[gman]

Awesome work and a good diet day.

What's the macros on that food intake?

I hired Dave for an offseason program and he put me on a contest diet. No fair! lol

[BEAST MODE]

Good training! Do you focus more on the contractions than the weight when you're working bis? It looks like we use about the same weight on those exercises, and that's what I do.

[Bacon Boy]

With bi's i do, I always get weird looks, but I find when I use super heavy weight I end up feeling it in my front delts, and not the bi's.

[gman]

I go pretty light as well, it's more important to work the right muscle than to impress other people!

[BEAST MODE]

I couldn't care less what other people think of me in the gym. I just try to focus as much as possible on getting a good contraction on every rep.

Notes on supps

Waking up from Melontonin dreaming to answer the phone and it turns out to be a drunken booty call message, is never a good idea if the girl calling is fat and or unattractive, sigh:(

[Bacon Boy]

After looking and reading over what Milos has started to say about insulin secretion/supplementation during training got me thinking that the biggest pump I have ever gotten occurred when I took BSN's volumaize I bruised, and ripped my skin several times. the biggest thing doing the work isn't aminos but the waxy maize releasing insulin which would cause all the nutrients around floating into the muscles that are being trained.

Novel Idea Mr. Sarcev and I tried it out, and I will ellaborate on this later!

[BEAST MODE]

Good training BB! When you took the Volumaize, were you using it preworkout? I currently use ON's waxy maize but I put it in my post workout shake.

[Bacon Boy]

I used like you supposed to during the training, I am a huge fan of any carbo supplement except vitargo (I am only using it to get rid of it)

why arnt you juggernaut larue anymore? hah! lol just playin bro. keep killin it!

Fucking MD pissed the juggernaut off, and my family, friends, and random people at school have started calling me Bacon Boy because at the time I was putting away 6,000 cals a day, and I also hate the texture of pork, and it always seems to upset my stomach, so my family contends that since I eat like a piggy, and I don't other piggys I must be a bacon boy!

[BEAST MODE]

Good training. I hate when the leg press can't fit any more plates! Our big sled is currently broken so I'm forced to use the smaller one which only holds 7 plates. So I'm doing high reps and FST-7 a lot.

[Bacon Boy]

Well i liked FST-7 and I mainly the no rest/break mentality, my buddy is freakishly strong, he's more of a power lifter in a bodybuilders body though, he gets to talking to people I timed him, i had done the leg curls and the stiffys, he hadn't stopped talking in the 10 mins it took me to do all that...

Don't even get me started on the "talkers" man...I'll go off. In short, that's why I lift at 5 am. Helps me avoid all the anger caused by people wasting space in the gym.

Good shoulder work! You shruged 100s for 35 reps? That's awesome bro!

[gman]

I am impressed by the bb front raises at 95 too!

[Bacon Boy]

richwa Good shoulder work! You shruged 100s for 35 reps? That's awesome bro!

Thanks man I have always have had ridiculously strong traps, just genetics

This was me during offseason in 08'





gman: I am impressed by the bb front raises at 95 too! Yeah in all honesty I swung forward the last 4 reps (these are the charles glass style ones, that kai green does) and had the wrist straps tight!



Thanks for the compliments guys!

[BEAST MODE]

That's a shit ton of weight for shrugs man. I thought mine were strong in off-season mode. I was shrugging 405 for reps and I think 375 reverse shrugs. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? Did I already ask that?

[gman]

next thing you know, you'll ask him what he benches!

[BEAST MODE]

Haha, yep! I remember in high school that's all people would ask if they knew you worked out.

richwa That's a shit ton of weight for shrugs man. I thought mine were strong in off-season mode. I was shrugging 405 for reps and I think 375 reverse shrugs. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? Did I already ask that?

I am 5'8.5", hit the scale at 202. Rich that is a lot for reverse shrugs though bro, I normally hit 315 tops for the reverse.

gman: next thing you know, you'll ask him what he benches!

richwa: Haha, yep! I remember in high school that's all people would ask if they knew you worked out.

I have hit 450 with elbow sleeves, 45 mg of Phera, and I had eaten sushi buffet for like nearly 45mins earlier that day. When ever the highscool kids come up and ask how much I bench, I always tell them enough to get hurt, not enough to brag.

