[breezy11]

Made my day.

[804]

NICE! I love em! Especially heated like you told me. They need to make them in a pack of 50, for people like us!

[wasme]

Anyone tried the peanut butter cups they make?

4/25/13

Seated Leg Curl
120x8
120x8
120x8
120x8, x25 partials

-very strict form



BB Back Squat (explosive)
2 warm-up x10
6 sets of 275x6

-I wasn’t concerned about the weight with these at all. My main goal was to make sure that each rep was as explosive as possible. I maintained the ability to accelerate throughout the entire ROM with the weight used. I may increase the weight if I do these again next week.



Leg Press (escalating set)
360x10
450x10
540x10
630x10, x10 partials

-constant tension (no *******) until changing weight

-This was done as one set with quick rest periods while I added more weight. I had planned on having someone add plates every 4 reps (while I paused) until failure, but I didn’t have the option. This approach did the trick though and brought on an intense pump. I’ll probably add partials at each weight next time.



Leg Extensions / Quad stretch
130x10 (explosive/2 sec hold and squeeze at top) / 10 sec stretch
120x15 (explosive/2 sec hold and squeeze at top) / 20 sec stretch
110x20 (smooth ROM), stand up 5 sec, sit back down 110x15 partials (out of bottom) / 30 sec stretch

-I’m not a big fan of leg extensions, but these were awesome. I couldn’t believe how painful it was by the end.

-Stretch was done by resting top of foot on leg ext. pad and knee on the ground. I was going to use a bench, but it was convenient and worked great.



DB Stiff-Legged Deads
70x15
70x15



Standing Calf Raise / Dorsiflexion
10 reps, hold at top 10 sec, x3 (30 total reps) / 50
10, 10, 10 / 45

-I don’t know the weight used.

-I normally do calves twice a week, but never mention it.

No.

Probably my second favorite behind CCCD.

Speaking of PB & J...I saw chocolate PBJ bars at Trader Joes today. Very tempting, but I didn't grab one.

If I drank coffee, I'd definitely try it.

[kbayne]

Bomb looking meal you got there, and to top it off with a Quest bar, even better

Thanks man. It was great. Putting South African Smoke seasoning in eggs is one of the best cooking moves I've ever made lol. I'll probably finish all of my meals with a Quest Bar today. I haven't had them for a week and can't resist.

South African Smoke seasoning huh? I'll have to see if I can find that and give it a try on my eggs (seriously love eggs haha). I'll be investing in a few boxes of Quest Bars soon enough .

It's from Trader Joes. I'm not sure if you can get it anywhere else. You'll love them. I got a box for $25 today in store...not bad.

Everything is from Trader Joes haha. I'll see if I can find anything close to it.

Not bad at all... 12 bars in a box?

In my world, yes lol. I usually get chicken breasts from a local butcher shop, but haven't been to another grocery store in months.

Correct. It usually costs a few dollars more online (with shipping) than I paid today.

Trader Joes seems like a legit store to buy groceries. All I have is Wal-Mart haha, but better then most.

Do you usually just get one flavor, or mix em up if you can?

Yup, great food and prices. I bought some ziploc bags at the wal-mart next to Trader Joes today. They don't have that kind of stuff.

I usually have about 4 different flavors on hand, but have been slacking. I'm about to order their PB cups though.

[kbayne]

I have only had a few flavors of Quest Bars. My local *** store has em and went in a few times to get some, might go there right now actually to grab some . Not sure what flavors they have though.

If they have cookie dough, definitely grab those. They're shockingly good.

[kbayne]

Didn't even know they made cookie dough flavor. I'll be sure to grab a few of every flavor they have.

[bolt10]

Ya CCD is still exclusive there so that is the only place you will find it (or Quest's website). I grab some every time I go and the never seem to last.

[breezy11]

Yeah, it's fairly new and exclusive to where you're going shopping (and Quest directly).

Beat me to it

[kbayne]

I will only go in there if I absolutely positively have to haha.

I hadn't been there in a few years until the CCCD bars came out lol.

[wasme]

I buy them out of the back of a nutrition store in Toronto. They said until something is changed on the label they cannot sell them 'storefront'.. at least they do not charge tax that way either though!!!! I think the only flavor I did not like was coconut, and the chocolate brownie wasnt a fav either. Of course, cannot get cookie dough yet..

[Distilled Water]

I wonder how they'll be on my stomach now that it's functioning properly....

[804]

I'm not gonna lie, I love the CCCD, and Banana nut.. But the PB&J sounds amazing...

I wonder what's "wrong" with the label? I wouldn't want them to change a thing if I were you. Those are towards the bottom of my list as well.

If they gave you the green light for solid food I'd probably give it a try.

They're really good. I'm going to use one in PB Marshmallow protein ice cream.

[breezy11]

Dinner.



grilled chicken breast
carrots, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli cooked in extra virgin coconut oil
grilled asparagus wrapped in uncured peppered turkey bacon

Followed by a CCCD Quest Bar

[Jiigzz]

Yuuuum. I had me a very similar meal today, sorta. Bacon wrapped chicken breast with Avacado/ basil/ pine nut/ olive oil pesto in between the bacon and chicken with 2 cups mixed veges.

Sounds delicious. I don't know why I never think to wrap chicken in bacon. Maybe I'll try something similar tomorrow.

[wasme]

That dinner looks awesome Breezy.

The lady at the store said it doesnt pass 'Health Canada'regulations... Figures as much.

I'd heard of them, but wasn't sure what they were, so I looked it up .

I picked this up today and will put it in-between my chicken and bacon.

4/26/13


Today was my first go at chest and shoulders together and I loved it. I'm going to have the time of my life with this new training split.


Decline DB Press (slight decline using 25lb plates)
2 warm-up x8
70x8
80x8
85x8
90x8

-1 sec stretch at bottom/1 sec flex at top



BB Flat Bench (1 sec pause/ explosive)
3 warm-up x5
185x5
185x5
185x5
175x5
175x5

-I wanted every rep as explosive as possible. I could've stayed at 185lbs, but the last rep on the 3rd set didn't "feel" explosive enough.



Incline BB Bench (slight incline using 25lb plates)
2 warm-up x6
215x6
215x6
215x6

-ROM: ~2 inches above chest to ¾ *******



Ladder Pushups (starting with stretch pushups)
20, 8, 8
21, 9, 8

-stretch pushup: feet on flat bench/holding dumbbells

-1st set stopped ~2 reps from failure on each partial set. 2nd set all to failure.



DB Lateral Raise (seated)
1 warm-up x10
20x12
15x12
15x12

-very strict form

-I felt a little trap involvement/shrug on the last couple reps at 20lbs, so I lowered weight. I wanted to make sure it was 100% delt work.



Cage Press (explosive/2 sec squeeze)
3 warm-up x5
145x5
145x5
145x5
145x5
145x5

-I set the bar back down on the pins each rep, reset, and pressed explosively. First time using this approach and it felt awesome.



Incline DB Swings (destroyer set)
45x60 (partials)
20x30 (partials)
10x10 (full ROM)



40 mins LISS later

[kbayne]

Good looking workout breezy. Never have tried Chest and Shoulders together. Combining the two though does make perfect sense .

How you did the Cage Presses, is exactly how I did them. Really felt awesome.
