HaHa Awesome Bro!! Now you have more work to do with this new forum…

Here in Portugal we have a popular speech u says; “Assim Juntas o Útil ao Agradável”, it means something like; “Now you can put the needed and the agreeable together” …

today was hard worked 9 hours and then hit the gym, yes it was one of those days where i had to dig down deep and get my head on straight and stay focused. I like to train before work when i get a chance but sometimes shit happens and you got to deal with what was delt to ya. after i put the tunes on i was ready and ended up having a great workout i went at a fast pace so i could not think about the world, all i could feel was my chest pumping up and my shirt getting tighter as i did sets. i hit 16 sets today all my sets were to failure. i did not have a spot so i used the smith and some hammer equipment but i left the weight on my chest each set and it felt good. I think i have some of the best workouts when i a tired and then just dig down deep and come up big... main thing i lived to see another day and will be back to hit the iron again tomorrow with arms.... later the house

01-09-07, 11:45 pm
I hear ya man... Some of my best workouts came on days when I was absolutely fucking drained getting into the gym. It's like you know you gotta get shit done and your body says "fucking give 'er!... but just for an hour." You'll sleep well tonight! 16 sets to failure... damN!

good shit House, gotta say your calve muscles are out of this world, really do hope you feature in the "Animal Legs" DVD, solely for those killer calf muscles.

Just a quick question, would you say hitting them really hard to failure once a week is better than maybe twice a week moderate, from your experience?

back day was a blast bro, today i fried my back by stacking two exercises three different times, at three sets each... first i did deads stacked with chins... how i did it was did deads then no rest to chins then rest each one was to failure. after i did my first set of deads to failure and then hit chins i had a huge pump in my lower back all the way up to my traps... the second two exercises were bar bell rows with lat push downs three sets while doing this i was so tired that started to think why do i do this... then i sad suck it up bro you do this because this is what you do... some people are good at being a doctor and i am good at movin weight and pushing the pain out...
the third was latpulls in the back with good morns.... after the workout i was bent over like i was lookin for quarters on the floor bro it was grerat....

House,
Question for you concerning deep squats. Actually, the deep question for you is concerning quad growth. Now, unlike you, i didn't pick out my parents properly and I chose two people with super skinny legs (and no butt). I have, for the last 10 or so YEARS been trying to correct my genetic short comings. I have a very difficult time building my quads though I have to admit I have made good progress but certainly not fast enough for me! I've heard that in order to get quads to go you need to do heavy squats - sounds cool. Then I've heard that in order to go you need to do deep squats - sounds cool. Problem is, (here's the funny part) I can't do both! LOL. So, in your massive opinion, should I concentrate on doing deep squats regardless of weight?
Dave.

Hey House, I'm curious what was it like when you were preping for your first contest? Were you nervous/excited? Were you just getting your feet wet and use it as a learning experience or were you determined to win the whole thing? 'cause I'm feeling kinda lost, I'm 10 weeks out and I feel like I need to add more muscle in order to be competitive, but I also want to be as shredded as possible. I'm not trying to make any weight classes, do I still have to weight myself on a regular basis or just go by how I look in the mirror?

bro when i was getting ready for my first show i was excited not nervous, but i wanted to win the whole thing.. but i did not win the whole show.. each show you learn something new, and should get excited. bro will tell you a few things that i have learned, 1. get lean you can always be leaner 2. practice your posing so you look like you have been thier 3. always put one more coat of tanner on... just have fun and if you do that, then you will win...

Bro today i had one of my best shoulder workouts todate... I did all my shoulder work seated, so i would isolate the shoulder more. also did all movements slow and with good form..here is how it went down

seated db side raises 9 sets
setted db front raises 9 sets
seated db rear delts 9 sets
seated db shurgs 9 sets

as you can see the sets were high because i used light weight and very little rest hit all reps from 8-12 each set..
good workout not something i do every week but a good change when you want to get a burn and make the joints feel better...

