Camaro's Offseason Journal

**CowPimp** · 09-18-2006, 09:54 AM

Nice workout there. I like the deadlifts. You probably have the potential to deadlift close to 600 fresh.

What's a pinwheel curl?

camarosuper6 · 09-18-2006, 10:53 AM

Thanks.

Dante's workouts are a bit odd as far as order of execution... but its working so far.. so if it aint broke...

Pinwheel curls are like hammer curls, but bringing the dumbell across your stomach up towards your chin. Hard to describe, Im not too good with all the pronated/supinated terminology.

Tom_B · 09-18-2006, 12:30 PM

I was wondering what they were too ..
eventually found this animation
Hope you don't mind me throwing that in here ..
ps your fucking strong as hell

I would like to be heavyweight division... superheavy offseason.

Offseason up to 275 would be nice. now that mike is doing work with me in the gym.. its going to be an exciting wild ride. He really can push me beyond myself.

The show is in April... but even if I decide not to do the show... I love the personal challenge of all this. I am enjoying the gym more than ever these days.

Tonight is leg day. :|

camarosuper6 · 09-18-2006, 05:35 PM

I weighed myself this morning nekkid at 255 even.

Looks like Im actually more between 250-255 than 260.

camarosuper6 · 09-18-2006, 08:55 PM

Tonight's workout is Calvs/Hamstrings/Quads plus one set of widowmakers (20 rep squats/legpress or extensions)

camarosuper6 · 09-19-2006, 12:15 AM

Changed plans. Did Chest/Shoulder/Triceps. My hams are still very tight from yesterday along with my lower back.

Weighted Dips w/ 135lbs strapped on x 8 rp x 2 rp x 2

High Rep Dumbell Presses 100 x 16

Smith Shoulder Press 255 x 8 rp x 2 rp x 1

Lying extensions 70lbs on both sides of camb bar x 7 rp x 2 (switch exercise)

Just as I go on a rant in Jersey's journal about how great my BW+115 dips were and how no one does that, I see you go and do BW+135 for 8 reps....very nice work

I know you are following DC, but are the high rep db presses your idea or is that part of a DC program that I just don't know about?

BigDyl · 09-19-2006, 02:01 PM

Is this really what DC advocates?

I guess it's HIT + RP = DC

camarosuper6 · 09-19-2006, 03:19 PM

In a very very basic sense.. yes.

The dumbell presses are for my lagging chest. I have consulted both DC and P-Funk in regards to furthering my chest development.

camarosuper6 · 09-19-2006, 03:21 PM

I have an updated pic as well... not the best quality, but ok.

Although I cant post it due to size limitations... P-Funk has it, and maybe he can figure out how to post it in this forum...

Looking fucking huge man!

camarosuper6 · 09-19-2006, 08:44 PM

Well thanks... but its obvious my chest is a weak point.

Suggestions?

I actually think that when you lean out it will look in better proportion. I don't think it's lagging too much behind the rest of ya. What have you tried in terms of bringing it up to par?

camarosuper6 · 09-19-2006, 08:56 PM

Nothing really thusfar

P-funk made some suggestions... I was thinking along the lines of pre-exhaustion techniques, seeing I think my shoulders tend to take more of the load in a pressing movement.... or decline bench.

Double D · 09-20-2006, 08:53 AM

Looking pretty solid Cam. Super strong as well, but I dont need to tell ya that.

camarosuper6 · 09-28-2006, 12:28 AM

Bump.

Will be updating shortly.

Busy schedule.

**P-funk** · 09-28-2006, 08:55 AM

did you pick an actual show yet? If so, how many weeks away is it? Have you planned out how long you will bulk to and then the when you will start to diet, add in cardio, etc....

camarosuper6 · 09-28-2006, 11:34 AM

I dont remember the exact name... I know its in Orange County, in April. Suggested to me by a guy who did the show and placed top 5 in the over 50 catagory (masters?)

My bulk was planned until January, where I would start tapering down.. giving me 12-15 solid weeks of diet time... but im considering the slower, healthier bulk and doing the show in 08 instead of next year...

Getting up to a solid 280lbs at 15 percent bf or less is turning out to be quite the challenge... especially the eating. The past few workouts I have been quite stagnant in many of my exercises and even after a 5 day layoff, have come back with little in the way of improvements..so I am adjusting my exercises accordingly and re-evaluating my nutrition/scheduling.

I am holding steady at 256... my protein intake is around 300 grams daily... and I plan on making a drastic 100gram improvement on that.

My daily goals will be 400-450 grams of protein daily... I am also supplementing with :

Daily Mulitivitamin
Flaxseed pills
Niacin (flush free)
Liver support Formula
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Asprin (for bloodpressure, 81mg)

I am also buying a fiber supplement today... and I will be including 30 minutes of brisk cardio on my off days for heart health.

**P-funk** · 09-28-2006, 11:36 AM

I don't think you need to be eating that much protein, especially if you are natural. Increase your carbs and fats (fats are very easy to get more cals in since they are so dense)....your protein should be good at 300-320. that is around 1.2g per LB of BW.

camarosuper6 · 09-28-2006, 12:23 PM

Thats true... I eat two hamburger pattis on the George Foreman grill every day for lunch....and those alone are worth 800 cals or so.

Good luck on your goals Cam. Great pic too...You're in pretty damn good condition.

Those Foreman grills are great. I thought it was just a glorified hotplate but it does a hell of a job. I'd never go back to charcoal or gas.

I used to do that to. I however got the extra lean kind. Not the best, but still packed a ton of protein!
