After a dissapointing experience with a major supp company its time to get back to traiining for a little strength and size. Started at 191 lbs on 28 Nov with DC training- note not really concerned with strength unless it brings more muscle growth, so I'm not going with westside method or any of the ME/DE band, chain stuff at least for now until I get a little strength back. I'm still nursing a bad hamstring too but wanted to start keeping track so I'll start with what I did to day;

Weight about 210 up about 20 lbs in a month lol

Workout #A3

Decline bench rest pause 255x8+6+5= 19 total reps
Behind Neck Machine Press 50x15+10+5= 30
Overhead tricep ext 60x15+10+5=30
Shrugs 585x6, 405x20
Rack Chins 45x9+4+3=16
bent rows 155x8, 95x12

Here we go!!!

I hate to here the muscletech thing was a dissapointment. What went wrong with it?

[jesse]

I had signed a 2 year contract for supplements last Nov. they brought me up to Toronto Canada in July to take before pics for a Hydroxicut ad. I was suppose to cut up and go back on Dec 6 for after pics. I went from 225 down to 191 in about 17 weeks but when I sent them the last set of progress pics they told me that although I had made good progress it wasn't dramatic enough to warrent bringing me back up for the after pics or continueing to honor my contract. I was getting $1000 a month worth of supplements so I'll miss that but I understand their point. I did make good progress leaning down but I was still at least 2-4 weeks from contest condition. I am 48 years old and natural, so I'm not going to make the same changes as a 20 year old guy on gear. I still was grateful for the opportunity and I did my best so no regrets. I'm just ready to relax the cardio and intense dieting for a while. Time to put on some muscle and hopefully a little more strength. I saw your 777 squat Very impressive.

[Brian Hill]

I hate to hear that. But if they were expecting un-natural results from a natural competitor then shame on them. As far as the squat goes, Thanks! It had been way too long since I had competed and even though I wasn't happy with where my strength was going into the meet, it felt good to get on the platform again.

[jesse]

Thanks Brian, funny thing is they sent me about $1000.00 worth of supps on Tues, guess they haven't caught up with it yet

Ok so I ate absoletly nothing for 96 hours or 4 days I went from 217.5 to 205.5 and I didn't train at all since last Friday. Today was the first day back and I'm still on a form of my fast Called a Daniel Fast, my part is no meats and no sweats until I don't know when, Still eating eggs, dairy, protein powder and beans and nuts for protein, but no meats for at least a few more days. I thought I would have really suffered with my training weight but since I've not really got to high percentage work yet it really didn't show to bad.

Hamstring still a little tweeked but things are going up I'm starting to remember what it feels like to have sore joints again ouch. Id like to get a mid 1500's total at a single ply meet this year.

[Brian Hill]

1500 would be pretty nice. Do you have any idea what meet you may try to do?

[jesse]

I think there is an spf meet in Ashville in Aril. If my injuries heal in time and my strength goes up I'll look at that. Ide like to have at least a 500 squat in knee wraps and belt, 350 raw bench, and 525 raw dead before working into my rage x shirt, and hardcore squat suit. Dont know that I'm sold on the the inzer squat suit though. What about you? What are you looking to total at your Norfolk meet?
