Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | I know in my intro thread I said I was going to wait until after my contest to start a training log, but I decided there's no time like the present. For some backgound on me and pics, check my intro thread, and the post your pics thread in the 30+ section. As I look on my Jamie Eason calendar, I see it's 11 days until SHOWTIME. I'm going to have to post yesterday's and today's workouts here, because I got held up at work for another 10.5 hour shift. I missed my evening cardio and posing, but was busy enough waiting on like 50 different tables in the night to burn some calories anyway and brought enough food to get by. Monday's chest workout: DB Incline Press 60x10 60x10 60x12 35x13 25x10 Drop set Flat DB Press 60x9 60x7.5 50x11 35x10 25x10 The first drop set on inclines really kicked my butt and my left shoulder is still a little strained so I had to back off a bit. Incline DB Flyes 35x10 35x7 My wrist was wobbling and made it hard to controll the weight. Took a bit more rest, but not over a minute 35x11 25x11 15x13 At this point my chest was PUMPED. I did acouple of side chest and hands on hips MM's and was STRIATED. Pushups 23 Crunches 150 I was short on time as usual on Mondays, thought I was going to finish abs in the evening, but had to fill in at work. Rest times were between 30 second and a minute. I honestly don't know. I was just charging ahead. This workout gave me a HUGE PUMP. I had just had my refeed the night before, and judging by my appearance after the workout it wasnear perfect..The refeed, not my physique, that's a never ending quest. Today was Back: BO BB Row 185x10 185x10 185x12 155x13 135x10 1 Arm Rows 90x10 90x10 90x12 60x12 50x10 These killed. The weird, yet good part was they seemed to hit my hams harder than my back. After the drop set, I wasn't just pumped, I was SWOLLEN. It hurt, but felt great. My rear delts were poopping of my shoulders. Finally giving me the appearance I was looking for. Cable Pulldowns 180x10 180x10 180x10 150x4 130x5 110x6 Like I said, the 1 arm rows killed and showed their effects on this exercise. Lat Pulldown Close Paralell Grip 140x10 140x10 130x10 100x11 90x13 From got sloppy on the second aet, so I lightened the load. DB Shrugs 90x10 90x10 90x12 60x13 50x10 Hyperextensions (focus on glutes) 40 40 28 I then took 3 Dialene4 and did 1 round of mandatories. posing was quite difficult at this point. then I got on the treadmill fo 45 minutes at 24% incline 4 speed 870 calories burned. I was pouring with sweat by about ten minutes and it didn't let up. I'm going back in later to do some posing. Mostly mandatory, with some work on the individual routine.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | Thanks, I'll definately keep you posted. I can't wait for it to get here, but I've got a lot of work to do until then. Gotta shred up my legs. That's a good question. I chose the thread title, because my trainer through Team Scivation is Derek, the Beast, Charlebois. I definately don't have a physique like his, but with my longer frame I think I can be a Beast, just a different one. One of my heros is Serge Nubret, and he was the Black Panther. I'm modeling my physique after his, so I'd be honored to be compared to some sort of Great Cat. But nicknames have to be earned, not taken.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | 10 Days and Counting Alright so Tuesday night was an interesting one. I had a really good session posing. SQUEEZING my legs with everyshot. Then came bed time, or what I thought was going to be bed time. I don't know where it came from, but I had a wicked bout of diahreah. It lasted most of the night and I probably only got about 3 hours of uninterupted sleep. I still woke up with the alarm and had my morning Xtend/VasoXplode/Glutaform. I was feeling a little weak and still somewhat unsetteld in the gastro-intestinal area, but decided to at least go in and do some abs. Wednesdays are my off days, but I got the OK from Derek to still do cardio and abs. HIIT was definately out of the question. Here's the abs workout. Cable Crunches 100x100 100x80 100x75 Leg Raises 120 102 100 Seated Twists 150 (each direction) Didn't feel to bad afterwards. I had a bit of a bout right before and during work, but feel much better now. Gotta love chewable Pepto. When I got home from work I was able to take a 2 hour nap. I'm going to do some posing here at home. Still focusing on these wheels which are improving. Then it's REFEED TIME!!!!!! And its going tobe so good. I've already enlisted some help for tomorrow's leg workout so that I can do the drop sets. I used to take her aerobics class, so I know she's sadistic enough to help me crank out 35 squats and lunges. It's so close now and nothing is going to stop me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | 9 Days and Counting Just got back from my much needed massage especially after what I did today. Went and picked up my almond butter and 5 gallons of spring water for the 1st two days of next week. Today's leg workout taught me two very important things. 1. I had no Idea what intensity was and have not in the entire 2.5 years I have been training been even close to the level I am capable of and need to train at. 2. All of you people who have a training partner or who hire a trainer to work out with you are smart and lucky people. I enlisted the help of Sabrina, one of the trainers/aerobics instructors at the gym to help me with my drop sets today. I new from taking ine of her aerobics classes a few times in the past that she was sadistic enough to enjoy it and help push me through it. Here's the last Cut Diet Leg Day for this prep, but definately not the last I will do Rest times unknown, but slightly longer than the rest of the WO for safety. I'd guess 2 minutes. Squats 185x10 185x10 185x10 135x11 115x11 PUMP and BURN. Just begining to understand what focus really is. The rest of the WO had 30 to 60 sec rest times. SLDL 205x10 205x10 205x11 185x11 155x10 Leg curls 100x10 100x10 100x10 80x6 60x4 40x3 The isolation movements really kicked my ass during dropsets. Lunges 70x10 70x10 70x10 50x10 40x10 This is where the dry heaves started, but left quickly. This is where I found out what focus was. Extensions 180x10 180x10 180x10 150x1 130x2 80x5 30x10 This is where I found out what CNS failure was. I was shocked that I couldn't move the 150, 0r 130. Then when I still had difficulty with 80 and it took everything I had just to keep 30 pounds in motion. Nothing exixsted except me and that machine. Next time I will WIN. The good part is that at this point my legs were SWOLLEN to a size I have never seen them before. The size I want them to be when dry unpumped and shredded. At least now I know what that looks like. Standing Calf Raises 90x12 90x11 90x12 65x8 45x9 Seated Calf Raises 90x15 90x15 90x18 70x18 Now I finally have an Idea of what it take to train. This workout has taught me what need to know.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | I just got back from posing practice and cardio. the posing is improving, but there's much work to be done in the next 9 days. I want it to appear effortless and flawless. I did 45 minutes on the treadmill 24-27% incline speed 4-4.5 927 calories burned. How about that Nate Diaz Next Ultimate Fighter match. Definately good stuff to do cardio to. While doing cardio i started to feel really good. Something about today's leg workout has unlocked and thrown open a new door for me. I visualized myself being placed in the center of the stage and saw every pose in prejudging. Now it's time to make it REAL!!! Here's acouple of snaps from tonight:

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | Here's Saturday's workout. I just got home form work, now I've got to make my body clock do a 180 so that I can be fully rested for next Saturday. Seated DB Military Press 45x10 50x10 50x10 35x10 25x15 Seated Font Raise 30x10 30x10 30x10 15x15 10x10 Laterals 30x10 30x10 30x10 20x10 10x13 Rear Delt Flyes 55x10 55x10 55x10 40x10 30x10 Then I took 3 Dialene4 and did about 10 minutes of posing. Gripping the floor and squeezing the legs that are still sore from Thursday. Then I started questioning whether or not to do my HIIT on the bike. I got my ass on the bike and started to warm up. Still sore, but I decided to see how it went. I thought about my fellow Scivation athletes and the kind of work that they put in day in and day out. So I started my sprints. Yeah it hurt, but I continued on. After about 5 sprints I decided that I had to adopt the motto that they had from Layne, "If you beat me it won't be because you outworked me!" So I kept cranking out the sprints and honestly once I got my mind right they didn't get easier, but something changed and before I knowe it I only had 3 sprints left and finished strong. So like my 2 brothers, I've added something to my life as well as my sig line. It's the only way to go. I may have realised it a bit late in this prep, but bodybuilding is a marathon sport, and I am just now hitting my stride. I will improve this week, and everyday after. I can't wait for next Saturday, then its a small rest. Back to the Lean Mass Program for a month, and then Cut Diet again so that I can improve and join Marc, and Va, down at the Clash to do some serious representin'

Diaz is sneaky. It really looked like he was gassed, but then he just grabs a hold of something and gets a submission. 6 Days and Counting Oh the anticipation is THICK! First this week's stats, and the today's workout. Stats are of course just numbers the real test comes in six days. But the stats have been useful for tweaking diet and cardio. Last week's weight: 176.5 This week 175.5 Last week's BF 4.8 This week 4.4 Today is ususally an off day for me, btu since it's 6 days out it was time to hit it hard. Incline DB Press 60x14 35x12 25x6 60x7.5 35x11.5 25x12.5 Pushups 25 Seated DB Military Press (no back support) 50x8 30x11.5 20x10 50x7 30x10 20x9 Side Laterals 30x13 20x10 10x7 30x12 20x10 10x8 Vbar Triceps Pressdown 190x11 150x9 120x10 190x9 150x5 120x6 100x7 Leg Press 450x13 405x16 450x18 405x13 It has been forever since I've done a traditional leg press, so these really hit me nice and hard. I was able to keep my back flat onto the seat which was great. The reason that I usually do them single legged is because my back used to round terribly. Seated Calf Raises 110x20 90x15 110x18 90x15 Then it was the now Standard 3 Dialene4's and a round of mandatory posing. After that was incline treadmil 45 minutes 24% incline speed 4 calories burned 870. Here's this week's pics:

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 13 | I'm Tanned. At this point my tan looks about as dark as Hulk Hogan's, so I figure I'm about 3 coats away from being dark enough. I'm eating my refeed as I type this, and then its off to bed to wake up and hit it HARD tomorrow for my last workout before the SHOW!!! Here's Tuesday's workout Incline DB Press 60x12 35x10 25x15 60x8 35x10 25x15 Pushups 26 DB Military Press 45x8 35x9 20x12 45x8 35x7 20x11 Laterals 30x10 20x10 10x10 30x8 20x10 10x12 VBAR Triceps Press Down 190x10 150x7 120x12 190x4 150x4 120x6 90x7 70x12 Leg Press 450x18 405x15 450x18 405x15 Seated Calf Raises 110x17 90x17 110x16 90x16 I kept the pace much higher than when I did this workout on Sunday. It hurt, but felt great to just dig in and PUSH. Took my D4, did my mandatories, and then 35 mins of treadmill at 21% incline speed 4-4.2, 620 calories burned. I did another couple of rounds of posing later this evening with some work on my routine. The routine is only 60 seconds and goes by in a flash. When I hit it right it flows very well, but my main focus is the MANDATORIES. That's where it counts. I cannot wait until tomorrow at 6pm. I can stop loading sodium and start shedding all this water. 4 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
