HokiePride on a Athletix {Titanium} Test Run

[HokiePride]

June 3, 2013​

The Dedication:
JD this is a great opportunity and I want to thank you for picking me to graciously utilize this product and test it to the MAX. I promise you will not be dissappointed and already I'm off to an amazing start. Sit back, relax and be preparred to be amazed. I will not hold back. For a guy like me, almost 40, 18 month old son and one on the way. I deffinitely can tell you I'm challeneged on a lot of measures outside the gym but well focused and dedicated to the game. Did I mention I'll be 40 this month. Yes, it's on and gain thank you for this opportunity. LEHGO!

The Workout​

:
Fiat Bench:
135x20
225x15
315x10
405x5 {PR, had atleast 2 more in me}
425x2 {WTF}
Dropped Down and completed dropsets:
225x15, 315x12, 345x10

Dips: BWx10x10 @352lbs

Notes: Took the little blue pills, three to be exact and went to sleep {work on Drilling RIG}. Woke up around 1pm and got prepared for the grueling 10 day chest specialization workout I plan on doing. It encompasses a brutal 10 day stretch of different exercises for chest for 10 days. 5 days straight, then every other for the next five.

 

[JudgementDay]

Amazing lifts!

 

[DJBeanPole]

I'm in Hokie. Impressive bench numbers. So of those rep counts would straight up crush most individuals. Looking forward to seeing what kind of an edge Titanium can help you achieve

Notes:
Went to bed @ 6am this morning and trained @ 3:30pm until 5:30pm FASTED. This means no food. There is a reason for this, torch BF. BTW I took the little blue pill {3, Titanium} before sleeping following my night shift. . Also, I completed the fast at 9pm tonight. I have a 10hr feeding window. Remained strong and torched my chest delts and traps. No soreness whatsoever. These pills for some reason remind of smurfs, LOL.
I'm on one, and have no plans of stopping. The Big 4-0 on June 22, I get mistaken for a younger version of myself as a football player when I played basketball all my life. Except for the two times I walked onto two different semi pro teams when I was 35 and 37. I played semi pro rugby at 38. Lehgo!



I'm on one and have no plans of stopping. 2013 is a gamechanger for me and progress in the gym. These exercises were done in the order written. Yes, delts/traps then chest. You feel me. Take note, the bench numbers from yesterday. two days in a row for chest and 405+ on two different bench exercises. Almost 4-0 and doing it big.

 

[HokiePride]

Amazing lifts!

Thanks JD. I'm believing in this one and on Day2. You kidding me on the recovery, stamina. Look at the order of exercises. I write them how I do them. Fasted as well. It's insane. Wait until I post Day 3 workout. I'm loving it.

I'm loving this Titanium, I'm putting a stamp on it already. I was off a whole week before doing those two workouts. I have spotters when I go above 365. Every lift has been witnessed. This is a reason why I can;t find training partners because people look at me and think they can;t keep up. In fact it's the oppoiste. They will actually help me to slow down and sometimes backoff. When I'm giving an opportunity like this I go full bore.

In .... Very interested in learning about this chest specialization..

425 = Beast

If your interested in it, I will sit and write it out and send it to you. The volume is crazy. 5 straight days of hitting chest and the follwoing 5 days is every other day. It's recommended in the article for a 35 and younger person. LOL. WHATEVER. The volume is crazy.

In!
I was happy last week when I got 5 reps on BW dips at 298lbs. Now I feel weak lol

5 reps is awesome CF. I will film a lift for this log I have planned. I purchased a 11 foot 5 3/4 from ELITEFTS @ 41lbs. I plan on hanging around my neck Friday and busting a 5 set-10rep count. I purchased it because my waist is too wide for any dip chain I came across. Also when my second son is born I may be limited to Dips/Pullups which I can do in my shed hanging from rafters @ 4 reps each time I do them. Add the chain for negative holds and 6 months later I may be able to get back in the gym. ALthough I'm pre equipped with a 2 day a week maintenance training schedule for weights and calisthenics daily until I can get back to 3 or 4 days. We shall see. DO your thing! Look up this guy on YouTube,
D3Hundred and you will see where my insperation comes from to do what I do.

YES!
Hey at 300 for 5 is wicked man, very strong, HP is just on a different level than us, he is def in beast mode!

