Back again.

Starting today with my coach to get ready for next show.
Should be a breeze. Diet starts Monday, but carbs will remain high to keep size on and maximize my rebound. All carbs will be around my workout. Cardio will be 4 times a week 30 min each.

Today I will be working out solo for shoulders. Going to give those delts a hurting and bring back in some upper chest at the end.

Then finish with 45 min cardio. Oh yeah.

Tomorrow, I will have an early session with a client and he's a beast so it should be a blast. We're hitting back with a new routine for him but one I ve used for a while. I will bring in striatus and finish with some deads and shrugs. Should be a good 1.5-2 hr routine.

My diet today will be pretty damn clean. 125 carbs 250g protein and 30g fat. So only about 1800 cals.

Tomorrow, it will be a high carb day. I planned it that way. Not only killing back, but we are having a pizza party for my sons b day. And I haven't had pizza in about 4 months. So I will probably eat about 1/2 post workout. Lol. I will make sure to do some night time cardio after the party. Probably go for an hour walk, son is getting a new bigger bike and for sure he will want to go ride it.

Post back later
 
Very detailed man. Keep up the good work. Pics look awesome!
 
Wow you go low cals ... I am at 2250 and 2 weeks out getting ultra shredded. I'm an endo too.. at least I used to be, now I'm just a freak :)

I am pretty active though that really factors in as well. I walk about 60K a week just commuting. Oherwise I would be lower too.

Yeah. Today very low on cals. My normal is the 2200-2500 mark for maintenance. But since yesterday I flooded some sugar in and tomorrow pizza I needed to balance a bit. Also keeps the metabolism hopping around.

Tomorrow will be around 3000 cals due to a beastly workout and sins b day. He will make me have a try of all his sweets. We aren't doing a cake but cookies instead. So he will force one on me.

My macro goals are 300 300 60 for tomorrow. About 500-600 over maintnance. Where I was about 400 under today. May e even 500.

But that's is. Back to the grind for 6-7 weeks and peak week. Should lean out fast with a nice diet.
 
It's go time!


Back baby. Keep it wide and deep.

I can really feel the PX black right now, just woke up took the PX black, got a little bit of food in me just enough to cover my sups. Now going to hit the gym, feeling really good, I mean really good.

One thing for sure is my mood has been great. I have been very happy and talkative lately. Good thing. A lot of times I just want to be left alone and shy away from people to focus on me. But as of late, everyone has said how happy I seem.

You really cant beat the mood enhancement of PX Black. It really shines in that aspect IMO.
 
Today, I had to get up early to go train, it was a shoulder routine for a bb client. Added a few new exercises to his knowledge bank.


Reverse over head press arms in front. (Hits the front delt nicely)

Added some lateral delt exercises. He is maturing nicely. Starting to cap but needs to keep the side growing with the front delt.

Reverse incline bench- as a finisher.

My back was hurting from yesterday while trying to teach form.

Yes I have done some calorie cycling too. It wasn't till I was 8 weeks out Steve insisted I get more steady with the cals and started just cycling the carbs which worked shockingly well. I used to diet more like this but when I went IF I got away from it. I can only be this strict in contest prep so it's back to IF after I am done to maintain a lean physique.

That works very good on me too, I seem to respond very strongly to it and don't build up all that much tollerance to it.

I really want to give IF another shot. I tried it and it really messed with me, but I think it was bad timing for me too.

I tried it and just couldnt do it. I looked like crap too. For some though it works out extremely well.
 
Got off work this morning at 6 am and I has to run to Daytona to meet with a buddy and trade off some supps.

Got back about 10- 1030. Went to sleep about 11am. Slept till 2pm. Got up and had to go do a chest workout with a first time client.

Incline db press- 1 warm up, 5 sets of 5-8
Champaigns- incline db press with weights touching- 3 sets 10
Hammer strength chest press flat- 3 sets 12
Hammer strength decline press- 3 x 10
Chest fly- superseted with modified version till failure. 3 sets
Weighted Dips- 45lbs 5 sets failure super setted with close grip push up.

