Mission 2, Day 77: Orange County Muscle Classic XXXI

April 20, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was a fun day for me.  I did my cardio early in the day as usual.  In the evening I attended the Orange County Muscle Classic XXXI.  What fun I had!

First, as I walked into the auditorium's lobby, who is walking directly towards me but Jay Cutler, Mr. Olympia himself!  He smiled at me and I said hello to him.  He was busy getting his table set up, so I let him be.  Later I stopped by the table and it appeared like everyone was afraid to talk to him.  I said hi again and he asked if he'd run into me earlier.  We chatted for a few minutes and I took my seat.

I learned alot about shows at this one.  It was my first time attending a competition.  I learned that it isn't that farfetched for me to eventually compete.  Honestly, the first 8 competitors had smaller legs than me and far less definition in their thighs than I have.  There was even one guy who HAD to have higher body fat than me.  We called him “Fat Reggie” when he left the stage.  He clearly had no chance!

The highlight of the evening was Jay Cutler guest posing.

   Jay strikes a double bicep pose.
 Look at his massive thighs!  
   Jay doing his rear lat spread
 What a body!  
   He is so dramatic!

Garrett Hawkins won the overall.  You can catch some other pictures at the following link:

Honestly, Melvin Tanner, the Super Heavyweight winner and the guy who won the Novice Overall, was in incredible shape, but Garrett had so much better definition.  One example:  When Garrett hit his front double biceps pose, his lats also looked huge but Melvin only had big lats when doing his front lat spread.

It was a great experience for me.  I learned that with some hard work I can definitely achieve my dreams.  I left the auditorium completely pumped.

Updates

Starting with tomorrow's logs, I will be keeping my nutritional information in top secret status.  This is because I am going to be experimenting with some nutritional tactics and I don't want to influence anyone with my approach.  At the current time, I plan to keep my nutritional information in top secret status until at least the end of this mission and possibly a little longer.  It all depends on how things are working.  Suffice to say that I plan to burn off a ton of fat and yet maintain all my lean body mass.

Mission 2, Day 76: Excitement builds

April 19, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

(NOTE:  Due to problems with my internet connection this post is being posted late.)

I woke up today very excited.  It was to be my last wave loading workout.  It is also my last workout on my own.  After this I will be taking my lead from my personal trainer.  It is very exciting.

At the same time, I'm also excited because tomorrow is the day  I get to go to the body building competition (as a spectator).  Jay Cutler is guest posing and I plan to take alot of pictures (which I will post on this blog).

The servers all rolled out perfectly last night.  We had no problems at all.  It was a pretty amazing roll out.

I started reviewing my nutrition logs tonight.  I see alot of adjustments I can make to maximize my fat loss, especially with the timing of my meals.  Look for changes starting soon.

Mission 2, Day 75: Thinking it all through

April 18, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

(NOTE:  Due to internet problems, the posting of this entry was delayed.)

It was a pretty routine day today.  We are in the process of rolling out new servers and that is time consuming and tiring.  The workouts help with all of it and they keep me focused.

I had a great workout today.  Deadlifts are still my absolute favorite exercise. They make you feel so powerful.  It is amazing how much weight a human is capable of lifting off the ground with training.  It never ceases to amaze me.

I have been thinking over alot of different issues and strategizing for maximum fat loss.  I'm spending the next couple of weeks just really pouring over my records, past and future, to figure out exactly how to maximize my fat loss and LBM gains. 

I decided to hire the personal trainer and will have my first workout on Monday.  I am looking forward to that.  He will be able to help me strategize and he will push me harder than I already push myself.

These were personal bests yet again.  The deadlifts are increasing at a rapid rate.  Since I went back and worked on my form even more I've been able to hit some big numbers.  The trainer asked how much I can deadlift one time and I said “380 pounds, but it seems to go up every week” and he responded “Damn! That's alot of weight!  I wouldn't think you could lift that by looking at you.”  You can't judge a book by its cover, right?

Reflective time is when you get inside yourself and see yourself from the inside out.

Mission 2, Day 74: Half way there

April 17, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was a no-lifting day.  I'm really wrestling with where to take my training.  I am very comfortable with my nutrition this week and know I'm going to put up some good numbers. I can just feel it.

The trainer wants me to do a full body workout that involves alot of body weight exercises.  This is not something I've been comfortable with in the past, but I'm doing my best to have an open mind.  I want to burn off more fat.  It is amazing, but I no longer have any flab under my arms or at the top of my chest.  It pretty much all sits in my abdominal area (pretty typical of a male). 

I feel like I might want to give the trainer a go for a trial period of say 6 weeks and see what results I get.  Perhaps having someone pushing me harder than I push myself will give me even better results?  Just the thought of what those kinds of workouts will be like is almost scary.  I push myself extremely hard as it is, so a trainer pushing me even harder is quite something.  I do know that during my initial free session he had me use the Smith Machine for the correct purpose–push ups and upside down rows.  Yes, he placed the Smith Machine bar up high and had me get under it and do body weight rows (these are supposed to help with chin ups).  I then immediately went to push ups on the bar (very slow tempo) followed by prisoner squats and then a plank held as long as I could.  That was one circuit.  I had to complete 3 of those.  Next we did some squats with a pulley row.  Those were killer, especially coming off of being sick.  It was a very good workout overall and that's why I think I might just entertain the thought of working with the trainer.

Mission 2, Day 73: Striking a chord

April 16, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

My post regarding my opinion of fasting and the need for the Shreddersphere to be careful about its content has apparently struck a chord with many of you.  I've gotten comments from people who haven't commented on the blog in a long time.  Frankly, I figured this would be the case, but I am serious about my stance on this issue.  I think that people are compromising their results by fasting.  I believe that while they are getting decent results, they could get even better results by eating.  I am concerned that people are reading these blogs and going out and trying things without doing their own research.  I know that I personally get over 200 hits a day on this blog, but get nowhere near that many comments, so I know there are lurkers out there who are reading and not commenting.  I am concerned because I don't want these people trying things without understanding what they are getting themselves into.

Look at Adam Waters for example.  I'm sure you've all read the following disclaimer:

“Feel free to use this plan as a template that you can follow. However, this plan is is based on my own personal experience over 3 physique transformation missions. In other words, what works for me may not work for you in the same way.

Success in this game requires research, individual design, real-world testing, monitoring results and making adjustments when necessary. This is your responsibility, no one else can do it for you. However, if you'd like to research further the exact programs I have used (over my first 3 Missions) and will use for M4 Shred you can do so at the links below.”

I am merely preaching the exact same thing.  So fasting is popular with the Shreddersphere right now and my comments are unpopulare, but they are important because hopefully they've made some people think long and hard about what they are doing before they do it.
