Mr. Olympia – Redcon1 Online Official https://redcon1online.com The Highest State of Readiness Wed, 01 Feb 2017 16:25:52 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 Dallas Journey to the Olympia – Day 31 https://redcon1online.com/dallas-journey-to-the-olympia-day-31/ Fri, 16 Sep 2016 19:55:18 +0000 https://redcon1online.com/?p=1123 Notes 

Today is the first major day of the Olympia Weekend! We started off the day following breakfast with a light flush workout of back and chest just as means to aid in shuttling nutrients not for the sake of muscle breakdown. 

Following training we made another grocery run to grab some extra cream of rice, eggs, bananas, just a few of the basics we will continue to use through the loading process. 

Dallas has the press conference at 12 pm today as well as the athletes meet and greet tonight at 7pm for those of you who are here we look forward to seeing you!

Training – Arms / Forearms /  Calves 

We are continuing to train biceps first since they are getting less secondary work than triceps. We just hit Chest yesterday so triceps were hit as a secondary muscle. We are still training triceps hard but just emphasizing biceps first within the workout. 
With the bicep movements the goal is to get full supination of the bicep so aim to have your pinky finger finish at peak contraction towards the outside of the delt cap. 

Exercise 1 – Straight sets 

Standing Alternating DB Curl 

Working up to 3 hard sets at the same weight within the 10-15 rep range 

Exercise 2 – straight sets 

Incline Supinated Bicep Curl 

We used a slight incline here with the goal of really keeping shoulders pinned back against the pad. 

On these reps we cut out all momentum and did both full ROM reps as well as partials out of the stretched position. 

3 working sets in the 10-12 rep range plus 3-5 partials. 

Exercise 3 – Straight sets 

Machine Single Arm Machine

Working full stretch through peak contraction on each rep + 3 forced partials on each side. 

3 working sets in the 10-12 rep range plus 3 forced reps.

Exercise 4 – Straight sets

Again here we are trying to fully lengthen the bicep so an easy way to do this is to contract your tricep in the fully extended position. 

2 sets of 15 on each arm 

Triceps

Exercise 1 – Straight sets 

Incline Skull Crusher 

Pyramid up in weight, all sets performed to failure around the ranges listed. 

30/25/20/15

INTO 

Traditional Standing Rope Extension splitting rope at full extension while keeping arms into sides throughout 

INTO

Exercise 4 – Straight sets 

Cable Single Arm Reverse Extension 

2 sets of 15 on each arm 

Forearms Circuit

Notes From Matt

We ended up calling an audible yesterday and training shoulders and saving back for today. Back was still a bit sore from last week so we wanted to give it an extra day to rest. So what you are seeing below is the shoulder workout that we did yesterday. The back workout posted yesterday is what we will be doing today. Today we will also be training with Massive Joe who is a guest of Redcon1 today coming from Australia! 

Be sure to following along today on IG and Snapchat as we document the training day!

Cardio 

20 min AM 

Training – Shoulders 

Exercise 1 – Superset 

Standing Lateral Raises INTO Standing Wide grip Upright row

This is a great superset for the medial delts 

Going as heavy as possible within the realm that it is a superset. 

12 reps on each 3 rounds

Exercise 2 – Superset 

Incline Camber Bar Supinated Front Raise using a close grip INTO Incline Camber Bar Pronated Front raise with a wide grip 

12 reps on each and then doing top half partials to failure keeping tension primarily on the working muscle being primarily the front deltoid. 

Exercise 3 – Straight sets 

Seated Belt driven Shoulder press. 

Here we did as many full reps as possible followed by as many bottom half partials as we can do as long as we could get half way through the ROM. 

3 working sets around 15-25 reps per set with full reps as well as added partials 

Exercise 4 – Straight sets 

Seated Reverse Pec Deck 

Holding peak contraction on each rep. 

3×12-15 + stretch partials on each rep 

Exercise 5 – Straight sets 

Pronated Lateral Raises 

Here you are going to keep your palms facing back throughout. This done correctly is a shorter range of motion, Start with the DB’s ends on your glutes and drive laterally from that position. You will realistically only be able to get about halfway up before other muscles take over. 

Exercise 6 – Superset 

Bi lateral Hammer Shrugs x 15 

INTO 

Seated Low Row pulling high for mid trap emphasis rope rows x 15 

Finished up with 6 sets of ab work we are alternating ab and calves training every day.

Yesterday was a planned off day, very much needed and we got a good result from it yesterday sleep improved and weight increased a bit from not having as much energy expenditure. At this point we are taking things a few hours to a day at a time so for now we don’t plan on taking more off days but will if needed.
