Like I mentioned im 210 right now, relatively lean, ill post a pic in the upcoming posts. Look forward to anyones insight on 10x10 GVT, questions, comments, remarks are welcome.

BCS game tonight! Ill get some ice on the chest because it is sore after the bench work today wow. Thinking bout getting some glutamine as I move forward with this GVT program.

Keep it tight, heels down and push like all hell!

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

Well, I guess that?s why you win the heisman. Winston with a big last drive after a rather pathetic performance in the BCS title game.

As you can see I am new to posting. Going to try and develop a template.

Nutrition;
10am; shake. 30g whey isolate, banana, ice, peanut butter, milk, blueberries, ¼ cup oats.
Noon; 400g steak, 4 eggs over easy, handful mixed nuts. Coffee with coconut oil.
230; 200g chicken, sautéed green peppers and onions.
4pm; during training. BCAA
5pm; pwo shake; 30g whey isolate, 5g creatine monohydrate.
6pm; 300g wild atlantic salmon, steamed parsnips, turnips carrots.

Ill probably finish off the salmon and veggies later, or shake with the oats that is also left over. Or both, who knows.

My left chest is super sore from Mondays workout, iced it all night, will do that again tonight.

Today?s training was good, upped the squats by 10 pounds from the previous workout.

A1 ? Bb Squats; 205lbs x 10reps x 10sets (3010 tempo)
A2 ? Ham curls; Varying foot position. 100lbs x 10reps x 10sets. (3010 tempo) 90 sec rest then back to A1

B1 ? Db split squat; 70lbs x 10reps x 3sets
B2 ? Db SL RDL; 90lbs x 10reps x 3sets

C1 ? Calf raise on hack squat; 3plates x 12reps x 3sets
C2 ? Swiss ball hamstring curls; 20reps x 3sets

I always start off my lift in sweats + sweat pants, I like to have a real good sweat before my first working sweat, I feel more mobile and just hostile towards the bar.

My warm-ups are typically a couple minutes on the bike get my HR up to around 140bpm for a clip. Then on the roller and lacrosse ball. I do my feet while working the broomstick on my shoulders in ext rotation and chest. Then I will get my glutes with the ball. IT, adductor with roller. V sits, Cossack squats. Basically the limber 11 by Defranco.

Then ill get some dynamic movements in on the track at my gym. Hit a few box jumps to tell the CNS to wake the frig up and giver.

I am enjoying posting, keeps me accountable and makes me look forward to my workouts even more.

Kind of apprehensive for tomorrows dips. My chest is rather sore in a tweaked kind of way, ill monitor it as I go. I am enjoying reading other peoples logs.

Chew the bar!

I did…not to bring up the glory days but had a preferred walk on spot to a B10 school but I tore my right labrum so that kinda fell through

Organizing my training like this

ME LOWER;
A - ME lift
B1 - Hip hinge
B2 - Unilateral knee
C1 - Hamstring/knee flexion
C2 - Calf
D1 - Posterior chain
D2 - Hamstring

DE LOWER;
A - DE lift
B1 - Hip hinge
B2 - Unilateral knee
C1 - Hamstring/knee flexion
C2 - Calf
D1 - Posterior chain
D2 - Hamstring

ME UPPER;
A1 - ME, Horizontal pressing
A2 - Repetition, Vertical pull
B1 - Repetition, Vertical press
B2 - ME, Horizontal pull
C1 - Arm flexion
C2 - Upper back
D1 - Loaded carry
D2 - Shoulder stability

DE/Repetition UPPER;
A - DE, horizontal pressing
B1 - ME, Vertical pull
B2, Repetition, horizontal pressing
C1 - Arm flexion
C2 - Upper back

thats basically how im going to organize it, ill run the same exercises for two weeks probably. using this format i can also incorporate clusters and other strength oriented measures into my training, all while still getting hypertrophy work in and focusing on my weaknesses (hamstrings, glute strength)

dang, thats still sweet. i played 5 years uni in canada. did well, but like you said…glory days, i had to opt for the next best thing and coach

Tuesday, January 21st, 2014

DE Lower.

A - Box jumps; 36" x 3, 36" x 3, 42" x 3…hang cleans; 185x3, 185x3, 185x3…speed squats; 175x3, 175x3, 175x3

Boxes only go to 42", probably cant go to much higher now as it is anyways. need to work on front rack position. will probably just use speed squats and box jumps for DE lower. Hip thrusts were sweet, will start and go heavier next time through. havent done glute ham raised in forever because of my torn hamstring history, very surprised and thrilled i could do it, these will be put in all the time now. DE upper day tomorrow. pretty excited.

diet;
strip loin, 4 eggs, nuts. coffee coconut oil
chicken and spaghetti squash
chicken and sweet potato.

some greek yoghurt sprinkled in there, and some home made protein bars. basically just protein powder, almond butter, ground up nuts and coconut oil.
