Montego Prep

[squatster]

Just tried the video thing- so easy- pic came out great.
I need to start posing again also-
My budy shared with me the Lee Labrada app for posing- so cool
I always won 1st and second in every show but had always had a hard time with overalls because I sucked at posing.
Thanks for the tips bro- going to pick up magnesium tomorrow to stop cramping- I do construction out side

It'll probably help. I do 1 tab in the morning and then another in the afternoon.

Lower loading

Sluggish today. Have been waking up very early for work lately and not getting to the gym before I work like I typically do so, having to make myself find that extra gear.

Still seeing weights moving UP. PR=Previous rotation

Hatfield Squats - 455*10 (Pr 405*12) 455*8(same as second set last rotation) improved nicely here
Cable hyper (glute ham focus) - 60*13, 70*10 (PR 50*12, 11)
Duck Squat - 200*12, 10 (pr 200*11,9)
Adductor - 130*11,9 (pr 130*10,9)
Calf Raise - 290*11, 10, 8, 8 (pr 280*11,9,8,8)

Upper pump after.

The strength jumps are getting tricky to calculate. I like working in the 6-10 range and no higher really so I'll be increasing weights more for my next series of lifts.

I think it's important to note that these loading sets are not to failure. They are a rep or two short of failure. With that being the case, 12 rep sets would probably be 14-15 reps and that's not where I build tissue really.

Time to unpack that nasty hateful motherfucker inside me and put him back to work.....

Do you have a third set of experienced eyes involved with your prep? Not implying anything with this question. lol

Not quite yet.

I'm planning on taking myself to the ten to twelve week mark which will be relatively easy.

I've got a few guys who would be willing to give critique at that point I'm sure but just haven't asked yet.

What is your morning weight after the three S'es?

What is your morning weight after the three S'es?

It's been hovering around 247-249 until this last week and a half where it's started to drop to 243-245 despite adding in calories almost every other day.

The focus at the start of this prep was to get my legs, as well as the rest of me, back up to where I was pre injury so I have just been adding calories constantly with those being post workout. I'm getting leaner and. my legs have improved a lot so it's working as planned.

I've also stayed out from in front of the camera and mirror on purpose almost the entire first 5 weeks (20 total) so I didn't start second guessing myself.

Hormones starting to get too the upper elevation, training being very high intensity and diet being very rigid (no cheats) despite the amount of calories just has my metabolism on fire at the moment. Plan to ride this out as long as I'm getting the same results.

Update pics. Little over 15 weeks out.

The rest

Lower muscle rounds.

Still channeling my inner Dorian Yates lol. These were some INTENSE sets today. For those who have done muscle rounds, when you unrack your third mini set and you're shaking, you know it's gonna be brutal to finish lol. All of these were that way today. I had to stop after my second muscle round for thighs because I was gonna puke or pass out... I avoided both but it took a minute. I wish I could post videos of what these look like for the guys who follow FT. don't wanna take that chance though.

Leg press (low close) - 14 plates *22 (pr 12*26)
Leg press (mid close) - 14*22 (pr 12*22)
Leg extension - 150*23 (pr 130*24)
Ham Killers (these are fucking BRUTAL but I love em) - 22 (assistance on 15+)
Calf press - 300*23, 22, 22
Ez Curl close grip - 70*24, 22, 21
Knee raise - 24, 23, 22

Here's the ham killers. https://youtu.be/K0o-3Ii3Blc

So you did your legs then 4 sets of ex bar arm curls then knee raise for abs?
How did you have any more in you?
I have never looked at that way of working out

Yeah that was the order of training.

After the leg press, extension and ham killers I was pretty exhausted but just gotta push through.

The volume is very low though so it's really just 4 working sets for legs aside from Calves.

Game over....

 

[squatster]

Game over....

That looks so good
I had a big bowl of reese's cereal there a big bowl of cap crunch berries- 1 -1/2 hours later I checked my sugar and it was at 61???
Shouldn't it be kind of high?
It was good but not as good as yours

 

[montego]

Off today.

Meals back to trace carbs for the day.

Weight popped up to 248 this morning. I added a little fat into my post workout meals and that seemed to have done the trick.

Spent today trimming trees and dealing with all that stuff. Now we go to work!

 

[montego]

Broken sleep last night but for good reasons.

Wife must have hit that age where women become sexual predators because she woke me up twice throughout the night to have Sex lol. I obliged. This last week has been pretty awesome on that front lol.

First meal in. Gh in. Supps in. Dbol in. Time to shower loosen up a bit then go train. Upper loading.

Upper loading

Felt good today. Swapped my back and shoulder exercises from my previous rotation on this week. Machines were all packed for whatever reason.

Mid Grip pull up - 10, 9, 8, 8, 6
DB row - 150*9, 8
Incline DB - 130*10,9 (+1rep on each set)
Plate loaded shoulder press - 360*10 410*6
DB supinated side lateral - 40*20, 15, 12

Threw in a little extra tricep stretch and pump. They have been feeling pretty tight so I wanted to force some extra blood in there today.

After my Hamstrings cramped during "cardio [emoji16]" I decided to keep the lower pump out still. Not gonna press my luck there.... This is similar to how I had my injury last cycle so I gotta do some more tweaking to Hydration and minerals.
