Bench.....10/15/08 at 8PM

1.5 scoops Shock Therapy, 1 scoop Torrent, 6 Glutimine Preworkout

Bench - barx12, 135x12, 225x8, 315x8, 340x2, 345x2, 345x2, 345x3 (each rep paused), 350x3, 350x3, 350x3, 350x3, 350x2, 350x1, 350x0, 350x1, 350x1
Calf Raises - ?? x 12-10 reps
DB Flat Bench - 80x12, 100x5, 100x5, 100x5

3 scoops Torrent, 9 OKG Postworkout

Well it was either the full moon out tonight or we were just having too much fun benching. Since the sets of doubles worked so well squatting, figured that it would work lovley for bench. After the paused 345 set figured go up by 5 lbs and see how that went, 9 sets later it was all good. Manged to stay at the same strength/stamina for the whole pressing (the set of 0 was when Juggernaut and myself wanted to make it harder, so I set up with my heels off the ground, no good). Whole upper body was pumped, abs were sore by staying tight throughout.....calf raises were done to get them fuckers growing and db presses to cap it off. There were points where either of us would burst out into laughter mid set as the pressing was going on. It was a soild night, a fun night and a very productive night.

I'll let Juggernaut fill you in on how he did.....lets just say 2009 is his year

Surprisingly there are no tools in the truck. I've got chains, boards, empty protein containers but no tools.

Eating hearty today, doing absoultly nothing gym related wise and getting ready for benching on Wed. Gotta have a good rest of the week to make up for Monday

[LittleMan55]

I'm sure Wed. will kick ass. But like you said you found an area that needs improved, so in my mind I wouldnt see where anything would need to be made up for. Sure if you dont need improvements and Monday sucked in your opinion make up for it, but we all know the name of the game is imporvement which is what you busted ass to do.

Yeah I'm just a tad hard on myself.....but I found something to exploit and it comes at a good time since I will be pulling sumo for the next two weeks (two weeks convential, 2 sumo) since they both compliment each other nicely. The Arnold is close at hand but still far enough away to get more lbs on.

Good session tonight, the way warmups were going I thought it would have been a piss poor one. Took me till the second set of 355 to finally start to feel a groove and the weights feeling light. Need to take more time on my set up with the warmup sets so that when the heavy weights come I can go at them full bore. First time doing a drag curl and they felt damn good. Not a lot of weight being used but took them nice and slow, dont know how many sets of calves or flies were done but lets say chest is nice and stretched and I am still working on getting a launch pad for my hams on the squat. Legs on Friday.....WOOOHOOO

Hanging Leg Raise - a lot of sets x 12-8

3 scoops Torrent 9 OKG Post

Did not think I was going to go that high, all of the warm-up sets felt heavy as shit but came into the 495 set and smoked it....the 585 is the heaviest I have had on my back since the 9/27, so it was good to get that up. Form work and to really hammer the hell out of the legs with the 405x5 set at the end. Knocking on the door of 600..... Lots of abs afterwards. Juggernaut was up to his old tricks again, making heavy weight look easy as usual. G was looking damn strong on the bench, a true iron warrior there.

Arms tomorrow in Philly at Body World.....boooyah

Got some Tony Lukes PWO and gained about 15lbs in bloat from the combo of Torrent and Wiz

Thanks Thrawn, 600 is right around the corner and it will get nailed before the year is over. I think after that I might start using knee wraps to see how heavy I can push it

Great wo wides... There is never a dull moment in here that is for sure. Too funny about the 15 lb bloat, wish I could get a good cheeseteak PWO!!!

Got some Tony Lukes PWO and gained about 15lbs in bloat from the combo of Torrent and Wiz

LOL, did you guys sell tickets to this gun show??? LOL nice work Wides!

[McFly]

LOL, did you guys sell tickets to this gun show??? LOL nice work Wides!

haha i got there late...tickets were sold out but i got a sneak peak preview...Wides has some Artillery under his sleeves!

[Big Wides]

LOL, did you guys sell tickets to this gun show??? LOL nice work Wides!

We should have....it was a ton of work thrown into a short time frame. The dropset to start it off was intense. It was a fun session to say the least.

haha i got there late...tickets were sold out but i got a sneak peak preview...Wides has some Artillery under his sleeves!

Yeah some light artillery if its anything.....they need to get bigger and stronger, that will hopefully lead to some nice numbers in all of the lifts with them

[Pizzalamp]

glad u had some good times at the abc...looking very large my friend

Anyone hear about the new adult film coming out? It's called "The Lumberjack- I Bring the Wood" Starring James Widener aka Big Wides.

Says the guy who just barely missed the raw PL overall weight record by less than 40 lbs this year. That's 40 lbs over all 3 lifts people! We are talking automobile weight here.

