Thanks, ladies. Serge Nubret was huge on the mind muscle connection and feeling each and every rep. Once I started using VasoXplode, my focus was drstically improved.(I started using VasoXplode before I became sponsored by Scivation) Part of it might also be because that was when I was entering the second month of my prep. But these last few days have been phenominal. If you have impecible form, you don't need huge weights to get results. Serge talks of how he could put the weight in his mind and be able to make a light weight challenging.

Frank Zane did a study about how posing between sets affected the mind muscle connection, and Arnold believed that posing between sets helped with muscle separation do to the isometric tension.

Thank you D. I am humbled by the amount of support and positive energy everyone here has given me in such a short time.

I hope to do the same for everyone. If I can do it so can you. 2.5 years ago I was 145 pounds, had terrible nutrition and was the HUGEST post head you could imagine. Now I've been sober for 2.5 years and am in the best mood and shape of my life.

I need to get this part through my thick skull. I feel really whimpy if I'm lifting light. But I can't focus on the squeeze during my rep if I go heavy. I need to implement that more in my training.

Yeah. Me too. I get so hung up on the numbers on my core lifts. Duh.

I freely admit that I have an ego, and I get the fix from the mirror, rather than form the amount of weight that I can move. Powerlifters and strongmen lift weights. Bodybuilders train with weights.

Why thank you dbflg, you are more than welcome here any time.

Today was legs and this is what I threw together. I have to admit that I took it easy today. It's my reload week, and next week there will be no talking to people between sets. They might think I've turned into an A-hole, but I've got work to do.
Front Squats
95x10 warm up
115x10 warmup
135x10
145x8
145x8
145x6 Bar was slipping
145x7 These felt good. I haven't done any for 4 months, so I did not push things. I definatley felt them though.

SLDL
245x8
245x8
245x8
245x8
245x8

Leg Press
550x8
550x8
550x9
550x10
550x8

Walking Lunges
70x20 steps
70x20 steps These hit the glute ham tie ins pretty good. Was going to do more, but as I've said this is my week off and I BS'd with some people too much, and ran out of time. Had to make my massage appointmnet.

I've been looking at pics from the contest, and I know that what separated me from 4th and 3rd place was my legs.

pammiejoe6 · 06-29-2007, 02:27 PM

you definitely have awesome wheels!!

**Crader** · 06-29-2007, 02:34 PM

I just looked at Marcs Scivation video here..Train those legs hard so you can beat him

You Scivation boys are looking mighty fine!

Thanks, PJ, but they can definately be better. I know I've got a V-taper, but now I'd like to go for the X-frame.

Marc's quads are huge. Damn ex-powerlifters. Mine are just lagging a bit behind my upper body for overall symmetry. I know 1 thing though, to beat Marc I will have to be in far better condition than I was last weekend.

Honestly though Marc is an amazing human being. He inspires me in many more ways than just bodybuilding, and I am honored that he has chosen to support me.

That still doesn't mean that I don't want to battle it out onstage with him.

Shawn, another Scivation athlete, will be competing at the Clash as well. He's HUGE, and my brother from another father and mother. I'd really like to see all three of us in a call out, and all three of us taking the top three places. First thing is me making it up to lightheavy so that I can compete against them. If not then it will have to be for the overall.

**MacTech** · 06-30-2007, 12:26 AM

I am curious why don't you eat chicken ?

Up until about a year and half ago I was an ovo-lacto vegetarian. During the 10 years that I didn't eat meat the only thing I craved was shrimp. I trained for over a year as a vegetarian and had some good gains, but then decided that I wanted another protien source so I started on fish again. For me, fish is just a more effective protien. 7oz of tuna has 49g protien. By now it just comes down to a personal prefference. Chicken doesn't seem appetizing to me. But a nice seared tuna steak.

Bill_Finkbiner · 06-30-2007, 12:58 AM

Today was arms and I really didn't know what I wanted to do until I got down to it. And this is what I came up with.

Supported Forward Lean DB Curls
20x10 warm up
25x10 warm up
30x11
35x10
35x10

1 Arm Hammer Strength Preacher Curls
25x12
30x10
30x11

Reverse EZ Bar Curls
45x10 warm up
55x12
65x10
65x10

CG Bench Press
135x10
135x10
135x9

Reverse Grip Tri Cable Ext.
120x12
130x12
140x12

1 Arm OH Tri Ext.
25x10
25x8
25x8

DB Wrist Curls
40x10
40x10
40x8

DB Reverse Wrist Curls
20x10
20x10
20x10

V-ups
65
50
52

Crunches
200
175

Then it was 20 mins on the treadmill started at 24% incline and decreased it every 5 mins. Speed 4 burned about 380 calories.

This has certainly been a good deload/reload week. There has been one thing though. Earlier this week I had some weird pressure in my lower abdominal/groin area. I've been monitoring it all week. Hopefully its just an upper groin strain. I'm going to bet it checked out as soon as I can get an appointment. There's no pain, but I know something is weird in that area. Obviously it hasn't stopped me from training. And as the week has gone by it has felt better. I'm just going to keep training smart.

RaSP · 06-30-2007, 09:30 PM

Heh, It really does come down to preference. I'm just the opposite of you, can't stand the thought of fish. Chicken of the land for me.

Impressive to make gains on a veg diet. You must have been dead on.

Oh wow! This is me! I just started back with fish about 15-18 months ago. So... what does a typical day look like for you nutrition-wise?
