Wrasslin' MINI Log

Day 9-

HAD A GREAT workout this morning! Today was back, so that's what I did, this morning the whole time all I did was one GIANT pyramid of pulldowns, my back was so pumped I thought it was going to rip through my shirt.

Then to finish the workout, after school I headed up to the rec center, got about 25 minutes on the elliptical in at max HR, then did a giant pyramid of wide-grip cable pulldowns, and five sets of ten on the rowing machine and got a job well-done for the day, had to leave anyway because of my niece's choir concert an hour away, so that also meant no sauna! Should be going back up tomorrow though for legs.

Right now I'm still in disbelief at how fast I'm getting back into the swing of things, it's unreal to say the least, going to keep pushing myself to make each week a better record than the last though!

NOTE- Also, somehow I'm up 5lbs but yet on a low calorie diet and working out way beyond normal (didn't even get this many hours a day in last year), also the fat is literally just DROPPING off even with all the cheat days last week, also I believe that all my measurements are up, so everything is going great! I have before pics on hand, I will post them at the end of the log when I get after pics.
 
down and back? stairs? street?

Ugh, like from the starting point you sprint to the end, touch the end and sprint back to the beginning is best I can explain haha. Always had to do those in wrestling practice so I thought I'd start doing them in my sprint workouts.

like suicides?
 
I know the type of sprints your talking about now. What kind of distance though? Yes, I am a numbers person.
 
Day 10-

Got up this morning.......Took my Kre-Alk, BA, AAKG and Lipo-6 then hit the weights, this workout ended up being ALL squats for about 45 minutes, it was insane! Was putting up a weight I struggled with last year pretty easily, so I guess all these sprints and such are paying off! I just need to get my good-to-go from the doctor to go heavy upper body and don't have to wear my brace anymore, I want those lifts back up now!

Right now I'm about to head up to the rec and pound out some cardio, then hit up the steam room and sauna, I'm stoked!

The Scale-
Pumps- 10/10 (I've been pretty much pumped non-stop this past week no matter what, it's great)
Endurance- 11/10 (11 because it's so through the roof, I have to force myself to stop working out!)
Vascularity- 6/10 (It's coming back, I say 6/10 only because it doesn't show as much as it used to when not working out)
Aggression- 10/10 (Everytime I think about easy workouts or stopping workouts, it goes thru the roof from the thoughts of it....haha)
 
find you an old building at least 20 stories and climb stairs-best workout in the world. a true test of fitness.

Just climb them?
I have no idea where to find a twenty story building lol....but I'll find a decently high building and give it go just for the fun of it now that you said that :bigok:

if you are hardcore enough wear a pair of ankle weights, i wear 5 pounders on each ankle. climbing stairs is tougher than you think, i usually make it up and down 3 times on a 21 floor building. a young guy like you could go much farther but it is a great workout.

You got me real interested in this now man lol, when I head out to my mom's this weekend I'm going to probably try and find a BIG building to do this!

Yeah I know man, one of my top 3 cardio choices is bleachers! I do those all day during spring/summer/fall depending on the weather.

then you will love the stairs, remember you are working different set of muscles on the way down.
 
it builds muscle in legs so fast it actually changes your walk.

Yes I've noticed that...also small paced stairs or bleachers (walking pace) has helped my knee A LOT! After my 2nd accident this year I went from difficulty running to when I walk down stairs I have to grab the rail because my leg at the knee area would twitch uncontrollably in every direction.

Now that I've been working my legs a lot again I can walk fine on stairs again thank God.
 
Day 11-

Sorry for the lack of updates, been busy with school.

But day 11 was shoulders and I TORE THEM UP!!! Did pyramids of front raises in the morning along with 1 hand tri extensions, then after school finished it up with side lateral pyramids/shrugs/and tri-pushdowns.

I ended up starting my re-feed that day, so my workout was INTENSE! Was tossing around the 35's for around 10-12 reps with good form for side laterals again like I used to, now I have to get them back up to the 15+ range again.

Day 11-12

Day 11 no update because it was just a all re-feed day but I did see Blindside, and I DEFFINITLY recommend that movie! It was one of the greatest movies I've seen, that guy powered through so much! It's a truely inspirational movie.

Day 12 (today) was a full-body strength/power workout, 5x5-3x5 for everything. Major lifts for each bodypart (Bench/Deadlift/Military press etc.), great workout!!

Also have some new supps coming in the mail.. Always wanted to try out Guggul so I ordered a bottle of it and will be experimenting a bit with that when it comes in, I'm stoked.
 
Great log bro! I see your liking the Vat Attack:D, the stuff rocks, I dropped lots of body fat with that stuff. Keep up the good work!

stairs is what helped me rehab my knee and regain muscle in the legs. having strong legs helps take pressure of knees-brologic i know, but it seems to work for me.
 
