Big for Birthday *SD Log*

[xigotmailx]

I'll more than likely hit it after lifting, with the SD kicking in now after a session is when my energy sky rockets and I just want to be on the move. I just need to work on getting to the gym earlier than 2am lol because sleeping until 4 isn't going to hold over well when I gotta start working again. Thankfully my boss will get back in a couple of days so I can have some money. I'll post later to update with my workout. Squats XD

EDIT:
First month not in the neg's with my bank!!!! WOOOOOT!!!!!!

[xigotmailx]

Stiff Leg DL - 235/185 +10 *serious grip failure here*
Leg Extensions - 165 +15
Seated Calf - 75 x20 +10

NS Situps - 17.5 +2.5 @ 3 second hold *-7 seconds hold time, stronger more full ab contractions during hold*
Hypers - 15 +5 3x10

I didn't really hit cardio today because I felt that tomorrow being my off day would be perfect for cardio. I honestly had forgotten what day it was. All i've been doing is sleeping, eating, lifting, but the sleeping is forever! I'm stoked for the off day, my lower back is taxed!!!! I'm just super excited thinking that I'm up 5 pounds, it has just now started to kick in, plus I'm upping to 30 for the next 3 weeks!!!!! It's going to be LEGEND...wait for it....DARY!!!!!!! Post workout meal was a huge ass turkey sandwich with the most badass swiss cheese ever.

[xigotmailx]

RAWR! I can't stay out of the gym. Today was an off day but hey UPDATE:

Upper B:
Incline Bench - 115 +20
Pullups - BW 10/9/5/6 *+6 total BW*
DB Shoulder Press - 35 +5
DB Shrug - 85 +10
Skull Crusher - 62.5 +5
Side Laterals - 17.5
DB Curl - 25 +Reps

Good workout, but my left shoulder is getting taxed hard. I NEED to take some days off and rest up, but I don't think it'll happen. I just want to be in the gym, all I want to do is lift. I wake up, I eat, I wanna lift!!!!!!!! FUARK BEAST MODE!!!!

[DangerDave]

Killing it! Nice work on the pullups bro. Make sure to stretch that shoulder with bands or something so you dont injure yourself. and keep focking sh*t up man.

[xigotmailx]

Thanks a lot for your support Dave, means a bunch to me, especially in this time where my support is lacking. Friends that I've been talking to just drop like flies out of my life lately, life is ****ty to be honest. Thankfully being on cycle has my mind set on one thing and one thing only. I don't have anything else going on in my life, at least until my boss gets back from vacation. I believe the shoulder could be acting up due to getting it in 4 days in a row, and even now, a few hours after leaving the gym I just want to be back in there. We'll just have to play it by ear as it goes

I think it's just bull**** though, when someone is in need of help I've always been there. Hell i've been there for people I barely even know, it just sucks knowing that you will do so much for others, but they don't do the same for you in return. You bro's are really all I have now, haha **** my roommate, he doesn't help for ****. It's gotten to the point where I leave him at home, no heads up that i'm leaving to the gym. Kid was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Meh, I shouldn't be talking **** anyways......so back on topic

Personal note;
Eggs 70 cal, 0 carb, 5g fat, 6g pro
^^^ Very useful for me XD

Yeah, man, I know. I'm going through this with my wife right now. She's the kind of person who goes wayyyyyyyy out of her way for everybody and she's constantly upset and disappointed that nobody gives a crap and returns any of her generosity. Trying to get her to do less for people has been difficult. Me, i wouldn't cross the street to piss on most folks if they were on fire. I do for me and mine first, then I'll consider others who are worth the trouble.

just keep killing it in the gym, dude, and don't worry about the flakes in your life. Just do for you and yours first, and the rest will fall into place.

Speaking of eggs, this is going to be my dinner tonight, feel free to give it a whirl:

2 raw eggs
12oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 1/2 scoops caseing protein (ON brand, 1/2 C&C, 1/2 milk choco)
1+ tsp cocoa powder
3-4 pkgs splenda

blend up with ice til it's thick and throw it in the freezer for a bit. Almost as good as icecream, but carb free and has some good fats and tons of protein. perfect before bed

[murk01]

Can help some one and expect them to help u when u need it. That's a recipe for disappointment.

Kill it G, I'm in!

[epstaneman]

So you've gained 5lbs on a week of 20mg sd? Didn't give the dosing you did/doing/will do.

Good luck on the cycle bro! BLOW THE FU*K UP!

[DangerDave]

Yeah man. Friends come and go but a true friend is there for it all. I call people acquaintences.... I just know them. I truely have only a few friends. Thats the group I would take a bullet for and I know they would do the same. Keep killing it in the gym and get focking HYYYUUUUUUGGGEEE!

[SuperPro]

Sorry to hear about your troubles man, good job still killin' it on the cycle though. Gotta give props to ya I think I would've definitely stopped.

I'm pretty interested in your upper/lower workout routine how many times do you repeat each week? and also how many sets do you usually do each exercise? I'm lookin to start a 2 or 3 day split soon and this looks interesting.

