TRAINING UPDATES



DAY 143


Non-stimulated cardio failed miserably, ‘cause I got an extreme adrenal shock when I nearly run over a brown-looking snake Invalid Link Removed :run: In Aussie land brown-looking snakes are not something you want to get even remotely close to. 1hr45min run+sprints.



DAY 144


* Amazing workout, total leg destruction. No decrease in strength or endurance despite lack of stims and alpha female enhancing supps :woohoo: Though I’ve noticed Prime abstinence crisis big time – the weight moved did appear to be awfully heavy x 1000000000000000 But I didn’t give up :twisted:

* The hardest thing really was to get myself moooovin’. I felt slightly lazy and unmotivated Invalid Link Removed
The rage did prevail, within first couple of sets, I am who I am after all Invalid Link Removed and pills or no pills, when I hit the weights I mean business ! Invalid Link Removed

Here’s how it went:

1. Walking DB Lunges

* 2 x 22lb 10
* 2 x 33lb 10/10/10/10​

2. Squats

* 110lb 10
* 143lb 10
* 165lb 10/10/10/10​

I was really happy with that, I felt I could have attacked my MAX of 176lb, but had to restrain myself from it Invalid Link Removed
this routine was not about maxing out but killing the legs….

:think: ….what on Earth happened to “active recovery” ?! :bsflag::icon_lol:

3. Deads

*150lb 10
*154lb 8/8/8/8​

Hammies were screaming at this stage and there was NO way to get the 154s to 10 reps. That’s OK though, destruction process working well


3. Smith-machine Sumo Squats
our machine has soooo much resistance it is not funny :grumpy:

*110lb 15
*130lb 10/10/10/10​

I have no idea how I pulled that out , but I can tell you I’ve been walking in a very funny way ever since! :lol:
DOMS !

 

[jakellpet]

How has your overall weight been DF?

 

[dragonfly]

Hasn't changed much since Xmas JKP, from what I can SEE, but I haven't stepped on a scale in ages.
Something I want to do soon.

Last time I did that my weight was up but BF% was up too, apparently 20%. You've seen my photos through this entire log, I doubt that at any point in time I've been 20%. Your thoughts ?

In regards to BF, I just used one of those fancy scales.

Using Home Body Fat Scales to Measure Body Fat
Body fat scales claim to measure body fat quickly and conveniently. These body fat scales use the Bioelectrical Impedance method to measure your body fat percentage. A low-level electrical current is passed through your body and the "impedance", or opposition to the flow of current, is measured. The result is used in conjunction with your weight and other factors to determine your body fat percentage. Unfortunately, your body's "impedance level" can be altered by many factors besides body fat. For instance, the amount of water in your body, your skin temperature and recent physical activity can all adversely affect the results.So only by following strict rules can you hope to get an accurate measurement of your body fat using these scales. The most important rules to observe in order to make a more accurate calculation of your body fat are:

Don't eat or drink for 4 hours before the body fat measurement test.
Don't exercise for 12 hours before the test.

Well, that was done in the gym after training

I need get my hands on some calipers I think. Without BF measurements, the weight itself means nothing.

 

[jakellpet]

calipers and those BF scales are B/S IMO - you look sub 15% to me -but I'm no expert of female composition guesimates.

the only true method is getting yourself scanned - it's about A$120 a pop though.

I have a something to ask you though: The last week at the gym I weighed myself on electronic scales at 93.3kg - before training.

On Saturday I did the same thing (diff. scales but electronic) and I was 95.3kg - same timing, preWO.

I don't think it could be fluid... not bloated, infact the opposite. ANy ideas?

 

[snagency]

LOL on the brown-looking snake bit! :lol: Ahh, I hate snakes..
Calipers are only as accurate as the person working them; but, that is the way to go. Body scans are a little $$ nutz. A 9-site skinfold if done properly will give accurate results.
My BF scale is worthless, but presents a guide for progress anyway. Mine read 183.7lbs, 6.0% BF this morning (BF only moves in whole % points). I think it just may be accurate today!!
Nice workout as always D, way to cage all dat rage! :aargh:

 

[thundergod]

Well, the PF most definitely increases LH, increasing T, increasing the process of aromatization. It COULD be a combination of a few things, and I don't know quite everything Dr.Fly is taking, so I'm not sure...and, we can't rule out training. Max-OT leads to increased T and GH levels probably more than any type of training!