Day 12 Update

Can't believe I forgot to mention this earlier....BUT,
I deadlifted today for the first time since early November last year, and I got 275 with NO wrist brace, NO straps, and no belt! I'm still in shock that I did that!

This is making me think about going back to doing dead's hardcore again for powerlifting.

good numbers for a guy your size!

Haha that's weak for me though! Last year after deadlifting not even a month I went from 225x5 to 345x5! And in 7th grade when I first started lifting and weighed 105 by the end of track season I was squatting 315x3. My legs are my strongest bodypart.

you must have some damn good genetics, lol. better give mom and dad a big hug.:bigok:
 
Day 13

Was a rest day....ended up having a nice homecooked dinner with my friend and his family, had some deer, green beans, corn, cheese potatoes and bread, it was great!

Day 14

Ok, so last night I woke up at about 3AM throwing up, barely made it to the toilet. I don't know what it was from, and now I've been home sick all day.

I am about to try and get a workout in though as I'm feeling a little bit better, so we'll see how this goes!

hope you are feeling better.
 
Day 14 Update

So, just got done with my workout and it was INTENSE! What ended up making me decide to workout in the first place was people running their mouth....and there's nothing I can do about it at the moment so decided to workout!

I'm doing some-what of a routine now, my reps are set for each week but workout schedule is still the same and lifts are still instinctive. The workout I modified from is C.A.M.P (Cycling Activates Muscle Production), which is made from Dr. Michael Camp.

The reps vary each week here is the list:
Week 1- 3-5 reps
Week 2- 15-25 reps
Week 3- 6-8 reps
Week 4- Supersets/Dropsets
Then it repeats.

So I had a very powerful chest workout today (well powerful for a still somewhat broken wrist) and I followed it up with some jump roping....Later on tonight is back delts and more cardio which will be either sprints or jump rope, maybe both!

Also, my order of Guggulsterone came in today and I will begin dosing that tomorrow or a little bit today. Dose will be 2 caps 3x daily.
 
Thanks bro, I think I am pretty much better now :bigok:
I think I just got mild food poisoning from Taco Bell during my refeed this weekend..

hahaha, tb strikes again. glad you are better.:bigok:
 
Day 15

Workout this morning went hard like Kimbo Slice! For 45 minutes all I did was different forms of pull ups (Wide/Normal/Close) at 5 reps each, if needed they were weighted. Workout was INTENSE! Had the most incredible back pump and focus/mind muscle connection this morning.

Then tonight I finished it up with a good 30 minutes of JUST barbell and dbell shrugs at 3-5 reps each set and also did some wide-grip rows. That workout though made me sick and nausious near the end....guess the food poisoning hasn't gone completely away yet!

But overall....GREAT day, also when my supp order came in a I got a TON of free samples so I had some Lipo-6x this morning and it was tank to say the least, tomorrow prior to my deadlift workout I'm trying out some samples of T-911 I got.

More updates coming tomorrow.
 
Day 16

Well todays workout went pretty well, morning was a kind of normal workout. Did leg extensions supersetted with calf raises 5 reps each for the whole hour before school.

BUT, after school when I hit up the deadlifts was insane! Took a sample of T-911 before and WOW! I'm not sure how many sets I did...but it was a lot and for the last 3 sets I was deadlifting 245 for 5 reps each time, which is VERY low for me but then again got to put all my injuries that I'm currently working on into consideration. After that I moved on to some more calf raises to finish up, overall it was a great workout with LOTS of aggression!

Also while I was up there I was talking to the track coach and starting after Christmas break I'm going to join our schools indoor track team, which my events in that will be polevault, shot-put and discus. Polevault used to be something I was untouchable in back in middle school so hopefully I get used to it again FAST.
 
Question for ya. Why are you supplementing the guggls? I'm afraid I missed that one.

Also, polevault you say? Allison Stokke anyone? :thumbsup:

I was always interested in it's metabolism boosting effects so I thought I'd give it a try haha.

And yeah polevault, don't diss!! Lol.
 
Day 17

Hit up some shoulders this morning, did a bunch of front and side laterals until' my shoulder messed with me too much, but I lasted the whole workout. Also started my carb up early today, so that it should be done tomorrow night and I'll start my carb up next week on Christmas so now there should be some good time between this carb up and next.

he wasn't dissing, allison stokke is very, very, hot!:sasmokin:
 
Day 18

Carb up was great the past few days....Shoved down lots of good but very unhealthy food....Haha, and from what my scale says I'm back up to around the 150 range again, now what's better than seeing my around that weight again? It's all LEAN! From the looks in the mirror I'm just plain FULL muscle-wise and had little to NO fat gain, if anything I'm just holding water! That's what I'm hoping anyway haha.