The 450 came about when I used to care about strength, since I don't care about looking cool in the gym anymore, its rare to see me go higher than 3 plates, if I am feeling insane I'll throw another 25 no more than that, my shoulders thank me every time!

[red barraca]

It was a lot man. I don't really go too heavy on anything anymore because I kept getting injured. My best bench was 350 flat, and got 255 for 8 reps on incline. Squatted 440. I don't even squat anymore because of a back injury and I miss it. Can't do deads either and I was repping 375 w/ straight bar on those. Injuries suck! I hear you on the shoulders man. Mine are fucked. Gotta find ways to alter the movements so they don't hurt. And it sounds like we're about the same size. I'm 5'7" but I only weight 175 right now. I was up to 228 at one point...fat.

[Bacon Boy]

Bacon

I learned long ago, I would rather look strong than be strong!


I learned after straining my back doing something stupid as hell: Showing off... Young and dumb and screwed my whole off season up, I was planing on doing a show in late April, but decided to pullout because I couldn't make the necessary improvements, I am still shredding though because like Rich it hasn't happened in a while!

I am planning on going to a higher rep scheme this week ie: instead of 10, going to like 14, sets will stay the same

[BEAST MODE]

What show were you going to do Bacon?

[Bacon Boy]

NPC Novice Midwest, 4/25/09 in STL, http://www.npcmidwest.com/ I am still thinking about going though and if by some miraculous work of divinity, I wake up completely shredded, I'll enter but as of now it's just to get cut as hell and look good at the pool...

[BEAST MODE]

So are you an NPC member then? Or would this be your first competition?

[Bacon Boy]

It would have been my first!

[BEAST MODE]

Sucks you had to pull out of it. I am just having a hard time finding a natty show near here at the end of March or first of April. There are some over summer but I'm not staying shredded that long.

NPC natural shows or, no DHEA or anti-e Natty Shows?

NPC natural shows or, no DHEA or anti-e Natty Shows?

Doesn't really matter to me. I figure if a guy isn't really natural and he places better than me, then I technically beat him because he cheated.

I guess it won't really matter in a few months, as I will no longer be natural.

Good job! All this cardio sucks ass, doesn't it?

[BEAST MODE]

Good training. What are cobra makers? Some type of pullover?

[Bacon Boy]

Cardio sucks miserably, but in my Ketogenic induced psychedelic state of mind, I am getting to a point were I enjoy it as long as I have Xbox hooked up!

Cobra makers are an exercise I made up and really good for lat development you perform the exercise by putting an upright bench in between a cable crossover station and with the pulleys at the top squeeze bringing your arms in, kinda of a motion you would do with a pullup only with a better range of motion!

[gman]

Like one arm lat pulldowns at the same time? Sit in the middle of the crossover facing the mirror. Grab a handle in each hand and pull down and bring elbow into your sides?

[Bacon Boy]

Exactly! It really shows your lats off while you do the exercise and it really pumps them up rather nice too!

My arms are a conundrum they look like 19's relaxed because my tri's are so ridiculously thick, I have no bicep peak what so ever, so when I flex= big disappointment:(

So my goals are improve chest size, and biceps peak!

[gman]

Getting lean, great work!

I saw where you were mentally toast in the cardio.

I turn into a zombie after about 30 minutes of cardio. I just zone out and go into a trance just to get it over with.

I used to have no peak either bro. Just keep plugging away at it. Use preachers to create the illusion of peak. And I've found that spider curls build peak pretty well. Some of us have it though, and some don't.

I am usually a zombie for all 40 minutes of evening cardio. I just get on the machine and space out.

[gman]

I know Rich has my build, if you do too, you have big joints like we do. Harder to get the peak.

[Bacon Boy]

Oh yeah if anyone has any questions on just about any supplement on the face of the Earth I can give you an honest answer I work at a Diesel (everyone that works at my store is a BBer) GNC. I have tried like everything we sell and several things you have never heard of.

including special concoctions: ie greatest preworkout product? we call it the potluck: 1 scoop of: SP 250, NO Xplode, & NO Black Powder sure it feels like your high but it makes for awesome pumps lol

[Bacon Boy]

I know Rich has my build, if you do too, you have big joints like we do. Harder to get the peak.

