I bet half of you didn't even lift today

[Grape Ape]

HA HA....sorry about that.  I can't stand the RPE thing myself.  I do agree, anything that high sucks balls.

My workout earlier this week was :

1rd every 10 mins for 4 rounds.
400m run
30 cal rogue echo bike
400m run

(you rest for whatever time you have left in the 10 mins....in my case....I MAYBE got 2 - 2 1/2 mins rest each round).  That 2nd 400m is like running in water.

Another day it was

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10  Deadlift @275
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Bench @ 185

Got it done in 9:22....fucking brutal.  (so you do 1 dead, then 10 bench, 2 dead, then 9 bench, etc)

Sounds awful.  But I bet you feel great an hour after it's done.

I'm two weeks into the program.  I have not been doing any distance running, so the running days are crushing me.

Sat was run 1.5 miles at max time, meaning RPE 9/10, then waiting 10 minutes and doing it again.

Wed was:
Run 5 min for max distance, wait 2 min, repeat for 3 sets.  Then do three more at max distance in 2 min......running like that sucks because it's hard to pace, you just go and gas, and it feels like shit.

Program description below in case you're interested.  I picked it because the workouts are under 1:15, I felt it was a challenge, I work from home and have a full crossfit box type gym in my basement, and have no excuses.  We'll see if my body can handle the workload, as I find 6x week to be a little much:

We've taken Juggernaut, an absolute fan favorite, and updated it to feature a host of our most potent training tools like Green PT, Cognitive Loading, and Isometric Holds. This demanding cycle retains the original aggressiveness of Juggernaut and now works to increase how effectively the gains developed in the gym transfer back to real life.

The 6 training days will see you blending in foundational strength lifts like the Squat, Press, and Deadlift, with awkward object carries and sprinting. However, this wouldn't be Juggernaut without some truly nasty stamina components!

During the Green PT sessions we'll be providing you an opportunity to blur the line between training and real life; requiring you to move, think and operate under pressure and fatigue, all whilst wearing your occupational gear.

For anyone who's already familiar with the original Juggernaut cycle, you'll be aware of how tough this program is. Consequently, we'd encourage anyone following this to focus on optimizing their sleep and nutrition in order to help maximize recovery between sessions. We'd also strongly advise you not to attempt to stack this cycle with any other training programs.

[Walter Sobchak]

Yeah - its my fault thinking any common sense will ever break through.

It’s okay.

I have to slap some sense into Wes every now and then too, when he goes off on a senile path with Bullshitter Bhank.

[robcguns]

Went in for shoulders ended up doing chest.

Cable flyes 5 sets
Hammer strength flat press 5 sets
Incline db press 5 sets
Dips 5 sets supersetted with

5 sets leg raises 20s

8 sets rotary calf press

[Titus Pullo]

Mike Mentzer had 17

Well, about 18.5" in his prime and in top condition; but irrespective of that, I look forward to seeing your contest pics. 

Brian, I wish you no ill will, but let's be real here:  bodyweights, measurements and all that shit mean nothing onstage.  In all likelihood, Jeff is going to kill it. 

[SF1900]

Chest and trap day!

Incline cable presses: 4 sets
Cable flies: 4 sets
Incline hammer strength presses: 4 sets
Flat dumbbell flies: 4 sets
Dips: 3 sets

Smith machine shrugs: 7 sets

Have you checked out any of the Chris Hinshaw Aerobic capacity programs?

[Grape Ape]

Have you checked out any of the Chris Hinshaw Aerobic capacity programs?

No, but will give a read, thank you.

I go in cycles - I use softlete.com for when I want structure, then I take a break and freestyle, occasionally grabbing a WOD I might see online to mix it up.

I am treading carefully, as I have a slap labrum tear in right should that I have to be careful with.

[IroNat]

Then stop trying to justify yourself to a lying piece of shit.

If Hankins had any real success or accomplishments at all in real life he wouldn’t need to be on here lying about himself 24/7.

Fuck that puny asshole - you do you and fuck him and his teenage boy looking golddigger houseguest.

Gosh, Walter, that seems rather personal don't you think?

[wes]

It’s okay.

Watch it Walter! 

[wes]

I will take, “Something said on a Shizzo/Goodrum date” for $300, Alex.

LOL 

[bhank]

Ok, so educate.

How does one stay super lean after age forty, when the training appears to be basic bodybuilding stuff, you eat tons of calories, and the cardio related activity seems sporadic?

How does that math work - legit question.

