Ok well over in the Q & A thread for Universal/Animal, I had asked what kind of promo or logging opportuintes the BN members would like to see. Someone mentioned a contest, so here is what I came up with. This should be a fun way to start promos over here and yes there are supps involved.

What this contest is exactly:

I want to read about the most hardcore work out you have ever had in your life. I'm talking days you puked on yourself in the squat rack, or did deads until you literally collapsed on the floor. Be honest with these. If you did chest till you couldn't move tell me. Everyones hardcore is different so don't be shy post up what has brought about the most pain in your time training or write about the one work out that you almost quit in, but found it deep down to push through some how. I know all of us have had them at times. So all you have to do is tell me about your craziest most intense day of training.

What's at stake:

I'm giving away 2 Anabolic Window of Opportunity stacks here.

The Anabolic Window of Opportunity stack is made up of Shock Therapy, Intra-Aid, and Torrent. It covers all of your pre, intra, and post work out nutritional needs. I figured since the 2 lucky people to win this contest go hard, they may like some extra help to push them through those grueling work outs.

Here are the links to the products so you can check them out:

Go ahead, post away! I'm ready to read about some killer work outs.

Good luck to all who enter!

Deadline: 9-29-09

Awesome idea for the contest. Although I wonder how many far fetched stories will be posted

I've done the puke squat thing a couple of times, actually. Not right in the rack, thankfully. But I had been doing a bunch of sets, not much rest at all between them. I was trying to push myself harder than normal because I always have the impression that my legs are probably lagging.

Anyway, after one of the later sets I was done and went to sit down on a nearby bench, thinking I was about to keel over, since my heart was pounding and and I was breathless. I thought I just need to rest for a few, get some water and I'll be fine.

So, I headed for the locker room, got some water and immediately knew it wasn't going to sit well. I went to a stall and was about to kneel so I could puke in the toilet. Instead i just let loose all OVER the toilet....LOL. The poor clean up guy must have been pissed later.

There was just no holding it back and I think my body was just saying "Enough w/ the squats!!!" I can remember coming back out trying to play it cool, but apparently it was obvious the way my eyes were bugged out and watery, etc. My gf was there w/ me that day and took one look at me and said "WTF....did you just get sick in there???". I guess she couldn't relate to the "squat til you puke" saying...LOL.

I supersetted biceps and triceps once, that was as hardcore as my body could handle.

Hopefully, PF will post up a story lol

PF idea of hardcore will probably be some sex story that happened at the gym. Ah he wins hands down even before he post!

i did a full body workout squats/deads/bench/handstand pushups/ barbell rows/ all 3 sets and ended with 3 drops and static holds or rest pauses. then supersetted tris bis and calves.. i was light headed for ABOUT 30 mins after and felt nasueos

I got another good one from back when I was like 15. This was in the days of "mega packs" when a lot of supps. came in the little packs that you'd take pre, post, etc. So, before one workout, I had down a pack and then also took several other things...amino caps, herbs, this and that and headed for the gym.

I suppose I didn't drink enough water because at one point between sets, i burped and it cause a big puff of "smoke" to shoot out of my mouth. it was just that I had a ton of powder in my stomach from all those caps and not enough water to disperse it all.

I can remember ppl staring at me like what the hell??? I musta looked like some kind of supplement dragon! That might have looked slightly hardcore.

I guess ill be honest and post probably my hardest workout. Me and a buddy from college decided one leg day we would do squats and only squats for leg day. We decided we would do 15 sets of 10 reps and get down as deep as we could go. We warmed up with 135 for 1 or 2 sets.. then put 225 on the bar and began our 15 sets. We stayed at 225 for the entire 15 sets. I started out then as soon as I was done he got under the bar and began repping his reps out. We would take 1-2 min breaks between sets. By set 7 or 8 I started to hate when I heard him re rack the weight because I knew I was up next. When we got to sets 14-15 I honestly wanted to pass out. The zone I was in was unlike anything else I have experienced. I almost felt like I wasn't in my own body. My legs and ass were so pumped they were throbbing. We managed to complete our leg day and all was fine til the next day when I woke up. I couldn't walk the next day or the day after. I couldn't sit down without pain. I even skipped my Monday classes because I knew I couldn't walk to class. People have probably done this many many times before us and its probably easy to someone who is well trained. It was just an accomplishment for me because as most of you guys know I'm an below the knee amputee.

ok picture it. I pull up to the gym blasting Phil Colins. (in the air tonight)

I step out with my Affliction Tshirt and matching Durag.

