I watch rich piana videos just to listen to him talk. dude sounds like he has a 12-egg omelet stuck halfway down his throat that he hasn't swallowed yet, and whatever he says just kind of works its way out in a heavy breathing, smothered struggle.

Since we're on the topic of talking videos, I always find myself watching old footage of Ronny Coleman. He was one crazy dude. Mr O and a full time police officer.

I'm also a big fan of Kai Greene, Jay Cutler, Mike O'Hearn, and of course Arnold just to name a few. Guys always post motivating stuff on their IG's and FB. They are all legends in their own way in my mind. Cutler for knocking down Coleman for Mr O, O'Hearn for being natty all these years (guy is massive too), and of course Kai for his very phaycological approach to body building. He might not be Mr O, but he has won the Arnold Classic and I enjoy what he has to say.

So I've come up with a bit of a plan for myself over the next couple months. Been tough sticking to a good plan this summer due to a little traveling, work, and being sick but I've come up with what I think should be a solid plan.

Nutrition wise I'll be doing a lot of carb cycling. I'll go 2 days low carb (bout 75-100 grams) with higher fat (roughly 70 grams) and 210 grams or so of protein. That puts me right around 2000 calories a day. Then I'll do a high carb day 250+ grams with lower fats (50ish grams) and keep protein a smidge lower to at 190 grams. These days will be right around 2200+ calories. Sundays I'll have a cheat meal.

Sup wise I'll be your usual proteins, BCAA's, creatine, and I am going to cycle a fat burner for the next month (Shred Jym by Jim Stoppani, supposed to be really awesome and safe).

Training wise is 5 days a week. I'm not going crazy with cardio anymore. Little warm up, steady state cardio 3 times a week for 15 minutes and then hiit cardio 2 times a week with maybe some walking on the weekends.

Most lifting sets will go 15, 10, 8, 6 reps and drop sets on some excersises. I feel this kind of pyramid gives me really good pumps. I'll do that for 3 weeks, then go heavy 1 week with 5 reps and below, then go back up with reps the neat week and switch up excersises and the order of them to keep the body guessing. Planning to do this for 3 months. Also keeping rest times at about 1 minute between sets. Maybe a little less for small muscle groups and a bit more for bigger groups.

Currently at about 193 lbs at 17% body fat. We'll see what it's like in 3 months.

Posted from my phone, so if the spelling sucks you know why. lol

Watched a dude out of nowhere tonight throw a bench clear across the gym. Luckily it was empty. Then Flip out cause a dude dropped a plate a little too quick across the gym and threw another and hit the guy. Had to break up the fight as it was only really chicks in there at the time besides Us three dudes lol.

Ive worked 25 of the last 28 days. Plus coming off my cold a few weeks ago. So Im slacking. Just meal prepped it up last night. Doing a couple days of light lifting before I get back to my program. Squatted like shit the other day. Worked up to 405, then down to 315 for pause squats, then 225 for front squats

[benz88]

Today is bench day for me. I do things differently, so its bench day not chest day lol. I think Im gonna work up to heavy paused singles


Also, I decided to find a new gym. So today starts that mission

[Average_Jerk]

Did like 15 sets on the old bench today. Worked up to 300. Then did pause bench (pause for 2 sec 1 inch away from chest) up to 250.

Emailed a new gym that sounds promising. Waiting to hear back from them with some pricing and training schedule info
