I usually break out the wrist straps when I can't grip anymore. I'm trying to wean myself off, but there's no way I'm doing full rotation knee raises without them. You have to be some kind of spider monkey to pull that off. Back days I leave them off until about halfway through the last superset.

Isn't that the truth!

I was able to do them when I first started.. 186 lbs. But after I started hitting my bulk weight of 195 lbs.. I couldn't do them without grip issues.

Straps, hooks, or work on grip strength. But personally, I can't hang there and work on abs when 90% of my focus is trying to hold on.

Good one Nav. Spider monkey...heheh

I hate this day.

I felt a little more energetic today than the past few days, but still weak. I was able to keep up with the pace, but there's no way I could have gone any faster. I did more heavy breathing today than a cardio workout. I decided to hold a plate while doing calves, which helped with difficulty. I had a powerful beginning followed by a good set of squats. I am getting explosive at the bottom, so soon I will be pounding gobs of weight all the way from a crouch.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-leftover chicken breast and rice
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, blueberry yogurt, carrots
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado w/tuna&Canola mayo
supper-Kraft mac&cheese (olive oil instead of butter) with ground turkey
nighttime-skim milk and cottage cheese

Did some more research. I pay slightly more for frozen chicken breast, but the taste far surpasses the rotten excuse for canned chicken breast. I wouldn't feed that crap to Saddam. I am getting hungrier, so my body is compensating. I think I'll write to the manufacture to see if I can get an upgrade to Nav 2.0, though. 1.0 just isn't cutting it. 200 on the scale last night. I got up to pee about a bazillion times, so I ended up at 194 this morning.

I managed to fart out every last rep without the aid or wrist straps, so that's a feather in lil Nav's cap. That's not to say that my grip wasn't petering out. That pulldown bar was tough to hang on to. I find that if you imagine your wee wee stuck in the plate stack it becomes easier to maintain a sturdy grip for fear of dropping the weight. Good energy, great pump today. Hydration sucked starting out, but I managed to catch up. Now I am peeing every time I even think about it. I don't care about the numbers today. Form historically is key to me getting a good back workout. My body just doesn't respond to pissy rows.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, boiled egg
lunch-leftover turkey mac&cheese, boiled egg
after workout-canned chicken w/hot mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, strawberry yogurt, carrots
supper-catfish, spinach, and leftover turkey mac
nighttime-tuna&Canola mayo and milk

Yep, my appetite is back. I hit the magic 200 lbs last night. Though the workouts are still rather tough I think I am just about fully recovered. I need to get more sleep before I go into overtraining, though. Week three could be hell if I'm already overtraining. I am so tired of peeing. I'm getting a catheter.

Week 1 down. I am sore. It was a good tough workout today with great form. I need to concentrate a little more on flexing the chest, though, especially since only two supersets are dedicated. Only two. Can't believe I said that. You don't catch anyone saying, "Whew! Glad that truck only hit me twice." Or, "That lightning sure hurts. Good thing it only struck me two times." Time for another challenging weekend of keeping myself from becoming crippled or mortally wounded by extracurricular activities. BTW, the wee wee trick doesn't work on full rotation knee raises. I'm afraid mini Nav is in trouble if it ever comes to that.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, boiled egg
lunch-tuna sandwich
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, strawberry yogurt, carrots
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado w/tuna&Canola mayo
dinner-spaghetti with turkey meat
nighttime-cottage cheese and skim milk

Events last night prevented me from eating the way I should have. There is never an excuse for me to be hungry at any point throughout the day. Time for another understatement: This program is a royal pain in the ass to stick to properly. Good thing I'm stubborn.

Well, this is as fast as I can do it. This is just the right amount of exercise and rest. Sounds like I'm smoking crack, but I have reached the point where this kind of day feels great. One thing I notice is that the harder the workout, the more important that strict form is an ingrained habit. I found myself slacking a few times and had to wake it up. Doing the Arnolds at the end is a real pain. I'm finding myself in between numbers on weight. Sometimes 30s are too much and 25s don't quite cut it. Same thing with the 20s and 25s. Another interesting aspect is the arm raises that force full extension away from the body. I couldn't possibly hold that position, so slowing the descent is a real joy until I get to about 45 degrees. I don't have any problem rocketing it back up to full boner without jerking, though. Boy, if that wasn't a Nav quote. Don't take that one out of context. Anyway, proper form? It's going to have to do.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oat Bran w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, boiled egg
lunch-leftover chicken and wild rice
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, blueberry yogurt, carrots, banana
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado and cottage cheese
supper-turkey cheeseburger, corn, some fries(just a few)
nighttime-milk and tuna w/Canola mayo

Diet sucked over weekend. I need to keep eating over the holidays to prevent having to catch up during the week. I'm getting it dietwise, but I just need to refine things.

