Avs Wings brawl in 97' McCarty and Lemuix. Still gets me jacked up thinking about it. Close second was the 98'

Damn right.. one of my friends live right next door to Drapers parents. He invited one year they won the cup for the backyard party was kick ass. (was the Lemieux hit on Draper that sparked those brawls - pretty sure anyway)
 
It's hard to top when the B's climbed over the glass at MSG and Milbury beat a fan with his own shoe lol.

Here's a couple good ones that I just remembered:

PJ Stock was the man

Lol yeah, the one with Stifler. I thought it was pretty funny.

80x10 (warm-up)
100x10 (warm-up)
110x10
110x10
110x10
90x10 (1.25 rep)

-kept hips jammed into the pad to isolate hamstrings better (makes a difference)

-last set: full rep followed by a partial rep was counted as 1 rep



Leg Extensions / Leg Press
50x10 / 270x10 (warm-up)
70x10 / 450x10 (warm-up)
90x10 / 540x10 (warm-up)
130x10 / 630x10 (warm-up)
150x10 / 770x10
150x10 / 770x12
150x10 / 770x14 (11 reps, 5 count, 3 reps)
150x10 / 770x16 (8 reps, 7 count, 4 reps, 10 count, 2 reps, 10 count, 2 reps)


-leg extensions: 1 sec hold in contracted position

-casually moving between exercises (no rush)

-leg press: worked up to a tough 10 that could be done without breaks and then added 2 reps each working set / no lockout (besides breaks) / feet shoulder width in middle of platform

-10 sec stretch on each quad after each set of leg press

-One more rep and I probably would've been found unconscious, having pooped my pants. :eek:



BB Back Squat
135x3 (warm-up)
225x3 (warm-up)
315x3 (warm-up)
355x6
355x6
355x6
355x6

-worked up with sets of 3 to a weight that I could do explosively for 6 reps

-Legs were a little weak, but explosiveness was solid on all sets. The chain work from the last 2 sessions definitely helped.



BB Stiff Legged Deads
145x10 (warm-up)
245x12
245x12

-25lb plates used for increased stretch

-done very controlled and deliberately: slow eccentric, pushing hips back and focusing on the stretch

Lol. I'm Hungarian and Irish :D

That's all Meadows' crazy ideas.

Here's a quote from today's workout:

"This week you are going to be doing your explosive work on a very pumped set of legs - with that in mind, enjoy!"

You know a lot of Hungarians tuned into Irish because of the great potato famine in Ireland. Pretty cool story actually.

Supposedly Hungary is a poor country and Ireland had the great potato famine going on and so the Hungarians went to Ireland for work but the Irish didn't want them to take all the work from them so a lot of the Hungarians changed there name to an Irish name so they wouldn't get caught. Sometimes that why you see a lot of last names that are the same but some have a Mc on the beginning.

Interesting. There's no "Mc" in my name, but it did lose a "z", back when my family came to America. It didn't help anyone pronounce it correctly though lol.

Yup!

I haven't tried either, but am very excited for both.
 
I don't think it was every Hungarian. My last name had a Mc at the beginning but when our family came to America there were so many that the made us drop the Mc. We then went back to our original Hungarian name, kinda funny.

This is something I really like about using a Meadows written program. It almost feels like he is sitting on the bench beside you.

I hear you on that. I watched Ducks vs. Wild in Minnesota back in Oct when I visited the states (first time watching) and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Game went into OT with the Ducks scoring in the final few seconds of it...

Same here. He does a great job coaching you through each movement.

Awesome. Live hockey is the best. The speed of the game doesn't show very well on television.

I think seeing hockey live is so much of a different experience than on TV because at the rink you get the whole ice in view and not just where the puck is. Thank god for HD TV though. When I was younger, I'd have to focus on the players movements more than where the puck was since it was so hard to tell on the old TVs

Yeah, it's really a different experience at the rink. My favorite thing to watch in HD is hockey. Most sports are pretty awesome though.

Just so I'm understand you correctly, that's the weight including the chains? 20lb chains?

That's without. I usually don't factor in chains or bands, but made that kind of confusing. The total weight was probably around 235lbs (at the top of the movement).
 
It's going to be long day. No time for the gym before work (was back at hospital), but I should get a back session in tonight. I'm saving my carbs for this evening, so I made some big, very low carb (<5g net) pancakes.

They were awesome and came out a lot better than I thought they would. The syrup is actually really good. It's my favorite product in the WF line.

I have a pretty tasty recipe for protein pancakes myself. Not sure they are any better but they are different. Def don't look as healthy either. But for anyone interested :

Protein pancakes
1/2cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/4 cup egg whites
1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin organic coconut
Oil
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp brn sugar
1/2 tbsp cin
Makes 8 big pancakes.
 
Definitely not as macro friendly as his in that his are pretty well pure protein. Sounds good if it fits though!

I hear a rumour of a Banana OEProtein flavour as well. Pancakes must be tried.

Have at it. The same ingredients can be used for a quick microwave cake (I put it in a big microwavable bowl and use 60% power for 2-3 mins), brownie, or whatever. I just blend those together whenever I want something fast and/or without carbs. You could add some oats and a little more almond milk and make the same things as well (baking works too if you have a few extra minutes).

