Maybe use wrist hooks next time? Used Microweights on laterals for first time. Used 25-lb DBs (50 lbs) with four 1.25 lb micros (total of 55 lbs). 30s have been too much, but 25’s with the micros worked great. Good pump today, but boy are legs sore! Must have done something right yesterday! TSMD |

So far, so good, Jefado. Thanks for asking. But I'm starting to get stares from the morning crew at the gym. First, all the stopping and starting with the muscle rounds was raising some eyebrows, now add these little mini weights to the mix, and people are really looking at me like I'm from Mars!
It's all good, though. If I know someone is staring, it forces me to push harder and focus even more on my form during my workout. I'm taking baby steps, but still progressing. I'm living every day with different muscles feeling sore, and recovering on the weekends. Feels good. TSMD |

Yo, Mutt! How's Mutt, Mrs. Mutt, and Mutt Jr? Hope all is going well on the home front.
My unscientific results (5 months): My strength is up (for sure). Generally, the weights I'm able to lift are way up. I think a lot of that is just increased confidence, though. Weight is up about 5 pounds (274 from 269). Legs up 1/2 inch (from 27 to 27.5). Upper arms are up over 1/2 inch (16.5 to 17+). Forearms - up 1/4" to 12.75 Waist - still wearing 38s (my best gauge for success) Chest - 51" - about the same. Calves - Up 1/4" to 18.5 (who really cares about calves, though!) For reference, my neck is 17.75 and wrist is 7.5, which means I'm at my ideal weight, assuming I'm 9'7" tall. All in all, I guess I'm pleased with my results. I was really hoping to show more progress in the waist area... I wanted to be in 36's by now. But, hey, it took a long time to put this weight on, so miracles won't happen overnight. Diet is so very important. I was just thinking this morning that I should consider keeping a detailed food journal (again) to monitor the nutrition side of things. Maybe re-read a few more posts in the nutrition section for motivation... I'll probably do another cycle of the Titan Training program, but next time I will concentrate more on (1) perfect nutrition and meal timing, (2) lots more rest, and (3) no landscaping projects larger than planting flowers!

One step ahead of ya, Mutt-ster! I have a 10-day vacation scheduled in sunny Florida right at the end of this cycle. Maybe I'll do some light cardio - but then again, maybe I won't! I may just lounge near the pool and/or beach with zinc-oxide on my nose and wearing dark shades, listening to some cool jazz while sipping whey-garitas (with the little umbrellas in them). Six more weeks to go...

CARDIO – 20 minutes on elliptical trainer. (1) ADDED CARDIO: Decided to add cardio to the program – actually got a good night sleep last night and had the energy. (2) LOW LIGHTS: Lost grip on rep #6 or the 315 deads – CRASH! Lots of looks. Oh well. Also skipped calves today. Still sore from yesterday. (3) DIET: 38’s getting snug. I’m sure it’s all that muscle I’ve added to my waist, thighs and glutes! LOL, so, I decided to follow Leo Costa’s recommended diet program (started yesterday), rather than my standard, more-traditional nutrition plan. It is supposed to accompany this program. I probably should have used it from the beginning (oh well!). It’s basically a CKD type – very low quantity of low-glycemic carbs per day (<30g) Mon-Fri with 1.25-1.5g Prot per lb of body weight per day plus good fats for energy, then eat “reasonably” (no other restrictions) on the weekend. Guess we’ll see how that goes... I’ve had great success with a KD before, so we’ll see how the cyclical KD goes. I’ll give it at least 2 months or so and then re-evaluate. And, yes, I’m drinking 3 gallons of water MINIMUM per day. TSMD |

------------------------------- Cardio Only – 20 minutes on elliptical trainer. Reference cals = 320. New diet plan going well. Eating regularly (every couple of hours). Lots of protein (at least 300g per day, 50-60g per meal times 6). Lots of water. Very few carbs (small amounts of salad greens, spinach, and what’s in my protein powder). TSMD |

I just penciled you into my workout log book. (Be afraid! Be very afraid!) I may -- no make that "WILL" -- be "comin' to talk to you" on Tuesday next week!

Just don't slow down and don't get complacent, Mutt. Arm size and deadlift numbers (like all records) are short-lived... One by one, each of those records (and others) will be broken... and I just love being the underdog!
Ummm, I've noticed that holding all these records seems to have turned you into more of a "Purebred" than a "Mutt".LOL I bet that the scrappy underdog fighting "mutt" mentality that once served you so well is now a distant memory, as you sit high atop that golden throne basking in the glow of "unbeatable records" and "monster arms"! But I've been watching and taking notes, Muttster! You're obviously still a little hungry, but you ain't Saxman hungry! Just a casual observation... Man, I love this site! TSMD |

