Workout Log 9/4/16

Today could be called an 'assistance day' or to some 'chest day.' I'm not really into that mode of thinking. I like doing one bench press and some bicep and tricep work all together. My chest is so big now I don't like to do too much for it because it's just too big and I gotta live in this world! My biceps are growing too and following this workout I legit popped a seam in the sleeve of my Hulk shirt! What can I say? As C.T Fletcher so famously said, I commanded them to grow! 

Poundages were about 60-75% of where "I am," for those that keep track of that. I train instinctively unless there's a contest on the horizon so the pounds kinda just are what they are. Certainly nowhere close to maxing out on anything. 

Enjoy!

Always start with some real good stretching for about 10 minutes!

Elliptical, steady for 20 mins

Ab Crunches 50 x2
Side Bends w 35lb plate 20 x2
Incline Bench 135/15 x2, 225/12, 235/10, 240/10
Close Grip Incline Bench 135/15, 185/10, 190/10
Hammer Curls 25/10 x2, 30/10
Tricep Presses w the V Bar (cable) 100/15, 180/15, 220/15, 250/10
1 Arm Dumbbell Curls (standing at an incline bench) 35/15, 50/15, 60/10
Tricep Presses w Flat Bar (cable) 100/20, 140/15

A decent one for the day. Hoping to do deadlifts off the floor and back squats this week, maybe the same day. If anything cool happens i'll upload to YouTube but don't expect much-this is my 'comeback week.'

Don't forget to always give thanks and always, above all, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

The New York Pro 2020: Florida, the Temporary Empire State

New York Pro 2020, held in Tampa, FL this year. L ast weekend we were blessed enough to have an IFBB Pro show go off without a hitch this year, as so few things have gone hitch-free during the COVID Pandemic, as the New York Pro was held in Tampa, Florida.  As restrictions are not uniform and the state of Florida continues to be welcoming of all manner of gathering, the event was moved south this year and we have a brand new winner in Iain Valliere who beat out a handful of IFBB stalwarts and qualified for this year’s Mr. Olympia.       Since winning his first amateur show in 2010, the Canadian heavyweight had powerful start in the world of bodybuilding winning six amateur shows and earning his Pro Card in 2014. While earning a Pro Card in four years seems good enough, Valliere won every amateur contest he was in during that time in his homeland before traveling south to Mexico in his campaign to get the elusive Pro Card at the Amateur Olympia. Life as a pro has...

Mr. Olympia 2020: The Welsh Dragon Joins the Battle

  On the surface it would be easy to dismiss anyone competing up into a bigger or more competitive pool of contestants, especially for their first time doing so. Of course, to dismiss Flex Lewis, the “Welsh Dragon” and seven time winner of the 212 Mr. Olympia title for any reason, might be a poor bet to make. But is this year’s Olympia the best place for the Dragon do tread into open water? Maybe it’s the perfect time. This year’s contest is stacked, and while the favorites are the defending champ Brandon Curry and returning seven time champion Phil Heath, the last two years have shown us that the static that once held the Sandow in place for years and year, might have lost its grip. With two new champions in the last two years, the rise in competition could be the perfect place for a dialed-in Lewis to not only make a splash, but make history. Though he ran roughshod over the 212’s for years, he was almost always among the largest contenders-or at least those appearing to be t...

The Reality of Intergender Wrestling

  One of the highlights of the wrestling year came recently when Pro Wrestling Illustrated dropped their annual PWI 500 and gave us the first list comprised of both men, woman and non-binary wrestlers. In the weeks leading up to the release of this year’s 500, the topic of intergender wrestling had again hit the internet as if this dead horse hasn’t been beat to death enough. With the traditionalists continuing to battle the rest of the world in determining just what makes fake fighting feel real, one must consider what the fans think and if this war of ideas is ultimately good or bad for the business, much less the sporting aspect, of pro wrestling.     The concept of intergender wrestling was a novelty for years in some areas and a complete in others, as for decades the inclusion of “girl wrestlers” on a card was an attraction and not taken very seriously. In the high years of the Territory Days, legends like Penny Banner and the ubiquitous Fabulous Moolah dominated and...