My prediction: the record will be blown away in epic and ridiculous proportions making the PR look like it was 10 years old or something. Openers heavier than last times finishers, I could go on but I'll save some of it for judgment day...

First Workout of Phase 1....the road to 270, 10/28/08 at the Globo

Trained with Juggernaut

1.5 scoops Shock Therapy, 1.5 scoops Intra-Aid, 2 ALA caps, 2 Carinitine Caps Preworkout

Sumo Deads - barx10, 135x8, 225x5, 315x5, 405x5, 455x1, 455x0, 455x1
Convential Deads - 405x5, 405x5, 405x5
Rope Ext. - 2x10
Skulls - 135x3, 135x4, 135x5, 135x4, 135x5
Hamtractor - 5 sets 12-10 reps, stackx10 reps on last set

Nautilus Ab Machine - 9 sets 15-9 reps, heaviest set was 200lbsx9

3 scoops Torrent 9 OKG PWO

Not a bad session at all, I am not a sumo puller at all infact I had trouble with 315 last week so today was a good day. All sets were done with no belt at all, need all the ab work I can get plus it helps me to stay tight throughout the move. It was different pulling sumo lot more groin, hips, ass, and hamstrings but the stronger I get them the stronger my convential pulls and squats become. Moved to convential deads to get some extra work in and hammer home my new stance on them. Skulls were fun lots of heavy weight being used there and its only the beginning. Juggernaut was doing his thing on the deads making 455 look like a toy, and came close to the 495....he's getting his legs more into the movement which is scary.

Its going to be one hell of a winter......time to put what has been done behind and move forward. Got a lot of work to do and I like it that way

[JUGGERNAUT]

I really screwed up my journey! I forgot how many we did with 455!!! I gotta change it now... again haha...third time

Solid pullin Wides! Sumo takes work, I prefer Conventional...Sumo is so technical that if you are off by an inch, you will miss it! LOL

Solid pullin Wides! Sumo takes work, I prefer Conventional...Sumo is so technical that if you are off by an inch, you will miss it! LOL

thanks IRBS, it does take a lot of work I also prefer conventional can get more out of it. But I feel that alternating with 2 weeks of sumo and 2 weeks of convential the sumo will help the convential out a lot since more hip, hamstring and ass strength is needed. We shall see how it goes from here

[KiNgKoNgPrOnGeD]

You just opened my eyes about pulling both sumo and conv. That's something i need to get back to doing, as you are right, it really benefits the other.

Boom baby! The gate is open and they are off! Good stuff Wides, got me fired up. Very nice pulling.

So what was for dinner man? You know me, I gotta know because it is just as important as form and weights. 270 eh? I'm up 15 lbs right now, you got me fired up. Time to do this man!

You just opened my eyes about pulling both sumo and conv. That's something i need to get back to doing, as you are right, it really benefits the other.

Its something I really never thought to much into, but reading some things from Volgephel or however you spell it, that when your strong in one your going to be strong in the other. I know I can get 600 off the floor and locked out (hasn't counted in a meet due to a slight hitch) but fuck it I want big boy weights. I've gotta compete against freaks out there (an example would be McFly), so I have no choice but to get stronger and grow or sit in the shallow end of the pool playing with the water jet.

thanks Hg, 270 is a nice round number (lets hope I dont get any rounder, that would be bad). For eats its going to be some red meat cooked with garlic and peppercorns, side of pasta, some brocili rabe, and if I am feeling frisky maybe some chicken (not much) after the feeding

That is exactly why I keep Sumo pulls in the mix. It really stresses those hip muscles. Stronger hips = bigger Squat and pull...

I was attending an expo one time and in the diner I was in, this guy walks in with a lot (of what looked like fans and friends)... Not a huge dude but short/stocky and like 220lbs. Later on in the day at the PL meet, the same guy does a 900lb squat...nuff said.

Well we kinda went a tad nuts on the pressing.....however with the new split gotta make every session count and take it to extremes. Took me 3 sets of 365 to finally warm up and get going...form sucked donkey balls all night was all over the place each set, can't let that happen. Whole upper body is shot which is good, got two days to recover. Gotta get shit in order before the next pressing session.

[Big Wides]

enjoy!

Been thinking out eating since I am having trouble doing it right now. And I have made an executive decision....Pop-Tarts will return PWO. I figure not only do my tastebuds need them but my muscles sent me a nice letter letting me know how much they miss them. And in good intrest I am not going to piss off the muscles, never works out well, they revolt its not pretty.

