breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

5/15/13

I'm having a busy day, but enjoying a solid carb up. My muscles didn't look as full as I would've liked after last week's, so I'm upping the carbs a little. I should finish the day having consumed around 550g.

This morning's back session went well. Strength, focus, and endurance were all on point. I had my first taste of Blue Raspberry OxyELITE Pro® Super Thermo Powder(TM), which I thought was great. The rest of my supplementation remains the same.

Meadows Rows
2 warm-up x8
100x8
100x8
125x8

-25lb plates used for increased stretch/ROM

Banded Supported T-Bar Rows (explosive)
1 warm-up x6
90x6 (+ band resistance)
90x6
90x6
90x6

Stretch Pulldowns
200x8
200x8
200x8

DB Shrug
120x12
120x12
120x12

-3 sec hold at top (this lights up my traps)

Explosive Deadlift
2 warm-up x3
315x3
335x3
355x3
355x15 (to failure)

Reeves Deads (slow stretch)
95x10
95x10

Stretchers
120x10
120x10
120x10

-I threw these in because I had a little extra time. It felt great ending the session with a good stretch.

HIIT
12 mins: treadmill

Are you doing touch and go for that set of deads, or are you resetting each rep
Either way that's impressive

Thanks ace. It was touch and go for most of it. Around the 10th or 11th rep, I had to start slowing down. The last few probably had a 5 sec rest between them. It was awful; high rep deads are the worst lol.
 
Screwwwwwww those high rep deadlifts. My best rep max ever was 395x12 and I set it down and left the gym right after that. Never doing that again. You're just the animal that does it at the end of a workout..and then some. More power to ya.

My short arms can't so Reeve's..I gotta stick with snatch..grip that is ;)

Yeah I hate High rep deads, especially when I get to touch and go my technique goes to ****.

Ass and hips shoot up, and then I basically sldl it up

I find it's better for me to just get reps of five, eight max

I've implemented snatch grips off blocks for reps, they make me their bitch but not as brutal as straight Deads

Haha I sat there in rough shape for about 5 mins before thinking about doing anything else. I rarely did high rep anything in the past. Meadows routines always seem to have deads, squats, and bench at or towards the end of a workout.

Lol you could try doing the Meadows variation with a shorter bar.

Yeah, I prefer lower rep as well. I was supposed to end the session with an "annihilator set".

Hahaha I have to do this on about the 3rd set of 4x35 rear peck decks every week. I swear that last set takes me 3 minutes it feels like lol

Thanks bud. I can't wait for the beach...I don't care much about showing off my physique though. I worked outside last summer and was the only one that kept their shirt on haha.

PB Choc is my favorite. Vanilla and C&C were pretty good as well.

For you or anyone else looking to grab protein, USPlabs OxyELITE Protein™ is being released to the InnerCircle members next Tuesday, May 21st. As always, the deal will be ridiculous.

I've been sampling it this week and am thoroughly impressed (as are the other testers). I think the taste and consistency are awesome. It's very creamy and the thickness is exactly what I look for. I think the Milk Chocolate flavor has a creamy cocoa taste, which reminds me of homemade chocolate milk or Nesquick. The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor has an awesome frosting/cake batter taste to it IMO.

Staying humble, gotta respect that.

I deleted all my subscriptions and was having a hard time remembering which subforum this one was in haha finally found it.
 
High rep deads leave me breathless literally and disoriented. Respect for anyone who gets deads at over 8 reps at 300+

Thanks Jiigzz. Physique changes are great, but they're only one of many motivating factors. I just love to train and challenge myself.

Glad you made your way back. I should probably "clean up" my subscriptions as well.

Thanks fumoney. Yeah, sitting down was a must as soon as I finished. I probably would've went down involuntarily if I didn't lol.
 
It's a beautiful morning and I'm heading to the field for some HIIT.

I found this interesting (not sure if anyone else will lol), as it relates to my current training and a lot of my food choices. I was surprised to find out that he recommends tracking progress with one "fattest area" caliper reading, which I do as well...belly fat is down ~5mm from the start of this log. :thumbsup:

Like you have belly fat. Ha !!!

Got some cookie butter at Traders Joes near work. Giving it a shot tomorrow AM.
 
