Here's Monday's recap. I ended up missing a meal, because of a nap that went a bit long. All in all I think the rest probably did me more good than the meal. This is the time when I should be sleeping more for growth and recovery. It's just a bit difficult to get in all the sleep and meals. Either way I'm growing now and it feel's awesome. There's a lot more upper body thickness going on an my legs are up 1/2 an inch while still fairly lean.

Meal 1
10 eggwhites
1 egg
3/4tblsp honey
2tblsp raisins
1cup oatmeal
2tblsp PB

Meal 2
5oz tilapia
2.25 tblsp PB
1cup oatmeal
2tblsp raisins

Meal 3, 4
5oz salmon
1/2tbslp Enova
10oz sweet potato

Meal 5
8 eggwhites
1 egg
2tblsp PB
1cup oatmeal

Meal 6
10 eggwhites
1 egg
2tblsp PB
1cup oatmeal

Supps
Xtend Megadose 7 scoops during workout 15 scoops throughout the day
Vasocharge
Primal EAA
Glutaform
Creaform
Cissus
Alcalean
Pure ALA
Dialene4
Yohimbine HCL
Sesamin
Max CLA
Fish oil
GLA
Lean Green
ZMA
Multi
VitaminC
Echinacea
Zinc

Training
Back+Traps week 3 phase 1 Tri Phase Training

Deadlifts (full stop at bottom)
135x15 warm up
225x10 warm up
275x7
275x6
275x6
275x6
My lower back was still a bit tender. I really need to keep my hips underneath me during the first half of the lift. I can muscle it up, but that will only aggrivate my back. Form is key. When I do them right, I feel my back thicken and lats widen. I LOVE DEADLIFTS

Parallel Wide Grip Pullups
9
7
6
6
In a way my strength has gone up on these considering I weigh 7 pounds more than I did last week. I am loving the parallel grip. I feel the movement much more in my outer lats.

BB Bent Over Rows
205x5 Elbow started to hurt
185x10
185x10
185x10
Since I used a lighter weight I was able to place more focus on squeezing all the way through the contraction on these and got a great pump. My elbow problem is proving to be a blessing in disguise. It also should be better soon as I will be adding Elastamine to my Cissus later this week.

BB Shrug
275x10
275x10
275x10
275x7

Seated DB Shrug
100x10
100x10
100x10
100x10
Both of these trap exercises have felt great. I am using a slow controlled contraction and feeling it all the way up my neck. The pump and burn is great and they are taking on a whole new shape. THICKNESS!!!

Post workout cardio 20 mins medium/high intensity stationary bike.

I felt nice and strong today and surprised myself at being able to increase weights on the second and third sets of most movements.

I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with the results I'm getting so far. My delts are getting thicker as is my back.

Derek and I have decided that when I go into phase 3, my weak point training will be for arms (primarily biceps) and chest. My chest isn't exactly a weak point, but It is less impressive due to the advancment of my other bodyparts.

AbBench Crunches
100
Leg Raises
50
V-Ups
40
Hanging Twists
12

Had to pull out the leg raises to see how they felt. Going to keep the reps low for a while so I don't aggrevate my hernias. Have to do them though. I'm starting to resemble the top IFBB guys in the only way I'd never want to.

Here's Thursday's training. Diet was a free day today due to time constraints and going out to have some fun. If you want a great abs workout, go see Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. For the first time on this lean mass phase I had to resort to supplementing my calories and macros. Myoplex RTD's are the best things for me. They have the exact amount of protein I need and some carbs and good fat. For my post workout meal I bumped up the carb content by adding some honey. I rocked some sushi as well. MMmmm sushi.

Pre workout 10 minutes on treadmill
Lower B Phase 2 Week 4

Deadlifts
135x10
225x8
315x4
365x2
365x2
365x2 20 second hold at top of last rep.
My lower back is still about 90% and my form was not the best on the first set, so I didn't raise the weight and paid more attention to form.

Leg Press
200x20
810x2
810x2
810x1
Got stuck on the last rep and had to ease it onto the safety pegs and crawl out. It just occured to me that I could have spotted myself with my arms, but still don't know if it would have helped. I struggled with the final rep for a while.

Standing Smith Calf Raise
340x3
340x2
340x2 10 partials
Left Leg only
90x5 drop bodyx12
My calves were already sore after leg presses. The heavier weights were kicking my ass, but it a good way.