I have smaller wrists but every power lifter tells me they would kill for my elbows they are thick in a good way!

[gman]

I am doing testolyze right now, I know you don't sell it at GNC, but it's just saw palmetto and 6-oxo. 9 days on it so far, no difference felt yet. Dave told me it takes about 2 weeks to kick in. What's your opinion?

BTW, my son works very part time at a GNC. He is actually interested in bodybuilding and how good the products are too, not the typical stereotype of a GNC employee. A lot like you it sounds like.

[Bacon Boy]

Really two weeks huh? Testolyse is solid but if it was me taking it I would be running at least 3 caps a day, I run Saw Palm 24/7 I am a firm believer in its use!

[gman]

The dosage is 3 a day, so I am taking 900mg of 6-oxo a day.

[BEAST MODE]

I know Rich has my build, if you do too, you have big joints like we do. Harder to get the peak.

My wrists are the only small joint I have really. Everything else is bigger.

Damn, if I could afford all that shit, I'd try it. I love the SP250 right now.


I have smaller wrists but every power lifter tells me they would kill for my elbows they are thick in a good way!

Sounds the same as me bro.

[gman]

I can't remember my wrist measurement, but I do know when I did it and looked at the chart online, I had medium, on the verge of large wrists. I cannot circle my wrist with my thumb and middle finger and have the tips touch. About 1/2" short

Sucks for bodybuilding supposedly

[BEAST MODE]

Damn G, you do have big wrists. My thumb and middle finger overlap by 1/2". My wrists measure just over 6.5".

[Bacon Boy]

The dosage is 3 a day, so I am taking 900mg of 6-oxo a day.

I may take a while but its solid product I like 6-OXO a lot its potent stuff, it will give you a flase positive test for roids to, it pops up as andro...

[Bacon Boy]

Damn G, you do have big wrists. My thumb and middle finger overlap by 1/2". My wrists measure just over 6.5".


Same here! IMO SP 250 is great if you can get a good deal, but without any paid representation I can say NO Shotgun from VPX is the greatest Pre workout out of all of them, eventually I am going to just run the shotgun synthesize stack and just use the rest of the isolate as supplemental meals, peptopro is no joke serious stuff!

[gman]

I am remembering 7 1/4. I will tape em tonight.

My forearms measure 13" cold at biggest part, 13 1/4 cold flexed

On the 6-oxo, I hope it does something. Not sure what I expect, but we will see.

[Bacon Boy]

Never ask me anything about ACAI berry, unless you would like to hear some profanity!

[gman]

Never ask me anything about ACAI berry, unless you would like to hear some profanity!

Will it help me "tone up"? hahaha

Ducks to avoid brick coming through screen

[Bacon Boy]

Alright here it comes:

If I have one more fucking person come in and ask about some stupid fucking berry pill that causes you to feel great lose weight, and it cleanses your system I will strangle that person. "So this Product work?" Hell fucking no, it doesn't! Do you think if if some little berry from the amazon worked like it claims, it would be one:14.99, or two every bodybuilder on the face of the earth would be sucking that shit down after every workout? No we aren't its because that PIECE OF SHIT DOCTOR OZ FOR OPRAH, WAS PAID A VAST SUM OF MONEY TO BRING ON THE SHOW.... Yeah doctor Oz gets a check fro m anything he brings on!

Lets look at the shit Dr shit head Oz has brought on Apple Cider vinegar!?! because having a much more acidic enviroment is a good idea! wait its fucking not its catabolic which is bad for everyone!

Damn neti pots of ears what ever other orafice you cant fit that in! Fucking uselsss!

Back to Acai, it even says on the fucking label of every damn box of that shit that its not even good for weight loss as far as energy goes? A god damn calorie is a measure of heat and getting a calorie from some stupid fucking berry pill is the same as getting it from lard oh wait that lard will give more gram to gram!!!

I am going to make a product called the nutrient recycler! you will put it on the toilet and take a shit! The Recycler catches your defiecation so you may re injest it and get all of the nuitrients your body missed the first go around! DR OZ will bring it on Oprah and I will be rich! ACAI BERRY IS THE SAME FUCKING THING BOTH ARE SHIT NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!

I am sorry if this was offensive just an honest over view of the ACAI products currently for sale... Instead of you purchasing a berry pill off the net for $90 please by all means wire it to me and I will send you a big fricking turd in a box because that what you will get either way!

