Great Workout. My Strength is still consistent which is something that did not happen on my last Cut Diet. I also wasn't using Glutamine (Glutaform) for the first 4 weeks of that Cut. My pump was sick which surprised me, since my refeed was Saturday night/Sunday morning. (I work graveyard shift on the weekend) I am wondering if the Primal EAA has anything to do with it. Xtend/Primal EAA is much easier for me to drink than Substance/Xtend was and more importantly doesn't bloat me at all.

After work I took the Stubborn Fat Stack, 4Acalean/3Dialene4/3Yohimbine HCL. Then I ended up doing 40 minutes on the treadmil at the usual 21 incline and 4 speed. I say ended up doing, because The SFS had quite the euphoric effect now that I'm using 3 Yohimbine and I didn't want to get off the treadmill. I was feeling good and even enjoying the cheezy reality TV I had on to help pass the time.

And on another note, I finally saw a doctor today. I have not 1, not 2, but 3 hernias. He said I probably was born with them and would have never known unless I became I bodybuilder. The good news is surgery is usually not reccomended unless someone is in pain. I just have to be carefull while leg pressing. Not a problem for me because I don't leg press very deeply to protect my back. I also need to be careful while squatting. And I have too make sure my diet doesn't get me constipated. Looks like I'll have to get in all of my veggie portions and keep the almonds to a minimum. I also should only do upper ab work, which I will keep to a minimum and decide how much I need once my BF% drops and I can see how they look.

Best diagnosis I could hope for, so I'm happy. They haven't slowed me down yet, and I don't expect them to. Because It's Time to Get F'N SHREDDED!!!

He did suggest I go to a surgical specialist for another opinion, which I will some time in the next coulple of months.

Crazy news! Be careful with that back.

Just think....it will make winning that much sweeter!

Thanks, haiz, but it's not herniated disks. They are lower abdominal hernias.

Here's today's workout so far

Squats
135x10 warmup
185x6 warm up
225x6
225x6
225x5
Ok, so now that I know what's going on I was hyper sensative today and probably psyched my self out on squats. Although the pounds were lower, my form was MUCH improved as wel as continous tension. Today my ass was truly touching my ankles while squatting.

Seated Calf Raises
180x6
180x6
180x6

SLDL
305x6
305x6
305x6
These were wicked today and had me happily walking funny between sets.

Walking DB Lunges
40x20 steps
45x20
45x20

These blew my quads up like a balloon. Had great stimulation in the hams and glutes as well. Next week I will go heavier.

Then I took my Stubborn Fat Stack (glad Marc shares his secrets) Did a round of mandatories. My friend and soon to be BB.com transformation of the week winner, Nathan was in today, so he was able to help guide me through my back poses. I'm not happy with the way I do my rear lat spread. Hardcore posing practice starts next week. The rear lat spread will be perfected.

Then I jumped on the treadmill for 30 mins at 21 incline and 4 speed. I really focused on my hams during this. Need that DEEP separation.

I also did 1 60 to 70 yard sprint just a bit ago, because some a$$hole decided it would be cute to open my side gate. I didn't know this when I let my dog out and she decided to check out the neighborhood and thought we were playing once I found her. Sprint felt great though Nothing like a random pitbull wandering down the street. Look like it's time to buy some locks.

If it cools down tonight I'll walk Red for about 30-45 minutes, if not it's back on the treadmill later. Either way I'll take a second dose of the SFS.

**haiz69** · 08-08-2007, 01:48 AM

Sounds like you are liking the SFS combo. I like the ingredients separately, but I have never combined them all at the same time.

It's agreat thermogenic and seriously has a good amount of euphoria going on. The Alcalean blend very well with the other two to enhance the focus side of the stack. The key for me seems to be using 3 Yohimbne HCL with each dose. I'm going to give it a few weeks, then I might bump up to a max of 4.

I finished last night off by walking my dog, Red, for about 40-45 minutes. Between the heat and the Stubborn Fat Stack, I worked up quite a sweat. I make sure to walk her where there are many hills. Sometimes ziz zagging through different blocks to get even more hill climbing.

