well like i said 4-5 on average, 6k on a good day.

A huge eating day would be every 2-3 hours, just lots of calories; protein, carbs, fats.

Diet what off? The goal isn't sheer fat gain bro... And i don't want to start arguing with you again about it so leave it at that :p

OMG bro you're gonna get t3h fat with all those calories and no marathon cardio sessions!!!11!

jkurz, can you try to confine your insecurities/neuroses to your own journal?

lol @ needing some alcohol after trying to shop for a used car.
 
come on bro.....I didnt mean it like that......all I meant with with 5-6K a good portion will be stored unless you are a genetic freak......just take awhile to diet down and cut if you plan to....if you never do, thats great too....wasnt bashing you bro.....I'm tired of the 1-2lb a week max approach too......dont know what to do.

The calories are going to be used to build some serious strength that i'm lacking BIG TIME. pound for pound my strength blows ass... That's the main goal with the side goal of being bigger and leaner as always. I, mentally, will not and can not let my gut get out of control... that's always a given for me.

You do know what to do. You just can't seem to bring yourself to do it.


Eating chicken breast brown rice and broc right now. good clean meal... ketchup on it though. <--- you need to aviod this at all costs.

If I had your level of bodyfat, i'd be in heaven bulking and not worring out getting a belly that flopped over my belt line, lol.

lol, I could have used a (couple of) Knob Creek and ginger(s) but I didn't want to get a buzzzzz.

I practiced lamaz every 15 minutes, the stories these bastards come up with are overused, like this:

If I had a dollar for every time I heard "This beautiful one right here was driven by grandma and just used as a commuter to the city." I'd have a big swole piggy bank.

Yah right :rolleyes: fuck yourself you slimmy piece of shit....It was a 16yr old's first car that he learned to clutch on.

Tomorrow I'm heading out to do it again... but pre-researched, so going to see 2 vehicles at different places... hopefully less stress and no bullshit.

Multi vitamin Dual Tabs - 4 spread through the day
Flax oil caps - 9 per day (1.2 grams each) Fish oil after this bottle is done.
OxyCalm - 2 sprays 3x day or as needed
Yohimbine/Caffeine:- 2.5-10/200 (haven't experimented yet... "Y" was cheaper and easier to get than Ephedrine hcl so I'm giving it a whirl)
Thermorexin: as needed/rotated with other stimulants
AF Green Tea : 1-2 daily (occasionally for it's antioxidant properties) Almost out

Misc:
Potassium caps 99mg
Cayenne & Ginger

When needed:
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride 25mg
Yogi - Bed time tea (Works very well, unless you pop xanax like candy or smoke the greenery)
Ibprophen 400-800mg
Asprin 325mg

WOW u sure do have an arsenal there!

Wtf is Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride 25mg???

Also how good is Yogi Tea? for some damn reason i cant sleep as good as im used to because my house gets so fukin hot from the heat overnight that i wake up with sweats...i would love to sleep through and get a good DEEEEP sleep ya know.

Also how is the RedBlast Working out, i might want to pick some up for later....
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

AL: Thanks for bringing that up!! Haven't thought of ebay in a loooong time. I've sold a '01 MR2 spyder on there before, very smooth sale. But they don't have what i'm looking for right now. Going out to 2 dealerships today...

MM: for 3 bucks it's worth trying to see if you like it :) I sleep with my window open... otherwise i can't sleep either. Red Blast... it's ok, the focus was really cool but I prefer the kind of pumps I got from PureCEE at 5 caplets. if I want the focus i'd probably just use a Thermorexin, or a stim (ECA)...
Switched to "pharmacutical" fish oil caps... WOW my skin is clear as hell from that stuff. Added Tyler's liver detox too for health reasons... using a couple bottle won't hurt, i'm sure I've abused that organ plenty back in my binging days.

CS: :)

Week 9 Day 1 today... as long as I have time for food ect and don't want to go out boozing after dealing with salemen later on, it's Benching today.

it was so good, only thing I didn't eat were the onions... I always order it without something that way i get a fresh one. Tricks of the trade.

That jalapeno and cheese sauce one at wendy's is no joke bro as well.:) Can't wait for cheat day saturday to get here manoman.

Glad to see your auto situation is getting taken care of, hopefully insurance will or has already ruled it totalled and is giving u some good $$$ to put towards the down payment.

lol, one of my friends loves that jalepeno thing... i don't like heat, well much of it... if my tounge goes numb I can't enjoy the food :lmao:

Yeah, it's taken care of... and will be finalized Saturday at the latest :)
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

:sick: You call that a reward meal? Good call on planning to pull a BiggT by going to/getting kicked out of buffets, though.

