"Finish Him" from mortal kombat should be played somewhere in this video
Thanks, yeah she is a little beast. She has her stripe on her blue belt now so she will have her red in the next month. Once she has her red belt they allow face contact. When she gets to unleash that cross to the face that she wants instead of always having to use a ridge hand to get the side of the head things are really going to get interesting.So awesome! She kicked some serious butt!
Yeah, I thought of that afterwards. That and I didn't have a local copy of that song. Annoyed that Youtube won't let it play on mobile devices because the music is copyrighted. YOu would think they would want as much play as possible... I own the stupid songs bought them myself should be allowed to use it..."Finish Him" from mortal kombat should be played somewhere in this video
I loved that movie... was silly but great all at the same time!She could give Bruce Leroy a run for his money!
Oh you have no idea. I was beaming, she was so happy too this was her first time to take 1st in both Kata and Sparring. Huge confidence booster for her. She loved being able to pick where we went to eat yesterday too. We have a celebratory meal when ever one of the kids has a function or mile marker in life. Dances, shows, earning new belts and of course winning a tournament!!! So she picked Olive Garden and we went and enjoyed some Italian grub!See did awesome Kleen, made you a proud daddy for sure!!!
We do the same.. My 4 year old is taking Tae Kwon Do and every belt he gets a special dinner soon he will be sparring can't wait for that!!! Also Yesterday he lost his first tooth so I took him to the movies last night just me and my bud we had a blast..I loved that movie... was silly but great all at the same time!

I'm trying lol gotta get on your level.Look who is all thickish in the Avi! Bulking up nicely Tyga!
Dude it's gonna be like 3 day DOMS from these meadows workouts. I am not looking forward to Thursday when I can finally feel my legs again.Today at lunch I went for some exercise. I got outside to do my walk over to where I do the tabata and the Veteran's Day Parade was going on. I took a few pics then jogged all the way until I got in front of the parade and then crossed the street. I decided to keep jogging and basically jogged the 1 1/4 miles to where I do my Tabata. It felt good but I am not going to lie, my feet were heavy as cinder block shoes toward the end. Understandable since I haven't jogged for any period of time in a while. Once there I set up my Tabata timer and proceeded to run through the session. Tabata Workout = Box Jumps, & 45 Degree Body Weight Rows - 8 rounds of 20 seconds max effort alternating the two exercises. Walked briskly back to office, stopped by some hills and walked up and down them for a second to burn off some of the fat released from the Tabata then went back to the office for some grub. Okay so I found out tonight that I am way out of shape for the Mountain Dog workout but I pushed as much as I could. Weights started dropping off after my second exercise but I gave it hell. Meadows Rows - 60x10, 95x10, 105x10, 115x8 - My strong set when I was at my peak was 140x8 but my elbow was bothering me a little so I just held the weight at peak of contraction for a full second. Hammer Strength Rows Neutral Grip - 105x10, 145x10 - Done one arm at a time using core to stabilize instead of steadying myself with my other hand. Wide Grip Lat Pull Down 165x12, 165x10, 165x10, 165x10 - I was pretty shocked at how hard 165 was. Again my tendon in my elbow was aching a little. I think it just needs some work to break it back in but there was no way I was going up while it was feeling like that. Chin Grip Lat Pull Down 165x10, 165x10 - was really focusing on using my lats on all of the pull downs, pulling through the elbows and getting a great contraction. Stretchers with 2 second stretch - 135x12, 135x12 - Holy Lat Stretch Batman!!! The 2 second stretch on these proved to be a deliciously painful stretch and pump. I forgot my workout sheet at home. I left in a hurry. I basically put this one together with things I knew from other MD back sessions but when I got home I saw that I had actually done a lot more sets and exercises than what was prescribed for this workout. I fully expect to be sore in the morning or at least by tomorrow night.
I don't think you are as far away as you think. Just keep crushing it.I'm trying lol gotta get on your level.
Ps. Last dragon is the sheet!
Oh yeah, I am surprised I am not already aching. I am sure it will hit me by tonight when I am hitting up chest and shoulders. I am not used to the timing of DOMS with night time workouts.Dude it's gonna be like 3 day DOMS from these meadows workouts. I am not looking forward to Thursday when I can finally feel my legs again.