I woke today and drank my Xtend/Primal EAA/Glutaform/Beta-Alanine cocktail. And with it took the SFS, 2 Anagen/2Fenotest, 3 Cissus (my right knee was hurting a bit last night), 1 phosphatyl serine, and my multi. Then went to the gym and did 45 minutes at 21 incline speed 4 on the treadmill. Burned around 875 calories and drank 6 scoops of Xtend the whole time.

On Mondays and Wednesdays I'm cramped for time between the gym and work, so I ate 2 1/4 tblsp of natty pb and drank 2 1/4 scoops of Substance (yes, you can still find it online). I took 1 Sesamin and 2 fish oil with my WPI.
This is of course not ideal while on the Cut Diet. I didn't get my veggies, and drank most of my meal. It is more effective than my last Cut Diet, but I must rearrange my schedule so that I can wake up earlier on these days and hit the gym; leaving more than 35 minutes to get from the gym to on the floor at the restaurant.

Meal 2
4oz Tilapia
4oz Avacado
1 1/2 cup Asparagus
6.5oz Grapefruit
Mrs. Dash Hot and Spicy Seasoning (I've switched from Frank's Red Hot for less sodium)
2 Max CLA
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest

Meal 3
7oz Tilapia/Tuna Steak Mixture
4oz Avacado
1 1/2 cup Asparagus
6.5oz Grapefruit
1 Sesamin
2 Fish oil

Meal 4
2 1/4 Scoops Substance+1 scoop Glutaform= 1/4 tblspn PB mixed into thick pudding
1 1/2 cup Green Beans
2 Max CLA
Stubborn Fat Stack
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest

My final 2 meals will be the same portions using Tilapia, Avacado, Spinach, and Grapefruit. Sesamin and fish oil with meal 5, and 2
Max CLA/2 Anagen/2 Fenotest with meal 6.

Then before bed will be my 2 scoops Xtend/1 scoop Glutaform/2 scoops NitroCharge/2 scoops Beta-Alanine cocktail with 3 ZMA and 3 Cissus.

Thought for today:
The war is with myself. It's with that voice that tells me I can't get10 reps. The voice that tell's me it's OK to talk to people between sets. That voice that tells me I'm looking fine, no need to measure that or do the evening cardio.

The war is not with the Iron, rather waged on a field of it. Iron is my ally, nutitrion my support as I win this war and sculpt my masterpiece.

Bill_Finkbiner · 08-10-2007, 11:31 AM

Here's Thursday's recap.

Diet/Supps

1 Phosphatyl Serine
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest
2 Cissus
4 Alcalean
3 Yohimbine HCL
Multi
2g Vitamin C
2g L-Lysine
1 Echinacea/Goldenseal
50mg Zinc
The last 5 listed are for immune support. With the lower BF and intense training combined with working around a lot of cigarette smoke, I need to keep my immune system high. When most people get colds. I get a bit of a stuffy nose.

Preworkout
2 scoops VasoCharge
2 scoops Xtend

Workout Nutrition
1 Scoop Primal EAA
6 Scoops Xtend

Post Workout
2 scoops Beta-Alanine

Meal 1
2 1/4 scoops Sustance
2 1/4 tblsp PB
8oz Grapefruit
1 Sesamin
2 Fish oil
WPI and PB were blended into a thick pudding and eaten before the grapefruit due to lack of fiberous veggies to controll carb digestion. I only had 1/2 an hour between workout and my massage appointment. Again this is not optimum, but much better than my last prep.

Meal 2
12 Egg Whites
4oz Avacado
2.33 cups Spinach
6.5oz Grapefruit
2 Max CLA

Meal 3
7oz grilled Tuna Steak
4oz Avacado
8oz Asparagus
6.5oz Grapefruit
1 Sesamin
2 Fish oil
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest
The asparagus in this meal was a little light, but the Dr. said due to my hernias that I not get too full or bloated. The only place I will EVER cut portions is from carbs.

