Improvement is the only way

[Big Wides]

Big Wides does all things in a big way. On a POS note, girls dig scars and big legs are in style.

Heal up Wides.

Yeah I've heard they do dig scars so judging by this one, who knows what it will bring. Gotta get them legs...big legs=big squats, which is nice

[J Wong]

You should look into the Smolov squat cycle, if you want to focus on lower body. It is not for everybody, but it is worth looking into

[Big Wides]

Chest....1/27/2010 at 630PM

Flies - 1x12, 1x10, 1x10+6 drop 1x8+5 drop 1x8+6 drop (repeated for 3 sets, last two sets were stackx10+6 drop 1/4 of the stack then drop 1/4 stack for last set)
Bench - 135x8, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 315x4 (those all were paused)
Incline Smith - 1ppsx12, 2ppsx10, 2pps+25x6, 2pps+25x6

Pre - Pump, VS, ALA, Beta9
Intra - 1 scoop Carb Max, 3 scoops Torrent
Post - Carton of Egg Whites, 1 tater, 4oz broc rabe

Still not wanting to push the envelope but got a nice pump in. My thinking more and more with the pre-exhaust for the bench is, that upon competeting I am never fresh for the bench and have some fatigue going from the squat. Train like your in a meet, so when it comes time for the meet, your ready to fire on all cyclinders

[mritter3]

strong workout there wides...you take torrent intra...and what the heck is that pwo...egg white with tater sauce or what?

[NJC_Manhattan]

Post workout is 12 eggs? That's pretty intense

That thought has cross my mind, its a nice psychotic workout that isn't for the weak at heart....but it gets the results


strong workout there wides...you take torrent intra...and what the heck is that pwo...egg white with tater sauce or what?

thanks man, I take Torrent Intra with Carb Max to keep the insulin spike riding high. The PWO meal was 1 carton of Egg Whites, 1 potatoe, and broc. Gotta get the greens in


Post workout is 12 eggs? That's pretty intense

Just the egg whites, I mixed all that stuff together into one pan and ate it. Gotta eat big to get big....


He raising his own chickens would not even surprise me with Wides.

Nah those fucking things stink to high heaven....plus the juice isn't worth the squeeze there

[Big C]

What's up my good brahoni. Hopin we both get picked here soon for Pros/Bros II. Nothin wrong with addin a couple more monsters to the squads....see you in the war zone brother here soon!

Bro you did a preexhaust and then went in and hit flat bench and still put up some sick numbers. Impressive shit bro. And 315 for paused reps? fuckin strong shit bro. Lookin forward to shooting the shit with you at the Philly ABC. Stay on the grind bro and keep in touch

[Big Wides]

Big C, the freak himself all is good in the hood. We shall see about Pros/Bros II and how that pans out....but either way its back to the front to get big


Glad you are healing up nicely... numbers look like they are coming back quick. by the way, what the heck is a luImberjack doing remodeling a bathroom??!? are you getting so swole that you dont fit in a human sized one anymore? <grin>

they are coming nicely and I have to be patient with this, I rush back and I am all sorts of fucked. Sadly I am not getting so swole that I don't fit into a normal sized one, remember I am just a normal dude who enjoys lifting weights that one day will get big.

Thanks bro, been doing a lot of preexhaust as of late get some new fibers growing and working on pushing weight while fatigued, it can only help with the growth factor. Those pause sets are a killer, no matter what weight they are its a different feel overcoming interia, but a damn good one in the end

[Ricky P]

B-Dub! Those paused sets looks ridiculous. Good stuff man.

I am in love with carbs

Felt good to get in there and the speed squats hit the spot. Legs feel damn good now and the quick pace can only help. Decent amount of explosion off the box and that will get better.

Funny story, as I am getting the chains out of the truck a couple of links inivertintly make their way towards the satchel area and wammo.....not a way i wanted to start the session.

100g carbs+40g whey intra

Had to get the heavy weight on my back again, figured this was it. Only carbs I had all day were intraworkout, and was tired but fuck that shit. That only means train harder to me....sets were nice and smooth and had a nice pop in them


Only 150lbs more to go

[J Wong]

Great squatting bro!

