breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

You da man breezy congrats
 
Just a formality this draft process was. Congrats Breezy. Never seen more a perfect fit other than LTL and PES.
 
Congrats! USP couldn't have made a better decision.

My current run with Mtn. Dog training came to an end today. I loved every session from start to finish and can't thank DW enough for getting me into it. It will probably be another week before I decide on a new program, but there's a good chance that I'll be going back to MD.


Seated Leg Curl
2 warm-up x20
140x15, x30 partials
160x12, x30 partials
180x10, x20 partials, 100x10, x30 partials


BB Squats (1.5 rep)
2 warm-up x10
225x15
275x9
315x6

-It felt great to get away from the Smith machine. It was a little more challenging, but not as much as I'd expected.


HS Split Squat (foot on back bar)
90x10, 50x8
90x10, 50x8

Here's an example for anyone unfamilar with the exercise:

Awesome run my man, you killed MD.

Have/will you look back at your workouts?

I did an holy cow, some drastic improvements for a routine not based around strength.
 
Those HS Split Squats give me an insane quad pump. Not as much of a stretch in the back hip for me tho compared to regular rear foot elevated split squats tho.

If you go back to MD you know to hit me up Breezy. ;)

Thanks again for all the help man.

I haven't yet, but know some solid improvements were made. I'm interested in seeing where I stand with lifts that I haven't been doing.

Yeah the pump is crazy. Same here, but I still enjoy them.

I think you'll be hearing from me soon ;)
 
Nice lifts breezy. Do you usually use Smith Machine for squats? For the most part I only Front Squat with it.

Interested in what you will do next for a program (:

Thanks boss. I hadn't used the Smith for squats until I started Mtn Dog. The 1.5 rep Smith squats were a part of the training.

Me too lol. I'll figure it out soon.

Oh okay. That makes sense then. I need to try those 1.5 reps. I've done them before for other exercises a while ago but never for squats. Pretty intense I could only imagine.
 
1.5 reps on squats...............MURDER. Haven't done them in forever....and I don't want to do them soon. :lol:
 
Nice job in here breezy.

Wanted to stop by and congratulate my brother on the rep spot even though I have plenty of times already!!! You deserved to be a part of a great company and either USP or PES would have been a great fit for you!

I really appreciate it brother. I'm excited for the opportunity to grow with a great company that I believe in.
 
I just saw my gym on the tv show Boston's Finest. One of the guys featured was shown training (boxing). I was actually there when it was filmed, but had no idea what it was for at the time. I'll have to go back and watch the rest of it (only saw a few seconds) because I remember being filmed doing HS dips. Maybe I make a guest appearance lol.

3/16/13

I weighed 216lbs (-1lb overall) this morning. I’ve been eating pretty close to maintenance and will slowly start lowering my intake tomorrow. I appear slightly leaner than I did a couple weeks ago.

I ran out of MBCAA+ a couple days ago, but should have more tomorrow. I tried a sample of SAN BCAA Pro Reloaded today and was a little disappointed. The flavor was blue razz, which wasn’t gross, but didn’t taste great either.

I decided to try the new OEP powder yesterday and was very impressed. I have a tub of Fruit Punch and it tastes awesome. I honestly thought the tatse was just as good as Alphamine, which is saying a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed the effects as well. Increased energy, mood, focus, and body temp were all noticed. The strength of these effects was what impressed me most. I’ve actually decided to use it in my upcoming cut in place of Alphamine :eek:

My CCCD Quest bars came today, and I have a new favorite flavor. I’ve already had a couple and am pretty sure that I’m not done for the day haha. I plan on putting one in some “ice cream” tomorrow.



I couldn’t give up the Mtn. Dog style workout for my shoulder session today. It was a good performance overall and a lot of fun as well.


Super Wide Grip Press
1 warm-up x10
95x15
105x10
115x7, 45x15 (bar)

-I’m still feeling these.


Heavy DB Swings
45x35
50x30
60x25, 35x20


Face Pulls
80x25
100x20
120x15
130x12


6 ways
10x12
15x10
15x8


Horizontal Press
5x12
8x10
8x8

-These are very challenging. Trying to keep your wrists in-line with your elbows is brutal.

