pni triple threat cycle log 2/13

back is kicking my a@@! resting it the next two days just gonna be doing some walking and abs to keep things rocking. i am hoping to get really rocking monday. i pray i feel better. sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
Hang in there!! Hope you back gets better!!
 
It's tough lifting with injuries man so stay in there. I don't know if you saw the other post. The D-Test shouldn't be taken with this stack. Just an FYI. Hang in there and happy to hear u had a good pump
 
Ingredients in paragon and D-Test are POSSIBLY harmful if used together. There was a lot
Of controversy in the original Josiah thread if I want to go back and read it for more info. And like Mack said on someone else's thread who was using it "this is a triple threat stack not quadruple" lol. But Eric Broser did also state on another thread not to use the D-Test it was given to us as an extra gift to use at another time.

Good to know. Shall not use it anymore.
 
Chef. Do this for yourself bro and no one else. Just the fact that you are here and trying your best is what's important!!!!

Watch the injuries and live to lift another day!!
 
thanks for the info i didn't see that or i jsut forgot to read it. thats all i need is to be even more fugged up!!!!
 
Hah, not what it seemed like.

Lets just say now that there are a handful of contestants not following the guidelines it makes for a poor comparison. You guys have been taking a separate test booster for over a week that the others have not. The competition was set up by Broser, Luke, and the guys at PNI because they have faith that the TRIPLE stack is going to show results. Those results out of the current test subjects have now been skewed. Whether you"live" on here or not you should have at least read and understood the purpose of this and followed the guidelines.

I've taken it like once or twice, nowhere near a week. And I'm not going to read every single post that someone writes. I really only go on this on my phone. And I'm not in this contest to come in first place. I'm in this contest for myself to get in better shape. And then you come in here throwing around assumptions and being rude for no reason. Just to start an argument, looks like you won. Ridiculous.

Just keep working hard bro. I had thought about going on the offensive when I saw his comment but I thought, nah, dont really care what he has to say. All this guy does is flame others. He goes on threads and tries to act like an SME, subject matter expert, when he's not. He reads shyt on the Internet and takes it as gospel. He doesn't think for himself. He tries to start arguments. Not worth the time in my opinion bro, so just keep doin what you're doin and let him do what he does... Haters gonna hate...
 
Not really sure where I've ever come into a thread to act as an expert in anything. I questioned the safety of the original stack Josiah was on. In this thread I called attention to the fact that several contestants were not running the supplements according to the guidelines set by the company reps.

This isn't even the central log bro. If you wanna start a conversation about how you feel things aren't equal why don't you do it there instead of thread jacking. This is CHEFBOs log, not the place. Please take this conversation to the central area...
 
I've said what I wanted to say, not looking to stir up any animosity. Chefbo enjoy your run brother and hopefully you're healing up well.
 
thanks guys for the respect and the advice. i've gone on a rant on someones thread by mistake too so no problems just goes to show how pumped we all are about this great lifestyle we live in. now back to the task at had , i am finally getting my macros on here and hope they load ok. really like the way palm and wilpit put theirs up with fitness pal, so here we go.
Cals 3061
Fat 41 g
Carbs 388 g
Protein 179 g

today is an off day with abs and cardio
my back is still all jacked up so it is slow going . i don't know what else to do about it but ride it out. i have stopped taking the d test as recommended ( only took it tow day anyway) so prodigy, and paragon . reaction is right on when saying the results will be skewed but mine is out of necessity of an injury not by choice. I hate to let anyone down especially myself. whatever happens i will give this log my fullest that i can. not here to win just here to be in! great rest day guys. hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
.
 
Keep the work up man. As long you keep your diet right and train as best you can I'm sure results will show....are those macros ones that Luke created for you?

Look in central log where i will explain once again on this
 
no those are what i tracked today i didn't have my log with me to reference the diet. i will get on it tomorrow though. luke did such hard work i really need to get back on track even if i am nt healed yet.

