all is well homer, its a great priveldge to workout with those two monsters, as intense and mind-blowing the sessions are, at the same moment they are down to earth. but each one is a challange on what the human body can handle, and how far it can grow

How is globo gym treating you big brother?

[JUGGERNAUT]

what is it that seperates the masses of people from those who run when the shit hits the fan and between those who stay and confront it? is it a direct result of what should not have been spoken, or have so many people sold not only themselves but what they believe in for 30 pieces of silver? this topic only comes to mind as i sit here because of what is happening in the world around us, or perhaps it is the battle within us that is fueling this as well. i am a firm believer that whatever negative energy that may be around us or in us can ultimaltey be turned into the positive and for the better. for instead of selling whatever we have for 30 pieces of silver, we keep those pieces and build upon them something that can not be broken. words and actions break bones, but they can heal them just as fast as they break them. i can only think of a good friend of mine who was one of the Lost Boys of the Sudan.....who came here asking for nothing, who did not sell his 30 pieces of silver, but made something out of it. not taking it easy at all, and those simple actions have inspired me to become a better person....one whose outlook on the world has changed.....for the better. open-mindedness and free thought is something that has escaped modern man.....everyone is afraid to be a free thinker.....i say fuck that shit.....think freely, act freely this is America a nation founded on those very principles. harness the raw power and thought that those before us have embraced, so that when or if the shit ever hits the fan, we can stand their knowing that our morals, thoughts, work ethic, desires and dreams can not be bought for 30 pieces of silver

nice post wides...lamb of god is having an influence on your writing...ashes of the wake what an album,love it...

yeah its a combo of reading beyond the lyrics, things that have happened/going on in my life, and the general mindset of the general population sometimes fuels these inner thoughts. like a lot of events, words, actions sometimes the meaning of what is trying to be related lays beyond what appears in black and white

This was awesome! The best part was the change up of new moves (DC Chins with a pie), doing retarded weight in everything else; then being able to say we didn't "really" do cardio by playing B-Ball at the end..

liked those DC chins, i felt i was able to get a nice long stretch when hanging, now that we have set a standard with the single pie on the chins, we are going to have to test how many pies we can handle. and the B-Ball cardio was an eye opener, for me to lay it out how out of shape i am......was a good session

nice session bro...Speaking of adding weight to the stack...On Sat when I went on to hit bench, Big Mike was just finishing up on his squats. Homeboy is like 5'-6"/5'-8" and clocks in at 275, his legs are so big he has that funny walk we all want. He hit 860 on squats and said that the 910 he had on there would not stop bouncing so he racked it.....He then moved on to the leg extension machine. Pinned the stack, then hung a 35, then went around the gym a collected all the little 5 and 10# bricks that you can add on top of the stack. was so high that there was only about a foot from the top of the stack to the top of the machine. He did like 4 sets of 10....You monsters amazing me, and give me a goal to work towards, some day I too will walk funny...

For they knew as the dawn approached that battle was at hand again"

Nice going, I offered to help a friend move way back and he took me up on it this SAT. NUFF SAID, it was the pure hell we enjoy in the gym only outside of the gym. I'm just sorry you were not around for "Sofa Toss," "Armoire Tackle" and "Stair Sprints" with Entertainment Center.

thanks John, that quote fits a lot of members here and those who train. we must never give up no matter what the odds are, for if we do then the house has won, but we go against the odds and beat the house, then we have just made another step in our journey. each day is def. a battle, i am grateful that i can go into battle for there are some who can not

I'm just sorry you were not around for "Sofa Toss," "Armoire Tackle" and "Stair Sprints" with Entertainment Center.

that sounds either like an agility drill used by sports teams or the next events in the WSM competitions......moving days i have found fun in, espically if the stuff is going to end up in the trash, it is saved for last and then meathead activites are brought upon it

[Big Wides]

When it comes to moving, being big is like having a pickup truck--you're the first guy people think of when they're putting together a team. Peace, G

moving, football, b-ball or for changing a flat tire (lifting up car).....being big has all the perks

thats so true. Everytime something heavy needs to be moved or something I get summoned by my friends. haha..

[Big Wides]

here is how today went Thursday 11/8:

snatch - barx5, 65x5, 95x5, 135x2, 155x2, 185x2, 195x2
cleans - 135x5, 155x5, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 255x3
jerk - 135x2, 185x2, 225x2, 255x2, 275x2
squats - 135x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x2, 365x2, 405x2, 435x2

the reason why the reps were kept low is to keep the lifts explosive. the snatches took a while to get used to again but once i found the sweet spot on the bar all was well.....really not to disapointed in the lifts since its been a while, but at the same time i am (form wise, mentality, ect.).......but i can't complain because i had the ability to train today, which some people dont.......

there's something about having a good amount of weight being suspended above your head that brings a smile to my face

[eblnyc]

well i guess were not slacking off after all..very nice day oversized wides...i still got my eye on you..lol

[Malloy1344]

now thats a gut wrenching day.....snatches, cleans, jerks and squats.....your body is gonna feel that shit tommorow. Fuckin awesome.

