224.8 again this morning. ****s getting real lol.

I got around 10 hours of sleep last night and thank god for that cause I needed it badly. Yesterdays training was a really good chest/shoulder day and i apologize for not uploading the workout yesterday but I was just spent. Weights, Posing, Cardio then got home and was dead to the world.

Chest 18 sets/Shoulders 20 sets

Cable Flies - 4 sets of 12 here to get shoulders and chest warm. Dont go crazy cause were gonna do that in a little bit :) . Just want to stimulate the muscles and get them primed for work. 60x12 60x12 60x12 60x12

Incline DB Press - Do a few warmup sets here. Gonna work our way up in weight doing sets of 12 until we cant get 12. Work up slowly and get plenty of work in here. On the final set where you cant get 12 do a drop set of half the weight to failure. 40x12 60x12 70x12 80x12 100x12 105x12 110x12 115x12 120x11 60x15
Super Set With -
Side laterls - Use a light db and keep arms completly straight. Bring the weight out to the side to just above shoulder height. MAKE THE DELT MOVE THE WEGIHT. 4 Sets of however many you can do. 15x15 15x14 15x14 15x13

Front raise - WIll do these on the Smith Machine. Nothing fancy, just bring the weight to collar bone level and keep very controlled here. 4 sets of 15. 95x15 95x15 95x15 95x12-3
Super set with -
Side lateral with ez curl bar - These will smoke the medial delt. Stabalizing the longer weight makes a big impact here. Hold onto something with your off hand and lean at a slight angle towards the weight. Make sure to STOP the weight at the bottom and Fire it up with the delt hard. No swinging. 4 sets os 10-12 30x12 30x12 30x11-1 30x10-2

Military Press - Did these on the smith machine. Lower the bar to chin level and stop at 3/4 *******. 4 sets of 7. 225x7 225x7 225x7 225x5-2

Reverse Shoulder Press - Just do it.....body is smoked.....this is where the changes are made. 225x10 225x9-1 225x7-2-1 225x6-2-1-1

High Cable Flies - Start with a high hand position and press down. Stimulating the lower chest. 4 sets of 15. 90x15 90x15 90x15 90x15


Finished off with 8 sets of hanging leg raises and cardio on incline treadmill after posing. Ughhhhh I love it.

Things are slowly improving still. I'd like some input from the guys who watched me during prep. Especially Chris since he saw me in person. I feel like I've added quite a bit of size during the "fat bulk". Be honest here lol. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

I would still have to see you in person but from these pics I would say you are about 15+ lbs more muscle than before. This look reminds me of you in that 210 range during your prep if I remember correctly. Triceps are noticeably bigger, legs well that is obvious. Your biceps it is hard to tell because you don't have your arms rotated back far enough in the RDB to see the peaks. Traps are noticeably thicker as well.

Here for a comparison, this was a few days after waking at 212 after a carb load from your contest prep log.

221.4 this flab is on fiiiiirrrreeeeeee this flab is on firrreeeeeee
 
Back 20 sets/Abs 8 sets

Goal today was to get a good pump and focus on width a little. Sat in the higher rep range and held contractions a bit longer then normal.

Lat Pulldown Machine - I think of using my hands as hooks attached to my elbow on all pulling movements. This helps me take the arms out of the equation. Driving elbows down for the contraction. 150x20 150x20 150x20 150x20 150x20

Pulldown with Rope - I sat reverse in the pulldown station so the knee brace was touching my lower lats. Gave me a good mind muscle connection. Let the lats flare on the way up and drive the elbows down to contract. 150x15 150x14 150x12 150x12 150x11-1

BB Shrugs - 3 second hold at the top. Lighter weights used but great burn. 185x20 185x20 185x20 185x18 185x17-1
Superset With
Chest Supported T-Bar row - Thought about driving my chest into the pad. Not pulling the weight to me. 135x15 135x15 135x15 135x14-1 135x12-2-1

Cable Lat Pulldown - Burning out here. Did a FST7 style set. 30 seconds rest and stretched the hell out of the lats during the break. 140x25 140x25 140x22 140x18 140x17 140x15 140x15

Machine Crunch (Looks like a lat pullover machine) - Full stretch at the top. 100x20 100x20 100x20 100x20 100x20 100x20 100x20 100x20

Finished off with the ole treadmill again.
 
