I have some RXT if I need it.

I going to run the HCG at 250iu 2x a week with the test. Haven't started it yet though. Thought I would lay off the first several weeks.

Thanks bro. I gained alot of things from that SD cycle but not much mass. I was nursing a nagging shoulder and the SD actually helped that alot. I never could really lift for mass at that time.

Things have changed now and I'm definitely looking to add some prime sirloin.

Sunday 05/29

Weight: 176

No workout today. Didn't get much sleep last night. Had a guest over last night .

Meal schedule started very late. But today, for the first time, I feel a very noticable pump especially in biceps. Stays with me all day.

------------------------------

Monday 05/30 - Memorial Day

Weight: 177

Chest/Abs Workout -

Incline BB Press
Incline DB Press
Flat DB Flyes
Decline DB Flyes
Machine Presses
Rep out w Light Flat DB Presses
Decline Crunches
Machine Crunches

Great chest workout. Great intensity. Better than normal chest pumps starting very early on in the workout.

Hit personal best incline DB press and it was my 2nd exercise. Seems my endurance is getting better.

------------------------------

Tuesday 05/31

Weight: 178

Quads workout -

Leg Extensions (warmup)
Hack Squats
Leg Press
Front Squats
DB Lunges
Rep out w One-legged extensions

Not bad. See a little strength increase in first exercise with much better strength in the second.

Biceps workout -

EZ-Bar Curls (wide)
Seated DB Curls
One-arm machine preacher curls
Cable Hammers (rope)
Reverse Plate Curls

Very good workout. Pump was much better than normal. Felt like I could have gone forever. The recovery between sets is really improving. My rest periods between sets are steadily decreasing.

The pump I started feeling on Sunday is still there and increasing.

------------------------------

Wednesday 06/01

Weight: 179.5

No workout today. Starting to feel the added weight. Feel a little bulky and very pumped. Had some difficulty washing the back of my neck in the shower due to the pump.

May bump Anadrol dose to 75mg starting tomorrow.

------------------------------

Summary so far:

Weight is obviously increasing rapidly. Added size is visible. Had several nice comments already from people who have no idea what I'm doing.

The scale is surprising me. When I look in the mirror before weighing I'm thinking, "I may have even lost a couple".

Other than weight gain, the most noticable effects are in "between set" recovery. I seem to be able to do more in less time.

Side Effects:

Only thing I can see so far is my body temperature seems to have gone up. I feel warm in many situations where others around me do not. I have a blood test planned for next week (liver and lipids)

Ok. All caught up.

as for your diet, I would take the advice everyone gave me....your drinking toomany shakes. Wasnt it you that said that lean mass matrix would go right through you? I was also wondering....I took a look at the instant grits you suggested to me and it looks like it a processed high GI carb. Is this right? Are white grits hi gi? Keep us posted man, looks like a good cycle. Looks like you did your research.

[ryanbodybuilder]

5 shakes a day is ALOT! I would limit that to 3 on non-workout days, and 4 on workout days..replace those with another meal...

Grits are (so-called) high GI. But they are lower than baked potatos and white rice and many other carbs that bodybuilders gladly gulp down at much later times in the day. This is breakfast and is my last whole meal before my morning workout.

Grits are an excellent source of complex carbs and have a decent amount of fiber. I often eat oatmeal at breakfast but I also eat oatmeal alot during the day and even before bed so I like to give myself a break from oatmeal.

If high GI was a problem than you would have to remove about half of Jay Cutler's and Ronnie Coleman's off season diets.

And it actually wasn't the Lean Mass shake per say. It was the lack of food for breakfast. I felt that by the time you drank that shake you would be ravenous. Lean Mass shakes are great!

[oldfart]

5 shakes a day is ALOT! I would limit that to 3 on non-workout days, and 4 on workout days..replace those with another meal...

It is 5 only on double workout days and 4 of those wrap my workouts. Pre and post workout shakes can be a good thing.
This is only 3 days a week.

It is only 3 on single workout days and 2 or less on off days.

[UNDERTAKER]

the pros eat that many Hi Gi's off season? Good...I am gonna add some too. I bought this hot cereal made with oats and wheat instead of the grits. Today about an hour after eating it I puked it up at the gym. Its sooooo gross. I am definitely getting the grits!!

[UNDERTAKER]

looking through your supps, just so you know oral glutamine has been found to be VERY ineffective.

I ain't EVEN going there. This horse has been beaten bloody on this board.

I'll just say this: It's cheap, easy to use and "I FEEL" it makes me recover faster. Every dude on this board can flame me for thinking so but it won't change my mind.

But I definitely do appreciate your concern man.

[Grassroots082]

I thought that breakfast looked familiar in COR. 3 packs of Instant Grits and I believe Big RC used 2 cups of eggology right? Either way, pulling for you Oldman and good luck on this cycle. Keep us updated!

Weight: 179.5

Triceps Workout -

Roll Pulldowns (warmup)
Close Grip BP
Dip Machine
DB Extension
Rope Cable Extensions
One arm reverse cable extensions

Fun workout. Pump was enormous and maybe the most intense I've ever had. I looked friggin huge. Personal best in close grip BP (245/6). Quit snickering. Didn't want to leave the gym.

Back Workout -
Machine Pullovers
Wide Grip Pulldowns to front
BB Bent Rows
Seated Cable Rows
DB Bent Rows
forgot to ****ing do deadlifts

Unbelievable workout. Hit personal bests in the last 3 exercises. The last 3. Not the first 3. Explain that ****. BB Bent Rows was 225 for 10. That's good for me. Yea I'm a wuss. I'm an oldfart dammit.

No real weight gain today. Starting to see some puffiness in upper body.

Bumped Anadrol to 75mg.

[UNDERTAKER]

any sides from the anadrol yet?

[oldfart]

Friday 06/03

Weight: 180

Hams/Calves Workout -

3 diff calf exercises
SLDL
Seated Leg Curls

Fairly uneventful workout except an overwhelming personal best in SLDL. 50lbs over my previous best. Probably had to do with my placement of the exercise in previous workout regimens. This one is somewhat different than before. Hams are sore.

Overall body pump continues to intensify. First time I have ever felt a perpetual all-day pump in my quads.

Shoulder Workout -

Seated Lateral Raises
DB Overhead Press
Seated Bent Lateral Raises
Cable Side Laterals (from behind the back)
DB Shrugs
Behind the back BB Shrugs

Totally juiced (literally) workout. Personal best in DB Press after pre-exhausting.

Pump. Libido. No sides except perceived raise in body temperature. Nothing too annoying. I sweat a bid harder during workouts. Workouts are getting to be really, really intense. I am able to push myself much further.

[oldfart]

Saturday 06/04

Weight: 181

Off Day

Libido is thru the roof. Unreal. Pump is 24/7. Getting even more intense. A little puffy around the edges. Definitely losing some hardness. Total sacrifice here.

Been eating 98% clean. A little extra fat is all. It's probably helping the strength. Definitely thinking about a cheat meal today.

[ryanbodybuilder]

care to share some pics OF? damn I want to try anadrol next time now! haha

I will. From what I've been told this is nothing. I should see another 20 pounds before this thing is over.

Maybe towards the end would be better.
