Well all lets get in on. As a proud member of the AAEFX and P/RR/S TEAM, I'm stoked about the new progress coming my way. I have been using Erics program for the last 4+ years with the last couple years being the advanced version. Weight right now 190 which is where i like to be for my off season. I have a contest in mind to shoot for, however, for now that will be my secret. My current supps that i will be taking:

KRE-CELERATOR-pre w/o
CELL RUSH-pre and post w/o
KRE-ALKALYN-off days(actually been using this for the last 6-8 months)
LBA PRO-3-4 times a day
KRE-GENERATOR- post w/o
NF WHEY-post w/o and throughtout the day

My split as follows:
monday-legs
tuesday-chest/bi's
wed- off
thur-back
fri-shoulders/ tri's

cardio 3-5 days a week at 25 minutes.
I've been cycling my diet with an 8 week bilk followed by a 6 week cut. Not a hard cut like for a comp but one just to trim off some fat that i may have put on. I'm currently into my 3rd week of a cut then its back to bulking.

Monday 6-1-09 LEGS

Was supposed to do legs today however i had some slight tenderness in my right pateller tendon so i decide to give my legs a rest this week and just did some light walking on a treadmill for 25 minutes.

db press 90x6,6,6 100x6,6,5

preachers 95x6 100x6 105x6,5,6

db curl 50x6,6

Felt freaking unstopable in the gym today. Just really had a focus and mind set of wanting heavy volume. With each exercise i didnt stop until i felt i was satisfied. Recovery was awesome between sets. Energy was top notch and banging on all cylinders. One AWESOME workout.

how are you liking the KRE-ALKALYN-?? I took it for a while.. I liked the ease of the capsel form, but I really don't know if it did anything for me

T-bar 145x6,6,6

rg row 205x6,6

I've been using kre-alkalyn now for about 8 months and wont use anything else. I run it at 3g a day. Dont get me wrong CM worked for me but it ripped my gutts apart at 5g a day. So i dropped it to 3 g and it still gave my gutts problems with cramping. About 8 months ago i read about kre-alkalyn and gave it a try and havent stopped using it. Some people have good results with it and others bash the hell out of it. All i know is it works for me.

What was your dose that you were taking?

Did regular CM work for you?

. CM worked for me also, but I liked the convenience of taking a pill vs. mixing it my protien shake for some reason. I still have some in my supp closet.. I probably should finish it up

Posted by: katt

Have you ever incorporated rack pulls into your back routine? We just did the other day, and my upper back hurt like a MF for a few days.

I presume your talking about p/rr/s training. In whick case ive seen all my lifts increase steadily from one cycle to another. An example my squats have gone from mid 200's to mid to upper 400's when on a bulk. Plus i use my wife as a gauge. Prior to starting this program she would always tell me it looks like ive gone no where.

Thanks Katt! I and my training partner are the only ones that will do them at the gym. Others just look at us like we are nuts. One kid actually thought we were squating...

Thursday 6-11-09 shoulders/tri's

*due to my lingering shoulder problem i'm still not able to work my shoulders*
skulls 75x15 95x12 105x8 (only about 80% of what i can do. Too much pain in shoulder)

cg bench 105x15 125x12(have to lighten up with this also)

pushdowns 87x15 97x15(god this sucks. My shoulder really efffects my weights during my workout)

weighted crunches 35x20 45x20 55x20,20

weighted obliques 35x20,20

Did it got through it. about all i can say. Probably only about 70-80% of what i can do. but if i dont lighten up i cant do them at all.

Posted by: Built

You baby the hell out of that shoulder injury. Are you cutting right now?

Doing a short cut right now to trim off some fat that i put on with my previous bulk cycle i did.

Wish i didnt have to take it easy cause of my shoudler.

Posted by: Built

Oh I know, believe me I know.

The one shoulder exercise that doesn't seem to hurt me when my RC acts up (I've busted my right shoulder AND my right collarbone) is the Olympic bar corner press. Hits abs a bit at the same time for free, as an added perk. I'd still go light, but I find these very rehabilitative while still giving my delts at least SOME work.

You tried those yet?

No never heard of them fill me in on them

Posted by: Built

It's a movement I first read on T-nation, in one of Christian Thibaudeau's articles.

I link to it in the shoulder module I posted here:
Got Built? » The Shoulders of Giants

Scroll to the end and you'll see the link. You can do 'em strict or as a push-press. I prefer the push-press version, myself.

You might want to skip the rest of the module while you rehab that shoulder.

There's a really good shoulder mobility/prehab/rehab vid by my friend, strength-coach and kettlebell instructor Boris Bachman here if you care to watch it.

