NEW TRAINING ON THE WAY.

I started my first training day last Saturday doing arms. It is the
easiest part of the 6 day a week program. It was different then what I
have been doing over the last 8 yrs for sure. I was concerned about my
joints, especially my elbows and forearms as I’ve had numerous injuries
years ago.


Bleu said not to let my arms fully stretch out full. As in a preacher
curl for example, don’t lock out and start to retract. It seemed to
work…. so far!


Monday I did quads with ham and calves pump. I did 4 sets of leg
extensions 12 to 15 reps. Leg press, 3/ 8 to 10 reps. Squats, 3/ 8 to
10. Lunges DB, 3/ 8 to 10. Then came the 7 sets of hacks, 8 to 10.


Then 7 sets of Leg curls, 8 to 10.


Seated calve raises 3/ 8 to 10


Toe rises 3/ 8 to 10


Rest time is 60 to 90 secs between sets with 10 secs of static
stretching alternating with flexing the trained muscle group.


With the 7 set exercises, I do the same stretch and flexing, except I
only get 30 sec rest between sets.


Today I did Chest with a tri pump. Pretty much the same routine, except I
didn’t want to puke like I did after leg training!


Tomorrow back and bi pump. Then Thurs Hams with quad pump. Fri delts.
Then back to arms again on Sat. It’s been hard, yet I’m excited to so
the results.

oldsuperman: I am to keep “from” full extension movements only on pulling motions, like rows or pull ups and lifting like arm bi curls to prevent tendon injury.
Far as my sponsorship goes, I have several, yet my main sponsor is CELLUCOR and am a sponsored athlete. It isn’t a full time job for them, yet I am compensated for my sponsorship. They pay for most things involved in my training and compitions as well. They are great people and a great product!

PeteBauman: your new trainer told you not to go full range of motion on your reps to specifically prevent injuries on your elbow joints and forearms, or is it a muscle building technique? just wanted a little more clarity on that point.

i know you are sponsored, are you training professionally full time for these competitions or do you have another full-time job?
