Montego gets FREAKY

Yeah I have only had 1 migraine and it made me feel exactly as you subscribed. After that when my wife had one I never thought she was blowing it out of proportion again.

Sounds like a lot of work today good thing legs aren't tomorrow.
 
My lady gets migraines .... puts her down for the count when it happens ..... I had one a while back so I feel ya on finally understanding .... until that point I thought she was making too big a deal outa nothing ..... boy was I wrong
 
233.8 this morning. Couple weird weight fluctuations the last two weeks. Soldiering on.
 
Dang! Really coming along nice - I don't think I've ever seen you that big at this level of bodyfat. It's coming together!
 
I don't think Ive ever commented on your logs but ive followed them and damn man, you've taken some huge steps in the last year

Thanks bud. Almost back to a respectable level of conditioning. Long way to go. Bigger leaner and hopefully tanner lol.
 
Felt great in the gym even though I was a bit wore out from moving yesterday. Was flat and pump was minimal but strength was still on point.

On a side note, last night around 1:30 my ****ing cabinet fell off the wall in the kitchen....broken dishes and **** everywhere.Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
Got it going in high gear now! Sucks about the cabinet...

December 5th is.D-Day

The show I had planned isn't an NPC show anymore so that won't be happening
 
December 5th. tell me more.
 
Carb load today. Bananas, watermelon and pancakes down! The sweat has already begun.
 
Oh muh geeeeze. Carb load today.

Kicked it off with bananas and watermelon followed by a pack of Funfetti pancakes (I love those damn things). About five minutes after eating the pannnncakes sweat started. I'd compare them to Tren night sweats......I've grown to like them. Let's me know things are on point.

Gym an hour after eating. Was leg day -

Lying leg curls - Worked up to heavy set of 12 for three sets. Fourth set was 10 reps, drop 8 reps, drop 8 reps then 30 partials from the stretched position.

Squats - Work up to a heavy set of twelve. Then did four sets of eight with 3 second descent, 2 second pause, 2 second ascent to 3/4 *******.

Hack - Four sets of 20 with constant tension throughout. Feet close and low on the platform hitting the sweep. Stopping just short of bottoming out and locking out. (Between sets static stretches and flexing. Stretch quads for ten seconds HARD then flex quads as hard as possible ten times.)

Legs were blown up at this point. So let's finish em off!

Leg extension - Used a relatively light weight. Flex quads to the top and hold for a ten count. Four sets of eight.

Calf press - 8 sets of 20. 3 second hold at contraction. 10 second weighted stretch between sets.

Weighted crunch - 5 sets of 20

Just got home and had two blueberry bagels with 30g of isolate.
 
So Sunday's have been my only day of total rest meaning no cardio or gym but cardio frequency increased last week along with training so back at it today.

This is going to be my scheduled secondary training day focusing on something different every week but abs will be every time as well as cardio.

Biceps Abs Cardio

Preacher curl machine - 6 sets of 15 with a 2 second squeeze at the top.

Hammer curl - Picked a weight for a tough eight reps then do five reps on the right side then five reps on the left side. Then five more on the right side then another five on the left side. That's one set. Five total working sets. These give a pump like you wouldn't believe from holding the weight between sides.
Super set with -
Weighted rope crunches - 5 sets of 20

Weighted crunch twist - 5 sets of 20 each side

High Cable Curls - 5 sets of 15 focus on rotating arms back at the top of the movement to mimic rear double bicep pose.
Super set with -
Lat pulldown crunches - 5 sets of ten here is the video on those. It's the second exercise. Invalid Link Removed

Followed by 45 minutes of incline treadmill
 
Wow. That is really the only way to sum up what happened in the gym today.

