Looks great!!!
Yah I will remove deads till the legs come back. The B.O. rows will still get it done. :thumbsup:It's official, we now know that DW is in fact human! Sorry to hear that the wheels are letting you down DW... time to get some extra rest so they can recover and come back strong next week.
Didn't make much sense though, crushing 305 for 10's then getting stuck with 3 on 315 and I've done 340 for 10 a month or so ago. It's the damage to the legs no doubt... still frustrating... puny human :chairshot:I SOOOOOOOOOO hear you on the legs issue DW!!!! I have been stuck at 315 since the surgery. I feel weak!!! Time for us old guys to heal!!
Good move and the legs will come back soon enough.Yah I will remove deads till the legs come back. The B.O. rows will still get it done. :thumbsup:
yah no choice but to be smart about it, don't like it when I have to be smart but glad I am...Good move and the legs will come back soon enough.
I was going over my old numbers for HST and man I am miles ahead on almost every lift. Can't really say that they are all personal records because I have a long history with some of these lifts except for front squats. Lets look at where I am with front squats, the max I planned for 10 reps last time I did HST was 230. I started 10 reps at 230!! I have already done 250 and that is probably a personal record but the 260 I will do tomorrow certainly will be. I have plans of going up to 280 for 10 reps which is 50 lbs over my last HST. :banana:I think that's a good plan when i am having trouble with an exercise I remove it then come back to it to test it out
Nice goal and I am sure you will hit it.I was going over my old numbers for HST and man I am miles ahead on almost every lift.

That's just a sample of how much heavier I am lifting, then you throw deads in on top of that. Is it any wonder I hit the wall....:crackhead: I normally do bent over rows.
I know that I will set a PR for sure on 10's but by how much remains to be seen, fugger's getting heavy!!Nice goal and I am sure you will hit it.
Like I said I'm already way ahead of my normal pace so we'll see...Hmmm, I would say I told you so, on the old "you're being to to hard on yourself", but I won't....
Great numbers Doug, pretty sure you'll nail that goal...
Thanks good of you to say, I am a little nuts and a little proud of that fact. I get to the point where I am about to break down though. Taking deads out for rows was a smart move.Dang DW this log is getting intense. Gains are being made left and right. You doing a bang up job! I swear at times i look at your workouts and think to myself...if i ever lift with this beast will i be able to keep up? LOL yeah this youngin gots a longs way to go
Keep it up!!
Very nice job DW!!!Thanks good of you to say, I am a little nuts and a little proud of that fact. I get to the point where I am about to break down though. Taking deads out for rows was a smart move.
That being said the 260 on front squats went very well this morning another personal record. Part of the lift belongs to God cuz I was prayin ...

Lat pulldown 160X 10 X 2

Finished up with bar of death and ab workout. long walk home.
Thanks, I'm payin for it though. My legs are screaming and they're getting pretty big... :happysad:Very nice job DW!!!
Me too!!!DW I would like to hear your thoughts on this run of the Pink Magic; how does it compare to the beta that we ran? I am going to be starting mine very soon and would like to hear any observations you have. Curious what the increased dosage is going to be like.

Funny how you guys should mention this, as I just realized I have been so focused in on the grind of my workouts that I have ommited going over the effect the supplements are having on other aspects.Me too!!!
I still have option 3 waiting in my cupboard at home, along with my next 4 weeks on swole and then my pp ph's which are on route
Thanks, I'm payin for it though. My legs are screaming and they're getting pretty big... :happysad:
Yah run them separate, more bang for the buck.Sounds good doug, I know what you mean on the grind though, I feel pretty much the same about my log and realise that I haven't talked much about the products for a while, will have to sort that out.... I've been tempted to add the magic, but I think I'm gonna run it solo or at least as was stacked in the option 3 package.
I'll have to see when the PP stuff arrives and then try and workout when to run my first cycle of that, although I suspect I'm gonna have to leave that until the new year...
'tis very very tempting to add the magic to my swole / DAA stack starting Friday, the last thing I want to do is waste it, but my gut tells me it really could add a little magic so to speak
According to this, I should be making some very big gains.... :ugh2:No pain no gain.
It was also very humid here for the end of Sept. I was like WTF when I was outside.Just an off night last night, it got really hot and humid and by the time I got to the gym I was a bit toasted. I went up to 265 on front squats and wrapped my knees too tight and only get 5 reps, I remedied that and got 9 out of 10 reps on the second set.
Front squats 265 X 5, 265 X 9 it just felt very heavy, and my focus was off.. will try this weight again on thursday.
Db incline press (30 degrees) 90 X 10, 90 X 7 damn shoulder
Lat pulldown 165 X 10 X 2 last couple reps on the second set were rough and could feel the pull in my shoulder..
Bent over rows supine grip 155 X 10 X 2 getting challenging
Push Press 140 X 9, 140 X 7 I was reeling by this time just plain dead.
Decline Tri Extension 110 X 10 X 2 was a bit surprised how well this went on the first set the second was a battle.
Obar curl 120X 10 X 2 Body English at the end of the second set.
Calf raise 135 X 10 X 2
Not Terrible but not the power I am used to having. I was a bit de-hydrated as I was sweating so much anything I drank went right through me, I needed electrolytes. Oh and I must have walked about 12 miles yesterday, it's definitely a factor but I am trimming down a bit because of it.
And here me thinking that my shoulder is fuggin me up and my numbers are low rivateeye: I do do much better with db's though. Bench is a fuggin disaster...man those are some strong numbers DW! love the 90's on the incline press!!!
Never seen anything like it this late ... I could have used a quart of gatorade...It was also very humid here for the end of Sept. I was like WTF when I was outside.
Same here today very muggy ARGGGGG.Never seen anything like it this late ... I could have used a quart of gatorade...
That is why I quit bench press four years ago just not good for my shoulder and I have long arms, I get just as good if not better chest development from other exercises. Dorian Yates talks a lot about why bench really is not the best exercise. if it works for you great, just does not work for myself, decline bench works my chest much better than bench. incline as wellAnd here me thinking that my shoulder is fuggin me up and my numbers are low rivateeye: I do do much better with db's though.