Are you still doing cardio or are you out of commission? The one thing that really helped my back was planks. I didn't see any real improvements through post operation therapy until I really developed a good baseline on core strength.
 
Invalid Link Removedi will try them out. i had all three kids walk on my back tonight and suprisingly that really helped out alot. now if i could find me a cute little oriental to do it in a bikini i would probably heal up right!lol.

i did push out a back workout tonight at home.
wide grip pulldowns 3x8
narrow grip uh pulldowns 3x8
bent over rows 3x8
bentover laterals 3x8
one arm db rows 3x 8
straight arm pushdown 3x 10
behind the neck barbell 3x20

i don't have alot of weight here at home so on some exercises i have to up the rep range to get the pump.
took prodigy 30 minutes before the workout and when i started the bentover rows my back got flushed with blood it was really on fire. major rush tothe head and sweating like a pig. with what everone has said if iwould have had the thermadex i would have probably needed a mop. i didn't take it because it was so late of a workout. here is a pic afterward"
 
ripped up lower back muscles. all knotted up . physical therapy next week plus need to get a deep tissue massage to loosen them up. Luckily working at a college has its perks,i'm gonna go see the head trainer today to see what he can do for me. I was hoping to do a workout today but may have to for go it for this. we will see.
 
man i will be glad when i can get going and get my fat ass doing some cardio. I hate feeling of this gut on my belt. haven't had it in over a year and didn't miss it one bit! since i've been down i have no way to get enough of a workout in to stimulate enough caloric burn to keep it off. I got in some bw dips last night but that was about all i could handle without the pain kicking in. what a biatch!!!!
 
setting at my desk is the only thing i have been able to do the last week because of it . the moment i get up and walk anywhere it kicks in and i am right back here.
 
Man just focus on your rest and your diet for now if u can't do anything.

I agree, and even if you think you can do something....DON'T! Wait for therapy to start up and let them assess you. I spent two years in therapy because I was prideful and kept up the push through it attitude. A bad surgery with a csf leak and a small slip up that lead to losing must function of my left leg which has just now started to regain strength to a normal level. Take it easy brother, diet and continue to rest.

Got to the trainers and he worked me pretty good.20minutes on the bike, foam roll deep tissue massage and ice and stim for 20 more.it felt good for the first time in weeks. Showed me some stretching exercises to do at home and recommended ice and rest.
 
183 this morning not going down like i imagined but with the lack of cardio i have been doing i understand. since the meeting with the trainer at school i can stand to do bike so i will incorprate taht next week as my after work workout .
managed to squeeze in a chest workout today at home.
breakfast was paragon,
one egg white with toast
20 ounces of water
coffee

lunch was 20 ounce whey shake

banana for midday snack

dinner was : icup brown rice, 1/2 cup pinto beans, 1 2 ounce slice of ham diced and sauteed together. 20 ounce water.
i will add the macros tomorrow and log.

chest workout consisted of :
superset of dumbell flyes 3 sets x 10 not counting warm up 40, 45, 50
incline db press 45, 50, 55 2x10 one to failure
incline machine press 3 x 10 at 100 super set with machine flyes same weight
overhead dumbell extention 55 lbs 3x10
pushups 3 x25
that did it for today was all i could get through in time before daughters ball practice
good pump on the prodigy, man that stuff makes my head crawl but glad to have the rests in between. never thought i would need that long of a one . good call Luke! very good intensity during the workout.
i am being careful with the back guys don't worry just want to do what i can to stay active and Luke has agreed to get me straight after rehab on the back. Everyone is killing it just want to do what i can . i still won't be able to do any legs or back and arms will be limited to waht i can get done here at home until complete recovery. gonna get my stuff straight onthe diet and rest is no problem getting plenty of that. this week is gonna be rough at work as will next week with key people being out and me taking up the slack be we will percevere ( it that is spelled correctly). have agreat day tomorrow everyone.
 
Proud of ya man for not giving up. Last thing we want is to hurt yourself, so continue to take it easy and dont push it. Like i said even after this competition we will get you back on track. You will not be missing out on anything just a little delayed is all due to the injury.
 