Meal 4
2.25 scoops Substance
2.25 scoops PB
8oz Asparagus
6.5oz Grapefruit
2 Max CLA

Pre Cardio
4 Alcalean

2 Cissus
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest
3 ZMA
2g VitaminC
2g L-Lysine
1 Echinacea/Goldenseal

Training:
Today Freakin' Rocked!!! The whole workout felt great. My pump was insane and I haven't had a refeed since Tuesday night. I hit side chests and most musculars between Chest sets. Side tris and rear dbl bis for delts sets. Then most musculars for traps sets. As the workout went on it just got more and more intense. Rest times got shorter and shorter.

Warm up
Internal and external rotator cuff DB exercises

Incline BB Press
135x10 warm up
175x10
165x10
155x8
These have a tendancy to bother my left shoulder, so I have stopped lowering the bar all the way to my collar bone, but my elbow still go below parallel and get a good stretch.

HammerStrength Bench Press
80x8
80x6.5
75x7
Not that happy with these. Part of it could be the lose rest time. Last prep my presses suffered pound wise. I don't think it's my pecs, though. I think it has more to do with my shoulders.

Incline DB Flys
35x10 warm up
45x10
45x10
45x10
This is where things kicked into high gear. Had cable-like striations across my chest during side chest shots which got me amped up.

Lateral DB Raises
30x10
30x10
30x10
I will finally go heavier on these next week, but if my form suffers I'll go back to the 30's.

1 Arm Cable Laterals
30x10
30x10
30x8

Seated DB Shrugs
90x10
90x10
90x10

Smith Machine Shrugs
315x10
315x8
315x9

Again a great day. I finished this workout in about 50 minutes. I loved the intensity. It was one of those days at the gym where everybody in there is busting their ass.

I ended up taking a long nap tonight. But still got in my cardio with Red Bud. We took a 45 minute walk through the hill if the hood.

Thought for the day:
Energy and intensity is contagious. Everyday I walk into the gym I want to infect it with focus and intensity. Training so fiercely that everyone gets caught up in it. I know when that guy is training. We all have them in our gyms. I'm thankful for him. I want to be him.

Training
I did something today that I never do. I trained with my friend Nathan that Many of you will get to know, because he is going to be an upcoming BB.com Transformation of the week. In just over a year he lost 100 pounds and competed with me last June. He works hard and even added some deadlifts as a superset to our fist set of:

We did this as a superset to finish off the workout with a huge pump

We did the whole workout as a I go you go with no very little rest. Did the whole thing in under an hour; Popping front and rear lat spreads between stes and hitting the side tris. It was great to lift with Nate today. He works damn hard and is going to be a Monster next year at the Show Me Naturals.

Then I did a round of mandatories followed by 45 mins at 21 incline 4 speed on the treadmill burning 875 calories.

Thought for today:
Not much now except for Mmmmm oatmeal and raisins with honey. I love the Cut Diet.

Alright, here's saturdya's recap. It might not be as detailed due to it being a hectic day, but here we go. I must start off by saying it was a GREAT DAY. Exhausting, yes, but extremely productive.

Meal 1
2.25 scoops Substance
2.25 scoops PB
9oz Grapefruit
99mg potasium
1 Sesamin
2 Fish oil
I added potasium to Saturday's supps after suffering through the mother of all leg cramps last week after getting off work. My Vastus medialis was cramped and spasmed forabout 5 minutes. I never want to feel that again.

Meal2
7oz Tuna
4oz Avacado
6oz Asparagus
6.5oz Grapefruit
2 Max Cla
2 Anagen/2 Fenotest

6.5oz Grapefruit
99mg Potasium
1 Sesamin
2 Fish Oil
4 Alcalean
3 Yohimbine HCL
3 Dialene4
Taking the SFS helped me to be able to rock my whole night at work. It was BUSY and fast paced. I was all over the place, in a great mood, remembering everything I needed to, and not tired, angry, or stressed.

All through my 9 hours at work I was drinking n 12 scoops of Xtend in a gallon of water. I initially brought it to combat the oncoming DOMS from my leg workout and to help them recover. Luckily I did, because I had about 5 hours between meals. Not ideal, but I did not stress over it. I was too busy. Last prep I would have been flipping out because of the amount of time. But that stress is more catabolic than just the extended time. I was slamming Xtend all night anyway. Constant supply ob BCAA's to save my lean mass. As a wise man once said, "YEAH BUDDY"!!!

