breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

So, Breezy films himself squatting an empty bar and tells everyone how much weight is on there?

I might film myself pressing an empty bar and claim there are 500lbs worth of plates just out of shot.

Love one and a half squats by the way. I tend do do one and a quarter but they are awesome for quad development.

Is it more effective 1body part a day while on steroids winny stanazolo?? Help me please

 

[breezy11]

Yeah Neely was great - his career over well before his time that is for sure.. fn Samuelson

It's a shame....What a jerk lol.

If you look really hard, I think part of a 45lb plate makes an appearance lol.

I'd believe you

I hadn't tried them until recently, but they seem effective. Do you use a Smith machine or bb?

I'm not the right guy to ask. If you post this question in the anabolics section, you'd probably get some feedback.

 

[Jiigzz]

Thanks Jiigzz. I think the Smith machine and the 1.5 reps were the main problems haha. I should've set my feet in a better spot before starting. If I do them next week, I'll use a BB instead of being locked in awkwardly with the Smith.

Yeah i'm not a huge fan of smith machines because the bar isn't guided by your natural path of motion. In any case, the depth is really good, I typically take ages to warm up enough to get that kind of depth even with tonnes of hip mobility work and strecthing afterwards haha.

Thanks Jiigzz. I've never had a problem with depth regardless of how much I warm up. I should probably do more hip mobility work though.

Lucky for some. I stole some more ideas from you today and did the 1 and a half squats.. the first time in ages I felt like I could only crawl outta the gym.

Awesome man. Sounds about right lol. I'd like to try something new today if I can get to the gym.

Hip abductor and adductor machines work great if your gym has them (aka the bad girl machines)

Yup, my gym has a bunch of them. I haven't used one in years though.

Great thread if you haven't seen it for those interested in hip mobility (and way more in depth than I could go in a single post).

Thanks for the link bolt. I'm subbed to just about every thread that ZiR RED starts or posts in. He's extremely knowledgeable.

Yeah I get strange looks when I use them... Mainly from the other guys.. But those same guys are the ones doing 1/4 squats with 405 thinking they're doing something big. lmfao.

Haha. I wouldn't be concerned about any strange looks. I'm actually pretty used to it with my current training.

Yeah, I couldn't care less really. I always lol on the inside though

 

[classic34]

Jeez, 6 pages already?! I'm the same as you Breezy. As long as there's enough weight on the bar I can get deep regardless of stance width and how much I've warmed up. Lucky us.

Your pics look good. Super lean as usual...

I couldn't get to the gym this morning, which made the rest of my day a little hectic. By the time I started working out, I had been fasting for 17+ hours, but it didn't seem to affect my performance much. I'm currently eating like crazy trying to get back on schedule.


BB Incline Bench (ROM: 2-3 inches from chest/no lockout)

-The squeeze in the contracted position felt great.

-This was my first time attempting these and it went pretty well until my last set. My left quad cramped up after a couple reps, so I adjusted my leg (it didn't help), which had me a little off balance. At the end of the video, you can see me immediately going to grab my leg when I set the bar down lol. It's still a decent example of the exercise so I posted it.

Welcome classic! Thanks for coming by. Haha it's nice not having to spend half of your time in the gym warming up.

Thank you!

Thanks Fumoney. It was ok for some of it, but became a struggle to maintain when my quad cramped up.

 

[LiveToLift]

That cage press looks interesting. It seems it would be like standing military but slightly easier being you can use force toward the cage? Am I seeing it right? Lol

In any case let me know how it works I may give it a go.

Just got caught up nice job in here bro.

 

[LiveToLift]

That 1.5 smith squat would have me wrecked! Nice videos my dude.

Yup, you're seeing it right haha. It's actually a pretty tough movement. You stagger your legs for balance, push the bar against and up the rack, lean in at the top (contracted position), and flex your delts/traps.

You should try it out. I'll be doing them again.

Thanks brother.

Thanks again man. They definitely aren't easy lol.

 

[bolt10]

Haven't got a chance to do the cage presses yet but looks solid.

 

[classic34]

Breezy, what advantages do you notice with cage presses over smith presses? Is the main reason you do them because they can be performed standing?

 

[breezy11]

I dig em . They were a lot more challenging than I thought they'd be. I had planned on warming up with 135lbs.

Breezy, what advantages do you notice with cage presses over smith presses? Is the main reason you do them because they can be performed standing?

Yesterday was my first time trying them, but being able to stand was a plus. John Meadows has some great exercises/variations, which I've been doing a lot of lately. As I was telling bolt, they're also more of a challenge. If I did something similar (seated) using a smith machine, I'd probably double the weight on the bar. The added resistance from moving/keeping the bar against the rack was a nice advantage.

 

[fumoney]

Have you tried doing overhead presses in one of those squat machines ? Ours (i think its body masters at my gym) have 2 bars on top giving you a hammer grip. I do a squat then on top press it over head. You sort of press it upward and forward. I am liking it a lot. Of course you don't have to squat, but seeing I am still trying to cut weight, it was a good way to add intensity.

I love doing variations on presses.

I've managed to sleep through the night since the addition of PowerFULL, which is awesome. Another thing I've noticed is that I'm waking up (feeling great) between 6:15AM and 6:30AM every morning before my alarm goes off. It's great to get up on your own as opposed to an alarm "forcing" you to get out of bed.

I weighed 216.4lbs (-.6lbs overall) this morning. I might bump up my calories a little because I don't want to start losing much weight for another couple weeks.



Dante Rows (2sec squeeze)
1 warm-up x12
140x12, 90x8

-I'm starting to love these. They feel amazing in my upper back and provide a great stretch.

-Someone came up to me between sets and actually knew what these were. I was sure I'd be questioned about what I was doing lol.




I've posted these example videos before, but I'll do it again, considering it's a new log.

I have not, but I'll give them a try. I was looking at an incline press machine yesterday and thought it would be great for a shoulder press variation if got on backwards.

As do I.

Nice workout Bro! I like some of these exercises- very unique but effective. I might have to try those reeves deadlifts this week.

..nice workout Breezy... you have me sold on opening my bottle of PowerFULL tonight, as I have been sleeping like crap lately.

 

[Distilled Water]

Nothing like a full nights sleep

Thanks buddy. The Reeves deadlifts are a little awkward at first. If you give them a try, I'd suggest starting very light.

..nice workout Breezy... you have me sold on opening my bottle of PowerFULL tonight, as I have been sleeping like crap lately.

Awesome. If it works half as good as it does for me, you'll love it.

It's the best. Starting the day feeling fully refreshed is always nice.

It's a great product. I might give 2 caps a try tonight and see if I sleep just as well. I usually sleep better when using Test Powder, so perhaps I can cut back.

[kbayne]

Nice updates. Been checking out all the videos you've been posting. Some exercises I will be trying out this week that I either haven't performed before or haven't done in a while. Sounds like PowerFULL is really working for you (=. Gotta love that deep undisturbed sleep.

 

[bolt10]

I have several of the Powerfull sample packs...haven't broken into them yet. I used the old Powerfull bulk powder tho. Enjoyed it but wasn't the greatest tasting stuff. :no:

You can check out a bunch of the exercises at the below link if you'd like.

What are you waiting for? . I'm interested in hearing what you think. I haven't used the bulk powder, but am guessing I wouldn't enjoy the taste either.
