HP's Summer of Alpha with Athletix Sports Stack

[HokiePride]

Good night brother I wish you video this!!! Those are some wicked pr's and lifts man no joke.

I did video it, the final lift following the 445 negative. I tried to have it sent to my email. The guy who filmed it still has it. Hopefully I can log onto my you tune account in the gym and have him upload. I will then submit to JD AND ATHLETIX. I'm so stoked. I never hit 405 above 3 reps, non the less two weeks in a row for 5 reps. The negative of 445 I controlled for 5-7 seconds. YES, that long. It felt easy until I hit the bottom which I'm sure those muscles were taxed.

Yup, HP is killin it with his lifts.

Thanks JD. I'm working with my spotter to get stronger as well. He's smashing PR after PR. He isn't quit as strong with the slanger. The guys still don't understand how to use it. I got it from first use. You still have to be able to handle the weight. I'm capable, just not enough to get it out of hole which is why I can rep 455 with it although I can't handle 440 for a single. It's coming.

BTW, I'm set for the 100% RAW NC STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ON AUGUST 11, 2012. Paid my dues and hotel stay on the ready. On behalf of JD AND ATHLETIX,I'm hitting a new venue, alone, no wifey (they will be away), new crowd, new sanction meet by 100% RAW, and attempting to hit 425 paused again if not a new PR 430. WHY NOT 440? I will attempt this in my home venue a week later in front of my 6 month old, wife and home crowd. I know, I know, ignorant yet satisfying. Patience grasshopper.

Remember I hit 425 over a YEAR AND HALF AGO IN COMP. SINCE JUNE 23, 2012. This will be the closest time period to hit it consistently. WHY DEDICATED TO ATHLETIX, because I'm running Licogenix, Division 1 and Formula-X. Do want me to post a pic of the sculpture, if I win?...........if so, let me know. Until then I'm off to get prepared.

Workout AM

Pullups/Chinups: 17 (PR), 10, 14,10, 16 (PR), followed by (8 Wide, PR) For the first time ever I hit 8 wide. I usually crashed at 5-6. I took all last week off from doing any pullups. Peeps please remember I weigh 352lbs. Wow. I'm smashing them. I will be adding more calisthenics in the next few weeks on top of my normal workouts. I workout in the gym 3 times a week but at home is different story.

BTW, as soon as I get the video from the guy who filmed it I will send it to JD. It's up to him if he will post it. It's for his company.

[packers6211]

[JudgementDay]

Hell yeah, keep up the good work!

[HokiePride]

YEah 17 is amazing, your strength is insane.

Appreciate it! I'm just looking to find the sweet spot on my lats, wheels and overall asthetics. I want the Powerbuilder look. You know look like a bodybuilder but strong as a powerlifter.

Oh snap I seez it now wicked bro and helllllssssssss Yeah to the pr's man that is insane. Nothing more exciting on here to see fellow brothers hitting their prs!! MORE MORE MORE

I keep getting better and better witht he pullups. I'm looking to get better with doing nothing but bodyweight. When I move to PA I may not have time to hit the gym. I'm trying to get as lean and strong as I can at this weight. Slowly peeling off the layers of fat by building strength a bit more muscle and walking for cardio. I'm slowly making headway.

Hell yeah, keep up the good work!

NO doubt. I'm borrowing a camera from a guy at work tonight. Seems like it was just stupid as hell trying to get teh other video from the friend who shot it last week. So I'm going to film it, edit and get it too you, hopefully by Wednesday. BTW, I received the package so I'm on it! Here's tonights plan:

PLANNED WORKOUT TONIGHT (EDITED)

BENCH PRESS: 135x30, 225X20, 275x15, 315X12, 365X8, 410x 4.5(This will be a PR, look for update tonight), 455X1/2 (Neg.), 475X2 (w/ Slanger, PR)
INCLINE DB: 60x3x15
DIPS: BWX15X3
CARDIO: 3.2mphX@1.5% for 35min.

NOTE*
Hit my numbers tonight. Strength is incredible. The slanger is awesome. I couldn't believe I hit 475 for a double. I only decided to try this since I had to do 455 for a single. I'm smashing these numbers. I'm only using the slingshot after mUscles are completely taxed. I'm also using Div. 1 @ 6 a day and 1 scoop of Formula-X daily. People at the gym now believe in the slanger thats for sure. I'm stoked. I have a comp. Saturday and next Saturday. I never attempted weights like this so when my 7 weeks of this program I'm running is over I should end @ 455 for a single without the slanger! I'm actually on week 3. Progress is going well. Big ups to ATHLETIX and JD.

[JudgementDay]

Those would be sick lifts! Go get it bro!

Forgot to ask if he sent you 2 bottles of Division 1, but if he did I would run 8 caps a day, the results are sick Nice job on the lifts, amazing strength.

Will do. I'm loving this newfound strength. It's off the charts. SATURDAY I will put it to the test. I'll begin ramping up to 8 today. Two comps back to back. This is going to be Epic. Hitting a PR in comp will be a happy ending to almost two months going in with ATHLETIX.

[JudgementDay]

Awesome! Can't wait.

Tonight Workout Plan

Incline Press: 135x20, 225x15, 275x10, 315x8, 365x4, 405x1 ( I have to do this to make sure i didn't lose it)
Dips: BWx20x4

Note:
This is probably the dumberst thing I will ever do but I have to do a check to make sure I still got it on the Incline. I only competed a single rep a month ago I believe and never hit it again. I know I have a comp Saturday which is why I didn't add squats in yesterday. It's beast mode and I'm on TP/JackedMIcro. I believe I still will get it done Saturday and bring another win home Saturday. Oh BTW, I'm competing again next Saturday as well on my home turf @ Tazewell County Fair. I will get the 440 up, Flag or Fail. My openers and numbers will look like this Saturday August 11, 2012 385/410/430 (PR). Saturday August 18, 2012 385/405/440 (PR). Lehgo..........

wow! CONGRATS HP! That is so awesome, way to take home Gold!

[HokiePride]

One to hear the funny part, I was talking to some people since I was there for the first time within 100% RAW, which they can drug test you on the spot. They had 8 kits there in case they felt like doing so. Well, I wasn't paying attention and they called my name. I had to take my pants off and pull up my straps and get on the platform within a minute of calling me. Well, I never warmed up.

Get this, I had to begin and lift 375 cold with in 30 secs. I failed at my first two attempts due to lifting my head. I pushed it with ease. Third time I got the lift. If I would have failed the third time I was done and would have not placed. It wasn't a personal best but I never ever in my life lifted that much weight without doing something before hand. Good thing I got another meet scheduled this Saturday @ Tazewell Cty Fair. Different federation but I doing it nonetheless.