Friday June 6, 2003
------------------------------- Was supposed to be Muscle Rounds – (Upper Body) today. However, there was a change of plans, thanks to Dale Carnegie (Winning Friends and Influencing People), Norman Vincent Peale (Power of Positive Thinking), and most of all, da Muttster (Double Secret Nasty Hardcore Training). And, also, I believe it was Yoda who once said, “Try, not! Do!” Funny how easy it is to you get yourself into a groove, and blindly believe that you are working at your maximum potential. And this holds true in the weight room, at your job, and life in general. All the clichés about anything being possible if you “put your mind to it”, and the tons of motivational threads here on FT are great motivators, but sometimes a little something happens that really sends a person’s motivation through the roof and gives that person a whole new perspective on setting limits (or NOT)... Yesterday, Mutt helped me to find a very tiny little fire that's beein hiding in my gut. It was sparked by his comment, “LOL – That is most likely not going to happen!” when I joked about his “eating my dust” as I blow by him! Well, I know and play the motivation game a lot, folks, but that one comment Mutt made really pushed my buttons (in a great way, Muttster)! By this morning, the spark he started was a blazing inferno inside my gut. And no, it wasn’t indigestion. I’m usually most motivated by other people’s successes (those guys that smack and insult each other before power lifting a million pounds - definately not me!), but his comment was as if he just said “Pffft”, made a quick chuckle, did a hand wave, turned, and dismissed me as a nuisance child! “Ya, ya, Saxman, whatever, now go home and play with your toy weight set!”. Like I said, I know how this motivation game works, BUT, I have to tell you, my focus, concentration, and determination at the gym this morning was unprecedented. My form was perfect, my breathing was perfect, and that mind-to-muscle connection was on the money on every rep of every lift. I was hungry (both figuratively and literally). Nothing else mattered. I was determined. I was angry. I was pissed. Not at Mutt, mind you – and here’s the key – I was mad at me! Thank you, Mutt. You’re good. Damn good! <SET 1> . <SET 2> . <SET 3> . <SET 4> . <SET 5> 12 x 455 . 08 x 500 . 06 x 525 . 03 x 525 . 00 x 000 ---> BACK – Shrugs 08 x 080 . 07 x 080 . 07 x 080 . 06 x 080 . 00 x 000 ---> TRICEPS – Skull Crushers 10 x 060 . 07 x 070 . 05 x 075 . 05 x 075 . 00 x 000 ---> DELTS – DB Lat Raises (Tot Wt) 12 x 080 . 10 x 090 . 09 x 100 . 07 x 110 . 00 x 000 ---> BICEPS – BB Curls TSMD |

That's "Mister" Old Man to you!
Thanks, Mutt. I hear your warning, but be careful! You don't want to screw up your ankle. I don't want to win by a forfeit!LOL Man, today I wanted 8 reps so bad I could taste them! I just couldn't get past 4. At one point I pushed so damn hard I thought I was going to lose it! I think I need to keep working with 405 until I get more comfortable with (and confident with) that weight. Do you think it might be beneficial to cut back on the weight a bit and do those really deep ass-to-the-floor (ATF) squats (full range of motion - dropping below parallel? TSMD |

Well to tell you the truth I think that below parrallel at that weight is not good for ya knees. I have seen guys do it but I think it could lead to injury. I definitly thing that lowering the weight a little till you can get 8-10 reps for each set (unless you are going for a pure mass/strength program) is a better way to go. I am at 255 for squats 6 times i can get 275 about 3-4 but that is as a las set i am sure if I went higher frist off I could be working heavier, but then I would loose form. That to me is more impressive the guy that does the set with lighter weight and perfect form...just my 2 cents...remember Rome was not built in a day and neither will your legs....-------------- Squats are really a very good thing, but in my world, Deadlifts are King!!!!!!!! |

Yo jefado!
No more pix of my ugly mug cluttering the FT site! I think 4 is plenty - for now, anyway. You're gonna have to wait til December/January after the Mutt-motivated (and me motivated) "nasty hardcore" training transformation takes place! God, what pressure! BTW, if any of you find any extra abs lying around, send 'em my way - I'm still hunting... And you'll never see any pix of my pink girlie weights (sorry)... mainly because the pink clashes way too much with my fuschia headband and purple and yellow tights. LOL TSMD |

Okay, I really didn't want this to turn into one of "those" posts, but...
Umm, how do you propose I squeeze 270 pounds of Saxman into a 100 pound pair of tights (that aren't really my color, anyway!)? Not that a 270 pound Saxman in a 270 pound pair of tights is a better image, mind you. (Sorry, Mutt - and everyone else!) While I recognize the humor content - both the process itself, and the final result - I don't think I'd be allowed back into my gym ever again... or my neighborhood for that matter. There are small children, for God's sake! Furthermore, assuming I did get them on, one deep squat and... TSMD |

Not to worry, Mutt. It's all a joke.
I actually workout "nekkid"! (Image #3!) Okay. I surrender. I'm done. I'm starting to get myself sick. TSMD |

Hmmm... idea.
The New Nekkid Saxman and Mutt in a Thong Weight Loss Program... Barfing your way to a slimmer you! $39.95, comes with 2 8x10 glossies and a garbage can. (Refer to Mutt's "magic pill/weight loss/infomercial" post elsewhere on this site.) Mutt we could retire and start our own gym! TSMD |