HOUSE, this post raised a thought. Since puttin on some decent weight in the last two years, nearly 40 lbs, I get mad lower back pumps anymore when shoveling snow, raking, or even vacuuming. I think part of it is just that I "notice" the muscles being worked now, where beforehand I was clueless to muslce physiology. But part of it is for real, some wicked pumps and early lumbar fatigue. Whats the deal? I can deadlift 400 lbs but cant shovel a friggin driveway? Thanks man.

bro i have the same things happen to me... when i am gaining weight my back gets pumps from doing about anything....it is from the extra weight think about it if you carry around a 40 pound db all day it would make your back hurt... since my last show i am carry around a 60 lbs db, so i feel the pump... i think i got a pump in my back just from brushing my teeth one day it was great...

this week has not been going so great, damn cold winter with inches of snow.. to top it off feels like i am coming down with a cold. I hit back yesterday and it felt like my head was floating away, and i just was not as strong. today was chest day i went light because i felt like shit. some people say dont work out when you are sick but i need to because it feels good for my head.. more like a mental thing.. i will live to see another day and fight another war against the iron.. it might have won this time but i will be back, stronger than ever..

this week has not been going so great, damn cold winter with inches of snow.. to top it off feels like i am coming down with a cold. I hit back yesterday and it felt like my head was floating away, and i just was not as strong. today was chest day i went light because i felt like shit. some people say dont work out when you are sick but i need to because it feels good for my head.. more like a mental thing.. i will live to see another day and fight another war against the iron.. it might have won this time but i will be back, stronger than ever..

It does become pretty routine and predicatable doesnt it House? The meals, the training, the whole regimen. I dont even have to log in my book anymore because everyday I already know what meals I will eat from one day to the next. Its like we are machines..wake up, eat, train, eat, rest...its all instinct now.

Einstein once said, “The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.” Someone else then said, “Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins.”

Hmmmm..thoughts to ponder on while we do cardio perhaps? LOL
Hang in there...you and I are bustin our asses getting ready for shows, (of which both shows are days apart from one another too), and for the things we want to achieve out of all this. Personal achievement always starts in the mind. Never give up, your a leader, your actions and words inspire us...so there's more pressure for you..LOL

I will end for now with this quote, but I will be back:

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar (motivational speaker)..and no..I didnt find this in any self help section either! LOL

I am coming in big this year legs and all they say bring up your upper body House your legs are to big well tis year everyone is going to say House bring up you legs your chest is too big..... No but i hope to be in perfect proportion that is my goal and i am looking great... next week at ten weeks out you could say there are going to be some good changes going on.

Get up doing cardio, eat, train, do cardio, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, do cardio, then eat one last time.. that is how i like the days to go. no cleaning up trash, waiting on people for everything they need. just some me time is needed.. dont get me wrong i still hang with the fam and play with my son but that is me time. me time is doing what makes me me. doing what it takes to win my next show. doing what it takes to make the people around me happy is what i do. well i am off to smash some legs. most people dont think i got it, but we will see when i hit the stage again in july watch out to all that get in my path. well off to the gym before my animal pump kicks in...........

I was ten weeks out this past weekend so i turned you the intensity in my tarining. at ten weeks out my mind must be focused and i need to change things up a bit. I am hitting every body part every 5 days instead of once a week. this will help me burn more cals and bring out more separation and depth in my cuts. I am also rotating three different workouts in this rotation. a cycle with a pyramid, 4x8, and giant sets. this gets my body jacked and will bring out some deep cuts.

pyramind all exercises 15, 12, 10, 8 on these 5 days
day1 chest and tri
day2 back and bi
day3 legs
day4 shoulders and traps
day5 off but i do weighted abs on off day so not really off

after day five i go right back to the start with 4x8 on all the exercises
day1 chest and tri
day2 back and bi
day3 legs
day4 shoulders and traps
day5 off but i do weighted abs on off day so not really off

after that 5 days i repeat but with giant sets on each day.
day1 chest and tri
day2 back and bi
day3 legs
day4 shoulders and traps
day5 off but i do weighted abs on off day so not really off

then i start over back to the top. it works well and is a great change to my training. i like it because i am hitting everything more than just once a week.
on my sets i get 16-20 on big muscles and 12-16 on samll muscles... my cardio is at 90 min at three different sessions AM= 30min, After training=30min, then at night= 30mins. things are looking good..... we will see where these new blue prints take us...

shit gets hard... it is not easy when you are cutting down to step on stage. the average everyday task seem harder and is harder to get done. some people might think walking around at low bodyfat levels are great, but it kicks my ass. at 9 weeks out i am around 4-5% bf and it makes things so much harder. this weekend i was thinking... i hear peolpe always bitchin about doing yard wok and how hard it is. i just laugh, because they have no idea how it feel to cut the grass when it is 80 out and you are 4% bf and on low carb. It is a mental thing for me. i do it because it needs done and i am not one to bitch or get things handed to me. i work my ass off in the gym at work and at home, what every i do, i do it right and do it right the first time....