Calves- standing calve raise
Calves- seated hack squat calve raises
All till failure

30 min stair stepper.

Diet consisted of about 200-225 carbs. About 250g protein, and 45g fat so far. 1 more meal left.

Thinking chicken breat and broccoli and calling it a day.
 
Going to head in to the gym for a fasted cardio session.

Knock out some up hill walking and then tan.


Come home, NAP, and then hit back. My kind of day.
 
Just finished fasted cardio. Felt great. No fatigue. I took 2 PX black and 2 ALC CLA on an empty stomach. Only followed with Endurance BCAA also two servings.

I was hesitant because I normally eat after taking PX Black. But there was no ill sides. I felt terrific and energetic. No shakes, upset stomach or any other sides when taken fasted with BCAA. That's a huge plus.
 
How are you liking the "feel good" aspect the PX Black sofar?

well I didn't try it, and never will
and vast majority I see who do it, do look like crap
sorry, just my .02, I am adamant and always will be that it's not for bodybuilders -- let alone anyone else really, either
:thumbsdown:

That is a major plus. I really have felt great since starting PX Black. It has really set my mood to a "feel good" all day kinda guy. I have steady energy, good moods, long intense workouts, good recovery, no bodily issues, no sides.

The creatine has been great, the PX Black has been beyond great in the area of mood and energy support, focus had been adequate to say the least. My weight is slowly rising as a result of creatine, but leaness is the same. I have heard from plenty of people how lean I look. Very surprising come off of comp a week ago.

I will do a two week eval comming up with photos.

When I did IF as a trial just to see what the hype was about, I turned into a BCAA drinking a$$ hole all morning till about 2 where I would over eat my 1st meal. I just wanted food so bad.

I'd also piss every 10 min from all the liquid I took on each morning. I would drink water 28oz shaker BCAA 28oz shaker back and forth till 2. Probably 6 shakers or more each morning.
 
"hype" is right
bastardization of the whole idea abounds..combined with LG (uggh), it is popular because ppl think they can eat whatever they want - so long as they fit things in a nice tidy little timeframe or within certain set amount of macros

imo, these "protocols" have set the understanding of dieting, and the industry in general, backwards by ~20yrs

mark my words - the fad and the hype will pass at some point..
cannot come soon enuff for me :)

Oh i completely agree. I tried it due to the fact that my appetite gets rediculous and usualy when i hit up one big meal my appetite reduces. Not only was i miserable the first half of the day, i looked like crap haha.
 
Great day so far.


Woke up, took my supps and ate a small meal, pre gym. Ate 1/2 cup oats with Splenda and 5 oz chicken

Went to gym alone with pandora and my headset. Hammered out an epic arm workout. Muscle were so full and big. Veins every where.

So many comment about how big I look right now.

Creatine is starting to volumize cells. I look much fuller then a few days ago. I actually look big.

Thanks snags. I laugh cuz I tried it hated it and looked horrible. Told my coach (who I wasn't using at the time) and he said " if you ever want to go anywhere in this sport LG/IF will not get you there."

This was me plus not only would I over eat my first meal I literally couldn't control my hunger. BCAAs did nothing for my lightheaded/sick/cold feeling throughout the day. I literally couldn't control my eating. Yet that dude preaches I'm a bro science idiot for eating 6-7 meals a day. Lol

Late post. Worked a little late last night and got off early this morning. Slept in a few hours, woke up, ate, then trained.

Not a bad session either. Hit a little chest and back with a newer client. Just from the easy paced workout, I felt a little sore when I left. After training I did about 15 min of posing with the client.

Diet today was good until tonight. The wife baked cookies, but I passed. Then aye a bowl of cereal. It sure was good. Other then that my over all cals were not very high today bc I slept in.

