Beast back session breezy. I just got back from my back/biceps session. Pretty similar.

Thanks kbayne. I've been feeling great with the higher calorie/carb intake and going heavier with a few exercises. It's already time to start cutting again though :(. Nice, I'll be sure to check it out.
 
Nice work breezy. Were you using straps for those 150lb meadows?? Holy cow, I can hardly hold on to the end of a barbell

Thanks dude. Haha yup, there's no way that I could hold on to the end of the barbell with that much weight. I usually add straps when I get up to 100lbs.
 
Cutting for your competition you have planned to go to?

Wheew. I was gonna say. Its a lot tougher than it looks! I usually hit the straps after 75. I do these every single back day now. Definitely a great variation. Also been on those kayak rows as well!
 
Bet breezy gonna be insanely shredded in 12 weeks. Get at it man! :cool:

Meadows himself uses straps (or a handle attachment) as well. Yeah, its a awesome exercise. I'll usually have them or one-arm bb rows in my routine each back session. Kayak rows are another great one for pre-exhaustion or as a finisher.


Here's the handle:

I hope so lol. The time to cut came pretty fast. I've started some diet changes and am getting some solid stacks lined up.

I can't wait to run that PES cutting stack after my athletix log. You picked that up as well, correct?

Yeah, A-T2 (and EPro) will be a part of my final 8 weeks of prep and Shift will be in the last 4.
 
Nice work in here, Breezy!

Will be interesting to see your diet changes as you expose the shredded beast within... Solid workouts
Click to expand...

Lol thanks wasme. There aren't any major diet changes at the moment. I dropped calories (-200) and the intra-workout carbs (as of yesterday), but am still consuming plenty of both.
 
I don't have much time this morning, but am about to hit the gym for a quick arm (and possibly a little back) session. I'll get my last 2 workouts posted by tonight.

I can't wait to get to the end of the day, as I'll have the next 4 days off from work. This week has been rough and I could definitely use the free time. :thumbsup:

I love the correlation with time off and training intensity. It so much better when you have days off to really get ready for a session and give it 120%!
 
Four days off sounds great (I get three this weekend - but have 2 weeks off coming up!).

I am sure if I go back and check dates etc, I could figure it out myself - but how many days do you put in before a rest day?

I always give it 120% ;). Yeah, it's great when you don't have a bunch of additional things going on throughout the day.

Yeah, I'm most looking forward to some extra sleep. Nice, enjoy your vacation man.

It changes, but I was taking every 6th day off for the last couple of months. I recently changed it to an "as needed" basis, which has been once a week. I'll probably take tomorrow or Sunday off.

Crazy veinage Breezy. Ordered the new Jack3d Adv + versa combo from NP the other day. Will be sitting in Manhattan at the hotel waiting for me - along with some other goodies! Based on those veins I made a good choice
 
Wow...that is all

I was checking out NP and saw this ridiculous deal.

OxyELITE Protein for just under $20 a tub (when you buy 2+). :thumbsup:

Bought...been waiting to try this just couldn't justify the price. This is a solid deal though.
 
I just bought some OxyElite...may have to grab more at that price.

I wouldn't say to try it now (since you are getting ready for a comp and no need to throw new variables in), but considering your hardcore techniques I think you should look into trying BFR training sometime. I threw in some sets at the end of my workouts this past month due to my injury and the pumps were insane...Seemed like the kind of torture you would like. :)

Glad you're giving it a shot bud. You'll soon be addicted and have to continue buying it. :)

Yeah, I couldn't believe the deal when I came across it.

Wow, nice!

Noob Q:
What does Versa 1 do?
Click to expand...

Thanks man.

It's considered a natural anabolic. 804 mentioned some common effects reported by users. What I've enjoyed most is improved gym performance. My mind-muscle connection and mental clarity are on point (especially when combined with stimulants) and I've had consistent strength/endurance improvements. Another thing that I've noticed is that my vascularity seems to become more prominent, independent of my body fat level. The majority of weight that I put on has been lean as well. I'd recommended giving it a try if interested. I really enjoy it and have cycled the product since the beta test.

I'd like to stock up, but have reached my spending limit for the week. Hopefully, I can grab some before the sale ends.

I remember reading Lanye Norton's article on BFR training a while ago and it does seem like the kind of torture I'd enjoy :). I'll definitely give it a try in a few months. Did you use knee wraps to restrict blood flow?

I probably could've used some BFR training today, as I aggravated my sciatica last night while taking my socks off (it's always something random that causes it). I immediately dropped to the floor and experienced intense paresthesia from my neck to my toes for a few hours following. I'd image it was similar to what taking 10g of beta-alanine at once must feel like lol. The good news is that it's not serious and I'm pain free unless sitting a certain way or bending over completely. I actually worked legs this morning without any issues; however, I played it safe by avoiding heavy (and deep) squats and switching up exercises that could potentially aggravate it. It feels like the workout helped loosen things up a bit, but I still won't be doing any deadlift variations this week.

IMHO: It gives stellar vascularity, pumps, and muscle mind connection.

Thanks for the feedback man.
 
Ya I used a lot of the info from Loenneke to set it up. I wasn't able to lift heavy (or much at all) with my cast so I figured what the hell. The pump was murder and I actually thought it was an interesting experience. Worth a try at least.
 
I think this thread is headed fast to 10,000 posts. Amazing stuff Breezy. True AM "guru"
 
Have yet to try versa1.

The deal with jack 3d AF is very tempting, but I need to actually try the tub of AF I've bought before buying another..

I've had a few pres open for a while which is why I haven't cracked it yet.

for anyone who's tried it, how does AF compare to micro?

I'll check out Loenneke's info before giving it a try. Yeah, it definitely sounds interesting and pretty painful as well.

I have to agree here. I used it during my pct and vascularity and pumps were solid and endurance went up.

Awesome to hear wasme. Look forward to your thoughts on the Jack3d AF/VERSA-1 combo.

I think you'd enjoy it ace. There isn't a ton of feedback on Jack3d Advanced at this point, but the majority of what I've seen has been very positive. I believe the IC release was only for 1000 tubs and it hasn't been available to the general public very long. I posted my thoughts on it (in this thread), but am guessing that you'd like to hear from others as well. I don't really like to compare products, but the biggest difference for me would be their stim effects. Jack3d AF provides more of a kick (still smooth energy though) and has me sweating up a storm. I'd probably crack open that tub for a couple workouts while the deal is still available. :)
 
I have a couple workouts to post later today. There are a few videos that I'd like to include, which aren't uploading correctly after multiple attempts. :banghead:

Exactly what I wanted to hear (the kick)

I've been planning on trying my af so I can make a decision and swoop this deal- I just haven't been home in like two Weeks and the only pre I took with me up North was enhanced..

Looking forward to trying af tho
 
Hey man I tried them black cats today. Good energy using just one. Gonna bang out two tomorrow and let you know how that went.

Nice. One cap of the old version gave me a slight boost of energy/focus, which is great considering my stim tolerance. Sounds good man.