Meal 4
2.25 Scoops Substance
2.25 tblsp PB
6.5oz Grapefruit
2 Max CLA

Here is where I laid down for a nap which turned into a whole sleep session. Sometimes you've got to listen to your body. Mine said SLEEP and so I did. I woke up today refreshed and with no leg cramps or DOMS!!!!

Saturday's Training
Front Squats
115x15 warmup
125x15
125x15
125x15
My quads were cramping hard after the 2nd set. On Freakin fire. I got 2 more reps on my final set than lst week. It's all mental. The pain was there and I had to make it my freind. Form and bar control was improved and all reps were up and down with no pause a the top or bottom.

Leg Press
540x15
540x15
540x15
I could barely get into position for the first set, but after it was done some of the lactic acid had dissapated which was a welcome release. I lightened thes up from last week, becasue the doctor said this is a movement to be extra careful with due to my hernias. Pressure in the lower abdomin is not good at this time.

Leg Extentions super set Leg Curls
130x15 / 80x15
130x15 / 80x15
130x15 / 80x15
I did these as a super set to cut down on time. They killed my freind pain had returned. This is the point I had the wonderful leg day light headedness. Cramping was back. LOVIN IT. I think I'm going to super set all of my opposing isolation mves from now on. The pump is supreme.

Standing Calf Raise
90x15
90x15
90x15
These were difficult due to the cramping in my quads and hams from the last super set. Really targeted the outer calf

Seated Calf Raises
120x15
120x15
120x15

I made it. And in about 50 minutes This Workout had a nausea rating of 8.75 nice and queasy as well as light heaed. I read about a Polliquin routine that is designed to make you nautious so that the body will release more GH to counteract it. I don't know if it's true, but I just want to train as intensly as possible and not hold anything back.

Now it was time for 30 mins on the treadmil at 21 incline speed 3-3.5. Kept it slow and just wanted to get the acid out of my legs.

Thougth for the day:
Arnold in Pumping Iron said that a bodybuilder is only limited by their pain tolerance. Layne has related his story of the great Texas Shredder Dave Goodin saying that to build legs naturally you have to be willing to go through a lot of pain. Pain is a freind of mine. Without him I never would have been introduced to pleasure.

Bill_Finkbiner · 08-13-2007, 07:42 AM

Here's Sunday's stats and Pics
Last week's weight 187.5
this week 186
BF% no change at 6.4%

I'm not too worried about the calipers not changing, becuase I think the pics show a leaner physique.

I went with no flash this week. They are dark, but should be useful

Bill_Finkbiner Pro Stature Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 406 Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13	Re: A New Breed of Beast Here's Monday's workout. I was pressed for time as I am on 99% of my Monday's, so I supersetted my CG Bench and BB Curls. BB Bench 135x10 warm up 185x6 warm up 210x6 210x6 210x5 BB Bent Over Rows 135x10 warmup 225x6 225x6 225x6 Standing BB Military Press 115x6 125x6 125x5.5 BB Shrugs 275x6 280x6 280x6 Decline CG Bench / BB Curls 185x6 / 95x6 185x6 / 95x6 185x6 / 95x6 Great Workout. My Strength is still consistent which is something that did not happen on my last Cut Diet. I also wasn't using Glutamine (Glutaform) for the first 4 weeks of that Cut. My pump was sick which surprised me, since my refeed was Saturday night/Sunday morning. (I work graveyard shift on the weekend) I am wondering if the Primal EAA has anything to do with it. Xtend/Primal EAA is much easier for me to drink than Substance/Xtend was and more importantly doesn't bloat me at all. After work I took the Stubborn Fat Stack, 4Acalean/3Dialene4/3Yohimbine HCL. Then I ended up doing 40 minutes on the treadmil at the usual 21 incline and 4 speed. I say ended up doing, because The SFS had quite the euphoric effect now that I'm using 3 Yohimbine and I didn't want to get off the treadmill. I was feeling good and even enjoying the cheezy reality TV I had on to help pass the time. And on another note, I finally saw a doctor today. I have not 1, not 2, but 3 hernias. He said I probably was born with them and would have never known unless I became I bodybuilder. The good news is surgery is usually not reccomended unless someone is in pain. I just have to be carefull while leg pressing. Not a problem for me because I don't leg press very deeply to protect my back. I also need to be careful while squatting. And I have too make sure my diet doesn't get me constipated. Looks like I'll have to get in all of my veggie portions and keep the almonds to a minimum. I also should only do upper ab work, which I will keep to a minimum and decide how much I need once my BF% drops and I can see how they look. Best diagnosis I could hope for, so I'm happy. They haven't slowed me down yet, and I don't expect them to. Because It's Time to Get F'N SHREDDED!!! He did suggest I go to a surgical specialist for another opinion, which I will some time in the next coulple of months. __________________ Scivation Athlete TeamScivation.com www.Scivation.com www.primaforce.com Its not a squat unless your ass touches your ankles "If you beat me, it's not because you outworked me!"- Layne Norton

