AI Sports Nutrition kicks ass By John Smeton

[John Smeton]

Good stuff and yeah after about 3-4 days straight of Perform I have to switch from boxers to boxer briefs, the "free movement" in boxers is just asking for a 6th grade boner experience it becomes so sensitive and ready to go.

I don't know if I will get around to making a video but if I do this weekend I will add that posing tip into it.

I hear you Perform is crazy! Only use it when needed. I don't like to use it too much. A honeymoon or vacation is ideal or when you want to please the wife/girlfriend 5 x's a day.

Great work John.

Thank you Don

Yah I understand holding off on the testopro when rehabbing to avoid unwanted motivation. That kind of drive will suit you better later....

agreed. I want to push harder than I need to right now, although I wont allow myself

Its makes you want something that much more when you once had it! (in my case moving heavier weights)

I am making piece with the fact that I can't lift heavy like I used to. This is being made easier to take when I see the physical changes I am undergoing....

I am not because Ive worked so freaking hard all these years to be large and strength= largeness. If my shoulder says no I can only obey it. Luckily I have a feeling I will be able to lift heavy very slowly over time adding like 5 lbs or 2.5 every week to stuff like chest and shoulders, maybe even slower than this depending on how it feels. This means itll take months, a couple or even three or four or however long it takes to be back where I was before this all started.

What flavor are you taking?

I was taking Red Raspberry and it is great. Currently, I am taking the new lemon and think I like this a bit more. Both are excellent . Have you tried the pink lemonaid Maniac? if not give me a pm and Ill try and get a sample out to you

*I had to say now that i have been though twio major injuries with these being my worst I can truly appreciate lifting again. I am progressing nicely and focusing on the squeeze more than just moving weight, which i used to do. I am planning on working out this way; although Ill move much less weight, I wotn be using my tendons and joints while targeting the muscle more.*

Ive come to accept the fact my body can not take the way I used to train. Having said all of that, I still believe I can train heavy and have no major injuries and still build a physique I desire. All of us guys who have been though injuries of some kind , Doug, chris, Myself all these discussions about how to train properly to prevent injury is great talk and I really took notes over the could years weve been interacting. I am sure there is much more we can all learn to prevent injuries

 

[DreamWeaver]

Yah bottom line is that it's simply not necessary to overload and lift heavy like we used to, my results with lighter (progressive) lifting has been more than satisfactory.

 

[MrKleen73]

Yeah and the cool thing about the starting lighter progression is that your goal is to progess slower allowing more time for the joints and tendons to adapt to the stress. There are still some PR's in our future, just slightly different form or slightly shorter ROM, and less aggressive jumps in weight. I should have already moved to 1-2 lb increments but have not had to as of yet with the 1-Andro really adding some strength recently. However I will be getting my stuff together soon to be able to do it. I tried a while back but didn't have time to wait on a Home Depot guy to come by and cut the chains. I will go to ACE hardware next time much faster service since a smaller store.

ace used to be very popular in my area, recently they have closed a bunch of them-very few are left now. loew's and menards are the big guys here.

 

[John Smeton]

Chris, How do you make them 1 lb increments on dumbbells and barbells, if even possible with chains?

My Ortho thinks I need surgery. Talked with him today and he reviewed mr MRi again. said something about laral tear,which the first MRI showed but the second dye injected one didnt. If ART and going slowly does not work I have an important decision to make. Right now though with the lighter weights I am using it is working

Today 6-29-2011 was a 30 min run am first thing and a 30 min walk pm-Busy day -busy tomorrow as well..bedtime. I tried a 3z sample it is simply awesome for sleep. Puts me to sleep faster than hghpro..hghpro is more of a gh releaser in my opinion.


I recommend Checking out the JUly 1st though 5th sale at AISportsNutrition.com and use Xmas50 for 50 % off plus you'll get a free sample kit and a T shirt

gonna get me some of that lemonade recoverpro, nice deal!

 

[John Smeton]

gonna get me some of that lemonade recoverpro, nice deal!

Indeed Tom. I think youll enjoy it. The new sleep product 3 z is nice. -Great Sleep on it-better than hghpro in my opinion . I do feel a bit drowsy upon waking and could tell I was on something the night before

6-30-2011 Shoulders triceps, skipped calves as they are looking pretty good

Standing side laterals 20lbs=12x's, 25lbs=11,10,12,10
Standing bent over laterals 20lbss=12, 25lbs=12, 15 (reason I don't hit these hard is they are already good and they get hot hard on back)
seated dumbbell press 45lbs=12,12,10
*light shoulder stretch*

Triceps
Rope pushdowns 100lbs=12x's, 12
Nautilus chest machine -close grip bench -only doing last part of movement at the top as that activates triceps , any further down its chest *tip from Charles Glass 100lbs=15, 110lbs=13, 120lbs=10
Lying triceps extensions 75lbs=8,8,8

*although I am not even going what i consider heavy form is slow and under constant tension, no locking out as I feel that is bad for the joints, Things are looking positive for my recovery. I am starting to fill out some more muscle even with these lighter weights. I am so thankful i can lift . My progression will be very slow and if I hit any sticking points Ill get in an analyze and take appropriate action. I get ART tomorrow =)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhsbKvSgbcc heres the video I got a lot of tips from Charles Glass.