Reverse Press-Downs create an awkward thumb position that hurts my wrist right where that metacarpal is located. If I can maintain a decent underhand grip it isn't so much a factor, but once the forearms give that's it. I'm going to have to drop one of the two first exercises for a non-forearm movement because it's just too much. The gym monkeys were here again today. They left the place looking like a battlezone. I know it's tough to lift those big bad 100 lb dumbbells, especially when you shouldn't be working them in the first place, but your mother doesn't work here and the maid was fired weeks ago.

Well the gauntlet has been thrown. Apparently some unnamed individuals think Nav a bit silly because I suggested 20 lbs in six months as a goal. For a young guy on this program it would be easy. Let's see if a 32 year old can do it. Guess what. In six months I will be 20lb heavier, and I'm not talking fat. Do you hear me????? Ready...Set...

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-tuna sandwich
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, blueberry yogurt, carrots, banana
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado and cottage cheese
dinner-chicken casserole
nighttime-tuna w/canola mayo and milk

Barring distractions, I'm gradually getting this diet perfect. I'm doing my best to make sure I am meeting my daily requirements, but spacing the protein out is difficult. Now that I have a new goal it will be a breeze.

In between catching my breath, getting water, and switching weights I was supposed to motivate myself to lift hard with good form. I would have had better luck holding a conversation with Pam Anderson while maintaining eye contact. Great power at the beginning with those extensions and curls, yee haw. Where did that comd from of a sudden? All it took was a set of squats to show me who was boss, though. I just about passed out. Seven supersets later I was done, no doubt. I need to get it together and toughen up for this day.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-leftover casserole
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, strawberry yogurt, carrots, banana
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado and cottage cheese
dinner-Linguine with turkey and marinara
nighttime-tuna w/canola mayo and milk

Edited-opted for spaghetti-style linguine. 195 on the scale this morning. That means that on the 12th of June this year I will see a number 215 or higher. If I get there earlier, I'll keep going to see how high it goes. Never tell me there's something I can't do. You'll be incorrect.

Instead of Hanging Rows they should be called Hanging Grip Nullifiers. I was using straps by the second superset, for cryin out loud. I don't know if they had the heat on in there or what but this was one hairy ballsweat rainforest saunas of a day in the Navy gym. I couldn't even remember to concentrate on squeezing my blades together until the 3rd superset. And that freak-ass jockey row! That thing belongs in the 10 wierdest exercises post. Oh cool, and next week I get to experience death by stubborn idiot exhaustion. Why am I doing this to myself? Oh yeah. To feel good.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-leftover casserole
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, strawberry yogurt, carrots
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado and cottage cheese
dinner-steak, baked potato w/broccoli & cheese, corn
nighttime-skim milk

Yeah, bitch!! 196 this morning. 1 down, nineteen to go! Probably won't matter to some people because I'm not doing a double blind study. Matters to me, though, and let's face it. Nav is the only one that matters. Eat my ****.

Nice calm, quiet day in the gym, probably because it's raining. Good thing I brought the bike to work today. Maybe I should have consulted the weatherman. Weatherman, you say? Pish posh, there's no double blind test to prove anything he has to say. Oh, that just kills me. I'm still laughing. Easy workout today. Strength dissipated as usual, but I wasn't squirting buttermilk trying to snort out those last few reps, either. The mirror says I'm looking great and I agree. Good mirror. I had difficulty concentrating on chest for the dips and pushups. I have been doing those two exercises with my arms for so long it's hard to switch. Abs, same old story. After three months you would think I could do something called a full rotation knee raise without crying.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-leftover steak, corn, and broccoli
after workout-canned chicken w/beer&brat mustard and olive oil, everything bagel, blueberry yogurt, carrots, banana
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lemon, grapes, and avocado
dinner-leftover steak and cottage cheese
nighttime-milk

Not just a pissant 196, but a solid "195 didn't even show up" 196. I'm getting fatter, too. 14.2%, to be exact. Think I might be over compensating on the diet a little? i want to get big, but not Tubby the Tuba big. Let's see. I know! More sex!
Saturday: Update-195 this morning, back down to 12% BF. How does that happen?