I like the ingredients separately, but I have never combined them all at the same time. __________________ Supplements.net - Quality Supplements, Great Prices, Awesome Service

Diet/Supps Wake up cocktail 2 scoops Xtend 1 scoop Primal EAA 1 scoop Glutaform 1 Scoop Beta-Alanine 1 Phosphatyl Serine 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest 2 Cissus 4 Alcalean 3 Yohimbine HCL Multi 2g Vitamin C 2g L-Lysine 1 Echinacea/Goldenseal 50mg Zinc The last 5 listed are for immune support. With the lower BF and intense training combined with working around a lot of cigarette smoke, I need to keep my immune system high. When most people get colds. I get a bit of a stuffy nose. Preworkout 2 scoops VasoCharge 2 scoops Xtend Workout Nutrition 1 Scoop Primal EAA 6 Scoops Xtend Post Workout 2 scoops Beta-Alanine 1 scoop Creaform 1 scoop Glutaform 2 scoops Xtend 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest 4 Alcalean 2g Vitamin C Meal 1 2 1/4 scoops Sustance 2 1/4 tblsp PB 8oz Grapefruit 1 Sesamin 2 Fish oil WPI and PB were blended into a thick pudding and eaten before the grapefruit due to lack of fiberous veggies to controll carb digestion. I only had 1/2 an hour between workout and my massage appointment. Again this is not optimum, but much better than my last prep. Meal 2 12 Egg Whites 4oz Avacado 2.33 cups Spinach 6.5oz Grapefruit 2 Max CLA Meal 3 7oz grilled Tuna Steak 4oz Avacado 8oz Asparagus 6.5oz Grapefruit 1 Sesamin 2 Fish oil 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest The asparagus in this meal was a little light, but the Dr. said due to my hernias that I not get too full or bloated. The only place I will EVER cut portions is from carbs. Meal 4 2.25 scoops Substance 2.25 scoops PB 8oz Asparagus 6.5oz Grapefruit 2 Max CLA Pre Cardio 4 Alcalean 3 Yohimbine HCL 2 scoops Xtend Meal 5 (which I'm eating while I type) 7oz Tuna/Tilapia 3.3oz Avacado 6 Almonds 187g Green Beans 6.5 oz Grapefruit 1 Sesamin 2 Fish oil Meal 6 will be 7oz packaged Tuna 40z Avacado 2.33 cups Spinch Topped with Waldens Farms Sundried Tomato Dressing 2 Max CLA 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest Pre Bed 2 scoops Xtend/1 scoop Glutaform/2 scoops Beta-Alanine/2 Scoops Nitrocharge 2 Cissus 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest 3 ZMA 2g VitaminC 2g L-Lysine 1 Echinacea/Goldenseal Training: Today Freakin' Rocked!!! The whole workout felt great. My pump was insane and I haven't had a refeed since Tuesday night. I hit side chests and most musculars between Chest sets. Side tris and rear dbl bis for delts sets. Then most musculars for traps sets. As the workout went on it just got more and more intense. Rest times got shorter and shorter. Warm up Internal and external rotator cuff DB exercises Incline BB Press 135x10 warm up 175x10 165x10 155x8 These have a tendancy to bother my left shoulder, so I have stopped lowering the bar all the way to my collar bone, but my elbow still go below parallel and get a good stretch. HammerStrength Bench Press 80x8 80x6.5 75x7 Not that happy with these. Part of it could be the lose rest time. Last prep my presses suffered pound wise. I don't think it's my pecs, though. I think it has more to do with my shoulders. Incline DB Flys 35x10 warm up 45x10 45x10 45x10 This is where things kicked into high gear. Had cable-like striations across my chest during side chest shots which got me amped up. Lateral DB Raises 30x10 30x10 30x10 I will finally go heavier on these next week, but if my form suffers I'll go back to the 30's. 1 Arm Cable Laterals 30x10 30x10 30x8 Seated DB Shrugs 90x10 90x10 90x10 Smith Machine Shrugs 315x10 315x8 315x9 Again a great day. I finished this workout in about 50 minutes. I loved the intensity. It was one of those days at the gym where everybody in there is busting their ass. I ended up taking a long nap tonight. But still got in my cardio with Red Bud. We took a 45 minute walk through the hill if the hood. Thought for the day: Energy and intensity is contagious. Everyday I walk into the gym I want to infect it with focus and intensity. Training so fiercely that everyone gets caught up in it. I know when that guy is training. We all have them in our gyms. I'm thankful for him. I want to be him. __________________ Scivation Athlete TeamScivation.com www.Scivation.com www.primaforce.com Its not a squat unless your ass touches your ankles "If you beat me, it's not because you outworked me!"- Layne Norton