This is the first lift of the new Incinerator program. The first week is a low volume week -

Chest- 9 sets/Shoulders 13 sets

Machine Press - Plenty of feeder sets of 8 on the way up. Keep going up in weight doing sets of 8 until you cant get. Lower the weight in a controlled manner, drive the weight to ******* then flex for 1 second. Last 3 sets count as working set. 90x8 140x8 180x8 230x8 270x8 320x8 360x8 380x7

Incline BB Press - Slight angle. Explosive sets of 6. 1-2 feeder sets of 5 to get warm. Drive to 3/4 of ******* and lower to 1-2 inches from chest. 135x5 185x5 225x6 (that was easy..) 275x6 (Hrm....) 295x6 (Really....) 305x5 (PR?)

Decline DB Press - 3 sets of 10. Lower the weight slowly and controlled as far as you can for a deep stretch. Drive to 3/4 ******* for constant tension. 120x10 120x10 130x10 130x10

Bent over side lateral- 1 warmup set then 4 sets of 15 with a full range of motion. Rest breaks shorter then 2 minutes. 25x15 30x15 35x15 35x15 35x15 35x15

Cage Press (Did reverse machine press since no cage)- Bring the handles down to the upper chest. Drive the weight up and squeeze the traps HARD at the top. When you lower the weight down hold it at the bottom for a second so similar to a rest pause set. 5 sets of 5 (****ING MONSTER HERE) 180x5 230x5 270x5 (Easyyyyyy this is silly) 320x5 320x5 320x5 320x5

Side lateral - Basic side laterals. 4 sets of 10. 35x10 40x10 40x10 40x9-1 40x8-2

I dont really consider myself "Strong" by any means but jesus christ. Today was absolutely awesome. On the machine press I was about where i normally sit weight wise for those reps but the Incline BB and the Reverse Shoulder presses were off the charts. Considering how much weight ive dropped and my current caloric intake I would have to rate this in the top 10 gym days I've ever had strength wise. Really happy about today.
 
Back at it today trying to build off of yesterdays momentum. Goooood session.

Back 15 sets -

One arm Barbell Rows - Did a few warmup sets to get ready for demolition. Used 25lb plates to get a max stretch at the bottom. Sets of 8 working up to a tough 8 then four more sets with that weight. 25x12 25x12 50x10 75x10 95x8 95x8 95x8 95x8

Smith machine bent over rows - 1 or 2 feeder sets then jump into sets of 6. Raming elbows up and not using arms at all. 3 total working sets. 185x10 225x8 275x6 275x6 275x6

Incline DB Shrugs - Lay face down on an incline bench and shrug the dumbells. Your upper traps will get worked but the angle makes the mid traps go nuts. 3 sets of 10. 80x10 100x10 100x10 100x10

Rack Deads - Sets of 3 until you cant get 3. 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x3 405x3 455x3 495x3 545x3

Banded Hypers - 2 sets of at least 20. Red Band 25 24

Cable Crunches - 8 sets of 15 with 100

At first I was like - Whimpy DB shrugs, then I read how you did them. Yeah, those are tough and bring a new meaning to feeling your traps!!

FAAAAK! I did that in an hour. Powaaaah
 
So basically you did 49 reps on incline bench with 275 in less than 5 minutes... PHUCK ME!!!!!!! RIDICULOUSNESS!!!!
 
So here are the weigh ins over the last few weeks. The first big weight drop was stupid. I set myself up for failure there and since 9/12 the diet has been locked in. Slow steady reduction over that time has really let me maintain as much size as possible and i haven't had to totally eliminate carbs. Also I'm still doing a weekly carb load of at 800-1200g carbs per week after weigh ins as I've done since the second week.

8/28 - 255
9/5 - 245
9/12 - 238.8
9/19 - 236.6
9/26 - 236.0
10/3 - 233.6
10/10 - 232.6
10/17 - 233.6 (constipated lol)
10/24 - 229.8
10/31 - 227.0


Going to continue the cut until December 5th at least wich will be final pics and reflection time.

I've got my post cut plan mapped out and an idea of what I plan to accomplish coming into next year. But for now it's time to keep grinding.
