I went for a late walk with my girlfriend. I was bloated like crazy from the gigantic meal and desert. I had DOMS hard core in my lower back, legs, and arms. I felt like **** every step of the way
Hitting the gym soon for some chest/back size pyramid!

Day 11- June 18, 2012
Workout: Size pyramid chest/back
A1: EZ bar supinated row: EZ bar+50*20 reps, +60*16, *70*12, +80*8, +80*8, +70*12, +60*16, +50*20.
A2: Flat DB chest press: 30*20 reps, 35*16, 40*12, 45*8, 45*8, 40*12, 35*16, 30*20.
B: Pullovers DB- 25*10 reps for 3 sets.
Jump rope: Tabata style. Did one tabata round (4 minutes). Rest 1.5 minutes, did 3 minutes tabata protocol. Rest 1.5 minutes, did 2 minutes tabata protocol. Rest 1 minute, did 1 minute.
Workout thoughts: Another good one. This brings the size pyramid to a close. Next starts a short, intense fat burning workout from John Romaniello for the remainder of this log (probably looking at a little over three weeks of this next workout).
Based on this: Invalid Link Removed
Workout thoughts: Had to end this quicker than I wanted because my girlfriend's car had a flat so I didn't get through it all. After I got her call I hurried up and finished my squat sets with as minimal rest as possible to get out and help her out. Did some bodyweight calf raises later and went on a walk.

Day 12- June 19, 2012
Workout- Treadmill HIIT
Walk/jog warmup. 30 seconds at 9.0 speed, 1.5 minute jog/walk recovery. Did 5 rounds. Then walked at a steep incline for 15 minutes.
Workout thoughts-
Haven't really "ran" a lot in a while so I'm slowly going to build into it. Looking at doing two HIIT days a week of sprints, likely one with longer intervals and more total time and another one with higher intensity for shorter time. Will also begin some more forms of cardio during this fat loss phase, some bike riding, more jump roping, and adding walks.

Trust me it's tough on me as I hate running. I'm trying to nut it up for this fat loss cycle though.
Ironically I used to be pretty decent at track (400/800 runner) in high school and ran all the time. Now it mkes me want to off myself

Day 13- June 20, 2012
20 minutes stationary bike (hills)
1 kettlebell tabata set
Kind of an off day today, but wanted to do a few things. Tomorrow will be a tough one, then have to be out of town from Friday until Sunday for basketball. Ran a pretty big calorie deficit today. Feeling great. Face/shoulders look like they are getting a bit more oily perhaps? Could be the heat, could be the Testodrol/HGH coming into its own. Never really break out or anything of the sort so it's hard to say.

Thanks. We're usually pretty good (got third in the state last year) and we play so much damn summer ball it feels like it never ends. This is one of our overnight ones which the kids always have a blast at.

Also a little update on what I'm doing next. I was going to follow that Roman program, but as I got to looking at it it's very similar to the Superhero program I just got done doing (before the short size pyramid phase). So I got to kicking around looking at some of my old logs and pulled out a very old classic. E.D.T. training from Charles Staley, specifically an old program I made based on an article he wrote called Lose the Fat, Keep the Strength. It's different from what I've been doing and I remember just how much I liked training with E.D.T. many moons ago. So that's what I'll be doing when I get back. 3 days a of lifting, and of course adding as much cardio and stuff as possible for the remainder of the phase (trying to cut up before an on the beach wedding (not mine) in July).

Back. Fun, but tiring weekend. We are always challenging for the state title in basketball and this year's team will be no different after I watched us play this weekend. 3 days with high school kids in a hotel will make you yearn for some quiet however. Back in the gym tomorrow, can't wait!

Day 18- June 25, 2012
Workout
A: Power Snatch- 10 singles in 10 minutes. 95*1 for 6 reps.
PR Zone 1: Perform exercises back to back as time allows (12 minutes)
B: Barbell hip extensions- 95*5 for 7 sets
B2: One arm DB row- 50*5 for 7 sets
Other stuff: Jump rope for 10 minutes (25 seconds on, 25 seconds off). Decline DB situps.
Other thoughts: This was not the whole planned workout. Lower back pain (really tightness) has been an issue the last couple of workouts. Again I had to cut it short. This is really annoying to me, but I'm going to try and start doing some hip mobility exercises and stretches that hopefully alleviate this problem. I really don't want to not be able to finish workouts, but when it gets as tight as it has the last couple of times I truly can't do anything with it. It's a new issue for me, but one I plan on learning from and working through.
If anyone has any tips on what to do about the lower back tightness, stretches, mobility drills, strengthening, let me know.

Try rolling around on a foam roller
Your back might be tight but it could be you legs,hipflexers, or IT band and its all pulling
Just a thought.
I'm starting to foam roll the crap out of my lower body/lower back. I gotta figure something out

Workout: H.I.I.T. treadmill training. 8 rounds of 30 seconds at 9.5 speed with 1.5 minutes walk/jog recovery. Finished by walking for ten minutes. Went on another walk later in the day.
Feeling better today than yesterday. Started doing some stretching, foam rolling, hip mobility work hoping it helps the lower back out!

Forgot to mention I started the PLP program. Started at 3 and will build up from there. It's a supplement to my current program and something I've always wanted to try. Not to mention I'm mad at how much I suck at pullups now. I used to be able to bang out reps with 45 pounds plate attached regularly. Now I have a hard time doing 5 with my bodyweight. Hoping this helps and I know as I lose fat that will help as well.

Back in the gym tomorrow. I don't think I have anything that will tighten up my lower back and keep me from completing the workout. Sucks when you're taking great supplements to help you meet goals and you get sidelined. Really hoping the hip mobility drills I'm adding help out.
Also been increasing the number of walks I go for. It's not high intensity cardio by any means, but hopefully some extra will help me shed a lil fat.

I ordered another bottle of Mass HGH. Haven't decided if I will continue to run it with my next stack or save it. The deep sleep (I've been dreaming like crazy) and restful days are awesome. I definitely look leaner than I have in a while. I think my pictures will show some real strong progress!

Unfortunately, rest is the only thing that helped. Took off a week and it went away. For me, when it happens, it happens out of the blue. A slight tweak and my back goes out.
My GF always says to watch out for knots in your muscles, especially your back.
Of course, I told her I would not reach my back and she had to help me even though I did have one of those foam rollers.
Maybe get a regular sports massage ? Monthly ?

It's definitely something I'm going to monitor. I'll see if foam rolling+hip mobility+stretching helps out at all and if not I will look into a massage.

It's hard telling. I've been pretty busy the last couple of days helping a friend out at his business so I haven't really got to test it hard in the gym. It acted up a bit today, but not nearly like it has in the weight room. I'm hitting the foam rolling/hip mobility work daily still so maybe that is helping.
I'd say it's too early to really say one way or the other.
