IGF and power work

[Nerdrage_Hilmateam]

Greetings everyone!!! I've been keeping a little diary of my strength work in kind. Temporarily stopped keeping it in the spring. It had nothing to do with the fact that I stopped working out. I was sent on a long business trip for work. And every quarter I try to change something in my life, particularly in my work. Unfortunately, I have a problem with the language barrier and when I write my thoughts, sometimes it is difficult to optimize them into another language. For you think in a different language. So with the pressure of work, I temporarily did not write. As we notice, it's already summer outside the window. And this is a very different quarter of the year, correspondingly new thoughts. So I decided to bring back journal writing.

I am also trying to make progress in my training process. The progress has not stopped. In my reports, I did only the training program. Didn't talk much about food and tight monitoring. This aspect needs to be corrected. One of the highlights of the training process, I additionally included the use of insulin growth factor 1 unit per training day. This gave me a tremendous impression. It had an effect on my sleep, and afterward the hint of mild muscle soreness after the training process disappeared completely, despite the progress of the regimen. Because of this aspect, I increased my training volume. And in 2 weeks of the training process, I added 4 kg of my own body. The food aspect I didn't change. I started taking measurements and my waist went to -4 centimeters and my hip circumference went to -6 centimeters. So I decided to measure other muscle groups.

At the same time, I was monitoring my cardiovascular system. Through training and introducing additional manipulations I reduced my blood pressure by -10 and my resting heart rate (both high and low) by -8 heartbeats on average. I'll talk about weights and volume in more detail in future posts.

Why did I decide to use IGF? The thing is, it's very hard to train and strive for a high goal without incentive. When I started using something inside something changed that it needed to be plowed through. It's like the fuse was lit up again. It feels like I just started training. The other reason, I need to get back into the competitive ranks. It has to do with the fact that I'm currently involved in organizing competitions at NPC. We're going to have an amateur tournament. It imposes a lot of obligations. One very interesting thing is that the parallel federation, which used to support ELITE PRO, began to scare us with disqualification. We just had a season of both bodybuilding and powerlifting in May, when the students came out. I was not very well aware of the disapproving glances, as a partisan in our field.

I was also greatly influenced by the spring, because of my relationship with my friends. It spurred me to think twice: who am I? What do I do? What will I do next? Unfortunately, a close friend of mine has done a lot of bad things that his case has been going on for a month now. He must go to jail. And for a long period of time. He has no relatives and not many close friends. So at this point, I try to help him. I wondered: what if I had lost that time, what would I have regretted? What would I have had time to do? My significant other also had a problem, he needed a large amount of money to solve the problem. I decided to help him. When I considered this whole situation, it also affected me mentally and gave me a boost.
All in all, I had an unusual spring. I hope the summer brings many surprises and lessons too. I resume the diary. I will try to describe my training process in detail in a couple of days. And a little more about the IGF.

Great post and good to be back on the blog. I would be interested to read about your development.

There was a changeover in the training cycle. Decided to make the volume higher. Higher enough. Added a more detailed body rehab to the cardio day. I don't want to get hurt. I was trying to make some adjustments every microcycle. I used to work in linear schemes. But I've decided to work 1 microcycle with better intensity and 2 of them with 90 percent of planned future weights. I was re-involved in the training process before the start. I got a little bit sick because of temperature fluctuations in the environment. Didn't do anything for a week. At the moment of the start, I weighed 104 kg. Of course, I lost some weight because the volume of my training had increased a lot. Started to put on IGF 1 unit on training day, not on a cardio day. My workouts are going in the key of 2 + 1. But no rest day. There's cardio, stretching, sauna, and extra training moments. In terms of food. Increasing has not been done. Protein, fats, carbohydrates in order: 180.100-110.550-600. Because of the irregular schedule, I was a little bit afraid of eating. But I try to work on it. In June the purpose is to work in volume and to raise the intensity. But it is not really desirable to do so. So you have no rest day? Unfortunately, or fortunately, yes. In the gym every day. In addition to Infrajet, I use Wobenzyme and vitamins, some turmeric, and coconut oil. What the workout process looks like by movement:

Day 1.
Bench press
Power bench press
Bench press with lower weights for volume
Pull-ups with weights
Shoulder press on the machine
Abduction to the shoulders in a sitting position
One leg press
Сrossover at an incline lying down
Standing crossover curls
Three press movements

Day 2.
Squats with barbell
Squat on a 55 cm high bench
leg press in the block machine
Dips
Reverse pull-ups
Rear deltoid abduction
Abduction on the shoulders
French press with dumbbells
1 leg extension
Moves on calves
Sock walk

Day 3.
Deadlift
Vertical pulling up on machines
Leaning pull down from the floor
Frontal pulling down with 1 hand on the machine
Standing bend on 1 leg
Hyperextension
Reverse extension
Crossover pulling in an incline
Pullover from the upper block
Biceps curl

And how long will this stage last and what are the global goals for this stage?

And how long will this stage last and what are the global goals for this stage?

I plan to do two cycles. They will last until the end of September. At the beginning of the cycle, I squat 190 kilograms, bench press 125 kilograms, and deadlift 190 kilograms. I didn't write any posts, I wanted to make sure the program was correct, as well as the progress.
I finished my squats at 220 kilograms and 270 kilograms on a 55-centimeter high box. Bench press 145 kilograms and low slingshot bench press 160 kilograms. The deadlift was 250 kilograms. Also well increased the weight in other movements too.
The only thing I don't know is what competitions I should go to. I don't want to compete in IPF. And in WRPF I don't like politics. I stood up for my teammates and got disqualified. What makes me happy, we have an organization in NPC in bodybuilding, I will be involved in organizing the event. Yes, it's bodybuilding, but I plan to lift good weight for myself for now. I want to go beyond the amount of + 700 -750 kilograms.

 

[MR_Midas]

The main thing is weight growth on the bar, and I think you will find competitions.
Do you like to organize competitions, do you want to do it professionally?

I'm not even worried about the competition. I am a realist, I don't want to go somewhere as a statistician. I want to either fight with someone or win the title. If we take a frame of weights and results, we can see by the protocol: that good weights are in a range of 730-750 kg in a weight category over 100 kilograms. I will strive for that.

I was involved in the organization of the competition in 2019. There was a world power extreme championship in the 105 categories. I actually really enjoyed it. The other people, the fellowship. Noticed that people from the West are more good-natured. Maybe for me, it is an illusion, or I am looking for a reason, but somehow it seems that way.

At this stage, I work in a school of trainers. More precisely, my friend and I organized this school and we were helped by a very large gym with this. We did a project together. Seeing my work and love for the sport, last year I was told they wanted to launch bodybuilding into the masses. I do not want to throw stones in someone's garden, I hope this aphorism I can convey. But the elite federation is not a leader in bodybuilding. There are a lot of problems in the areas that support them. I used to compete in the classics myself. When I said what I did not like (I'm a straightforward person who likes to talk), after that I had problems with the organization of bodybuilding. We have, for some reason, such a mentality that is very bad to accept criticism. So when they said that there will be a new federation and it is NPC, of course, I agreed to help. I was included in the association. This weekend we will have an event at home. This month I participated in all the processes of the event. Additionally, put more to judge the categories. This is a new experience for me. I always treat new things as experiences.

PS: By the way, for this reason, when someone started hinting at my nickname. That I am some kind of advertising and one person had a claim to me. I answered directly: we do have not a very good quality product. I once managed to find an outlet for @HilmaBiocare The athletes I know have practically all switched to this product. But the thing is, a lot of people I know are not just gym-goers. They compete in different disciplines. So I can test the product out, not just write a text or read someone else's review. Of course, everyone has their own opinion and choice. I made my choice at this stage.