I trained with my friend Nathan that Many of you will get to know, because he is going to be an upcoming BB.com Transformation of the week. In just over a year he lost 100 pounds and competed with me last June. He works hard and even added some deadlifts as a superset to our fist set of: Wide Grip Pullups 10 10 8 Close Paralell Grip Lat Pulldowns 170x10 180x10 180x7 Medium Parallel Grip Low Row 180x10 180x10 180x10 1 Arm DB Row 80x10 80x10 80x10 DB Curls 35x12 35x8 30x11 Skull Crushers 65x10 75x10 75x7 Cable Curls Superset Tricep Pressdown 80x12 / 170x12 80x12 / 170x12 80x12 / 170x11 We did this as a superset to finish off the workout with a huge pump We did the whole workout as a I go you go with no very little rest. Did the whole thing in under an hour; Popping front and rear lat spreads between stes and hitting the side tris. It was great to lift with Nate today. He works damn hard and is going to be a Monster next year at the Show Me Naturals. Then I did a round of mandatories followed by 45 mins at 21 incline 4 speed on the treadmill burning 875 calories. Thought for today: Not much now except for Mmmmm oatmeal and raisins with honey. I love the Cut Diet. __________________ Scivation Athlete TeamScivation.com www.Scivation.com www.primaforce.com Its not a squat unless your ass touches your ankles "If you beat me, it's not because you outworked me!"- Layne Norton