Never give up Chef! We're all proud that you are fighting
 
Ok , got home today after a hard day dealing with all the pain. took my prodigy , paragon and half a thermadex. good lord what a rush, got down in the basement and did arms before dinner. Man they swole up something fierce! hadn't had a pump like that in i don't know how long. couldn't even lift a thing afterward the last set. heres how it went:

skull crushers 3 sets @ 50 for 10 reps
clse grip bench 3sets same same (superset)

straight bar pushdowns 3 sets @75 for 10, 10, 15
ezcurl curls 3 sets at 50 for 10

hammer curls at 35 3x10
concentration curl 3 x10,8, 4 at 35lbs

arms were wrecked but in agood way. totally exhausted , 2 minute rest in between supersets was a must. usually i burn through aworkout HIIT but not on this stack you would pass out. love the pump hard to get my shirt off afterward.. Good sweat too. relaxed the rest of the evening with the kids good dinner and watched the bible as a family before bed. great finish to a hard day. hope everyone had a great workout and is doing the same my brothers. God Bless. cardio and rest day tomorrow.
 
finally got a appt. with a a chiro to check my back. these witch doctor at the clinic on campus don't have a f@#$ing clue as to how to treat a muscle injury except dope you up. Got a friend of my wife who is a massage therapist gonna give me a deep tissue massage next week and I got myself a foam roller to do at home. The Physical therapist wouldn't even return my phone calls so screw her too. the chiro will do a full workup on me to see exactly what the problem is and I fear it is bad. I have never had it go this long with all that I have been doing to treat it(ice, stim, rest medicine etc) it just looks bad for me, but I am seeing the right people so we will see. couldn't do anything but abs last night because of the pain but got out 150 crunches and 50 leg raises to the point I couldn't breath so they got a good workout. just trying to do what I can to keep in the game and not set myself back as far as I could be, just the stubbornness in me I guess. Logs look great guys really racking up the weight and losing it too. I have gained around 8 in two weeks, some in my belly but my arms and chest look bigger to me. could be the muscle relaxers they have me on though! lol. keep pushing brother in iron and I will follow.
 
got the verdict from the doctor today. sprained lower inside back muscles. 90 days of therapy ahead out for the contest with no back training of anykind allowed. iwill continue to lift what ican and keep my strength up just work around the injury. my luck thats what happens when you try to act like you are twenty again. she told me it was gonna happen sometime and i am lucky it can be fixed. great doctor very thorough . she said i most likely will be back in sixty due to the shape i'm in so that is aplus. i will continue to log just not take the supps until i am healed fully and start again. so i am out just not gone. good luck tot he rest of you guys i know it is not just about winning it is to see how far we can push ourselves to achieve smething great.
 
well an update for those still following week one of therapy done still nowhere near feeling any better. . she said it would get worse before getting better due to the adjustments. Gotta stay on the ice every 35 minutes throughout the day which is a pain at work but gotta o what I gotta do.


hopefully after a full recovery I will be smarter and still be able to achieve everything I have been working toward. was going to try to do alittle leg work today if time permitted but had an emergency at work and have to stay late .. and so it goes!
 
Just take it slow man it's important to stay healthy. Not to mention that you can never get leaner/muscular if you are broken.
 
did a short leg workout today to try out the back. did Dorian Yates b & G leg session with quads only and calfs.
3 sets ( two warm up , one working) leg extentions 135 @ 10, 160 @ 10 , 185 @ 10
leg press 3 sets of 10 with superset of calf raises 325 ,415, 460
quads were blown up fetl great back didn't bother me at all. came home iced it up good. another chiro tomorrow them off for a week.
been doing what ican at the house, did agood chest and arm workout friday and sunday felt good to feel the burn and the pump again.
gonna go back on my bulk a while until i get better then around may i will be ready to change over and lean up for summer.

would like to congratulate who won but in the end you are all winners because you challenged yourself to be better no award is better than that!