Shoulders

Cable Fly - Just warming up here. Stretching between sets. Getting the shoulder joints warm. 80x15 80x15 80x15 80x15 80x15 80x15

Rear Delt Cable Fly - Leaned forward at about 45 degrees not all the way over. No handle attachment. Focus on moving the weight laterally and NOT backward at all. Keeps more tension on the rear delt. 30x15 30x15 30x14 30x12 30x12 30x12
Superset With
DB Lateral - Kept arm straight with no bend at all. Full stop at the bottom and made sure to focus on only the side delt moving the weight. Can't do a ton of weight this way :) 15x20 15x18 15x15 15x15 15x13 15x12

Behind the Neck Military Press - Used smith machine here. Lower to right above the traps. Drive up to 3/4 *******. Constant tension. 185x12 185x11 185x11 185x10 185x10
Superset With
DB Front Raise - Again no swing here. Delt moving all the weight. 25x15 25x15 25x12 25x12 25x11 25x11

Smith Shrugs - Leaned backward while holding the bar. Again focused on the traps moving the weight some delt involvement due to the lean. 225x20 225x20 225x20 225x18 225x18
Superset With
Rear Delt Swings - Nothing fancy just hammer out the reps. The key here is STOPPING THE WEIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. That is what makes em hard. 25x30 25x30 25x25 25x25 25x22

Incline Chest Press - Just finishing off here. FST7 set with stretching and flexing between sets. 30 seconds rest. 185x15 185x15 185x15 185x15 185x15 185x15 185x15

Weighted Crunches -8 sets of 20

Finished with cardio as usual on the stupid treamill. I like walking the hills much more so thatll be the plan going forward.

Loaded stretches during leg training. Pics don't do it any justice lol. Road map in full effect. Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
SMOKED legs today. The re-feed yesterday really fueled the session and produced a great pump.

Starting to notice an effect on cardio output. Not so much during HIIT or LISS but during lifting it's definitely effecting how much rest between sets I need.

Legs 24 sets

Lying Leg Curls - 3 second negatives and a good squeeze at the top. 200x15 200x15 200x14-1 200x13-2 200x13-2

Smith Squats 1.5's - Used a close foot position for these. All the way to bottoming out halfway up then back down and then back up to full extension. Thats 1. 185x20 185x18 185x15 185x15 185x14-6-6-4-3-1-1-1

Leg Press - Feet low and close. Half reps on the top of the movement to really smoke the tear drop. 405x40 405x30 405x28 405x25

Lunges - Used a cable machine thing for these. One leg at a time. Held the cable behind my working leg to have the ham/glute do some more work. 40x12 40x12 40x12 40x12 40x12

Yeah I was hoping 215 but I think 208 is closer to what it will be. That would be a ten lb increase since last July.

Time to get a cordless screwdriver! All the volume gets my elbows, the heavy stuff with lower volume not so much.
 
Today was off from the gym.

Extra cardio today.....my ten year old son has been having habitual problems in school with goofing off. I've given him multiple chances over the last five weeks to straighten up and he just doesn't get it.

I try not to spank my kids anymore because I get very angry very easily and I don't want to accidentally hurt them. I've always been like this so throw in some Tren and a smart ass mouth and things can spiral out of control really quickly. I know once I get to a certain point i just kind of black out so I take myself out of those situations whenever possible.

Well today we get a call from the teacher. Same ****. Goofing off. Disruptive. Kid gets home and I make him run sprints for punishment.

He's ****ing off. Half assing the runs. So I go out there with him and tell him he better get his ass running and he keeps walking. I go up behind him and smack his ass. He turns around and starts backing up and i tell him get his ass moving. He mouths off. More swats. Blackness descends. Next thing I know he's on the ground cause I knocked him over spanking his ass. I grab him by the arm and swat him again. He starts running and I'm right with him. He slows down and I pop him again. We keep running. Every time he slows down I'm right there to get him going.

About fifteen minutes in he falls down crying, hurting,
"Get up! It's supposed to hurt!"
"Why are you following me spanking me?!"
"Because apparently this is what it takes for you to do what you're supposed to do damn it! Now get your ass moving! You keep running and I won't pop you."

Five more minutes goes by and I hear mom on the porch, "honey....." "**** off.....you told me do it my way I'm ****ing doing it my way", I think to myself.