[gman]

You should post this up on in Muscle Central. It is a true classic!

[PA Viking]

lol at the potluck! I'm going to have to try that sometime.

[BEAST MODE]

Good shoulder work BB. Sure wish I could eat chili! I love that stuff. And it's perfect for the weather we're having right now.

[Bacon Boy]

3/1/09

So not much to report to you guys viewing this thread, I had 2 1hr sessions of cardio, and honestly can say I think it helped tremendously! I am waiting for the camera to charge and I'll flash a few pics!

Bacon Boy recipe discovery of the month:

Chili Eggs: 5 whole Omega 3 eggs, 2 whites, 1 cup chili= delicious!

[BEAST MODE]

You make your own chili or is it canned? I miss the Campbell's Firehouse Chili. That stuff is amazing.

[Bacon Boy]

You make your own chili or is it canned? I miss the Campbell's Firehouse Chili. That stuff is amazing.

Yeah its a secret family recipe that cant be let out of the bag, sorry!

[BEAST MODE]

Damn. Well my mom and grandma make some really good chili, so I guess I can use their recipe and try the eggs in it.

[Bacon Boy]

I guarantee it will be delicious with your G-ma's or campbells firehouse!

[gman]

2 lbs of ground round, 3 cans of chili beans, 2 cans of spicy Rotel, 3 cans of mexican spiced crushed tomatoes, chili powder, 1 beer.

Serve over rice, and grate at least a cup of cheese into the bowl and mix it all up.

Texas Pete is good to add to it at the individual level, not in the pot

[Bacon Boy]

Nice G, hey your looking leaner in that avatar!

[gman]

It's amazing how I am looking leaner in a pic that was taken a week ago! lol

I am behind on meals again today, have only eaten 4 so far. 2 to go.

[Bacon Boy]

Here's a comparison not the best posing or camera work by any means!

I perfer to takes my pics at the worst part of the for the physique with no pump so I can view all the pics with out any ego what so ever...

[gman]

the back bacon is definitely going away, see a lot more rear delt too

What is in the tub marked $$$?

[Bacon Boy]

The tub is labeled: $$$ for means of frugal enjoyment! kinda like beer money or mad money, it has $2.74

[BEAST MODE]

$2.74? Damn. You're rollin!

[Bacon Boy]

.26 cents more and I am ballin, I am thinking about taking it to the boat, and placing a bet on black with that vast sum!

[BEAST MODE]

Do it man. Then you could buy a cheeseburger or something w/ your winnings.

[Bacon Boy]

Do it man. Then you could buy a cheeseburger or something w/ your winnings.

If I go to white castle's I can have 4 cheese burgers and cover tax!

[BEAST MODE]

Is that w/ only $3? I don't eat White Castle. I've never heard anything positive about it.

[Bacon Boy]

HAHAHA, white castles is an adventure me and the boys have every 3 months (about the time we forgot the last time we went), in my fatty fat physically obese (by appearance and #'s) days i have dusted 20+ burgers in 1 sitting, the chicken rings are solid anytime, burgers will make you feel like shit and your farts smell like white castles for the next 3 days! talking about Whitey's is giving me the crave!

[gman]

i wish we had them around here for cheat day.

We don't have Steak and Shake either. Now that really sucks

[BEAST MODE]

Yeah, I think I'll keep my distance from White Castle. If I want the shits I'll go to McDonald's. I hate that fucking place too. Haven't eaten it since the 2006 Arnold.

[Bacon Boy]

i wish we had them around here for cheat day.

We don't have Steak and Shake either. Now that really sucks


Yeah cause you can get a triple with cheese, and fries for $4 I am sorry G!

[gman]

we got nothing here!

no white castle, no steak n shake, no krystal

[BEAST MODE]

G there are so many better places than those you mentioned. One word comes to mind when I think of those places---diarrhea.

[gman]

We do have a few Rally's still, they have a great diarrhea burger too.

[BEAST MODE]

Well now that you call it a diarrhea burger, I don't think I can eat Rally's again.

[Bacon Boy]

Just chomp down on Acidophilius tab or 2 and you can eat anything, this would be why I am the Bacon Boy lol!

[BEAST MODE]

What is an acidophilius tab? I'm guessing it helps in digestion?

[robert da strongman]

after the triple angry whopper i will stay away from fast food

[gman]

I am going to try one of those on one of my cheat meals

[Bacon Boy]

What is an acidophilius tab? I'm guessing it helps in digestion?

Its the main organism found in Yogurt, and in the digestive tract of the human body its dirt cheap as far as helping anything but gaseousness its not anything to be proud of...

I get free samples of them at work, so I only take it because its free once you pass the 70 pills a day mark, you quit counting and just say sure whats another one!

[BEAST MODE]

Hmmm...interesting. You take 70 pills a day? That's got me wondering how many I take now.

[Bacon Boy]

Hmmm...interesting. You take 70 pills a day? That's got me wondering how many I take now.


I easily take 70 right now I am sure with out any doubt it exceeds 100 easily

[BEAST MODE]

OK, so now I have to calculate mine. Looks like about 40-45 a day. You're blowing me away here.

[gman]

I am downsizing on the supps.

When I run out, I do not replace unless absolutely necessary.

[BEAST MODE]

My cabinet is full G. Lots of protein of course. BCAAs, Glutamine, liver tabs, multis, caffeine, Super Pump, Hyperdrive, Lean Dreams, waxy maize, krealkalyn, and lots of ibuprofen.

[Bacon Boy]

Well hell my am fat burner stack is 8, then the pm is 12, my EFA's= 16 pills

Plus all the other shit! You get usedto it fairly easy!

[gman]

i am cutting down to fish oil, evening primrose, CO Q-10, lipolyze, testostolyze, multi and juice plus.

I am running out of discretionary income for all this shit.

[BEAST MODE]

That's some accountant talk right there!

[Bacon Boy]

I stay organized with it though I keep it separated like it should be in a plano mini tackle box!

[BEAST MODE]

LMAO If I carried a tackle box into work, I'd catch hell. You should see the cooler I already bring in w/ me.

[Bacon Boy]

I just leave the cooler in the car at school and use asmaller cooler to take into work! I get weird looks all the time! I dont understand why either

[BEAST MODE]

Because normal people don't carry their food w/ them everywhere they go. If they are hungry, the go to McDonald's.

3/2/09 Monday: UNIVERSALLY KNOWN CHEST DAY!!!!

I would have posted but for some reason the whole site was unaccessible last night GRRRR!

Cardio: 1 hr AM: Fasted, 2.3 avg, @ 5.5%, avg hr 119

Training:
Flat bench: 135X 2X20, 225x12, 275X10 (Failure)
DB flyes to press : 55X12,8, 85X8,4, 105X5,5(Left pec suddenly failed abruptly never happened before)
Cable Flyes Flat: #30X30, #60X12, #80X8, #120X5
Dips: BWXfailure
Chest Press Machine wide as hell: 135X14, 185 x6, 225X2( left pec failure again!?!)
Alt DB curl 25X20, 30X10 (rather difficult for some reason), 40X10 (really really easy, elaboration at the bottom!


Training Notes:
So today I noticed that my herculean strength is gone! As is my already crappy muscular endurance, I quit writing my diet down because I get pissy to everyone if I actually realize how few carbs I am eating, so I am only getting 14gs pre training and 28g post and maybe 30g from vegtable sources so on a good day I am at 45g Carbs from fast digest, which explains the cutness, and lack of stregth, but I found at the end of my curls if I take more than 30seconds rest I do have some strength which explains the curls, I was covered in sweat during a lot of my training...

[gman]

The low carb is a strength sapper, that's for sure.

what's up with the pec, you think?

[Bacon Boy]

The low carb is a strength sapper, that's for sure.

what's up with the pec, you think?


I am not sure, itsa not painful or anything just feels goofy! Its just I think i extinguish the glycogen at the time, the strength for todays back workout was gone too!

So I just say its a function of low carb, I still get pretty pumped, so when the pump stops I'll worry...

[Bacon Boy]

3/3/09 Back Day!

Cardio: None woke up late!