Thanks dude. They were already "killed" lol. I probably should've held off, but really wanted to give them a try.
 
Those horizontal presses are intense.

Are you sure the new OEP powder tastes better then alphamine :D haha
 
Those horizontal presses look absolutely horrible. I must try them!

Yeah, I doubt I could use 10lbs.

Haha I seriously thought it was delicious. I'll have to try it a few more times, but my first impression was that it's just as good.

Haha I ran into the same problem. The db rack starts at 10lbs, and I had to go on a mission to find lighter weights.

Well gee, I'm going to need the pink 1 lb.ers!
 
Sick workout bud. I've yet to try those presses. I'm semi scared to lol

I'd like to hear what you think. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I've used 5lb dbs haha.

I know ;). I think you'll love it.



Haha I've seen some of your logs; I bet you could pull them off with the 5lbers as well.

Hah we'll see! I'll report back later this week...

I stuck with a lot of what I’d been doing for today’s back workout. The volume was up compared to the last few weeks, but I had no problem making it through with plenty of energy intact.

Dante Rows / Shrugs (HS Squat /Lunge machine)
180x10 / x15
200x8 / x12
200x8 / x12
200x8 / x12

-2sec hold on rows/3sec hold on shrugs


BB Row (rest-pause)
1 warm-up x10
225x10
225x10
245x8
255x7

-Felt much better than the Smith variation I’d been doing


Horizontal Shrugs (supported T-bar/2 sec hold)
90x12
115x10
125x8

Stretchers
120x15
130x10

Neutral Grip Pulldowns (2sec hold)
160x10
160x10

Reeves Deadlift (variation)
1 warm-up x8
235x9
255x7
255x7

-I’ve seen and tried several variations of these. Some are done crouching all the way down, others are stiff legged, and I went somewhere in-between. My goal was to pull almost entirely through my upper back, and it felt like I did a decent job (it was smoked). I actually didn’t feel any impact on my lower back or hamstrings at all. I still have room for improvement with these, but here’s one of today’s sets.

Thanks fu. I prefer taking those slow and concentrating on hitting my upper back. I'm still feeling a decent burn from them now.
 
Definitely have to try those this week!!

Is that a standard bar breezy? I though I saw meadows using a smaller bar for those. Just thinking out loud trying to remember what my tiny gym has lol

Awesome workout as usual.

They're pretty fun.

Yup. It's quite a stretch and my arms barely make it. I don't think Meadows has the wingspan to pull them off with an Olympic bar. He adds a shrug at the top of the movement as well. There are a few different variations you could try depending on what your gym has available.

Thanks bean.

My daily energy and mood have both been improved the last week or so. I believe Test Powder is playing a role in this. I'm sleeping great, which could also be a factor.

I dropped down to 2 caps of PowerFULL (from 3) and still haven't had any sleep disturbances.

Muscle fullness has been great. This is normal for me while using AnaBeta.

X-Factor may be causing some increased soreness. DOMS following the last couple workouts has been intense.

I got more MBCAA+ (Blue Razz) and Jack3d micro (Blue Razz), which both taste great. I combined them with FP Test Powder pre-workout, and it was delicious as well. I still have some Enhanced left, but wanted to try BR micro.



Today's workout was awesome. I tried some new variations and loved them all.


Cable Flyes ("free motion" machine/2 sec squeeze)
60x15
80x10
90x8
90x8

Fat Bar Incline Press (weight not including bar)
1 warm-up x10
140x8
140x8
140x8
140x8

Invalid Link Removed

-I don't know the weight of the bar, but it felt quite a bit heavier than a standard one.

-These were awesome. I immediately noticed less pressure on my elbows and shoulders.


Hex Press (2sec hold at top)
60x10
65x8
65x8
65x8

Example
[video=youtube_share;oL7Tb4ofKUI]http://youtu.be/oL7Tb4ofKUI[/video]

-These were great as well. The approach allows you to flex throughout the entire movement.
