Just got back from the gym after hitting back. I'm sippin' on some Torrent right now as I'm watching my Giants run house on the 'skins again. Lighter overall volume today for back, but I focused on a good contraction and had a great workout. Here we go ...
Shock Therapy + Nitro pre workout
Chins - 4 x 8-10
Lat Pulldown - 3 x 7-12 (175 x 7)
Underhand Machine Rows - 3 x 8-12 (3p x 8)
Rack Deadlifts - 4 x 10 (405 x 10)
Close Grip pulldown - 2 x 8-10
Back extensions - 10 reps, up the weight, 10 reps, up the weight, 10 reps (30 reps total)
Strength is getting back up to its high point. Did 405 for 6 two weeks ago with racks. Threw on an old-school jam that pumped me the fuck up (Underoath - Innocence Stolen). For a while I'm going to concentrating on two things for back. More back thickness, and I have to improve on my lower lats.
Still trying to get back to my normal numbers. It's getting close. Last couple workouts went really well. 90's for 5 on shoulder press were an all-time high. 405 x 10 is another all time high. Too bad my shoulders and back are my strong points to my body. If I can only get record numbers for my chest and biceps ... Anyways, the numbers are going up nicely. ..........

This week is the first full week going at my legit split. Tonight is Chest/Biceps. I'm thinking about throwing in some guillotine presses on the smith machine. I caught a thread about that movement on here and it seemed like it might be something that would help my chest growth. I'll bang out incline flyes, incline bench and then do a few sets of guillotines before finishing off my chest with dips. We'll see how it goes ....
Weight as of Wednesday morning was 203. Weight on Friday during my workout was 206 after good eating on Thanksgiving. Weight is steadily climbing at about 1-2lbs/week. I'm not soo concerned about my weight. I'm as strong, if not stronger than I was at 214 so that's great. Things are going well ...

Solid work, 405x10 on rack deads means you got a 500 pull in your future... Good things in here brother. You got a date circled in red on the calendar for fall 09 yet?

I don't have a date circled in red yet, but I plan on competing in the 2009 Gold's Classic in Long Branch, NJ, which is a 20min ride for me. I figure it'd be a nice way to ease into my competing phase with a venue nice and close to my home. I can't seem to find the 2009 schedule yet, but this past year's Gold's Classic was on Nov 8th, so I'm assuming its going to be around the same time.

So since I started my bulk back on the 3rd of November, I've been through numerous workout splits. I went with DC training for 2.5 weeks, then I tried to straighten everything out so that I can get on a legit split that was starting Monday (last night). Well once again my split will be changed slightly, but this time its for the right reasons. After my workout last night I was able to recruit a training partner. He's the guy who competed in the Eastern USA's and did very well. We're hitting back tonight. It's bittersweet. I'm pumped to train with such a monster of a dude, but at the same time, I trained back on Sunday. In the end, I'd rather hit back tonight with him and get onto his schedule. So it's gonna get real wild soon.

Just recently reloaded on my supplements. Its a shit-ton more than I used to taking, but it seems to be doing the job. Shock Therapy is my savior. After a long day at the office, this shit kicks me in the ass and gets me going. I'll give another breakdown of my supplements here. I added in a few ...
Animal Pak
Animal Omega
Animal Flex
Animal Nitro
Real Gains
Torrent
EAA Stack
Shock Therapy
Storm
Intra-Aid
Milk&Egg Protein
Natural Sterol Complex
----------------
That was last month's stack. I picked up some Beta Ala9 and M-Stak. I'll start the M-stak next Monday.
- Storm is only taken on off days, first thing in the morning
- 2 servings of EAA stack/day. First thing in the morning, and another serving in my gallon of water once it's about 1/4 full.
- Milk and Egg protein at night on non-training days ONLY
- Pak and Omega every morning. Flex every night.
May seem like a lot, but I'm not using EVERYTHING on a daily basis. Everything serves their own unique purpose.
Been pounding the food. Thanksgiving weekend was a little inconsistent, but I'm back on track. Breakfast is now 1cup brown rice + 5 whole eggs w/ glass of milk and 2 tbsp PB. Lunches are still the same and dinners are free range.

Haha that is a lot of shit - i'm starting M-stak and Isostak as soon as I finish my cans of stak and test. I think i'm gonna run two cans of m-stak back to back.

Yeah I feel like everything is essential though. I have yet to dabble into the Staks/Tests/M-Staks until now. How was the stak and test? I saw your numbers shoot up on your journey so I guess it went well. I'm looking forward to adding in this M-Stak ...
