M4:D1 (D301) The Plan

 Today i will outline the plans for my fourth mission. There will be two phases to my mission. Phase 1 will be from August 21, 2008 through October 25, 2008. This will be nothing but a bulking phase. My goal will be to pack on as much muscle as humanly possible during that time frame. I have created Phase 1 in this manner so that I can properly celebrate my 1 year of shredding. Phase 2 will be about working on specific muscle groups that lagged during Phase 1. It will last 35 days to cap off a total for Mission 4 of 100 days. Phase 2 will begin on October 26, 2008 and end on November 30, 2008. Thus, this entire mission will be about bulking and Getting REALLY Big (which just happens to be the title of the new mission). I am keeping the plan simple and to the point. I am not changing alot about what I am currently doing. I expect to see huge results in a short period of time. I will be posting my accountability log the same way I have been all along. I will also post summaries of my workouts when I'm using something I purchased from someone else and I will post my detailed workout logs when I am doing something on my own. I am always at odds with what to do when I am working through a program I purchased. On the one hand, simply posting my results isn't really violating any copyright because the details of why the workout is done the way it is done isn't covered in a workout log. However, since I'm not really sure, I err on the side of caution and simply post a summary of what I did. It avoids any potential problems with the author of the workout. Anyone have thoughts on this issue? |

 Today was back day using the same scheme I've been using all week. Supersetting isolation exercises (to pre-exhaust the muscles) with compound exercises. The rest in between is short to really push the body. My back was definitely sore after this workout. It was a pretty intense workout as usual. I'm liking the concept of pre-exhausting the muscles. My compound lifts have been a little lighter as a result, but much more intense. I feel a burn faster in the muscles doing it this way. I am a firm believer in supersets because they get the work done quickly. |

| Today marks 300 days blogging for me. It has been an exciting ride. During this time I have made alot of physical, mental and emotional changes that are all interwoven and have prepared me for what the future holds. I can face anything as I move ahead in my new life. Some highlights of my physical changes: Scale weight: I went from 240 pounds to 208 pounds in 300 days. As far as some highlights of some mental changes I've gone through: My mental intensity is the highest it has ever been I want to thank Carlos DeJesus for his mentoring me in this area. It has completely changed my life. My friendship with Carlos has changed the way I look at everything.I can't really highlight the emotional changes I've gone through other than to say that I am tougher in that area as well. I've learned how to use my emotions correctly. I don't use straight logic to make all my decisions now, emotions get their appropriate role in the process. I want to thank every single person who comes and reads my blog and especially those who comment. I want to thank Adam: RTP2 Blog for inspiring me to do this in the first place. I now have a lifestyle that is changed for the better thanks to him. To those of you who don't comment, come on out of hiding and say something. You are the reason I do this blog in the first place.300 days are down and I'm ready for 300 more. The plans of my next mission will be released tomorrow. Hint: It is going to be called “Getting REALLY Big!” or GRB for short. Pictures Tell the Story  |

| Today was leg day and again, it was isolation exercises to pre-exhaust the muscles supersetted with compound exercises. I replaced Leg Press with the Quad Blaster. When I was done with my workout I could barely walk out of the gym. I had an incredible burn throughout my legs. Felt like every single inch was sore and burning. |

| There is one day left until this mission is over. There is one day until I hit 300 straight days of blogging and daily accountability pictures. Tomorrow I plan to present some photos from Day 1 and compare those to Day 300. I hope to recognize great progress. It has honestly been an amazing journey, but it has all been about the Experiment of One that I've mentioned before. Yes, I've got plans that have worked well for me, but who am I to say they will necessarily work for you? The concepts are universal, the results are not necessarily universal. Think about it. You are one person and I am another. Individual results may vary. The process is pretty much the same. Hard work gets you hard results. That much is true for anyone. With consistent effort comes consistent results. The more consistent you are the better your results continue and the cycle just keeps repeating itself over and over again. You wind up with an amazing feeling of accomplishment as you look back on past pictures and see how far you've come. All of these things are shared by everyone who does this. |

| Arm day baby! The assault on the arms was intense. I haven't done body part splits in a long time and the arms are seeing the most difference from the new splits. They've been getting indirect work for a year now, but this is intense. The burn after doing 4 sets of barbell curls was just insane. My triceps were on fire as I left the gym. Once again, it was a major effort to start the car so I could get home. |

| While individual results may vary, the basic formula is the same. |