When you're running a plethora of supps, it gets hard to nail down the culprit when something goes awry. :damnit:

DAY 145


* Cardio, 1hr only :run:, see, I am capable of behaving sensibly every now and then

* Actually legs were so shattered from the day before and so beating them up further would have been unwise indeed :nono:



DAY 146


*Woke up in a zombie-like state Invalid Link Removed, did NOT want to get out of bed Invalid Link Removed despite over 7hrs of sleep. That was an expected "drop-all-stimulants" side-effect. Something I'll have to deal with. I will NOT give up no matter how bad the cravings getuppy_dog_eyes:
NOOOOO STIMULANTS !!! Invalid Link Removed :banned:


On a more positive note:

* 2nd day after leg session DOMS revealed its REAL FACE Invalid Link Removed

Invalid Link Removed

* Well, that was no excuse to stay out of the gym. Upper body was sure enough ready for some destruction :sgrin:

* Had an awesome workout. It is amazing how far a bit of creatine&dextrose can push you following a looong period of starvation-based training :thumbsup:

* weight & volume were both up

* Will post details tomorrow 'cause I REALLY need to hit the sack as early as possible

Cardio needs to be cycled like everything else, I started with 1hr, built up to 2hrs and I have no intention to keep going further in the same direction, yeah sure I could do it but at the expense of what, LBM ? BIG :nono:

Have you started dosing AI yet? Or are you waiting a few?

Nicht. OXO was out of stock. I don't need it at the moment. As long as I get it for my surprise stack that begins 4th of Feb Invalid Link Removed

[dragonfly]

OK, as promised, workout notes:

DAY 146


CHEST, BIS& TRIS

​

1. Bench Press (2 warmup sets, 10 working)
2. Cable Curls ( same # of sets as ^^, 10-12 reps per set)
3. Narrow Grip Press ( 3 working sets, 10-12 reps per set)
4. DB Hammer Curls ( same as ^^ )

Basically the same layout as last week BUT :

 

[dragonfly]

…and, I still had some leftover rage in me so I added an extra exercise

5. Reverse Tri Cable Pulldowns (underhand grip; 3 working sets, 16 reps each)


Just to repeat for those who might have missed this, in addition to my usual staples

* pre/Intra workout:
20g BCAA

10g SWELL
10g BA
5g ALCAR
1AP

* I have added:
3 scoops (8.3g) Controlled Labs GlycerGrow
20g Dextrose / 5g Creatine / 1,5g Taurine/ 0.5g HMB

it !

 

[suncloud]

reverse tri's are so fun! especially because there's only 1-2 guys in any given gym that do them

 

[snagency]

Ooooh, me likes the workout Ms. Dragon! :biggthumpup:
And the artwork as always too.
Great session.

 

[Irish Cannon]

How can you possibly love anything that contains bulk HMB powder? Blech! I put 2g of that stuff in 3/4gal of water mixed with tons of other stuff, including flavoring, and that was the only thing that stood out in the taste. That stuff is SO GROSS! I'd love to try it, but I can't handle the taste...and it's not just a bad taste, that stuff lingers in your mouth for hours.

Recommended dosage for that stuff to see any effects is in the 5-6g/day range.

I have mixed feelings on HMB.. I don't think - by itself - it amounts to anything. Just mho here..
The only HMB I've ever seen any results with persoanlly (and here I go again touting these guys) is Beverly's Muscle Synergy. Fantastic product. Spendy as hell. And that's the extent of my HMB success..

 

[Australian made]

HMB was the first thing i ever tried when i was around 16 and i put on a good 20lbs over the 3-6 months. Everytime i jumped on the scale i was up a kg. Ive used it since and didnt get much. The taste is just so so bad, i cant even describe it.

 

[snagency]

Must be too hot in Australia right now for the Dragon to come out of her cave.. :lol:
Beastly temps down there I hear..
Just watched the Nadal/Verdasco match -- unfreakingbelievable! Nadal will be nice & tired now for my boy Federer to beat him!

We're going to the Indy Championships in Indianapolis this July, the only guy I know for sure who's in that tournament is Roddick.

[snagency]

It grows on ya Irish.. I never liked it when I was your age; I was heavy into baseball back then, and with my powerfull lefthanded swing I drove everything over the fence (just like in baseball, ahaa).. But the more I played & grasped the nuances of the sport, the more fun it became. Watching the strategy & skill levels of these guys today, with the speed of the game in today's era, it's really phenomenal what they do out there.

I saw Roddick play on centre court at Wimbledon a few years ago. Like Timber said, you cant appreciate the skill of these guys until you see it live. Im not sure whats more impressive, Roddick serving at 240km/hr or Andy murray smashing it back.

 

[snagency]

Oh for sure dude. I don't much care for Roddick, but his serve - it's one of the best on the tour.. Murray has a good game as well.
I wanna go to Wimbledon! :sad:

[VolcomX311]

I only knew of Andy Roddick because she was Mandy Moore's boyfriend for awhile, but I did know of Fedorer. The last time I followed tennis was during the reign of Andre Agassi, I think I was in 7th grade.

