Alright you South African Short Haired Tiger Monkeys got a couple days worth of updates for ya.

Yesterday I spazzed out all day because the phone was malfunctioning....shakes and all that stuff......or maybe it was the clen :) We smoked some HIIT in the morning with sled drags BUT! the damn football coach showed up early and told me I couldn't use the sled anymore. He wasnt upset but just didnt want anyone to get in trouble if something broke so ill have to figure out another way to swap up HIIT.

This was one of the most painful arm workouts ive done ever. Intensity is off the chain here this week and the body comp is continually getting better and better. Pumps are strong. Power is consistant to where i started so no dip. Vascularity is coming in. Very good things happening. Yeah were gonna turn some heads
 
Weigh as of this morning was 234.3 so down 21 lbs
 
Make a tire sled! It is 5-10 minutes of work to do. A tire, a drill, a u-bolt, a rope or chain and throw a board inside to hold the weight. Tie the rope around your weight belt or make a loop in the end of the rope to step into.
 
About time for some more nudez!
 
How much further you going to go?
Show ready or very close to it.

All my weigh in since starting cut

8/28 - 255
9/5 - 245
9/12 - 238.8
9/19 - 236.6

Big Carb load today and legs on tap.

Legs – 19 sets:

Seated leg curls – 2-3 warm up sets. Do 3 sets of 10, then let’s do a crazy drop set. On the 4th set do 10 again, then drop the weight and do 8, then another drop and another 8 reps, and then do 25 partials out of the stretched position. 4 total work sets. 110x10 110x10 120x10 120x10 120x10 100x8 80x8 80x25 partials

Banded leg press – Make sure you do plenty of warm ups. Do sets of 8 up until you are at a weight that is a challenging 8. Once you get there, stay and do 3 sets of 8 with it. Push to do more than you did last week. 3 total work sets. (Monster Pro Bands) 4 plates-8, 6 plates-8, 10 plates-8, 12 plates-8, 14 plates-8, 16 plates-8, 18 plates-8, 20 plates-7 (Using bands here is nice. You dont get overloaded in the lower back on the bottom of the movement and you really overload the top of the contraction. Great setup)


Squats – Do a few sets to get up to a hard working weight. I want 4 sets of 8 with a 3 second descent. No-*******. Nothing fancy here, just grind out the sets. Get to just above parallel. 4 total work sets. 225x8 235x8 245x8 245x8 245x8

Leg press – No this is not a typo. Go back to the leg press (with no bands), and put about 40% of the weight you can get 8-10 with on the sled. Do 1 set balls out. The minimum # is 40 reps. I did 4 plates and 52 reps. The first 40 I did nonstop. Your legs will blow up like balloons. 1 total work set. 6 total plates-35-10-8-4-1 didn't rack the weight but did stop to breath a little lol.

Dumbell stiff legged deads – Do 4 sets of 8. Work the stretch, your legs will be tight and full of blood. 4 total work sets. 50'sX8x4
 
Pumpkin spice bagels.. sounds good.

Definitely making progress... said it before, say it again - that back is wide
 
Yeah the bagels are really good but a one time kinda flavour. They could get old quickly.
 
Things will really pick up the next six weeks. Gonna be transitioning out of "wet" compounds to things that make ya sweat :)
 
Let's just say the ones I'm on rhyme with Rebecca, Best and Ana Fall lol.

And I'll be switching Trenton A, Minny while riding a ships Mast
 
I'm anabolic bi lingual so cool, how long will you cut?

Cut will last at least another 7 weeks. Im down 21lbs atm and probably and still quite a way off. Maybe another 15-20lbs of fat to go? Should put me around 210-215 stage weight.

Back at it today. Strength was VERY good today. I guess the full day of rest actually made a noticeable difference.

Chest - 14 sets / Shoulders – 12 sets / Triceps – 4 sets /Biceps – 5 sets

Machine press – Do a few warm up sets to get started. On these use a full range of motion with a flex at the end for 4 sets of 10. Flex hard, and the will burn and pump like crazy. 4 total work sets. 90x15 90x15 180x10 230x10 270x10 290x10 320x10 330x10 340x10

Incline barbell press – The only difference this week on the incline, is that I want you to bump your reps by 2. Pyramid up on these doing sets of 8 this week. Keep going until you can barely get 8. We’ll count the last 3 sets as work sets. Use continuous tension on these, no locking out, and take to 1-2 inches above chest. 3 total work sets. 135x8 185x8 205x8 225x8 235x8 245x8 255x8 265x8

Reverse band bench – Do 4 sets of 5. Use a weight you can get all your reps with ok! Also, this week I want you to then move your grip in about 1-2 inches and focus on triceps for 4 additional sets. When you do the tricep sets come down to about 6 inches above your chest and pause for a second before firing the weight back up. 8 total work sets. (Used smith machine for these. Bands wont rig to the benches in my gym.) Green Pro Bands - 315x5 365x5 365x5 365x5 365x5

Stretch pushups – Do 3 sets to failure. Keep your chin up, and try and touch your chest to the floor on every rep. 3 total work sets. 15 14 12

Dumbellraises – On these, don’t think front or side lateral. It’s kind of in between. So picture your arms coming up the 10 and 2 o’clock position, not really straight out front, and definitely not to the side. These will feel great. Do 4 sets of 12. 4 total work sets. 40x12 45x12 45x12 45x11+1

Bent over rear dumbell raises – Do 3 sets of 20 reps of swings. 45x20 50x20 50x19-----1
Supersetted with
Spidercrawls – Go up to above head, and down to belt level 3 times per set. Try and keep arms straight. Use short red band.
8 total work sets via 4 supersets. 3 sets up and down 3 times (freaking burning like crazy!)