Good to see you finished your car shopping and got the workout in. With a solid caloric surplus, you should make some nice progress.
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

Thanks AL!! yeah the crunches are going very well, if i'm not careful though i feel my back get "tweaked" :worried: ... doesn't feel good. But the ab strength is definetly coming up to par finally!!!

lol, PWO reward meal... aka, not a protein shake :)

yeah, i need to destroy some breakfast buffets, i'm feelin' 2 omletes, 2 waffels, a short stack of chocolate chip...mmm, and some well done, burnt bacon, just the way i like it :D

Hey thanks... I'm hoping so. I have 2 months before going back to school full time at nights again (finally). Then I'll be working only part time so I have time to train and eat.... no car payment this time, paid in full... i'm hoping to be McDezzie by summer... well, that is if I end up dieting :rainbow:

Are you doing weighted hypers?
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

I have added a bit of a twist on the hypers....


One you come up so that the back/hams are straight......focus on flexing the hams and glutes to continue bringing the upper body beyond the straight line.....allow the knees to bend a bit and it REALLY REALLY hammers the hammies
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

Sarge what state are you in?

I never need to cheat, I just live vicariously through YOU! lol.....maybe maybe this weekend, if I start, I wont stop.

As far as BIGT, I'm in touch with him...he's doing well....took a week off due to a stomach illness.....he's dropping weight faste than JKurz...

AL: No. I can do those all day with loads of weight. I'll start doing GM's again soon no doubt.

TS: Isn't that what a hyper is? Hyper extending beyond being straight? ... either way, lol... that's what i used to do when i'd do 'em :)

JK: I'm in Patriots territory, New England... why? lol, you do NEED to reward yourself, it's not cheating, it's eating. Good stuff, i was wondering what the hell was up with him. Send him best wishes bro... hope he heals up soon, never fun being sick.
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

Why are everyone's logs all about food today:( I want a classic triple with cheese. BTW..went to the wendy's web site out of curiosity... 970 cals, 59 grams of fat, 38g carbs, 70g protein, and 100% pure fast food goodness.

You're gonna be hitting 230 in the a.m. no problem bro.

From the top portion on..the back angle isnt changing...its the flexing of the hams that continues the motion.....shoulders to lumbars = no change in angle....

on a 45 degree hyper, of course, you cant get perp to the floor...but the movement is the same

It's a true gem, amazing condition. Though going to have it gone through next week and fully serviced to make sure it's all set. I may have to run some flow 40's through 2.5 pipe :evil: we'll see how that fits into my budget. K & N for sure, I've done that for all my vehicles.

had a good workout today, splitting up my Day 4 (on day 3 and day 4)

Delts were today... i'll go back in tomorrow for a quick chest workout part II.

Week 9 Day 3
Football Sunday.. GO PATS!!
1.14.2007

BTN Push Press: Barx8, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 165x3*
*haven't done these for a while. Almost dumped one of the reps there, glad it didn't tear out my rotator. I deff hit my noggen on the first set... just the bar thankfully, lol... I'll get my groove back in a few weeks. Note: Using a belt on the heavier sets as to avoid more waist thickness.

Seated DB OHP: 45's x8, 60's x5, 65's x5, 70's x5

DB Side Raises: 20's x8, 25's x8, 30's x8

Seated, Bent over DB Row (Posterior Delt): 25's for 10, 25's for 8*
* A la Shadow. Man those are hard, i could barely breathe with my chest on my legs... when i dropped the DB's it was like i was coming out of water for air, lol.

Decline Abs: +15x8, x8

Cardio: 8 minutes on the treadmill at 3.7



... I ate a bunch of shitty food yesterday and had a shitty food hangover this morning. Didn't eat enough though... weight not budging... damn, it's getting hard to get to over 230 mark consistanly, i'll start packing PB & J's too for this week like the Bigg T'ster. I am only 2 weeks back... once I start getting PR's again... it'll be easier to eat a lot too. My body will crave food and i'll be a eating machine.

Face isn't bloated one bit, so that's good... i'm not too fat :p

Inhale....lift....exhale on the way down.....pause between each rep.

If you think about the tempo in the way that you would do deads, resettingbetween each rep, you will have it.

REMEMEMBER - you arent extending your forearms to the sides......the palms face behind you the entire time...at the top of the lift...the upper arms should be parallel to the floor and the forearms perpendicular.

Ah, yah the tempo...it may take me a few times to get that groove. I have the form down right.

I'll continue with them.

JP: 225.5lbs this am post liquid release. It's getting retardedly hard to gain now, I can eat all day then i feel like a fat pig and stop... it's a serious mind game.
Thanks man, getting back in the groove with them. It's a great lift. No, I think i was 221 or something last pics, so I won't take pics unless i recomp big time to be really lean at 220 or i'll just take some more up around 240 hopefully.