YouTube Video

He posts under johnnymnemonic2, and his squat RX series is legendary.

I have been thinking about trying it too.....I find it cheaper than the CM as dose is very low. CM gives me wicked cramps, Since my CM is all over i'll be buying a bottle of Kre-Alkalyn soon.....

I use AAEFX(All American EFX).

Bodybuilding.com - All American EFX Kre-Alkalyn EFX - PH Correct Creatine! On sale now!

240 caps for 30 bucks. As far as that brand i have never heard of muscle fx. I know AAEFX has the patent on Kre-Alkalyn and i was trying to find the patent number in mucle fx description. If thats the only place you can get it i would call them first to see if it has a patent number. Here is the patent number for Kre-Alkalyn (U.S. Patent #6,399,661). If they give you a patent # that matched then its Kre-Alkalyn.

www.allamericanefx.com - Kre-Alkalyn EFX Overview
(this link goes to AAEFX's web site for more info on Kre-Alkalyn)

you can also go to The Official Website of Kre-AlkalynÂ®

Any other question just fire away at me...

Posted by: nkira

Okay, I just got the bottle & the bottle says "Buffered Creatine US Patent# 6,399,661. Great, I got the authentic stuff.

Hoopie, Thanks for the patent number info.

This is the second grant AAP has now received from MBRCT. The first won was for Kre-Celazine?, which is AAP?s new anti inflammatory material. (Kre-Crelazine® "for joint flexibility & pain relief")

Why the AM tribulus, hoopie?

Obviously an attempt to raise luteinizing hormone, which trib has been shown to do in some studies.

Posted by: Built

It wasn't obvious - the only utility from tribulus that I know of is enhancement of libido. I am unaware of any studies showing LH increases with tribulus. You got anything, Eric?

Quick one on rats. There are many more as well out there. However, otehr studies show nothing. It might have to do with the TYPES of tribulis used, as some extracts are far more potent than others.

http://www.scielo.br/pdf/ibju/v33n4/v33n4a15.pdf

Posted by: Built

Yes, well, if humans are sufficiently rat-like, the same trib that increases LH in rats ought to do the same in humans. So far, there's no evidence that it does.

Great for stiffies though - I thought maybe our man Hoopie was getting a little somethin' somethin' in the AM!

The "stiffies" are not purported to result from nitric oxide production (like Viagra/yohimbe) but from transient rises in test levels.

I may be wrong, but isn't it the case that testosterone mediates erection through the production of NO?

Since the trib is for the stiffies, why take it AFTER you get laid?

Ever since i started taking the trib i've noticed a difference in myself. I cant explain it but i do like how i feel while taking it thats why i keep taking it. Some like to call it the alfa male feeling. to me thats the dumbest saying ive ever heard. All i know is i feel a lot different when taking it and i like how i feel. So i keep taking it everyday when i wake up. Is it from a rise in my test levels who knows. I definately know my labido has improved.

I know its not the greatest explaination but it the best way i can explain it as to why i take it every day...

Posted by: Built

No worries. I know it does something - I've taken it myself. Never noticed the libido, but hubby did when he took it.

That is because it is likely an effective test booster for you. Quality trib products, such as AAEFX's, will cause a transient rise in test and for many it is actually "feelable." Trib has been on the market for many, many years and continues to sell because it does work pretty well for many (although not all).

Man the last few weeks i have been under the weather and unable to workout. Between my back then something with my guts i just didnt feel good. Ended up changing my diet and started feeling better within 24 hours. Needlesss to say it looks like my bulk diets/meals in general have to be all whole grain carbs. Any type of processed carbs makes me really sick with horrible cramping in my stomach/intestinal region. Changed up my diet in the beginning of last week and started feeling better the next day. By the end of the week i was back to almost 100% and today i think im there. Think i needed to expell the rest of those bad carbs out of my body..

Posted by: Built

Ooooh, damn. What do you figure it was that did it, Hoopie? Too much gluten? Sugar?

Im thinking it was the gluten as i had found out that my grandmother has a gluten alergy. I wish i could explain how my stomach and gutts felt. It looks like all my carbs HAVE to be in the forms of whole grains. I DO NOT want to feel like that again. I was actually getting really worried that something seriously major was wrong with my gutts...

Posted by: Built

If it's gluten - and I don't handle the stuff well, either - you won't feel wonderful on whole grains either.

As an experiment, try sticking to non-grain sources for your starchy carbs. Rice - white or brown - causes almost no one any digestive problems, and unless you have trouble with deadly nightshades, potatoes (white or sweet) should be comfortable as well.