Biceps 5 sets:Rope Curls – 10 seconds rest between sets5 x 10 + 30 partials thrown in on final set. 70x10 90x10 90x10 90x10 100x10 100x9-1+20partials+10
Triceps - Vbar Pushdowns 4x20 130x20 150x20 150x20 150x18+2 150x18+2
 
If you have access to a full rack at the gym you can place a bench inside and reverse band bench out of that. How everyone does it. But if it's busy you will be labeled the guy "benching in the squat rack" as most have never seen a reverse band bench
 
Lol fuk it I pay membership dues just like everyone else, so I will even curl in the rack. Howz youz likez mez nowz? Hahaha

You should see the stink eye the little other forum kiddies give me :haha:
 
30 day progress. Leaner. Little bigger. Going in the right direction. Invalid Link Removed
 
Back day!

Back/Calves - 18 sets/6 sets

Seated Calf Raises/Donkey Calf Raises
1 x 10-5-5 + 1x40
1x10-5-5 + 1x35
1x10-5-5 + 1x33

Chest supported Rhomboid Rows – This is an elbow up barbell row, but you have to have a cambered bar and be able to lean on a pad. Look at my YouTube video to see what I mean. You can really stretch on the pad, and with the cambered bar you can get the bar way up and really get an unbelievable contraction in your lower traps and rhomboids. Remember to keep your elbows up. 4 sets of 8 is plenty on these. 4 total work sets.
If you don’t have a cambered bar, do a chest supported row and emphasize the stretch and contraction for 4 sets of 12. (Did these on a FreeMotion Dual Cable Row Machine and they worked pretty well.) 90x12 100x12 110x12 120x12 130x12 140x12 140x12 140x12

Low rows – Do sets of 8 with a hard flex in the contracted position. Use a grip where your palms face each other, kind of close (same as last week).
Supersetted with 180x8 220x8 250x8 250x8 250x8 250x8
One arm latpulldowns– Hit 8 reps on these. Remember to lean back a hair, and drive your elbow straight down, and flex the crap out of your lower lat. Make sure your grip is supinated (palms up) when you flex at the end. You can sort of “unwind” your hand when you let the weight come back up and really get a good stretch. These are on my YouTube channel as well. 70x8 90x8 110x8 110x8 110x8 110x8
8 total work sets via 4 supersets.

Trap bar deadlifts – Work up to a tough 5 reps. Do 4 sets of 5 with it. 4 total work sets.
If you don’t have a trap bar – do heavy dumbelldeads. Don’t do these full range of motion. I want you to work the upper half of the movement. (Used a hammer strength shrug machine ) 225x5 315x5 405x5 455x5 455x5 455x5
Banded hypers – 2 sets of failure.Hold and flex glutes/erected.2 total work sets. 20-15

Standing Calf Raises – 10 seconds rest between sets.
10 sets of 10-30 reps.

Really good session today. Feel like im getting stronger and stronger even though the lbs are still falling off.

Sweating a ton at night. Sweating a ton during the day. Sweating all the time!
 
Man did you already move to Trenton, eh?
Lol nah not yet...that's the scary part. I'm already sweating a ton so I'm probably gonna have to sleep on puppy pads in a couple weeks.
 
You have made some great progress Montana!
 
Better sleep in the bath tub...! Looking spot on!!!

Pec minor dips – 2-4 sets to failure. Try to use some weight attached to you if you do over 15 reps. 2-4 total work sets. (BW) 4 sets to failure didnt count reps just went until i got stuck

Dumbell Bent over laterals – Do 1 warm up set then do 3 sets of 30 – full range of motion. 3 total work set. 15x20 20x30 20x30 20x30 (Did these in the traditional style instead of swings so weight used dropped a lot.)

Spidercrawls – Use the black short monster mini if you can, if not go back to the red pro mini. Go up and down a wall three times for each set. Do 3 sets like this.3 total work sets. (Red Short Band) 3 total sets

Immediately followed by
Dumbell curl – Do 8 reps on these with a 3 second descent. Use the Grip4orce attachments. I want you to use the same weight you used last week for 8, BUT once you do your 8 reps, then take off the Grip4orce attachments and do 6 more reps. 30x8 30x8 40x8 45x8 45x8 45x8 45x7-1 45x6-2
Do 5 rounds of the above after 2 warm up sets. 10 sets via 5 supersets.

Good session today. Arms were blown up and had some of the best contraction/mind muscle connections I can remember.

2 HIIT sessions this morning......one on the wife and one on the stationary bike :P