I've played tennis and I know how challenging an accurate AND STRONG overhand serve can be, and the outrageous amount of control it requires to send or bend a ball back, IN BOUNDS!.

 

[snagency]

Sharapova's hurt. :sad: I'm boycotting the women till she comes back..
Ahaa..actually, I'm really hoping Safina can smoke Williams for the title. I know, not too patriotic, but #1, I don't really care for Serena; and #2, gotta support the homegirl Russian!
Besides - how cool would it be for a brother & sister to each win the Australian? Marat Safin won it back in '05 (cuz Federer had an 'off' tournament).

I always thought it was funny that Kournikova was the most popular female tennis player for awhile even though she was whack.

IMAGE really is everything.

 

[snagency]

She was the most-downloaded female on the internet, period, for awhile during her heyday.
She was never really that good at tennis tho.. just fun to look at.

I've tasted way worse than that before Irish:
all bulk preWO mix:

Arginine Ethyl Ester +
ALCAR
Creatine Malate
Creatine Ethyl Ester
R-ALA (popped out of the caps)

all in less than 500mLs of H20 .... Invalid Link Removed

The Creatine pre-mix (Creatine Recovery Stack, MUSASHI, a brand we get here), I'm using has Dextrose + BCAA + Taurine + HMB. I bought it primarily for Creatine content and Dextrose when I decided I was going to add some extra intra-workout fuel.

65 grams (1 serve):
8g Creatine
5g glutamine
3g BCAA
3g Taurine
1g HMB

the rest is dextrose

I'm using 1/2 serve

WORKOUT UPDATES


DAY 147


* I have been experimenting… Invalid Link Removed

…with different BACK&SHOULDER workout routines. You guys would have figured out by now that the only consistent thing about my workout structure is – inconsistency ! :lol:

* I rarely keep the same structure for more than 2-3 weeks, keeps me motivated and keeps the muscles guessing …
:wtf1: is she up to now ?! … Invalid Link Removed … :run:


* What I came up with to start off, was a superset type of routine.
Each exercise:

1) 1 warmup, 4 working sets
2) Weight lifted: 70-80% of max
3) Rest between sets, 30-45sec
4) First 3 working sets – heavier weight/lower reps (6-10)
5) Last working set – dropset style/ high reps until failure (12-20)​

1. Narrow Grip Pulldowns sups
2. Military Press

3. Upright EZ-bar Rows sups
4. Lat WG Pulldown

5. Front WG Row sups
6. B-over Shoulder Flies/Laterals

7. Unilateral Cable Front Raises

8. Deadlifts​

* I know what are you going to say :fool2: x 1000000000 for doing Deads at the end, as if all that wasn’t enough already ! :lol:

* BUT Invalid Link Removed
I hated this routine ! Invalid Link Removed Too much machine-based work , after the first two supersets I was like at:, NOOOO, no more machines&cables, PLEASE !!!!!!! :no: Mentally machines just kill me uppy_dog_eyes:, I find them rather boring and unchallenging :saroll: :ntome:

* Basically I felt so unfulfilled and after doing my counting and realizing that 4 out of 7 exercises were NOT done with free weights :grumpy:, I felt it was my Dragon’s duty to throw Deads in, just for good measure !




DAY 148


* Experimental time again
* I wasn’t really all that sore from yesterday’s workout Invalid Link Removed, probably because I didn’t quite put 100% effort into it and hence, I had to come back to finish it off and try out a different routine that would enhance my self-destructive tendencies a bit more Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

* This routine was almost diametrally different from the one before (other than utilizing 30-45sec in between-set rest periods). Only 3 exercises:

1. Crunching DB Jabs on a decline (got to video-record these for ya TL

*2 x 22lb 15
*2 x 27.5lb 15/15/15/15
*2 x 38.5lb 5/ 5/ 5 /5 dropset to
…2 x 22lb 10/10/10/10
*2 x 27.5lb 15​

* 9 WORKING SETS​

* On my last set with 38.5lb DBs I almost dislocated my shoulder ! :lol:

* There was this :chick: size ½ Posh Spice doing laterals with 2lb DBs, staring at me, as if I was some kind of a Invalid Link Removed Later on she hopped on a treadmill, so she could burn whatever tiny amount of muscle was left on her Invalid Link Removed

2. Pendlay Rows

*55lb 15
*77lb 8
*90lb 8
*90lb 6/6/4/4 dropset
…66lb 6/6/4/4
* 66lb 10/10/10/10​

* 10 WORKING SETS​

3.Deads

*132lb 10/10/10
*122lb 10/10/10​

* 6 WORKING SETS, I was dying ! ​

* HAHA, Deads look pathetic (my max dead was 187lb 2-3 reps I believe), but that was the idea, at the end of 2-day back&shoulder annihilation mission Invalid Link Removed

* I think I would have shot myself if after all that ^^I found I could deadlift close to max

* CONCLUSION: I much prefer picking only a few exercises per body part and really smashing a ridiculous number of sets (as I've done with bench and squats in the past, 6-10 working sets), rather than doing “millions” of different exercises and only 3-4 working sets each. If you utilize big compound movements than there is no need for increasing exercise number, DEADS work ~80% of the muscles :thumbsup:



DAY 149

* REST & Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

 

[dragonfly]

Oh, and before I forget.

