It's funny but the DR. also prescribed POPTARTS. I doubt gummi bears will be a problem with this feel-better diet as well. I rarely get sick, so I should not complain but this one took Juggs down to the mat. I might be seeing some light and hope to be back by this Thursday at work.

Just gotta keep strong now and maybe get stronger. Not counting my chickens too soon but if I could put up a 385 close grip bench I think I can bench normaly fairly well. I'm thrilled about my back but still have to keep an eye on it and not get sloppy. You will be fine LM, all we have to worry about is getting bigger than the last year, if you have done that...you are in good shape.

JUGGERNAUT
02-16-09, 12:56 pm
why do you think the bar would help your back?
A Texas bar has a lot more flexibility than a standard Olympic bar and gives more when you pull it so it's not like the dead weight and no flex from a standard gym bar. It takes the stress off the back a good 2 inches before you really start getting it off the floor. You will see what I mean when you use it. The bar is a foot longer, with more room for plates as well. Another highlight is that it has knurling in the center too so if you are going sumo style and have your hands real close to the center, the knurling is there. There will be one at the ANIMAL cage too.

you got some GRIP bro! 525 w/o straps...
It's all from never using straps...go figure... I do use an over/under grip though...can't imagine ever doing anything different though anyway.

Good deal. I should be good to go then.
Side note: I need to use straps a little less in training in the future to build some serious grip strength. Reading that talkin here is a reminder of that.

I just recently started wearing a belt for everything at the recommendation of The House. I did read an artlicle somewhere and in it Flex Lewis was advocating doing heavy rack deads without a belt. So maybe you are onto something.

The only reason I did not is because when I close my lever belt, it straightens my back into a postion that hurts it from my injury. I would always use one anytime there is severe pressure build up from the heavy shit.. Belts lessen internal organ rupture/hernia more than protecting your back. Belt or not... you can pull your back and be fed up.... Strong abs and strong lower back training are a must!

I will be far stronger and far bigger compared to last year. So much, I wonder what 2010 will bring....
I'm not even entertaining a diet phase in the near future.
I should be 225-230lbs in the cage this year. Lots of eating/training to do!
Still great to come home after the Arnold, charged by all there that make us feel small and weak matter what we do...it's a never ending battle but keeps our irons in the fire for more fight!

Nautilus Ab Machine - ?? setsx12 reps
Picture this….a packed cluster fuck of people, parking lot beyond capacity. More benching going on than anyone cares to see. Wides and I have just left the squat racks pissed to death over a sub-par night of squats. Time to hit the abs before we jump back into arm training.
We are both side by side in similar ab crunch machines and into it for about 4-5 sets. Doing reps, taking a brief 10 second pause between sets. All of a sudden we are blessed with a looming presence standing menacing close about 3 feet away. Nostrils flaring, piercing eyes staring through us like we have both committed some awful crime. Confused by this happening we try not to take notice and do our thing.
The savage creature then swoops down upon me as to single me out and with the most sarcastic tone says “Just how many sets do you have left?????” I raise my head to challenge this force of nature and what do I see standing in front of me? A 60-70 year old women in black sweats snarling, growling and looking at me like she was the only human on the planet that needed to work her abs on my time with two, yes two open machines right next to mine!!
All I could muster up for an answer was “Just a few more….Well, you may have thought I had just run down her cat with my car. Mind you at this point Wides is just blown away by this whole mess and is amazed at my composure (why not it’s somebody's Grandmother ripping me a new ass haha) She then (with an amazingly enough, even harsher tone) “Well why can’t I just do my set while you are resting?? (I had to take a deep breath thinking to myself about how long this “rest” was). Yeah, all of 10 seconds, two free machines next to me, not hogging my own machine, minding my own business.
I stood up, called her rude and let her do her set. While she is doing her set, she is still yelling, I’m not rude; I am leaving the same weight on the machine. I just walked away wishing her son would walk over and give me a hard time for upsetting his mother so I could drag his ass into the parking lot and beat him for having such an obnoxious family.

120 on flyes? Very nice J. I like your style.
nonono is was this weird seated cable machine looking thing, that was plate loaded but it had an incredible amount of tension for a seemingly low weight of 120lbs.... I'll let you know when I do 120 DB's but never did that on flys yet. Generally use 90lb DB's on the incline postion.

lol "a night of weakness" can't be used in a workout where someone pushes 385lbs off his chest.
great work J.

You SUN know what I mean completly. Nothing is worst than doing something months ago (my case doing 405) and then not being able to lock it out months later after busting your ass in the gym. I'm thinking I should be doing 410-415-420ish.....by now!

Give it few weeks and you're at 410.
You remember I'm still recovering from a serious shoulder inflammation, and my bench is only at 190 for 5 right now. I was already at 205, that is very close to 225 and 2pps.
That's more frustrating.

Agreed and we will all fight till we get where we want to be and then break that barrier too.

Do you mean out of the foil wrapper or through the box and foil? I need to know because the last time I chewed through the box I got a paper cut on my gums and that really smarts.

Yep, hunger IS a feeling!! haha Great work by the way. Can't wait to read about all the contest results from the Cage!

I figure even if we don't hit our planned max we are just going to pick a real heavy weight and keep benching it until they close the Arnold on Sunday at 4PM haha
that's lots of heavy things moving.
good work J.
Keep on goose-walking :)

I was looking around a different bodybuilding site and the subject of Pop Tarts came up. Naturally, I though of you.
The people over there ate them as part of a PWO meal/shake. Is this how you do it? Works for simple carbs?

Actually I have a much less organized approach, I eat them whenever with whatever. I get the ones with fiber because I need that. It's def a sugar rush so PWO it's great on top of other stuff. You can also use them to spike insulin to make anything a bulking meal.

Good to know. I never really thought about it in these terms before. Puts a smile on my face though. Due to some old bread turning green at my place and me forgetting to buy more, I am down a meal today. So it looks like I am making a meal out of a cup of yogurt, powerade and the strawberry Poptarts that are calling my name from the vending machine.

Sounds good, AMERICA has no lack of food but when you are in a place with odd things you still have to make the most of it and eat anyway. My combos could break records in odd haha

Yah, those of us not lucky enough to attend are waiting to hear your results!
Yo Juggs it was a pleasure meeting you at the Cage man. I'm sure you got some great shots too looked like you were really busy with that.
Didn't get a chance to talk to Wides he seems like a man of few words haha...but good luck with your training until we meet next time! - Big C
I heard you represented big time Juggs. You and Wides threw down one for the ages. Both of you deserve a pop tart.
