Thanks to everyone who contributed to my old journal and thanks to those who just stopped by to check in for whatever reason. I was never much for online journals, but all the views I got was good motivation, so I am starting another one......just something fresh to post on so there isn't page after page after page to sift through for people. If anyone wants to check out my old journal, here is a link to it.

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=471494

Oh yeah, for anybody either new to the site or who doesn't know me well, the title is kind of an inside joke. I don't care much about inner pecs and thunderous bis, save for the homo-erotic pics of myself in my gallery.

I'll get my last few workouts on here.....

Wednesday 5/31/06

Power Clean: 45 and 135 by about a million warm-ups, 185x2, 225x2, 255x1, 275x1, 295x2, 295x2, 300x2, 300x2, 300x2

Clean Pull: 350x3, 355x3, 360x3, 365x3

This was a good workout, I still plan to do squat cleans, but I did the power version because squat cleans are taxing, and I do feel I need frequency and volume right now.....plus, last week I had a workout where I missed a 345 (which would have been a HUGE PR for me) squat clean 3 or 4 times, and I had been doing front squats a lot, and I was just a little over-taxed on them.

Thursday 6/1/06

Back Squat: (anytime I say back squat, it is an olympic squat done ATF) 135x10, 225x10, 315x5, 355x5, 385x5, 405x5, 335x8, 335x8

Behind-the-neck push press: 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 250x3, 250x3, 255x3, 255x3......Strict OHP tothe front: 200x9

Dips: Bodyweight x 3 sets of 20. I will weight these next week. I love the dipping apparatus at the gym I recently joined, I'd estimate it is older than I am, but it is the best thing I have ever dipped on in my life.....the bar width is adjustable, so I bring them in close, just wide enough for me to fit, I do them full range to full lockout, stressing the lockout. I really feel I can pop just about anything in the air and to my ears on push presses, but my triceps and lockout is holding me back a good 25-50 lbs, so close-grip dips are the prescription.

Squat went well, I am getting back into olympic squats after hammering fronts for a while.....I didn't know what squatting before push presses would do to me, but it helped, lol.....after squats, I felt like I could throw 255 off my back and through the ceiling.


Bodyweight is 242, I think I have a tapeworm, because the way I have been eating, I deserve to be a 400lb slob.
 
Looking forward to seeing your back squat progress.

It's hard to find a good dip bar. My old gym had a crappy device; not even a dip bar. It was an ab leg raise machine that happened to have two handles on the end for dipping. The bars were too wide and felt like they were going to snap off at any second. The bar at my new gym is WONDERFUL. It's shaped like a triangle so, like you said, you can go as wide or narrow as you please.

Keep fighting the good fight. Enjoy the tapeworm.

Thanks....this time I don't want to push the 5's on back squats to the point of being burned out, I want to start heavier triples and doubles while I still have lots of progress room left and see what happens.
 
With the way you eat, I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the likelyhood of a thundering arse. :)

Are you chasing any particular goals through this journal aside from the eternal one to be better than you've ever been before?

My ass is actually pretty big, women of African American decent are generally my greatest admirers and are quick to randomly point it out in public, lol.

No goals in particular.....just keep bettering myself....my back squat PR is 515, I'd love to break that, I can always get my 5's into the 455++ range, but apparently I am a werido who doesn't fall into any normal 1 RM max caluculator ranges and it's never been good enough to get past 515 when I try to hit a PR......so I am hoping some heavy triples and singles as I get further along will help out.
 
Trained quick today, Fri 6/2/06

Chins: 5 sets of 8 with bodyweight

Decline Situps: BW + 45 x 4 sets of 20

In and out pretty quick.....just keeping my weekly volume/frequency high. Tomorrow is some olympic lifting, and Sun I'm planning on close-grips, back squats, and deads.
 
Well, well. A shiny new journal. 8s on back squats, huh? That makes me want to take a nap. Whatever happened to your clean PR? I see you didn't get your 345 but were you happy with what you DID get?

