Peak Week Day 6
1 more day!
Oh snap! I am freaking pumped and ready to go. My focus is completely on this show and I got top 2 in both my classes in my sights. I may not be freaky conditioned but I'm bringing a sick package of size, symmetry, and conditioning that fits my frame well. I have totally smashed what I looked like this past spring. Joe, I can't thank you enough, you've guided and been there for me the whole way through, you gave me the plan week in and week out and I followed it to a T.
Found an awesome diner that has 24 variations of pancakes (and they can even make it with whole wheat flour!)so thats where you'll find me sunday morning before hitting the treadmill :)

Awesome workout. Can't believe i'm 2 days away from the show. Finally put together my posing routine. Had a song picked out for 2 weeks now just had to throw together some poses I could transition well between. Got an awesome pump in the chest, not as much veinage as yesterday.

Getting pumpeddddddddd. The anticpation between getting back on stage and getting back on the field to make a run at the league championship (we lost in the semi's by 2 points last year) is killing me. Had a solid workout today, strong all the way to the end. Moved the weight with control and a slow negative. Killed it on sprints and hit some poses, NPC style with choosing which side chest and side tricep to display.

10/16 Back & Hams
Messed up and did overhand lat pulldowns, low body fat levels must be effecting my brain. Now I understand why my rack pull up numbers went down. Focused on a slow negative with a pause at the top and bottom of the movement, back and hams were smoked! The pad on seated leg curls causes a lot of pain on my quads so i'm dropping those for the rest of the prep.

10/14 Chest & Triceps 10/15 HIIT
Awesome workout this morning. 2 more weeks left on my gym membership and then im moving to a gym a similar distance from my house but with dumbbells up to 200 lb and much more bodybuilder friendly. For a gym that calls themselves judgement free they sure do have a lot of rules to discriminate against a certain type of people.

10/15
Stadium sprints, 1/4 mile jog, 17 sprints, cool down walk up and down the staidum stairs.
Sprints are getting harder to do, starting to fatigue after the first half. I actually found that if I held my breath for the first 5-10 seconds I was able to go harder, I never noticed how much energy breathing during a sprint consumes.
I'm sweating profusely just sitting here typing this, maybe I found the right mixture to thermogenic blueberry oatmeal pancakes :) I am getting pumped for this upcoming show, ready to redeem myself for this past spring. A couple days ago I was so close to downing an extra 2 scoops of whey and tbsp of almond butter in my last meal but I kept focused. Crazy how I want to cheat on whey and almond butter right? lol

10/12 Delts & Biceps
Had an awesome workout this morning. Upped the reps so definitely happy with that. Used the cambered curl bar, not sure how much it exactly weighs but curls felt heavier than when I normally do them with an olympic bar. Hit some poses between sets and its crazy how 3 days of rest for the legs make a difference in how they look. Saw pics from the Cape show last night, i'm so pumped and ready for the final push, nothing is gonna stop me now.

10/11 Steady State Cardio
Planned on HIIT, started up the warm up and kept it as a low intensity session, would rather give the legs another day to recover than to do another hiit session and hamper recovery.
25 min on Arc trainer @ 6 incline and 25% resistance.

Good workout. Definitely dragging a bit but still plugging away and getting it done. Switched to lying leg curls since the pressure from the pad on seated leg curls was causing a lot of pain in the quads. Cravings are getting weird, everytime i scoop out my whey I think of just throwing in an extra scoop with 2 tbsp of almond and having a huge bowl of protein pudding, lol.

Slipnkot/Metallica playlist + me = sick, intense workouts. Had some awesome workouts these past 2 days.

Delts and Biceps
Finally got a solid night's rest of 8 hours so I was ready to go this morning. Weights and reps are still increasing which is downright ridunkulous. Hamstring is about 80-90%, should be back at 100% by the time I hit quads on thursday.

10/5 Back & Hams
Sick workout for being at work til 130 in the morning and getting up at 8 for this mornings workout. Got some powerfull in so i took 3 pre-bed and slept like a baby. Crazy focus in the gym this morning and the mindset was there. Killed back and still making gains in strength. Tried to stay with an overhand grip on SLDL but lost my grip before the last rep on 205 so I switched to under-over, switching hands for the 2 sets, felt weird since i always go left under and right over, but after the first rep all was good especially with Linkin Park blasting through my headphones. Hamstring felt good, really kept my rep tempo slow and controlled on leg curls, went through full range of motion and focused on getting a stretch at the bottom of the movement.

10/4 Chest & Triceps
Solid workout on 5 hours of sleep, lol. Days like today are what Zap was made for, and I'll be working until 1 tonight, wake up for the gym at 8 tomorrow, and be back here for a 1 o clock nfl game, yay. Definitely feeling it right now, especially after being at a wedding all day. My fiancee ordered me the filet mignon a couple of months ago, so I ate it since it had been awhile since meal 3 and i'll just drop meal 6 (almond butter, fish oil, and whey). It was freezing in the banquet room so my body was begging me to eat something. Just be glad I stayed away from the pasta, mashed potatos, and cake!

10/3 HIIT
6 and 4 weeks out! Yeah Buddy!
Weight: 150 (-2.2)
Waist: 29.75 (-.25)
Chest: 2 mm
Waist: 5 mm
Quad: 6 mm
HIIT outdoors, 1/4 mile jog, 8 50 yard sprints, 9 stadium sprints, 1/4 mile walk and 10 minutes stretching
HIIT + The day after a quad workout = bad idea. My glute-ham tie in was sore as hell by the 8th field sprint and when I went for my 9th sprint my legs just said "NOT HAPPENING", so I had to finish off with stadiums. I guess I'll stick with the stadium sprints from here on out. Happy with the progress this week, 4 more weeks to get freaky shredded for the NPC show and 6 weeks to get even freakier at the Yorton.

10/2 Quads and Calfs
Awesome workout this morning. Took a physiology exam that I nearly aced so I was already in a pumped up mood for the workout. Quads were feeling sore from yesterdays sprints and wasn't sure about how they would hold up but I crushed last weeks numbers. Went slow and deep on front squats, I had to keep an eye on how low I was getting, I started hitting the bar rest on the rack. Barbell step lunges were a little weak but still increased weight, hams were def feeling it from sprints. Weighed 150 this morning.

10/1 Delts & Biceps
DAMN, 30 Days out from the first one! This prep is flying by, pretty soon it will be time to work on becoming the next coming of Chris Faildo. Nailed todays workout with sick form and high intensity. Staidums were pretty brutal but I'm liking outdoors HIIT instead of on a machine. Flag football season starts up in a month and I'm always in better conditioning when I do outdoors cardio like field sprints and stadiums.