[Big Wides]

well i guess were not slacking off after all..very nice day oversized wides...i still got my eye on you..lol

haha, that would be some sight to turn that into a dance, thanks for the kind words, i just keep pushing the weight for as high as i can go in the session, not only for muscle growth but because there is always someone out there who can take these weights and use them as a toothpick.....

Maybe the Birds can take some of your intensity and use it in their game this weekend :)

I can compare the Birds to the characters in the Wizard of Oz.....all of those traits that the characters are missing, so are the Birds

I was begining to understand that feeling..it sure took a toll on my wrists though. My wrists are just almost back to normal! I had to take a break cause the snatch move was very new to me and of course I wanted to fling some weight...sure is harder than it looks!

This is a truly solid day Big W...I really like this wo. Later on..I may dabble a bit in powertraining again cause I seriously liked it.

thanks Toni, when i was warming up first with the snatches i was going slow to see if my body remembered how to do them, it felt weird as anything since i was taking it off the rack and couldnt get my hands wide enough on the bar, but when i moved to the 135 set which i did full, the damn weight flew up like nothing and nearlly went behind my head. needless to say i calmed down after that. now i remembered why i used to do these workouts as a pre-season lifting schedule by the way i feel now.....but its a good feel

[Big Wides]

chest today @ 530ish:

floor press - 7 sets, 335x3 on last set
decline bench - 135x10, 225x8, 275x7, 315x6
flies - 3x12
hs bench - 2x20

short and sweet, wanted to do some board presses of a 3 board however couldnt find the boards.....knowing me i probably put them somewhere so i could find them. the decline felt weird but it always does can never find a good groove on the thing.....the flies and hs bench were to flush and stretch the pecs out, focused more on contraction than anything else

thanks bro, my tris were fried from the floor press on Friday so i just wanted to get some blood flowing into the region, i forgot how much the tris are involved in with that movement

Yes..but Big W is powerful everything! Great work...as always!

thanks Toni, keep the intensity and the weights high and sure enough something has to respond to it. i also think that my increase in food (i still follow the pointers you sent me back in Aug) has helped me greatly not only add some size but fuels my sessions better, more energy and all......plus ive gotta keep up with what your doing as well which would kick my ass any day of the week

G does 22 pies for 6 on the leg press, The 'Naut does 7. G does 50 reps on Hacks, Wides does 55.

The Mission: Follow the leader. The Objective: Get him in the crosshairs and take him down. Among even my allies, I'm a marked man.

That kind of standard setting with each individual doing their best to raise the bar leads to special training. Peace, G

[Malloy1344]

Sick fucking workout brother. You all really killed it. I can't imagine 55 reps on Hack Squats, that sounds terrible. Great work. Too bad the normal cast of characters wasn't availabel for entertainment. I had the 1/8 rep master to watch last night while I was doing cardio. This skinny dude like 175 maybe, doing "preachers" with 100lb EZ bar. It looked like he was having a seizure in the seated bouncin the bar for a MAYBE 2 inch ROM.....lol....LA Fitness makes cardio more enjoyable atleast....I have entertainment.

**Nothing wrong with this man, it's nothing personal but not thinking we are competitive?... now that would be blindness... On that note, I won't be happy till I can move what you do on pulldowns. I'm glad I did hit the 50 reps on the reverse hacks but I have to be honest here... I don't know how many I did: I was that HIGH on it.... mark this night as one of our best! (and one to outdo)

You 3 set the bar high and each of you strives to beat the last guys mark. That is what makes this shit so incredible.

I consider just the shear magnitude that I can even hang with you and Juggernaut espically with the weights that are set up with each exercise. if you would have told me back in August that these types of numbers were going to be accomplished in November, you would have gotten a dumbfounded look.....this type of training is def. working for all three of us, since size and strength are being put on.....not to mention the nice looks we get from all others of "Quick, hide the pies, they're here"

Juggernaut said a similar thing to me last year only a few months into "The Iron Mutant Experiment" when people were telling him he looked the biggest he ever has and when his strength just kept climbing. My response? Wait and see where you'll be a year or two from now... Same goes for you brother. Just imagine where you'll be in a couple of years. The sky's the limit. Peace, G

i think the music just pisses me off more than anything that it fires me up, almost to the point of pondering why they even came out with the shit in the first place......i would be fine if they played music that was deemed unfit for society there, then again its probably a good thing.....thanks bro

there is something about doing legs to Barbie's Greatest Hits being played in the gym.....sparks a fire in the belly. but to my dismay the normal cast of cartoon characters were not present last night, but there was not a dry eye in the place after each of us did our set of hacks, which just absoultly blows the mind away, it was more about mental toughness than physical....i plan on eating whatever i can get my hands on and if its nailed down, whatever the bastard is nailed to is going down the hatch.......

