No worries and you're welcome :)

Back on track - I am there as well now. Finally!

~Rosie~
 
After my b-day HUGE eating rampage (PIC) i ended up gaining several lbs of fat/water but i went back to my macros on monday and now i am feeling that i am back to were i was before...Still 2-3 months away before starting my real diet so im ok as far as my goal is concerned... my goal is to start my diet as lean as i can in order to experiment and see if it makes a difference as far as muscle retention, Strenght and they way i feel during my prep.

On the other hand, I had a great Workout Yesterday...I trained my arms and delts and sice my front delt was a little sore i decided to change things up a little and this is what i did:

1. Rear Delt machine 3 sets x 15
2. Rear Delt Cable (inclined) 3 sets x 15
3. Side LAteral Raises (incline bench) - 3 sets
4. Heavy DB Lateral Swings - 3 sets
5. Overhead DB PRess - 3 sets
6. Side Lateral MAchine 3 sets
7. REar delt with Dbs - 3 sets

Basically what i did was to start with the rear delt, then moving on to the side and ending with the front and back. I have never done this split before but i like the fact that my rear and side delts got more volume/work (double) than the front that is more developed and yesterdat was pretty sore from my presses.

As far as bis and tris i hit them hard but i did my typical workout 4 exe each with lighther weights and lots of reps to increase the TUT.


Finally a pic from my b-day celebration...Im sure i had at least 5000 cals - Well I cant do this everyday so i enjoyed to the max ;)

Legs Tonight

I was pretty tired from work and my lower back was really sore so squating or deadlifting was out of the question...I decided to hit my legs hard with leg press only. I did a workout that i did back in 09 called the century leg press workout or something like that. To make the story short you have to start with 1plate per side and hit 10 reps and then add another plate per side and increase 10 more reps...then another plate and 10 more reps...in paper looks simple but i was about to pass out during my last set. This is what i managed to do:

Leg press
1 plate per side x 10
2 plates per side x 20
3 plates per side x 30
4 plates per side x 40
5 plates per side x 50
6 plates per side x 60
7 plates per side x 30....my legs were about to explode and i had to stop..maybe next time i try to hit 70 but seems imposible LOL!

Leg curls
180 x 30 reps
180 x 30 reps
180 x 30 reps

Leg Extensions
3 sets x 30 reps (dont remember what weight i used...;(

Standing Calf Raises + Seated Calf Raises superset
3 sets x 15 x 15

Cardio x 25 minutes
 
I really like that modification you did to the century leg press. I find things like that really help keep training "fun" on some days I'm dragging.
 
And awesome job by the way. If I'm reading that right you had 6 plates on each side and did a set of 60 reps? That's insane!
 
Its been a long week for me...but its almost done! ;)

Today I decided to change things up a little with lots of supersets..

Chest/Back

1. HS High Rows + pull ups
4 sets x 10 x 10

2. HS Low Rows + pull ups
4 sets x 10 x 10

3. Pull ups + Straight arm pull downs
4 sets x 10 x 10

4. Flat DB press
5 sets x 10 reps

5. HS press (upper chest) + Push ups
4 sets x 10 x 10

6. Dips + Cable flyes
4 sets x 10 x 10

Im so tired today...but its time to keep moving foward
 
I want to talk today about digestion.... Are you absorving what you eat???

I’m sure that most of us meat heads are eating the rightamount of macros (prots/fats/carbs) to build more muscle…a perfect dietright!!…however let me ask you this…Are you sure that you are absorbing properlywhat you are eating? Well if you are having symptoms like bloating, gas, orother uncomfortable symptoms the answer is probably…No!

If you are in offseason trying to gain mass and eatinglots of calories but you are having digestive issues you are wasting yourmoney, your time and I’m sure that you are stressing your digestive system. Ihave experienced this before…back in 2008 (offseason) I was trying to gainmuscle so I was eating lots and lots of calories and I started to feel all the symptomsthat I described above…however I was stubborn and I had the mentality “no painno gain”…so I work thru it but I made my life miserable for several months….atthe end I reached a bodyweight of 230 lbs but when it was time to get back tocontest shape I ended up weighting the same…the moral of the story is that nomatter how hard you try, how many cals you take or how much pain you cantolerate because if your digestive systemis not working properly you are walking in circles.

After that I became a big fan of DIGESTIVE ENZYMES andPROBIOTICS. They work in both the stomach and intestinal environments, Alsothey help the body to break down fats,proteins and carbs….in addition They are very inexpensive so I have been taking3 pills everyday with my main solid meals. Simple things like this can make abig difference overtime…because at the end it doesn’t matter what you eat if youcan absorb it right!

