Strive For Moreee

I’ll tell you what bro. The last set of rack pulls took the life outta me !! :confused: Then I’m like two sets deep into chins/pull ups and man I’m thinking to myself “f**k my life” hahahaha

Hahahaha that’s greatness. I’m definitely gonna give that combo a try!

So I ended up buying Carnage last night. I’m taking this week off then going right into it starting the 11th. Cruisin on Carnage ha

Nice. That’s a legs focused program right? You had said you really wanted to bring up your legs.
 
Nice. That’s a legs focused program right? You had said you really wanted to bring up your legs.

I’ve been reading through it today, it’s 7 days a week, all body parts 2x per week. Arms 1x. He says it has some of the hardest leg workouts he’s ever done so that’s what sold me. The volume is lower but prob increases. 15 sets for legs, I do 30ish now but he has some really intense drop sets as you know. Check this out for carnage weeks 1-2 Bulgarian split squats:



My hamstrings and adductors are lagging in development a bit compared to my quads so I’m hoping Carnage will help!

Bro he uses Bulgarian Squat drop sets in the program I’m running now and the first time I did them was fuckin brutal. He does them with jack squats also and they’re just as rough. I will say I’ve been implementing a lot of his exercises even when running my last program (starting leg workouts with hamstrings and various exercise techniques) and my hamstrings have came up ALOT. Adductors need a lot of work haha. Shit. Everything always has room to grow !!
 
Awesome my man that’s exactly what I want to hear! I don’t know why my quads are growing nicely but hammies not so much, but I figure if anyone can help, it’s john Meadows

Nice arm workout today. Found a new gym yesterday and it’s honestly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been in. Old school body building gym equipped with any and everything you can think of. Really looking forward to incorporating a lot of these new machines into this program.
 
Well. Right now I have my macros around 3700cal training days (350p/350c/100f)
3100cal non training days (350p/200c/100f)

Only supps I really incorporate are

Morning:
Daily multi vitamin
Vitamin C pack
Magnesium


Pre:
1 tsp sea salt
1.5 scoop impact ignitior or Blackstone dust v2
5g creatine

Intra:
10g glutamine
1 scoop eaa max
1 tsp sea salt
1 scoop Karbion
1.5 scoop BCAA

Post:
10g glutamine
10g creatine
1 scoop Karbion
2 scoops ISO

Pre bed:
1 scoop eaa max
1-1.5 scoop Blackstone Labs anesthetized

Almost all my supps are Blackstone Labs, primeval Labs, allmax, and I normally use Myprotein to buy bulk whey iso. (Just brands I personally like and stand by)

I normally drink a shake before bed as well with 2 scoops of iso and some raw eggs. Most of my daily carbs come from oats or cream of wheat, rice, and fruit(only post workout normally 2 bananas & sometimes blueberries in the morning on rest days), & Karbion(sits well with my stomach). Meals normally consist of 6oz lean meats (chicken and extra lean ground beef). All fats come from eggs, red meat, and nut butters. Cheats are few and far between. Most carbs are consumed pre, intra, post, and normally what’s left is consumed in the following meal after post workout meal. Eat roughly every 2.5-3 hours. First meal of the day is always 4 whole eggs, 3/4c broccoli, 4oz lean ground beef, and depending on what time I workout sometimes includes a cup of rice as well. Diet is pretty consistent but meal order varies depending on what time I hit the gym that day. Normally salt all meals as well which again is a personal choice that seems to work well for me. Veggies are normally broccoli, kale, spinach, and green beans(which I don’t count into my daily carbs).

Think I got all of it. Ask away if I missed something. @CJames

Tri sets fuck yeah. And only 60 secs of rest in between, I bet that generated a massive pump