Think you'll see much carryover from front squatting to back squatting?

depending on the type of squatting stance. if he uses a PL stance, there will be some carry over. if he uses a narrower stance, oly style, then there carry over will be a lot greater in comparison to a wider stance.
with the oly style squatting, there is more of an emphasis on the quads. front squats help to strengthen the quads. so you can see where this and his cleans will help with his squat.
 
Dude! I'm so glad you went all Abercrombie on us! I always hated how you picked on all of us that work our chest and our biceps all the time. I mean, damn! You know that is what gets all the girls! And what's up with all this squat stuff, anyway??? Only fat slobs work on that crap, cuz' they know they can't hang with guys like us.

:sick:

I need to go cleanse myself. I feel violated. It was Satan.









(Looking forward to following along in your journal, brother.) ;)
 
Thanks boys....Proto, the 8's were just some extra backoff sets. I squat olympic style, so I get carryover to the fronts and vice versa.....I ended up cleaning 330, which I was happy with. I am not done with them, I just taxed the hell out of myself doing the full squat version so often.
 
Saturday 6/3/06

Dumbell Snatch (5 with right arm, then 5 with lest arm): 45, 75, 95, 100, 105, 110, 110

Power Clean: 30 singles at 250

Had a great workout. The d-bell snatches had me sucking wind and sweating big time...the cleans were fine, I was just drilling a smooth pull and then explosion at the appropriate height, I took no more than a min. between sets, the whole workout only took maybe 45-50 min. and my heart was pounding basically the whole time.
Back squats, close-grips, and some heavy DL singleson tap for tomorrow to end the workout and week when I am good and tired.

I am off to eat some eggplant and pasta.

You did 30 singles at 250? That is impressive as hell but what made you pick 30 times?
 
Nice. Somebody--can't recall who but it wasn't some dumbass--said the best conditioning he'd done was doing near max snatche singles, approx. 1 or 2 min's apart, for like a total of 20. Repeated w/ C&J. He said it made his conditioning so tight, high school wrestlers couldn't keep up w/ him re: conditioning.
 
Shades, I wanted to use a lot of volume with a submaximal weight. With heavier weights, I do in the neighborhood of 10-15 total reps per workout, so with a lighter load to drill technique and short rest to train conditioning, I needed substantially more volume to make up for the decreased load on the bar. I did singles because I am of firm belief that when you start getting winded, form on the quick lifts goes to shit with rep work, I picked 30, because it is just a way to get the workload in with lighter weights, I will probably do 40 next and 50 the next as I gradually increase the work each week.

Proto....I was winded as hell during the workout, I'd be curious how many calories it burned, because I really was sucking wind.
 
proto, we do that sort of thing here in wichita from time to time. 20 snatches in 20 minutes, then rest and recuperate for 30 minutes or so, then 20 clean and jerks in 20 minutes.

both donny shankle and myself have done 20 snatches with 140kg (308lbs) in 20 minutes. thats one of the toughest workouts ive ever done. i didnt puke, but had the trash can close just in case.

some of my younger kids can do that workout with amazingly high percentages of their max. caleb ward, when he was 13 years old and snatched only 100k (220lbs) did 20 reps in 20 minutes with the first 10 being done at 90k, and the last 10 being done at 95k. freaking incredible.

The endurance/conditioning of younger kids always amazes me......there was just a local 10k race near me (no, I can't run 6 miles and live to tell about it, lol) and they had a 1 mile run for kids beforehand, and there were 7, 8, 9 years olds who don't really run turning in 5-something minute miles.....my theory always was that their bodies and cardiovascular systems are pretty much brand-spanking new.

Glenn, I remember going on the WFW website a while back and seeing a vid of Caleb Ward, he has an odd name and it stuck in my mind, anyway he was doing a C and J with 300lbs or maybe even a little more and I remember being really impressed. Is he still training for competition?
 
*perk*

My male a$$ radar went off......

Que, It's only 7:30, and I am all done with my gallon of milk for the day.

I ate pretty good today, the eggplant was good, homemade sauce makes it though. I just had 2 and a NY strips, and 1 hot dog, lol... and a couple baked potatos and a salad
 
ChinkNasty said:
you benchin at all on this split? what are your upper days consisting of aside from cleans and other pulling movements
Click to expand...