[Big Wides]

Great squatting bro!

thanks boom, trying to get back into a good spot with squatting heavy. I think the speed work will help a ton with getting this down, since it has helped me in the past with the breaking at the hips and that pop at the top

[Big Wides]

In case people wonder what I eat, here is what is going down ye olde hatch today:

Meal 1 - 2 whole eggs, 3 egg whites
Meal 2 - 8oz beef, 4oz asparagus, 3/4 cup oats
Meal 3 - 8oz beef, 4oz asparagus
Meal 4 - 2 scoops Ultra Whey Pro
Meal 5 - 8oz chicken, 4oz spinach, 4oz barley
Meal 6 - 6oz turkey

Nothing too fancy, no idea what this breaks out to but I like it

Nice Squatting there Wides...you still working on leaning out? (I would assume so based on the diet)

thanks IRBS, yes I am still working on leaning out haven't jumped on the scale in a while but the pants are fitting looser in the waist so something is working. I think I am around 245-250 right now

[shortstack]

What's up Wides. Very sorry to hear about the chains getting into the nuggets a few posts back. hahaha That's not a good way to start anything...ever.

I'll be anxious to see what the big guy from Philly will come with in the cage this year.

See ya then bro

Jeremy

[Ricky P]

Just need to fuel those workouts, and that definitely will do the job. Lookin' good.

[Firedrake]

Great work, Wides -- asparagus, eh? I'm not that fond of it, but I noticed Ox eating when we were in Vegas, too.

It makes . . . certain things . . . smell peculiar. <grin>

650 Squat? [sigh] Right now, I'd be happy getting back to a 350 that I was doing for reps in 2001, before I tore my quad and had back surgery. Great work.

Uncooked, eh? Never tried it that way. Do you put anything on it?

[Big Wides]

That's my goal right now, after I set that then its another one on top of that. Only olive oil but not too much of that stuff

[Big C]

Damn bro.....gonna be reppin out those curls, huh? Nice!

I know you don't need advice...but take it from me, move fast and don't worry so much about spot-on form when you're going for reps. Ox is 10x stronger than me but what hurt him last year was that he was "too" perfect on his reps and did them slow like he was doing a 10-rep set.....you're gonna tear it up man I have faith in you bro.

[LittleMan55]

Ready to watch you rock some big # curls!

Hang Cleans - 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x3
Machine Shoulder Press - 4x10, 1x10x10x10

That was it, got in late which is why I went at it solo. Speed was good on the squats and then hit up some shoulder stuff. Did some hang cleans only because it was one of those "oh why not" moments I have from time to time.

Thinking I might jump on a scale Sunday and start curling on Saturday....

[NJC_Manhattan]

Simple and effective!

that's a good motto there to follow with training. It's all about the intensity rather than the insanity at times.


For those wondering how the lean down process is working, I am sitting at 250 right now so going to up the cardio and play around with the carb timing and see what happens

[mritter3]

last 2 sessions looked solid man...strong workouts...i like what you said about intensity as oppossed to insanity...agree 100%

[Big Wides]

Felt good today and had to do Incline first cause all of the other benches were taken up at the same time. No worries need to get more meat on the chest area to build it up, did all this on two meals today, it all comes down to how big your balls are, how much fucking heart you have, and working through shit while not making excuses as to why it didn't go well.

[Big C]

it all comes down to how big your balls are, how much fucking heart you have, and working through shit while not making excuses as to why it didn't go well.

[Big Wides]

killer workout wides....that is a lot of torrent pre and mid workout...but i for one like it...let me know what you think of it.

thanks bro, yeah I like Torrent and having it pre and intraworkout really helps with the pump and the all important insulin spike. There was a point where I was taking three servings of Torrent surrounding my workout. It is a tad costly but it does work. Got me over the 240 mark when I did it. I picked it up from a couple of giants here on the board, so I figured, why not give it a try

Bench strength is getting back to it, really involved my lats good on the bench. Yes that is right lat involvment. The bench is a full body lift, legs, back, shoulders, tris and some chest....but that depends on your style.
thats the only style that matters when it comes to benching

strong chest day there wides....the cage keeps inching closer and your workouts keep getting stronger and stronger..

Tried to keep it moderate with the weight since its the first time benching in a while. Form is getting better with more of a focus on the "balls glued to the bench" form. Leg drive is getting better and the lat pushoff is increasing as well

Moving forward to making this more of a full body lift each time out

[Firedrake]

. . . ass to leg tie in? Have you tried doing piriformis stretches? They helped me in that region.

Integrity? I'm not sure a lot of people your age know what that is, Wides -- I -feel- like I've seen such a drop in that quality in business in the 34 years since I got out of the Army. Not to point fingers, but my current employers have lied through their teeth to me for three years, and I keep catching them at it. From the sound of it, you've run into it yourself, and I'm sorry.

Nice bench work! I really need to work on mine, and after my show in July, I'll get back to working on that.

That's all she wrote, between squating then deadlifting my hamstrings are sore as hell, but in a good way. Been stretching a lot lately and I think it is helping out a lot. Need to start transistioning this weight to the squats again, but in due time.

Nothing beats some moron who takes over half the gym to do his hopping/weight combonation training or whatever it's fucking called and then stares you down the whole session.....Eat something first before you stare down a person, it might fill out your ILS.