43 minutes. That was 4 minutes less time than last week and 6 more sets. I felt weak but steady. I didn't sweat much or breath very hard, but I just couldn't lift that much weight. Since today is a holiday I'm in a strange gym again. I don't like the dumbbells because they are the goofy ones with the big 6 inch plates. The twenties are the normal girly hex ones which I prefer because you can sweep them close to the body. I should be fine tomorrow also, but Wednesday is always a murderous beast. I honestly feel like a kid again after having done this for a while. Half my blood is in my third leg and I feel like being really active. My recovery time is way down and my body is a furnace. This is a fantastic program.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oat Bran w/olive oil and Splenda (Splenda is calorie-free sweetener made from sugar, Smiley), Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, boiled egg
after workout-cajun and cayenne chicken breast, everything bagel, peach yogurt, banana
lunch-Moo Goo Gai Pan & pork fried rice
afternoon-Mongolian Barbecue and boiled eggs
evening-macaroni and cheese
nighttime-cottage cheese and milk

Got to do the construction work again today since I'm off work. I have a hard time eating right when I'm outside whacking nails and climbing ladders. I come home exhausted and don't feel like making anything, so I eat takeout crap. Not today. Lately I'm serious and goal-oriented. I'm going to squeeze every last drop out of this program. Wonder how Paul's doing today???

Thanks , is oat bran like a powder or what we would call rolled oats (altho I think you usa types might call it quaker oats). I am always looking for alternatives to porridge ? If it's bran powder doesn't that make for a sludge, does it taste alright ? Oh, maybe you mix all of it in a bowl witih the instant stuff ?

Anyways I'd strike out with that third leg and ease the tension if I was you !!

What a crappy day. So I go out to head to the gym and it's really damn cold. Glad I rode the bike today. Well the thing was born 10 years after me, so it's getting to be a piece of junk. Choke cable frozen solid, Nav isn't going anywhere. I finally got home and was able to go to the same gym as yesterday, only not until 7:30 and I haven't eaten worth a crap. This is going to affect me tomorrow more than it does today. No prob on the workout. It's hard to believe how much of a crying pussy I was the first time. This gym has pretty good lighting and lots of mirrors. I'm looking big lately. For today I picked excellent weights, but anything higher than 25 was the funky big plate dumbbell style that I hate. Those knee raises are just as bad as the full rotations. Not only that, but the mirror is so close I can put my toes on it with bent legs. You do not want to see the view I had of my SPAB with my knees up to my ears. That might explain why the last set of abs was not done. When you've had enough, well, no need to make ourselves sick, eh?

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-tuna and mac&cheese
afternoon-banana, carrot, canned chicken w/mustard & olive oil on everything bagel, peach yogurt
late afternoon-leftover canned chicken
after workout-tuna sandwich, peach yogurt, banana, milk

This week is turning to sh1t. This diet needs an enema. I'm pissed. OK, Dreamer, Oat Bran comes in a box from Quaker Oats and is labelled Oat Bran. It is grainy and cooks much the same as oatmeal. It tastes about the same, but the consistency is more like fresh diarrhea (not that I've enjoyed that particular dish). It is definitely something I've had to get used to. The Cream of Wheat is a much tastier alternative. As far as the third leg, not to worry. It holds a better conversation than many people I have met lately. Haven't you ever heard that you're not supposed to rub one out before the big game? Tomorrow is it. The big one. If I do this right, I won't even have the energy to look at "inspiring material."

I need R Lee Ermy on days like today. I admittedly did not want to do these deadlifts. Hell, I wasn't thrilled about the squats. I came blasting out of the extensions and curls like a seventeen year old kid with a boner at prom only to get ****ing schooled like a bitch after the first set of squats. How are you supposed to squat when you are still panting like a Florida Husky from the previous set? I cheated myself with way too much rest. I couldn't help it. That's why I need Jenna Jameson screaming in my ear that I have a tiny crank when I start slacking. As much as I did not want to do the deadlift, I realized that, dead or alive, I was going to complete the required number of reps. If I want the benefit, I will challenge myself with the weight. That's where the 205 came from. Now I wish I could turn back the clock and redo those squats. Yeah, right. See you again in four weeks, asshole.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast
lunch-leftover chicken casserole(yep, still have some left)
after workout-banana, canned chicken w/mustard & olive oil on everything bagel, strawberry yogurt
supper-turkey burger with cheese and broccoli also with cheese
nighttime-tuna w/canola mayo, milk

I just need to keep feeding myself through this week. The real growth happens next week, so not to worry. This time around I am getting results that are astounding. I don't know what the numbers are going to say, but I am seeing curves and lines that I never had. And this is officially week three. 195 on the scale this morning because my diet has been for ****. 2 and a half hours to get home. No juice. Crap!!!!! I hate Virginia!

