It’s your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here and my good
\nfriend Dave “The Muscle Cook”<\/a> Ruel and I are back in the gym
\nand taking advantage of the post bodybuilding contest rebound… <\/p>\n

Just in case you are not familiar with the whole concept of
\nthe post “bodybuilding competition rebound”<\/em><\/strong> this is how it works. <\/p>\n

Basically when you have been on a calorie restricted diet for
\nmonths on end and then all of a sudden get a huge influx of
\ncalories (i.e. pigging out after the show)<\/em> This fills out
\nyour muscles with water, glycogen, and nutrients. It also
\nsends your body’s natural anabolic hormones into over drive! <\/p>\n

To give you an idea of just how extreme this can be. I weighed
\n187 pounds this past Saturday after cutting water for the
\nAtlantic Classic bodybuilding show. On Monday, just 48 hours
\nlater, I’m back up to 207 pounds! A full 20 pound gain in 2 days!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Granted most of this weight gain is water, but my muscles are so
\nfull and tight that I’m getting insane pumps in the gym. It’s
\nalmost like my muscles are going to explode! <\/p>\n

I just posted up a YouTube video of our first workout after
\nthe show: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. We also hit a few
\nposes afterwards and we’ve got crazy muscle fullness and
\nvascularity! <\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n

================================ <\/p>\n

P.S.
\nStay tuned because tomorrow I’m going to be posting up
\na killer YouTube video of a hardcore “challenge” workout… <\/p>\n

There were 4 BIG dudes training together:
\n– Big Luke who is 245 pounds and built like a tank!
\n– Dave “The Muscle Cook”<\/a> Ruel at a ripped 230 pounds!
\n– Big Remi at a lean and powerful 217 pounds!
\n– And myself, the little man of the group, at just 207 pounds \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

We would start each exercise with a warm up weight and
\nthen go one after the other, each set adding more weight to
\nthe bar and keep going until we hit failure and had to drop out.
\nEach exercise we did was a competition to see who could lift the
\nmost weight or bang out the most reps! <\/p>\n

Let me tell you, this kind of training motivation and competition
\nwill drive you to give it 100%, after all none of us wanted to be
\nconsidered a pussy and finish last! <\/p>\n

It’s going to be a kick ass video that you don’t want to miss! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
