Life is a one time deal. Raging from time to time is necessary. In healthy doses it does your mind good.

Think of it like this:
Freshman year of college, 20 years old, Last week before exams (the sluttiest week of the year), Wouldn't you party!?

Also I'm working at a fitness camp for 8 weeks this summer. Lifting and running everyday on a strict diet. Factor in the other month I have at home before it doing nothing but eating, sleeping, & lifting.

Yeah I'm 205 with abs Shizz. You should be proud that your training advice and motivation played a part in getting me here.

The volume and arms days are working. I'm starting to get the beginnings of bicep stretch marks. That's how fast they're growing. Back & Biceps and Chest & Triceps does not quite measure up to a guns day.

I'm going to get a few pictures up a couple days after I get back from college.

As for competing, I just got a job working at an overnight camp at the base of the Appalachian trail. I'll be teaching either lacrosse or baseball all summer and working every morning at 5am. Should be hardcore but it will prevent me from competing this summer. Assuming I don't sustain any major injuries during this coming rugby season I will probably try and compete summer 2011.

Glad to have you aboard big man!

Solid chest work, Mike! I've never tried underhand bench press -- maybe that's one of the things I can experiment with once I'm done with this show.

An article on simplyshredded*com said a scientific study found that during an incline bb bench press (with a regular grip) there was only a 5% more activation of the upper chest than flat bb bench press in the subjects.

With Incline Underhand Bench Press and the same subjects the upper chest activation was 30% higher than a regular gripped flat bb bench press. Thats 25% more work!

For about a month and half I was benching underhand flat and incline full time because I broke my scaphoid at rugby. Didn't get a cast. Yes its still fucked after 3 months but oh well. Cool results from the change in bench were - even bigger upper chest, upper inner chest filled in, and my regular overhand bench press #s shot up 20lbs.

So yes. Experiment with underhand. lol.

Not working out for a few more days. Just had an epic abcess in my throat drained and the doc is convinced I'm going to have mono. This is a tragedy.

05-12-10, 10:03 am
Abcess drained again yesterday. They got more puss. Percocets are debilitating so I'm going without them and putting in an easy lift. I can't train too hard because the doctors still think that I won't test positive for mono until another week from now or so.

MojoMike36
05-12-10, 3:06 pm
Its been over 9 days since I've lifted. I'm kinda healthy. May or may not have mono. I've been negative on 4 tests but the docs are convinced my abcess is only a precurser to mono. Either way I ain't slowing down brothers.

My first workout back at Gold's Gym. I gained roughly 8lbs of solid muscle this semester. Few of the regulars there damn near shit their pants when I came in. I'm still vascular and cut after 9 days of no exercise and terrible eating. Once i dial my diet back into less than 60g of carbs a day I'm going to be shredding up real quick again.

yeah after the abcess in my throat and the pain/agony i was in mono seems pretty acceptable. My doc thinks im insane working out but she said there was no real repercussions if I had mono besides getting better slower.

The cable weights are extremely different from the ones at school. I can skull the whole stack at school. The whole stack (95) is definitely around 190. Theres a sticker on it that says the actual weight is double the resistance but doing the math blows so I'll report as is.

The doc has me on a hyooooge dosage of Prednisone (steroids) 140mg a day + Avelox for my throat. If I'm still sick I have no way of knowing.

While nature usually entails hanging out with mary jane that particular time. That being said I'm done with MJ for the next 12 weeks for work and for BBing purposes. Trying to shred up with a low carb diet with only minimal cardio to prevent muscle loss.

that's a pretty solid workout big guy! What kind of diet u goin on to match?

Roughly 100g of carbs or less a day. Usually less.

Consists mainly around: Salad w/chicken, 6 egg whites twice a day, protein shake with 4 strawberries, & steak


Those are some crazy sets and volume! Well done! Growing, eh? What's your goal?

Keep in mind i do a balls to the wall 25 minute hilly bike ride to and from the gym on top of that crazy volume. When I walk into the gym my shirt is soaked through. The rush of endorphins makes me workout so hard. Working up to heavy weight slowly through high volume has yielded some serious gains for me.

Damn -- all that on 100g of carbs? My hat's off to you!

(Mind you, I'm down to 50g right now . . .)

If you only knew the pace I lift at hahaha.

100g is my maximum when I feel like I need it. Usually i settle for 50ish grams.

Honestly though, the low carb thing is less of a tactic to lose weight and more of a necessity. I'm a meso with a very endo-ish metabolism that can't handle high protein and average carbs.

Wow! Great looking work!

I know what you mean about carb levels. Back in the first Iron Contest, Rage tried to ramp me up to 300g of carbs a day, and I put on fat like nobody's business. I'm comfortable at 100-150, and doing okay at 50, as long as I remember to get my protein in on schedule.

Mind you, at 56, my metabolism's probably a bit more beat up than yours <wince>.

Carb sensitivity blows so hard. Its like we get jipped out of the gains carbs yield. In the past I could get away with 200g of carbs for sitting at one weight but I had to up cut protein and at the time I was doing tons of running everyday.

I gotta admire your commitment. You're at a phase of life where most folks give up and eat whatever they want assuming it won't kill them. Life and death is the only thing stopping most people from eating strictly and exercising. PROPS.
