man, i just jumped into this log and i've read some crazy stuff here DJ. Why are you taking hormones when you don't have training and diet down? You could probably gain 10-15 pounds alone if you'd just sit down and learn the basics. If your not able to learn alot on this site (which i highly doubt) then go pick up a book like the encyclopedia of bodybuilding. Knowledge is power in this little sport of ours and you never stop learning. You also seem to have quite a few people in your gym who know what their doing so why don't you see whether one of them needs a training partner. I've found more information about bodybuilding from people i've trained with any other source. Hormones should be used by people who have mastered their training and diet. On the flipside of the coin i must applaud you for your love of the sport and the fact that you still keep trying even though you seem stuck in a training rut. Not many people would keep plugging away. Anyways i'm along for the ride but i think it's time you start listening to all these people's advice. We've all had to use someones advice in the gym at one time or another. anyways keep up the high quality vids and throw out the ego. good luck!

I consume a high protein diet. I get about 1 to 2 grams of protein per body weight.
I consume around 4000 to 5000 calories. I get in about 15 grams of fiber in a day up to 30 grams depending on the day of the week. I get my fats from nuts and fish oils, avocados. Most my complex carbs are from whole grains, pastas.My simple carbs are around my workout which is from vitargo etc.

 

[punthra]

what are you deriving your protein from? Liquid protein is not nearly as efficient as whole meals. If you choose to not eat meat perhaps you should research people such as Bill Pearl, who is a vegan but is also a legend in bodybuilding. it is clear that your diet is not working for you as you are taking two very efficient hormones and you are not making any gains in size. once again, read up cause no one knows everything. i just see you stuck in a rut and i'm trying to help you instead of crap on you for what you are doing.

 

[djbombsquad]

Bean and cheese with egg burritos few times a week. Bagel cream cheese. Peanut butter etc.

 

[punthra]

how are you getting you total protein when you are only eating these things occasionally during the week. that means you must be deriving the vas majority of your protein from protein shakes, which just won't cut it. i don't know alot about diets like yours but i think you should do some research so you can continue to move forward in the gym.

 

[djbombsquad]

Bean and cheese with egg burritos few times a week. Bagel cream cheese. Peanut butter etc.

 

[punthra]

your beginning to make me feel like i'm talking to a brick wall. If you don't want help from all of us on your thread then why are you posting? I tell people what i am doing so that people can help me ( i don't know everything ). numerous people on here are trying to help you but all you've done is copped excuses and locked yourself into a set routine without and variance. you seem intelligent enough to understand that what your doing isn't working but you also seem to stubborn to move on from your mistakes. Stop trying to argue with everyone and just take the help. lots of these people have a ton of knowledge and are willing to share, you just need to stop being so closed minded

 

[djbombsquad]

Im not going to change my routine mid cycle. It will throw me off. Maybe when I finish my 1 4 ad I can look in to a different routine.

 

[hman85]

How do you get that amount of protein from beans and pb?

 

[djbombsquad]

Mid work out I get 50 grams from my mass stack I have been doing a while. My post work out I get 30 grams as well.

My bean and cheese egg has 25 grams. PB and J has another 10 grams.
My breakfast shake and cereal combined has 30 grams.
My protein snacks have about 10 grams of protein.

Leucine shakes 7 grams.

I am guestamating right now as I am not at home to confirm exact figures.

 

[punthra]

i'm going to follow your log quietly from here on out as i can't help someone who doesn't want help. i ate healthier when i was in high school and had no idea about nutrition. Good luck DJ, i hope your stubborness won't make you hate this sport eventually.

 

[TexasLifter89]

what are your macro totals? I don't see your weight being enough in protein a day. And i certainly bet you are not getting above 300G carbohydrates a day. People give you advice and you don't take it. This is why you still look the way you do, if that is how you want to stay fine. Don't come here and shun off advice then.

I definitely would not do 20+ reps before I go heavy, you get tired out. Yes warmup 12-15 at most, I do 2 light sets of 10 then bump up the wt. I would FINISH my squat routine with the 20 reps, def rest-pause technique.

Also, I still dont think you could be doing 800 properly, espec comparing that to other leg exercises. I do similar wt but not on the leg press, no way if I go deep like i should.

