I lied, it was 845 pounds plus the "Fat Ass Girlfriend".

Sorry, didn't mean to lie (much)!

I "think" we only had #50 plates. If they had #100 in Golds then that what I used for the 1445 but it may have only been #50's

I just can't remember

Getting old. But I will Push Iron tomorrow for sure!!
 
:jacks: Heya Curt! I gotta tell you, I'm TOTALLY addicted to this supplement. On my 2nd cycle and going to hit it again after 4 weeks off :) LOVE THiS STUFF! I notice it takes approx 2 weeks for me to get it totally into my system (I'm only taking 1 cap a day) but OMG the strength is totally SWEET! Just ordered another 4 bottles (for me and TOH) with the 20% off coupon..

I'm loving Halo Extreme, too. Will be running straight into using Osta Rx immediately following. Enjoy!
 
^^^^ I'll be able to give you feedback, fwiw. Plus there are a ton of Osta Rx journals out there.

How's your contest prep going?

Prep is just about finished. I did my higher carb load on Sunday and was amazed at how good I looked. Then the tapering of carbs hit and just went very well. I am thinking of food on an hourly basis, but above all else, I'm exhausted. I have two more days of light circuit training+cardio, finishing touches on my posing, and just coast into Saturday with no sleep and a sticky, gross and 2 day non-showered tan. Do the show, and eat like a man in his last day on death row after the show :)
 
i remember how much shit my best friend ate, and pedialite he drank the evening after his show haha

Best wishes on your show, juggernaut! :bow:
 
On a good note, I am increasing in strength. Had worried over a 230 single a few weeks ago but got 215 for sets of 5 today.

Maybe that's an equivalent, but I definitely feel more confident with that weight.
 
^^^ you talking about squats?

I just recently started using Inzer knee wraps along with my belt. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it bro. You feel so tight and locked in, and more aware of how deep your going.

Knee wraps... hmmm... interesting. :thinking:

Yes, squats! Although that's a bench warm-up for many. lol

APT Knee Wrap Tutorial Technique - YouTube

The following from a 1980 article by by Allen Andrews.

Marty (Vranicar)'s present training program consists of 2 phases, off-season and pre-contest, both of which I shall elaborate on.

His training routine.

For example on Monday he will train chest, back, biceps and waist. Then on Wednesday he will train thighs, shoulders, triceps and calves. The Friday workout will be the same as the one used on Monday. Then the following Monday he will use the routine he did the previous Wednesday.

In this manner he feels the body cannot be overtrained and maximum size will be attained. During this period his workouts last between 2-3 hours, with 10-20 sets per body part, until very heavy weights are employed. To give readers and example of what I mean when I say that "heavy weights are employed."

I will give an illustration of a squat workout. Marty starts with 135 for 10 reps, and then hits 225, 275, 315, 365, 405, 415, and 435 for all 8 reps. That is not only power but also requires a tremendous amount of endurance and mental concentration.

Marty's pre-contest training program is somewhat different than his off-season 3-days-a-week program. Three months before a contest he'll start working out 5days per week, as he feels that 3 days will not give him the overall muscularity needed for competition. He will train 2 hours a day, with the the exception of Wednesday, which he reserves for specialization work on his calves and abdominals.

The following routine is the one Marty is using at the present time. The sets vary on exercises and body parts, that the repetitions are basically 9-10.

MONDAY AND THURSDAY

CHEST

1. Bench Press - 6 sets
2. Flat Bench Flyes - 5 sets
3. Incline Bench Press - 4 sets
4. Incline Flyes - 4 sets
5. Pec Deck - 3 sets
BACK1. Seated Cable Rows - 5 sets
2. T-Bar Rows - 4 sets
3. One Arm Rows - 5 sets
4. Lat Pulldowns - 6 sets

BICEPS

1. Barbell Curls - 5 sets
2. Preacher Curls - 5 sets
3. Dumbbell Curls Seated - 5 sets

ABDOMINALS

1. Seated Twists - 500 reps
2. Weighted Situps - until failure

TUESDAY AND FRIDAY

SHOULDERS

1. Press Behind Neck - 6 sets
2. Side Lateral Raise - 4 sets
3. Bent-over Lateral Raise - 4 sets

TRICEPS

1. Lying Triceps Extensions - 4 sets
2. Pushdowns - 3 sets
3. Kickbacks - 3 sets

THIGHS

1. Squats - 8 sets
2. 45-degree Leg Press - 2 sets
3. Leg Extensions 3 sets
4. Leg Curls - 3 sets

CALVES

1. Lying Triceps Extensions - 4 sets
2. Pushdowns - 3 sets
3. 3. Kickbacks - 3 sets

WEDNESDAY

Calves and Abs specialization - no set routine.

Marty trains very fast and rests just long enough for his brother to finish his set.
Vranicar's favorite exercise is the squat and one look at his tremendous thigh development would attest to that fact. He is also very good at the bench and has a maximum lift of 415 pounds to his credit.Believe or not, Marty is not that careful about whet he eats during the off-season.

As he related to me, "Anything that isn't tied down is eligible to be edible." His pre-contest eating habits are a "horse of a different color" from his off-season habits. Marty will begin strict dieting 3 months before a contest. The conventional High Protein and Low Carbohydrate diet used by most bodybuilders today is, he feels, the best way for him to achieve maximum definition.

Vranicar starts off his 3-month program with 250 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbohydrates. He will gradually drop down to zero carbohydrates 3 weeks before his contest and stay there until ___ days before the day of the completion, whereupon he will shock his body by eating everything in sight to jump his carbohydrate intake up to over 300 grams.

This practice, he feels, is responsible for the remarkable muscularity and deep cuts that he exhibits at contest time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
meals are seperated by 3 Hours except for the meal 4 and 5 during workout days.

Diet Plan: The Diet Plan is what will pretty much determine the Scale of your Fat Burning, During the 4 Months period we will downgrade the Carbs intake in 3 phases to burn out the fat and then we will Carb up during a Whole Month in a controlled manner to maximize the mass gain induced by the natural high hormonal state in which the body is after a period of dieting.

My back is feeling good on those squats. Not long ago I was hesitating big time on a 230 single. Tonight I got 225 for three sets of five!

The IronMagLabs Halo Extreme is doing its job. Plus I'm eating like a horse -- a junk food lovin horse, but a horse all the same. :D Was 207.3 lbs. At the gym tonight, which is the most I've ever weighed on any scale ever. 203 at home in boxer briefs and on an empty stomach. :mooh:

fat chihuahua is fat!
