Well…watching some of the videos you all posted actually re-energized me for a GREAT leg day…it’s rare that watching others offers motivation to me, so I thought I would to a RARE blog of one of my training sessions…

Today, Quads:
6 sets of single leg extensions, ALL 15 reps. As the weight was light, I went slower and as it got heaver…faster.
The pounds per leg – 90, 120, 150, 170, 190, 200…all 15 reps

Squats – normal stance
135 for 25 reps
225 for 20 reps
315 for 15 reps
405 for 15 reps
495 for 12 reps
585 for 8 reps

Hack Squats - narrow stance
6 plates each side for 20 reps
7 plates each side for 15 reps and two sets

Then Sumo squats – 225 for 15 reps
315 for 12 reps
405 for 12 reps

Barbell lunges – (seriously…no kidding…ask Oscar, he witnessed one of these a few weeks ago ;)
405 for 10 reps each
495 for 8 reps each

That’s it!

THANK YOU all for posting those videos…WORD!

May 8th and 9th, 2009

Hosted by  Jason C. Powell and Kai

Congratulations to all the athletes of the first Lone Star Weekend!  All of you raised the bar for the future competitors as EVERY competitor came to this event ready and hungry to win.  This class of athletes was the most conditioned class I have seen in my 15 plus years in this industry!  Thank you all! Ryan Custer of Cougar Energy Drink excited the crowd with their search to the point of the authorities coming out for the “disturbance”…but when they saw the women, well, I guess there was no problem!!!  LOL!  Congratulations to Bethany Clarke for winning the search and Hilary Coffie for winning the Hot Mom contest.

Alex Ballines of Optimum Nutrition allowed our audience to ask the question to their potential spokespeople, what a great idea!  Real questions from real consumers…it was awesome.  Mandy Fonville edged out newcomer Malcolm Houston for the search…BUT, it looks like the BOTH will be used by the supplement great!!  Congratulations to you both!

Visit the results pages for more information and testimonials from our athletes and spectators…this was a first class event excitement to sophistication.

It stated the ABA is the ONLY natural organization in the WORLD that actually tests its athletes. I am highly disappointed at both the ABA organization and its listed representative for the show, Denny Kakos, =”Popup.composeWindow(’pcompose.php?sendto=n
aturalABA@aol.com’); return false;” href=”mailto:naturalABA@aol.com” mce_href=”mailto:naturalABA@aol.com”>naturalABA@aol.com. First, that is a lie. Second, such an egregious statement goes against both what natural athletes stand for and this statement discredits the entire movement for all natural athletes.As a professional natural bodybuilder, I take statements like this personally as I already have to battle challenges from individuals on a daily basis… Now from our own…it’s very discouraging. I have competed in the NGA, Musclemania, FAME and tested IFBB international shows…I have been tested at least twice a year for the past 13 plus years by polygraph, urinalysis and even blood tests. In shows I personally have promoted, I have tested and busted athletes.

As a competitor, I cannot be an active competitor in the about 30 different organizations in just the USA, there are too many…I chose FAME as my home. So, my hope is that each of you that read this message as many natural organizations as you can, demanding they work together for the good of the cause or keep their mouth closed…or even better yet, close their doors for good.

We all work too hard to have our own people spread lies, rumors and discredit what we devote our lives to. Thank you all for your time reading this important matter.

After watching yet another episode of the Biggest Loser…I thought to myself again…Why do these morbidly obese people continue to get rewarded for doing what they are supposed to do in the first place?

Why not start rewarding the people who never let themselves get to that point, who make the sacrifices their entire life, stay fit and healthy, and never give into gordging themselves time after time?

I feel pretty strong that we are all in need for a time of "Accountability of Self". As antiquated as it is, even the food pyramid will keep you healthy and not obese…we all know at every income level and culture that fried foods are not good for you, too much candy and sweets are BAD…

So, what’s it gonna take for there to be a needed shift towards rewarding the people who take care of themselves, and away from rewarding those who live a life of gluttony, lack of self respect and then look to the "community" to solve their issue brought on by their own doing?

Whew…that feels better!

American Champ.!!! http://blog.bodybuilding.com/jasoncpowell/2008/09/01/9-weeks-out-from-the-fame-n-american-champ/ http://blog.bodybuilding.com/jasoncpowell/2008/09/01/9-weeks-out-from-the-fame-n-american-champ/#comments Tue, 02 Sep 2008 07:04:26 +0000 jasoncpowell Training Other Competitions Contests http://blog.bodybuilding.com/jasoncpowell/2008/09/01/9-weeks-out-from-the-fame-n-american-champ/ I’m 9 weeks out now from FAME’s N. American Championships at the Miami Conference Center. After placing 2nd at their Worlds in June…I am certainly on the hunt for the win!
So, the big question…what am I going to change this time around…well, I will load a little more the two days before the show as I looked better Sunday midday than on stage Saturday. And…I have been using Vassive-NO since 12 weeks out as well as Nitro Core 24 at bed time as I found some success with a similar “made-at-home” formula last time around.
Since one of the biggest problems for most of us dieting is the drop in energy and focus the weeks leading up to the contest, I am hoping Vassive-NO will help.

I will be working a little more on my routine as well…so any creative thoughts on a theme are welcome!!

Obviously, the IFBB does not follow this policy…at all!  Actually, I put out the challenge to any of the Olympia competitors to allow an independent party…me, to test them and post the results.  All on my expense, and if I am wrong in that they are using steroids, GH or any other prohibited substance listed in the WADA prohibited substance list…I will be the goat’s ass…
Oh…and here is the direct page that lists their stance on this policy http://www.ifbb.com/page.php?id=23
Cheers!