Dumbell pressed 60 lbs at 9 reps

[djbombsquad]

Tonight I felt great. Pumped excited. Good energy. The gym was packed so I had lots of waiting. I does it 2:1:1:2 again that seems to work for me better than the 2:2:2. I do not feel the burn when dosing that way.

what does this have to do with your diet?

Obviously you are lost and confused.

To get Big you have to eat big, no offense but I laughed my ass off when you said "Bean and cheese with egg burritos few times a week. Bagel cream cheese. Peanut butter etc."

a few times a week? c'mon buddy did you mean daily? a few times DAILY ?

 

[djbombsquad]

No. I mix it up threw out the week so I don't get board of it. By the end of the day I get well past 4000 calories and lot of times up to 5000.

 

[TexasLifter89]

with how much protein, carb, and fats?

 

[djbombsquad]

Scroll up I mentioned about how much protein fats carbs I get in.

 

[TexasLifter89]

Scroll up I mentioned about how much protein fats carbs I get in.

no you didn't. you said you eat a bean and egg and whatever the hell else burrito and listed out some gram stuff. you never said exact fats, protein, and carbs. I am fairly active and don't have much trouble gaining size when I want/need to. especially on a cycle man. I watched some people gain 10Lbs+ plus on this. That means it is you, not the 1ad/4ad.

 

[pistonpump]

wow this guy is hopeless, seriously. find a new hobbie bro you are going to spend a lifetime trying to break 150lbs even with steroids! You have no clue man

 

[hman85]

Your diet method is like trying to catch a rhino with a fly swatter. Listen to these guys they are trying to help. Stuborness will get you no where.

Buddy get off the calorie kick, its about QUALITY not quantity! Your getting high cals from peanut butter, cream cheese, cheese and burritoes!!!

HERES THE KICKER...... YOUR not growing! Well barely. Does this not tell you that somthing is wrong?

Ive blown your progress out of the water in my log WITH NO SUPPS! and guess what I CANT GET ANYTHING for a log!! I cant even get my damn PEAK BETA that was allegedly sent!! I won that fair and square then you roll along with tardglish and put up this pathetic log.

Its one thing to start dumb... but you want to stay there with your pimp socks, gyno, 143 frame taking vids of your self with a weight belt on and 0 test production.

Stupid.

I hope you continue this log for when you crash and burn afterwards cause you aint gonna go nowhere without hormones.

The thing that really pisses me off at this stage is AMS, Legal Gear,(EDIT: Applied neutriceuticals does ship to CAN) and Omega WONT send supps to canada for customs and shipping BUT will send you GEAR for FREE and when you screw it up this only makes them scrutinize everyone else further.

My buddy throws around more weight than you and the rest of your family and cant get chosen for a log cause of fools like you.

You are ruinging all the great things about this board with your filthy log.

You give BB'ers a bad name so get a new name for when people ask what it is that you are doing. rant over.

Ouch, the truth hurts sooo good.
SWG - I will go through my stock and see what I can send you to log for IBE. You are well deserving, my friend.

I can't take this log anymore; it makes me sick.

Bravo - fucking - Bravo SWG :bandit:

btw, have AMS distances themselves from this farce? I would like to see what their comments are :bandit:

We are watching.

Dj, in reality these guys have given you nothing but good advice and deep down have the best intentions. Nobody here is out to hurt you (the negative comments are likely out of frustration more then anything).

At this point I would also have to agree that you were not quite ready for such a cycle. You really need to take a closer look at the diet and training and really hammer it down before you start using items like 1-Andro and 4-AD. This cycle would have been much more gratifying for you had you done this.

If you would like you can wrap this log up and take time to work on your training and nutrition. Use this log and the advice people gave you as a resource to look back on before you plan your next split/diet.

In the end I think everyone can agree that your love for the sport is admirable. I'm admittedly envious as you have met some of the stars of the sport.

Thank you for the log DJ (I'm not being sarcastic here, I do truly appreciate the effort you put forth since I believe your intentions were good).

 

[Royd The Noyd]

Btw SWG, I'm looking into the customs issue further. We will explore some alternative ideas but at this point its all I can promise. But I'd agree both you and punthra would be kick ass loggers for any product so you have my support whenever you need it.

