Leg Destruction!!!

So I have been using Sunday as a "re-feed, or cheat day" to really load my body up with calories and glycogen. Then Monday I absolutely kill my legs. Well yesterday I really turned it up and I had 3 guys all training hard with me. It was a brutal high volume workout and I am really sore today! This is what we did:

Lying hamstring curls- first 4 sets were 15, then a set of 10, followed by a drop set to finish. 6 total sets.
Leg press- 5 sets of 20-30 reps, the last set I failed at 20 we increase the weight each set.
Front squats- 4 heavy sets of 10
SUPERSET- leg extensions for 25 reps with hack squats 12-15 reps- This was brutal for 3 sets
Sumo style dead lifts- 3 sets of 10 reps
regular close stance dead lifts to finish- 2 all out sets, I finished with 365 for 13 and I was fried!

I love a killer leg workout. The rest of the week should be a breeze now.
Body weight was 243.8 today. I have been as low as 238.8 and looked very dry there. Everything is going great!

9 weeks out

Morning body weight 240.2
Today is my "refeed day" so I will be eating whatever I want and loading up with glycogen and water! It makes legs very intense on Mondays! Training is going great, no major pains, but I did tweak my knee last week so its a bit sore.
Congrats to my buddy Guy Cisternino for taking 5th in the 202 at the Dallas Europa and to his fiance' Bethany Wagner for winning the fitness!

10 weeks out

Had a long and tiring weekend in FL and I am so happy to be home. I missed one session of cardio but managed to stay exactly on point with my diet. Considering I got booted off my flight there and then stuck in numerous hotels and airports I am pretty pleased. I had a couple cheat meals yesterday to fuel my body up for a brutal leg workout today. This morning I was 245.6 and I am glycogen loaded and ready to destroy my lower body!! Feels good to be home! Congrats to my friend Kat Ramirez, a fellow SPECIES athlete on her great placing in Jacksonville!

Jacksonville Pro

2 weeks ago I was onstage guest posing at the NPC Empire States, this weekend I head to Jacksonville for the Jacksonville Pro! After this I don't want to go anywhere other than the Olympia till after Nationals. This weekend should be fun though.... My buddy Aaron Singerman is competing and I will be there to help him along the way. Fellow SPECIES athlete Kat Ramirez will also be competing and I am hoping they both kick ass!

My training is going great. I feel I am ahead of schedule so have been loading up the calories on Sunday which has cased some SICK leg workouts Monday! I am very pleased at this point. Body weight this morning was 243.5

Empire States

Saturday I will be guest posing at the NPC EMPIRE STATES in NY. I guest posed there last year and it was a really great experience. Also this weekend is the Hartford Europa. Its a two day event and although I'm busy with the guest pose Saturday, I will be there all day Friday. Good luck to my client Jillian Reville competing in the amature figure and to my good friend Guy Cisternino making his pro debut in the 202 class!!

Team Universe!

I will be at Team Universe tomorrow all day long! Gonna be a huge show! I have clients as well as tons of friends competing and will be in the SPECIES booth so look for me if you are there!

Diet has begun!

After a week of pigging out which reached its climax on the 4th of July, I have officially disgusted my self enough where I am excited to diet. The diet started yesterday, July 5th at 253lbs. This is roughly 20lbs lighter than when I started last year and I feel I put on some quality muscle too. I would guess I am about as lean as I was at 8-9 weeks out last year. Considering how much I learned about my body last year I am really excited to be this far ahead of the game. I really want to have the best condition on stage!
More updates to come.