Dude that looks good as hell!!! I'd probably just switch out the almond milk for soy, just personal preference but i'm totally going to give that a try. And yeah, I'd consider that a cheat meal...something I haven't had one of this entire cycle. Maybe I should have a cheat day

Can help some one and expect them to help u when u need it. That's a recipe for disappointment.

Kill it G, I'm in!

Thanks my man, glad to have you aboard. The gains are just now going to start!

Up to 176 +6 lbs now, at day 19. Definitely not bad weight gain for a recomp

Yeah man. Friends come and go but a true friend is there for it all. I call people acquaintences.... I just know them. I truely have only a few friends. Thats the group I would take a bullet for and I know they would do the same. Keep killing it in the gym and get focking HYYYUUUUUUGGGEEE!

I'll take a ****ing bullet for you bro, no hesitation!

Thanks man, I think being on cycle is what has helped me more than anything. I can't really think about much else than wanting to lift.

As for the workout, it's part of a 3 phase periodation routine that I concocted a while back when I was studying for my PT Cert. It goes through Volume, Intensity, and Frequency. This time around I just chose to hit the Upper/Lower-Intensity phase for the cycle, because my body seems to respond well from it while on cycle. If I was running the program normally, I would run it for 3 weeks and switch into the next phase. This time around though, I'm combining volume and intensity by upping the sets and aiming for 6-10 reps. As the weeks have started to progress on the compound lifts or main lifts I've been lowering my aim for the rep range by 2. So, I started off at 10 reps on bench for 2 weeks, then upped the weight this week to where I could hit 8 reps. I'm still getting around 10 reps first set, then I fall off from there getting 10/8/6/6. Every week though I'm adding weight to the bar and still getting the 6-10 reps.

So for this cycle it would look like this
Week 1/2: 3x6-10
Week 3/4: 4x6-10
Week 5: 5x6-10
Week 6: 2x6-10 *Minor deload, maybe increased rep range*
Week 7/8/9: 3x6-10
Week 10: 1x12-15 *DEEEEEEEELOOOOOAAAAD*

[SuperPro]

Looks pretty solid man, def thinking about doing something like this in the near future

[xigotmailx]

Thanks SuperPro, I'll find the link to the entire 3 Phases, I wrote that up on here and got some really good critiques on how to my phase 3 better, which is frequency/full body workouts. Lot of good info from some hella smart people in there. .brbwhileigetlink First Created Program - Critique BOOM! Magic XD

Lower B:
Rack Deadlift - 315 10/10/6 *grip failure so 225x10*
Leg Press - 500 +50
Leg Curl - 60 +0 *I was hurting lol*
Standing Calf - 180 +15 3x20
Leg Raise - 5 +0 *2 sets, cut short, I was malnourished going into the gym*
Side Bend - Skipped

It kills me to leave out lifts and cut corners with myself like that, but I was feeling ****ty as all hell from not eating for so long. I went downtown with my roommate and didn't have a chance to eat while out. We did bring home 3 girls though, friends from high school that we hadn't seen in a while and just chilled. After I gave them all a ride home, it was gym time!!! Now that is out of the way, I can enjoy my 2 rest days, get back to work next week and continue to ball out of control.

[xigotmailx]

Lethargic, insomnia, loss of appetite, acne, can you say full on kicked in right now. Still running at 30mg, still forcing food down, still getting my 8 hours, still killing it in the gym, and hell still looking sexier every day. Come at me bro haha

[xigotmailx]

Pretty good workout today, felt really good. The bench press I could feel my shoulder being stretched a lot, but hey I don't think it's going to get any better. It constantly is popping in and out of place, can that be fixed easily? If not, it's no biggie, I don't think anything is going to happen to it.

Upper A:
Bench - 145
Bent Row - 155
Military Press - 75
BB Shrug - 245
Close Grip Bench - 115
BB Curl - 77.5

I did random stuff throughout this workout that I didn't feel like logging. Did some dips, I think I like them more than the close grip bench. I may switch it out entirely since I superset Skull Crushers with Close Grip Bench during Upper B. Dips are just too much fun. Side note, I'm completely broke again, but my boss is finally back and I'll be back to work tomorrow. I always got into a nice battle of wits with some kids from Finland. I must say, complete jackass'. I got the picture of the "troll" if you wanna see some lols. I think my words are just hilarious

[Axillist]

Be careful of that shoulder man! I can send you a pic of what happened to me when I tore my shoulder during bench pressing. It aint pretty! If you shoulder is giving out you need to be very careful. Make sure you are keeping your shoulders strong!

[xigotmailx]

I'm watching it for sure, I'm pretty sure it's just "loose" or something and just wiggles around in the socket. Every now and then I can pop it back in, and every time raising above parallel it will pop, at 90 degrees. It's been this way since I got hit with a baseball in my back maybe 10 years ago. Lol, I just woke up and i'll be heading to the gym here in a few hours. Sleep was crap, I felt more sore from sleeping than lifting

[Stroke UR Ego]

Are you waking up with DOMS ? Noticing I'm not getting it anymore fs