Squats....4/19/2010 at 8PM

Trained with Juggernaut

Squats - barx12, 135x10, 225x8, 315x6, 365x4, 495x2, 225x14
Leg Curls - 6 sets of 8
Leg Ext - 6 sets of 8
Pulldown Abs - 6 sets of 15

Well that jump was one fucking shock to the system. In thinking about it and being told that I would be making that jump, it was one of those "Are you outta your fucking mind" moments. But it went better than expected. Good things going on

And there is nothing better than Air Latted trainers thinking they are Van Damme or some shit like that

[Vaze_06]

Probably all mental dude...you just pulled 515 or so for multiple reps last week. Recharge and get it next week bro.

[Firedrake]

We all have 'em, Wides -- they can't all be perfect workouts. I know we'd like them to be, and we obsess over WHY they weren't, but all we can do is leave it in the logbook and hit it next time.

Felt good to get some decent weight in my hands on the bench and things are moving in a positive direction. Gotta work on keeping my ass on the bench more, which means digging my hips into the pad. It will come, just trying to get used to the weights again

[mcbeast]

Heavy work all around! Good job.

[Big Wides]

Thanks eddie, trying to turn what is heavy for me into light weights down the road.....going to keep grinding away until that happens. Then once it does, set new goals and go after them

Leg Curls - 7x10
Leg Ext - 7x10
Pulldown Abs - 7x10

Modified my stance a bit and it made the world of difference. Was able to get under the bar, stayed tight, and was able to squat some decent weight again. Didn't feel overly taxed from this session which is a good thing in my mind, had some left in the tank.

Only at Globo Gym would somebody who is walking around like they are carrying suitcases, would come up to the rack your squatting at, take the clips that you have on the rack for the heavier sets, walk away looking like he is carrying heavier suitcases than when he appeared and place those clips on a curl bar that has 2 tens on it. I was not only dumbfounded but just wondered "Why?"

[JUGGERNAUT]

un-real bro, I could not believe it with my own eyes and when you took the clips back we got the stare-down the rest of the night haha.

It was a tad fucked up, but I really don't have the time or energy to care what others think. I'm just trying to better myself and not care about people who have a stick permantely up their ass

[Firedrake]

I'm afraid I've developed a bit of a reputation at my fitness center for not letting people get away with this crap. How this guy did it to you tells me has more balls than sense!

It's not in my nature to cause a ruckus over this kind of stuff. I get more pissed and upset when I miss a weight rather than someone taking clips from the rack.

[Maccabee]

I can not believe the shit that people do. I was squating one night and this kid asked me how long I was going to use the squat rack for because he wanted to do Curls in them lol haha.

This kid had the balls to rush me. I am sorry but I dont rest 30 seconds between my squat sets haha.

I told him to take the bar and curl off the damn floor. He looked at me like I was crazy. I was laughing all night.

I ponder that question daily, I do know I am close to reaching my breaking point soon, so you might see me on Street Road sooner than later

[Big Wides]

Was a nice day today and I figured why not do some GPP nothing crazy since I haven't done this in a while

Sled Drags - 5 trips of 50yards, all done long strides
Walking Backward Drags - 5 trips of 50 yards
Sled Drags - 5 trips of 50 yards, form on this was more lower than the first trip

That was all, nothing crazy but it will help with recovery and getting me into functional shape that will help get the weights moving....

It was fun and I'm digging into the archives to see what I used to do for sled drags and incorporate them in the coming months to get to that next level we all are trying to get to. This could be something that would be real interesting on that hill behind Greg Longs.

thanks for the kind words bro, and yes Globo circus is the way to put it. Bunch of clowns running around, but the sled stuff was well worth it. Felt a different kind of accomplishment after the training.

HS Dip Thinger - 5 sets

Preworkout meal was a serving of Real Gains, some creamed chipped beef on two waffles, 2 pop-tarts and a cup of coffee (yes a very clean breakfast). Doesn't matter things were moving yesterday. The 405 was a good clean rep, granted some work still needs to be done with form and nailing it more, but its about getting the body used to handling the heavy weight

I've gotta catch your big ass with the bench and as you know the feeling of hitting 4 pies is a good one after weeks of grinding it out. And yes creamed chipped beef on toast is by far the cleanest meal out there, that will help you get jacked and tan in an instant

Well it was tight shirt night at Globo and I can say two things about it: For those who could pull it off, thank you for wearing them (I am not referring to the dudes here). For those who couldn't pull it off, please look in the mirror before leaving your house (this includes a lot of people here)

[Big Wides]

Well I am back after taking a week off from training and supps. Was in Florida and couldn't get around to anything but my body needed it. Things are feeling better and I am getting my meals back in and to my normal schedule of things. I am looking at doing a meet in November which should give me enough time to get my act together and start to do some damage here.