I have a training scheduled with two clients I. The morning. So I will post back more tomorrow. Need to grab some sleep. Ones a bikini competitor/model and the other a body builder. Expecting to hit the second session like a beast. I really enjoy our workouts.

Energy has been good, even with little a sleep

Pumps have been good. I eat a large portion of my carbs prior and during my workout.

Strength has been very strong and increasing.

Overall I am very satisfied with my weight I put back on. But it will be gone soon to shred up for contest. Next week in plan on bring a 1% of bf off an the same the following. Then the real fun starts. Pics to come this weekend.

I will take off my shirt for ya.

Then back down starting at 20's. going back down I alternate rotating on my toes inward and outward.

No cardio today Was scheduled to, but I was tired.


Once I got home, did some house work and the wife and I went out to a dinner and movie. Ate some Olive Garden, kept it semi clean. Grilled chicken Marsala with grilled veggi's. but I broke down at the movies and shared a popcorn with the wife. I had to. I told her before last comp we would go out and have a good meal and a movie with popcorn and candy. So I ate some popcorn and a few raisinets.

Sore, Sore Sore....

Sunday I trained Delts with a client and woke up Monday morning Sore. The delt workout was probably one of the best workouts I had in a while.

Monday evening I had to train a you HS client in Chest. I was dreading it all day.

We got in later in the evening, started with dumbells. From the first set to the last set, every vein in my delt, tris and upper chest was coming out. Even with the increase in body weight, I am getting more vascular.

Yesterday was a terrific workout.


Chris, another AM member came down from New York, (Cszwalscky) and we crushed som legs

Squats 10 sets of 10 --- killer

Crushed a few ham exercises and then some hack squats before destroying calves.

I woke up this morning with vein everywhere in my legs and calves.

My diet was pretty clean.

Chris and I did go out for dinner after legs. We went to this Cuban cafe that is insanely good. Ate some grilled chicken with onions and a cup of rice with some black beans. Needed a hearty dinner, I was exhausted after legs. But well worth it.

Today I am feeling yesterday's 10x10. It's a great feeling.
 
Ok. Lets recap today.


Some up sore. Took some PX Black, ALC CLA prior to food.

Ate me 10 egg whites and 1 cup oats

Played with the dogs for about 30 to 40 min and left for the gym with a scoop of humapro. Decided to walk for cardio. Did uphill walking for 55 minutes at 15% incline, had to start off slow and work up to a nice pace.

After cardio stopped by work and finished up a few things. I then took lunch to the wife and ate a spinach and chicken breast salad with red wine vinegar.

Afterwards I went back home and rested up for my evening training sessions. Took second dose of PX Black and ALC CLA just before eating some egg whites and chicken breast.

Before hitting the gym I had a homemade pre workout shake with a concoction of sups. Had 50 carbs 28g of protein and serving of BCAA plus a few other adatives.

I had one client, a young kid. We did a push pull routine with chest and back. It's nice to see my clients growing. He has really been working hard.

I pushed myself on flat, decline, and flys. I was exhausted before going to back. We hit some rows, pull downs, and mts low row. Then we finished the day with dips and pull-ups. Back and forth till failure. It was pretty solid.

After the gym I ate a nice big chicken breast with some spinach bell peppers and onion. Very good. I had some waxy maize with humapro before wrapping up the workout so no real carbs for dinner

But I feel good now. Well worked out.


Tomorrow I fly out to DC for the week. My hotel has a decent gym. One of the few that has free weights and machines. I plan to get at least 3 solid training sessions in. With a bunch of cardio and great diet. Keep up cutting while out of town.
 
Feeling great today. Woke up took my sups. About 25 min later ate breakfast and now I feel great. Full of energy and just a overall feeling of well-being. Thanks PX Black.

Crea Trona really has me expanding muscle and strength. Didn't mention this yesterday but after warm up on flat bench and 1 set of 225 for 12. I stretched and hit 300 for 5 sets of 6. Felt light.


Really feeling good.
