Beast "Speedy" Genetic's journey of my lifetime! [Archive]

02-11-09, 6:04 pm

Here we go Ill start by writing I'm 27 but I am a baby to the sport and unbreaking over ten years of bad benching technique was quite interesting. Im still far from perfect form and technique but leaps and bounds over where I started roughly six months ago. A new Officer " Eric Big Eze Downey" started working at the facility where I am a Lieutenant. I found out he was into the sport and I always found it to be very interesting and hardcore to say the least. He invited me to go train with them one saturday, I went, and have been hooked ever since.

I have always been a big strong kid just naturally growing up, but nothing could prepare to discover how weak I actually was. To start it just so happens the people we train with besides Eric Downey include: Jesse Kellum,A.J Schroeder, Frank Caminita, and others. Not sure how many of those names you know but I assure you there all monsters (I learned my place quickly). So this is going to be a journal of the very humble beginings of a noob powerlifter.

The progress I have made in the past 6 months include considerable strength gains, I competed in a small meet in Pascagoula,MS in November with a missed 425lb., green light 430lb., and missed 465lb. bench. Not bad for my first meet (at least thats what I think). I have been training but finally set aside the time to make this journal for me to keep track and hopefully help others and get advice.

Started the day off with the usual two packets of oatmeal, animal pak, protein shake, and 1 serving of results.

Warm ups- just some light DB's flat bench to warm up after a good stretch and front shoulder raise warm ups with 10 lb. plates. nothing to go to in depth about.

Raw warm up's Barbell-
135x 10 for speed but form is never compromised, controlled to the chest, pressed for speed. No bounce off the chest all brought down to slight pause then pressed.
215x 8
305x 5
365x 1 all went up easy good warm up.

Shirted (single ply Katana) loose shirt day-
425x 2 off two board (easy)
450x 1 off two board (easy)
475x1 off two board (moderate)
475x1 off one board (moderate good grind at the top)
500x1 off two board (hard but fairly quick grind at the top) Personal 2 brd best
500x1 off one board (hard) hit to high lost it at the top (couldnt lock out), Had to leave for work, but I feel really confident if I hit lower on the second try I could have gotten it, it felt really good. Great workout I love gettin a new personal best out of it.

02-11-09, 6:05 pm

Took a few days off, back to the grind. First things first I suppose diet wise, Every Morning I begin with 2 packets of oatmeal, protein shake, and an animal pak. Every two to three hours after that (five at the longest) I eat 10 oz. of either chicken or lean beef, with a cup of either green beans or spinach, and the snack of an apple in between a few meals. For dinner when I get home from work I eat 10 egg whites and an apple. Of course after training I drink another protein shake and one dose of results prior to training. I started this diet at 295 lbs. at about 20% BF. My goal is to lean up, keep strength, and put on more lean muscle. (weight is not a factor just BF) So my training partner (who is also a certified personal trainer) put me on this lowfat high protein diet with my set goals in mind.

I plan to compete in a few meets this year with the animals that train me however for the time being bench only, The gym I train at during the week does not have DL or Squat capabilities but it has everthing else and I work second shift 1330-2130 the crew I bench with saturday mornings train in the afternoons the whole week while I am working. I still do legs but its not worth logging here. And of coure I do everthing back but the DL (dont worry I am fully aware of how crappy a situation that is but im stuck for now bench only meets). BTW today was Back and Tri's for me nothing special.

Post work out
Protein Shake, 10 ounces of chicken, and a cup of spinach.

Meals
every two to three hours 10 ounces of chicken along with the spinach was consumed. Dinner at home consisted of 10 egg whites and a protein shake before bed. GREAT DAY. Tomorrow is crazy heavy back routine, legs were on monday.

Beast Genetics

02-28-09, 5:45 pm

I've got to be honest with myself here. the night before this workout I was so bucked up I barely slept, its in me now. More than it ever was before. My eating is spot on time, my supplement arsenal is right on time, like clockwork in the morning in the kitchen before the alarm clock goes off with my shaker cup, Animal test/pak, oatmeal, and bottle of water. Ive noticed my mentality has changed totally. My body and what goes in it is being treated more like a Battle Ship as opposed to the luxury cruiser most average lazy ass people float around in. I feel superior......genetically, physically, and mentally to the mushy or boney people I walk past in the grocery store, not saying I believe im a better person thats not the case at all. Its more like a (if THE SHIT popped off tomorrow) who would survive? If this comes across as arrogant or pompous that is certainly not my intention, this is purely where im at mentally in my training cycle and its getting worse-beast

Hey bro, thanks for swinging by my journey. I totally understand where you are coming from. I too am starting to feel like the gym is becoming a groove for me. The diet is coming around but needs more consistency. I know what needs to be done but doing it is different. Great work on the first meet and I am subbed in and with you each lift.

Here we go, supps and timing are all the same.

Warm ups consisted of stretching, DB curls, and light barbell reps:

345x3
345x3

These were all relatively easy, this was more of a stamina session. We were not tryin to max, just a heavy weight that made us work for it. I had to leave to go to work but my crew finished up with weighted pushups in the smith machine.

