Saturday, January 12, 2008 - Training for the 2008 FAME World Championships.
My training partner and I completed Phase I and Phase II of Sull'y excellent 15-weeks training plan. Here is Phase III, that we will begin on Monday. This is going to be interesting.

B. Overhead Push Press - 6 sets of 7/5/3/7/5/3

D. Decline Dumb Bell Extensions - 4 sets of 8-10
E. Preacher Curls - 4 sets of 8-10
On each chest/delts workout cut 2 sets the first week, so the 6 sets become 4 (do the first four rep ranges) and the 4 sets become 2 etc. On the other days for the other body parts keep at three sets. Add one set the second week and the third set the last week.
Take in 2-3 scoops of BCAA's throughout the workout and 2 scoops whey post workouts. Rest between all sets is 90-seconds unless specified. Enjoy and grow!
Sully

Friday, January 18, 2008 - Training for the 2008 FAME World Championships.
Weight: 167.4
Because my training partner and I took a day off from weight training this week, we will do Day Five of Week One of Phase III on Sunday afternoon. We are taking Saturday off because it's expected to snow here tomorrow morning. Birmingham, Alabama doesn't get snow that often and most motorists don't have a clue how to drive in those conditions, so we are staying off the road. I lived in Chicago, Connecticut, New York City and Northern Virginia and know how to handle bad weather. My partner is from Pennsylvania and he knows too. It's the locals we worry about.
Sully’s Mass Maker Workout – Phase III – Three Weeks
For this next phase we do a chest/delts specialization program so the volume is lower for every other body part.
Day Four - Chest/Delts High Volume
A. Decline Bench Press - 4 sets of 4-6

1 x 8 - 80 pound dumb bells

C. Cable Crossover - 4 sets of 6-8 with 2 weight drops for as many as possible
2 x 8 - 20 pounds
2 x 10 - 15 pounds drop set
2 x 10 - 10 pounds drop set
We only completed two sets because of time
D. Chest stretch
2 x 30 pound dumb bells
E. Seated Press on Hammer Machine or Dumb Bell Press - 4 sets of 4-6

F2. Standing Lateral Raises - 4 sets of 8-10

Monday, January 21, 2008 - Training for the 2008 FAME World Championships
Weight: 166.0
My training partner and I had a tough workout today. We met yesterday afternoon for a training session and pretty well left the gym exhausted. I believe the residual weakness was still with us this morning. We had problems with some of the lifts that were easier last Monday. There is no doubt that the body needs time to rest and recover. We didn't give our bodies enough time to do either.
Sully’s Mass Maker Workout – Phase III – Three Weeks

1 x 7 - 140 pounds
1 x 5 - 160 pounds

1 x 7 - Didn't do this set
1 x 5 - Didn't do this set
1 x 3 - Didn't do this set
C. Low Incline Dumb Bell Press (10% incline) - 4 sets of 8/6/4/20

