Yeah I need to start throwing some decline bench in.. decline flies atleast. I couldn't imagine doing abs only once or twice a week, I don't feel my day is full-filled unless I worked my abs at the end of my workout.

I can imagine not doing them..lol.

I will be doing them 3 days a week starting on the 3rd. M, W, and F. I will do 2 exercises, with 10-15 reps, and they will be supersets for 3 Total sets with 30 sec. rest. Hopefully that will put them in gear. I need to learn more about the ab muscle. I dont work them nearly as much as I should.
 
I swear if you look at a lot good physiques of people that are famous it is ALL abs. Example: Ryan Reynolds, Mark Whalberg etc. etc. etc. like where the hells the lats guys.

Lats..ive never worked them. I think I will in the summer though to "even" out my body and look more like a bodybuilder/athlete. not sure.

I Just don't feel it works the chest well enough to be considered a "chest exercise". The only time your chest is actually doing work is at the top part of the rotation. What I tend to do at the end of my chest work-out is just grab 2 25 pound plates hold em together and bring them in and out(don't know how to describe good).
Anyways, I think the Overhead actually works the lats better then the chest but correct me if I'm wrong.

Gotcha, I was talking using it more of a lat/pec minor tie in exercise. One for baseball. Actually the pec minor is used most at the bottom, as the muscle is used to expand the ribcage (from what I learned in anatomy) If it really dose much for chest development i dont know and wouldn't do this exercise if I didn't play ball.

Since I was doing chest monday and back friday. It would get hit twice a week.
 
when you squat do you box squat cause i suggest doing box squats every other week and the inbetween weeks go on the leg press and go super wide pointing your toes out high reps in the 20 range and go heavy, i guarentee youll hit that 500lb deadlift within a month easy!

No and I won't be powerlifting or deadlift until further notice.


Yesterday after I pulled 475, I pulled a something in my knee. idk what. No more deadlifting or catching.

Im still gonna squat though and I am going to replace the deadlift with powercleans on leg/back days.

EDIT: I need to do more box squats though. I enjoyed them and did feel somewhat stronger.
Thank you for that tip king. I bet if I never hurt myself last year, I could pull 500 by my birthday.

Damn dude sorry to hear about that. I'm sure you'll be up to full strengths in no time.

Thanks for the support bro. I know I will be fine by Monday. To be honest, I really don't care about not deadlifting. I planned on taking 2 months off during my cut and not go heavy until next November. Im not going to be breaking state records in the 250lb weight class, so nobody besides close family really cares.

I need to focus on being an athlete, not a strongman. Even though I cant catch, I can still play Outfield.
 
Please check my original post.

Well guys I have been editing so many things about my cut, but I do have my 'plan' all ready to go.
 
well..i went powerlifting guys. i put a brace on my knee and lifted.

Bench
210lbs x 1
220 x 0 (foot came off ground?)
225 x 0

Squat
300lbs x 1
315lbs x 1
335lbs x 2 (no lift. not allowd to do anymore then 1 rep?)

Deadlift
425lbs x 1
455lbs x 1 (best deadlift in the 165lb weight class)
480lbs x 0

-I put up 980lbs total (1,000 if i knew the rules and only did 335 once)

-Won a deadlift trophy

-Ate 4 Fish fillets, 2 chicken wraps, 1 hamburger, and some powerade at mickie d's....

Sounds like an MCL or medial meniscus sprain. Be careful not exacerbate it, particularly on squats.
Click to expand...

I need to research about this now. I want to be safe at all costs.

Im taking the next week off, so I will see how I feel. Then on the 10th I begin cutting and doing high reps lower weight. Or, I might just 'deload'. Im not 10% sure.

EDIT: 1,000 POSTS!!!!

thats sweet. lol

I have had MCL/medial meniscus issues for a few years now (which resulted from squats). It doesn't sound too bad, but just be cautious; nothing sucks more than injury.

Nasty stuff. I just need to take it slow if I lift next week (deloading) so nothing is hurt. I doubt anything will hurt from reppping 225lbs on the deadlift.
 
** I will not be taking any Leviathan Reloaded until March 10th. When I do start, I will take 2 pills Pre-Wo/Cardio until the bottle runs out (it will last about 5 weeks). So, do not expect any updates.
 
Good thing that I took a week off. I felt fine monday, but tuesday I got a crap load of symptons and I am just now starting to feel better.

Instead of doing a traditional routine like I planned, I am now thinking about "Muscle Confusion". I have been reading about it and it makes sense to me. Anyone have any thoughts about it?

basically just doing one week of say 4 sets, 10-12 reps, 4 exercises..then doing a 5x5 routine the next week, then doing 4-6 reps, then do some German Volume Traing, next, go back to 10-12 reps with 4 second negatives...stuff like that.

With all the cardio I'm gonna be doing from baseball and running on my own time, plus taking Leviathan Reloaded, I'm gonna be one shredded kid. I may actually have to bump up my calories becuase I'm not sure 2,500 is enough to start at.

get some cissus and take some fish oil heal up that knee!
Click to expand...

my knee is at about 90% right now. It is feeling great. So I have decided to do deadlifts. If I can find some money, I am going to be buying Cissus to make sure my knee heals along with some Xtend and some protein
 
j0sh710 said:
man i just took the bast nap lol how did u determine ur calories to start from when u cut?
Click to expand...

I took the amount of calories it takes to maintain my bodyweight, and subracted 500 calories. Problem is, there have been websites saying that I should eat 2,000 calories to maintain and others said 4,000 calories. So I am going in the middle and saying its about 3,000 calores and subracting 500 from that. It will end up more around 2,700 though after I add some more fruits and veggies.

Take some time off if you need to, knees aren't somthing to mess with.

Dont sweat the cals. Im eating like a fat ass down here in FL and hitting .455
Click to expand...

When baseball starts, i'll have taken 10 days off. My knees feel fine now, so anything else is just a bonus.

Congrats on the .455 so far. Thats decent i guess..:thumbsup:

I might bump it up a bit cuz I will be burning so many duirng baseball, Ive got nothing to worry about.
 
My cutting begins tommorow!

Instead of doing a chest workout, I'm going to be doing Chest speciation(sp?), a tip I picked up a few nights ago. I'm going to be doing one set of dips in the morning and one at night to failure everyday for 3 weeks.

In addition, I will stick to my planned routine and will not follow the "muscle confusion" idea.

I'm not sure how I'm going to be doing cardio this week. There is a crapload of snow outside, and I planned to run outside. Luckeily, I have baseball, so there will be some running.
 
make sure to take some fish oil mainly high in EPA's that will be great for your knee in helping your body repair it