Calf Raises - 6x10

That was it, lowered the bar more on my back and it made a world of difference. Didn't want to go all sorts of crazy the first session back from a week off, which is why the 455 was done twice. Things felt good and I've gotta find a replacement for Leg Extensions, those things wreck my knees like nothing else. Diet has changed slightly as well:

Meal 1 - 5 eggs (3 whole, 2 whites), 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 tablespoon wheat germ
Meal 2 - 8oz meat, 3oz green stuff, 2oz carbs
Meal 3 - Same as 2
Meal 4 - Shake and almonds
Meal 5 - Same as 2
Meal 6 - either PB or 5oz meat

[Firedrake]

Looks solid, Wides -- I know I have similar problems with some Leg Extension apparati, but not all of them. It depends on the fulcrum and how my knees are supported.

[Big C]

It's funny man...I hear people make shit excuses why they can't squat or they hear it's bad for the knees....but squats have never given me problems is always those damn extensions. I've hurt my knees numerous times on that machine.

thanks man, feeling good these days....have a feeling the extra carbs will help increase the weights lifted and give me more energy during the day. The week off did wonders as well.

it will, I just have to be patient and not mind fuck myself like I do easily. I have been reviewing some film of my other comp deads to see what my form was like. I need to replicate that day in and day out to get the bigger weights up daily so that the meet jump is bigger as well


looking stronger Big Wides

thanks bro, I am trying and I have 6 months roughly to get my shit together. We shall see how the cards lie and I need to make up my mind on the weight class, its either going to be 275 or 242. I am sitting at 250ish right now so its time to decide

I took a look at some videos of my competition lifts to see what I was doing different then with my squat to what was being done currently. I noticed that a big thing was my stance and how wide I was squatting. As of late I brought my stance in without me noticing it. Took the stance out to what I used to squat in, had the bar lower on my back and went to town.....it was scary, I kind of looked like a powerlifter for a brief second there.

thanks for the kind words, to be honest I don't know how I look always have that picture in my mind of that 6' 155lb 15 year old I was 11 years ago. I can't let myself get complacient with anything....always need to be striving forward looking for the next best thing and how to get there. Call it work ethic or being hard headed....either way, I'll keep on trying

I know exactly what you mean. I literally cannot see my progress in the mirror, and even looking at pics, I see all the flaws, not the stuff that looks good. I see either the skinny/fat dude who showed up at the Cage last year, or I see my gut, which is still there despite my best attempts so far. I hope you don't mind me saying I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Whether it's work ethic, hard headedness or unwillingness to admit defeat, all we can do is keep at it.

haha that's right Big C....we can do cardio. It does feel good in an odd way and overall has a nice feeling with the day. I am taking in a lot of aminos throughout the day so I am not worried about losing the little muscle i have. Who knows maybe I'll get crazy and start doing 40 minutes, split up with two different types.


Solid pulling, Wides!

Congrats on the cardio <grin>!

the cardio is necessary and not that bad....just get lost in a thought then before you know it, its over. My diet hasn't changed at all, its just the cardio in the mix

Random thoughts surrounding diet/training, not the other kind of random thoughts which can be found in Widesian Logic (where at points I dazzle you with brilliance and baffle you with bullshit)

But I have in recent months in essence revamped the way I look at grubbing. I have essentially taken my carb counts down a tremendous amounts from where they were some time ago, to the point that I think a pre-contest bodbuilder eats more carbs than I do. The weird thing is I think I am gaining more size and strength (as some know I am a headcase when it comes to this, so I'll let those who train with me chime in there), than when I was eating a good amount of carbs. Also during this time, I added a small amount of carbs to my first meal and took my bodyweight from 245ish up to 260ish in about 3 weeks.

I am finding that my sleep pattern is better now than when I was taking PM. Again, this is another mystery to me

I have found pancake batter in an aersal can, which put a smile on my face (this pertains to diet, so its in this thought pattern)

For training, it seems that no matter what the weight was or what I did it never satisfies what I am looking to get out of it. There are sometimes that I leave the gym disappointed in my workout when it turns out to be a banner of a session. Don't know why I think this way or feel that way about certain sessions but they are working. This probably goes back to being a headcase.

Last random thought.....looking forward to November and competeting again

Not to shabby, hadn't benched in two weeks so felt rested for this one. The first attempt at 415 was a complete form fuck up. Took it down to slow and once it hit the chest, it sunk in and it all went to shit from there. Felt good to get a pump in, and all sorts of positive waves coming out of this