Wide Grip Pulldowns: #80X20, #100X12, #120X8
Yates Pulldowns: #90,#110,#130X10
BB rows: 135X14, 185X10, 225X7
Close grip pull downs: 140X10, 180X5
Cable lat ext.:30X18, 40X14, 60X10

[BEAST MODE]

Good back work BB. I hate it when I wake up late. I feel like the world's going to end for about 10 seconds. That's why I set 2 alarms and have to get out of bed to turn them off.

[Bacon Boy]

So today is rest day aka cardio all day!

As of 9:27am one hour down, 2.5 mph avg, 5.5% woke up this morning and the fam looked at me goofy... Apparently they think I am looking really really cut!

Now that I hear that, me looking in the mirror I look great, on camera I think I look like shit and that's what matters... Since I am not going for a contest this year I am just going to cut, to hopefully 8% or lower and just hold low bf from there on, I did the skin fold im @ 13% after back work, which is probably off since I was pumped. And the other thing guys, I am running an ass ton of PH, so much so that I do not want to post the now because I don't want some kid seeing and saying OK i can look like Bacon Boy by taking XY then bridge to AZ, if your really curious PM me... Anyways PH alway make you hold H2O, and when I start taking Anti-E I should drop a lot of the bloat...

[gman]

I want the real thing myself! lol

Have you ever done a show? I want to someday, but I want to first get to 10% or less and reassess at that time. Take it one goal at a time.

[BEAST MODE]

I want the real thing myself! lol

Have you ever done a show? I want to someday, but I want to first get to 10% or less and reassess at that time. Take it one goal at a time.

The real thing is in my very near future bro! I can't wait!

I'm thinking the same thing as you. When I start getting into the single digits, I'm going to assess everything. Not this year though. But next year when I start getting down, I'll decide if I'm ready or not. I really want to compete next summer. And I won't be restricted to a natty show.

[Bacon Boy]

No I haven't done a show yet I would like to maybe at the end of the summer the whole natural status is interesting the NPC views me as natural and that's all that matters to me!

So I have had the day off I just got done with my second session of cardio, and while I was on the mill I got to thinking about things...

I kinda miss being fat and strong but regardless I am still the Bacon Boy no matter what my ass is just dragging oh well, if everyone could be a bodybuilder it wouldn't be nearly as fun...

As far as progress goes I am @ 13.9 to 14.4% BF, still around 204, I am guessing I am going to get as low as 178 numbers on weight really arent that important to me as long as I am yoked by the end of it, its all good!

[BEAST MODE]

I couldn't give two shits about the weight either BB. Doesn't matter to me at all because my goal is to get absolutely peeled!

[gman]

Like I always say, I would rather look strong than be strong.

[BEAST MODE]

Fo sho G! And that is what bodybuilding is about. We are supposed to look really strong. Of course, it's always nice to be really strong at the same time. But I don't care about that too much anymore. Not worth the injuries.

[gman]

At 47 I just want to be jacked so all the ladies and their hot daughters will be after me.

[BEAST MODE]

I'd like to have that problem at 24! We lost this convo from earlier didn't we?

[gman]

yeah and it was a good one, I was hoping musclegoddess would give us some tips! lol

[Bacon Boy]

Hijacked!!! Lol

[BEAST MODE]

It is to be expected from us BB.

You like that response G? Had to do it. Dave has some classic answers, doesn't he?

[gman]

haha

[BEAST MODE]

Hey BB I was gonna ask you this the other day but forgot. Do you find that SP250 does not mix well w/ the 4 oz recommendation on the jug? I tried it w/ 4 oz the first day and it was just lumpy as shit. I'm probably using 8 oz now and it mixes much better. Just wondered what you've noticed.

I'll post yesterday's training tonight, but I just wanted to state I have the full north to south chest crease finally!

Sorry guys I haven't been on here, school is getting so crazy that I am actually studying while training... I hope to be able to update on here when I have enough time it's sad when you don't have enough time to update an online training journal, FYI, I am @ 11.3% bf at a weight of 198...

[BEAST MODE]

Well it looks like the diet is still coming along nicely then. Keep it up man. Hope the rest of the semester goes well.

Nice leg work BB...you done w/ school for the semester?

Yeah review day and then the rest of my papers due wednesday...

[BEAST MODE]

Sounds like an easy week. What year are you?

[Bacon Boy]

Well yeah it is especially because it is mathematically impossible for me to get any lower than a 90% with out coming in for the final...

