Wake 0630hrs:
1-Reduce XT/3-Beat-Alanine/1-Multi-V
Felt good this morning a little groggy, but good. Made it through the day fairly well without being hungry and with no after fast break hunger. Sports duty was cancelled today due to weather so I got to start Kleen's Iron Warrior Protocol today.
Meal 1 1300hrs:
511 calories
-10oz chicken breast
-4tbs hummus
-1 piece Layne's cheesecake (with whey powder baked in)
-1 portabella mushroom
Pre-Workout supplementation 1600hrs:
1-Reduce XT/3-CEE/3-Beta-Alanine
1 scoop of Peach Tea Lit-Up
Training 1630hrs:
WW1: 2 Work Sets to Form Failure 6-8 reps, second Set is a double SSUF (Strip Set until Failure)
Ex. Warm-up Set, Work Set, Work Set > SSUF > SSUF
Flat Barbell Bench Press,195x8, 245x6 , 245x6 > 205x5 > 135x9
I got an awesome chest pump form this. I really had to push at the end for the 9 reps at 135. This was the first time I have used this protocol so Im still working out the bugs with weights and remembering/writing down SSUF reps...Ill get it.
Bent Over Barbell Row, 100x8, 195x8, 195x8 > 175x10 > 155x10
Great pump in the arms and lats here the working sets felt nice and challenging, and the SSUF sets demanded some extra will to muscle out the last reps.
Standing Arnold Presses (elbows should be back a little at end of movement and hands wider than shoulders to keep tension), 25x8, 50x8, 50x8 > 40x5 > 30x4
This is actually a new movement for me. I think thr 50lb working sets were a bit much, so I will go a bit lower next week.
DB Drag Curls, 25x8, 40x8, 40x8 > 35x8 > 25x8
These are new for me as well, but awesome! I wishing I would have done these earlier. The movement and isolation in this exercise is next to nothing Ive done in the past.
Leg Press, 360x8, 630x8, 630x8 > 540x10 > 450x10 > 360x10
I added an extra SSUF set here, beacuse it felt so damn good. I could barely pull myself out of the leg press...too good, never recieved a pump like this off this machine!
DB Step up with Knee Lift (each side = 1rep), 20x8, 35x8, 35x8 > 30x8 > 25x8
Really had to turn up the intensity here. I basically battled through to the end with these, I was pretty much exhausted by the time I got here, and dug deep to finish strong.
I changed some of the exercises to meet my needs. Kleen’s original plan is outstanding, and I would have followed it verbatim if my gym had been properly equipped. Again Im new at this so I need some tweaking to find the perfect weight ranges and percentages, but this is going to be one hell of a protocol.

Feeling Awesome! Lifting heavy today after two weeks of hyperfitness really was a nice change of pace. It seems that I really didn't lose any strength while using the full body protocol. Im looking forward to Kleen's Protocol and really hammering those heavy lifts and strip sets...as of right now The Iron Warrior is THE BOMB!
