MonStar's Journal: Stopping the Madness!

Diana: Hey there, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate the support, a lot. I am going to try and stop the binging entirely. I think that just stopping the binging alone I'll drop some bodyfat, simply because I am not taking in this huge influx of calories, etc.

SF: Yeah man, I definitely think a training partner maybe what I need to start growing again. I feel like lately my physique has hit somewhat of a standstill. Obviously you can't go on growing and growing forever, but I always like to see progress here and there. I am going to try and get to 235ish by the end of this M1T cycle. We'll see how things go.

BTW, I completely agree that any bodybuilder can benefit by adding some very heavy lower rep training into their routine. No doubt about it.

Dave: Hey man, as long as our schedules work out I definitely think training together is a good idea. Would probably help me get a little more pissed off in some of my workouts with a spotter. I think that would be a good idea, especially on my sets of squats, rows, etc. But so far you're doing awesome man, hang in there. Workouts are looking superb, and like I said I think starting a workout journal would be a great idea. :thumb:

Jill: Hey, thank you so much for the support! I appreciate it.

Arnie's left nu: Hey man, glad that the videos finally worked for you! LOL, after sending them twice I thought you were never going to get them, haha. Yeah sumo style deadlifts I used to swear by. Not anymore, though. I am not so crazy about them. Conventional is pretty much all I do. Deep squats are an every now and then type of thing as well. I end up doing a lot of box squats, etc.
 
Yay! Finally got to see the videos! :clap: You look really hot and whatnot, but I have to say those videos made me laugh, ESPECIALLY the sumo deadlift, it was cute how you were wiggling your butt :hehe: :laugh: :funny:
 
The vidoes JUST worked for me-they didnt yesterday at work:confused:

Anywase, you are looking awesome. WOW you are incredibly strong!:eek: The decline almost made me pass out.:lol:

Now..........lets get some close-ups of the cute face!!;)

Things are going really good mike, keep up the excellent work. Im sorry that I dont know enough about the different exercises to give any decent advice. :blah: But I know determination what I see it, and you've got plenty!
 
Vivian: LOL, yeah I had a feeling you girls were going to comment about that. I don't even know why I do that when I am going to pull heavy sumo style, haha. I think it's just a habit---I am glad that the videos worked for you, though.

Jill: Hey, I think yesterday they were down for a little bit. But the ones that I posted should all be fine, I think. Let me know if you have anymore trouble. Thanks for the support! :)

Jenny: LOL. :D

angelpaws: No it's not a big deal at all that you didn't know enough about the exercises. We're all learning, no big deal. Thanks for stopping by though, appreciate you reading my journal. I have been a while now without binging and all that so hopefully if I hang in there everything will work out nicely.
 
Hey Mike :wave: Everythings looking great! :D
 
Andrea: Hey there, thanks for the support! :thumb:

Shoulders

Eh, sh*tty shoulder workout today, honestly. I mean it was okay I guess---but for whatever reason my shoulders were sore. I think that it was from the t-bar rows, as crazy as that sounds. That damn exercise made my midback, traps, rear delts, rotator cuffs, everything sore! I am going to have to get back into doing them again.

Seated DB Presses
4 sets of 5 with the 90's
1 set of 3 with the 90's

DB Front Raises
4 sets of 8 with the 45's

Nautilus Lateral Raises
3 sets of 12 with 160
Dropset: 200x7, 170x6, 140x6, 110x6

I wanted 5 sets of 5 with the 90's on seated DB presses, damnit. Hit 4 sets of 5, which is still a PR, but I wanted 5x5 so f*ckin' bad. Whatever. For whatever reason my last set just wasn't happening. I don't know what happened. I took a video of my 4th set of 5, and it felt solid. I mean I didn't feel weak, etc. Then the 5th set my strength was just gone. Could barely get 3. Did some front raises, and some Nautilus lateral raises, and called it a day.

Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk
- V-12 preworkout
- whey protein postworkout
- turkey & cheese sandwich, pineapple
- MRP bar
- chicken salad sandwich, apple
- egg salad & cheese sandwich
- peanut butter
- chicken noodle soup

Sleep: 7 hours.

Day 2 now of M1T, taking 5mg first thing in the morning, 5mg postworkout, and then another 5mg before I go to bed, along with my ZMA and melatonin before bed.

Mike,

Stopping the binging completely would definitely give you great results, but you have to take things slow. You already look awesome, although this is something you need to work on. Do you feel hungry at the end of the day? If so, maybe up your calories a bit. With those kinds of weights, I wouldn't worry to much about calories...main focus is to eat clean.
 
Jill: LOL, I am starting to feel that way now that I have posted so many damn videos. I am still going to get up some arm movements, and then take it easy on the videos for a while, lol.

Diana: Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Actually, honestly, lately I have been busy and just had no desire at all to binge. For whatever reason it really hasn't even crossed my mind at all. So that's definitely a good thing IMO. Tomorrow I have off from school and work so I definitely need to plan something out to occupy my time---otherwise I'll get bored and binge just for the hell of it.

