quick update... Went down to try and flip the 900lb tire today for the first time, and ended up flipping it 3 times in a row. Anytime I tried it before (2 different times) I couldnt even budge it, however I had it in my head I was either going to flip it, or be taken to the hospital. Didnt expect to flip it 3 times though.

What a workout it was, my whole body feels it, I can tell doing this stuff is going to bring my strength, and physique into a whole new realm.

Quite impressive so far, TP. That sure was an AMAZING transformation from 2003 to now; KUDOS. And nice to see someone else who can eat enough for an army

Just asking if you could every 3-4 days or/1-2 times a week please do a post that includes the following (just so that others can have an idea of how The ONE is affecting you re these factors):

Diet - general overview re total calories, water intake, etc.
Training - specifics re time/exercises/sets/reps/recovery/weight, etc.
Body composition and Look
Muscle Hardness
Vascularity
Strength
Speed
Co-ordination
Quality of Training
Mood/Aggression
Libido
Joints
Overall Sense of Feeling (to include mention of any shut-down or sides)

Thanks.

:cheers:

I'm still sore from flipping the tire.. it is truly a full body workout doing those. My forearms have never been so sore, and my foot was a little jacked up yesterday so I took a day off of doing legs, will be hitting those tonight. Other than that, I feel great, cant wait for another day to start flipping it again, hopefully if the weather is nice again on Saturday I'll get some video of it.

 

[tattoopierced1]

Muscle Hardness- muscles feel of granite during workouts, slightly pumped throughout the day as well
Vascularity- i'm pretty vascular anyways, havent noticed anymore than normal
Strength- def. increase in strength
Speed- N/A
Co-ordination N/A
Quality of Training- same as usual, pushing more weight, but i always push myself no matter what
Mood/Aggression- slightly more aggressive
Libido- increased during the first week, feels as it is starting to level out this week
Joints- Feel fine, not really had much problems while using this compound

 

[tattoopierced1]

today's weight: 232.6lbs down about .4lbs from the last time I weighed on Thursday I believe. If weight stagnates out like I think it might be, I'm going to throw down some more calories to keep in the positive weight increases..

EVOO and PB here i come

 

[metroba]

What day are you on?

 

[tattoopierced1]

Went in to do legs last night but got sidetracked talking to the owner about the strongman. Have been trying to meet with him to explain to him the equipment I need for him to get and he is busy all the time so I had to cut my workout short to tell him what we need for the event. All I did last night before talking to him was hack squats, 540lbs 12/12/10 (I lowered the weight a bit as my knees were kinda "off" feeling yesterday). Then after the owner and I talked, we went out and pulled his pickup truck through the parking lot for a bit with some rope.

This has nothing to do with this log, but I thought I'd mention it as it is very inspiring and makes me want to work harder in just about every aspect of life. One of the guys competing in the event is good friends with the owner and I've talked to him on occasion. He's about 6'4" 280lbs and has cancer. Yesterday he had a chemo treatment and has a port directly into his heart in his chest, and had a bag hanging with the chemo strapped to his belt, but he was still out there pulling the truck with us. Really puts things into perspective and shows alot of how tough this guy really is.

thats some heart right there. i would be honored to workout with him!

 

[metroba]

Thats intense man! And 540lb hacks?!?!?!? You deserve to be in strong man!

its not that impressive with the hacks.. I'm getting in the machine backwards to focus more on quads, in this particular machine, you can move alot of weight in it backwards.

That's good stuff. My cousin is just finishing up chemo/radiation (Non Hodgkins Stage 4 Lymphoma). He's been surfing and working out every day after radiation. Toughest kid I know. It's incredible.

 

[tattoopierced1]

This is the closest picture I could find online from a quick search: http://www.maximfitness.net/Portals/0/Skins/maxim/images/freeweight/img_powerhack.jpg

It looks very similar to this, where instead of getting in with my back toward the back pad, i get in with my face, facing the pad and placing my shoulders on the pads furthest from the back pad (if that makes sense).

 

[metroba]

ahhh I thought you meant straight up bb hacks..still tho

 

[Jayhawkk]

Lookin good TTP! Sorry to hear about your friend with cancer but it sound slike he has the heart and spirit to beat it if anyone does.