Thanks JD. I just don't listen to what these magazines put out. I get to the gym and basically will do what I feel like doign regardless of what I did the day before. SOmetimes I'll hit a muscle group two or three days in a row or per week. As long as Squat/Bench/Deads are included each week, my staples.

Oh hell nah the damn roof is on fire now! This kid is beast mode all over. def in this!

NIce to see you Pack, I will not dissappoint.

 

[DJBeanPole]

I'm straight up fired up for this log. Hokie you are providing some sick detail! Loving it!

 

[wasme]

If your interested in it, I will sit and write it out and send it to you. The volume is crazy. 5 straight days of hitting chest and the follwoing 5 days is every other day. It's recommended in the article for a 35 and younger person. LOL. WHATEVER. The volume is crazy.

Definitely interested..but only if it is not too much trouble

That sounds hardcore!

 

[HokiePride]

Actually I went back and reread the article! It's 20 day specialization. 10 days straight of chest work to begin your workout and the next 10 every other day! Brutal! I'll sit and write it out tonight. Under the promo thread for this log I wrote some things I also do for a big bench. Check it it. Well of to he gym! I also update you on yesterday's workout!

Note: 10:1:1-means a 10 second hold on the way down, 1 sec pause and 1 sec ascend. Yes, this was done in this order. Also I took my blue pills this morning going off shift and didn't eat. WOke up at 1:00pm and rested until 3pm and headed to the gym. It takes about 40 minutes to get there and I just did my thing. Didn't eat dinner until 10pm. Fasted 14 hours. Yet my strength remains unaffected. Wait until you see what I did today. I'm posting a day behind. It's day 4 today. I'm showing no signs of soreness. I'm torching my delts, bis, tris, traps with this 20 day chest specialization. I'm utilizing upwards of 95% on bench lifts. Also I'm moving compounds lifts last in the workout to dig deep into fibers. MOst would run home hurting and complaining, I get stronger as I continue to workout it's ridiculous.. Titanium is making me a believer. I will film a lift so you can see what I look like and to prove what Im doing.

Notes:
No muscle soreness to report. I'm doing things in the gym I never dreamed of and I'm also freestyling a bit from the program but sticking to 10 straight days of chest and every other for an additional 10. It's unreal the results I'm getting. Thank God, because I'm beating my delts to death. maybe when this is over, I should peak around my 40th birthday, {June 22} I could do a mock Bench Meet and finally pause rep 440. I have been trying to hit this number for 2 years. The most I hit was 430lbs. I've done it in competition.

Tomorrows I plan on doing weighted dips {with my Mega 5/8", 11 1/2' long 41 lbs} Dip Chain for 5 setsx 10 reps to kick off Leg day! It's time for Wheels and will finish off with pushups.

 

[DJBeanPole]

Damn dude you passed out in the gym? That's crazy!

 

[Wilpit]

Great workout man. I couldn't imagine blasting chest and delts 10 days in a row

 

[Wilpit]

Especially at that high volume and insane weight

 

[wasme]

Damn the weight you push Hokie...

 

[HokiePride]

Damn dude you passed out in the gym? That's crazy!

Not literally just PUMPED and had tunnel vision. I went to a different place in my mind and kept killing the reps.

Great workout man. I couldn't imagine blasting chest and delts 10 days in a row

Thanks, this is what happens when I get in the gym and decide to get creative. I just think of things to do although I'm following the written 20 specialization program in the magazine from Planet muscle. I'm using it as a blueprint.

Especially at that high volume and insane weight

I just tested myself and got stronger as I pushed through.

Damn the weight you push Hokie...

I just wish I had a training partner again. Maybe I wouldn't do such things. I use all my anger from being away from home as fuel.

 

[DJBeanPole]

Not literally just PUMPED and had tunnel vision. I went to a different place in my mind and kept killing the reps.

I love that feeling. Strong work.

 

[packers6211]

Man remind me not to ever post my log of chest same day this Freak does!!!! Wicked db presses man I can only dream of that!

 

[HokiePride]

Guess what I did more chest work, this makes Day 6. I'm so stoked from it, I actually filmed it and skipped legs. Legs reserved for tomorrow! BTW, it was 10x10 of Dips with a 11ft, 41lb chain. Total weight 394lbs. I'm about to name it and load it. It was filmed @ set #6 and because it was filmed this set went to 15. Add to the fact of what I did beginning Monday! I got one more day at RIG to hit the gym for a nice 7 day stretch.

