Definitely a great workout!
Just a quick question. How many years of serious training has it taken you to get to this point?
Definitely a great workout!
John or me.....
I've been training for roughly eight years. Came from a high level sports background in volleyball and soccer.
Myself training for eight years started when I was about 21 exactly. I played various sports growing up I played just about all sports from a kid until I was 20, some on teams some not.
The biggest sport next to bodybuilding that I gave the most dedication and was the most serious about was skateboarding which I did for a few years consistently and had a good many injuries dislocated kneecap,scars from falling all the time, a fractured/broken ankle I snapped. In any sports that is taking seriously there is some risk involved,some sports more so than others.
March 19th 2010 Quadriceps, Hamstrings.
I decided to separate calves to a separate day to give them full priority and will do this twice per week and also at times do the cardio calve routine.
Quads and Hams are a pretty strong point for myself so I can afford to not put as much intensity in them as I do say weak bodyparts
Leg extensions
100lbs=15x's
Leg press
6 plates per side=10x's
Stiff leg deadlift
225=9x's
Tuesday March 23nd
Did a cycling class (also think they are called spinner classes) for forty five minutes,pushed it hard exhausted me so much. went to sleep early because I simply was so worn out.
Wednesday March 24th 2010 Chest Shoulders Triceps
doing only one set on each exercise. still in a light training phase a few body parts I feel need to be bought up I put some intensity into them like the Incline Barbell
Thuresday March 25th 2010
Donkey calves raises(smith machine setup)
285=8x's
seated calve raises
45+25=8x's
Cardio calves 20 minutes
cycling class(did not push it this time) 25 minutes
Friday March 26th 2010 Quads and Hams
Hack squat (just starting these getting ready to use them coming up)
185=12, 225=12 very easy stop it short probably could have done 20 or more at 225
Incline glute ham raise
35lbs=10x's
35lbs=10x's
I'll be starting my contest preparation next week for the July 10th Nga Alabama show. If I decide mid though that I am canceling it out and decide to do the NGA Nashville show in November Ill post it in this log.
Next week I'll still be training lighter than the week after that intensity goes up.
Some of the ladies that do that class on a regular basis are to hot to concentrate on spinning LOL.
Very detailed plan. Impressive the thought and planning you have put in.
Keep at it John, you make all of us proud.

Have you seen the the vids he provides awesome stuff.![]()
Mike yourself, Don and the whole Anabolic Innovations team have given us sponsored athletes a chance and speaking for myself I can only hope I can do my best for Anabolic Innovations. Your support means a lot.
I heard there was going to be a "Love in" hidden in a random thread. I found it! I found it!
I agree completely, Much Love to Anabolic Innovations for working with us and being so actively involved in our threads and what not as well!
Heck yea! You are right they are amazing.
Totally agree with you on that, John!!!