Just close-grips....upper body lifts will mainly be behind-the-neck push presses and close-grip bench, my main assistance will be dips, and maybe some type of incline work, but not pushed as a main lift.....Looking through old journals, I notice one constant when I hit upper body PR's, and that is I am doing dips in training.
 
Today.....Sun 6/4/06

Back Squat: 135x10, 225x10, 315x5, 365x5, 405x5, 415x3

Front Squat: 315x1, 330x1, 340x1, 355x1, 365x1, 285x8, 285x8

Good Morning: 135x10, 225x3 sets of 5

Standing Calf Raise Machine: 3 sets

Had a really good workout.....will squat 415x5 on Thurs....went with GM's instead of deadlifts, the main reason is because I have a busted callous on my left hand from cleaning yesterday and it was bothering me....the GMs weren't hard at all, but they are disproportionately weak compared to my squats and pulls, so I actually think I will do them for several weeks to up the poundages and maybe correcting this problem will improve everything else.......tomorrow is close-grip bench and some assistance work and will be my 6th day of training in a row, I will take Tues off, then do another 6 in a row and add a little more volume, then a third week of 6 in a row with more volume, maybe even some LIGHT AM sessions, then I will evaluate and think about doing less with more intensity.
 
Monday 6/5/06

Close-Grip Bench Press: 135x10, 225x5, 275x5, 295x5, 315x5, 315x5, 275x8, 275x8

Barbell Curl: 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 140x5, 140x5, 120x8, 120x8

Strict Overhead Press (to the front): 135x5, 185x5, 195x5, 200x5, 200x5

I was happy with this workout....the OHPs got tough on the last set as I was dead from close-gripping, the last OHP set was a true grinder. The reason I stuck the curls in between was because I was pretty fried after the bench work. I'm not training tomorrow, but I'd like to eat about a million calories, then power cleans and clean pulls Wednesday.
 
I dunno about anyone else, but that db snatch number has me in awe! You put up so huge dang numbers man. Nice work. May I inquire if you are 'assisted' or not?

Thanks man, I used to think I was a pretty good dumbell snatcher, then I found out guys were out there doing multiple sets of 10 with a 150 pounder during AM "recovery sessions" and it put me in my place, lol.

No 'assistance' right now, I'm probably eating close to 6000 calories a day, and that definitely helps get me through the training frequency.
 
And the waistband w/ 6k/day? I'll bet its staying about the same, you bastard. LoL

That's a damn lot of frequency. 6x/wk? I haven't seen you do that before. Have you? Is it an experiment or what?

Click to expand...

Yeah, my waistline seems to stay put.....I've done this type of frequency in the past.....and I think opting with GMs over deadlifts will help me get through 3 weeks of this.......exercise selection is key, I think going with chins over rows on Fri helps too, and of course the power versions of the olympic lifts can be a life saver too.
 
No lifting today, but a brief rundown of what I ate thus far today.....

4 whole eggs
bacon
whole wheat toast
oatmeal
MetrX Big 100 Bar (they changed something recently because it tasted like SHITE)
1 banana
2 NY strips each one on white toast
a salad
spinach
1/4 gallon of skim milk
a sugar free oreo cookie, lol
a lot of water

And plenty more to follow
 
No. = steak!

I just read that the official unofficial world record for BTN jerking (no rude comments please) is over 600. You've got some work ahead of you.

Yeah, DJ NY strip is steak.

Yeah, a 600 btn jerk is crazy. Marunde did 500 a while back, he's got the video on his site.........and I don't know how true this is as there isn't any documented proof and it was done in training, but word has it that Udo Beyer (German shotputter) did 10 singles with 600 back in his prime.....it is in an article Louie Simmons wrote for PLUSA a while back, it sounds unreal, but Udo was brutally strong, so at the least it is reasonable to me.
 
Protobuilder said:
Mind if I reprint that?
Click to expand...

It's cool....if you want I can try to find the article where Louie is talking about Udo Beyer's 10 singles at 600 and PM it to you.
 