25 min walk before bed at night-its nice to walk outside in the quiet and talk to yourself-collect your thoughts, feelings, talk to God

 

[John Smeton]

7-1-2011 no activity

Got ARt-Chiro says he doesnt think its torn or it wouldnt stretch out as nicely as it does. he thinks its doing well

7-2-2011 Quads, Hams

nautilus leg extension 100lbs=12, 120lbs=12, 12
Leg press(closer stance) 4 plates=12, 5 plates=10,10
Hyperextensions- 8 x's
smith front squats 140lbs=10,10,10

Seated leg curl 170lbs=8, 170lbs=10, 170lbs=8
Lying leg curl #2-120lbs=8, #3- 120lbs=6, #2 120lbs=7 *as you see I do different lengths on the machines of the same weight continually putting different stressors of the same exercise on that bodypart
Smith sldl(Tom Prince way) 185=10, 225=7, 7

*Notes you can see I am not lifting one all out set like I used to. I still think High Intensity training is good stuff -at the right time. I simply wont do this type of training all the time- and I do feel it puts on a lot of strength and muscle*

Now a days since I am no young kid -30 years old
-warmup up a lot-I could be more specific-maybe another time or maybe Ill do a video on it
-I do not lock out
-I don't not bring stabilizer muscles into the movement example say I am in a good position on seated dumbbell presses I will not heave ho my body to get an extra 3 reps when I am fatigued in that position I am done--I used to just want to bang up as much weight and as many reps all the time ---not so anymore and thats what caused injuries.
-I do rehab shoulder work with the shoulder horn after workouts and the pectoral stretch for internal rotation

*I may be moving less weight and I care how I look and about my body holding up.* It has literally taken years to learn good form and how to do this and I am sure I can keep learning. I have made a big breakthrough recently and am confident putting these things into practice -never too late to learn

Hghpro 4 capsules
Perform- 4 pre workou--from now on Ill think ill use it before training-ever heard people taking viagra before working out? well I think this is similar and the gym workout seems to help focus that extra blood into a pump
Maniac- pink lemonaid mmm
recoverpro -5 scoops thus far
Stoked one capsule
Glycobol-two capsules

lol-i beta tested that stuff palo alto put out, turns out it was double dosed......went to the gym a day after taking it and had a pump out of this world. i think it was spiked with viagra or cialis or one of those.

aspire and aspire lite? I used aspire lite back in 2008 on spring break and it worked, also gave me a stuffy nose afterwards, unless it was from something else. Other people said they had stuffy noses afterwards as well so i like to think I was not the only one

I was chosen to beta test something from them some brown clear pills back in 2007 and they would not tell me what was in them so I ended up throwing them away

correct, they pulled aspire after finding a prescription ed drug in it, i think you are right that it was cialis.....imo this is what caused the downfall of palo alto labs.

Chris, How do you make them 1 lb increments on dumbbells and barbells, if even possible with chains?

My Ortho thinks I need surgery. Talked with him today and he reviewed mr MRi again. said something about laral tear,which the first MRI showed but the second dye injected one didnt. If ART and going slowly does not work I have an important decision to make. Right now though with the lighter weights I am using it is working

Today 6-29-2011 was a 30 min run am first thing and a 30 min walk pm-Busy day -busy tomorrow as well..bedtime. I tried a 3z sample it is simply awesome for sleep. Puts me to sleep faster than hghpro..hghpro is more of a gh releaser in my opinion.


I recommend Checking out the JUly 1st though 5th sale at AISportsNutrition.com and use Xmas50 for 50 % off plus you'll get a free sample kit and a T shirt

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ridgely4.htm will be a two pound jump but after reading it I came up with several ideas. A velcro strap and anything easy to put on it that is 8 oz will get you a 1 lb increase.

Well on the bright side other things will grow...

Oh yeah by the way John, if you do have a minor labral tear it is unlikely it will heal just become less inflamed until you work it hard again. That is what I had both times well the first time I tore my labrum to crap. Had anchors and stuff cut our of both the front and back. This last one was a minor tear probably similar to what you have. The part of my shoulder they operated on is perfectly fine. I am dealing with a strain in my rotator cuff now but it is not related to the surgery so recovery can be quick. I think my first surgery where I was torn up in there I repped 275 x9 by 10 months out which was huge for me.

Last night did a 30 minutes walk- I do these a lot of nights I forget to write in here that burns a good 200-300 calories

I am training a lot faster than I was-try doing this youll no way move as much weight..Im talking 60 seconds between sets..when i rest 3 minutes between sets I am much stronger

Chris I have mixed feelings for surgery because I have been large and in charge for a long time- 9 years at this size. Eho-hit -yeah p[robally-for me to go down now-money maygo down because I want be able to do what i do(take care of Grandma). In addition upper body will get smaller--this would be something I would not like to do -however my main concern is would surgery really work for me. My main concern would be to get surgery and it not work or even make things worse- yes I know a guy this happened to(dont know who his Doctor was) story below

I know a guy that we have trained 9 years ago and I see him time to time- he had shoulder surgery and it made him worse off. His is extremely bad and painful.
There are guys like you that came though well. I am just weighing my options. My chiro and ARt therapist says he does not think anything is torn or at least not bad and he recommended not to have surgery. I can lift moderately without much pain or clocking right now. I am testing the waters taking it very slowly by progressing up in weight s-l-o-w-l-y. I have hope that ARt works along with training sensible (not going balls to the wall every workout)