Almost done..... "Dont let me beat you this time. You get there first and you're done." He's trying hard. We get to the top of the hill and i tell him start walking.

I'm not proud of spanking my kid but Jesus Christ......what can you do?
 
Sometimes the willful ones have to be shown that there is actually something to be afraid of. When it is me me me and they feel entitled to everything in the world for nothing and fear no consequences it creates a situation where you have to give them some fear to get that respect. As long as you don't tear them down emotionally and let them know know you still love them when it is over they tend to get it. Only took one time with my boy like that. He got it after being put through the ringer and scared to death. Not saying there weren't other issues but never pushed it that far again.
 
Today's society is all about rights of the child. People make it out like kids deserve immunity because they're defenseless and precious. But how are you supposed to punish them when they're out of line if they don't fear any repercussions?
Discipline is something sorely lacking because of this mentality, but that's exactly what a child deserves: a parent that loves them enough to discipline them. Someone that takes the time to give a fart whether they're staying on track for a decent future. Lord knows kids don't come programmed for success inherently - that's your job as a father.
As long as your actions come from love and he can understand that he will be better off for it.
 
Fear or respect. Doesn't really matter which one. But it has to be at least one of them. My dad instilled that in me and I've passed that down to the kids I've raised. Done my fair share of whipping. The 2 boys I've raised both respect me. There was a time they feared me...lol
Luckily you are in Texas where it's still ok to discipline your kids(some southerners still advocate discipline). If you lived up north you'd probably be in jail!
 
Well we were outside in the street and lots of people were home lol. I guess it all turned out ok.

Just airways feel bad when I spank my kids even though I'm doing right.
 
Been without my laptop for a little over a week ..... got it fixed and logged on just now to see your amazing transformation! Looking awesome

We all have and do.... but in the end it has to be done. And Chris is right, far better than beating them emotionally so they feel worthless. Hell, he even got some exercise!

Trained later then normal tonight. Had a long day at work as my meeting drug on FOREVER. But it was arms so it was a shorter workout.

Yesterday's session

Alright.

So yesterday was a much needed rest day looking back. I am starting to get the creaks and aches finally from all the training and being deep into the diet. Ive been through it before though so I'm prepared mentally though.

At this point each day you wake up questioning if you look better, do you look flatter, are you holding extra water, god damn that loose skin is bad, I don't see much change here, I wonder if i need more rest, do i need to train more. A million little twists and turns that the brain starts throwing at you to try and get you to fail. But **** you brain this is MY body. You do what I tell you to do damn it.

Legs - Volume, Pump

Standing leg curl - Drive the heel up hard as **** and squeeze. Lower slowly. Gotta get that blood flowing. 5 sets of 20 each leg

Smith Lunges - Used a short platform to put my forward foot on today. Get a deeper stretch at the bottom. 5 sets of 15 each leg

Cable Squats - Used a cable machine thats designed for deadlifts on this. Held the handles behind my torso slightly to really activate the glutes and hams here. 5 sets of 15 and on the last rep hold at 1/2 position for ten seconds. These hurt.

Leg Extension - Rotated knees in slightly and worked the top portion of the movement hard here. Really getting the upper part of the quad firing. 5 sets of 25

Squat - Time to finish it off. Challenge sets. You better be seeing stars damn it. 5 sets of 20

Decline Situps - 8 sets of 25
Superset With
Hanging leg Raises - 8 sets to failure

Absolutely fried after this session. During the lunges I was having to elevate my legs because the pumps were just excruciating. I dont think ive had leg pumps like this EVER before.

Time is running out and we got a lot of work left to do. No time to take the foot off the gas now.....gonna floor this bitch all the way through the finish line.
 
Little clearer. Gash I always forget how white I am lol. Invalid Link Removed
 
Yep, showing those hard earned gains now! Great looking Mass added!
 
Back session over and done with.

Sorry for the lack of updates these past few days but Im absolutely drained.

Back abs are in. Bring it.
 
Looking good Montana! What is your loading plan? Are you going to load first then drop water and stay nice and full, or dry out then try to get full with a quick carb up, or the typical 2-3 day carb up while progressively lowering water intake?
 
212.4 this morning. There will be food going down today. Invalid Link Removed
 
Such an awesome cut in a short period of time! Enjoy the food today!!