Ps2: I publish a photo from the competition on power extreme.

Great news, I read and see that you are a person who loves his job and gets a lot of emotions from it. You are a passionate person, you are a fan of your work. Such people support the halls, because it is not particularly commercially profitable. But fanatics are important and needed everywhere. Keep practicing and ignore the haters.

Photos like yours are very usually memorable and you will remember these competitions and the people you gathered and made them a holiday in the form of competitions for a very long time and years later.

Photos like yours are very usually memorable and you will remember these competitions and the people you gathered and made them a holiday in the form of competitions for a very long time and years later.

We had our first NPC rule competitions. There were club competitions. There are now 12 big gyms in our network. Participants came from all over the country. There was a prize fund of 22 thousand dollars. A lot of little things had to be done for the competition. In the end, everything went very well. Many spectators compared it to the national championships. It is interesting, that our competitions were much better, so spectators noted.

I was assigned to judge the competition. All week I tried to watch the judging material. I liked it very much. There were no major discrepancies with the chief judge on the protocol. In bodybuilding and men's physics, there was almost the same difference in the chief referee. As a result, I was invited to try it myself on December 3. We're going to have another competition. To be officially qualified as a judge.

I was very impressed with Chris and Danny. Chris is a promoter and organizes 11 different major competitions in the States. And Danny is the first Mr. Olympia in the classic division. They answered all the questions. Helped me with some of the nuances that I was interested in.

PS: The only thing we had was a temperature of 40 degrees. Therefore, the water flowed out of all the cracks. On top of that, started the recruitment this summer.

 

[MR_Midas]

What a wonderful story, wonderful emotions and competitions that you had. I have already caught myself that you are a good organizer, you need to develop in this area. You will also gain experience in judging competitions and I think this will be a new field of activity. You are doing great.

In June, I started a slightly different phase in my athletic endeavors. I started using IGF. This thing is quite a nice recovery. And it affects not only muscles but also CNS. I began to have a very good sleep with this product. I will analyze this drug in more detail separately. There is a lot to say about it, but I can't say it in the post, I will have to make a video presentation. I have put on 5 kilos during this period of time.

In June I added more volume to my workouts. The only thing is I started alternating weeks. One week into the basic movements is a little lighter and equals 90% of my desired weight for the next heavy workout. This progression has paid off. I didn't change anything in my diet. The only thing that happened was that I switched types of carbohydrates. I started with the diet back in May and switched to a completely new scheme in June. One of the reasons, I was a little unhappy with my cholesterol profile and some of my numbers. But a couple of weeks of work without the use of additional supplements shifted the effect in positive favor well. The topic is very interesting by the way, especially if you're in pharma.

But now I wanted to talk in detail about mistakes. For, no matter what your level is, you are still committing something wrong and there is no limit to perfection. My mistakes for the month of June:
Because of my lifestyle, I have a lot of multitasking. Let me put it this way, it's convenient to arrive at work knowing your time frame for spending time there. In my case, nothing is known. I estimate how much time it will take for each task. In doing so, I make a mistake. The first things may get done, but there may not be a battery left for the rest. This is about learning new skills and additional development in the issues that are important to me. Next point, because of this schedule it can be difficult to put in the maximum intensity in the movement, especially when it goes according to plan. CNS has to be charged only for this aspect. Sometimes I'm not informed in advance on certain things. Like tomorrow I have to be there and there. Which, of course, really throws me off balance. Again, I would understand those who are involved in several projects at once and work for themselves.