Also GENOMYX has a great product Called Gut Health… thelatest in probiotic technology. Containing a specialized force of complementaryprobiotic strains, it also helps contribute to optimized nutrientabsorption, protection against foodborne/environmental pathogens, prevention ofbowel irritation/inflammation etc….It is also very affordable so i'll be taking this from now on...... When it comes to supplements I like to keep thing simple..Albert Einstein said "When the solution is simple, God is answering" So i dont waste my money on the next NO-Cr@p or the supp that promise to make you gain 10lbs of muscle..just keep things simple, cover the basics and make your your body is running smoothly and time will take care of the rest

Keep training hard and smart
 
Your post is so true. Years back when I first got serious into training I thought the new fad supplement was going to be the answer. I spent so much time looking into supplements, when honestly I should have been reading about diets. About 5 years back I was given some good direction regarding priorities, and I have not looked back. Sticking to the basics has changed my entire lifestyle as well as my approach to fitness. It has made all the difference in the world in my opinion.

Im glad and im sure that if you keep that direction you will end up achieving your fitness goals! keep it up brother
 
I Have been taking a few days off...normally i never do it but i have been killing myself while at the gym, working really hard at the office (11hr/days), eating the same tasteless and boring foods, counting my cals everyday etc... and because of that i am feeling so tired lately not only physically but mentally...I really need a break. I just want to go to work and then go home and spend some time watching TV, Eat without thinking about calculating cals and making numbers work at the end of the day.

LAter ...go genomyx ;)
 
Im glad and im sure that if you keep that direction you will end up achieving your fitness goals! keep it up brother

Thank you very much! I hope to never reach my fitness goals. My true goal is to alway progress and be the best form of myself (both with fitness and all other aspects of life) though i would not complain If I become as fit as you are!

Great attitud bro! keep it up
 
Update:

I have taken almost 1 week off training/dieting..it was tough to finally make the decision to take time off after training hard for so long..but my body was asking for it badly...Most people dont understand that i train so hard that im always walking a fine line between injuring myself/and keep moving foward...and im almost never pain free...for me there is no sundays off...Saturdays & sundays are just another day. Sometimes my training parthner ask me "why you feel tired..its just monday" ....Well he doesnt know that i have not taken a day off in weeks and that sunday i did an average of 20 sets for calves + my high intensity cardio for 30-35mins. To make the story short a few people have told me that im going to shrink, lose streght, that i am not the same..perhaps lost....All i can say is that its true! I will shrink! I will get weaker, But i know exactly what im doing. Just watch

Today i came across this great piece of avice (from coach/bodybuilder John Meadows, CSCS) that supports what im doing:

"One element of building muscle that intrigues me, is the question of rest, in this case a layoff. Should you take them? If so how often? For how long?

"In my early days as a teenager I trained my whole body pretty much 3-4 times a week. I had a really hard time growing, but I ate so much, I helped my cause a little. As I got older and more developed, I realized that I had to increase intensity and get creative to continue to grow and get to an elite level in terms of muscular hypertrophy. "

"As a I got better at beating the heck out of myself, and not letting my body catch on to what I was doing, I also figured out something else along the way. In sounds cliche but it's true. "

"Sometimes you have to take 1 step back to take 2 forward. "

"I used to take 1 week a year (always after a contest). As the years went by I began taking 2. Now, every year I take 3 weeks off."

"I just finished taking my break and started training again yesterday. Usually the first week I take off, I look the exact same. After the second week, I get a little softer and smaller but nothing major. Then after the 3rd week, something cool happens, my desire to train intensely grows out of control. The passion comes back in spades, and I feel rejuvenated. I do lose another pound or two and get a little smaller yet. Generally speaking I lose about 5 pounds in total, and get softer. "

"Once I start back training, not only does it come back fast, I generally surpass where I was in terms of muscle size, and do it with lower intensity and less volume. Then of course I add in volume and intensity as I move forward. "

"Some thoughts - Most novices don't really need time off. They are not annihilating muscle tissue. They are teaching their nervous sysyem to fire, their muscle to just handle weight without shaking..contract, stetch, and flex a muscle. "

"Intermediates probably at certain points (usually every 12-16 weeks) will do well with a week off. "

"Advanced trainees is where this gets interesting. It is my belief advanced trainees seeking muscle mass should use very logical variations in their training volume and intensity, and also vary the exercises they do for max results. In these cases, after killing it for a while, it's good to take up to 3 weeks off."