A few other non-gluten sources:

Sorghum flour
quinoa
buckwheat
corn (flour, meal, starch)

If it isn't gluten, you'll be fine on whole grains. If it is gluten, grain foods - whole or otherwise - will cause you more and more grief over time.

Oats are usually mentioned in the literature as being gluten-free, but I have just as much trouble with oats as I do with wheat so approach this one cautiously. If in doubt, avoid it for now. There are plenty of other delicious gluten-free starches to choose from. Please do not hesitate to ask for grain-free substitutes for any of the foods you are currently eating if you need suggestions - many of the members of one of the other boards I mod have gluten problems; this is not an uncommon problem and I may have some work-arounds to offer you, should you require them.

Thats good to know as im still learning about this gluten thing. You have me thinking though cause i know when i eat whole grain pastas i get crampy feeling but i always figured that as a carb bloating feeling. Now that you wrote that it may be more. Sweet taters dont bother me at all.

Got a question for ya built. When you would eat gluten foods do your gutts get real crampy and gassy. I get horrible bloating and gassy and my gutts just hurt its so bad.. Now with the whole grains its not as bad but is stil there slightly.

Posted by: Built

Yes, I do. And - weirdly enough - I still feel hungry.

Not all starches do this to me. Just the gluten containing ones. White gluten containing ones are perhaps the worst, but it happens with all of them.

Posted by: Built

I know oatmeal is the stuff of bodybuilding dietary legend, but if you suspect you are having trouble with gluten, stop ALL gluten containing foods for a while - including the iffy ones like rye, oats and spelt.

I have a sister who is acutely ill from this finally getting to her, she's been hospitalized with Celiac and is heavily medicated for it - and in terrible pain daily. She pukes every morning, and has trouble with her digestive tract all day. She's wasted considerably.

I believe I have this too, and I'm hoping that in avoiding gluten most of the time, my body may still allow me the occasional indiscretion of the odd piece of birthday cake, or to not have to worry about checking to see if my soy sauce contains wheat.

Celiac is not an allergy - it is an autoimmune disease, and it is cumulative. The longer you ignore it, the worse it gets, until such point as you pretty much have to eat out of a kitchen-lab for the rest of your life.

I am NOT diagnosing you - just offering you fair warning that this is NOT fun, it does NOT go away, it has NOTHING to do with "clean" vs. "dirty" carbs and it's not an allergy. It's a food intolerance, and my strong feeling is that it has become prevalent because our western diet has become so OVERdependend on wheat. Wheat, like all grain foods, did not evolve to be the perfect food for humans. It evolved to survive digestion and get crapped out a few miles up the field by the animal that ate it, as a means of propagation. In order to do this, it contains antinutrients, substances that interfere with ordinary digestion to ensure its viability. All plant foods have some level of antinutrition. We are admonished to consume a varied diet so as to ensure adequate nutrition, but it is just as important that we do so as minimize exposure to the individual antinutrients these foods contain. My strong feeling is that by flying under the radar, we may be able to avoid setting off the immune response that is virtually impossible to reset once activated.

Eat what agrees with you. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice - try those. Try white rice; you may be surprised by the lack of reaction you have to this refined glucose polymer. (White rice is one of my favourite post workout carb sources)

Well not a good day today. Shoulder gave out on me at the gym while doing bench press. Luckily my spotter was on the ball and caught the bar. Couldnt finish the workout do to the pain and lack or range of motion. Iced it down and now heating it. Feels like its burning inside the joint. Needless to say that sucks. Wifey not sure what i did to it. DAMNIT!!!

Headed to Dr.'s on monday. I've lost about 30-40% ROM in my shoulder due to severe pain. Actually have to walk with it in my pocket so it doesnt swing back-n-forth...Damnit this bites....

Shoot man...this sucks!

Posted by: Built

You don't want to hear this, but I'm going to say it anyway - do not perform ANY movement that causes even the slightest pain in your shoulder. It will suck, you will hate it, and it's really important that you don't re-irritate it. Get it checked out by the doc, get the physio or whatever you need and baby the HELL out of it. It will NOT get better until you do, so put that right out of your head.

[/tough love]

Posted by: HOOPIE

Went to doc today and was advised to go to an Orthopod....F'n great not what i wanted to hear...

Posted by: HOOPIE

Well here is my workout plan for the next few weeks. I am going to alternate weeks with hitting legs and arms twice in a week. So week 1 will be legs on monday and friday with biceps on tuesaday. the week 2 will be legs on tuesday with bi's on monday and friday. Then just keep flipping back n forth on the weeks. Cardio will be there at 3-5 days a week.

