VERSA-1, Compound20, SS Forskolin-95 (8 weeks)

[bolt10]

They put the local schools on a two hour delay today...but the snow is all already melted here. Pansies around here I tell ya.

Stay safe if you venture out in that man.

You need to pick up some bands for this Mt Dog Training if you can. I never really do leg press but added it in for this 3 week micro-cycle and have done two workouts of it with bands a la Meadows style. Got the craziest quad pump today and that was the only high rep quad work I did in my workout.

 

[breezy11]

Even here in toronto they are saying boston is going to get nailed. 30 inches and 80 mph winds. Have fun with that lol

It's gonna be a blast lol. I'm gonna be pissed when the power goes out. Flooding is supposed to be terrible a little south where my parents live.

 

[wasme]

Hope the flooding doesnt cause to much damage...or affect your parents.

Haha Yeah, some areas freak out when snow is coming and they aren't used to it.

I just grabbed some groceries after I heard about the driving ban. It was madness. I've got 4WD and like putting it to use when its like this. It'll be a whiteout in a little while though.

I'm planning on it. I'd like to run through the program again, switching up the exercises more, and incorporating all the band work. I hadn't done leg press in over a year until I started MD training. You've got me wanting to start the bands ASAP. Maybe I can use them for extra intensity in phase 3.

Their town always gets rocked, but they aren't directly on the water so they should be ok. A lot of the people that are will probably take off.

Stay safe Breezy, Cheda and all in the vicinity.

Thanks man. I won't be going anywhere for a while (it's illegal as of 30 minutes ago haha).

 

[breezy11]

I just lost power as I was clicking my mouse to post an update. It came back on, but it still wasn't cool at all :zx11pissed:

EZ Bar Close Grip Press (slow descent towards chin)

90x8


I was feeling crazy, so I dropped a couple sets from my routine and threw in this massive superset.

Crazy 8's

Example
[video=youtube_share;ajZ3u_P2LFA]http://youtu.be/ajZ3u_P2LFA[/video]

It was great and actually a little easier than I'd expected. My arms were destroyed, the pump was intense, and my veins were very prominent.

 

[rochabp]

dude you're pretty small

Thanks. That's not me in the last video though

Day 40

I've officially lost power and it probably won't be back for a while. Luckily I had just cooked the majority of my dinner before it happened (hope the chicken was done). I was able to get the rest of my calorie target from a protein shake.

I'll be doing some cardio/shoveling in the morning, which I'd rather do than be stuck on a treadmill.

If my phone ends up dying (most likely will because my battery is awful), I'll probably post an update while it charges in my car tomorrow.

Stay off the phone. Save it for emergencies !!!!

I am not sure how much you are getting hit, but it looks pretty bad from news reports.

J/k.....I am sure you know what you are doing. Crazy 8s look intense. Lactic acid nitemare.

Stay dry Breezy. Weather man was right for once it looks like.

Haha I thought about that for a second, but there's not much else to do at the moment. It should last through the night, and I could go out to my car if I really needed to.

Last I heard the snow was piling up 3-6 inches per hour. Now that the power is gone, I've really noticed how crazy it sounds outside.

It was a lot of fun. I'll probably end up finishing with it again next week.

I thought they might be wrong again until a few hours ago. It'll be interesting to see what it's like in the morning.

 

[Danb2285]

Stay safe brother

 

[breezy11]

Stay safe brother

Thanks bud. That's the plan.

 

[rochabp]

Thanks. That's not me in the last video though

haha good cus that guy is a beast

 

[wasme]

Hope you boys on the east coast are doing well.... The skies have cleared here.. with 15 inches on the ground... child's play compared to what you're getting..

Those crazy eights look nightmarishly fn' great!!!! Gotta try that next week...

 

[breezy11]

haha good cus that guy is a beast

Haha yup. That's John Meadows; the guy that came up with the style of training I'm currently doing.

Thanks man. 15 is no joke either. I wonder where it's at around here now.

Do it! I saw the video and immediately put it into my workout haha.

 

[Jiigzz]

Stuff those crazy 8's man, I could feel his pain just sitting here watching the vid. I get sore after one superset.

Hopefully the weather chills out for you

 

[mattys4]

still no power breezy? Im a lil north of you we are buried but have power still. Theres so much snow on my porch i think it may rip off the house

Haha they're pretty intense. My biceps actually aren't sore at all, but my tri's took somewhat of a beating.

It looks like the worst is over at this point.

Yeah, it sucks and I'm extremely jealous. I just went on an adventure out to my car (where I am now) to use my phone and it was a huge project. I couldn't open my front door and had to slowly dig myself out with a big wooden spoon lol. The snow is currently just above my knees. I think I might just wait for spring before I go anywhere lol.

