JKurz's Log "Mirrors are all hidden"!

[fortunatesun]

actually i think the guy is jeff rodriguez in the middleweight category. rick mcmillan is a heavyweight.

damn. I just assumed as JK's prior target bodyweight was 220. I shouldn't post after working late. http://www.graphicmuscle.com/index.cfm?go2=contests_competitor&Competitorid=8142

ok........just thought the low test was the prob........I completely understand the process...however, I am just afraid before I go that route that it was all because of my low caloric intake for years....rsulting in my body shutting down, etc...so, I am wondering if I do crank my cals and stay off or do a full cycle now with pct, will I be able to come back natually?

I'd honestly recommend you buy a book called 'Stop Worrying and Start Living'. I cannot off hand recall the offer, but you should be able to find it at most book stores. It can turn your life into a sucess in so many ways, especially in the gym.

Sunday July 30th weight 164-65 (up from 160 two weeks ago)

Woke up this morning and decided to dit a little cardio. 30 minutes incline walk, 3.7 speed increasing from 7.0 ramp to 10.0 every 5 minutes

9:30
3/4 cuip oats
1/4 cup oat bran
12 egg whites
1 scoop whey

approx 54 carbd, 45pro, 5g fat

need one more meal at noon and then I'm going to train quads

LEG EXTENTION X 4 (WARMUP/PREEXHAUST)
MACHINE HACK SQUATS X 5 10,8,8,6,6
LEG PRESS NARROW X 4 12,10,8,8
LEG EXTENTION X 3

LUNGES X2
DBELL DEADS X 3

THEN ITS SHAKE TIME, FOLLOWED BY A HUGE DINNER AT GMAS. Probably will be low on calories, but I do have a cheat meal today 20 minutes to eat whatever. Just thinking of keeping it real, like a sundae or something cause I still got to get my prebed meal in.

SPoke to my trainer today who said he weighs 217 today. One week ago yesterday, he placed second aat the pitts. nationals at 175lbs....crazy weight gain, but he cliams he still has abs and its all clean calories....he's shoots for 40g pro/60g carb in 8 meals.
Watched him train back last week and the dude is pulling 5 plates, incred strength for a clean bb'er.....also got some tribulus, and tonka ali for my test levels...keep it natty. Also following Mr.X's adivce of .5 armidex every other day. Trainer said not to worry that Ive only gained 4lbs in 2 weeks...claims its right on point. And this is with two days of cardio only and missing a meal or two here and there from the layout. I need to try to stict to the diet to the tee.

Wondering what to do with these cases upon cases of protein bars I have...sitting in my cupboard for months. I am afraid if I start eating them, I wont be able to stop. Think I should sell them? Most say that they should be used in emergenices. That doesnt sit well with me. Anyone use them on a consisten basis on top of a normal bulking meal?

incred strength for a clean bb'er.....

i've never competed but say he was dehydrated and used exlax
15 lbs water plus 10 lbs internal that still leaves 17 lbs
so i'm calling bs

I can't agrue with you.....He's young and we've been pretty close, but I had my doubts too. I've accused him many times and he swears he's clean, although it's a def. route he will go in the future. But, I am with you....ok, he's not natty.

As for the other post, call bs all you want....I saw the comp pics and I saw him on the scale yesterday......trust me.....he's 217 and was 175 the night before.....If I didn;t see it with my own eyes, I wouldnt believe it either. Keep in mind, the night after the show, we are talking candy bars, pizza, steak, potatoes, ice cream....prob. a good 20lbs there.....the part I dont belive is his ability to see his four abs....thats where I call bs...but enough, this is not about him......

Then if you agree with me, do you feel that a natty in metabolic lag should follow a natl level competitor's diet/training plan??

 

[JKurz1]

The diet I think is solid and I am pretty sure you agree........

The part you are having a hard time with is the 2x a day training, and I am beginning to agree you are correct...take it through this week and reevalute?

I'm not following his outline....shit....he take in over 7K in cals......mine, if you recall from page one, is around 4,200.........and I am gainging 3-4 per week

Is the leg routine too much?

LEG EXTENTION X 4 (WARMUP/PREEXHAUST)
MACHINE HACK SQUATS X 5 10,8,8,6,6
LEG PRESS NARROW X 4 12,10,8,8
LEG EXTENTION X 3

light smit sqat feet in front X2
DBELL DEADS X 3

JK, in my opinion, it isn't that the routine is "too much"....but in your case the shortest way to get from A to B is a straight line, that routine is like taking a million zig zags.

What you should be worried about right now is adding at least 150lbs to what you back squat and front squat for 5-8 reps. If you eat more than your burn off, that is your easy, non-complicated, straight line from point A (now) to point B (your goals).

My issue with 'bodybuilding routines' is that bodybuilding itself in the modern era is a joke where training is concerned. Sure, you have to eat properly, sure you have to train hard, BUT hard training is not efficient training in all cases. A complete lack of training theory knowledge exists in bodybuilding. A TOTAL reliance on anabolics masks the fact that most of the training is completely butt-headed, for lack of a better word.