Also, I want to note that for whatever reason today my appetite is practically non-existant. I am practically force-feeding myself at every meal. I am not sure what this is all about. Usually I am starving all day. :confused:
 
Hey Mike, I got a couple of new vids up on wbb. One with me performing a completelyRAW deadlift (no belt, no suit, nothing) in conventional style with 600. The other is chins with body + 90 lbs. Check them out if you get a chance.
 
SF: Hey bud, I honestly would have to agree with that to be honest. Simply because my appetite is never, and I mean NEVER lacking, lol. That's one part of my body that I can always count on. That along with my sex drive, lol.

Chris: Great bro, I tried searching on WBB and couldn't find them. Do you have any links by any chance?

I am really interesting in the chins especially. I'll have to get a conventional deadlift video up actually. I don't have a heavy 1RM video of me pulling conventional. I'll try and get one up in the next few days. I too, pull raw without a belt or straps, etc. Just chalk. :)
 
Just got back. Great vids Mike, those are just unreal. All the guys here at work were watching them too wondering if it was for real, LOL (They knew it was). You might feel crappy about your shoulder w/o but it still kicked ass IMO.

Lol...i learned all about box squats today myself ...and im sure my legs wont be forgeting about them any time soon.
 
rock4832: Hey man, thanks for the post, appreciate it. Thanks for the kind words about the videos, bud. I did the videos for a few reasons. First of all to show everyone here that I am for real, because I know there's a lot of bullsh*tters on the internet. And second of all to show everyone what kind of form I am talking about when I post my workouts, etc. Thanks again for the support! :thumb:

Arnie's left nu: Thanks for posting the links man, I really appreciate it a lot. I am going to most definitely be getting a conventional deadlift video up tomorrow, most likely. Nothing crazy heavy, I might just try pulling 585 for 2. See what happens, we'll see how my warmup sets feel.

About Chris's videos, they're absolutely SICK! Awesome physique, tons of just raw size and strength. I am completely impressed. Not flabby either, IMO, looks pretty damn solid. Lats are absolutely insane, look like friggin' wings, lol. :D

To those of you who are unfamliar with IM member, chris mason, I wanted to make this post especially for him. He doesn't brag about himself (which is a good thing) so it's hard to learn much about his training history, physique, etc. Especially since he doesn't keep an online journal here. ;)

Anyway, the guy is a beast, in every sense of the word. I am going to attach 5 pics that I just randomly found on WBB of his physique. Talk about tons of raw size! Lats are absolutely freaky---almost scary! You can see what kind of size and strength the guy has. It's really truly insane.

And as most of you will guess, I almost always take his training/diet advice, along with his back training advice. :D
 
Morning Mike :wave:

Nice pics Chris :thumb:

The first 3 pictures from the left are all very recent. The 2 on the right are 1-2 years old.
 
Andrea: Hey there! Hope your day is going well so far. I just rolled out of bed, haha. ;)

Mudge: I am telling you bro, the guy has freak of nature lats, lol. I have never seen anything like them. I think the shape of his lats especially makes them look even larger, as well.

Chris: Sorry I didn't included that. The 3 pics on the left look much leaner as well, have you been changing your diet at all? Increased training volume? I am just curious because being leaner definitely makes you look a bit larger.

Yeah they go all the way down to the waist line I see, like a Manta Ray or something :lol:
 
Mudge: Yeah man, I agree. There's an Arnold pic that I saw a while back of his lats, I think it was relaxed, and they reminded me so much of the pic that Robert just posted! I'll see if I can find it. If I remember correctly the pose looks almost exactly the same.

Robert: Agreed. Sick, sick lats. :eek:

Chris: I know this isn't your journal bud, but I had to give everyone some background info on you. :)

Legs

Okay, some thoughts about my current training.

I have been training extremely frequently, lately. Four, five, or even six days in a row without a rest day. I feel good doing this, but I need to break things up a little bit more I think. I am going to decrease the # of exercises per training session now, increase the # of sets just a tad, and try and add another training day. So far my training days are split up into chest/back/shoulders/arms/legs. I am going to add a calves/abs day I think. After legs I have no gas left to hit my calves, that's for sure.

Conventional Deadlifts
135x3
225x3
315x3
405x2
495x2
605x1

Leg Presses
3 sets of 4 with 1,150
2 sets of 8 with 970

Good Mornings
5 sets of 5 with 225

Good workout today I guess. Like I said I am going to try and limit the # of exercises, since I am training so often. We'll see how this works. This also gives me more variety to do different exercises every workout. Anyway, pulled 605 today. Noticed that my lockout is very, very weak. I have to really rock the weight back after it's 85% complete. Ridiculous. Did some heavy leg presses, and then some good mornings, and called it a day.

Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk
- V-12 preworkout
- whey protein postworkout
- chicken noodle soup
- 10" tuna & cheese sub
- 2 glasses of white wine

Diet f*cking sucked tonight. Appetite was just not there, whatever. I was pissed, honestly. :mad:

Sleep: 6.5 hours.

Day 3 now of M1T, taking 15mg a day.