:hump:<--- me Snags--->:wall:

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to TimberLakers again

 

[dragonfly]

DAY 150


* During today’s workout the muscles were really going :wtf1: :fool2: :smileeek: :run:

LEG DEMOLITION

* Same routine as last week, because it worked soooo well


1. Walking DB Lunges

* 2 x 27.5lb 10 up in warmup weight (previously- 2x22lb)
* 2 x 33lb 10
* 2 x 38.5lb 5/5/5/5 dropset to
…2 x 33lb 5/5/5/5
* 2 x 33lb 10​

* Legs were totally shattered after this, I did an extra of 2 sets compared to last week (total of 6), and increased the weight to 38.5lb (as opposed to 33lb DBs, # reps same = 10)

* Rest between sets was really short, ~30sec, because I just wanted to get it over an done with ASAP. Why ? Because I can’t even put in words how much I hate walking DB lunges….but maybe this will give you an idea:

:soapbox: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed :grumpy:

No, I am NOT EXAGGERATING !

* The thought of what was to follow was making me uke:
Legs were shaking and :rant: … so ... I gave them more shock therapy :twisted:

2. Squats

* 121lb 10
* 143lb 10
* 165lb 4 this wasn’t going to work :lol: dropset to
…154lb 6
* 154lb 10/10/10/10​

:rofl: hilarious indeed, the be-hated lunges have definitely lived up to their reputation, last week I pulled out 4 sets @ 165lb, 10 reps eachHowever, to make up for this decrease in weight, I did an extra working set, :nono: easy way out, if you want to be an ALPHA FE-MALE you got to suffer the consequences ! :fool2:


3. Deads

*143lb 8
*150lb 8/8/8​

Numbers down of course, that was for doing Deads third time this week ! I really wanted to have them here though because this leg routine kept me in DOMS for 3-days last week. I wasn’t expecting to go heavy, at this stage I just wanted to kill my legs with the least weight required.


3. Smith-machine Sumo Squats

*120lb 10
*130lb 10
*138lb 10/10
*130lb 10​

The sumo’s were up in weight (last week: 4 sets 10 reps @ 130lb) WEIRD

TODAY'S WORKOUT WAS REALLY HARD, I was fighting the Invalid Link Removed in me from start to finish, set after set, rep after rep.

THE DRAGON PREVAILED

You and I both seem to share an intimate hatred for lunges...I'm fortunate that I don't need to do them to see growth or progress. Occasionally I'll throw them in just because if I don't I feel as though I'm a weak individual for avoiding an exercise just because it's painful. I would seriously rather do 10 sets of Squats than 3 sets of lunges. (notice I don't capitalize "lunges" :lol

Need to throw some Invalid Link Removed & dips as an obligatory :nono:-avoidable staples into this and then I'll have a complete demolition workout, YAY !!!!

Of course I like this! :thumbsup:
Huge fan of these.

NAAH, I've been busy Snag ! :clean: :dl: :squat: :saevil: and ...
Invalid Link Removed - ANTI estrogen therapy

...been working almost TOO WELL actually !

1. The two week due-period date passed on without a period :woohoo:
2. I'm noticing SIGNIFICANT increase in aggression​

Invalid Link Removed
3. Few pimples on my face, oh well ....
4. I'm finally dropping stubborn fat !!!! Invalid Link Removed
5. Bloating & water retention: GONE !!! Invalid Link Removed​

:lol: Wow, that's pretty dramatic..nice.

The latter is probably due to multiple factors, mainly increased water uptake and elimination of gluten from my diet (sucks, but I think I may be intolerant :sad

Could be; this is the case unknowingly for a lot of ppl.

Too true, the "natural T" has now been unleashed :

Invalid Link Removed <------- before

Those deads and squats are just getting nastier and nastier (numberically speaking of course :study...

I'm not sure what I would do if I saw a girl deadlifting some real weight at my gym... Sh*t, I'm not sure what I'd do if I saw another guy deadlifting. Everyone is such a pussy these days. If I had a dollar for every time I saw someone doing squats on the smith machine...:disappointed:

I'd actually like to start incorporating burn-out sets of Squats on the Smith Machine. It by no means would be a replacement for regular Squats, but just something to throw in a leg workout once in a while on top of my normal lifts. You can actually do some cool stuff with Smith Machines.