Beast Genetics

03-10-09, 7:45 pm

In between the 405 and 365 for reps we did 3 sets of negatives with 455. For those who arent familiar with it, its essentially Maximum Effort Failure. The spotter unracks it you bring the weight down as slow as possible to the chest with a long pause and your spotter helps just enough to get the weight moving to the top. Quite humbling purposely getting buried. GREAT WORKOUT!!

Beast Genetics

03-17-09, 5:08 pm

Thanks bro, the pull ups were weight assisted but I'm good for three or four no assisting which is still pretty damn good I think, Yeah bro a Shirt is the next step, it's a totally different animal.

Took a little Vacation (don't worry I had Protein water and Mass amounts of push ups every other day) That can't replace the training I missed but it was better than nothing. The Biggest Bench On The River is a week and a half away!! Maybe the rest will help *Fingers Crossed* because before I left I was having some bone pain in the arms that has gone away.

I tried to use my new 2ply Super Katana-

500x1 two boards
500x1 one board (UGLY) need more work with that shirt but it was worth a try.

The old trusty Single Ply Katana-

500x1 one board- Blew it up
500x1 Half board- Blew it up

I figure I'll open at 500 and move up from there. 500 should be easy as long as I keep my head out of my a$$. 550 is certainly attainable as well, then I will decide from there where I'll go for the 3rd lift. I feel I have made excellent progress since my last bench meet in Nov. 08' where my best was a 430 equipped and since then I have gotten to 425 raw thanks in part to a great team and Eric "Big Ezy" Downey who took me under his wing.- Speedy

Well Well boys, I was the only one in my weight division so obviously I won that but I had the second highest overall bench in the open division with a 520lb. bench, that's a 90lb. meet PR from my last meey in Nov. just 6 months ago. Awesome day, opened 500-good 520-good 540-miss I was done on my 3rd attempt. It's an outdoor meet it was 90 Degrees and the crowd was so hyped up it made your adrenaline dump. With all those in play it's very taxing on the muscles, but I fucking loved it man, I belong on stage that's my home. I will have my videos up some time this morning. Oh yeah the best part the trophy is a 3 1/2 foot 300 style broad sword,so bad ass!!!!

Beast Genetics

05-10-09, 10:07 am

Side note- My team did well, Eric "Big Ezy" Downey (my coach) looked crazy strong as usual, it just caught some hell with his shirt but was more than strong enough to finish close to 700 it just wasn't in the cards, Big props to him cause he is the reason I got into the sport and a direct contributer to my success.

Jesse Kellum (my assistant coach)lol- He finished 2nd in the pro division with a 820lb. bench at 215lb. body weight. I owe alot to him as well

Phillip Muranto- Finished in the pro division with a 680lb. bench at I believe somewhere around 220ish Bodyweight.

And too many to mention in the rest of the crew that finished well and got trophies. Great day for our team

Took a small break, about four days before the Meet my pregnant wife developed complications and will be on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy which is 5 more months. So I took a couple of weeks off the gym to take care of her and formulate a plan to get someone to watch our other two children, and care for her while I train and work. I made it happen!! Dedication is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.

No meets for a few month's so the journal will shift gears from primary bench to everything as I make the transition to compete in a full meet in the near future. It will include "back to basics" type Benching, off the Chain crazy summer evenings of tire flipping, sled pushing and dragging, and pushing trucks. Squat days that sprays vommit out the nose and mouth and more!!!!

Stay tuned!!

We (my coaches and I) are not worried about weight just yet, My form needs to be fine tuned and leg stamina needs to be built up. The last 315x1 rep flew up so fast the bar actually came off my back about an inch, so my power is obviously still there, I just need to keep digging, relearn my form, and get my leg muscle stamina up. I will never let fear of injury control my life again, and I will also closely monitor the clicking in my knee to make sure it doesn't get worse during my training.

What type of sled are you pulling? I made one out of an old tire.

I hear you about relearning proper form. I decided lifting 135 with perfect form was better and more long term useful then heaving up 315 any way possible. How often do you incorporate your outside training with regular training?

First and foremost, I know my workouts have been alot of bench/chest lately but my life was crazy for about a month there and if I had to pick one thing to focus on it would be my benching so the rest had to suffer. With that said my schedule has cleared and I am back to full time training. Chest today to get back on my split and Legs will be tomorrow followed by back and shoulders Thursday. Look out!!!!!!!

Warm up's were a good stretch and some light Smith Machine benching

Just curious..why do you bench with your feet up? What does this add to the movement?

Just curious..why do you bench with your feet up? What does this add to the movement?

Having your feet up takes away the leg drive you get while benching and takes away the balance and stability you have with your legs being on the ground. Think of your legs as those rocker arms that extend off of some sail boats to keep them from tipping over. Benching with your feet up put's more of the weight on the press itself and forces you to use more secondary/stabilizer muscles to balance the weight your legs normally help with.

Truly a great workout. Repping 315 with feet up too.

Best of luck in the coming meet. Make the competition cry.

Not sure how to explain what our coach made us do here. Here it goes, We have long gymnast parallel bars in our gym. We hung from that up side down with our legs hung over the bars and pulled our BW up to the bar.

4 sets of 20 don't knock it till you try it right after some heavy rows, the first few reps felt like nothing like a waste of time. Reps 8 on up felt like my forearms and biceps were internally bleeding, very taxing.
