daz's offseason journal fresh from the brits and stars. stars pics pg 308!

What i think people need to remember whilst yes it does appear to be alot of food, dazc has a very active job, i mean spending 8 hours smashing out a reinforced concrete floor must have burnt off a good 2000cals on its own.  that is with out taking into account, weight training, cardio, RMR and then he still needs a surplus to make sure he grows.

Incredible Bulk


do you know the macros of that diet?

to be honest mate, i dont have a clue, i know protein is at least 400g, and carbs are about the 600g mark, but thats only going on the protein in the protein sorces and the carbs in the carbs, without counting things like the milk, of proteins in the carbs, or the carbs in the fruit.
 
what i do know is, its as much as i can physically force myself to eat.  so its about as much as i can do, wihout sacrificing the quality of the foods to get more overall calories.
 
god only knows why i am stuck at about the 14 stone mark.  maybe hours at work, and stress is cancelling all that food out

on the cost issue, whey protein for example, is 39 quid for 4.5kg, at 200g a day that costs me £173 a day, which for 160g protein is bloody good! 

the MP MRP is great value and my double serving works out at 1.10 a day, for 88g carbs and 54g protein, and it also has some efa's in it. And the carbs are from oats and activated barley so nutrient rich!

they might not be the best tasting available, but they taste pretty good, and are cheap for quality ingredients!

nice little shoulder session tonight :-)

lat raise, suppersetted with shoulder press.  lat rais is always 10 reps, 18kg. shoulder press was-
50kgx25
90kgx21  more reps than last week
90kgx16
90kgx12  followed by a cheeky drop set, at 60kg, 40kg, and 20kg!!! only got 4 reps, shoulders wouldnt move!

rear delts in ped deck.
30kgx20
40kgx12
50kgx6
35kgx15

shoulders rested a bit, so smashed them a bit more with arnolds
30kgx15
35kgx14
30kgx15  (could do more weight but rc moans if i do)
 
lat raises (again) suppersetted with steering wheel thing with a 15kg plate.
3 sets of that, 10-12 reps each.

few shrugs
47.5kg x 45  reps fooooking exploded my shoulders! lol
47.5kgx20
47.5kgx18

also did some standing hammers for bis, 2 sets of very heavy, for 8 and 9 reps.  cheating on the form.

firing on all cylinders so did a quick 20minutes cardio at 130-140BPM HR

shoulders were looking cut and vascular at the end, much more mass than leeds, which i really needed, still more to go though :-)

cheers, still aint seen it tho mate!!  but im not sure i want to, was a little disappointed with how i came in as i just didnt dry out properly.  im actually worried its a crap photo and people will be looking thinking i dont look good!

Wish I could eat all that food... ;-)

Nice Shoulder workout there... I still don't get the point in Hammer curls you know, except to have forearms like Popeye perhaps...

i wish i didnt have to eat all that food, i hate having to force it down all the time! 
 
hammer curls, just to hit the bicep in a different way really as it changes the position of the bicep, if you hold your arm bent, then rotate your wrist the bicep changes shape and position. forearms like popeye would be great tho . . . .   lol
 
prefer preacher curls though

Is a decent pic in the beef mate!!

Hammer curls is primarily a shaping excercise for the brachioradialis  and the bicep brachii. Hope this helps!!

cheers mate!  ive been trying to find a copy to have a look, but have been pretty worried about what it might be, as some of the photos from people to the side of the stage looked really poor!
 
im doing biceps twice a week, so alternating between hammers and preachers.  noone has ever said that im lacking biceps, but i would feel happier with bigger arms as to me they are just ok, and nothing special at all, and my tris are pretty good.

Just said to Nav to-day that you have verg good bi,s mate!!swap??

think im just lucky that they peak well in bicep poses! 

so think ill keep em, just make them a bit bigger to be sure!  though if there was a decent set of calfs on offer then i could be tempted! haha

hi mate! no not really! am in work for 6-7 hours tomorrow, and will end up working most of next week, though i will be in the office catching up on drawing work, so a bit easier. 
 
ill probably lose a few pounds over christmas, even with all out excessive eating, gettin up late and disruptions to normal meals will mean i probably eat less in total, add that to the disruption to training, and i will finish christmas a few pounds lighter :-(

I was going to train today but but side stepped into Tescos  so i got two bottles of pears cider and nibbles.
But i don't drink that much, but i eat like a horse when i do.
I think i will have 4-5 days off training ,its always hard to keep things going over xmas.
Daz

totally amazing session tonight, should have been legs, so i did that, but as i wont get to train for nearly a week i worked through all the bodyparts i havent trained this week, in a bit of a circuit/superset/giant set type thing.  Wish i could train like that all the time, it was awesome!  here it is

leg extensions.
40kgx20
60kgx20
100kgx15
100kgx10  very slow reps, with a pause at the top.

leg curls, heavy this week, to bring out the hams.
40kgx12
70kgx10
70kgx8  very slow, and held at the top.  hams were fried as normally i do volume stuff.

calfs, again, low volume.  single leg in calf raise.
50kgx6
50kgx5  rest paused.
40kgx8

then onto a giant superset thing, no rest at all between these.

db incline flys.
20kgx12  to preexhaust chest.

db incline press
47.5kgx 13

dips
BW x 22

wide grip pull ups
BWx25

narrow grip pull ups, neautral grip so bicep heavy.
BWx 18

OMFG!!! was blowing like mad, forearms were ready to explode, chest was throbbing like mad, and my whole back was pumped and cramping!

so i did it all again!

might try training like that all the time for a bit, maybe do it twice a week, so everything gets trained twice a week, but with the low number of sets, still has time to recover.

hmmm dilemma!