Day 19 (Today)

About to head up to the Y right now....Going to do the 'Wrasslin' balls to the wall Go Hard' workout. I'm not sure what it will be yet....but I'm going to do my basic warm up cardio, then some bi's and tri's then head to super-setting of bi's/tri's with some crazy forms of cardio, the goal of todays workout will be to see how far I can push myself so we'll see how this goes, update coming soon!
 
The Update

So, no workout today. I got even better news!
I FINALLY grew a pair of balls and decided to toss my smoking habit. This is going to be really hard...But I'm going to do it. The last cig I had is what made it official, I've been wanting and trying to quit for the past couple weeks but nothing happened, today when I had one after being pissed off I just started throwing up everywhere and it crippled me to where I can't workout today....So I'm done, that was the last draw.

Will keep posted on progress....Next 3 days will be the hardest, after that I should have no problem. I've done it before, I can do it again.
 
Good luck man, get some toothpicks or gum if you need something to chew on.
 
Thanks bros, this is one of the hardest things I've done haha....Getting LOTS of gum, tooth picks, and drinks like Diet Green Tea tomorrow.

I'm going to see this thru.
 
Ok,

So I decided to change my workout diet/workout plans again as I'm slowly starting to make things more and more set as I get back into my old athletic ways.

The diet
Monday-Mid Friday:
Protein- 200-250g Fat- 25-50g Carb- <10g (Only from vegi sources)
Mid Friday-Saturday:
Protein- 250g+ Fat- Low as possible Carbs- 600-1000g
Sunday:
Protein- 250g Fat- Only non-primary sources Carb- Only non-primary

The Details:
Monday-Fridays workout will be NO carbs as far as I'm concerned besides the carbs that come with my carrots/broccoli/or green beans. Reasoning is I have grown into a STRONG disliking for carbs which if any of you have followed my past logs will know that this is the COMPLETE opposite of my old ways where carbs was my holy grail. I don't know exactly what happened, but when I got out of rehab and couldn't even manage half a small milkshake, I started doing protein and fats only as it didn't fill me up, and when I tried to introduce carbs back into my diet all it did was cause my energy levels to roller coaster along with my moods, also now that I've actually took notice to how my body reacts to fats, I have had the BEST recovery, energy, and moods in my life. I can't even stand my refeed days because of the above stated with carbs plus the fact of holding water etc. So I am only having my refeeds to mainly help me feel like a normal person somewhat, and also for the fact of it shocking my body. Also my refeeds are now going to be CLEAN except my first meal post-workout which will be a trip to Cici's/Burger King/or Taco Bell haha. Other than that, the rest will be good clean food that won't make me sick such as breads/pasta/spaghetti/rice etc. but flavored how I like it since it will be my refeed!
Also my fats are being raised from a max of 25g each day to 25g minimum and aiming towards 50g each day to see how it goes, also I think I'll be needing the extra cals with Indoor Track starting after break and also my balls-walls sessions I'll be doing (morning weights/practice or cardio after school/nightime weights and cardio) each day.
As for Friday and Sunday, only food consumed will be protein and vegi's with the purpose of getting fully depleted Friday and also getting back into Keto Sunday.

The Workouts-
Monday- Chest/Cardio (Morning)/Track or mild cardio (Afternoon)/Rear delts/Finish chest(Night)
Tuesday- Back/Cardio (Morning)/Track or mild cardio(Noon)/Traps and remainder of back(Night)
Wedsday- Legs/Cardio(Morning)/Track or nothing(Noon)/Calfs and remainder of legs(Night)
Thursday- Shoulders/Cardio)/Track or mild cardio(Noon)/Traps and remainder shoulders (Night)
Friday- Biceps/Triceps(Morning)/Track and finish Bi's/Tri's(Noon)
Saturday- ALL deadlift workout in A.M. before continuing refeed
Sunday- OFF or mild cardio session in the A.M. or P.M.

Rep Ranges:
Week 1- 3-5 reps
Week 2- 15-25 reps
Week 3- 6-8 reps
And keep repeating, reps are the only guidlines I follow as far as my workouts.

The Details:
My workouts are well BEYOND unorphadox, tell me I'm overtraining, that is your own opinion. I have found over the years a regular hour-hour and a half workout plus hour of cardio a day is too easy, my body recovers to easily for regular low-volume and moderate pace type cardio. Plus I'm not primarily focusing on size, it's more of 'Man Muscle' in Gym Jones words. The weights could be drop-sets, supersets, triple sets, circuits, etc. The cardio could be anywhere from a run/sprints/jump rope/burpees etc, etc, and mixes of them all. The next few weeks will be what I'm calling 'Go Hard' workouts which the only point of them is to see how far I can push myself physicly and mentaly so I'm looking forward to see how this goes!
 
I don't want to sound like a stick in the mud, but why keep the fats so low Monday through Friday? Why not throw it up to 100-150g and drop the protein down to 150 or so?. You'll get to eat walnuts/almonds/peanuts all day!