I know exactly how that is. I competed just over a month ago and measured in at 3.02% after shedding water and it sucked. For the last month prior to the show, I dragged major ass. Sex with my wife was pretty much non-existent. If I sat down at work, I seriously couldn't get back up. If I dropped something, it was a workout in itself just bending my ass over to get it. It's hard to believe I made it through those last workouts and cardio sessions--I lived on Animal Pump and caffeine. Being shredded looks bitchin', but energy is down the toilet. I love being fat, strong, and happy.
Hang in there, bro.

If you want to guess-timate, what weight you came in last year and what you will come in at this year? Have you brought up certain areas or just bulked in general?

last year at the North Americans i came in at 215, this year i want to be at 222-225, but if i come in less and look better than last year then so be it. it is all about how you look not what the scale reads. if i come in at 210 and look 230 then that is all that matter.. that is better them being 225 and lookin 210 because the scale will not win ya the show... this year i focused on my upper chest and back thickness... if i filled them out when i am on stage then i will have done something.... it is small steps that will get you to the top.. each show i want to get something better. i want to look in balance as much as possible..

Do you have some big brute guarding the squat rack for you at hand on these days, coz if i wanted to try that giant set routine (with less weight), chances are the second i hit the calfs and lunges, the squat rack will be seized in my absence by someone else. Or do peeps in general know not to fuck with the House's training program and jus stand back!

House...you know best. Good call if you felt the timing wasnt right. I respect you even moreso for making such a decision and I know its tough cause many look foward to see you compete, even you look foward to seeing yourself compete!

I feel the same way as far as competing is concerned..shows are all over the place and I have the itch already to do another show, but I also know realistically..Im not ready. For my next show, I want to be as close to my best as possible and that in itself is a challenge far too great to just ignore or rush through just for the sake of wanting to get on that stage, cause I do love show prep.

Doing a show means more to me now than just getting up there and posing...I have learned to respect it for all its worth.
I admire your passion, dedication, will power and patience.
I always wish you the best and most success in this crazy sport we live for! LOL

Later!

Who is going to the North Americans to support House
in his quest for a pro card?

I live in Cleveland, so I might just go.

Many of us can't travel there, but House knows that all of us have him in our hearts and minds not only on the day of competition, but always. He is our Animal Brother, and we are his.

youre heads in the game bro, and the path you have made for youself thus far has been one filled with determination and consistency, not to mention ten tonnes of pure balls to add to the mix.
live in the moment, get your mind off your stomach and youll be fine. remember youre playing to win, no time to change the blueprints.

Well, you're probably getting up pretty soon to do your cardio. Good luck man, I remember last spring a buddy of mine (H-bomb, I think you know him, I know he knows you) wouldn't stop complaining of how hungry he was. hahaha, he kept pounding down those diet colas. Good luck, I know its hard, stay strong, you're in this to win!

I'm sure you know this but sleep is important for fat loss... stress/sleeplessness causes weight gain in abdomen. Try to sleep man! Good luck though, and keep that drive going! You'll be sure to reap the rewards!

I know the feeling all too well bro, I feel like I'm re-living it when you speak about it.. I couldn't sleep AT ALL about 2 weeks out form my last show. My body was a blazing inferno, I would chug on my water to try to put the flames out...but it did no good. I would toss and turn all night, get up to piss 3-4 times, constantly checking the mirror.. My eyes were always open before the alarm went off at 4am to bang cardio, most of the time I would just get up early, i was ready.

I feel you bro, stay strong... Use it to your advantage, feed off it, your body is telling you you're on the right track. You're getting fucking PEELED! In these last couple weeks when you start to get skeleton face, you will know the battle armor is ready...it's time to go to war baby!

I'll see you there bro...

Respect,
Mike