Tough start today. It takes a little bit of exhaustion to get me into the mindless groove required to complete one of these damn workouts. Well, I was 100% there after the Twisting Rows. So much so that the Wide-Arms were a waste. I was crying so much about how uncomfortable the whole thing was that I didn't put enough weight on. The pain was in my wrist, too. I threw on the straps for the second set and didn't realize until the big 15 that the weight was way too low. The last superset was a redemption. Good hurt in the right place with perfect form, right to the end. I was going back and forth between machines and caught a glimpse of my face in the mirror. Miserable. Pissed. Not pretty. If I saw a face like that on the street you might as well call Guinness because I found the dude I would not mess with.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Cream of Wheat w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 2 boiled eggs (WHOLE!!! ALWAYS!!)
lunch-leftover chicken casserole with some broccoli and turkey burger mixed in. It's finally gone.
after workout-banana, oiled, spiced, microwaved chicken breast on everything bagel, peach yogurt
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lime, grapes, and avocado
supper-impossible cheeseburger and tuna pies
nighttime-tuna w/canola mayo and milk

Oh, that chicken breast puts canned dogshit to shame. I am not going to eat that Alpo ever again. This is a diet I can screw on.

A fine finish to a rough week. Plenty of breath today, just going through the motions again. Weird. It's like some part of me has caught up to the vigorous circulatory requirement, but the muscles at work are still getting exhausted as scheduled. When I was getting my tat, the guy said the pain wouldn't stop, I would just get used to it. This is the same feeling. Those last few reps in the 15-set make my childhood beatings seem pleasant, but I am on a different planet while I am doing them. These next few weeks are going to be BORING! Used to be that a three/one minute rotation would kick my ass. Now that ole three-legged Nav 2.0 is in charge, things are different. Oh yeah, the abs were still sore, so I decided not to overwork them. I'm going to have to do something about that aspect of this program. I don't agree with it.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast
lunch-leftover meat pie
after workout-banana, oiled, spiced, microwaved chicken breast on everything bagel, peach yogurt, boiled egg
afternoon-fresh squeezed juice of apple, orange, kiwi, lime, grapes, and avocado with some cottage cheese
supper-catfish, mac&cheese with broccoli

Still 195. I need to do some serious eating the next few weeks. Measurements tomorrow and picture time. Watch out, ladies.

Looking back I can see big differences between now and since I started the program. My chest is the biggest disappointment. I had a very full chest and I still do, but just not like before. This pose doesn't do justice, but I want to keep it for consistency. After I finished feeling sorry for myself I began thinking up factors that have influenced this change. First and foremeost, I was on Methyl One-Test when I began this program. I kept those gains right up until I got sick. I would say that proves nothing can keep steroidal mass. Factor two: My creatine pump is gone. I'll start again after my body stabilizes. Lastly, I don't pump up before taking these pics. Perhaps I should in order to increase consistency. I could be in any sort of shape depending on the day of the week. I was sore for these pics. Sometimes I take them on Wednesday. Yep, leg day. I would say that's a big difference. Bottom line is that I know I am gaining. It's enough that I can see it. How many programs have you tried where you can see your gains in your body?

Day1/Week4
Hyper-Adaptive/High Protein/Shoulders

1 min between exercises, 3 min between supersets

Superset 1

Superset 2

Superset 3

49 min total workout

It's just stupid how slow this is. I'm sitting there at a minute and a half ready to start up again. Once I do finally get to start up I have to stop before I reach failure. This is the hardest part of the program. Why? Because instead of drifting into the zone and visiting happy world until the workout is done raping me I have to keep constant watch over what my body is telling me. Then I get to sit there and waste time stinking up the place until my 3 minutes are up. I want to see some heavier weight now. I also need a weight belt for those pissy dip shrugs.

Today's diet:

breakfast-Oatmeal w/olive oil and Splenda, 2 boiled eggs
lunch-tuna sandwich
after workout-cajun and cayenne chicken breast, everything bagel, strawberry yogurt
afternoon-protein shake
supper-spaghetti
nighttime-tuna w/canola and milk

I need to get cracking on my fats. I'm not eating enough. This is not a typo. I need more fat to feed the testosterone. I no longer feel like a horny teenager. The later part of the day was messed up because of an eventful trip to Sam's. I hate running errands during the week.
