Well now that you're crushing it, you may be looking for some added difficulty?.....look at Mountain Dog incline BB press, John meadows variation. Takes the burn on inclines to a whole new level.

Keep the PR train rolling, great job!
 
Also....today was my weigh-in with my coach.....I am now at 149.4 = 0.6 loss
I definitely feel much leaner, and much stronger. I am curious to see what he says or what he will have me change.

I would love to try it but I looked at a video and I am not sure what the differences are...would you explain, please? :)

Sometimes it's a bit harder to see on his videos bc he's so damn big! Basically, lower it closer to your collar bone. A slight pause 2-3 from touching and only pressing to 75% extension. You're honestly not too far off as is. It's almost as soon as you feel tension leave from your chest and move slightly more to your triceps you start to lower the weight again.

Hope that helps, I'll try and video mine. I'm not nearly as large so it's probably easier to see lol.

Day 16
Was a full rest day. I have not taken a complete rest day in 29 days. I kind of had a mental/ physical breakdown as I became discouraged at my lack of visual results. I feel good and that I am changing and getting stronger but my body is barely showing it. I spoke with my coach by phone yesterday, and he told me that this will be a slow process because he believes I have some metabolic damage from my last contest prep. He told me that the only thing that will correct this is a lot of food and time. We will be increasing my calories, most likely next week, to see if my body can maintain the weight with some added carbs -about 10 gm. His had intended for me to respond favorably to the keto diet I was on intitally for the 2 weeks and for me to lose at least 10 pounds. I lost 4, and then when introduced to carbs had put most of the weight right back on...that's when he knew.
So yesterday I needed a mental/physical break from training to gain better perspective. This morning I am about to go to the gym but not as enthused as usual but still gonna kill it!
 
I probably don't need to tell you, but don't discount the benefits of rest!! I imagine your CNS is pretty taxed as you've been kicking tons of ass!

Day 20
CARDIO ONLY DAY= 40 min on treadmill (5 min intervals of walking fast 0% incline, and 20%incline lunges)

I do belive my body composition is changing. I feel that my legs are getting leaner especially around the butt and upper thigh area, and I am seeing more definition in my arms. I stepped on the scale a day early (today) and my weight went up by 0.2lb. I have decided that I needan alternate point of measure, and began taking actual body measurements with tape yesterday- I should have been doing this from the very beginning but I think I was confident that the numbers on the scale would change dramatically each week.

I am still taking the PR-XT on an empty stomach, and the only effects I have been witness to is ass kicking in the gym ;)
My lifts are increasing weekly but for some of the exercises and I also feel that some of the exercises haven't shown an increase but a decrease-but I think this is due to changing gyms, and using different equipment...so I feel that when I use the cable machine/machines it has different tensions than my last gym- so I do not pay the decrease in those lifts any mind because it is an entirely new piece of equipment to me altogether and just gonna use that as baseline for improvement!

My weigh-in/check-in is tomorrow....
 
Day 21
Today was my weigh-in day...and I am back up to 150.0 This time I am not worried. I am doing great. I was actually thinking, what if the PR-XT is doing what it actually says it does???? I am truly recomping. I am leaning out, getting stronger, but adding size, and the scale has not budged! I am curious to see what happens to my body after I stop taking it (Sunday is my last day). So I wll update this thread afterward as well to let people know the results once I have stopped taking the PR-XT :)

W/O
Incline DB flys @ 27.5 x15
@ 30 for 15x3
Incline barbell press @ 70 for 10, 9
@ 65 for 10x2 (Now this weight I decreased but I did the press as DW had suggested bringing it lower with a 2-3sec pause!!!)
Rope pushdowns@ 50 for 20
@55 for 20x3
Straight bar pushdown @ 90 for 10x3
single arm reverse grip pushdown @ 25 for 15x3 (each arm) *this exercise the weight was decreased because I have noticed that as I try to bring up the weight I am using my shoulder more than the tricep, so i reduced to focus more on the muscle I have intended to work.

Cardio= 35min treadmill with increasing incline and intervals of walk, lunge, run for 25min, 10min 0% incline at 3.6mph

Nice update Doc! Scales can be a person's worst enemy when trying to get/stay in shape. Too many people rely just on what the scales say. I use pics the most to detemine my progress. Keep up the good work!!
 
Excellent work. Don't sweat the scale. I see noticeably more definition in your delts and you are leaner around the hips and lower abdominal area. F that scale, love the mirror!

I know I should have had an additional method of measure from the very beginning. So the pics are good but I am also using the tape measure now too :)

Phew! Thanks! I thought I was seeing some of that too, especially in the delts. Which means that I am really leaning out, and increasing the size of my awesome muscles lol!

You guys are awesome thank you and I appreciate you being here with me :-*
 
Day 22
Feeling another day of burnout...I made it through my workout but not with the same enthusiasm, torturous actually and not in a good way. I sent an email to my coach asking about the 7 day/wk cardio he didn't explain but just said to take cut a day out, and that every body is different. I think I may be looking into a different coach next time around because his communication just plain sucks. Sorry I am a little toasted today lol. I will be taking tomorrow off from all training but still taking the PR-XT as suggested for non-training days.

So todays workout:
lying hamstring curls @ 40 for 20
@ 60 for 15x2
@ 75 for 12/ @ 40 for 15
close stance hack squat @ 140 for 12x4 (lighter wieght than last week but focused more on form, and depth)
reverse lunge @ 65 for 15x4 (lighter than last week but did this without smith machine assistance-heavier next time without smith)
Squats!!! @ 65 for 12x4 (I told my coach that I missed squatting, I will be removing that stupid butt blaster machine but now adding cable kickbacks for an isolation move...went light with this squat too because I really want to focus on my form and taking it to parallel- will be adding a little more weight next time)
leg extension @ 50 for 20x4

Cardio: cross training intervals using bike, step mill, treadmill, arc trainer totalling 40 min.

I am F'N done! complete zombie right now, just mentally/physically spent. k I am done :)
Hope you all are having a great day!

Good updates Doc glad your still doing well, burnout sucks. The communication thing is a joke IMO. Don't put up with that crap. Seriously the coach I have right and will never leave btw, answers all my FB posts, emails, phone calls, texts, etc any time/day/week. He was just on vacation in Hawaii for 14 days and we had just started my very first prep, so needless to say I asked him questions almost daily and he responded within a few hours. He coaches people all over the east and west coast. My point is you are paying the man/woman so don't put up with that. End rant.

Hope u feel better rest up or else there is no use putting the work in.

See! your body knows what you need!!

And sadly, I think it is a common coaching practice, at least from my experience. I tried it once, and probably never again.
