I decided to take a step away from physique competitions for a while and dive into deadlifting. While I certainly love the actual training that is required for physique competitions, I dislike the lack of physical competition on the actual day of the show and cannot stand participating in something that is so subjective. Therefore, [...]

Today I officially started a my new training and nutrition program. I have no competitions coming up in the near future, so now is a great time to simply train the way I want but with the structure and discipline that is associated with competition prep. Brickhouse Miami has been blessed with a surge of [...]
What is Your Favorite Post-Workout Potion?
Posted: July 21, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Lucas G. IrwinOne of the questions I am asked most frequently is in regards to post workout supplementation and food. While there are countless variations, the basic formula is essentially the same. Ill share with you my current favorite combo…. please post your mixture of choice!! Post workout Magic: Stage 1: ASAP DGC (Dextrose) Creatine Glutamine Amino [...]
Thew together this video a couple weeks ago. This is just a few days after competing at the REAL Lone Star; so my strength was down and I just wanted to prove to myself that I hadnt fallen to far back during prep. This is my 4th and final set after a full leg workout……
I’ve never pretended to like contest-prep training; It pretty much sucks. With a new Challenge Division being added with to the REAL Organization, I have gone back training that is very similar to my NCAA Football training days; just much more educated and calculated. I am not currently training for pure aesthetics; though I am [...]
Lucas G. Irwin – REAL Lone Star
Posted: May 18, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Athlete Blogs, Lucas G. IrwinThe 2010 REAL Lone Star was an amazing event and I took 3rd in the Male Pro Fitness Model Showdown. I came in looking exactly how I wanted to look; which was fuller and not so depleted. While this is one of my lower placings, it is by far the happiest I have been with [...]
The 2010 REAL Lone Star is just about here and I am really looking forward to this event! The carb, sodium and water manipulation is in effect and I have made some adjustments to help make sure I come in fuller than I did at the World championships. It looks like ill be hitting the [...]
I have been leaner at this point in my training for past shows. However, it is a result of me really trying to maintain mass and size for the stage this time around. I do believer I am in a good position still and have already begun to add additional cardio sessions to my day; [...]
Lucas Irwin: 48 Days Out: Diet Alterations
Posted: March 21, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Lucas G. IrwinWe are closing in fast and my diet has finally hit its plateau. I will now be changing to a diet in which I will be eating every 2 hours from now until the REAL Lone Star Pro Showdown.

WEIGHT: 209lbs So I have officially dropped over 30 pounds at this point and I feel great. My energy levels are sill high and my strength is holding strong. While I am not shooting for a specific weight, it looks as though I will be competing at 199-201lbs at 6’2”. This could put me as [...]

WEIGHT: 214lbs As of this morning, I am down 26 pounds! I am actually very pleased with how little my strength has gone down; 315 still feels light on the bench, 5 plates on my back doesn’t seem like it is going to crush me and I can still pull over 400 on my RDLs. [...]

WEIGHT: 216.5 To this point, I am very satisfied with my training and progress. I am still staying as heavy as I can on all of my lifts and avoiding the 13+ rep ranges, unless it is a burnout. My waist has really started to shrink and I am seeing the benefits of avoiding direct [...]
Lucas G. Irwin: 94 Days Out – Hamstrings
Posted: February 3, 2010 by unbreakablegear in Lucas G. IrwinNothing maintainss a rock-hard, muscular physique while cutting down better than “short”, high-intensity weight training sessions. Too many competitors, especially natural competitors, bail on the training that got them where they are in the first place. You dont need to completely sacrifice weight on the bar in persuit of an optimal heart-rate. Keep the weight [...]

I got a great back workout in today with Alex Stewart of Bentancur Nutrition and Bodybuilding.com. I had a low carb day yesterday and I dont eat before my AM training; so I really had to dial in the mental game today. Overall, the training was heavy, intense and pretty damn good! I will keep [...]
Thus far, all is going as planned. I have been incredibly busy with both of my businesses; but so long as all of my meals are pre-made, the busy schedule actually makes dieting easy. I am far too busy to think about any hunger or cravings. The strength decline that is typically associated with dieting [...]

I hate the treadmill, the bike and the eliptical as much as the next person; so I love to utilize circuit training to kill the boredom. However, this doesnt mean i throw together 4 different exercises of 15-20 reps a piece; I want to hold on to this new muscle I busted my butt for! [...]

WEIGHT: 225 Pounds Yeah, so the first 15 dropped like nothing. When you really push to gain weight like I did this off season, your body will be holding a good amount of weight that it really cannot wait to get rid of. I knew that this “Garbage Weight” would drop quick, I just didnt [...]

Weight: 240 pounds Here we go!!! I got up and hit up my morning cardio today at Tess Lobon’s Miami Strength and Fitness Club in the Falls area. I am going to be doing my AM cardio there as opposed to my gym (Brickhouse) to eliminate any early morning distractions. When I come to Brickhouse [...]