I found it, I'll send it to you....actually, lol, it was 660 for 10 singles supposedly......I actually find 600 to be very believable for a world class olympic lifter or shot putter, most people generally tend to question this claim, I don't know, It'd be awesome if it were so, and Louie is a credible source, I guess nobody will ever know, just one of those things that becomes 'legend'...in any event, Udo was ridiculously strong, he threw the shot over 74 feet, and that certainly was documented.

6000 calories is approximately 4 days worth of calories for me. :FRlol:

However, today I had a big piece of a double-layer chocolate cake & a yogurt parfait w/mixed berries. :p
 
there was some vid with pudzianowski BTN pressing 450 (i think it was 450)... that was with bad technique - more pressing then explosive movement.

To conclude my post above, I finished off with:

a pound of grilled chicken
whole wheat pasta
spinach
Several scoops of ice cream, lol (2 hours worth of House on Fox last night, plus I went to sleep feeling 'anabolic')

You'll notice your recovery is off the wall with a lot of cals...I might use fit day one of these days just for curiosity's sake.

I'd like to see you do that even if it's just once to see exactly what you get on any given day.
 
blitz, I am gonna try it for a day, just to satisfy my own curiosity....I have always gone by instinct, I just kind of always know what I need to add or scrap to gain or lose weight, like you always preach, I have my 'base' diet, and the rest is added or subtracted depending on what I want to do.

Either way, it will end up being my maintainence cals to maintain 240-243lbs cause thats where I have been for a long time eating like this. I might even up the cals, I'd like to hit 250, and my waist really hasn't budged, so I might try it and see if I can put on 7 or 8 lbs in the right places.
 
Rub it in, rub it in.

You really notice an improvement in recovery time the more you eat? Is there a point of diminishing returns? At 161 or so, I am actually not eating as much as I’d like b/c I’m trying to keep the weight gain to a pound a week. I’ll chow down after workouts and the next 18 hours or so, but then I try to eat “not so much” over maintenance b/c of the fat monster. I’d like to go more “balls out” but w/ my “profile,” I don’t know if the benefits (improved recovery) outweigh the costs (gut taking off).

Might as well milk it and see how heavy you can get while your waist stays where it is. If you're going to try that though, I'd suggest putting on extra calories slowly...maybe transitioning over 2-3 weeks instead of point blank decided to add 1500 calories to your day.

I'm extremely curious to see what fitday has to say about your macros :)
 
Blitz, you're right on with the gradual increases.....and thanks for the comments Sarge.

I will try to dig up pics, one is last Summer at 225, one is a few months ago at 243ish..the same shot basically.....I think I look harder and leaner at 243, I always found food to be very anabolic if the training is where it needs to be.

BiggT said:
Thanks for checking in.......I forgot to post Saturday's workout....the cleans were planned, then the rest was improvised based on a compelling urge to deadlift.

Squat Clean: a ton of warm-ups, then 5 doubles at 275

Clean Pull: 315x3, 335x3, 355x3, 365x3

Deadlift: was gonna front squat, but I don't know what bit me in the ass.....405x5, 455x5, 495x5

Had a good day, wanted to drill volume on cleans with a weight that would allow me to not miss, yet was not pathetically light. I was happy with the deadlifts, I left about 20lbs in the tank, but if I pushed it, I'd be blown out already. I plan on doing these every other week for now. I haven't done these in several weeks, and as always with me, olympic lifts and front squats left me feeling primed when I came back to them. I pull conventional, as close a foot stance as possible, with a hook-grip, so those things give me great carry-over.
Click to expand...
^^^ from his other log "Spring 2006"

... yah, i'm bored :rolleyes:
 
Yeah you're bored. I was just curious. I set a goal of being able to pull 500 by the end of the summer. Well my second time deadlifting in the past year (first time was last week as I wrote in my log) I pulled 445. So I am thinking that 500 is actually pretty darn attainable. Maybe one day I'll pull 495 for 5.....
 
Thanks guys, my lifetime best is 605 for a single, I pull them all conventional with a hook-grip, because due to my squatting style and all of the olympic lifts, I feel I get the best carryover, plus the double overhand keeps the bar where it should be and it never gets out in front of my body too much. I am careful as far as how often I DL and when I actually train the lift itself because they blow out my CNS when overdone.
 