[video=youtube_share;uh-35jNxBgM]http://youtu.be/uh-35jNxBgM[/video]

A part of a 20 Day Chest Specialization! On day 6, filmed @ set #6 of 10x10!
Keep in mind all the other Chest work completed this week. I tell things I do
and their all witnessed. These workouts I create. I utilized this chain for the
first time ever. I never used a chain to dip. I bought this chain from elitefts
because dip chains do not fit my waist. This chain sat in my vehicle for
5 months before I decided to use it. I think I need a second chain.

 

[Wilpit]

Damn man. You are a big boy and are doing those dips easily. Good work

 

[HokiePride]

Thanks Wilpit! I look really bad on video. Very different in person as far as how i look! It doesn't do me any justice but I appreciate the comment!

 

[wasme]

I was thinking them same. Impressive dude..

 

[JudgementDay]

So strong!

This 20 day chest routine your doing is hardcore, I've never heard of anything like this, I can't imagine how sore your chest and shoulders are feeling.

 

[cubsfan815]

Beast!

Keep killing it. Very motivating

 

[HokiePride]

So strong!

None. No shoulder or chest pain! In fact I'm going tonight for day 9. Yesterday off due to traveling from Rig to home. Up until last night. I was awake for 36hrs, from noon Sunday until 11 last night. My math is off. Worked night shift and came home to wife and son. He didn't take a
Nap so I had to stay awake. Today well rested and on my game. Two more days of chest and switch to every other day for another 10 days.
This shall complete my 20 day shocker. Btw, I forgot to post day 7. Let me write that in here.

 

[HokiePride]

Beast!

Keep killing it. Very motivating

Thanks Cf. comment very appreciated.

315x12
405x3
445x3 {w/ Slingshot}

Lt flyes, presses, crossovers.

Notes:
I did not forget I will list this workout. I have a 18 month d who doesn't like me using phone or CPU. I'm typing this while his mother is trying to put him down for a nap since he insists on beating everybody up, lol.

 

[packers6211]

that 405 is wicked man flat beast mode.

 

[DJBeanPole]

I love the slingshot man. My buddy has one and he let me try it out and it was pretty awesome. Allowed me to lift some heavy weight that I otherwise would not have been able to do.

 

[JudgementDay]

Amazing! Man how is your chest feeling with this routine? hitting over 400 so many days in a row.

 

[HokiePride]

that 405 is wicked man flat beast mode.

Thanks Pak

 

[HokiePride]

I love the slingshot man. My buddy has one and he let me try it out and it was pretty awesome. Allowed me to lift some heavy weight that I otherwise would not have been able to do.

Yeah it's a great training tool if used properly!

 

[HokiePride]

Amazing! Man how is your chest feeling with this routine? hitting over 400 so many days in a row.

Great and I have another few to list.

Monday June 17, 2013

300 push-ups

Tuesday June 18, 2013

Flat Bench: 135x30, 225x20, 315x8, 365x4, Slingshot {440x3, 445x3, 455x2}

Wednesday 10 days Complete, moving to every other day for another 10 days!

I found that I'm just built for heavy benching and it doesn't bother me. My delts are crazy looking of you were to see a shot of them better than what you see in the video. I told you the video does me no justice in what I truly look like.

I found a video of how to utilize the slingshot to improve your bench. It examines you should use it once a week for 4-5 sets in 6-2 rep sessions. It didn't say for how long but this is the summary. I will list the workout, I lost my CPU due to age. It's terrie doing all these updates via mobile phone. I can't stand it.

I have a 5 month emotional pregnant woman who watches everything I do thinking the wrong things. Too funny some days and others its irritating. It makes this difficult at times.

 

[wasme]

455... lol

 

[HokiePride]

455... lol

Huh? Me benching 495 w/ Slingshot! difference is I'm utilizing it better to achieve my end goal!

http://youtu.be/1f-Txc4o-54

 

[packers6211]

Bro I can't even begin to say how damn strong you are. Your bench numbers would make the pros sick. Come down to Alabama and teach me your ways!!

 

[wasme]

495... lol.. (better?)

 

[JudgementDay]

waaaaahhh 300 push ups and hits huge numbers on bench the next day, this routine is nuts!