 

[breezy11]

Day 41

I'm getting some quality fasted cardio (and a full body workout) with 2 scoops of Alphamine (just for today), Versa-1, and a shovel. The gym doesn't look like it's going to be an option. I think the driving ban is still ongoing anyway.

ahahaha good sh*t!

clean up the whole city

 

[breezy11]

No thanks. I've officially had enough.

 

[breezy11]

Day 41 continued

I forgot to mention the big increase I saw on the scale this morning. I weighed in at 218.2lbs (+4.2lbs from day 1). Some of the added weight is probably me holding a little water after an off day, but I do look to be adding some size (without noticeable fat gain). My progress has definitely accelerated since I started feeling better.

 

[breezy11]

I came out to my car to make a phone call/listen to the radio and just heard it could be 3-5 days before power is restored (really hope they're wrong)....I'm not happy. At least I have gas burners for some form of cooking and plenty of whey. It's gonna be a cold night.

 

[wasme]

No thanks. I've officially had enough.

I know that feeling all too well... just when you think your done.. god damn snow plow goes by...

 

[breezy11]

Haha. Happened a few times.

 

[breezy11]

I'm not sure when I'll get to the gym again or go anywhere at all. There aren't any gas stations open (at least ones that I can get to without running out of gas) and power could be out for days. I'm guessing the gym is closed anyway.

Damn....that sucks. Do you have enough food in the house ? Are you worried about not being able to maintain your caloric intake ? I know this should be the least of your worries, but thought I ask.

Big time. I'm getting low on food and have nowhere to buy it currently. I had to go back to gluten to survive haha. Hopefully a few places open up soon. Yeah, that's a problem. I didn't count calories yesterday, but I know I came up way short.

 

[LiveToLift]

Sorry to hear all this bro. This is terrible! I didn't even know that you guys were supposed to get dumped on until you mentioned it. It's odd I'm probably less than a couple hundred miles from you and we barely got a few inches all weekend. Hope it gets better for you.

Thanks man. It's really starting to piss me off. It's not too bad during the day, but once 5pm rolls around and you have no power or heat its miserable. I slept fully clothed with a hoodie on last night.

 

[howwedo107]

AM power squad assemble!!!! We have to go help him with power and steaks and natty peanut butter!

Seriously though man that's rough I hope everything all good and things get better soon this year has been crazy for the weather

Do you have a fireplace ? Any dource of hear ? Any hotels open ?

Wow....never been in that situation before. Can't even imagine.

Haha. Thanks Ricky. My brother is coming by now with his truck and we're heading out to see if there's anything open. I hear there's power about 20mins away. Hopefully he has a full tank of gas.

 

[breezy11]

I do have a fireplace thankfully, but my wood supply is running low. I'll probably save it for tonight and sleep downstairs near the fire.

I can remember a few days without power when I was younger, but I don't think it was during the winter. At least I can keep the food I have cold/frozen.

 

[breezy11]

We found some food and a couple gas stations. One station was out of gas and the other lost power to the pumps as I was about to fill up a gas can (my bro got some for his truck though). I found out my gym is open (its 30mins away) but I'm still working on getting enough gas to go. I'm hoping I can get a leg workout in by the end of the day.

Man this is like a movie script. Crazy read. I feel for you, we don't realize how important electricity is until it's gone. Mine as well go get a good pump and use up their free heat at the gym!

 

[Piston Honda]

Civilization is only stable until 3 days of water, gas, and electricity are used up. From then on, it's primal nature. Imagine a countrywide shortage of all of the above. That's why I love Buffalo, when the next world war is about water and not oil, we'll be sitting pretty. Oh, and our hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls will sustain us too.

Haha yeah man, it kinda felt like one. There's cars lined up down the street trying to get gas. People were getting pretty bs when it stopped working. If I can figure out a way to get there I'll stay all day.

The silver lining ... you don't have to go to work!

...seriously though, sounds tough man... hang in there.

I'll go crazy after a couple more days of this bs haha. Did you guys get hit with the storm?

I can probably get out of it, but work definitely won't be called off.

 

[Piston Honda]

I'd say about 14" where we were, but at an inch an hour or so, it wasn't as crippling as the East Coast. The city maybe got 4 inches but where I live, closer to Lake Ontario, we got hit the hardest. But it's 40 for the next few days and most will melt.

Here's my backyard today

I think its supposed to warm up here as well. It's pretty cold out now, but the sun is fully out.

Nice yard man.

I'm not sure how I didn't notice this before, but the basketball hoop in my driveway has completely vanished lol. It was cemented into the ground too. I'm guessing it will turn up when the snow melts.

 

[chedapalooza]

We had 36 inches here in ct- 3 feet. Everything is shut down, I'm OUT of food legit. I do have power though. Hopefully in the next few hours things will be plowed so I can go get food..

Damn, sorry to hear ched. Shakes have been the majority of my calorie intake since yesterday. A lot of the food that I do have, I can't really cook without power. Some roads haven't been touched around here yet either. 4WD is a big help.
