breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

Hydrolyzed casein, highly branched cyclic dextrin, and Modern BCAA+. I just grabbed a bunch of bulk ALCAR and will probably use some pre and in the intra drink as well. I'll most likely use the GDA (or AP, or Recompadrol when I get some) before my pre and post meals, but hadn't thought about intra.

Empty into intra workout. You'll thank me

Coop says GDA post intense WO is a waste of $$ due to the body's partitioning capabilities being maxed out with the super high insulin sensitivity. I'd say a full dose 60-90min preWo with carbs. Many also like to take them with to backload their carbs prebed especially if they're going carb free for breakfast.

I think he's referring to MD for it's biotin content.

Yeah, I don't rush to eat post-workout though, as I'm getting a good amount of nutrition during training. There's usually at least an hour before I eat. During prep, 80% of my carbs are consumed peri-wokout as well (as opposed to ~60% during "off season"). I'm currently "saving" the majority of my carbs (basically trace carbs and greens prior to pre-meal) for the evening a few times a week, when training at night. It all revolves around my training.

Right on. I'm sure you'd get more benefit peri-wo if that's when your getting the vast majority of your carbs. I'm thinking the most benefit would still come at pre-wo carb intake as you'll be the least insulin sensitive here. I look forward to seeing your review of it. I've yet to delve into gda's/np's myself but I do find them quite interesting.

I'll definitely be using a GDA (probably AP) pre-workout as well. I've used quite a few and look forward to giving this one a try. I'll keep you posted on what I think.

I got in a chest/shoulder pumping session this afternoon (still at gym). I was actually training a 50 year old guy that had been asking to try some MD type stuff, so I decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. He’s been training for 35 years and is a trainer himself, so I felt ok about having him try a “pump day”. He’d never done half of the exercises and found it challenging, but made it through without slowing things down.


Machine Press (neutral grip)
60x10
100x10
150x10
170x10
180x10
190x10
200x9

-worked up with sets of 10 until failing to get 10 (with solid form)

-chest arched / good stretch / quick flex



DB Hex Press
50x12
50x12
50x12
50x12

-very hard flex / pause on chest



Pec Minor Dips / Band Over and Backs
Failure / 10
Failure / 10
Failure / 10
Failure / 10

-very hard flex on pec minor dips



Rear Delt Machine Flyes
80x30
80x30
70x30

-smooth tempo, pumping rear delts (no hold and flex)



Spider Crawls
3 (up and down wall = 1)
3
3



6 ways
10x10
10x10
10x10



Occluded Standing Calve Raises
30
15
15
15
15

-30 seconds between each round / wraps left on entire time

-I did these solo



V-Ups
3 sets

Machine Crunch
3 sets

cGMP aids glucose uptake which is how biotin works as well as reduction in FAS.

And I agree with coop, but taking it with your post workout carbs doesn't mean it's exerting its effect right there, but may repress adipogenic hormones 30-60 min after that "shake or carbs" when your meal is scheduled

Yes I was referring to the MD blend
 
I hit arms this morning for my final session of the Muscular Demolition program. There was a heavy focus on form and flexing (on bicep exercises), which beat up my arms pretty good. I have to work all day, but will try to have the workout posted by tonight. Here’s what I started off with:


Bent-Over Rope Pushdowns / Cable Curls: For the pushdowns, I was bent over at a ~90 degree angle to get more of a stretch. I wasn’t concerned about flexing and just kept a pumping motion going. The curls had a hard 2 second flex at the top. I held the flex a little longer than shown in the video on the following sets.

You def look like you've put on some good size, b-zy! Interested to see how the new GDA treats you as well, running low on mine.

Thanks g! Yeah, I've been happy with how my weight has come back. I'm still holding steady around 212lbs, but will probably see the scale start to move after this week's diet adjustments. I spent this short off season really trying to perfect my peri-workout nutrition, which I'm confident has helped my training, recovery, and progress. When I get deeper into prep, I'm hoping it'll be an even bigger help, as I plan on training very hard up until my competition. No more fasted training during prep.

I'll definitely let you know what I think about the GDA. Looks like it should be solid.

Can definitely tell you have added quite a bit of size brother. The triceps look wicked in the video.

Thanks brother. This is probably close to the leanest I've been at 210lbs+. My triceps have always been a big strong point for me, but are usually hiding. I don't even own a tank or any kind of sleeveless shirt lol.

Sure is. I have a few different old school hats. I've been rocking the Expos and Whalers lately (more a fan of the hats than the teams).

Nice .. grew up near Montreal (but in Ontario) so cool to see that hat. Whalers.... nice!

Agree with the others, guns are fully loaded man.

How is it that I'm leaner without intra workout carbs lol

I like them on a bulk but stay leaner without them.
Click to expand...

Would it be how much harder you're able to go with intra-carbs? I did carbs 60min pre-workout yesterday and got a few pr's with ease. I felt so much stronger, but today I feel like my fat stores are up a little bit. I'm still trying to figure it out...

Carbs are my friend, especially with the type of training that I do. I gave up on thinking about fat loss during training. You still have the rest of the day to create an environment favorable for it.

Yeah, a lot of people are surprised to see it lol. I'm not sure why, but I got to run around the old Expos field when I was up there for a hockey tournament. I remember running full speed and climbing the wall, pretending to make a spectacular catch lol.

Thanks wasme.
 
You see this breezy?

Also, what are your thoughts on Meadows Muscular Demolition 6 week program? You just finished it correct?

Nothing that we didn't know already (based off studies), just thought it was interesting as Meadows said what he thought.

I didn't even notice that was Meadows commenting. Makes sense though.


Edit: He comments more on IF and peri-workout nutrition in the "comments" section at the bottom.

Yup. I loved it and it's probably my favorite program to date. The intensity starts high and at times gets ridiculous lol.

It does get pretty hot in the summer in NE. What do you wear during then?

Lol thanks for noticing. I got rid of my "hockey flow" lol.

Yeah, it gets wicked hot :). I wear a t-shirt, unless at the beach. :cool:

I haven't started one yet but I've tried some of the exercises and incorporated some into my workouts. I love meadows rows!

What would be the cheapest way to get setup for meadows rows in my home gym? I've seen them on elitefst or w/e and it's $$$.

I could be wrong (Breezy will confirm this though) but I think the muscular demolition program is one of the more advanced ones. I would start with Reactive Pump or Program 3, the one I am currently doing as my introduction to Meadows.

Meadows rows and the one arm barbell rows are both great.

Similar to Pete, I have my bar pushed into a corner of my garage. I also put and old sneaker on the end of the bar (more to protect it from the concrete than anything). But I find it also helps hold it in place.

And never feel dumb man, we are all here to learn and share.

This^^^^

It's an advanced program, no doubt. Not everyone is advanced, many think they are but they're not. Meadows designed the advanced programs for national level and IFBB pro's! That's something to keep in mind for everyone following these logs.

It may seem harsh but everyone's here to help everyone out and I must urge most to take it slow! I myself started with the beginner program 2yrs ago, breezy as well if I'm not mistaken. 2years later I finally have my peri nutrition nailed and I thought I did years ago but I was dead wrong. The recovery and intensity is tremendously better now than even 8months ago.

Take time to learn, slowly incorporate things then begin as a beginner. There's a reason they don't like 14yr olds play in the NFL
