I can see where you think the tat looks like that, but it's actually a barbell/cross with lettering that says Lord give me strength. I got it when I was 20. Designed it myself.

As for feeling unmotivated and tired, I would think about either lowering the epi or upping the derm. And up your carbs due to being hungry all the time and for energy.

What do others think???

Upping the Transaderm would definitely help a little more with lethargy issues. You might consider that if it becomes too much of a problem.

I would agree, this is one the main reasons for using Transaderm on cycle in the first place...

Thanks for the information and I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge! I am going to stick out this week and see if things get better. I am going from a super low carb diet to one with much more, due to bulking. I think this too may be playing a role somehow. If nothing changes, I'll order another bottle of TRANS and start doubling up on the dose.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Bravoboy again.

Whats this your not motivated. Oh come on. You playing with the big boys now how much more motivation do you need. Lol. Seriously though like the others have said up your dose of transaderm a little. Are you doing 5 pumps? I was doing 6 and towards the end I was doing 8. Just an fyi.

I have not done legs since I was a senior in highschool, but I remember back then having what I thought were awesome legs.

I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually laughed out loud. I am currently doing 6 pumps, but if things don't improve my the end of week 2 I'll start double dosing and order another bottle of TRANS!

Always great to here from you!

Breakfast:

2 pieces of wheat bread
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 banana
1/4 cup steel cut oats
2 scoops of whey protein

[thundergod]

Today is legs (ARG). I have honestly not worked legs since highschool about 16 years ago. Not expecting a lot,

Dead Lifts w/DB's: (First time I've ever done Deads and boy do they suck something good)

60's/10
70's/10

You've never done deads before and you haven't worked legs in 16 years???!!
Time to get serious, bro!!!

[mattrag]

seriously man for not working legs in 16 years those are some strong squats...

Good job man can only go up from here!

205 for 15 is very good for that situation...

X2...I wouldn't be ashamed of those squats for not doing legs for a decade and a half

[Onlychevy6]

Yeah I couldnt begin to tell you the last time I used a barbell for squats. So that weight is impressive. Now on the machine I use that is a different story. Lol... Nice freaking job sir.

[cardiobro]

X2...I wouldn't be ashamed of those squats for not doing legs for a decade and a half

x3 Thats a tiny bit under where my twigstick legs are at and i do train them hahahaha

[Bravoboy]

Split squats and DB step ups are a good change up. I can't squat anymore cause my back but I use to spend all day on legs. Way to get back to them. You will notice strength and weight gain just from that.

I've done DB Step-Ups many times. Great variation movement.
But, are you calling split-squats something like Barbell Lunges only you're doing one leg at a time? Like do the right leg first for 10 reps or whatever the target is, then doing the other leg afterwards?
I've got a leg session scheduled this morning. I'm gonna give those Split-Squats a go!!

[Bravoboy]

Yep, that's it. I do them on smith machine. But would've a lot harder on regular barbell. They will exhaust u. 185 is the most I will go. Go get you some thunder!

Tell me about it. I thought I was serious until now. Now I know that there was a next level. Now I have changed my evil ways and won't look back!!!

Thanks guys!!! In all honesty, my legs are still a little sore. I'm hoping to go up a little next time, but we'll see. I use to kill legs in highschool...no problem. I'll get back there again.

I attempted to Rep, but: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DreamWeaver/RickRock13/mattrag again.

I guess I don't rep enough

I ran out of time and could not do my last set of Deads and did not get to Reverse Grip Pulldowns or Cable Crunches.

I have been skimping on abs and definitely need to correct this. I'm going to put extra emphasis on getting them done this week. Even if it means staying at work a little long in order to do it. FUG IT!!! I'm going to stay at work a little longer and get every routine and every rep done from here on out. I can't just miss this and that and expect to get where I want. I need to step up to the fugging plate and do my job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONE!