The next aspect - is not reliability. Unfortunately, many people pay only lip service to reliability. I will not go into the details of their work. But unfortunately, with our mentality, you will never meet the exact deadline if you have planned something. It's about elementary to lead people through the training process. Once you give a person even a little bit of indulgence or help with something, EVERYTHING!!! I have an example of a man who literally went on a binge 3 times in 3 months. You set up the whole training plan, food, tests, support from outside, and monitoring by criteria. The person at the finish line kills the hell out of everything. My mistake is making adjustments every 2 days. I'm in touch with everyone, I've never written long-term plans. But I understand that everyone has different responsibilities to the cause. So it's worth stepping away from that kind of initiative, only if the student is really executive, but I think that has to be earned. Plus, I was comparing prices in our area for training and abroad you have, the price tag is much different. I compared the difference and how, and of course, I will make adjustments. You may ask: What does this have to do with training, and have you ever programmed a couple of dozen plans (not just training at one time) not for the fuck? Calculated how long it might take???

Don't change equipment during the cycle when the start is over. My waist and glutes got a little smaller despite my set. My belt was getting a little inadequate. I decided to get a Velcro belt. And when I got to 90% weight, I was a little shocked at how it felt. It really wasn't going the way I wanted it to. I'm adding to this the extra things I started to do with rehab and stretching, which I also decided to upgrade and increase. All in all, I get, a little different work and amplitude of movement. Which introduced a restriction on going into peak conditioning.

Not reducing the volume of load in relatively light workouts. In June I did an experiment, what if I reduced the basic movements not only the intensity but also the volume. In a couple of weeks, I was immediately punished. Went over these points. Made some extra notes. I will work in a different way in July....

Hello. Then we are waiting for a detailed report, it became interesting

 

[Nerdrage_Hilmateam]

Midsummer. Decided to make an adjustment to the cycle. One of the reasons: it became a little difficult to go purely linear. I feel like my nervous system can't go to its maximum every workout. So I decided to do 3 maximum intensity workouts and 3 volume workouts with less intensity in basic movements and 3 workouts with 80-90% of the desired max. I haven't manipulated the food yet. But I am planning to try and increase my food ration. I also use 1 unit of Infrajet during my workouts. My own weight is 110 kg. My workouts are 2 + 1. During the day without any ironwork, I do cardio, stretching, and rehab some joints.

Also, I decided to make an experiment for myself. Because of the busyness, I decided to make 3 meals liquid. It is very hot now and the temperature goes up to +40 degrees and we are, unfortunately, very dry and not very humid. I don't have a hard time eating in any season. But when I sit down to eat, it takes enough time, so I decided to try this option. For the second point, I decided to train every workout at the beginning for 5 sets of calves. Let's see what comes out of it.

And how does that food feel? It’s important for me to chew, because I’m not satiated and feeling hungry.

 

[Nerdrage_Hilmateam]

And how does that food feel? It’s important for me to chew, because I’m not satiated and feeling hungry.

I use about 120 carbs 55 protein and some fat in there in 1 liquid intake. Honestly, I don't eat much by nature. So every time I plan something new, I include liquid meals. Now we've also had watermelon for a couple of months. I can drink about 3 liters in 1 hour. That's about 240 carbs. That's enough for me at this point. But I feel like I need to go over +750 carbs.

Oh, I don't know about the watermelon, it seems to me there is more water than good. Plus fiber. I ate not eating complex carbohydrates, without strength. It's just for fun

Carbohydrates are glucose. If someone is not satiated it is worth paying attention to complex carbohydrates and fiber. And also the peculiarity of the small intestine, because absorption begins there. Just eating 1 kilogram of dry cereal is cruel

 

[Nerdrage_Hilmateam]

I started a slightly different cycle as described above.

In the bench press, I worked up to 145 kilos
Squat 200 in the classics and 240 on the box
Classical deadlift 220 and then I worked on the grip in the lock
Weights are not for 1 rep, at least 3 or more.

The other movements are progressing pretty well too. Very strong pumping of muscle groups. Lately, it's been going to my biceps, and I don't really do any separate exercises for it. But it seems that I became hypertonic because of the volume of my pulls. I'm using a percussion gun now, hopefully, I'll be able to sleep the heaviness in my arms in these couple of days.

1 kg is very strong, I could not.