Here are those pics....the one of the nicely waxed back is me at 225.....the one where I am in desperate need of a back waxing is 243.

EDIT: We need a bookie event on this. :p

Wrong journal, dude. ;)
 
Tonight's workout Wed 6/7/06

Power Clean: about a million warm-ups, front squats etc etc with 45 and 135....185x1, 225x1, 255x1, 285x1, 300x1, 310x1, 315x1, 5 doubles at 275

Clean Pull: 315x3, 345x3, 365x3, 365x3

Jump Shrug: 405x10, 495x10, 495x10

Had a really good night....the cleans were all fast, and I tore through the doubles at 275. Clean pulls went well, really worked on staying calm and keeping the first pull SMOOTH, at times I tend to get anxious and rip the bar from the floor, so these are a good lift for me to do. Jump shrugs are gay numbers for that lift, I hope to get that to 585-600 for 10's pretty soon.

I will plug my "diet" into fit day tomorrow.
 
Jump shrugs are not a very good way to isolate your calves.

Tomorrow, fitday's servers will go down shortly after you input your info.
 
Proto, I forgot to answer your question about excess cals and diminishing returns.....I guess there could come a point for everyone when they hit a number causing too much fat gain too fast.....I think it would obviously vary from individual. I have never hit a point where I thought I gained too much bad weight too fast and out of control, it exists, as it does for everyone, but the exact number varies from person to person.

For recovery, I guess caloric surplus is all one would need....I don't know. I figure whatever I am eating right now, coupled with my activity level is maintainence for me to be 240-245 because that is where I have been for a while now, and I can make training progress.

As far as my bodyweight and diminishing returns, would I be stronger at 320 than I am at 245? of course I would....but, weighing 320 at 6' comes with risks, ones that I am not willing to take because this is just a hobby for me, granted a hobby that I take very seriously, but it isn't what I plan on doing to support my family when the day comes, I'll probably never realize my truest 'potential'....but again, unless it were my livlihood, I just don't think I'd want to take the risks that go with taking things to that type of extreme.
 
I'm assuming the terms 'jump shrug' and 'powershrug' are synonimous, yes?

How do you think they rate as a recovery zapper? Based on poundage alone it seems like they' be a killer - what do you think? I'd lke to add 'em but I'm hesistant since my posterior chain seems to be playing catch-up to my quads at the moment (I'm concerned about how they'd affect my lower back).

I'm probably just going to add them and find out for myself, but I'd like to heat your thoughts :)
 
No, they don't tap into recovery at all....it is such a short-range pull that it isn't very taxing at all. The first time you do them, soreness might be an issue, but as far as CNS blowout, it is a non-issue.
 
Well, here it is my Fitday stats from yesterday, lol, to say the least, it was interesting.

I'll give a quick rundown of meals, then I will give my grand totals, lol....

Breakfast:

4 egg plain omlette
Bacon
Whole Wheat Toast
Oatmeal

I am obviously a pretty good 'guesstimator' with total calories.....and I guess I am not carb intolerant, lol.....I had white rice yesterday, sometimes I have brown, so it will vary....i also use sweet potatoes sometimes instead of the regular ones....Fat is a bit lower than it probably actually is because I didn't bother to compute any oil or butters, in which case total cals would be a little higher.....I was surprised at how much protein that is........I had a physical 2 or 3 months ago and all was well with BP and blood workup.....so I am not gonna worry.
 
Nice!

Ahhh missing fats?! How much, that can jack total calories way up, calories per gram is higher than carbs or protein :)

Would you say this is maintenance for you? Higher or lower?
 
Go on, grow a Bench Belly :D

there's no doubt that packing on a large amount of 'bulk' makes for incredible strength gains but the health risks and looking like a lop of shit mean I wouldn't do that again.

you know you eat 2 x as many cals as I do on average a day? I would love to be able to pack away that many carbs.. must help recovery a lot
 
lol at bench bellies....I will never understand purposely distending an orgran like that.