I do get some good development from bench press but also have long arms. I had to make some adjustments to isolate the chest as I was a major front delt presser.That is why I quit bench press four years ago just not good for my shoulder and I have long arms, I get just as good if not better chest development from other exercises.

(when shoulder is okay to do them)
94.7% humidity yesterday so you better believe I was prepared this time picked up some gatorade. On top of that it just rained and rained. On my way to the gym it was 50 minutes of hell...Same here today very muggy ARGGGGG.
Thanks... It's an increase of 35 lbs over the last time I did HST on Prime.holy PR!!!! that is a great lift there Doug!!!! well done mate!
I had to drive to NY yesterday and it was pouring rain. I hate driving on the highway when it is pouring as those huge trucks decide they are going to blow by you and throw huge amounts of water making it even harder to see well ARGGGG!!!!!94.7% humidity yesterday so you better believe I was prepared this time picked up some gatorade.

Front squats 265 X 10 PR, 265 X 9 Truth be told the reps on the second set were what I was most proud of, reps 2 through 8 were done very well, I was feeling good power.
Db incline press (30 degrees) 95 X 7, 95 X 5 damn shoulder again when I start to get heavy it just folds.
Lat pulldown 170 X 10 X 2 better than tuesday, all good reps
Bent over rows supine grip 165 X 10 X 2 surpising power.

Obar curl 125 X 9 X 125 X 7 .
Calf raise 140 X 10 X 2
I had some good power in the begining but I set a very hard pace and lost it near the end.. oh well on to 5's totally different dynamic.
The walk home was horrible as it was storm like conditions, think we must have set a record for rain.
Thanks down to 5's this week will post my workout early tomorrow, better day today.More nice work doug!!
Dodged a couple waves coming from those guys coming across the Wellington bridge... fuggers...I had to drive to NY yesterday and it was pouring rain.

Always taking Cycle support, HGHPro, Motivate, got low on glycobol so going to restock and save it for cutting. I was using stoked but that supply got low and I am using formestane now. Stoked and Glycobol are on my next order.Doug, what AI Sports Nutrition supplements are you using currently?
Looking good DW.Much better workout now that I am using 5's some exercises were more challenging that I am comfortable with at this point in time with 5 more increases.
Front squats 275 X 5 X 2 felt heavy but good power here.
Db incline press (30 degrees) 95 X 5 X 2 Might not see many increases from here shoulder is just not taking the weight the way I would like.
Lat pulldown 165 X 5 X 2 owned.
Bent over rows supine grip 175 X 5 X 2 good sets
Push Press 140 X 5 X 2 Had some problems with the first set and got mad and owned the second.
Decline Tri Extension 105 X 5 X 2 owned
Obar curl 130X 5 X 2 Completely crushed this, it felt very light
Calf raise 130 X 5 X 2
Like I said going to have to really drive to make some of these lifts go up, I have not been able to go above 100 on incline db press since the injury so I wouldn't expect to get to much higher. Not going to risk re-injury for ego.
I got some good rest this weekend, my legs were a bit stiff yesterday but when I got up this morning they were better than last monday. Just to give you an idea, I walked 80 kilometers last week (about 50 miles). I trimmed down just a bit because my eating has been off on the weekends. I have to get that under control. I am getting away with it so far but I could have been pretty lean by now.
I have issues with all chest exercises, it helps when the db's are closer together and it puts less stress on my shoulder.Ok just got caught up Doug and thanks for answering my earlier question above. You are moving some weight big guy, don't let the shoulder diminish the positive aspects of near constant PRs. I feel you on incline man, I have gone as high as 105 but my shoulders hate me after those days (it was actually on Pink Magic I did that too) so I can't do it anymore. I actually switched to decline/incline bench press now and I have less issues which is very surprising to me.
Yah it's pretty decent tasting, if you had tried the previous versions of chocolate then you'd know what a miracle that really is. Used to be the absolute worst. Well it tasted precisely like vomit...:eek5:man Doug those are STILL some serious numbers my friend. Oh and I am loving that orange flavored cycle support!!! In some vanilla protein it is MONEY
Pleasure lol that's funny. I think it's the red rice yeast that causes most of the problem but it's not the only unpleasant element. This orange they use seems to be ideal for hiding the taste, pretty remarkable. The stuff works well too, I noticed a big improvement in prostate health and my supps just seem to work a bit better, I think it might be my liver is cleaner or healthier.buahahahaha gratefully my friend I never had the pleasure!
agree. At first dose the smell REALLY threw me off. But when I tasted it I was VERY surprised! Don't know who made that, but I will continue to use for years to come!!Pleasure lol that's funny.