Funny you said that because I learned about Tabata a few years ago and it just sounded like something I wanted nothing to do with. Now I want nothing to do with regular steady state stuff. The fear of being bored far surpasses the fear of hard work.Tabata scares me. The name itself sounds foreign and intimidating.
She doesn't want to pound chest and shoulders with her daddy?!Funny you said that because I learned about Tabata a few years ago and it just sounded like something I wanted nothing to do with. Now I want nothing to do with regular steady state stuff. The fear of being bored far surpasses the fear of hard work. That being said, I don't see you being too scared of much of anything... Plus Tabata is actually fun. I imaging your crossfit AMRAP workouts are just as hard if not harder. It looks like I am moving my chest and shoulder day to tomorrow. I just found out that it is another Chilis Daddy Daughter Date night tonight. These are the things I want to do with her while she is still interested. So I think I am making a priority call and she wins out over waiting one day to do chest and shoulders. Wont mess up the rest of my week because tomorrow was a scheduled off day. So expect a pretty picture of her beaming tomorrow.
Actually she was going to do just that. However I know she would prefer to be treated as a Princess instead. Now if she wants to do a quick one I will go through the motions with her then we can go but I wont have time for my full MD tonight if I take her to eat.She doesn't want to pound chest and shoulders with her daddy?!
Will do, and thanks I will let her know. She just loves to hear positive feedback, then again who doesn't, but she is a total ham, just like her Daddy!Good on you bro! Enjoy your dinner ... by the way the video was great!
Oh man, see I did not know they were doing a second one. Not even sure how you could follow that one up... Gonna have to look into this now.Kung fu hustle is a great movie lol only hope Kung fu hustle II doesn't ruin it!
Have fun with your little girl kleen
Absolutely, I have outgrown the mentality of not participating in things because of my lifestyle, or putting the gym before what is important. I used to pass on cake, and ice cream at my kids parties and stuff. Now I will partake with no guilt because it pleases them. Now late in prep I may not, but for now there is not a reason to do so.Spending time with my kids is probably one of the only times I don't think twice about missing the gym LOL.. Have fun Kleen
And this is why I won't make it to prep.

Yeah, but to be honest you don't have to forgo the cake and ice cream if you plan for it so long and not in the last month. My first show I had cake and ice cream, had some Crown Royal with dinners out, ate at chili's at least every other week up until 3 weeks out. I still was in far better condition than anyone in the show and I was competing for a Natural Pro Card. Was supposed to be in Novice but during pre-classification they told me there was no one in Novice that would even come close and offered me the chance to compete in the Advanced Class. Was pretty cool, but I was far outgunned on experience.And this is why I won't make it to prep. I like cake and ice cream.
Nice. I'm looking forward to week 2. Meadows is a sadist.I hit up chest and shoulders last night, gym was crowded and had to change some exercise selections but kept with the angles and what not. Incline Press Machine - Warms ups 70,110, & 170x10 Work Set 210x12 the rubber belt on the pulley began flexing and bouncing with that weight so I had to move to another machine to finish, continued below. Stack loaded Hammer Strength Incline 120x10, 130x8, 150x5 - I set it up so I was pushing at about a 45 degree angle here. Man that last rep on 150 was insane. One of my buddies walked up and held it from going back down so I fought for the rep for about 20-30 seconds. I ended up getting it to an inch shy of lockout, but I am counting the rep because it was the hardest thing I did last night! HS Plate Loaded Incline set up for low incline (weights are per side)- 90x6, 115x6, 135x6, 160x6 - felt pretty good, surprised at remaining strength considering I have lost some muscle while being out of commission. Vertical Bench Press Machine - 155x15, 170x13 + 2 partials - I love this particular machine the movement is so smooth and the resistance is very consistent through the entire ROM. It feels heavier than the weights listed too. Chest and front delts were getting a massive pump by now and I started looking like a beast. Stretch Pushups feet on exercise ball 1-2 second stretches- 15 & 8 reps - Wow I am not sure if it was the instability of the ball or just that I had completely thrashed my chest but I couldn't do many before failure. I thought I was pumped before these but the stretch let them fill with more blood and I was shocked at the pump for not having carbs until post workout. Heavy Side Laterals Full ROM - 40x8, 45x8. 50x8, 45x8 - These were pretty beastly, did them slightly bent over to recruit the rear delts into the movement a little. The last rep or two of the 50 lb set I was having a hell of a time keeping good form and didn't get the last one up as high as I like so I dropped back to 45 which was great because I basically did the same thing with the 45s. Machine Rear Delt Fly - 70x30, 80x25, 90x20, 100x15 Not one of these sets was easy. I LOVE the high rep stuff on the shoulders now, this was the first time to do the progressive load while dropping reps and it felt good to go up in weight but still be at a respectable weight for the 15 reps. Ultra Wide Grip Shoulder Press (hands out to collars)- 65x12 x3 sets, the last rep pf the last set I had to bring my hands in to get it up off my chest. These sound like it is such a light weight, but with the hands out to the collars and bringing it all the way to the chest it is surprisingly challenging. John Meadows says he gets 85x12 x3 on a good day so I will take my performance @ 65 with a smile. All in all this was a pretty awesome workout. I pushed so hard I had cramps and twitches in my pecs during the middle of the night. That doesn't happen often.