Honestly, I'd say this is maintainence for me to be 240-245, as I have eaten like this pretty much for a year and have not gone over 245, if I go away for a weekend and eat like a normal person, I come back weighing like 236 after two days , If I consistently ate 2500-3000 cals a day I'd probably weigh 180lbs and be crying that I am a 'hardgainer' despite 'eating like a pig'.........with the fats, I forgot to add the peanut butter, lol.....and I also had ranch dressing with the salad..and a little sour cream on the baked potatoes and a drop of I can't believe its not butter on the spinach......so, yeah, you can see why I hate measuring food, I just have no patience for little details, lol..........I was surprised the number was that low with whole eggs, red meat, salmon etc etc, plus I still think london broil has more fat that fitday claims.


I guess if I wanted to cut back, I'd eliminate milk and pb and j, and cut the rice and potatoes in half.
 
and i didn't take you seriously... but it really *is* the jacked inner pecs and thunderous bis log!!

just checking in... your pictures are definitely better than mine. the fact that back is my favorite spot on a man doesn't hurt either. :p

Word. Thanks, BiggT. In that bookie event that Sarge and I would've done if we'd thought of it sooner, I would've put the lowest odds on some intervals between 4500 and 5500. I don't know if PB's going to be able to handle the jealousy when he sees 6000 calories with no weight gain is normal for you. :p

LoL I've got a mini-BiggT diet going on now that I'm bulking. I had a KC strip (no NY strip in KC), some milk + protein, and a PB sandwich all before bed a couple of days ago (workout night so it was OK). I’d say it made me think of BiggT but that’d just be weird.

T – “studies have shown” that people underestimate their caloric intake. I’ll bet that w/ the butters and peanut butter you’re at 6500 give or take. Starting in early September, you’re going to need to cut back lest you balloon. ;)
 
Thanks for coming by the journal to everyone....Super Rice, it's funny you ask because I jerked tonight from the rack and I ended up with 295...I've jerked 315 from behind the neck with a snatch-grip, which for me is collar to collar, but again, that is a MUCH easier lift than from the front with a narrower grip.....I have never done anymore than 245 or 250 in a true C and J.....I guess the strength is there, I would just need to condition myself to do it.

Today....Thurs 6/8/06

Back Squat: 135x10, 225x10, 315x5, 355x5, 375x5, 400x5, 415x5, 340x8, 340x8

Behind-the-neck push press: 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 235x5, 245x5, 245x5

Jerk (from the rack, in front, and I have always used a power jerk if anyone is wondering) ..245x1, 255x1, 265x1, 280x1, 295x1

D-Bell skull crushers: 3 sets of 12 with a pair of 55's

Real good night.....I was a little concerned driving to the gym because my traps were sore and stiff from last night, but once I got the bar on my back to squat and got warm, I was fine.....The squats went well, no problems....I was also happy with the b-t-n Push presses....I decided to jerk because I was itching to put some heavy weight overhead since I stayed at 5's for the PP's...plus, my shoulders didn't feel like dipping (not injured, just fried).......my form on these tonight was the best it has ever been, I think it was actually because my shoulders were done from pressing, so I had no choice but to drive myself under these like there was no tomorrow....something just clicked and it was one of those workouts.
 
Right on, that's hella strong. You'd probably C&J 160 after a couple of months training.

How comfortable would you be to post some videos? I'd love to see the 140 BTN snatch-jerk.
 
I'd love to post some, I have no problem putting myself on the net, lol....I just don't have a video cam....I've got a digital cam, but apparently it doesn't record video....my b-day is in June, so I may try to look into it. I still need a lap top for school next yr too....I might go out and buy a lottery ticket tonight, lol
 
No shit..it would..but not yet...I'm too weak for a sponsor too, lol, so lottery ticket it is.

Some gay guy on myspace sent me a message offering me $500 dollars to press him over my head.....but, I had to politely decline, that whole thing about being able to look myself in the mirror and all, lol.

Dignity and self-respect is overrated. At least that's what I tell the ladies. 500 bucks is an X-Box360.

Great workout tonight brother. PRs will fall...