 

[tattoopierced1]

Long story short, but I quit as the coordinator for the July 4th strongman. Some things went down that should have been taken care of schedule wise along time ago and I've contacted far too many important people to be a part of this event (congressmen for guest judges etc..) and now the owner wants to change the date after I've gotten ahold of a bunch of people. I dont want to look like an unorganized ass to any of these people, so I sent all communications I had with them and gave them the gym owners contact info and told him that I cannot coordinate this anymore.

I'm extremely mad and upset about this, and because of everything, I dont think I'm going to compete in the event if it does in fact happen at a different date.

I'll still get video of me flipping the tire tomorrow, but that will be it for the strongman training from here on out.

All good so far. Interesting that although your weights has a net gain it is fluctutaing between gains and losses over the days; more food might be required.

I started with more food as of today, little things here and there added to what I've eaten.. EVOO, PB, etc.

that totally blows, I was looking forwards to videos of the event

 

[tattoopierced1]

I am just not competing in it now (if it even does go off) to show my disappointment in the way things were handled. I coordinated everything and wasnt paid at all, all in my free time, to benefit the gym, I gained nothing from doing this. Like I stated, as promised, I'll get video tomorrow of me flipping the 900lb tire, but that is it for my training for this event. I was really looking forward to this, but I feel that if I enter the event now, I only support his unorganization and being a very organized person, especially with something benefiting a greater cause for charity, it just doesnt sit right in my heart now.

Hope that makes sense.. I'm pretty angry/scatterbrained right now, so I apologize if it doesnt.

 

[tattoopierced1]

headed down to lift now.. going to hit chest, and with how pissed I am now, it is going to be a good workout. I'll report back once I'm done.

 

[EasyEJL]

nah, it does, and i completely understand. the tire flip will be awesome to see

 

[metroba]

Damn. That pisses me off that this guy pulled that crap with you man. Sorry to hear. Now tear dem der weights up foo!!! :smite:

 

[tattoopierced1]

Just got back from doing chest. It was extremely humid in there today, and I was already sweating due to being agitated, but I had a good workout, but I was sweating like a whore in church.

Incline DB Press: 110x10 for 3 sets
Decline DB Press: 110x10/10/8
DB Overhead Pull: 90x10 for 3 sets
Cable fly (upper pulley): 80x10 for 3 sets
Cable Fly (mid pulley): 70x10 for 3 sets
Cable Fly (low pulley): 60x10 for 3 sets

This buddy of yours has a heart of gold man good for him. Sorry your stuff fell through on the strong man bs I was really lookin forward to some of those vids oh well keep workin hard and tearing it up....

 

[Liftergym33]

Thats to bad all that went down.. things happen for a reason, some for the good the others for the worse.. focus whats at hand bro dont stress man.. everything will work out in the long run. on the other note, work out looked very strong TP! did the eye clear up yet? hows the total body feeling?

 

[tattoopierced1]

Eyes are getting better each day, but I'm still not wearing my contact yet.. (argh. I hate my glasses)

There will still be videos, just not like I had hoped, but I'm staying positive about everything and will just start focusing on more of a bodybuilding routine.

So I feel as though I've lost a little bit of fat around the mid section, specifically around the lower back (one of the few places I actually carry a little bit of fat), so this is a good thing. I'm beginning to think that is where some of the weight has been lost even though that isnt my intent for this, it is a welcomed loss. I have upped my calories a bit by adding in EVOO into my morning and bedtime shakes and have added in natty PB to my bagels to squeeze in some more calories. Today is an "eat whatever I want" day so expect there to be alot of yummy, not healthy for you at all, foods.

I am supposed to meet a buddy today at my gym, and get video of me flipping the tire during lunch, so hopefully I can get back to work and get the vid uploaded before I leave today.

Other than that, nothing really to report, other than the "insane appetite" has really subsided as of the past 2-3 days. I'm still eating lots of food, but the black hole of a stomach feeling has past, which I was really enjoying.. ahh i miss that feeling.

I'm going to start splitting doses up, to 2 in the morning, and 2 pre workout to see if that will help kick start things again. I am going to start this tomorrow.

 

[AE14]

keep it going TP. Seems most are having real solid results on this

 

[tattoopierced1]

Weight is starting to climb again.. 233.4lbs today, so the slight diet change has put me back on track. Went down at lunch and flipped the tire, I took my camera but the battery died, so my buddy captured it on video on his cell phone.. waiting for him to email it to me and then I'll upload it to YouTube and post the link here.
