Wrasslin's Recomp (Unsponsored)

Ok, so I'm still undecided about entering the competition.
BUT, since it's so close I'm going to do a recomp leaning more towards a cut so if I do decide to enter I'll be close enough to competition condition I'll only need around a week to be 100% ready.
 
Day 15

Cardio- Great as usual, I look forward to it every morning now.

New workout was intense.. decided to put shoulders in with back and chest.
So it went-
15 min on bike for warm up (going to start this everyday)
Bench/pull up/front laterals 12/12/10/8/8
Incline/close grip pull up/side laterals 12/12/10/8/8
Decline/1 arm rows/rear laterals 12/12/10/8/8

So.. Tri-sets are killer. I wanted to die by the end of the workout, it was great.
I got a sample of iSatori's Morph in the mail today so I'll be taking that pre-workout tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.
 
Day 16

Cardio- Great session, ran out of BA yesterday so today was my first day without it and did just fine so that's good.

Workout was GREAT, insane pumps and vascularity.
Went like this-
Close grip EZ curl 15/12/10/8/6 supersetted with dbell kickbacks 15/15/15/15/15
EZ reverse curls/1 arm tri extensions 12/12/10/8/6
EZ outer grip 21's(5 sets)/tri push ups 25/25/25/25/25

Like I said, amazing workout and I had a Morph sample from iSatori before and I'll say it wasn't all that bad.

Oh yeah, and my AP came in today, going to start it tomorrow.
 
whats in incline/close grip pullup?

Sorry if I missed it, but how do you plan on dosing Anabolic Pump?

Latley I have been Pre-WO and Dinner..Any thoughts?

That should be good.
I'm going to be doing it with breakfast and lunch (which is my pre-wo meal)
Depending on how things go I might add it in post-wo.
I stopped doing carbs post-wo again because like I said before, started gaining fat and wasn't seeing any added recovery or growth so backed off that again.

I like that set-up as well. Suprising you gained fat though. What type of body do you think you have? A mesmo-endo? lol

Yeah meso-endo I think.
Depending on my activity level depends on what it leans towards I guess haha.
Like say during spring/summer/fall when I'm constantly moving around and only sit down when it's school and I go to sleep, I can get away with 50-100g carbs post workout and more later in the day if I want sometimes and stay lean as I am now.
Then winter comes along and the only time I'm up and about is cardio and weights. I HATE winter.

Maybe I should limit my carbs also, maybe to pre-workout and middle of the day then.
 
Yeah, I have a WHOLE reasoning thing behind how I do my carbs..
I figure since their used for energy, you only need them around the time you will need energy (example, working out) so right after cardio in the morning since you already would really want carbs then, the cardio makes it even more necassary, then lunch (pre-workout) is used to fuel the exercise, now the way I see it after a workout since you had the carb meal before your insulin levels, blood flow etc. are high enough where you don't need carbs to shuttle anything and I see it as pointless to eat something for energy when I'm going to be laying around doing nothing the rest of the day and it get stored as fat.

I could be completely wrong.. but that's just my opinion and what works for me.
 
I understand your logic; I felt this way for years.
But there's more to it than that. True muscle growth & recovery requires carbs, period.
What needs to be changed in your line of logic is: the type of carb consumed following training. You don't necessarily need those immediate-energy (i.e. high-glycemic) carbs. But low-impact carbs, even oats, are very instrumental in this timeframe.
Think of it like this: your body, being in the anabolic state that is in following training, will absorb that protein lightning-fast.. What happens then? What does the body use for recovery/repair once it's burned thru those proteins in about an hr, when your not eating again for another 2hrs?
A slow-digesting carb can sustain this repair & growth..

Yeah I get what your saying and I completely agree.
During spring and summer I always switch up between fast and slow carbs post-wo.
I just don't know.. I'm going to move somewhere where it's warm all year and I don't have to go thru this haha.
Since I have the AP in now I'll probably add in those carbs in my post-wo meal again.
We'll see how things go the rest of the week 1st though.
 
Well you odviously understand how your body reacts to carbs, so have fun with Anabolic Pump! I just cracked open another bottle of AP, as a matter of fact.Soon I'll be taking 3/day though.

What type of tri-sets will you do for legs?
 