Yesterday and today off from work too, so had more sleep... and less meals, lol

Shadow: Sounds good. I don't doubt it :evil:

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

Sarge you gotta find a way to eat a ton more right before bed...maybe ur biggest meal besides breakfast and post-workout that always ups those morning scale numbers but good.

Using a belt is the first step on the road to quarter-squatting with a Manta Ray in full-body UA.

I probably asked this question 50 pages ago and forgot the answer, but how tall are you, sarge?
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

AL: http://www.inzernet.com/detail_belt.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FOREVERBELTS_BUCKLE10MM

I went with the 10mm and not the 13mm thickness cuz i'm not going to be PL'ing with it and want it to mold to me quickly/break in faster. Got the 2 prong cuz my old leather-cheapo-Gold'sGym-tapered belt is 2 prong and i like it like that. It's time to retire the 8 year old belt...

It better be at my door tomorrow... i'm bumping tonights workout to use it tomorrow night. There are other reasons, but that's one, lol.

CS: full body UA would come in handy in this 19* weather good idea!! :p

Post 1, it should be in my stats 6' with socks on, 6'1" with shoes.

I have a similar frame build to BiggT ... we wear the same sleeve length in dress shirts (36") too.

lol, that should've been the first place I looked.

So the back issues during the last WO were the residual effect of deads? Have you noticed any improvement as your abs have become stronger? Also, give this stretch a try. You might be surprised by how much of a stretch you'll feel in your lower back if you've never done the stretch before.

inzer 10 mm is what I use and although he rarely comes out the bag, it really is a solid belt when used on heavy top end sets...highly recommend it
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

:)

I believe that cuppled with the lack of religious streching is reaking havoc on me now.. lol... i'm getting back in the stretching habit, it reminds me when I don't. Obviously :(

Well, I see improvements... then i try something and fuck it all up. My abs are 10 times stronger than before for sure.

Now I'm having mid-upper spine alignment issues. I believe it's all the chest work i'm doing and not hitting the direct antagonists to my pecs enough. So i'm doing close grip seated cable rows to help in that department. Also, my left lat is smaller than my right and may be causing some imbalance and odd pulling problems too.

friggin' imbalances.

Visual I could care less if it's a bit smaller... but it causes me pain.

So I may have to do some 1 arm DB rows and try to bring my left lat up to par and do "maintenace" rows for my right side.

CS, thanks for that stretch link. That's a good one... just did it along with my other one's. That one hurt... but felt good :evil:

nice, good to hear. Mine used to have a happy home in the gym bag too bro... it's gotta come out more nowadays sadly.

Good afternoon CK-tweezy :wavey:

*Bunny* ...MY FAVORITE!!! How'd you know!??!!

lol... btw: they let me know it was just the armor-all junk burning from over spray.
 
Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

really?

I drink soda occasionally... diet sprite zero is the drink of choice if i'm going to.

I probably posted a couple regular sodas just to post it, lol :p

If it's other than water it's this order... for the record :)

1a. 100% juice (grapefruit or OJ usually)
1b. Milk
2. Diet soda
3. Coffee - rare (once a month max on average i'd say)

Juice is my crutch no doubt. I love sweet-tarty-bitter juice :evil:

Great ideer... when I deem it appropriate and want to start cutting most of all the simple crap sugar carbs out of my diet that'll be a quality start :)

My new belt is purty :heart:

stiffer than rigimortis himself... going to use Illuminati's breaking in technique i found posted.

Week 9 Day 5 - last day of week 9, 6 & 7 are off/cardio if i get my arse to the gym for it.
HHD
1.17.2007

Leg Ext & Leg Curlzzz: 90x12, 110x10

Front Squat: Barx8, 95x8, 115x8... back toast.

*new belt on* ... still had to lay down for a few every so often, fuggin' back.

Decline abs:
+20x8, +20x8, +25x8 ... i'm going with 30lbs next time, i'm getting good at these, I notice it does help my back during the workout too.

Farmer's:
95's, 105's, 115's, 115's .... all 30 paces

Barbell shrugs: 225x10, 275x10, 315x10*, 375x8, 225x8, 135x8
*DB shrugs 100's x15

... ok, every frickin' Day 5 it's shrugmania instead of leg day cuz my back bails out. I asked a fellow lifter if he was done in the rack (he had a barbell on the floor in front of it) ... he said almost, i go i'm just going to load up a bar for some shrugs in there. And so nicely he goes yeah cool, i can just roll my bar back for you... and then he said: "looks like you don't need to do shrugs anymore man" ... (I smiled said thanks I think..) he's got a good point. I really don't...

I just have the inate urge to pull heavy and that's the only way I can right now... I thought up of possibly using the supported T-Bar row for shrugs at that angle and it'll help my mid-back alignment issues as well hopefully, so I'm going to try that next time instead.

. i feel like my legs are shrinking from non-use...

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!... i'm fucking annoyed I can't squat like before.