20 min of cardio PWO

Hot damn it felt great to be back, and what a way 31 reps of 405 to get things moving this week. It felt nice and good, each set and rep was a soild 1-2" below paralell. Kept the head up and drove out of the hole head first so not only was it a ball busting day it was also a tech. driven day as well. Feeling nice and sore already which is awesome, love this feeling. Did some abs to give the legs a rest then into shoulders. That was a taxing movement and required all the energy we had left to complete it. Which is a good thing, the body was taxed and wanted to quit, but a new threshold was established making us that much stronger. It was a nice way back to trainin after that week sickness.

Back in the lab and it was a damn good feeling, now I know how Dr. Frankenstein felt when he was creating his monster......

Hot damn it felt great to be back, and what a way 31 reps of 405 to get things moving this week. It felt nice and good, each set and rep was a soild 1-2" below paralell. Kept the head up and drove out of the hole head first so not only was it a ball busting day it was also a tech. driven day as well. Feeling nice and sore already which is awesome, love this feeling. Did some abs to give the legs a rest then into shoulders. That was a taxing movement and required all the energy we had left to complete it. Which is a good thing, the body was taxed and wanted to quit, but a new threshold was established making us that much stronger. It was a nice way back to trainin after that week sickness.

Back in the lab and it was a damn good feeling, now I know how Dr. Frankenstein felt when he was creating his monster......

aah yess nice sq session man!

how are those pop tarts treating ya lol?

Thanks bro, feeling every bit of it today. Thos Pop-Tarts are amazing, had 2 Cookie Dough ones last night with my Torrent and OKG. Was in heaven

Great looking work, Wides -- but then, I can believe you and B.A. driving each other to more work.

Thanks Firedrake, just doing what we can to get bigger than before. The whole idea behind last night's session as Juggernaut put it was to build muscle (hypertrophy) and get 405 to feel like 135. Judging from the DOMS both were accomplished

Solid Squattin Wides

thank IRBS, getting myself prepped for 2009 and the comps I'll be going for then. Trying to make some noise in either the 242s (hahaha, we shall see if I get that light) or in the 275s. Either way gotta lay down the work now so come comp time its all there ready to go

[McFly]

that's a lot of 405's !!!!

[JUGGERNAUT]

It was IOMS....INSTANT Onset muscle soreness haha!!!!! (Kinda sounds like pet food)

"Feed your dog IOMS for a powerful physique!"

All I can say about training last night is...BISON! (and flock I'm sore)

[LittleMan55]

That was an interesting combo with lots of big weight... The week of made you and Juggernaut more crazy it seems. Which will result in lots more growth, so carry on!

thank you for your kind words, it means a lot. i am trying to get bigger and stronger as the days progress, taking each step I can to becoming what I want to be. Everything that is worthwhile in life and what you want comes through hard work, putting your time in, and never giving up on what it is you want.

heh heh the madness never stops in here...never...thanks for motivating me to push it tomm big wides

thanks Pizza, I gain a lot reading what you do with all those crazy weights and supersets, which is more motovating than what I do here. Seeing what you do lights a fire under my ass to get things moving

[Big Wides]

So yesterday I get this bright idea to do some cardio. Granted I need to do some and I felt my legs were up to it, and my thought process was "a little cardio is good to get the blood flowing"..... yeah I was completely wrong on that, afterwards the legs were tight. So, in my bright Einstein like moment leads me to believe I need to stop thinking. On the other hand I get to eat more which is good and I found my bands last night as well. I forget what the tension is on them but they are the green ones so I am thinking about 100lbs or so at the top.....

Dude I hear you on the jogging which is why my fat ass doesnt do it I just walk. Plus the fact that when I run or jog it sounds like Fred Flinstone trying to start his car, which is never good.

Yes I remember that, I ain't that young. Also they double as a nice water ballon launcher as well.....

The Average Band (Green) Pair is about 120lbs at the top, so about 60lbs a piece. Of course, this all depends on how tall you are, how they are set up, etc. But, that tension is a good estimate.

Here is what Elitefts.com says:
http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=138&pid=248

We always just say "x"lbs of bar weight plus greens. It is impossible to know what the tension really is going to be exactly.

Yeah you are right about that, thats the thing about bands but they are a great tool to use for any lift. I feel they really help mimic the correct way to find a natural groove when you lift and the fact that they are a ball buster can't be beat.

Back in a big way! Ah the world is back in order now. Good to see you makin it back into the gym big guy.

yes sir, gotta make strides now and keep moving forward to the bigger prize out there. Got big things planned and now is the time to put the work in

Yeah I had to, was getting a little to "Jolly" and I wasnt about ready to change what I eat or how I eat so I threw in some cardio. Its helping plus the staminia during training has increased as well....which is always good

Well if Mr. Legos is there he can go join Billy Biceps, the Air Lat Twins, and Puddy to go train over in there corner of the world while we actually move some weight with REAL exercises that produce freaks with no necks (which is a good thing).