Here's Friday's recap
Phase 2 Week 4
Upper B

Incline BB Press
135x10
185x6
215x2 PR
220x2 PR
225x2 PR

Wide Parallel Grip Pullups
+25x2
+35x2
+35x2

Seated DB Shoulder Press
40x10
75x2 PR
75x2
75x2
I'm going to have to switch to Hammer Strength for these. I am having great difficulty getting the DBs in position to start the press and it is doing some damage to my left elbow.

Seated DB Shrugs
130x5 hold on last rep PR
130x4 hold on last rep
130x4 10 second hold on last rep
My gym's heaviest DBs are 130. That's why I did the extra reps, because there was no more weight to be had.

Incline Skullcrushers
110x2
110x2
110x2
The change from flat to incline on my skulls has made a huge difference in my development. Either it's just more effective for me, or just the fact that I was too accustomed to flat. As long as there's progress, I don't care why.

DB Curls
30x10
60x2 Bad form
55x2 Bad form
50x2
As I said, my elbow was aggrivated from doing the Shoulder presses and it took it's toll on my curls.

Pre workout 10 mins on treadmill Post workout 30 mins on bike.

Phase 2 was phenomenal. I knew I needed to work on my strength, but always thought it would take time away from me growing. Phase 2 gave me both strength and size. I am moving more weight than I ever thought I would and am still growing. My arms are mow 17 inches with cuts and my quads are 25 inches with cuts. Traps are taller and thicker. Lats are thicker and lower lats are wider. I couldn't ask for more.
Leg Raises
40
40
AbBench Crunches
100

Here's Monday's recap.

I should have never started the Myoplex. I'm addicted. It's been difficult for me to eat the quantity of food needed to get the results I desire, so the MRP's are kind of a break for my system and of course will help my stomach shrink a bit before I start my Cut Diet 4 weeks from now. I am getting all of my calories in though which is a plus.

Diet
Meal 1
Myoplex RTD
1 tblsp macadamia nut oil
4 tblsp honey

Meals 2,3
7.5oz shrimp
184g whole wheat pasta
1.5 tbslp Smart Balance oil

Meal 4
Myoplex RTD
2tblsp PB
2tblsp raisins
1cup oatmeal

Meal 5
Myoplex RTD
2tbslp PB
1cup oatmeal

Meal 6
Myoplex RTD

I added a scoop of Vasocharge to my workout Xtend/Primal EAA today and YEAH BUDDY it rocked.

Here's today's training.

Pre workout 9 minutes on the treadmill. I cut it short, because it looked like the gym was filling up and I only had a limited amount of time to get in my full body workout and didn't want to have to wait for equipment.

Full Body A Week 1 Phase 4

Squats
135x10
225x6
275x5 PR
275x5

SLDL
315x6
315x6

Seated Calf Raises
180x6
200x6

BB Bench
135x10
225x6 PR
225x4

BB Bent Over Row
245x6
245x6

Seated Military Press
155x4 PR
155x4

BB Shrug
335x6
335x6

CG Bench
205x6 PR
205x6

BB Curl
95x6
95x6

This workout was definately a challenge. Squats were difficult today, but my continuous tension was better and I went as deep as humanly possible.

My left elbow was pretty sore during my first set of BO Rows. It usually means I'm using too much arms and not enough back. Felt better on the second set. I think I end up hyperextending it when I deadlift and shrug. If it doesn't improve, I'll have to use light weights for my back and bi's and change my weak point training from chest and arms to chest and calves.

For the last two days I have been very tired in the evenings and am napping a lot. Workouts and work are still great, so I'm sure it's not "overtraining" I'm lifting more than ever. It could be that I'm becoming more sensative to the carbs, but it's only 4 more weeks, and they are helping me gain lean mass so it's worth it. When I go back on the Cut Diet I'll be better able to discern the cause.

The body is not a text book, but I'm learning more and more about what makes mine most effective.

Tuesday

HIIT: Stationary bike
10 minute warm up at level 10
10 minutes HIIT 10 15 second sprints at level 12 with 10 45 second recovery at level 10
LI
20 minutes reverse eliptical

Doing sprints with a system full of carbs is WAY different than without. It felt like my legs were going to explode. The pump was EXTREME. Call me crazy, but I actually feel like it's easier to sprint while on the Cut Diet, because my legs don't get as heavy. Needless to say for the next 4 weeks I'll be doing 10-15 sprints once or twice a week. I don't have the time for my post workout cardio on Monday and Wednesday, so this should compensate for that. I am also going to treat my HIIT days as On days for the Lean Mass Diet