I kick open the gym doors and the music stops. everyone turns and stares.

I put on my Belt and proceed to head over to the smith machine.

There was some Noob on the machine but i told him to scram. I wiped the bench down with anti bacterial Purell and i sanitize that bitch, hardcore style!

Then i load that fucker up. Eight 45 plates. I make sure the safety latches are working properly and i turn on my mp3 player. Its phil colins again.

Then i pace back and forth so everyone can see me. I start slapping my chest and mumbling obscenities to myself. FUCK YA!

Then i slide under the bar carefully because the seat was still wet from all the purell. Im ready Son!!!!!

I bang out 2 reps with a 4 inch rom and scream as loud as i can with each "rep"

BAM!

Everyone is smiling and some people are laughing and pointing cause theyre all impressed. i give everyone a thumbs up and moonwalk to the lockers.

BEST.WORKOUT.EVER!


I'll just PM you my address now since i know i already won.

I squat the way everyone else squats. My amputation is below the knee.. So i still have my knee which is a blessing! I see the ones who lose their legs above the knee and to me they have it so much harder than I do.

Well i might as well jump in- also this is no BS i think Javy is close enough to come and witness a shoulder day with me.

It was a shoulder day, i started out with a warm up on BD should presses with 60's for 20 reps, next set was 80's for 15, then 90's for 10, then 100's for 8, then i decided if 100's were that easy i was going to do 110's for 6, well i only got 4 for that set. Next i moved on to DB lateral raises, 25's for 15, 35's for 12, 40's for 10, and then 50's for 8. Then i moved on to hiting rear delts, i sat down on a bench and bent forward till my stomach was ontop of my quads and did reverse flys, first was 35s for 12, then 40's for 12, then 50's for 10. By this time, i hadnt noticed but i had start to develop alot of bruising on my shoulders and my wife and a friend pointed it out. I had the biggest pump ive ever had in my shoulders. Then i went to front DB raises 35's for 10, 45's for 10, 50's for 8, and 50's again for 8. By this time i was feeling pretty burnt out but i love to kill shoulder, ive lost a workout partner from a injury he got on a shoulder day, so i went to the smith machine for behind the head military press. I pulled up a upright bench and slaped on 45's for each side, i hit 15 for the first set, so i added 25's to each side. The next set was for 12, and i took the 25's and replaced them with another set of 45's, so thats like 90lbs on each side( i dont think the bar adds wieght witha smith machine). SO my last set i hit for 8 reps. Well i didnt throw up or any thing but i did end up going hypo by the time i got home. I pass out in the kitchen when getting my shake ready, and woke up to my wife pouring MT Dew in my face trying to get it in my mouth. That so far has been about the craziest day ive had, ended up with a bumb on the head and a bunch of poped blood vessels in my shoulders. But since i just had surgery im proly not going to be having any more hardcore workout days, so im going to work smarter and not harder.

Back in my old highschool peanut butter protein days, I had a key to the weightroom because I worked there during the summers. I would always go workout around midnight every night because that was the only time I could seriously crank up the metal in the "Dungeon." Since I worked out so late, I never had a workout partner. We also didn't have clips for our bars either (tiny school). It was chest night for me, and of course being a high school hot shot, I had to get a max in somewhere that night. I did several sets on benchpress (probably around five or so sets) with an incredible 215lbs! The last set was shaky, but I was the man! So I went ahead and slapped 275 on the bar and proceeded to get to business (after finding a good song of course). I pushed 275 over my head with shaky arms and slowly lowered it to my chest. Got to my usual sticking point about 6 inches from my chest, and suddenly my right arm pushes up farther than my left arm could. All the weights on the left side of the bar slid to the floor which then caused the right side to plummet. In the process, the bar slammed into my face and pushed my nose to my ear. My workout was cut short, but I'd call that hardcore.

ya my delts are decent size and ive got some good striations, i will send u a pic. Im also very strong for some one my size too.

Soooo..... Do i win Josh?
