Monday Madness Arms:
despite a jacked up lower left back muscle that was tender as shit by the time training rolled around things were pretty good today. not sure what or how i jacked it up but it certainly was bitching at me from about 2pm onward.
my omegawave reading was green across the board on all 5 windows of trainability so that was nice to see to know i could go apeshit today with full reserves ready to go all in!
upper pull day:
530-7pm 24 hour fitness midway
bw wide pull ups: 5x6 reps
seated shrug machine: 4x12 with iso pause
hammer low rows: 3x30 reps (pump city!!)
straight arm wide bar pull downs: FST7
chest supported wide grip tbar rows: 3x13 with slow eccen, and iso pause at top
preacher curl machine: 4x8
incline bench db curls: 3x10
hammer curls: 3x12
high cable bicep curls: 3x15
Kept a good pace tonight by timing my rest periods to 75 or so seconds on all sets accept FST7 of course, those were 30 secs. really good feel on everything tonight. focus was solid, energy good. had to be little cautious with the back tonight but all went well. hope its better tomorrow or im gonna have to foam roll the sucker good as i got squats tomorrow night!!
PS.....Big news! A good chance I may be relocating to a city just NW of Cambridge UK in about 3 months if things pan out as I hope they do! Will see!

yesterday was way more cardio then planned but oh well, part of the job.
did my own 40 mins of cardio early to get done as i had a busy work day of meetings and travel stops to make. then i ended up leading a class for 2 divisions that wanted a spin class lead! so there was 2 more 30 minute HIT sessions on the fly just a few hours later.......so much for a true OFF day. would have packed more food with me at work today had i known this was coming....roll with it right!
today however was more on par......lead 1, 60 minute loaded ruck session for a division around 9am. hit my own workout at the usual 530pm....here we go....
5 mins stepmill, dynamic warm ups, cuff series, band work, trx mobz.
band bench press dynamic effort
175x4 reps with 2 red bands for 10 sets at 1 min rests
bb standing push press
105x5 for 6 sets
hammer chest press: 3x10 to total failure, buddy spots last few reps

seated db arnold presses: 47.5's
3x7 with buddy spotting last rep or two
hammer seated tricep press down machine:

TRX Overhead tricep extensions
50 reps in 3 sets with full ROM
5 minutes treadmill walk, static deep stretching DC style, foam rolling. done!!
finished about 715pm and we were toast! me and my training buddy david had pure noodle arms after this bitch was done. he is a good 25% stronger then me on all upper body pressing so its nice to work with him as he can push me harder and heavier then id normally go solo. sadly he starts a new job in orange county and may only be back in SD on friday nights now for a while.
peace folks!

this was after leading 2 fitness classes at 9am and 12 noon today. TRX and Spin, each 45 minutes long. i really need to jack up my food intake to compensate for what i know i need but more so for what excess im burning in these damn classes now. im sweating my ass off and getting a mild workout in the classes i lead and need to treat them as such. shit......likely why the damn scale has stopped moving up for 3 weeks now depsite not missing 1 meal in that time.

Fell behind a bit after 3 days at sea then a huge annual command formal 2 nights ago. Wild and fast week. But hell it weekend now so lets enjoy it right?!
Yesterday was an off day, planned to ruck for 45 minutes with 20% load but my omegawave said f$^ck that as all 4 windows of train ability were in the red which was not 100% a shocker as I was tired, drowsy and sleep most the morning and afternoon. I even napped for an hour around 4pm yesterday and it was amazing! I still managed a 10-10-10 gauntlet of 65% HRR at the gym using stepmill, bike, elliptical back to back to back. Broke a sweat, foam rolled and got out.
Today is gonna be an upper body push day and so far feel pretty good. Going to try and see if pushing my workings to afternoon vs evening might shake things up for me a bit or at least see how I perform relative to evenings. Lucky for me I work in a gym all day then live between 3 others at home so never have to pick when or where I train.
Weight is down under 200 this week which I did not like of course since weight loss is not my goal at all. Pushing for 210 with all I got but with the sea time last week and week before and leading these damn ruck sessions or spin classes its just eating up my calories and my recovery to a small extent. Going to have to push for more intra workout supplementation to compensate for what I am doing external to purposeful, directed training.
Today I am bumping daily carbs to 400 grams from 350. Keeping fats and 85 and protein and 250 as it has been for past 5 weeks. Will see if a small nudge gets weight back the other directions. Sitting at 11.4% bodyfat based on clinical JP 7 site skinfold by trained tech 2 weeks ago. 13% as high as I ever liked to see it go as no greater benefit has come from being over that as I have found.
Hope you all have a good weekend and stay safe, have fun, enjoy! Peace out!

As of yesterday I had to swap plans of preparing for a role with a talent agent to play a viking character from the History Channel series "Vikings" which was all god and grand for 3 weeks until yesterdat when the contract was dropped for San Diego Comic Con so they no longer need me or any of the other 10 vikings. Really bummed me out big time as I was looking forward to the event, the show and the role I had plus the nice $500 pay day that came with it. So as pissed as I was to get that news I just shifted my goals to do a formal men's physique contest here in San Diego August 20th.
npc.jpg
I am 93 days out today. Already 3 weeks in technically. I do a taper plan for 6 weeks then go more formal cut phase for the rest. Always done it this way. Difference is that all I do in weeks 1-6 is I have 1 cheat meal a week and keep the rest of the week clean as possible.
My pics are from 3 weeks ago on day 1 of what was my Viking prep objective. 12.6% BIA device and 200lbs. 6'2"
EO weekend Saturday I will post new pics and stats.
IMAG2448.jpgIMAG2450.jpg
Using a 2 on 1 off split for 3 weeks now as of the prep start date.
upper push/lower pull/off/upper pull/lower push/off then repeat
I do 30-35 minutes LISS cardio on off days along with AIS and foam rolling. I get massages 1x a week as well.
I have no sponsors at this time but have been partial and loyal to Gaspari brand myofusion, aminolast and qualitine (creatine) products. No thermos used at this time. I also use a USANA brand AM/PM daily multi and have to admit I like it quite a bit!
my macros right now and for the past 3 weeks have been set at:
275 protein
275 carbs
80 fat
again i note now that i dont do any flour or wheat/pasta. i am NOT paleo by any means. I just do not do well with flour or wheat based items. makes me tired in even in small amounts right after eating them. tested for gluten issues, nothing at all. cleared there. checked for diabetes, clear there, far from it in fact. I use cinnamon on all my carb based meals as well as Glycosolve product (berberine) with my largest carb based meals and this allows me to pack down 100+ grams of carbs pre and post training with no issues at all. i use plain quick oats, or rice or potatoes 75% of the time as my carb options. fruits make up the rest.
i use 0 anabolics or Rx drugs of any kind for any reason. just stating that, not claiming any good or bad sides with that period!
please follow along as i rekindle this thread now that a major contest is back on my plate for AUGUST 20TH 2016!Last edited by Joshua H; 05-26-2016 at 02:35 PM.
