Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | That's the beauty of precontest. The more weight you lose, the easier it is to do bodyweight exercises. Derek wanted me to do some pre and post refeed pics so that he could make some adjustments to my refeed so that I stay fuller between refeeds. These are from my Wednesday refeed. Black trunks are pre and blue trunks are post. Pre ![]() Post ![]() Pre ![]() Post ![]()

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | Alright, lots of workouts to recap. Again, I am on my new training program designed by Derek. The focus is on legs of course and my lower lats and lat width. My upper back is in good shape, but my width is lacking and the line from my upper lats to lower gets broken. I've added two more supps to my arsenal. Primaforce Pure ALA and Lean Green. Both are potent ati oxidants. As I get leaner and the weather gets cooler, I need to stay healthy. They also both aid in fat loss. ALA helps with shuttling nutrion into the muscle cells rather than fat, and green tea is a potent fat burner. Diet is Cut Diet 2500, but most days is closer to 2200, because of my hernias. I can't eat as many veggies as I'm supposed to when I'm working, too much internal pressure while on my feet for eight hours. The hernias do not bother me while training so it's all good. Thursday's training: Push Load Day BB Bench Press 135x10 warm up 175x6 warm up 205x6 205x5 205x3 pause x1 Standing Military Press 115x6 115x6 115x5 I do these the old school way. Standing, straight back, no lean, all delts and tris. Decline CG Bench Press 185x6 185x4 175x6 Dips 10 +10x7 +10x8 AbBench Crunches 300 Posing 1 round of Mandatories Cardio 5 min warm up 15 mins HIIT on stationary bike 15 sprints at 14, 15 LI at 10 30 mins revrse eliptical PM Cardio 40 mins treadmil 9 incline 3 speed Friday's Training Pull Volume Day T-Bar Rows 50x15 warm up 100x12 125x12 125x12 I haven't done these in FOREVER. They felt great. I use 25 pound plates for more range of motion. Wide Parallel Grip Lat Pulldown 125x12 130x12 135x12 Medium Parallel Grip Seated Cable Row 180x12 180x12 180x12 Straight Arm Pulldown 110x12 120x12 130x12 DB Shrugs 90x12 90x12 90x12 Behind the Back Smith Shrugs 275x12 275x12 275x12 DB Curls 30x12 30x12 30x12 Hammer Curls 25x12 25x12 25x12 Cable Curls 70x12 75x12 80x12 Posing 2 rounds of mandatories Cardio 5 mins warm up 15 mins HIIT on stationary bike. 15 sprints just like yesterday 40 mins reverse eliptical Saturday Legs VOLUME Day Leg Press 250x20 warm up 450x20 500x20 525x20 Front Squats 100x20 115x17 115x16 Extensions 120x20 120x16 120x15 Leg curls 70x20 70x17 70x15 DB Lunges 35x15 35x15 35x15 Had a nice little dry heave during the second set. Smith Standing Calf Raise 140x15 140x12 140x12 Seated Calf Raise 100x20 100x20 100x20 Posing 1 round of mandatories Cardio You guessed it HIIT on the Stationary bike. 15 sprints. I was sure that these would be impossible today, but I was wrong. Posing helped my legs recover a bit. The first few sprints weren't as fast as usual, but about 1/2 way in the speed picked back up. 15 mins reverse eliptical BUSY night at work, so it should equal a PM Cardio session. I drank about 8 scoops of Xtend through out my 8 hour shift. This week ROCKED!!! I love my new training, and the Cut Diet is not a diet to me, it's what and how I eat. I feel as though I've gained a bit of lean mass this week, but the scale and pics will tell the tale

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | NEWS FLASH Then NANBF has ruled and I am ALLOWED to compete in the Gateway Naturals!!!!!!!! I had thought they would not allow me to compete, but since it has almost been the full year since I've used estrogen blocker, (it's got an X in the name but no numbers), and since I in no way used it to prepare for the contest, and live a total DRUG FREE LIFE I can compete. I went to Marc, Derek, and Semper27 for advice and they all agreed that I will be ready in 11 days. My main goal was of course to do the Clash and bring a drastically improved physique to the stage than I did in June. I am confident that I have made those drastic improvements. Now it's time to get ready to be onstage. I'm going to have to pose my glutes off to make sure I have the stamina. As of now I will be dropping the Yohimbine HCL. It is know to cause some water retention and I naturally carry more water than I would like. After I finish this meal of Tilapia, asparagus and macadamia nut oil, it's back to the gym to tan, POSE, and do probably an hour on the treadmil. My glutes are close to coming in anyway, so why not see if it can healthfully be done in 11 days. I've been learning from the best about how to set your goals high and acheive them. TEAM SCIVATION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | Here's Monday and Tuesday's training. Monday: Pull Load Day Deadlifts 135x10 warm up 225x5 warm up 275x8 285x8 295x9 Tweaked my back a bit on the first working set, but only enough to