That's crazy, I wonder what the reason is that you can't pick it up off the ground. Because 8-12 reps at 315-365 is not light weight nor low volume! And thanks, bro! I think with a stack this strong, 500lbs will definitely happen!
It is weird how that works, haha. Then again, if you used chalk and belt and tried your 1RM on Deadlift more frequently, I'd say you could do more than 405lbs, bro. As for the rush, it was work related, lol.
Thanks, guys! If I can keep adding 10lbs a week, I'll get that magical 505lbs just 3 weeks from now!
Thanks, Dma! I figured you were tossing 500lbs around. That sucks you got injured, bro. Still, volume work in the 300's is legit.
I think a lot of it is mental, but also by the time I ever try anything that heavy, I'm already several sets in and probably getting fatigued.That's crazy, I wonder what the reason is that you can't pick it up off the ground.

I am a firm believer that the mental aspect of weight lifting is underrated. I can bench significantly more weight if a spotter rides with me, even if they never touch the bar. I'll ask how much they helped, they tell me they didn't. Considering your size by your avatar, you look way bigger than myself, I don't doubt that if you made Deadlifts your first exercise of a workout, did minimal sets and reps besides the bare minimum for warm up, you'd hit 500lbs or very close.
Welcome, brother!
Is it? I had no idea! That's neat to hear though! I was Squatting 405lbs for reps prior to the flu, but man, 2 weeks out of the gym, lying in bed, unable to eat, dropping more than 1lbs a day... It wrecked me! I really appreciate the support, brother! I agree, the hard work has definitely paid off, and I hope others can see that no matter where you're starting point is you can make great strides! If someone had told me at 15 years old when I was 315lbs that I'd lift close to 500lbs, I'd have never believed it. And with this stack, my waist is starting to REALLY disappear. I went from notch 2 on my lifting belt to notch 3 in one week!
Everyone was impressed with wolverine deadlifting something like 405or 435. That makes you a super hero.
That's awesome! Maybe one day I can be as shredded as Hugh Jackman, haha. It's funny when you look at his physique from the first film up to present day, he just gets bigger and more vascular with every film, despite his age.
Is it bad I hope to achieve that level of detail one day? Haha. I try to keep my rest between sets relatively short, but I know a lot of people at my local gym and people come up and talk to me, which throws off my ability to be precise about rest periods! And I have a hard time telling people to go away, or giving someone the cold shoulder. So I'm patient and listen attentively.
Haha, it's so weird! I have very large visible veins all over my body even at high body fat percentages. I can have a large amount of stomach fat, but visible chest veins.
That is a blessing, sir.

ohhhhhh ... sorry I strictly listen to Boy Bands :wtf:
I cannot describe to you how jealous I am. They are one of my favorite bands, their melodic death metal style was catchy enough to help ease me into the more obscure underground stuff over time. They haven't released a single album I didn't like! And yet, I've not seen them live! Mannn, I bet it was awesome.
Didn't get a shot while they were on because it became so tight I might not have been able to get my phone. Besides I was drenched and the touch screen probably wouldn't have worked. But here's a pic from where I stood during Disentomb's set (and by "stood", I mean came to a stop). When BDM came on my foot was resting on the stage basically holding the freaking crowd up.
That is awesome, bro! Sounds like it was a blast! :evil: I'll check 'em out tonight before work! \m/PS, check out Disentomb
So freaking sick
Prami sends my libido into outer space. It's insane.
I think my libido would be higher, or at least normal, if not for low estrogen. I've seen a lot of guys crash their estrogen and get low libido. And Caber does nothing to it either. (I wouldn't touch Prami personally)
I've seen a lot of people say they wouldn't touch Caber and others say they wouldn't touch Prami. My first experience with Prami I thought I was dying but now it's no biggie
So you were death and kept using? Hard core!:buttkick:
How is appetite?
I suppose it comes down to personal preference then, though I've seen far more people suffer side effects from Prami than from Caber. I take 0.25mg Caber 2x per week, and I don't feel a thing. But as long as my nipples aren't leaking I'm satisfied.
Good question! So far I haven't had the ravenous appetite others profess to on Trest, but perhaps there are other compounds in this stack modulating that particular effect. (I am unsure, but it's plausible) Self control is on point, I'm not eating everything in sight like when I was on MK-677/GHar1ne. Though last night I met up with an old friend of mine at his families house, and they insisted on feeding me, so I broke my diet slightly while there socializing. It had been almost a year since I'd seen him and his family, and we spent so long catching up that if I HADN'T eaten their food, I'd have come in too low on calories yesterday. So my arm was twisted into eating several bowls of a Filipino soup, tortilla chips, salsa, hummus, buckeyes (chocolate and peanut butter), ice cream cake, caramel popcorn, BBQ potato chips... Needless to say, I expect to be up a pound or two in water weight from the 'carb-up' last evening. We'll see when I weigh in, haha.
Buckeyes FTW!
Welcome, brother! And thanks! I've been a vegetarian for 2 year now, which is actually when I started seeing the most progress. I find it easier to eat a lot more whey, cottage cheese and eggs than meat. I honestly thinking filling up on meat as my main protein source in the past was limiting me because I'd get full much quicker on chicken, but get less protein from it. Pretty easy to get 280g Protein from Whey/Cottage Cheese/Eggs.
Ever try Graeters Buckeye ice cream? Great if you have 1400 calories to spareHaha, perhaps the best thing about living in Ohio. Our state confectionery treat.
Exactly, bro! I've known him and his family for 18-19 years now, and they've always treated me like family and gone out of their way to make food. They really love celebrations and getting together, it's always an event! Tons of food, socializing, etc. Filipino food is fantastic, by the way, hard to resist!
Time to really lower the sodium, lower the stimulants, lower the carbs, increase the water, increase the potassium, increase the nitrates.
Nice job man. That BP is pretty high. When I was 290, my BP was about 145/90 - 150/90. I'm the same way too - I can literally take a gram of Caffeine and it has no effect on me. I'm going to have to monitor my BP in the morning now.
Welcome, brother!
My pulse is always higher when my BP is higher, which makes sense physiologically. They typically go hand-in-hand. I was actually at rest, sitting for a prolonged time, so definitely not exercise induced.
I wondered that, I am up 9lbs from starting weight, but it fluctuates a lot. I looked into it more, and the way anabolics can increase BP is very interesting. I assume from what I've read it's an increased retention of sodium and decrease of potassium, causing non-subcutaneous water retention and blood pressure issues. So I'm hoping this can be managed with a stricter diet. I picked up 2lbs of spinach after researching and reading:
Wow. Hell of a pump!
loll