It might not be as detailed due to it being a hectic day, but here we go. I must start off by saying it was a GREAT DAY. Exhausting, yes, but extremely productive. Diet/supps Diet/Supps Wake up cocktail 2 scoops Xtend 1 scoop Primal EAA 1 scoop Glutaform 1 Scoop Beta-Alanine 1 Phosphatyl Serine 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest 2 Cissus 4 Alcalean 3 Yohimbine HCL Multi 2g Vitamin C 2g L-Lysine 1 Echinacea/Goldenseal 50mg Zinc Preworkout 2 scoops VasoCharge 2 scoops Xtend Workout Nutrition 1 Scoop Primal EAA 6 Scoops Xtend Pre Cardio 4 Alcalean 3 Dialene4 Post Workout 2 scoops Beta-Alanine 1 scoop Creaform 1 scoop Glutaform 2 scoops Xtend 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest 2g Vitamin C Meal 1 2.25 scoops Substance 2.25 scoops PB 9oz Grapefruit 99mg potasium 1 Sesamin 2 Fish oil I added potasium to Saturday's supps after suffering through the mother of all leg cramps last week after getting off work. My Vastus medialis was cramped and spasmed forabout 5 minutes. I never want to feel that again. Meal2 7oz Tuna 4oz Avacado 6oz Asparagus 6.5oz Grapefruit 2 Max Cla 2 Anagen/2 Fenotest Meal 3 7oz Tuna 4oz Avacado 6oz Asparagus 6.5oz Grapefruit 99mg Potasium 1 Sesamin 2 Fish Oil 4 Alcalean 3 Yohimbine HCL 3 Dialene4 Taking the SFS helped me to be able to rock my whole night at work. It was BUSY and fast paced. I was all over the place, in a great mood, remembering everything I needed to, and not tired, angry, or stressed. All through my 9 hours at work I was drinking n 12 scoops of Xtend in a gallon of water. I initially brought it to combat the oncoming DOMS from my leg workout and to help them recover. Luckily I did, because I had about 5 hours between meals. Not ideal, but I did not stress over it. I was too busy. Last prep I would have been flipping out because of the amount of time. But that stress is more catabolic than just the extended time. I was slamming Xtend all night anyway. Constant supply ob BCAA's to save my lean mass. As a wise man once said, "YEAH BUDDY"!!! Meal 4 2.25 Scoops Substance 2.25 tblsp PB 6.5oz Grapefruit 2 Max CLA Here is where I laid down for a nap which turned into a whole sleep session. Sometimes you've got to listen to your body. Mine said SLEEP and so I did. I woke up today refreshed and with no leg cramps or DOMS!!!! Saturday's Training Front Squats 115x15 warmup 125x15 125x15 125x15 My quads were cramping hard after the 2nd set. On Freakin fire. I got 2 more reps on my final set than lst week. It's all mental. The pain was there and I had to make it my freind. Form and bar control was improved and all reps were up and down with no pause a the top or bottom. Leg Press 540x15 540x15 540x15 I could barely get into position for the first set, but after it was done some of the lactic acid had dissapated which was a welcome release. I lightened thes up from last week, becasue the doctor said this is a movement to be extra careful with due to my hernias. Pressure in the lower abdomin is not good at this time. Leg Extentions super set Leg Curls 130x15 / 80x15 130x15 / 80x15 130x15 / 80x15 I did these as a super set to cut down on time. They killed my freind pain had returned. This is the point I had the wonderful leg day light headedness. Cramping was back. LOVIN IT. I think I'm going to super set all of my opposing isolation mves from now on. The pump is supreme. Standing Calf Raise 90x15 90x15 90x15 These were difficult due to the cramping in my quads and hams from the last super set. Really targeted the outer calf Seated Calf Raises 120x15 120x15 120x15 I made it. And in about 50 minutes This Workout had a nausea rating of 8.75 nice and queasy as well as light heaed. I read about a Polliquin routine that is designed to make you nautious so that the body will release more GH to counteract it. I don't know if it's true, but I just want to train as intensly as possible and not hold anything back. Now it was time for 30 mins on the treadmil at 21 incline speed 3-3.5. Kept it slow and just wanted to get the acid out of my legs. Thougth for the day: Arnold in Pumping Iron said that a bodybuilder is only limited by their pain tolerance. Layne has related his story of the great Texas Shredder Dave Goodin saying that to build legs naturally you have to be willing to go through a lot of pain. Pain is a freind of mine. Without him I never would have been introduced to pleasure. __________________ Scivation Athlete TeamScivation.com www.Scivation.com www.primaforce.com Its not a squat unless your ass touches your ankles "If you beat me, it's not because you outworked me!"- Layne Norton

I went with no flash this week. They are dark, but should be useful __________________ Scivation Athlete TeamScivation.com www.Scivation.com www.primaforce.com Its not a squat unless your ass touches your ankles "If you beat me, it's not because you outworked me!"- Layne Norton Last edited by Bill_Finkbiner : 08-13-2007 at 08:05 AM.
