Steph and I gave a seminar for figure competitors today and then went to crush legs! I popped some ZAP and was off to set some more PRs. Totally crushed the hack squats today. Hit PRs on all sets (5 plates each side ATG feet close x 16 and hit 6 plates for the first time). Moved on to leg press superset barbell squats, seated leg curls superset hammer squat machine wide and deep, smith lunges, leg extensions superset laying leg curl, inner and outer thigh, and straight leg ups. Great workout. It is now Monday and my legs are wrecked!

Steph and I hit Chest and Back to day. It was INSANELY hot in the gym and I was having a very hard time breathing....I like to train in layers but had to strip down to only a thin t-shirt it was so hot in there. I was complete drenched. It was a great workout and I had a very good pump. My strength was also good. Flat barbell bench, t-bar rows, incline hammer press, hammer pulldowns, seated free motion flys superset free motion pulldowns, dumbbell shrugs, and side serratus abs.

Left work early today to test drive cars. Everything I have driven/read about I like. It will make the decision hard.
Today we hit arms and calves. Once again I was sweating like a champ. Not sure why. The only change recently is that I upped my AP and PSLIN (and I also popped 2g of tyrosine before my workout). Everything felt light tonight. Straight bar pushdown (PR), dumbbell supinate curls (worked up to the 100s), ez curl skullcrushers (PR - plate and a quarter each side for 10 good reps), slow incline hammer curls, one arm overhead dumbbells, preacher curl machine superset reverse ez curls, seated calves (PR), free motion toe presses, and rope cable abs.

Really good one tonight! Steph and I hit Hams and Calves hard. Started with SLDL and I hit a PR of 405x15 and 435x8. We then did seated leg curls, really wide and slow smith squats butt all the way in the hole (worked up to 365), laying leg curl, butt blaster, toe press machine superset standing calves, weighted ab roller machine. I felt very full and strong today. We're heading out of town for the weekend (company retreat at Nemacolin, PA). Should be nice to get away. We will hit up some different gyms on the trip.
Small delay in Core ZAP. It should ship next Tuesday.

Awesome workout tonight. Felt really strong on everything. The gym was super crowded tonight but Steph and I were focused and really crushed it. We got interrupted multiple times by some dingleberries but just kept on pushing forward. Barbell squats (405x10 deep reps - PR this year, I may have done more before when I was heavier; worked up to 445 drop to 315); Deep plate loaded squat machine superset ATG feet close hack squats, leg press machine superset glute ham hyperextensions, laying leg curls, walking dumbell lunges (I was drenched at this point but was able to get 100sx10 steps each leg), and straight leg raises. Felt really strong and full tonight.
With the increased AP and Pslin my weight has been steadily climbing and I feel like I am also getting tighter. I upped my carbs and dropped my protein also.

Really awesome workout tonight. I felt large (which is unusual for me) tonight. This guy came up to me tonight and asked me how long I have been working out and how long it took "to get that big." I told him 3 weeks with a straight face LOL you should have seen the look on his face ha. I also noticed Steph looked more muscular than usual. We have been making good gains training together recently so I hope it continues.
Flat dumbbell bench (PR 130x12 and 140x7), cable upright row, close grip lat pulldown, incline leverage press (PR), machine military, neutral grip pulldown machine, fly machine, weight side abs.
Off to the beach for 5 days so I will talk to you'll when I return.

Love crushing the legs. Started with Hack squats and set a PR (5 plates each side x 19). I then moved on to leg press superset barbell squats (legs fried by now), seated leg curls (PR) superset leg extensions, plate loaded squat machine superset one leg standing leg curl, one leg smith split squats (PR), inner and outer thigh, and v-situps. Great day!!! ZAP in effect!!! I find stacking the ZAP with an NO preworkout supplement is just insane! I love it!

(drool! drool!) YEAH! Can't wait to check this out Doug!
Nice leg day.. Saw your thoughts on feet/knees together machine squats being the best quad developer iyo..
Does using barbell squat w/ that method produce same effects? Tried this the other day, position a bit awkward & used lighter weights, but I can see myself getting used to these & being able to add some incremental weights.. was a good burn for sure!

I don't do barbell squats with feet close. Its too awkward. I do hack squats and smith squats with feet close.

What is your positioning when doing smith squats? Do you lean back on the bar or do you position the bar on your back like you are doing regular squats? I hope that makes sense!

Had a soso workout tonight. My elbows have been really sore and my left shoulder/pec tie-in has been irritated so I just didn't have it all in me tonight. Tried to focus on squeezing and holding more than anything. Flat dumbbell press, incline hammer press, incline machine (very slow negatives with squeeze), cable flys (squeeze), decline hammer press (holds at top), lower ab raises. First soso workout in a while...my mind was a little elsewhere as my three different jobs were weighing heavily on my mind tonight. I hate that! No ZAP tonight.

I then did 425 x 18. We then moved on to t-bars and I pulled 405x11 and tried 415 for the first time. Then we went to slow squeeze barbell rows, high hammer rows (felt strong but was really winded at this point), free motion lat pulldown superset with a couple of sets of rear delt pec deck, and side serratus abs.

Friday June 13, 2008 - Off
Off day today but we spent 10 hours on our feet today. Steph and I were in Florida at the Vitamin Shoppe Management Conference promoting USP Labs products. Although I am the owner of Core Nutritionals, we truly believe in USP Labs products and the direction this company is going. They are one of the truly great supplement companies in this industry and Steph and I will continue to promote their products! Jon and Jacob at USP Labs are class acts! Although I expected Jacob to be a bit more scrappy; he is a tall/big dude LOL.

Steph and I absolutely crushed it today! I found an awesome new preworkout protocol. Core ZAP about 1 hour 15 mins preworkout, 100+ grams of carbs + 1 AP + 1 pslin one hour preworkout, and then 2-3 scoops of Core ABC + 5 g creatine about 15-30 minutes preworkout. Our intensity was through the roof today and we had a great food pump!!! ATG Hack squats feet close (PR 5 plates each side x20), walking dumbell lunges (got up to 120s), laying leg curls, barbell squats, leg press superset leg extensions, straight leg ups! Absolutely awesome day today!

Another great workout with Steph. We crushed it once again! Flat dumbbell press (130x12, 140x9 light spot on 2, 150x6 light spot on 3....elbows and shoulder felt better on these today and I felt very strong), wide hammer pulldown, cable upright row, one arm incline hammer press, close grip lat pulldown (stack plus 2x45s), barbell military, flat fly machine, weighted ab machine.
