haha as long as you plan for the cheat day and make it epic! tonight the wife made tortellini stuffed w/cheese and meat sauce... so ill be noming that down getting ready for a movie tonight... figured id get some twizzlers and a small pop corn, wash it down with a beverage.. cheating at its finest

 

I know we're going to this badass seafood bar called 6 Feet Under before the game, so, excluding alcohol, I probably won't do too bad there b/c I'll get some grilled fish. The ballpark is going to be a different story....hotdogs, hambugers, big-ass pretzels

 

mm I wouldnt even count seafood as cheating, unless it was covered in butter lol... Stadium food is tasty but was never a problem for me.. Im secretly Jewish and refuse to pay those astronomical prices

 

Yeah, it sucks. I'm hoping I can just stuff my face at the seafood place and just waste all my money at the ballpark on Coke's (I'll be attempting to sneak in my own alcohol )

 

smart man.. its not too terribly hard tbh... just depends on your dignity O_O

 

meh

I DL in my vibrams

ankle mobility sucks balls so I needed an elevated rigid heel to help with my oly stuff

feel like a little girl who just ordered her first cheerleading uni

Sadly, I've got a number of techniques acquired from all the concerts, Georgia games, and Braves games over the years. The most foolproof is just getting a bunch of airplane bottles and tucking them in the waistband of your boxers, stuffing them down your boot (wintertime), or my personal favorite:



I'l be damned if I'm paying $11 a beer!

 

theres so much winning its awesome.. but I agree f that those people are criminals!

 

What pre-workouts do you guys use? I recently tried some Mr.hyde for the first time. I was very impressed. I liked it alot and it might be my new "go-to"

 

My 2 favorites are MP Assault and TSN Pump Ignitor

 

Thought id share this if anyones looking for a solid new program that will keep em in shape and get them bigger/stronger. Began my new programing this week. Prett happy with the layout of it so far. Looking to put on a pound a week for the next 26 weeks (6months). Im trying to make it to regionals (socal) next year for the crossfit games but im lacking the needed strength in my olympic lift area there strong but not strong enough mainly my pressing strength, cardio and my endurance is generaly my strong suit and im plenty good at gymnastics like handstand pushups and muscleups, i can work verry long at a near max effort HR and can move alot of reps that are close to my 1RM. So I was doing my own programing but i dont realy like programing for myself and dont realy need a trainer since i am one haha but i just wanted someone preferably with alot of experiance to program for me. I had done thr wendler program last off season so wanted to try something new with more of a concentration on oly vs pure strenth stuff. So I was mainly looking at programing offerd by Invicuts in San Diego, Cal Strength and Catalyst Athletics. But i ended up going with Barbell Shrugged cuz i realy liked the larr majority of media they offerd.

Basicly there doing all my nutrition and programing for me its bad ass! Programing is set up to be 5 days a week taking wednesday and sunday off. everyday has strength and metabolic conditioning except wednesdays because there heavier. And diet is pretty similar to what iv been doing already but i like it a bit more. Lots of veggies, meat, nuts, seeds, some fruit, little startch and no sugar or wheat. Now im adding a bit more startchy carbs to gain some size but shuld still keep my BF% low. Doing 4-5 meals per day broken into 3 equal portions of meat, healthy fats and carbs (mainly veggies) and then 1 bigger meal after my workouts thats half meat and half carbs (mostly startchy carbs vs veggies at this meal to stimulate insulin production).

Heres an example of what each weekly micro cycle looks like, every 4 weeks is a deload week and everyweek is different, but each week ill do 2 variations of cleaning, snatching and squatting. Heres a sample of what a week looks like.



Current stats iv got over the past few weeks to see how the improve are:

5'10
183#
BF: Pending (8-10% probably)

Snatch: 215
Clean: 285
Squat: 350
DL: 405
Bench: 225
Standing Press: 150
1 Mile Run: 5:20
5k: 18:45
Strict HSPU: 18
Wt Pullup: #50 poundsx9
Pushups in 1 minute (chest to ground-arms locked out) 83

Benchmark workouts:

FRAN (21-15-9) 95# thrusters and pullups 2:45

Karen (150 wallballs 20lb 11ft target) 5:45

Anyone ever heard of 6 Pack Bags? I follow Steve Cook on IG and he's a sponsored by them. Fucking awesome!

Downside: that one pictured above is $250

 

damn that's pretty legit, i bet its way over priced tho.

 

Haha thanks man! I like being able to throw up decently big weight then compete with the marathoners when we run and have more body weight strength than the 100 pound guys at the gym haha it helps me get a wide range of clients when i can do most things acceptionaly well and not just lift. Iv always had shoulder issues from a crash in a bike race (subscapularis and only negitive reps hurt it) and iv never realy liked benching but it will help my pressing strength so i wana start doing it again ha my bench is the same it was 3 years ago haha but iv been seeing a new chiro whos big into trigger point massage. Worst pain iv ever felt hands down but its working he almost has my shoulder fixed it completly in just a month doesnt help that the only way to get to the subscap is thru ur arm pit either because its on the backside of ur scapula haha. Ideal stas are

To get a consistan 315 clean and jerk
And 265 snatch anything over that and im beyond stoked!

 

Let me find the link theres another brand who makes a bad ass one for 80

 

Is that their Muscle Gain Challenge? I've been wondering what it looked like. Thanks for posting!

 

Sure is, more than impressed. They give lots of mobility and diet podcasts/videos exclusivly with it too
