Video 18 0 00 21-13

Today was my last week doing high volume. I am looking forward to switching back to higher intensity, less volume for the next 3-4 weeks and seeing the kind of pumps I will be getting, as well as strength increases after the initial first week transition.

Anyway, I had a great chest workout today. Switched some exercises up and really had a great pump!

I started using no-xplode again this week! I have no idea how I did without it, haha.. I did, but the focus I had this workout was amazing!

Today was the only day I did not take no-xplode.. And It really showed. Very solid workout but lacked the intensity of the previous two!

Overview of the week:

…………………………………………………
This was my last week of high volume. I really enjoyed the pump I got throughout the week and I am ready to get back to higher intensity, less reps and more weight! I am hoping to look fuller and more vascular – with better pumps! Let’s see!
The introduction of no-xplode has been of great benefit!

    New workout journal 2010"Okay guys. I now have my computer back and I am back stronger than ever to do my second transformation cycle journal! My transformation results last time were fantastic - in my opinion. My weight went up 15lbs and I leaned out for a total of 10lbs of muscle gain. Leaner and bigger! However, I ended up finishing not as well as I would have hoped in the bodyspace spokesmodel contest finals - mostly due to the fact that I took over a year off doing regular modeling and had a lot going on in my life with moving countries. I hadn't worked out for size in over a year. I lost muscle - coming in at 172lbs just this past October, so I was happy going in at 184lbs. The contest was strong and I needed that extra time to compete, so no excuses! Just more fuel to the fire! My motivation is high! However, I was happy to make the top 5 out of thousands of people and it was a great experience. After a few weeks off reflecting and taking my new job, I am coming back with a new transformation journal. I am going to get shredded these next 4-5 weeks and then lean bulk it all the way back to 195lbs and beyond. I will be doing this with the help of Optimum Nutrition - I will be using their protein powders, creatine, no products, multi vitamin, fish oils, and CLA. I will document my progress with each supplement on my transformation blog. Keep updated for the first one - coming next week!
