JLinteris's training log (power and physique??)

[jlinteris]

Hi everyone,
My name is Jordan Linteris and I am new to this site. Currently I am in the process of lifting moderately heavy while trying to actually achieve some sort of physique. This is new to me and for years I was always in a huge calorie surplus and didn't focus on aesthetics whatsoever. With that being said, heavy weight is equally as important so I wont be dropping down to get washboard abs or anything. Just want to stay large and not look like a pig doing so. Also, I am steroid-free. I use a multivitimin and whey protein before bed. Anyways I will get on with what I did yesterday.

Incline bench press (4th time doing incline in 3 years because of shoulder)
135x10
185x10
225x10
245x8
275x5
300x1- easy
225x15

Incline DB fly
40,50,60 x 10

Incline cable crossovers
75x10,8,7

1 arm bicep machine curls
45x10
70x8
90x2x4

1 arm cable curls
60x10x3

Incline work is completely foreign to me but as long as I can do it I will be kicking the **** out of myself with it in the next little while to try to bring up my upper chest. Doing biceps with volume to actually develope the biceps is wierd too. Haha, normally I do some reps with a heavy barbell and that is it.

Currently stats:
6'2
245 pounds

Workout went really well today. Volume for the pressing was insane for what I am used to and I was really surprised I got 365 for a double after some of those sets. My arms felt heavy before I even started that set. Tommorow is cardio, then beltless squats on Thursday.

[jlinteris]

Thursday
Beltless squats +200B For reference, 200B means blue strongbands. They have 202 pounds of tension at the top of the lift for me. I set up a scale at the exact height to measure. For everyone that have used them, you understand how mean they are.

Pretty cooked from the band work. Havent used this excercise for a while but plan on doing them more often... bi weekly perhaps. Punthra tried them for the first time today and nearly **** himself. No lie.... the smell in the air was proof!

[punthra]

Damn you! It had nothing to do with the squatting it was the super high protein intake today!

[John Smeton]

very good.

so you try walking out just for cns stimulation?

that is a lot of quad volume and not much hamstring work

lol at Jason almost ****ting himself I got the farts when I do movements like these

[jlinteris]

John,
We rotate our workouts depending on how we are feeling. I normally give any extra attention strictly to hamstring since this rolls into strength gains for squats but for today my lower back was not feeling it. Not that it was tired, but partially out. I noticed it even on squats so I steered clear from stiff legged deadlifts, put the attention to quads and called it there. I agree though, lacking hamstring work!

As for the walkout, yes I do it once a month or so for CNS stimulation. I used to do it often and find that when you overload too often it actually has a negative effect. Rarely using it seems to work for me. Today was a good walkout. The weight was 735 on the top and without a belt tested my core to the max. Thanks for the comment!

[jlinteris]

Oh and John, Jason smelled like the basic rotten egg smell. It was really gross. I am unphaseable and have a strong stomach, but something is obviously wrong with his insides. lol

lol could be all that protein i smell horrible at tims myself , esp when I take 300 plus carbs and 350- plus protein.

back in 2007 I used to take in 300 -400 carbs and 400 protein and I was soo disgusting, now a days I take in less protein 1-1.5 .

how many grams protein do you take in? how about carbs right now?

Ha, ha... I know the feeling. Last time I was bulking my wife would wake me up by spraying my ass with an air freshener. Guess it was pretty bad. As for protein consumption, I have went a year straight basically eating 400+g a day and now I eat about 250g a day. The different in strength and muscle gain is zero! The only difference I got out of eating that much was a sore stomach, bloating and awful gas. I think you need to be cycling for your body to really appreciate the added protein/carbs. Carbs I would say I eat about 3-400g a day, sometimes less, sometimes way the hell more. I generally eat pretty clean.

Shoulders are pretty beat up. The push presses were hard as hell and felt very ackward. Especially catching the rep with an olympic hold. I like to start each rep off of my chest rather than starting at the chin. I am going to be using push press as a heavy shoulder excercise for the next few weelks until it feels natural to perform, then I will mix it up again.

Punthra has been giving me N2TKS as a preworkout. I have used loads of **** but this stuff kicks ass. I dont get as energetic as, say, ephedrine, but it is close. The reason I like it is that the energy is maintained well beyond the workout. I still felt like training, or running or something. Something I will buy once I eat all of Punthra's jug