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - Training for the 2008 FAME World Championships and Pro Showdown.
Weight: 165.0
Hungarian Oak Leg Blast
Since this is Legs day, my training partner and I decided to practice a new Legs routine we will begin on Monday and do twice a week for eight weeks.
It's a very simple plan:
• One set of squats
• Two sets of leg extensions
• Three sets of leg curls
That's it!
But the efficacy isn't to be found in the amount of sets or the exercise selection; rather it is in the way each exercise is being being performed.
Exercise 1) Full back squat:
For this first movement perform two warm-up sets of 6-8 squats with a bar bell that equals 30% of your maximum squat. You will use this same weight for eight weeks. After warm up sets, you can begin this workout from hell.
Week 1
Session 1.1: (Monday) 1 x 2 minutes Session 1.2: (Thursday) 1 x 2:20
Week 2
Session 2.1: (Monday) 1 x 2:40 Session 2.2: (Thursday) 1 x 3 minutes
Week 3
Session 3.1: (Monday) 1 x 3:20 Session 3.2: (Thursday) 1 x 3:40
Week 4
Session 4.1: (Monday) 1 x 4 minutes Session 4.2: (Thursday) 1 x 4:20
Week 5
Session 5.1: (Monday) 1 x 4:40 Session 5.2: (Thursday) 1 x 5 minutes
Week 6
Session 6.1: (Monday) 1 x 5:30 Session 6.2: (Thursday) 1 x 6 minutes
Week 7
Session 7.1: (Monday) 1 x 6:30 Session 7.2: (Thursday) 1 x 7 minutes
Week 8
Session 8.1: (Monday) 1 x 7:30 Session 8.2: (Thursday) 1 x 8 minutes
Use the same weight bar bell for the duration of the whole cycle. That weight represents 30% of your full back-squat maximum. The reps are kept smooth and controlled but the lifting portion is performed explosively, at least as fast as your fatigue level allows.
Exercise 2) Leg extensions:
Perform 2 sets of 30 reps; 10 reps with the legs turned inward, 10 reps with the legs straight and 10 reps with the legs turned outward. Each rep is ''squeezed'' at the peak contraction point and held for a second or two.
2 sets x 30 reps
Exercise 3) Leg curls (lying):
Three sets are performed in extended fashion. Do 6-8 reps with the maximal weight possible for that number of reps (at that point, just being able to flex at the knee is impressive since the quads are so pumped!). Then pause for 10-12 seconds and then continue to failure.
3 x 6-8 (with a 10-12 second pause, and then continuing to failure)
That's it!
At it's longest (week 8), this workout lasts around 20 minutes, the bulk of the time being spent puking and tumbling toward the different workstations!
My training partner did a practice round. I used a 70 pound bar bell and he used an 80. After this session, we were wide-eyed and wobbly. What Fun!
Plus, we did:
1 x 25 calve extensions - 150 pounds - feet parallel
1 x 25 calve extensions - 150 pounds - feet pointed out
1 x 25 calve extensions - 150 pounds - feet pointed in
3 x 25 standing calve raises - body weight
2 x 25 hanging leg raises
20 minutes of moderate speed, zero elevation tread mill.
A great workout.

Friday, February 1 and Saturday, February 2, 2008 - Training for the 2008 FAME World Championships and Pro Showdown
After 30 years working in the communications industry, I retired on Friday and took the day off from training and everything else. I enjoyed my one day of retirement. Today, I began a new career in the fitness industry by working with my training partner/client in the gym. I become a full-time personal trainer for the Birmingham, Alabama YMCA on Monday.
Today we completed Phase III of Sully's great Mass Maker Workout plan and will begin Phase IV on Monday.
We decided to do something different for the last day of this phase. Instead of following the plan as written, we did one set of every exercise on Thursday and Friday's plan and used the heaviest weight we had achieved on each exercise during this phase.
I won't go through the whole workout, but we did manage 225 pound decline bench presses, 70 pound flat dumb bell bench presses, 25 push ups, 10 pull ups, 50 pound dumb bell bent over rows, 50 pound dumb bell shrugs and 70 pound bar bell skull crushers. All in all, it was a fun workout.

It's also the first day of my new career as a Certified Personal Trainer for the Birmingham YMCA. This facility is located in a very upscale part of Birmingham called Mountain Brook. There are plenty of members who can afford and who want personal training. I believe I picked up my first two clients today just by walking around the gym and offering some help and encouragement.
Weight: 166.2
Sully's Mass Maker Workout - Phase IV, Week One, Day One.
We altered the plan by incorporating day one of the Hungarian Oak Leg Blast in our session.

Sully's Plan - Back Thickness
One Arm Dumb Bell Rows - 4 Sets of 6-8
1 x 8 - 50 pound dumb bells
1 x 8 - 55 pound dumb bells
1 x 8 - 60 pound dumb bells
1 x 8 - 65 pound dumb bells
Seated Cable Rows - 4 sets of 12-15
1 x 15 - 85 pounds
1 x 15 - 100 pounds
1 x 15 - 120 pounds
1 x 15 - 140 pounds
We will pick up a couple of today's exercises tomorrow, a Legs day, which we won't do.
Tread Mill - 20 minutes of moderate speed work.
The Hungarian Oak Legs Blast was a Blast.

Ive gotta ask Scott, how did you do any back work after the "Hungarian Oak Leg Blast" and then follow with 20mins of Tread Mill! I tried the "HOLB" last week, I almost died! Very impressed
