Nationals 2019

[Goodman1900]

Hey Everyone,

 

First day on here so love to hear from anyone with meets coming up, goals etc.  I competed a few weeks ago for the first time in almost 2 years.  Busy rehabbing 2 torn pecs.  1st time tore it off the collar bone second time a year later tore my pec in half.  My girlfriend saw excited I get when watching clients compete and decided to sign me up for a meet then tells me I have 11 weeks to get ready lol.  

Now, I am looking forward to doing the CPF Nationals in June this year.  Ill be posting training logs, diet, PED use etc.  Any feedback, questions etc is always welcome.  Prep starts this upcoming Monday.  I am aiming for a 2k+ total weighing in around 260-265lbs.

A 2000 lbs total is no joke man. That's good stuff. Are you in the raw or equipped division? I will be at CPF Nationals as well. Always great to have more people competing.

@rhynoplanet you should do some type of log. Good to see different type of athletes come out and motivate us.

Log+goodies and support from the board.

Thanks everyone!!! I’ll try to be active as possible. Life is nuts atm. First day in this week. I’ll post the session in a bit. 

 

Hope everyone is out there killing it

[Goodman1900]

After a busy week finally got in a training session.  Still messing around till Monday and the REAL programming starts.  Today broke down like this.

 

1. Comp Bench: 5x2 @91%  (this felt amazing, no elbow pain, nothing lingering and excited to start prep)
2. Bench with chains (close grip): 4x8 (really focusing on tut and building up my triceps and lockout strength here.
3. Pendelay rows: worked up to a top set triple.  Hit 405x3
4. Lat pulldowns: 4x20
5. Machine row: 3x15

6. Bodybuilding arms( yaaaaaaay ) lololol.

Later this weekend I will post my training split ill use for most of this prep.  I have most of it all planned out with my overall goal bringing up weaknesses.

Also, if interested, I will post my PED cycle as well.  I might get a little more aggressive this time around with bigger goals for this meet in mind.

Looks like a good session. Not posting weights for competition bench? Is that to keep us not knowing what to expect? lol. I would be interested in your PED cycle.

Week 1 Day 1: Comp bench

1. Bench: top set 8 reps @80% 
2. Close grip bench against chains: worked up to a top double of 315 + 80lbs in chains
3. Chest Press: 3 sets 15/12/failure + drop set.  My last drop I took form Seth Feroce.  Ill goto failure, drop the weight in half and double my reps.  I like this because if I'm    having a shit day and say failure I might only do 5-6 extra.  This way I have a number in mind and I don't stop till I get it.

4. Lat pulldown: 3 sets 15/12/failure +drop

5a. rope facepulls
5b. vbar pressdowns
5c. db curls

5 sets 15-20 reps

 

Today was a really good session, zero elbow pain finally.  Im finally actually eating.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a big eater.  I do about 20-30 min cardio every training day as well as core work.

 

As for my PED use.  As of right now I am only taking sus 350, 2x per week at 1.5cc per day.  Nothing too intense.  I will be adding in some other things in the coming weeks.  I try not to get too crazy.  If your taking quality gear the amount doesn't need to be insane.

Deadlift day is the best day!

 

So, this week hasn't gone quite as planned and honestly its ok.  I was planning on pulling Tuesday.  I have had a ton of life stress as most of us do, been one thing after another.  I haven't been sleeping, started drinking.  Nothing too serious few beers after work or a couple rum/dr.peppers.  But, this is out of the norm for myself.  I went in tired as fuck Tuesday maybe 2 hours sleep and tried pulling.  I made it to 405 and couldn't even get the damn thing off the floor.  At this point I kinda just laughed and went home.  I rested for the day, took Wednesday off as well and came back today and just made deads my bitch!

1. Deads: 80%, programmed for top set of 8 and hit 9 for a rep pr
2. Pendelay row: top set 405x3, then dropped to 225 for AMRAP (death)
3. Lat pulldown: 5x20
4: Hammer Row: 3x12
5: Barbell upright row: 5x15

I am not going to bullshit anyone on here, lifes fucking hard sometimes.  Everything is not perfect.  Work, life, relationships, friends etc all can get stressful.  Sometimes I get depressed, don't feel like lifting, want to quit etc.  People need to realize that the vision people put out there on social media is their BEST vision of them.  Fuck that, I struggle daily with a lot of things.  I am no where near perfect.  I fuck up lots.  Thank fuck for my girlfriend.  She knows when to kick my ass into gear and when to settle me down.  That is key to anything I believe.  Having that partner you trust to have your best interests at heart even when you don't!

 

Thanks for following me on this journey to nationals, sorry for the little rant here.  Might happen time to time.  Whatever it is you do, do it with passion and kick life right in the damn dick!!

 

Happy easter everyone.

I completely understand, we all struggle. I have a lot of shit I deal with but I keep it to myself and nobody would be able to tell. Anyway, what makes us all a champion is fighting through it and training on our bad days and pushing through the shit. You can do it, the mind it powerful if you just say fuck it and do it. Keep kicking ass man!

So I think by my calculations you are taking sustanon at 1050 mg a week right? sus 350, 1.5 ml twice a week.

I will be upping my PED protocol this week as well.  I will post that on Friday. Obviously I am only using BT these days.  Im loving the results im getting, my strength is going up quickly which is nice!
