic physique in October to teach him posing but he flaked. This guy used to be a real close friend, training partner and co worker. Once he ended his last long term relationship he fell into the single guy lifestyle and stopped training with me in the am I. Favor of going to clubs and picked up vaping and smoking. He is also 20yrs younger than me so I did have the conversation with him about 18 months ago that I get it and if I was in my 20s I would want to be partying too. I told him at my point in life the am workouts are my only option but when he is ready for a change I'll be there. We have tried making plans to train in a weekend so that it won't be as early but I still try to go before the family is up for the day. I may finish setting up the mirrors in the basement and try practicing some poses myself. I did find some great music that I might use if I decide to compete in October too. We are on vacation from aug 26th-sept 2 so I would have seven weeks to diet. Being that I'm sitting at a good place right now at the low 200s I definitely don't think seven weeks would be cutting it short. I have so many tweaks I can make with my diet and I still barely do any substantial cardio.

Re: Some recent workouts

I really like making the intra from the separate ingredients. A lot of the premade intras use less protein and less carbs. The old intra md was something like 14 gems of protein. With the peptopro I get 24. For a little while I was putting the synthesize in the intra but it felt too heavy and I felt the pump was better when I switched to adding it to the pre. I definitely think my strength, endurance and recovery are greatly improved with my strategy. I also feel it has helped my recomp a lot. I do still have some complicated pharmacology going on but I don't feel that is the root of the progress. I was really hoping to have some photos taken Friday to post for everyone but the trainer at the gym I was at was off so I didn't have anyone to do it. I'm really hoping to get some soon.

Re: Some recent workouts

that intra setup you got going on is spot on man. how you liking it and how much of a difference have you seen in recovery? i was making my own but i just went ahead and get the peri md from true nutrition. that or i order and use recovery factor from granite supps. i can tell a huge difference if i dont use a my intra protocol more so than if my nutrition is off

Re: Some recent workouts

Preworkout is up to 1 full scoop of total war, 1 no synthesize, 1 scoop karbolyn
During is 1 scoop peptopro, 2 scoops highly branched cyclic dextrin, 1scoop karbolyn, 10gms creapure, 5 gms glutamine.
Pre bed I'm using fade out by RedCon1 with a little karbolyn for flavor.
I had switched my shakes back to carnivor mass because RedCon1 was out of mre blueberry for about a month but I am using the mre again.
I may drop my insulin which will allow me to cut back the carbs in my pre and intraworkout drinks. If I cut those carbs in half that'll be 80gms of carbs cut.