3 scoops Torrent, 9 OKG and a Brown Sugar Pop Tart PWO

Well I had the 585 off the floor cleared the knees and then it stopped. From thinking about it I did not get my hips forward at all during the pull or throw my shoulders back....the second set of 585 kicked me in the nuts. This was the first time I was handling heavy weight BUT THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE, I've gotta lift the heavy weights, make them count as a rep before I can get anything done. This is a good session it gives me roughly 8 days to think about this session, let it sink in and get me fired up for the next one. The 585 will go down next time, can't be missing weights like this, its gotta get done. Did calves and tris afterwards to get the ball rolling on them and to help assist the other lifts as well.

Juggernaut had one hell of a pulling session, damn proud of what he did....but I will let him tell you about it

Too many sets and reps on your work up to pull a max single Wides...you know this! 135x5, 225x3, 315x1, 405x1, 495x1, 545x1, 585x1...or, 495x1, 585x1, 600x1...

Thanks IRBS, yeah I know I did a lot of sets/reps, the 585 pull was one of those decisions where you pick a weight and try it. I figured I tried it a couple of weeks ago squatting and got it so lets give it a try on the deads. I know next time what my approach is going to be and I know I will be working on some form stuff in my free time to get it back

Eating lots of ground beef and pasta today.....back to work tonight in the gym, I'm ready to go at it again. Fully kicked the bug, got my appetitie back (local supermarkets shake in fear), so I'll be there tonight armed with Torrent and Pop-Tarts ready to do battle yet again. Got work to do, things to fix, and they aren't going to do it by themselves

You know, this 'Pop Tart' revelation happened just after my cheat meal had passed, literally down the pan.... And for the whole week i have been craving pop tarts due to the above post. Havent had sugar cravings for the duration of this evil cut, then this bombshell hit me. This sunday, somewhere between a greasy chinese banquet and lashings of Torrent, a pop tart or 5 will be making friends with my stomach.

Thank you Wides, you have made the countdown to sunday both painful and exciting at the same time.

Done, that was it. Went after 410 today twice, the first time I got it off the chest but hit my sticking point. The second time hit the same thing so decided to do weights to get a rep at or above 400lbs but no big deal of not getting that, I know I have it in me. Struggled and strained the muscles so that is great, you learn a lot by doing it that way. With the barbell curls went into it wanting to hit them heavy, and after the 185 set I wanted to hit a cheat curl set and see how many times I could get 205, the first one went well and went after the second but it stopped at my waist. Ended it nicely with Incline DB Curls to stretch it all out. Squats and fun stuff come Wed. I am eating wings, ribs, and pop-tarts today....gotta love it

Looks like a good session -- I can always expect to see good effort from you, and you describe well the efforts and methods you use.

[Pizzalamp]

thanks bro, it was a good session I feel that I learn a lot from these plus I always leave taxed which is a good thing. These methods and thought processes that I have during the sessions help me not only better understand training but hopefully share with everyone a little bit of what goes on

great workout wides!

thanks Pizza, yeah I am going for that nice toned look....now if I could only find my abs then I'd be set

Solid work Wides. Moving some heavy weight.

thanks bro, gotta keep moving the heavy weight until it becomes light, then find heavier weights and repeat the process.....its all fun

Nice session and wow on the curl strength, Ill take some of that.

thanks diesel, I'd be more than happy to share it with you and everyone else.....the more of our kind walking around makes everything a tad better....thanks for stopping by

thanks broc......it felt good to handle that weight, gotta get the CNS used to all this heavy shit so that it can handle it in multiple loads and frequencies....

For some reason yes bro. Not calling it out at all. Lord knows I'm not the guy to call out any ones diet. It just seemed to me like something you would eat during a cut minus the Torrent? Maybe my math is bad this AM. Or, maybe I need to look closer at what I do! Might be why I'm putting on so much fat right now. Just trying to learn bro, please take it as nothing more than that.

Damn.....you found out my secret. Yes I am trying to lean out a tad which is why the carbs aren't all that impressive, normally it is 1 to 1.5 cups of carbs per meal. I was getting a tad to fat which throws off a whole lot of different things for me lifting wise (speed, balance, breathing while lifting), so for me right now its not a big thing to throttle back the carbs, keep the protein coming and still train like I do. I feel that my weights haven't suffered at all with eating like this so its all good, but when the weights take a hit....its back to ye olde drawing board. I am still sitting nicely in the 250s which allows me to drop to the 242s if needed or stay at 250 and get stronger at the same weight

So I wasn't so far off? dangggg..... I must be learning something from you guys ;)

I may need to do the same thing. I want to trim it down just a tad. I'm going to wait until I'm done with this AA cycle though.

Thanks for the info bro.