Are you kidding me? I have been trying to explain and help you people for 2 years. But no one wants to listen they just want to argue call me a liar claim it is all drugs and I am only 160lbs then they want to talk about my hair. Meanwhile every single one of you would be a jacked shredded Billy fucking badass by now if you took notes instead of arguing. I have tons of knowledge to share but fuck it right why listen to me I am small and weak and only in small weak shape from drugs. Or I have a 40 inch gut or only one arm and I don't know how to train or eat right since I don't do what doesn't work for you so it must be some magic pill that makes me look like shit.  I must be doing it all wrong since what I do doesn't line up with what you heard what you tried and what doesn't work and since I am such a crippled mess. I don't know how to rehab or eat or train or diet or stay fit. I just take magic pills. 

[bhank]

I was in better shape than his show photos 7 weeks ago 

Im currently full vascular, my bodyfat is almost where I want it and Im only on 60gms carbs every 24 hours

I am in better shape than you right fucking now are you kidding

[bhank]

You could post a photo like Zane or Flex 1993 and he will criticize you.   

How is a dude with 16 inch arms going to post a photo looking like Flex 1993??? Maybe Flex 2022

[bhank]

Well, about 18.5" in his prime and in top condition; but irrespective of that, I look forward to seeing your contest pics.

If Jeff stands next to me today right now I destroy him FACT

[IroNat]

it is all drugs and I am only 160lbs  I just take magic pills.

Finally the truth comes out.

[wes]

First light leg day since my medically imposed layoff:

DB Lunges - 3 X 12
DB RDL - 3 X 15
Calf Raise - 3 X 30

Legs are pumped and shaky......feels great though.

"fuck it right why listen to me I am small and weak and only in small weak shape from drugs. Or I have a 40 inch gut or only one arm and I don't know how to train or eat"

Exactly Right - You Make some very accurate point's for once.

You clearly don't know how to train -
You do have a 40 + inch waist
You do only have one Arm & Pec
Your Legs are Pathetically thin & small
You Do look like you take many drugs - a very unhealthy look / complexion
about you.
You're Very Delusional in regards of how you look as a Body Builder
Go take a Good Hard Long look at Tommy's contest pic's posted by coach
He completely Blows your physique to Bits - He by his own words is primarily
a Powerlifter - How would he have looked had he been Primarily Bodybuilding.

You Seem to like being Ragged & ridiculed continually judging by the
Things you post & say, If that's how you get your kicks Good for you.

Most would Listen to the Points / Criticism & likely Visit the opticians to get
A better Clearer view of Themselves - And Try to improve, Oh No Not YOU.

[Titus Pullo]

If Jeff stands next to me today right now I destroy him FACT

Again, I hate to quarrel with you, but just how do you "destroy" him?

For one, we've not seen what he looks like right now, nevermind how he'll look the day of the show.

However, we have seen what both of you look like onstage.  Jeff was ripped.  You weren't in contest condition, even though you dropped down to the light-heavies.

I've never criticized anything about you, other than maybe a case of bigorexia, and having ugly carpeting (which was sitting on other carpeting, but I digress).

Asked you a legitimate question, and you only bolded the initial part, and ignored the rest.

Based on your diet, training regiment, activity, and age, super lean math doesn't add up.......so if you explain I will listen.

Come on its simple, he eats loads of junk food and trains like a bitch

Thats the secret of champions

Its ludicrous to think that training properly and eating the right foods is going to get you results

If we stood next to each other at the beach people would think I was your fucking carer.

You're legs are a fucking joke. It's going to be glorious when Jeff owns the fuck out of you

He lies about all the drugs. He calls them bioidentical peptides or some kind of nonsense to claim it isn't a drug. He shifts definitions as he pleases. I think he started off doing this because he was worried about his court case and now he keeps at it either to troll the board on purpose or because he's just a habitual liar. Maybe it is a bit of both.

You have conveniently left out you have been on a full-blown cycle that you claim is TRT for over a decade.

In case anyone forgot 500 mgs every week. It’s OK though because it’s prescribed by three different online doctors.

Let’s not forget the anadrol for anemia. And the growth hormone for your anorexia

You can’t even keep your lies Straight anymore horseshit Healy

Have you seen your twigs that you call legs recently?

You have tried pinning them with gear and they are dead. The limbs  are dead. The muscle is dead.

You are better off in a wheelchair.

Let’s not forget the torn pec and gyno that could solve the formula shortage across the USA