Train hard and smart
 
Sometimes you just need to let the body take a break, let everything fully heal, get rid of all possible stresses, then when you're ready get back to beating the **** out of yourself :D

I'm in the novice class so I don't have to which is fine by me :thumbsup:

I understand exactly what you mean, Francisco - next week after my photoshoots with Walt Ostarly, I will be taking a week off from resistance training, because I have noticed over the last few weeks that I am getting weaker and fatigued more easily, my body wanting a break, but not being able to have one, because I need to keep going. I used to be like John Meadows - only a single week off a year when I was cycling, but after going through Chronic Fatigue in 2008 and then injuries in 2009-2011, it's been more like a month or more every year thereafter, but when training, it's training hard, only taking that break when FORCED to because of injury, etc., always walking that fine line between extreme and progress. Enjoy your time off - your body will thank you for it when you start training again, and you'll be able to come back better than ever, with little or no loss in mass and/or strength!

Rosie, im glad that you are always around and posting here in my log, You are an athlete and you understand what we have to go thru...Training the way we do is not fun, its hard and it is painful,....almost always i feel like a walking zombie the day after a heavy leg session, or upperbody max strenght,..also We work full time jobs, we are hungry all day because of our diets etc...but we keep doing it because this is what we love to do.,...I was feeling extremely tired, my motivation was not there and I realized that a break was a must....and as meadows stated sometimes taking 1 step backwards is what is needed to move foward. Im sure that once i get back to training i will not only get all my muscle/strength back fast but my fire (motivation) will be thru the roof...something that i really need once i start the real diet for my next contest prep. Once again thanks for your support ;)

"Not fun...hard and painful..." Definitely - people don't realize that we just do it, period, regardless of HOW we FEEL, because it IS what we do; just because we don't advertise to the world that we're in pain all the time does not mean we're NOT! Yeppers - I know what you mean; the only thing I can't relate to as much is being on a "diet", since I don't diet (even though I "intend" to and manage a few days, maybe a week tops, here and there!), but my training, and yes, working 60-80 hour weeks on top of training and everything else, does make for a busy and exhausting - but very rewarding - lifestyle! Time out is definitely needed sometimes - even though I know it myself, especially with everything my body has been through, sometimes I ignore it and keep pushing, but then my body lets me know in no uncertain terms that it's time for a little "recuperation" (if it gets to that point though, I'm in trouble, which is why I now have a day off all training ONCE a week, and a week off resistance training every few months). You will, I am positive - that time out gives your MIND a chance to recover, as well as your body, and sometimes just being able to live a little without the stress of being "strict" all the time and "on schedule" can make for a nice (and welcome) change of scenery. No worries and you're welcome, Francisco - I'm always here to support you :)

Break is over...TIME TO DO SOME WORK

2. My Body feels great, I am not tired anymore...in addition i feel very motivated once again....i want to eat my broccoli, I got so tired of it...that 2 weeks ago i didnt want to even smell it LOL!...now I already had 1/2 lb today and im going for my second 1/2 lb serving later tonight ;)

3. As far as strenght is concerned...i dont know yet because I'll be increasing the weight slowly starting with 70%(today)
But i am sure i lost some strenght and mass...however i will get it back pretty soon...love muscle memory .

Great to have you back! I understand what you mean sometimes you need a break mentally and physically. I got so sick of tuna and cottage cheese (part of my daily diet) I took a few days of eating like a normal American. I was actually excited to get back to the grind I just needed to mentally reset.

You do have to Live your Life sometime!

Im featured in sec 8 (pic), sec 28 (Right/red mask), sec 30 (Right/white mask), Sec 32, (left/white mask) SEc 35 (right white mask) ..........and finally on min 1:03 Right White mask..finishing the fight with a knock out ;)

Hope you like it

Sick Video! looks brutal, good job!
 
Sorry for the lack of updates guys...its been a long week! after the holidays is back to work, work and more work! at the office is back to normal..working 50's/wk..;( as far as the gym...... im also back training 6-7 days/week....so i ended up super tired yesterday. Today i have been sleeping all day...i just got out of bed to eat and go to the gym... im hoping to do the same tomorroW...i need to be rested for next week because im increasing my intensity and my weights.

As far as my diet is concerned...im hitting my numbers like a machine...Contest prep is around the corner once again and i cant wait to hit the stage...i will be taking around 20wks to be ready for my first show of the year...this time im starting leaner than last year so i hope to be able to get ready early and increase my calories up to the shows...im really exited because this is something the ive never done before.

Later ...go genomyx ;)
