“I was in a bad car accident in 2 weeks into football season my senior year in high school. I broke my back and after 2 months of bed rest I weighed only 130 lbs. I wore a back brace for another 2 months and underwent surgery. Over the following year I fully recovered, but by the end of my freshman year in college I was a sloppy 185lbs and saturated with alcohol. I finally started working out, but even after several years of training and dieting alone I couldn't attain the level I was reaching for. A friend recommended the RPM and DRIVE stack to me and it changed my life! The RPM, DRIVE, NEOVAR, IGF-2, and LIPO-PM stack helped me to become the 2010 Bodyspace Spokesmodel. I have been using Applied Nutriceuticals products for over a year now and truly believe that they were a key factor in getting the results that I had only dreamed of before.”
Workouts
Leading up to the 2010 BodySpace Spokes Model competition in L.A. I did my four days on and one day off workout routine. This is what the typical four days consisted of:
Day 1
4 sets of seated rows for of 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of incline dumbbell press 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of straight bar curls 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of seated calf raises 13 to 15 reps
Day 2
4 sets of Arnold presses 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of single arm reverse cable pull downs 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of squats 13 to 15 reps
4 sets of hanging "wipers" 13 to 15 reps
Day 3
4 sets of weighted wide grip pull ups 10 to 12
4 sets of cable flys from the bottom 10 to 12
4 sets of leg ext 10 to 12
1 set of overhead barbell press 10 to 12
2 sets of standing barbell calf raises
1 set of dumbbell hammer curls
1 set of single arm cable pull downs
Day 4
4 sets of leg presses 8 to 10
4 sets of flat bench dumbbell press 8 to 10
4 sets of barbell bent over rows 8 to 10
1 set of overhead dumbbell press 8 to 10
2 sets of single leg machine calf extensions 8 to 10
1 set of rope cable push downs 8 to 10
1 set of dumbbell curls 8 to 10 super setting pull ups to failure
4 sets of decline bench sit-ups
• After the one day rest I would repeat the number of sets and reps, substituting all exercises with alternate ones. Example: I would do dead lifts instead of squats, or cable curls instead of dumbbell curls.
• I never do the same lift two weeks in a row.
• I never lift without a stopwatch and switching everything up is a key part of my program.
• The biggest part of my program that separates it from most is the way that I hit failure on every set. If I have 60 or 90 second rest I always drop weight from beginning to end.
• The reps are set as a target and that is why there is a range, 13 to 15. If I hit absolute failure at 13 with one hundred pound dumbbells on incline bench, then I might drop to 90's on my next set and hit failure and 15.
• It is an intense program, but when done right, you would not even have to do any cardio to maintain a solid lean physique. That is why there is no cardio in my routine; I do not do any and have not for at least two years.
