The Beast's Training Journal!

[WalkingBeast]

I also would like to add that I look up to you as a poster. Your average bodysize structure and your great strength gives me motivation to get in the gym or the driveway and hit it hard. Heck the other day I didnt feel like going to the gym to do inclines, dips, rows, and chins, then come home and drag the sled, but after reading a post you made, and reading how your throwing up the weight you do at the bodyweight you do, I told myself (lets do it) and went to the gym and had a great workout, then came home and killed the sled. Thanks

ThanX for the encouragement and kind words brother!! MUCH appreciated!! Im glad I can instill some motivation! Im getting some involuntary time off now anyway, due to this hurricane approaching my area. Also, I took 4 days off the last week, then ended up taking some more days off after pulling out my back. I was ready to bench today, but the gyms, everything is basically closed. Hopefully some things will remain intact after it passes through. ThanX for the compliments! It means alot! Welcome brother!! PM or IM me anytime as well. Keep KILLING that shit!!

9-11-04 Friday Chest, Biceps and Abs (Light and weak)

This was my first day back in the gym in 9 days due to the hurricane. Three of those days were without power and adequate food. (60-100 grams of protein daily). So as a result I lost alot of strength and some weight. I was down 8lbs when I walked in the gym at 183lbs. When I was 8lbs heavier I was at my strongest, even though Ive been 196-197 a few times before on the gym scale before meals. This was when I was either on NO2 or M1T though. Ive been off supplements for a while. I just started "Nitrix" today, so that should help me get back and hopefully hit some PR's in the next few weeks. Another problem is, theres another hurricane headed my way. Im going to do everything I can to assure Im not down to 175 by the time this one passes. I lose weight very quickly, along with chest strength especially. I looked alot more defined today, and chest was pretty striated as before, but all that means is my chest is weak,dehydrated and prone to cramp after the workout. I only hit 315 for 5.5 reps which is about a 4-5 rep loss on my bench press. Thats a big loss for me. Hopefully it wont take months to get back. Ill be KILLING that shit to the best of my ability and trying to force down as much as I can to gain the weight back. Then I did biceps. I started with 30lbs dumbells for seated alternating dumbell curls, for a nice slow 50 rep set. Then I hit 9 more sets. I had to do standing cable curls towards the end due to a pain running down both shoulders when I tried to curl. Maybe it was the pump. Never had that problem before. Strangely my arms were looking bigger, as I remembered them looking before the injury (even though they were 1/2 an inch smaller). I think this has to do with the extra definition. So the pump looked big again. Id rather be where I was 2 weeks ago though. Seems a little definition does make an arm appear bigger, always thought it was bullshit. Heres the routine:

(185lbs after 2lbs of water consumption and before meals) (One "Ripped Force")

Flat Bench Press:

135x20
225x12
275x8 (warm-ups, and 8th rep with 275 already heavy! Was getting 17)

315x5.5 (fucking weak!)
315x3 (Really FUCKING weak! This is why I dont voluntarily take a week off chest)
275x8.5
275x8
225x17.5 (All sets aside from warm-ups taken to complete failure)

Incline Bench Press:

135x20
225x11.5
275x2.5 (I WILL HAVE REVENGE!!)

Hammer Strength Wide Chest Machine:

180x15
270x11
320x6.5
230x12.5
180x14.5

Biceps:

Seated Alternating Dumbell Curls:

30'sx50 (Arms hanging to sides at certain intervals for rest)
30x19

Standing Alternating Dumbell Curls: (Always with a twist at the top)

40x8 +5 hammers

Double-Bicep Style Cable Curls: (Shoulder pain when curling normally)

60 (per side)x15
80x15
100x14
110x7
90x12
80x15
80x17

Abs:

Seated Ab Crunch Machine (pin loaded):

110x15
110x15
110x15
110x15

Glad to see you back under the BB

What about the lower body Beast ?

Have you become a chest&bis guy ?

 

[BlondBomber]

Hey, Beast, why you think you lose weight so quickly? You have a superfast metabolism? I guess I am the opposite, I can stop working out, and I'll be the same size and strenght, but then I turn into a giant fatass. Like, I once went from 220ish to 245 inlike 2 and half months. I didn't do a cycle or any supplements, I got bigger, plus a fucking huge belly.
I just looked at a twinky and gained 5 pounds, fuck!
Anyways, you will, as you say, "KILL THAT SHIT," soon. Hope Ivan doesn't fuck your shit up that much.

You KNOW, I know what you feel. That shit fucking sucks. But what's cool for you bro, is that you always bounce back hella quick....so don't even stress about it. Me on the other hand, I'll be lucky to maintain where I'm at right now over the next 6-8 weeks of cutting. KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT brother!

ThanX brother!! Ill be hitting legs today most likely. Had some setbacks that made it difficult to get legs in. Upper body always takes priority in those circumstances. Hurricanes, 4 consecutive back pulls (4 weeks in a row). ThanX again brother!! KILL THAT SHIT!!

Im not sure brother! Always thought it was my metabolism. Thats likely what it is. I wish it was slower, would make it much easier to just maintain. Maintenance can even be a struggle at times. Id definately consider myself a "hardgainer" if I was into making excuses as to why I couldnt gain. But really I believe that can all be overcome, unless there is some type of wasting disease these people have that Im not aware of. I could be wrong though. But I know for a fact that a shitload of people jump on that hardgainer wagon who could be making gains if they had the dedication and discipline, and that whining bullshit pisses me off! haha Just a vent, a bit off topic though! I can definately go without eating for long periods of time. If I do, Ill pay the price though. This is why a clean diet isnt hard for me to do. The harder part is eating enough clean foods. My diet is never clean though anyway. Im always bulking. Some days its cleaner then others. Yea, its not the hurricane thats the worst, but the after effects. No power for days/weeks, everything closed,gasoline shortage and getting arrested for leaving the house. Shit like that. Keep KILLING that shit!!

I know you can relate brother!! ThanX brother!! It doesnt always feel so quick! But I was glad to start getting back after that back injury. Still dont deadlift though. Ill try again though,eventually. Ive never really put much effort into cutting. Scares me! haha I tend to get more cut (not shredded or anything) with diet changes that arent intentional. Usually related to budget. After this hurricane and not eating much, I think I actually look bigger in many areas. But Im only 183! haha Ill get it back though. Sometimes Ill clean up the diet a little for short periods of time to make sure I dont accumulate too much fat. But its not much of a concern for me now. Im still light. haha Best of luck with the cutting!! KEEP KILLING THAT SHIT!!