make me extra concious of my form. Pullups 8 7 6 Bent Over Rows 185x8 185x8 185x8 BB Shrugs 275x8 275x8 275x8 BB Curls 80x8 90x6 90x5 Posing: 1 round of mandatories Unfortunately one of my co workers was sick and I had to pull a 10 hour shift at the Diner. I didn't get home until 1am and was beat. No cardio on Monday. I was NOT happy about having to work so long. It makes me crazy to think that I can sleep 5 hours a night, train HARD for 3 hours a day and be on a caloric defecit, but still make it to work and stay healthy. The alkaline nature of the Cut Diet and of course the glutamine product of the year, Xtend, help immensly. Tuesday: Push Volume Day Incline Smith Press 135x10 warm up 175x12 175x11 175x7.5 I haven't done these in 2 years. I did them Serge Nubret style, extra wide grip. My hands were touching the collars on the outside of the bar. This provides MUCH MORE pec isolation and almost no delt or triceps work. Decline Smith Press 175x10 175x10 175x11 Extra wide grip on these as well Incline Cable Flys 40x9 45x5 x 35x5 forgot to lower the weight when I put on the 5 lb plates 35x8 Cable Cross 40x12 40x12 50x12 At this point my chest was skin bursting swollen. I had never had a pump like this before. DB Shoulder Press 40x12 40x12 40x10 DB Laterals 25x12 25x12 25x12 1 Arm Cable Laterals 30x9 20x12 20x12 Skull Crushers 45x15 55x12 55x10 V-Bar Pressdowns 120x12 120x12 120x12 Posing 1 round of mandatories PM 3 rounds of mandatories Cardio HIIT 5 min warm up 15 sprints at 14, 15 LI at 10 30 mins reverse eliptical PM 30 mins reverse eliptical AbBench crunches 100 100 Seated Twists 50 each side I tanned before posing and by the time I was done I was pouring with sweat. Then while doing cardio I decided to wear sweats and a long sleeve shirt to keep my body temp high and hopefully aid in thermogenisis. I of course drank my 4 scoops of Xtend and 1 scoop of Primal EAA. When I got home I stepped on the scale and weighed 177.5, as opposed to my Sunday morning cold empty stomach weight of 178.5. This just shows how much water I am holding. No worries though. The rest of this week will be HIGH INTENSITY!!! I'm not at all worried about muscle loss. I've got my Xtend, Primal EAA, and am still eating a lot of Cut Diet Calories. I will be taking Lean Green with every meal as I find it gives me a great thermogenic reaction.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | As I've said over the last few weeks, I have been feeling my hernias a bit while waiting tables, so to counter that I have dropped my veggie intake to take up less space in my abdomen and therefore have less pressure. A big meal like my refeed is fine, because it's right before I go to bed and on my days off I don't feel them becasue I'm not on my feet. Here's Wednesday's meals Meals 1,2,3 7oz tilapia 5oz asparagus 3tblsp Enova Meal 4 7oz tilapia 2tblsp PB 6.5oz grapfruit Meal 5 3oz tilapia 10 eggwhites 2tblsp PB 6.5oz PB Meal 6 REFEED 12oz asparagus (this is difficult for me to get down lots o'veggies) 1 1/4 dry cups oatmeal 3/4tblsp honey 18 almonds 2tblsp raisins 12oz sweet potato 2tblsp PB Supps Xtend Prinal EAA VasoCharge Cissus Phosphatidyl Serine Anagen Fenotest Sesamin Fishoil Creaform Glutaform CLA ALA Lean Green Taurine Multi Alcalean Dialene4 ZMA Yes it's a lot of supps, but I'm putting the hammer down and need all the Extra help I can get. Training Legs Load Day Squats 135x10 warm up 185x8 205x6 205x5 Seated Calf Raise 170x6 160x8 160x7 SLDL 3x225x8 PM Posing/Cardio 3 rounds of mandatories 1 30 second hold of front relaxed emphasis on flexing legs HARD. This is my weak point as far as stamina. Most of the time onstage is in the front, or with the legs posed the same way. This can be brutal. I have to pose my legs HARD to have the separations show deeply Usual HIIT 5min warm up 15 sprints at 14, 15 LI at 10 on stationary bike 30 minutes reverse eliptical. I hit this HARD. Not so much LI, but a good intense session with some long fast paced sections. I did not plan this, it just happened. I looked down at one point with 12:02 left on the clock and just kicked it into overdrive. The whloe time telling myself that it was 12 minutes and two seconds to acheive greatness. I did the eliptical wearing sweats and a long sleeve shirt witha towel over my head. I was POURING with sweat. I think the elevated body heat helped push me to another level. I reall concentrated on feeling both the HIIT and Eliptical in the glutes. Gotta get MUCH more defintition back there. Before I went to the gym for posing and cardio I weighed 180.5. During cardio I drank 25oz of Xtend/Primal EAA and after I drank 33oz of Smart Water. When I got home I weighed 179. Again, I feel as though I'm holding a lot of water. I know that next week that will all go away with the Cut Diet water protocal, but if I can jumpstart it I will. I still have a bit of lower ab fat that I want to obliterate in the next few days. 9 days left. Nine more days to work toward greatness