They would've fit my macros, but I didn't start eating my carbs until a couple hours ago (450g).

Yeah, looking forward to it. It should mix well with most of the other flavors too.

I trained later than I have in over a year and it went very well. Strength was great and I felt fantastic.


Meadows Rows
50x8
75x8
100x8
135x8
135x8
135x8
135x8

-focus was on form while being somewhat aggressive



Chain Deadlifts
135x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
315+1 chain (per side) x5
315+2 chains x5
315+3 chains x5
315+4 chains x5

-explosive: reset for a split second and fired the weight up hard (no bouncing)

-These went up easier than expected. Explosiveness was solid on all sets.


405x12

-It wasn't called for, but I threw in somewhat of a challenge set. I was very surprised by how light these felt after removing the chains (and adding plates). I didn't start losing my speed/explosiveness until about the 9th or 10th rep. There were probably another 2 reps left in the tank, but I would've started grinding them out.



DB Pullovers
55x12
55x12
55x12
55x12

-lying on (not across) bench



BB Shrugs
275x10
275x10
275x10

-2 sec hold/flex in contracted position



Dead Hang
90lbs for ~2mins

-hanging from pull-up bar with dip belt+weight

-head tilted back



Banded Hyperextensions
3 sets to failure (15-20 reps)
 
I love your workouts. Despite being physique oriented there is never a lack of some serious weight being thrown around on certain exercises. Nice balance between isolation and compound movements as well. :)

Thanks bolt. That's what I love about them as well. They can go from some light DB work to cranking out compound movements with chains or bands. I couldn't be happier with the way that Meadows sets everything up.

I just grabbed some new bands today too. :)
 
1/10/14


Neutral Grip Machine Press
80x20 (warm-up)
120x10 (warm-up)
140x10 (warm-up)
160x10 (warm-up)
180x10
190x10
200x10

-split second hold/flex at lockout



DB Hex Press (without hex DBs) / Band Over and Backs
60x10 / 10
60x10 / 10
60x10 / 10
60x10 / 10

-hex press: 1 sec pause on chest / drive up and flex as hard as possible at the top / "smashing" DBs together throughout entire movement


1st set:

[video=youtube_share;WzUi2ryi5hk]http://youtu.be/WzUi2ryi5hk[/video]



Stretch Pushups / Band Over and Backs
failure / 10
failure / 10
failure / 10

-pushups: feet elevated on 1' box / hands on aerobic steps / chain across back / chin up / sternum lowered to and touching ground / back straight



DB Seated Side Laterals
10x10
15x10
15x10
15x10
15x10

-"ultra strict" form: no swinging or shrugging / lifting entirely with shoulders to eye level

-I was asked by a couple of guys doing side laterals, why I was using such a light weight. I told them that my focus was on form, which led to helping them work on establishing a solid mind-muscle connection (which can be very difficult with lateral shoulder movements IMO). I asked them to really concentrate on lifting (and feeling) the DBS with their shoulders, right from the start of the movement (no arms, wrists, traps, or anything else assisting). There are 2 points in the movement where I think the mind-muscle connection can easily be lost and other muscles/momentum start getting involved. One is immediately, when first lifting the weight and the other is about 1/3 of the way up during the concentric portion. I had them try being conscious of this and they were amazed by how little that they could actually lift when only using their delts. They first tried using 20lb DBs and both had the weight stall around 1/3 of the way up. 10lbs ended up being the perfect weight for them to perform "smooth", controlled reps, with strict form. Once someone (with bodybuilding goals) realizes that "heavy" is relative and muscle knows tension, certain movements start becoming much more effective.



DB Seated Front Raises
15x10
15x10
15x10
15x10

-strict form / raising to ~2-3" above eye level



Band Pullaparts
20
20
20

-lifting chest while pulling band apart / 1 sec flex and hold
 
Breezy, are you currently doing the muscular demolition program? How do you like this compared to the reactive pump program?
 
Breezy, I respect the fact that you stop and help others to make things more effective. That said, you do that here every day. I (and I am sure I can say WE) pick up something everyday when you post a workout/video/explanation. Thanks man.

Click to expand...

Yeah, there's about 2 weeks left. It's been great and helped get my strength/size up since my competition. I'm around 210lbs and leaner than I was the last time I weighed the same. Reactive Pump is solid too. If I remember correctly, I think it has a lot more supersets on arm and chest/shoulder (pump) days. Most of the Muscular Demolition sessions follow Meadows' approach of getting the muscle full of blood, hitting it with explosive work, getting a massive pump, and working the pumped muscle with a movement that emphasizes stretch. I believe RP (and the rest of his programs) has a similar approach as well. I'd definitely recommend either one.

Thanks for the kind words wasme. It really means a lot. I'm always willing to help anyone where I can. I wouldn't go around the gym correcting people's form though. The guys were genuinely thankful for the advice, which was pretty cool. Hopefully, I don't see them "throwing" 40lb DBs up again next week :D. It's awesome to hear that you or anyone else is benefiting from this log. Thanks again man.
 
I noticed they both involved hitting chest and Delts twice weekly. I think I'm going to do the twelve week program three, followed by md, then rp. Not sure exactly though