Day 17

Cardio- Session was 10/10 as usual, loving the Meltdown/Vit B12 combo pre-workout, it's great. I took my AP 30 minutes into it so when I was done I could eat right away.

Workout was great, could barely walk at the end.
Went like this-
squat/leg curl 12/12/12/12/12
Leg extensions/individual leg curl 20/20/18/18/16
Calf raises 30/25/20/20/20

As I said, GREAT workout.
And this is probably placebo.. but I swear the AP is giving me pumps already.
 
Day 18

No cardio this morning.. not going to again until' Monday.
Also dropping all fat burners etc except for my vitamins to give the body a shock when I go full swing Monday for the prep.

Workout went like-
flat flyes/wide grip pull ups (palms face forward)/military press 12/12/12/10/8
Incline flyes/bbar rows/side laterals 12/12/12/12/12

Stopped there.. I also decided besides legs I'm going to keep volume how it's been also untill Monday.
 
Yes show prep.. haha you need to pay attention!
I decided that I'm going to do a prep regardless if I do the Mr. Ohio or not, so that if I decide to then I'm already there condition wise, if not I do everything I would do for a show but without entering one and see how my body reacts to carb loading etc. on the last day.
 
Took this pic when I woke up this morning.. last pic until I'm a few weeks in, don't want to post one again until I can show some real progress.

Oh yeah, also took measurements today when I woke up.. My arms were smaller than I thought :sad: I think they look bigger than they are because I'm so short.
Arms- 15
Chest- 40
Waist- 30
Legs- 25
 
I think you're lying 'bout that 30" waist.. :lol:

No lie, I was in shock when I saw it was that small haha.
Yeah supersetting, ever since I started supersetting I doubt I'll stop, it would feel weird not to I love it.
 
Ok, just got sponsored to run Blast, so when that gets here I'm going to make a new log, which will go on untill I'm done with contest prep.
 
Day 23

Cardio- Great as usual, pile of sweat again haha.

Lifting went great, good pumps and vascularity.
Went like this-
Wide grip EZ curl/tri push downs/front laterals 15/12/12/12/12
EZ reverse curl/1 arm tri push downs/side laterals 12/12/12/12/12
Close grip EZ 21's/1 arm tri push out(I think it's called)/rear laterals 12/12/12/12/12

Day 24

Cardio- Great, looking leaner by the day.

Workout was good, like having a whole day just to legs.
Went like this-
Smith machine squats(HATE those)/leg curls 12/12/10/10/8
Leg extensions/lunges 20/20/20/15/15
Calf raises 30/30/30/30/30 (don't have enough weight thats why so many reps)
 
Ok so I went off my diet a little bit today.. not really in a bad way, after my workout I went out and didn't get to eat from 3:15-8:45 when I got home (no healthy food there) soo I decided to make up for it by instead of having just turkey slices for dinner, I had 3 turkey sandwiches on 12 grain bread :food:

Actually think it was a good thing to do, feeling very pumped and good right now.. soo we'll just have to see tomorrow.
 
Oh I know that was bad.. mixed up some PW and sipped it the whole time so it wasn't as horrifying as it sounds.. haha.
 
Oh yeah Snag, got a question..
Thinking about throwing shoulders in on leg day again as I don't like doing them on different days.
I was thinking fasted leg workout in the morning and shoulders in the afternoon.
So would I just treat it like a normal workout? Say..
Wake up, supps, workout, AP, meal?
 
Ok good news, I'm feeling ALOT better today so tomorrow I'm going to start with the updates again.
And also, for lots of reasons, I decided to give the UD 2.0 a go again.. I started thinking and realized there were a couple things I could have been doing wrong the last time I did it which could have been the reason it didn't work for me, so with that and Mr. Ohio in mind, I'm going to give it a go again.

Note: Wrestling season needs to get over so I can go back to the schools weight room! I want to do some real deads again! The last week I was in wrestling this year I got 330 twice.. I was soooooo close to getting double my bodyweight (340). When I'm done with this diet and get back in our weight room my goal by the end of the year will be ATLEAST 350+ deads.

Haha my origanal goal was 405 by the end of the year, at the rate I was going (5-10 pounds up every week) it seemed very possible.
Then the coach said I couldn't use the weight room til' wrestlings over so we'll just have to see!
