breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

RegisterJr said:
Yeah, I'll stay where I'm at for now and maybe increase a little at a time once my BF is a little lower. I just got excited at the thought of being allowed to cut on that much food. :)

It's a double-edged sword. Being able to eat a lot while cutting is great, but the amount of food I eat while adding weight can be a hassle.

Go for it man. All you need is 1.5 scoops for 6 pb cups.
 
6/30/13


I’d been loosely following John Meadows' Reactive Pump training for the last few months, which has come to an end. I don’t have a new program lined up and plan to come up with my own routines for the time being. My training split will remain the same and exercises will continue to be influenced by Meadows. As my calories increase, so will my training intensity. Today was the first session that I came up with and it was absolutely brutal. I’ll be lucky if my legs stop giving out on me sometime in the next 4 days. :eek:


Banded Standing Leg Curl
20x20
20x20
30x12
40x10
40x10
50x8, x30 partials

-I rigged up a band on the standing leg curl machine.


Here’s an example, but my setup was different.

[video=youtube_share;F1q7dmbWwhw]http://youtu.be/F1q7dmbWwhw[/video]
 
Leg Press / Teardrop Busters
270x8
360x8
450x30 / 15
630x15 / 15
720x10 / 15
770x8 / 15

-Leg Press: narrow stance with feet positioned high to focus on VMO/teardrop

-Teardrop Busters: hack squat with narrow stance and (only) upper back on the pad/no lockout

-This involved a lot of pain. The pump from the combo was ridiculous.


Here’s my 3rd set of TB’s. These became much more difficult as I went along. I had to lockout before finishing the last 2 reps on the 4th set.

[video=youtube_share;NYF0wPLferY]http://youtu.be/NYF0wPLferY[/video]



Quad Stretch
1 min per leg


Leg Press / Partial Leg Extensions
590x10 / 55x15
590x10 / 55x15
540x10 / 55x15
540x10 / 55x12

-Leg Press: wide stance with toes pointing out (frog style). I paused for 1 sec at the bottom before exploding to lockout.

-Leg Extensions: working the top half of the movement. I flexed for 1 sec at top before lowering halfway.



Quad Stretch
1 min per leg



1.5 Smith Squat (deep)
110x12
200x6
200x6
110x15

-20lbs bar resistance

-I had originally planned on using a barbell, but could barely support myself and it seemed like a bad idea.



HS Split Squats (HS squat/lunge machine)
50x12
50x12

-I lowered my knee until it was just above the ground…and collapsed immediately after grinding out the last rep.

Those PB Cups sounds very easy to make!!! Going to make them very soon :D.

Awesome leg session breezy. I miss my leg press at my home gym in Wyoming. Cannot go heavy at all with the one I currently have access to.

I was also looking into Meadows Reactive Pump Training. How did you like it?

Yup. Easy, but a little messy.

Thanks man. That's too bad. Is it plate loaded?

I liked what I did, but changed a good amount of stuff. There's a lot of chain and band work that I didn't do. I'd do it again (correctly) if I get chains and more bands.

The one I access to now isn't plate loaded but my gym in Wyoming is.

I was thinking about giving it a go but may just take some of the exercises from Meadows and incorporate them into my own. I've always kind of made my own workouts anyhow.

That's a decent option. I'm currently doing something similar, but keeping all training Meadows inspired. Time to plan the next few sessions. :)

Not very sexy but they tasted awesome! Halved the recipe (trial run) and used Vanilla OxyElite Protein, GY, and almond butter. So they were vanilla almond cups. :o

They look good to me. :)

Good call with the almond butter. I'll definitely be trying that combo soon. Bob put a new recipe up, similar to the pb cups, but you mix everything together and make fudge (freeze on a tray). Vanilla almond fudge should be great.

Thanks wasme. My legs are feeling it this morning.

TBs look pretty devastating. One more thing added to the list of things to try. You never cease to amaze me breezy.
Click to expand...

Haha thanks man. They sure can be. I could barely complete the last set, with no added weight on the machine. If you try them, I'd add them at the end of a leg pressing exercise. The combo from yesterday was intense.

Great work my friend! That's very similar to my Incline DP pressing style!

Thanks bud. I like to change the approach pretty often. Today's focus was constant tension/getting a pump before explosive work. If I do these next week, it'll be different.

Couldn't agree more. All of my workouts are now officially breezy inspired in some way, shape or form.

Thanks guys! It's great hearing that you're getting something out of this log.


No gym or work today. I have the day off for a couple doctors appointments. I'm currently doing some fasted LISS on the bike at home, with OxyELITE Pro powder and VERSA-1 taken prior (I ran out of AP yesterday). I'm not using OEP powder daily, but will probably use it occasionally before fasted cardio (on my "off"/lowest carb day, usually once a week). I'll have an update on my supplementation within the next few days.

I'm not sure how much training I'll be doing the rest of this week. My uncle passed away last night and I'll be doing some traveling and spending time with the family. My time on AM will probably be limited for a couple days as well.
 
Sorry for your loss breezy. AM can wait you take your time bro. I've had a lot of rough losses this year as you know so I feel ya bro.
 
Sorry to hear brother
 
Sorry about your uncle, Breezy. Stay safe in your travels and keep your head up in your time of loss. This will all still be here when you get back.
 
Sorry about your loss, buddy!
 
Sorry to hear that breezy. Hope all is well.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

I'm gonna head to the gym in a minute before meeting up with some family. I had planned on leaving last night, but traffic was ridiculous after my doctor's appointment.
 
Sorry for your loss Breezy, you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers as we all lift with Breezy techniques over the next few days.

Sorry for your loss Breezy
 
I feel for you Breezy. Losing family is never easy. Life's a trip and time flies by us so fast. Keep your head up and roll with the punches big dog.

Well technically if someone is punching towards you you're supposed to tuck aforementioned chin but you know what I'm saying!
 
Hey Breezy... Curious what you think of the Seguin/Peverly trade... and losing Horton, Ference.

Not down playing your loss..