Oh ya he is, I am going to do legs tonight... Slightly frightened for the next 2 days of DOMS. My chest is FRIED already, the muscle moves when i flex it but it stays kind of soft instead of getting rock hard. (Here come the quote edits)Nice. I'm looking forward to week 2. Meadows is a sadist.
lol I was thinking this the other day.Is it just me or does anyone else think Meadows has like a vintage look to him? In his YouTube videos he looks like he could easily pass for living in the 70's or 80's lol
No doubt! I had a family situation last night so I have to hit the gym tonight and tomorrow. At least the gym should not be as crowded tonight which is a bonus.Ahhh those DOMS. Feel the pain!
Yeah especially with his chops. LOLIs it just me or does anyone else think Meadows has like a vintage look to him? In his YouTube videos he looks like he could easily pass for living in the 70's or 80's lol
Thank you Sir! Would be a great switch coming from GVT for certain.lol I was thinking this the other day.
Kleen you are killing it dude... might be my next routine, after GVT is finished kicking my ass

Idk about those chops man. He is one ugly dude! I feel like he's way too big to really have the golden era look to him.No doubt!

Oh, no his physique is far from classic era. I think the chops, and just his hairstyle in general makes him look like he is stuck in the 70's stylistically.Idk about those chops man. He is one ugly dude! I feel like he's way too big to really have the golden era look to him.
I think he kind of looks like wolverine..Oh, no his physique is far from classic era. I think the chops, and just his hairstyle in general makes him look like he is stuck in the 70's stylistically.
Thanks, I am pushing it as much as I can right now. I have some work to do to get back to where I was 6 weeks ago before my back went out. I am hoping that everything is all healed up. I have legs tonight and it will tell me if I am going to be able to push hard on lower body. I really hope so, as of right now the only thing that seems to cause a problem is jogging the next day my low back gets kind of tight and piriformis has a bit of a sting when walking. So going to see how the leg workout goes now when actually pushing pretty hard.Rockin the weight in here. You have to be walking around sore as heck though! Looking forward to seeing the results!
Welcome Bro! I love the Meadows Stuff. I respond well to it and he strategically places exercises in order to avoid injury which is something I need to do as and up and coming Old Fugger. Yep thats a shout out to DreamWeaver !In bro, but definitely not caught up (yet).
I need to pay close attention to your Meadows routine. I was intrigued when Montana was doing it, but didn't really put forth much effort with it other than stealing an exercise here and there.
Thanks Monte!Nice! Still holding the shape my friend. Not far off from before at all. Now get your ass in mine and Steve's log.
Thanks Troop! I went back and looked and I am about where I was bodyfat wise as I was 6/10/13 but a little over 3 lbs heavier. So you are right better than I thought.I don't think you're back where you started. I think you're still ahead of that, as your abs are still clearly visible. It's good to see that you're in good spirits, even considering the minor setback. All the reading I've done on meadows' stuff leads me to believe it's going to work wonders for you. Keep that back fresh and all will be well.
Thanks Luke! I am notorious for being hard on myself. I think all of us can be. Bodybuilding, or Physique enhancement in general requires a very self critical aspect. Keeping the balance of appreciating ones progress and recognizing where more can be made can be a challenging task.Abs still visible, serrated still poking through, I'd say your still in pretty good shape there kleen. Shorter, heavier and leaner than me still!
Shhhh, don't tell the Queen. She is the only one allowed to stretch my ass out. Normally by planting her foot in it.Sweet! Pre-workout foreplay!