My strength is gone to hell which sucks, but with cutting bodyfat and dieting one doesn't expect to get stronger too!

[BEAST MODE]

Yeah if you're getting stronger while dieting, I want whatever you're taking! I'm starting to get back into the heavier weights now that I'm priming for the bulk. Feels good...

[Bacon Boy]

I bet your food tastes really good too! I am not going to blow up like i did last off season I am about 10.8% this off season I dont wanna get any fatter than 14%... I really miss 7,500 kcals a day...

[BEAST MODE]

Food is good. I enjoy not getting hungry between meals, but I'm not going crazy on the cheats. I'm eating 90% clean, and having my cheats on the weekend. That allows me to go out and do things and not have to carry a cooler around w/ me. I was eating 2400 cals a day on maintenance and not gaining any weight at all, so I've upped it to about 2600-2800 to start and added carbs in on all training days.

MAJOR NEWS!!!
I get a call from my regional boss at GNC (I have been selling major amounts of stuff from people eye humping my arms!) Saying I am promoted to manager of a store! So Baconboy is bringing in more BACON!!!

After looking at my physical journal I can tell I am no longer freakishly strong anymore! But I am 40 pounds lighter and a lot bigger looking, I get pumps anywhere and all the time and my training style is what i call pump pursuant, I get pumped by rep 8 on the first set and just try and blow it up from there well sense this diet and everything I can awknowledge that I have a better mind muscle connection, I think those are the reasons why and the depleted state all the time!

[Bacon Boy]

Glad to see you root for the right team rich in see the cards stuff in your prof pic!

[BEAST MODE]

Nice workout, and congrats on the promotion bro! Feels good to be lean doesn't it? I know how you feel on the pumps when you're leaner. I'm thoroughly enjoying it too.

And hell yes I root for the right team! I was raised as a Cards fan. That's the thing I enjoy most about being in STL now is that I can catch a game damn near any time I want.

So I go into the steam room like every day and the regional director of all the gyms in the area gives me a funny look and says, "Jon!?!" I respond yeah??? He says he doesnt recognize me... I am like this is cool, thanks man!

I get out of the steam room take my shower, and though on some pants go to do my hair in the mirror I walk by the old guys, and I get what the response of "When the fuck did that happen!?!" What are you talking about guys??? They tell me I look crazy and I do!

We go upstairs and check my bodyfat... 9.7% at 194... As time went on throughout the day I started holding more water here and there but its nuts, if I am pumped I think I am near show ready in that state and within the last 3 weeks I am all of a sudden vascular as hell...

Not complaining any!

[buster12]

pics?

[Bacon Boy]

Alright so fill in on life!

The store the put me at is so ****ed up its not funny paper work hasnt been done for months and loads of crap on top of that, they also have me working 4 10hr shifts every week which is screwing my training all to hell!

Well after having 4 50 carb days in a row and still doing cardio, around 1 and half hours fasted, I have been feeling really weird, then yesterday I hop on the scale it reads 184.... 2 days prior it read 194... WTF right so I have no idea whats going on with that, I decide to have 100 carb day. So I head to the gym after having to go in on my day off, and hop on the scale with: 2 meals, preworkout powder, and XYZ supps in the system, drank roughly 1/2 gallon of H20 and clothes on, scale reads 186...

Training occurs and I sipp my dextorse powder while going like always, i just feel weird... Strength is barely there too... Don't get me wrong my waist has shrank and I normally am @ 10% bf most of the time (BUSTER PICS UP BY THURSDAY i SHOULD HAVE TIME TO CLICK SOME OFF, I'll shave tonight! lol this kinda looks gay). So the plan is to stop cardio for a week stay on he diet and train as hard as I can tommorrow is chest that will be the true test see where I am at!

Today no cardio or anything about 10 mins before I left for the gym....

[buster12]

definate improvement!

[Bacon Boy]

definate improvement!


Man the top I was plugging away 8,000 kcals in... and zero cardio, I can't wait to see my night show pics compared to those...

[BEAST MODE]

Awesome changes just from 195-191 bro! Great job!

[Bacon Boy]

5/26/09... OFF DAY

Cardio: 30.5 mins HIIT fasted

52 mins old school @ 2.0, 2% incline...

[Bacon Boy]

5/27/09 Shoulders, rear delts, and traps! heavy day!