March 30th 2010 Biceps, forearms, back
Seated dumbbell preacher curl
35lbs=13x's (3 rest pauses)
e-z bar preacher 65=7x's
one arm reserse curl
35lbs=10x's
these numbers look wimpy I bet my negative is over five seconds on the two above exercises.
nautilus pullover machine
170- I went all out and got it but I relized I could get the handle down to my stomach but could not completely hold it and squeeze so i reduce weight to
150-6-6
Under grip barbell row(Yates way) last weeks video was not a good example I was pulling to my belly button. This time I pulled to mywaist where my legs and torso meets(lower than belly button) and moved more weight, held the contractation , slightly arches back and it feels so good to work those lower lats.I have been doing it all wrong (at least not fully activating lower lats)
225=10x's easy
275=4 or 5 times with 2-3 3/4 1/2 partials
John put's out a very good log that many people can learn from.![]()
just ordered glycobol, thanks to some very good recommendations.
dude, good luck july 10! i'm hanging on every word here
If you have any questions I'll do my best. Some of us dose a bit different but the name of the game is finding out how it works for you. I have done a lot of research since 2004 on r-ala as I used to buy it and use it because it worked very well for myself.
R-alpha-lipoic acid is the form of lipoic acid produced naturally by the body and the only one which acts as a mitochondrial enzyme cofactor.
Sodium R-lipoate, a sodium salt of R-alpha-lipoic acid, has much greater bioavailability than R-alpha-lipoic acid. It rapidly produces blood levels 10 to 30 times higher than is possible with pure R-alpha-lipoic acid. More stable and more easily soluble in the aqueous phase, it is much more easily absorbed.
so in my opinion it is powerful stuff and if any one needs any advice on this like a dosing protocol pm me and I'll be happy to recommend what works for myself.
Tuesday March 31st 2010 2 cardio sessions
30 minutes first thing upon awaking
Eight hours later
40 minutes
Wednesday Legs
(woke up feeling tired. I may have overdid it as I went low calorie for myself plus the two cardio sessions)
Donkey Calve raises
285=10x's
seated calve
45+25=4 full reps 2 3/4-1/2 reps Last week I got 8 on these I do not understand maybe it was the cardio
Smith front squat(Usually quads and hams are a bit higher rep but the bar cuts off breathing so I do them lower rep)
205=7
205=5
Incline-glute ham raises
35lbs=10
45lbs=10
So true and I can think of no one better to learn from.![]()
Great stuff John, pulling those Dorians to the hips makes a huge difference in contraction and lower lat involvement doesn't it. Great workout too. Love slow reps. GOing with slow reps for next workout but not sure what I am going to. I have all weekend to figure it out before I lift again. Dang tendonitis messing with my game!
i generally do double overhand on my Yates....but i often dont hold the squeeze. Need to work on that.Under grip barbell row(Yates way) last weeks video was not a good example I was pulling to my belly button. This time I pulled to mywaist where my legs and torso meets(lower than belly button) and moved more weight, held the contractation , slightly arches back and it feels so good to work those lower lats.I have been doing it all wrong (at least not fully activating lower lats)
225=10x's easy
275=4 or 5 times with 2-3 3/4 1/2 partials
Thanks Don, your the man.
I got an X-ray last week and getting an MRI Monday. I am in the same boat you are Chris, right outer elbow. Anytime I do extension type movements it aches so got to work around it.
I plan on training around it as of now because it is not too bad.Icing it seems to help a bit and maybe friction massage so that temporarily helps it. Moreover, to really heal it up I probably need to take a month off of training and do whatever needs to be done to get it healed.
April 2nd 2010 Cheest shoulders triceps
Low Incline Dumbbell press 85lbs-7x's
Nautilus Incline pec Dec(Dante technique)-120lbs=8x's (2 partials)

Triceps dips
16x's
overhead cable extension
90lbs=10x's
Sorry to hear about the injury John.
Injuries sooner or later happens to any person pushing there body physically like we do.
This one is minor and have had much more major ones. I can still do stuff like dips, presses, push downs one arm reverse.
I expect to get it well since I am taking care of it early with a very good specialist covered by my insurance.
I always recommend if a person is having minor pain give it a bit to heal up and if it does not heal up get it taken care of. and no matter what do not do any movement that makes it ache.
Saturday April 3nd 2010

sunday April 4th 2010 off
Monday April 5th Biceps, forearms, back
Standing barbell curl
85lbs=16x's(3 rest pauses)
preacher e-z bar curl 65lbs= (75 lbs if the bar weighs 25 but after eight years of lifting I thought the bar weighs 15 lbs)
one arm reverse cable curl 35lbs=10x's
assisted underhand chinup station
60lbs=12-15x's( 3 rest pauses)
Rack deadlift (starting point top of shins)
350lbs=10 x's I could have got 12 but I learned that upper back is a genetically strong body part and while it is fun to train stuff I am strong at I would rather back off it a bit and super-train my body parts that are playing catch-up) so I did not train all out to failure.
I use the training to failure on "weak" body parts.
April 6th 2010 Calves, hamstrings, Quadriceps
Donkey calve raises
295=10x's ( 2 partials)
Seated calve 45 +25=10x's
Leg press
6 plates per side=10x's (again had more but did not go to complete failure)spotter just in case I passed out, went down far
5 plates=12
Lying Leg curl(+3 a technique learn t from the Dc inventor Dante)
110=19(3 rest pauses)
everything is going smoothly the scale is going downward which I am trying to do. Strength and aggression in the gym seem to be higher than it has been in a while because I started the swole stack on Monday and I truly believe this is what is causing it. Which is why i am focusing in on the swole stack Invalid Link Removed
I am still keeping my numbers and such on here.
I am still taking the same amount of supplements the last time I posted on supplements minus creatine, cut that out last week (currently cycling creatine)plus testopro and added in scivation sesamin.