I feel you on the fire bro, I was hanging out at McDonalds today after practice with some of the d-lineman who were busy pounding down burger after burger, and this guy who claimed to be a powerlifter started to sort of "advertise" himself. He was bragging about how much he benches and how strong the people he trains are, and giving out stupid advice such as pressing off pins in the smith machine, doing handstand pushups before bed, running 15 miles a day to get stronger, and swimming to make your arms longer. When I was about to leave, he told me that I bench like a bitch and all that trashtalk. Needless to say I had one of the best bench sessions to date today.

prime example there of how someone can turn the negative energy of some self proclaimed Profit of the Iron and turining it into positive energy in the gym.....that is what this is all about, finding the positives in the negatives

short and right to the point with that chest session..great work oversized wides...

thanks eblnyc, simplicity seems to be working, i think ive gotta concentrate more on the fly movement.....try to get an overall build which will hopefully carry over to the pressing

[Toni69]

Interesting what you said about flys. Im not stressing so much on pushing heavy weight on flatbench right now, as long as I get controlled reps with the 135. Im definitely more comfortable on incline db presses, incline barbell and incline flys. I can get 10 reps on a good day with 40's on incline flys. So Im what I am wondering is, are my incline presses strong because my incline flys are so strong? I guess I never actually thought the science out you know? I just figure my incline is stronger than my flat..maybe not in pounds per se, but as far as my comfort with 135 on the incline as opposed to 175 on flat bench, I feel I have better power and control on the incline poresses than I do the flat bench. Did that make any sense at all? LOL

hmmmm.....you do make some soild arguments there Toni that support what I said, I personally feel that the more muscle fibers that can be recruited or isolated the more the overall muscle will develop. Also, why I think that the flies will help with overall strength is that it is a weighted stretch for the muscle and strectching helps the muscle recover better and allows more nutrients into the fibers. I have only come to these conclusions based on how I've trained in the past, judging my progress when I included flies in my routines and when I did not.....so it was kind of a demented field study. I do not see myself taking flies out of the picture anytime soon, but maybe adding different aspects of training to them.,....

[Lowdown5]

BW,

Don't know if you have ever read anything by Steve Holman from Ironman, but his testing supports what you are saying. He has found that the greatest muscle growth and strength increases are achieved when a muscle is worked through 3 stages, stretch, contracted and midrange. For upper chest he recommends that you do the following

Upper chest
Midrange: Incline barbell presses, incline dumbbell presses
or Smith machine incline presses

Stretch & Contracted: Incline flyes

This works the muscle through all 3 positions.

Thanks for the kind words LD, the 125 was a struggle, as for Steve Holman I have not read anything by him, but from what you posted about what he said, it not only backs up my training but adds some comfort that I am not pissing into the wind with my hairbrained ideas on my chest workouts......

Agreed my chest did not start completing until I "CONSISTENTLY" DID FLYS...Everybody is diffrent though I know guys who dont do them and have that complete look. One of the things that I have always heard is if you can fly what you press your chest will blow up..

Nice shoulder day 125 is a milestone bro even though it took you three hours to put it up...lol...

[Toni69]

I have always loved incline anything really. I just showed this dude the other day to do incline flys and he was shocked. He never knew about them and when he tried them he was like holy shit! Too funny really. But your right, his chest was really wide cause of all the bench pressing he does, along with decline bench, but he lagged thickness in the upper pecs. I love bench press cause for me, its a strength issue more than a sculpting my chest issue. I use incline presses and flys as my main sculpting/building exercises. I love that fullness in the upper chest area, especially on men!

I do use pec dec and cables for isolations along with db decline presses. For me, chest being one of my strengths, I dont want it overpowering my look...but I do love training chest from all angles.

Likewise, when I was younger I was an idiot. My form was horrid and I'm lucky I didn't get injured. Now I train smart...when something doesn't feel right, don't push it. There is always a safer substitute.

wheels were tourtured on turkey day oversized wides..looking strong down there..

thanks eblnyc, had to do them right, wanted to kill the legs before i ate the legs.....they are feeling damn good today

sick leg workout man, impressive squats especially after being pre exhausted from the other exercises

thanks bro, just taking it one day at a time and one set at a time and i will get to where i need to be

well..same for me..only person there for 2 hrs. 5am this morning was almost scary cause all the lights were off so I had to try and find which light went to what..all I can say is I switched on/off some shit..LOL

You and me...we need a leg day together..I can even demonstrate your favorite exercise for you...:)...hahahaha!

I can just see my clumsy self doing Toni's Booty/Hamstring exercise....knowing my luck i would end up on the floor or tangled up in the machine somehow.....it would be fun leg day though

thanks homer.......i find that training legs is just like training any other part, there is more pain involved but there is more potential for growth as well, there is nothing like doing them correctly and getting wide eyed looks from those around you

thanks krazy, it was a listen to your body day for me on the bench, the 385 felt heavy so i did not attempt to go any higher.....gotta train smart, its the key to longevity in training.

confusion of a muscle is never a good thing but once you kick it in the ass, it will get growing again.....time is our allie on this

Well done once again BW!