This is a great post and attitude. I agree DJ did seem to try his best, lesson learned keep at it just wait awhile for the hormones. I was a little amped up after leg day and prolly got a lil harsh. I have not been reprimanded by anyone but always try to keep a cool head. I think my mones are ragin.

 

[punthra]

i definitely agree with royd, you should get your diet and training in check before you continue with PH's. Your videos are great and you have met alot of my heroes but everything else seems to be out of wack. Once you get your diet in check, i would imagine you would start gaining weight without the use of hormones. I would suggest perhaps gaining weight for a while just off diet and then perhaps add the hormones in when your training and diet have come into complete alignment.

 

[Steveoph]

DJ if you're willing to post a meal-log and take some advice, I am willing to try and help you with your diet any-way I can.

 

[punthra]

take this gentleman's help. i want to see you reach some of your goals and continue with this sport because more people need to have your enthusiasm

 

[djbombsquad]

So I got my test levels back. I will scan them tonight. They went up to 600 which means it works but the Dr. Was not impressed that it did not go any higher. That is only a 200 jump. He was thinking it would go as high as 700-800 which is a better number.

 

[djbombsquad]

DJ if you're willing to post a meal-log and take some advice, I am willing to try and help you with your diet any-way I can.

I can make a meal log and you will see I am getting close to 5000 calories as much as possible every day. I will make a separate log for that.

 

[djbombsquad]

This is my levels.

how do you have .5 DB's? almost all my gyms are 5 lbs increments, not .5's

 

[John Smeton]

how do you have .5 DB's? almost all my gyms are 5 lbs increments, not .5's

yeah they have them when I lived in another city at one of the most hardcore gyms in Tennessee they I trained at they had 42.5's.

 

[djbombsquad]

One of the gyms I went to happened to have it. Not all gyms have it. My gym near by was closed so I had to go to the one down the street and it was 2.5 increase 45 to 47.5. not 45 to 45.05.

its been a year and a half since I lived there. i remember the 47,5's I think this gym stopped there; although, they did go up to 160 dumbells. awesome gym the Olympia is the name of it in Murfreesboro TN.(college city)

 

[xjsynx]

yeah they have them when I lived in another city at one of the most hardcore gyms in Tennessee they I trained at they had 42.5's.

Smeton mai man, how has it been?

And one of the 24hr gyms I trained at where incremented by 2.5lb up to 60lbs or so...

 

[djbombsquad]

I need those 2.5 because for me to jump 5lbs each arm would kill. I wish they even had 1lb increments sounds dumb but would work wonders for me.
Think about it 2lbs a week 8lbs a month 96lbs a year with what ever I do x5 years 480lbs in theory.

My last arm workout was pretty tough, because I had to jump up 5lbs.

Another option is Plate Mates, which are magnets you add to the dumbbells. I believe they increment in 0.25lbs

 

[djbombsquad]

Thanks for the tip xjsynx I will for sure order them then. It would really benefit me at the gym.

$32 or so for two 1.5lb dumbells or 5/8 lb. Pair. 5/8 is how close to 1lb? Does the price sound right?

 

[TexasLifter89]

$32 or so for two 1.5lb dumbells or 5/8 lb. Pair. 5/8 is how close to 1lb? Does the price sound right?

1 pound is 8/8.. so you have a 5/8... that means it is 3/8 away from being a pound. 5/8 comes out to be around .625 lbs. so a little over half a pound. That is simple math man come on :yawn:

 

[pistonpump]

this guy isnt too sharp if you havent noticed.

dj i thought you were getting kicked out of your place? no wonder you dont have money you buy into everything and it still doesnt matter cuz you dont have the basics of diet or training down. just keep throwing away your money on nonsense like your mantaray or whatever you called it, oh and tube socks, get more oh oh oh! and bodybuilding tshirts too! dont forget your cool shades!

 

[djbombsquad]

Plate Mate Donut 1.25 lb. Pair of those and
Plate Mate Donut 5/8 lb. Pair pare of those.
Me getting kicked out has nothing to do with me having or not having money.

well, yeah according to you it does. You don't have enough money for the rent, and you work in a doctor's surgery . . . remember?

Unless, as I suspect, you're one of those spoilt brat rich kids that gets a generous allowance from the family trust :bandit:
