The Beast's Training Journal!

[InTraining]

Sure. Check out my diet journal, which recorded every eating day from 3-14-04 to 5-3-04:

My eating hasnt been as consistent lately though. But it should be getting back to what you see in the journal. I always have some inconsistent days. Also check out this link:

Thats some samples from my old bulking diet which was perfect for gaining weight. I cant really afford it anymore, also its extremely hard for me to put down that many calories without vomitting these days. Nerves are worse I believe. The link also includes my record eating day of 441 grams of protein. Hope that helps

Thanks a lot man!! Just want to see what is fueling the beast...maybe get some ideas for my own diet...k to you

ThanX alot brother!! The kind words are MUCH appreciated!! I hope to hit that 405 soon too!! This year would be plenty soon for me. Ive learned to have some patience, and Im happy aslong as I see SOME progress within one year's time. Ive learned to accept slow gains. But Ill continue to punish myself at every opportunity. My legs are now becoming a new goal for me. I never cared much about them before, and I grinded out reps on the leg press til I vomitted weekly, for years with little to show for it. My legs got extremely dense but not too big. Now Ill be trying some different things for them, including squats. When I get some nice lifts, especially the 405 on the incline or flat Ill video tape them and post them up for sure. I know what you mean brother. Reaching 200 has been rough for me as well. I did hit it on my home scale, on a pretty full stomache, but Im pretty sure that scale is off. I use a stricter doctor scale at the gym to weigh myself more accurately. Of course all scales are different. My gym closed down so Ill be using a different scale/scales for the time being. Now with the 10 mins of cardio a few times a week, I may start losing some weight. If it causes a problem Ill stop it all together. I thought it would be good to keep the heart somewhat healthy, arteries less clogged, and for a little endurance, and possible to get a little more defined. I was just as strong, if not stronger at 185-188 before my injury in december, so when I see myself hitting 192-195 after the injury, I start to wonder whats up with the weight gain. I want to be a quality 200lbs. My waist is actually smaller now and Im still between 190-195. So maybe I did gain some muscle somewhere. haha It dont think it would be hard to hit 200lbs at all, with the creatine/NO2 supplement and my old bulking diet, but Ive been trying a cleaner diet with more emphasis on protein then calories for the time being. Just to experiment. Its also cheaper, healthier and can all be prepared at home. Congrats on breaking 200!! Thats a big milestone. Let me know how the routine works out for you. Im sure it would be a pain to keep a journal with all the shit going on over there. I agree, I look back on my old journals all the time. Since Ive had all these bad situations happen to me through out the years, I can look back and see what I did to fix the problems. Such as losing 30lbs from graveshift security. Its inspirational as well as useful. ThanX for all the encouragement and keep hitting it hard!!

BEAST,
REMEMBER ONE THING!

THE BIGGER YOU GET, THE LONGER IT CAN TAKE TO MAKE GAINS. You have to worry about the plateaus and about all of your other muscles being balanced to be able to add more weight when you are already training heavy as fuck.

7-3-04 Saturday Legs and Calves

I went real light today with the squats to get the form down. Im writing this 2 days later, and my legs got extremely sore from this routine. So Im planning on keeping squats in my routine from now on, and working on improving them. Maybe in a year from now theyll be decent. Hoping my deadlift strength ties in with them somehow. I was working on the depth by putting a bench underneath myself. I was able to come a few inches from the bench on each rep, but any further and I was getting pain and clicking in the tailbone area. Not sure what that is. It felt really good overall, even though it was light. Heres the routine:

Leg Extentions:

60x15
150x16
180x15
210x15

Squats:

95x15
135x15
185x15
185x15
205x15
205x15

Calves:

Seated Calf Raise:

90x15
70x15
70x15

Leg Extentions:

240x15
225x15

Hey Beast, I've been reading your journal for awhile now and you have more motivation than anyone I've met(KEEP IT UP!) One question: Why did you do Ext's before Squat? I'm not knocking it, but just curious. I have always done my compound movements first. Was it just to change it up abit, or is that what you usually do? As always, KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT!(LOL, I've always wanted to type that!

ThanX brother!! Hopefully itll all come together. Im sure itll take a long time. I think Im going to start on the M1T and see what happens with that. Ill be sure to post the results. ThanX again brother!!

ThanX for reading the journal brother!! Appreciate the kind words! Well, at this point my squats are very weak anyway. I have a ways to go in developing my form and Im not sure when itll come together. The leg extentions are a warm-up for my knees mainly, but I throw in a few heavier sets anyway just to hit the quads a little. Then Ill do some more to finish up after squatting. I do that most of the time, but keep in mind I just started squatting. Ive never done them consistently before. haha ThanX again brother!! Keep KILLING that shit yourself!!

String cheese, beef jerky, unsalted peanuts....all things I will be picking up soon....

Good idea to have high protein\high cal snacks throughout the day!!

Yup, makes total sense warming up the joint before going into battle. Keep it up!

Glad you found some ideas you could use. I had to find a way to get in extra protein, cuz I hate forcing down whole meals at a time, especially after Im full from previous meals. Just dont like eating in general. One meal is fine, anything more gets me pretty nauseous. I found milk, string cheese, peanut butter and beef jerky to be great snacks for added protein, and they really add up. 5 string cheeses is 40 grams of protein for example. Im always looking for more ways to get in the extra protein as well.