What are everyones thoughts on this...

Posted by: Built

Hoopie, what movements CAN you perform without pain?

Can you do laterals? Flyes? How about any kind of rowing movements, such as dumbbell rows, bent over rows, t-bars, cable rows?
Can you do deadlifts? How about barbell squats?

What kinds of arm work can you do without pain? For bis, I'm imagining you're fine with everything but movements such as chinups - but perhaps those are okay if done with a close grip? How about tricep work - shall I assume dips and close grip bench are out? Bench dips would definitely be out.

Maybe just organize it according to what you can do for each of these types of movements:

Quad work
Ham work
Horizontal pulling
Horizontal pushing
Vertical pulling <- I'll assume none
Vertical pushing
Ab work
Bicep work
Tricep work

Posted by: slackadjuster

Hammer those legs twice a week. Make everyone say....He's juiced! just a thought. I have been doing some of the DC stretches I found online...seem to be working.

Posted by: HOOPIE

Down side to legs is that i cant do squats. When i try to get my right arm back to hold the bar across my shoulders it freaking kills my shoulder. Tested biceps yesterday and all was pretty good except preachers and lying cable curls. havent tried rows or t-bar yet along with tris. Chest is completely out for i cant do a single movement without pain.

That bar took a few sets to get used to and it kicked my arse. Couldnt come close to the weight that i use with a straight bar. even my training partner who hits near 500 struggled with 315 for 3 sets of 6. that bar does however feel like it hits the quads more...

Camber bar squat 260x6,6 275x6 285x6

Really like the camber bar for squats. Catn do as much weight but damn does it hit the quads hard...

If you can hit your quads hard with less weight, that's awesome - less wear and tear on the old bod.

I wish I had access to one of those cambered bars.

I havent been released to train yet so what im going to do is rip it up with AAEFX. Yep i'm going to contest diet starting today and schread it up. Hopeing to get released soon to train but until then im going to diet my arse off....

Hoops, are you sure this is a good idea? Hard dieting while healing an injury isn't something I'd do to my own body, much less recommend someone else.

Tuesday 11-3-09 Shoulders

Hang power cleans 115x5 125x5 135x5 145x4,4

oly bar corner press 50x8 60x8 65x8

arnold press 30x10 35x10

lateral raise 15x12,12

This is my first shoulder workout in 8 months. I had ZERO pain during this workout. Although the weights are low it felt good to be back doing shoulders. Just got to take it slow and hope i dont re-injure it. For oly bar press i used a t-bar machine and i dont know how much the bar wieghs on the machine itself. I guessed at 25 so i just added the weights from there that i used. It may be 35 pounds but i went with 25.

Hey awesome, you did my shoulder module!

Nice work.

didnt want to push lower back to hard so i just went with 2 sets of gm's and stopped there. I know its only my first week back but these numbers kill me from what i was doing prior to the accident

Don't even think about that; concentrate on how good it feels to be back in the gym and MOVING again!

Not a great tricep workout. Gonna have to rethink my 2nd and third exercises since skulls are now out of the question. Any input out there...

Wasnt going to post this leg w/o as it was just awfull in stregth. For that matter i felt it was down right imbarassing. However, i decided to go ahead and post it up. Gonna get a months worth of a lower back workout in before returning to squats. For 2 reasons, 1) want to make sure my back isnt going to fail out on me 2) if it doesnt fail out with the low back workouts then strengthen it some before putting the bar back across my shoulders with heavy weight.

Ok workout. Still getting my strength back from the layoff. But it is progressing so thats all i can ask for

Hoopie, stick to dumbbell pressing for now, and at a low incline. Try doing them with a stretch band strung under the seat - that way the press is lighter at the bottom, where your shoulder is compromised, and heavier at the top as more tricep and pec go into it.

Go higher rep for now, rather than heavier. Lactate - "the burn" - can be very therapeutic for joint injuries.

Will do thanks!! Never thought of the stretch band. gave bench a try to see how it would react. Needless to say i got the answer i thought i would get. Shoudler doesnt feel bad now but during the press it bothered it like hell...

The shoudler module of yours rocks freaking love it. Absolutely NO shoulder pain during my workout or after...Never thought i could have a shoulder w/o without pain...

No pain = good.

I had a guy at my gym thank me for that about a week ago; he told me I made training shoulders FUN again.

I was just charmed.

Hoopie, gains = good too. Lemme know how your shoulders grow.

Not a bad workout. shoudler really coming along with this workout. The oly bar corner press and hang cleans are a lot of fun to do. The hang cleans hit my traps so much that the soreness in them will give me a dull headache for a couple days. Love it!!!!
