The Griffin – High Intensity Power Training Plan
Developed by Sean “Sully” Sullivan, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

The Griffin (Greek, gryphos, Persian, shirdal "lion-eagle") is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head, with upstanding ear-tufts, and wings of an eagle: as the lion was considered the "King of the Beasts" and the eagle the "King of the Air,” the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature.

Weight training is two-days on, one-day off, one-day on, one-day off – repeat.

On off days, do cardio.

Week Three – After the last set for each exercise, at the end of the first 25% drop set of 5 reps, do a second 25% drop set for 5 more reps. Rest 5-10 seconds between the first drop set and the second.

Day One – Chest, Delts & Triceps

Incline Barbell Bench Press – 4 x 5-9 (We did 4 x 6 + 2 x 5 )
Bruce and I did 150 pounds

Wide Grip Bench Press – 3 x 5-9 (We did 3 x 6 + 2 x 5)
I did 185 pounds and Bruce did 195

Dips – 3 x 12-15 (We did 3 x 15 + 2 x 5)

Lateral Raises – 4 x 5-9 (We did 4 x 6 + 2 x 5)
I did 25 pounds and Bruce did 20 (he has a little shoulder problem)

Bent Over Lateral Raises – 3 x 5-9 (We did 3 x 6 + 2 x 5)
Bruce and I did 30 pounds

Dumb Bell Press – 3 x 12-15 (We did 3 x 15 + 2 x 5)
Bruce and I did 50 pounds

Close Grip Bench Press – 2 x 5-9 (We did 2 x 9 + 2 x 5)
Bruce and I did 110 pounds

Triceps Press Down – 2 x 5-9 (We did 2 x 9 + 2 x 5)
Bruce and I did 65 pounds

Seated Triceps Extensions – 2 x 10-15 (We did 2 x 15 + 2 x 5) Free Motion Overhead machine
Bruce and I did 50 pounds

We thought adding a 5-rep set after the last set of each exercise to failure last week was tough. Adding a second 5-rep set with little rest between sets is insane. Yuh Gotta Love It!

The Griffin - High Intensity Power Training

Week Four - Day Five: Cardio

I weighed 165.0 and Bruce weighed 176.0

Combat Cardio - 5 cycles of the following:

Jump Rope - Two Minutes (100-200 skips per cycle)

30 Mountain Climbers - High step holding 15 pound dumbbells

30 Squat Thrusts - Trying to "dunk the basketball"

30 Push Ups - A total of 150 with good form

30 Side Straddle Hops - Like Skiing Down Hill

30 Crunches - Done slowly, with a squeeze

This is the last Griffin workout for Bruce and me. The training plan normally runs six weeks, but since Bruce's contest is five weeks away, we are going to focus on contest prep workouts and cutting diet until he steps onto the stage for the first time at the 2007 FAME SNBF Georgia Open in Atlanta on April 7th. I will continue to harden up and burn some fat so I can be ready for my Guest Poser stint at the NGA Mountain States Regional Championships in Salt Lake City on May 12th. My first bodybuilding competition for 2007 will be a NPA show in Virginia on June 30th.

Here is the poster from from 2007 NGA Olympic Gold/Mountain States Bodybuilding and Figure Championships (pro qualifier) in Salt Lake City on May 12.

Old Navy is Guest Poser for the show. I am going to do a Russ Testo choreographed routine.

The contest features a Junior Pro Class for Pro Bodybuilders (male) who have never competed as pros or who have competed but won no money. This is something new the NGA is introducing.

Wednesday, March 7, 2007 - 30 Days Until Bruce's Weigh In

Bruce weighed 176.0 and I weighed 161.6.

Today was a Cardio Day

We did HITT Cardio using intervals of 30-seconds of all out burst and 60-seconds of recovery. We did a five-minute warm-up, six speed intervals and a five-minute cool down. The tread mill speed for the sprints was 9.5 and the elevation was 10%.

Then we went through a practice contest. We pumped up for five minutes and then did two complete contest rounds of symmetry and mandatory poses (Bruce is entering two classes). We ended the session by working on Bruce's 90-seconds posing routine without music and did a few rounds of 60-seconds of free posing.
