Matter2003 BP Run #3, This time the Full Periodic...

[matter2003]

I had an absolutely epic workout this morning, completely obliterating my previous record for weight lifted in an EDT session...in fact, I almost doubled it!!

I have to say that, I really would like to punch John Romaniello in the face for having me start out a Saturday morning workout with Deadlifts EDT style...this has got to constitute a form of cruel and unusual punishment.

Density Workout II

Workout Set A: Two 5 MIN EDT Blocks

Romanian DL: 155 lbs 5R x 9(6,975 lbs/45 reps)

All I got to say is HOLY CRAP!!!! Over 55,000 lbs in under an hour!! I cannot believe how much more efficient this seems than doing a 20 Min EDT Block...

The sad part is, I could have EASILY added another 180 lbs to the calf raises and done the same reps, probably added another 20-30 lbs to the DLs(maybe even more), added another 10-20 lbs to the Push Press, added another 10-15 lbs to the Flys...could have probably pushed 70,000 lbs, but since it was the first time I did this particular workout and it was in the morning, when normally am not at my best lifting wise, I played it a little safe.

My body is wrecked right now, only great part was I had a full cheat day til 8pm tonight, and took in about 8,000 calories or maybe even more. I got it in all day long and ended with a huge cup of ice cream from ColdStone...however, all good things must come to an end, and now starts 36 straight hours without food...next meal 1pm Monday...

Tomorrow I have a Lactic Acid workout...

[matter2003]

I looked at today's workout and see that I am starting it out with a set of 20 DL's, and ending it with a set of 25 DL's...ugggghhh

Getting ready to hit the gym in about an hour, will post log when I get back

[matter2003]

My body is a complete wreck right now after this lactic acid training. Slow tempo going up is extremely challenging and even 5 hours later, my muscles still feel like jello.

GH Surge II

WORKOUT SET A:

BB Deadlift: 185 lbs x 20
REST 3 mins
- could have likely done more weight, haven't ever attempted this many reps tho

WORKOUT SET B: 4 seconds going up/4 sets

Pull Down: 100 lbs x 10/85 x 10/70 x 10/85 x 10
Overhead Press: 60lbs x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10
Feet Elevated Plank: 45 secs each time(I hate this exercise!!)
REST 3 mins

WORKOUT SET C: 3 seconds going up/5 sets

Push Up: BW x 12 x 12 x 8,4 x 6,4,2 x 4,3,2,2,1
Bicep Culrs: 55 lbs x 15/45 lbs x 15/20 DB x 15 x 15 x 15

-this was the worst of all...started failing on pushups on set 3 and had to
start taking pauses between reps due to triceps failing...switched from EZ bar on first 2 sets of curls to DB's...

WORKOUT SET D:

BB Deadlift: 75 lbs x 25


Got home and took 15g protein and 30g of Dymatize Flud, which is all I am allowed to take in until tomorrow at 12pm...

Body was shaking and felt extremely weak, still feeling pretty weak after 5 hours...assuming that is the lactic acid built up in the muscles...

Looking at these logs make me realize that people like matter and Big.Jaz are from another f+king planet. U guys are made of some tough stuff. geez dude!!!

[matter2003]

Weighed in at 199 lbs today, down 7 lbs from start of the 10 day program.

Got up to do some steady state cardio today for 30 minutes this morning. Finished up my 36 hour fast at noon today and ate 9 oz chicken, 3 TBSP olive oil and a crapload of broccoli at 12pm, 3pm and 8pm.

Tomorrow morning is the final weigh in and I will post my results. Expecting to be 197-198 lbs, which would be an 8-9 pound loss in 10 days.

Taking tomorrow off, then will continue with the regular program for 3 weeks before doing another 10 day Rapid Meltdown...following the Warrior Diet tomorrow, before doing a Dynamic Workout Wednesday afternoon and following a 16/8 IF day...

Something I have noticed quite a bit is that my fat is becoming very "squishy". I used to have a hard time grabbing it to do caliper readings but recently I have been grabbing and pulling it very easily...it feels different for some reason, I can only hope its due to it being utilized...


I am excited to be leaning out, but I have to say I cannot wait until May when I can go back to lifting heavy and doing what I do best, and that is packing on muscle. I think even if I end up losing a little muscle mass, I would be OK with it since I know that I can get that back in no time flat since my body seemingly builds muscle before it burns fat...sounds dumb, but that is pretty much the way I feel...

[matter2003]

Final weigh-in this morning was 198.0 lbs, down a full 8 lbs in 10 days. I also lost 1.25" off my waist!! Pretty incredible. For the first time in a long time, I am noticing the sides of my abs and can see them flexing. Also, a ring that was a little too big for my finger but stayed on, now falls completely off with very little movement...

No training today, followed the warrior diet, eating an apple and 30g of protein this morning, then going all in on 14 oz of chicken breast, 6 eggs, 2 handfuls of nuts, 1 cup of brown rice, huge handful of spinach leaves, and 2 TBSP of olive oil.

Tomorrow is high-paced circuit training in the later afternoon...

Cmon bro, I am from WNY and you don't think I know where Jamestown is??

[matter2003]

OK, Completed today's workout, and I have to say I am hating this guy more and more each day. These workouts are every bit as brutal as the BP, but in a different way.

Dynamic Workout II

WORKOUT SET A
-Rest 15-30 secs between exercises

Left Leg DL/Lunge Combo: 35DB x 10/40 DB x 10 x 10 x 10
Arnold Press: 35DB x 8/30 x 8/ 35 x 8 x 8
Right Leg DL/Lunge Combo: 35DB x 10/40 x 10 x 10 x 10
DB Upright Row: 40DB x 12/35 x 12 x 12 x12
Pot Stirrer Plank: BW x 8 reps each way x 8 x 8 x 8

-Pot Stirrer Plank was just horrendous, as you put your forearms on a ball and then act like you are stirring a pot while staying in a plank position. Abs were killing me...

Rest 3 Minutes
WORKOUT SET B
-Rest 15 to 45 seconds between exercises

Goblet Squat: 70 DB x 12 x 12 x 12 x 12
1 Arm DB Row: 70 DB x 8/55 x 8 x 8 x 8
DB Fly Away: 17.5 DB x 8/25 x 8 x 8 x 8
Mountain Climbers: BW x 15 each x 15 x 15 x 15

-Goblet squats really activate core muscles...had to lower 1 Arm DB Rows after the first set, no way I was completing 8 reps each side with a 70 DB...Mountain Climbers really suck too...

Rest 2 Minutes
WORKOUT SET C
-Rest 10 seconds between exercises

Alternating Lateral Lunge: 30 DB x 8 x 8 x 8
BB Bicep Curl: 50 BB x 10 x 10 x 10
Push Up Plank: BW x 30 secs x 40 secs x 45 secs

-Never did the Alternating Lateral Lunge before and can't say I'm a big fan of it...push up planks were rough to hold that long especially after all the other stuff...

I am very tired, abs are extremely sore, and body feels drained. Came home and took other half of 40g Carb/40g Protein shake, then followed it up with 12 oz of chicken, 3/4 cup of black beans, and a few pieces of mango...

Thinking I am going to be feeling it tomorrow...possible cardio tomorrow morning depending on how I feel, otherwise a rest day...

[matter2003]
