Background

When I Started: no information entered
HOW I STARTED:

I started working out to augment my performance on the football field in high school. I went on to play in college, which led me to the powerlifting team. After competing in powerlifting for a few years, I have spent the rest of my training career geared towards bodybuilding and fitness.

Is there any question as to why? There is nothing like it!

My Workout Program

As part of my test-drive of this whole Anaconda Protocol to see if it is all hype or not, I am currently using the I-Bodybuilder Program created by Christian Thibadeau.

It pretty much changes every couple of weeks. The first phase specializes on the shoulders, second phase on the Back, third on the legs, fourth on the chest, and the fifth is a transition phase. All in all, I believe these 5 phases combined should last on average of 12 weeks total.

I am right now starting with phase 1. My week breaks down like this:

Monday: Shoulder and Trap Specialization workout utilizing Dynamic Activation and Capacity Ramping techniques.

Tuesday: Full Body (minus the direct delt work)utilizing Force Spectrum Ramping and Ratchet Loading.

Wednesday: Off

Thursday: Shoulder and Trap Specialization workout utilizing Activation Cluster, Force Spectrum Ramping, and Ratchet Loading.

Friday: Full Body (minus direct delt and trap work) utilizing Ratchet Loading and Force Spectrum Ramping.

Saturday: Shoulder and Trap Specialization workout utilizing Max Force Sets.

Everything is about speed...speed of contraction, speed of movement, speed of the transition, etc.

It would be too much to explain everything that is incorporated in this program here. Anyone interested can check it out on T-nation's website.

I am 2 days in and loving it. Could it be just the newness that I love? Very possibly. But I love the way I feel post-workout. Whatever the case, it has sparked some refound desire in my training. And the bottom line with any training program is going to come down to intensity and desire...no matter how it is designed.

I like his mass and definition and since we are the same height it lets me know I can accomplish the same if I really give it my all.

A Look Into My Daily Meal Plan

Posted in Training  :  Dec 01, 2011 4:46pm

My days are crazy.  Typically, they are long (I wake-up at 3:45 AM and go to sleep around 10:30 PM...but I do get a little nap in the middle of the day) and filled with appointments.  I make sure to schedule my own workouts in as well as some quality time with my wife.


Taking all of this into account, here is what my current daily nutrition looks like:


Meal 1 at 4:45 AM: 8 egg whites with 1/2-1 cup spinach or chopped broccoli and a little less than a quarter cup of reduced fat gorgonzola cheese.  Sometimes I will throw a whole egg in, as well (Omega

Day 3 - Back Destruction

Posted in Training  :  Nov 23, 2011 4:16am

Day Three's Primary Muscle Domination is the Back.  Additional training
will be done for the Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps with slightly less intensity and less volume.


I started the workout with 2 rounds of a simple core combination: Planks (1 minute holds) and Low Back Extensions (20 reps).


As with all of the "Primary" muscles targeted on each day in this phase, a giant set of exercises is used. This giant set is loaded with intensity techniques, too (drop sets, rest/pause, etc.). By the end of the giant set, the primary muscle is fri

Day 2 - Quad Destruction

Posted in Training  :  Nov 18, 2011 2:54am
Day Two's Primary Muscle Domination is Quads.  Additional training will be done for the Hamstrings, Calves, and Biceps (with some neck thrown in)...just with slightly less intensity and less volume.


As with all of the "Primary" muscles targeted on each day in this phase, a giant set of exercises is used. This giant set is loaded with intensity techniques, too (drop sets, rest/pause, etc.). By the end of the giant set, the primary muscle is fried.

Here is Day two's Giant Set of Quad exercises with the reps done for each:

Leg Press x 15 reps wit...