DB shoulder press: 45X12 (warm up), 55X12, 65X10, 75X10, 85X10
BB front raises: 40X10, 60X10, 40X12
7's DB laterals: 7X30X10

Rear delt machine: 30X10, 40X10, 45X10
7's DB Rear delt laterals: 7X20X10

Smith Shrugs: 225X10+ 10 behind, 405X10, 585X10
7's BaconBoy Trap rows: 7X45X10


Weight is at 194 according to gym scale... Separation the same so might have put oin some muscle chest looks a lot more full.

I am not making a huge deal but I am committing to the 2009 NPC Midwest Ironman looking at hitting the stage at about 175, just afraid I wont be able to fill in the gaps in time but I have a solid month stritchly for growth, I am @ about 200 carbs a day training days and then about 100 for non training days...

Main areas that need most improvment ARMS ( would like to see them get to the 18-19 inch range), and CHEST really needs to come in more full, leg seperation as well as conditioning.

Plan is staying moderately lean and taking a slow time to hit like 9% by 12 weeks out, that way I have another 12 weeks to get down to 6-7% and life will be less stressful this way, but with my semester next year this all could change we shall see.

[Bacon Boy]

5/27/09 cont....

Cardio was @ 6:30 35 mins HIIT fasted

[BEAST MODE]

Are you working w/ anyone for your prep bro?

[Bacon Boy]

Are you working w/ anyone for your prep bro?


Nope I kinda personally have found what has worked well for me diet wise already, and the training kinda the same thing but as far as carb up that kinda stuff I don't know anything about that yet, I am thinking about Hany Rambod since the FST-7 program has really worked well for me and I kinda am doing his whole program (sorta) with out ever cutting him a check...

[BEAST MODE]

I've done the same thing and have the same deal w/ carbing up. When it comes to depleting then carbing back up, I'm going to need a trainer for sure. But everything else I do myself.

BB

My son worked at a GNC for about a year, said it happened almost constantly, someone would come in and say, "I have x event on Saturday, do you have anything that will help me get 10-15 lbs off by then?" This would be on Tuesday or Wednesday before the event.

Haha the greatest story I have for something like that is I was working and in walks a mom and her super hot daughter!

Daughter says hey do you guys have taraxatone?

At the time we didn't because it hadnt been re-released yet so I showed her the only diuretic we had at the time: XPEL. Out of curiosity I ask what she needs it for she is already in shape enough.

She says well I am holding a little water and I am doing a pagent, I say where are holding it at and what kinda of pagent is it?

Without hisitation the young lady pulls down her sweat pants showing me her lime green thong mother standing right there next to her, and she then bends over and shows me the area right under her ass... She then says bikini.

I look at mom who in no way is embaressed what so ever and I complete this transactionwith a red face a memory that will last a life time...

As promised posing after arm training 5-29-09

As you can see conditioning really needs to come up in the midsection, but in my defense the camera was in a goofy angle so it really robbed me of my peaks which is evident when I squeeze from the bottom to the top...

Sweet review man...what are gorilla pulls?

Seated cable independent lat pulldowns you do it sitting don in the middle of a cable cross over with the pulley at the highest possible setting and bring elbows to your side I have called them cobra makers in the past as well!

So today 35 mins steady state cardio, I get to drop morning stuff down because I am working summer camp for the 5th year starting today and I get to run around all day and throw dodgeballs at kids, so I count that in total as 1 hr of cardio for myself training and posing should be up by 7:30 tonight StL time!

[BEAST MODE]

I remember the cobras. Have fun at the summer camp man! Throwing dodgeballs at kids reminds me of Billy Madison.

That's basically how I am as a summer camp counselor I give lectures about "the man", I have 3 rules: Be safe, Have fun, Don't Cry! Umm I dont know a single name of any of my campers they all have nicknames, begin many demonstrations with now dont ever do this ever!!!... I am the best/worst counselor of all time!

And then when kids say my dad/brother is stronger than you, I say nope!, can you dad do this and I'll pick like a picnic table or something up or pick a kid up with arm and shoulder press them lol and say lets see your dad do that lol

[BEAST MODE]

Man I need to get involved in this camp stuff! Too bad I'm in a damn office for 9 hours a day.
