Montego an Snagency tag-team with FINAFLEX in the corner

Yeah slamming liquids and vit c. Not glutamine though :) BCAA+SAA are going down fast too. Can't seem to get any food down and when I do it's coming right back up.

Oh well. Recovery day since I "over train" so much :)
 
On my log I posted a video of someone leaking synthol from their shoulder and got kicked off stage. Just YouTube it. Synthol is creepy stuff man but some of those pros are on it.
I like TigerFitness's Marc Lobliners take on it. He thinks synthol should be allowed on the pro stage because it's the same concept as all of those women bodybuilders who obviously get implants. Synthol does have some success if not abused but google probably only shows it's mishaps.
 
Scared... Steve, you are going to be a SHREDDED BEAST
 
ahahaa the kracken
I'm feeling about as old as the kracken this morning lol, lemme tell ya..
nice early evening yesterday, but rough night, whew

Speaking of The Kraken. I feel like I went twelve rounds with one last night lol. Feeling pretty rough but gonna make it to the gym anyway.

The pace of those arm workouts tend to surprise you with how much they get the metabolism moving.
 
Arms - Biceps - 15 sets & Triceps 16 sets week 5:
Endurance was down today. Got burnt out very quickly on each exercise and strength was down due to being sick. Worked through it and sweated like a pig. Nothing spectacular but it was a good session with all things considered. Hopefully I sweated some of this sick out.

V-bar pushdowns - 3 sets of 12 to warm up.
60x12
80x12
100x12

V-bar pushdowns – Pyramid up on these. Reps should be 15, 12, 9, 6. est 30 seconds between sets.
4 total work sets.
120x15
140x12
140x9
140x6

Seated dip machine – Do a 3-second slow descent/negative as you allow weight to come up, then drive it down and flex for a split second before coming back up. 5 sets of 8 reps. Rest 30 seconds between sets. 5 total work sets.
270x9
320x8
320x8
320x7
320x6

Triangle pushups – On these, I just touch my thumbs together and first fingers to form a triangle and go to failure. If you can’t do it this style, just brings your arms apart some and do these. If you want to do something really bad ass, you can have someone put a chain or 2 on you (across upper back) when you do them regular style. 3 sets to failure. 3 total work sets.
22
17
15

Decline lying extension – On these, I laid down an incline sit up bench close to flat (same low angle I use for smith machine decline presses – you know, the small angle), and lay back and do lying extensions. These should feel great at this point, as your elbows are juiced up and triceps pumped. Rest 60 seconds between sets on these. 4 sets of 15 reps. 4 total work sets.
60x15
60x15
60x14
60x15

Seated dumbbell curls – I want you to do these leaning back a tad on something. The way I do these is to sit in a preacher curl facing out. Your body is naturally sitting back some. Place your elbows against the pad behind you so they can’t move. You can curl very strictly like this. Do 4 sets of 12. It should burn like fire. You can supinate as you come up. 4 total work sets.
30x12
30x12
30x12
30x11

EZ bar preacher curls - 4 sets of 8. Lower weight with 3-second descent. Do not lower until arm is straight. Stop just short. 4 total work sets.
70x8
70x8
70x8
70x7

Close grip chin ups – Use an underhand grip. Try to use as much bicep as possible! 4 sets to failure. 4 total work sets.
12
10
9
8

Reverse EZ bar curls – 3 sets of 8 reps. Standard form, nothing special. Give them a flex at the top for 1 second. 3 total work sets.
60x8
60x8
60x7

Smith Machine Standing Calf Raise
Five sets of 275x10 with hard double contraction at top

Standing Calf Raise on block
5 sets of 25 with 45lb plate in each hand
 
^^ was tiresome just glancing at it :sigh:


my own training this day:

burpees off stability ball (I hate iparatroop for turning me onto these bastards) :rant:
V-ups
5x8/8/8/7/6 BB incline bench
4x8/8/6/6 flat DB bench
3x8 incline DB flyes
2x max reps perfect push-up apparatus, legs inclined

I am swole .. that is all
 
Impressive update pics brother Snags... holding that mass and shredded will be something for sure.

Monte ... pushing through all that I am sure was tough. My chest / shoulder today has left me worn right out. Good stuff!

Looks quite familiar ;-)

I didn't know there was a difference either. Definitely a bit harder on knees but the pump after those leg presses combined with MAX PUMP was crazy intense.

Sitting up off the seat puts a LOT of pressure on the knees. The pump was great but I can see these causing problems.
 
legs in da books..went a lil something like this

5x8 leg extensions ss w/ leg curls
5x8 DB lunges
5x8 BB RDLs
5x12 DB single leg calf raise

problems walking after this one...



have gone back to my basic program, with a small twist
5 workout days weekly, first week is one basic bodypart per day, with a dedicated arms/abs day
the next week thru, I combine biceps with back and tricep with shoulders, and get 2 leg days in
so, I began with second week format in protocol and will have 2 leg days this week, one with lunges/no squats, and one with squats/no lunges
 
wasme said:
Are those work sets ... or including warmups ? RDL's were the cause of great pain I am sure!
Click to expand...
all working sets, I don't list my warm-ups, and the warm-ups vary anyway depending on how much I feel I need to loosen up
yep, hammies were yelling at me indeed..

tees are a tight commodity my friend, I don't have access to give those out for logging
we run out of them very quickly, can never keep in stock
that said, they are like $10 on our website, and purchasers always get placed to the head of the line if there is a backlog on order

Oh trust me, I already rock that one. One of my favs :)
 
I still need to get one(s). I think I'll place that order in the AM so I'll have something to counter the MT and BB.com shirts at my gym.