Solid vid. That is similar to what I do for fat loss tracking. I do my three worst sites. :thumbsup:

Haha I'd like to lose some more. I think the lighting in the pics at the start of the log made me appear leaner than I was.

Nice, let me know what you think. I got some of those roast chicken patties that you mentioned and will be using one in my egg creation today.

I thought so as well. I used to do that, but switched to strictly abdominal every 3-4 weeks.

Is it normal to have a leg reading be 1/2 of you abdominal fold? :think:

You'll be back strong soon enough.

I think you will like them - chicken patties. They are actually good just as is, but I am sure you will go chef Boyadee on them. Pop in microwave for 2 min and they are good to go. Nice 50gm of protein in that package. Well seasoned also.

Yeah, they look delicious and would be great when I'm short on cooking time as well. I'll let you know what I think.
 
You guys and your Trader Joe's ... saw on google there is a facebook page to bring Trader Joe's to Canada lol. Mind you I salivate everytime you guys going shopping there.

Haha. I used to live Whole Foods, but they became too popular and got way too expensive. Trader joes is definitely a better alternative. Hope you see one in your area soon. I am sure Toronto would be one of their target markets.
 
Sale on the EliteFTS SS Yoke bar...I may cave this time since everyone in the world has one in their logs. :(

I may be usin that exact bar here in an hour. The handles on it are nice

You like it? Not cheap but man I think it would be useful for a ton of stuff (myself and others).

Jealous. I can't even find the correct padding for the one I use.
 
Sean1332 said:
Yeah it's a good bar. The handles let me pull on them to get some back tightness when squatting with it.
Click to expand...


Yeah if you pull the handles down it shifts the weight higher up your back, but allows you to create incredible tension in your upper back and a nice arch too

Too often I see people push the handles up as they get to the bottom

Nice OT win... great start to the series!

Indeed. That would've been a tough one to lose. So many shots, opportunities...and posts.

2 goals in 22 seconds??? See you in the finals.

Nice comeback. I hope so. There's still a lot of hockey to be played before either team could get there.
 
Hit a lot of posts. Thought they might end up being snake bitten. Great ending though. Hate Tortorella.

Watch those Kings. Look like they are warning up for a run again.

Ya we were not getting the bounces... and that goal with 1 sec left, had me thinking the Rangers might do it. Beauty goal though in OT

By the way.. killer shoulder workout.

Hope your day eases up!
 
Nice workout. I still love those 6 ways, brutal yet awesome.
 
They def. show the imbalance I have in my delts.

It stayed pretty busy and most of the weekend will be as well. I should be able to relax by game time Sunday though!

They're definitely tough, but I find spider crawls to be "worse". So were the 20 over and backs following the 6 ways. :eek:

Towards the end of a set, lifting the weight over my head is the biggest challenge for me.

I was very happy with my performance during today's session. I didn't expect to be maintaining strength the way I have throughout my cut. Strength endurance was actually improved compared to my numbers doing the same exercises last week. I think this speaks to the effectiveness of my current supplementation.



All supersets were done on 30 seconds rest.


Rope Pushdown / 1.5 Cable Curls
130x15 / 100x10
130x15 / 100x10
130x14 / 90x10

Cable Extensions (Rope) / Cross Body Hammer Curls
40x10, x5 partials / 40x10
40x10, x5 partials / 40x10
40x10, x5 partials / 40x10
40x10, x5 partials / 35x10

-partials out of stretched position



BB Preacher Curl (3 sec neg) / Incline BB Extension
70x8 / 70x15
70x8 / 70x12
70x8 / 70x12
70x8 / 70x12

-increased stretch (behind head) each set with extensions



Ab Crunch Machine / Hanging Leg Raise
8 / 10
8 / 10
8 / 10

Yeah, it'd be hard to find another combo that causes a more intense pump or the amount of ridiculous faces lol.

So true, I was doing 6 ways today and on my last set my wife walked by and was like ' are you ok? from your face you look either disgusted or in pain' lol
 
By the way ... nice workout today... Supersetted with only 30 seconds rest throughout is solid!

Off to a BBQ.... Venison, Chicken, Turkey sausage on the menu.... who needs carbs with all that!
