My Goals
For those that don't know, I plan on making my stage debut next fall. Therefore during this off season (from now until I think I need to start cutting/prepping) I will be trying to put on as much lean mass as possible while keeping the bf at a minimum. I know its inevitable to put on some bf while bulking, but with the hopes of clean bulking, I am looking at putting on some good quality weight. I am also wanting to bring up a lot of my weak points (back, arms, legs, insert others here). Doing so I will be training 5 days a week. However, on the 5th day I will be more than likely hitting one of my weak points that was hit on Monday up again with a different variety of lifts in hopes of bringing everything up. I will be performing ab work every other day and forearm work every other day that I don't do abs. Cardio will be kept at a minimum but I will still do some sparingly and light jogs here and there to keep everything in check.

Since I have so many of my workouts up in my journey and with the Iron Mulisha, I won't bother posting each workout, but rather just highlights and experiences from the workout and from the products. If you really want to know the nitty gritty about what I did throughout the whole workout, then please check out my other logs or journey or just PM me and I will let ya know. I am hoping to also increase my strength on this stack as well and look forward to seeing some great results.

My previous experiences with Animal Test/Stak lead me to recomp my body while putting on some lean mass and dropping inches off my waist. My strength also went through the roof as well and I literally felt like Venom off of Spider Man. I am hoping to double this effect by running it for 42 days nonstop.

I put this up in the sponsored supp section, because some of the products I won through various promos, i.e. the leg workout to get 2 cans of stak and the favorite animal/universal product for a can of test. All the others, I had to pinch pennies and purchase, but it will be well worth it.

Thanks for all your support.


Additional Information.
I have been running this log over at another forum and am going to transport as much of it as I can over here. I will be posting and updating as much as possible. Currently, I just finished my first can of test/stak and will be posting up measurements/progress pictures very soon. I am digging the supps.

Day One.
Workout Highlights: Today was Chest/ Triceps (One Exercise) / Abs.
-Set a PR on incline BB bench of 245x5
-Did some rest pauses on Incline BB to really finish my pecs off
-Did some negatives with DB flat bench
-Cable Crossovers felt great; Decline flys were a great contraction; Dips were decent.. a lil down I just did BW on these but hey I am coming back from a week long vacation.
-Triceps, just felt super huge during the rope pressdowns.. did 6 amazing sets here with an incredible arm pump.
-Abs, I originally aimed to do 1K reps on abs, 200 reps of 5 exercises, however after 20 minutes and barely able to move, I only completed 500 quality reps of the 5 exercises (100 each). I opted to just be done as oppose to sacrifice form/quality to get the other 500. Gonna havta work my way up to these

Impressions:
-Today I just had an insane mind/muscle connection... the pump was unbelievable.
-I flexed my chest inbetween sets and it was just full of blood. Felt amazing.
-I nearly choked to death trying to swallow both Nitro and Stak at the same time pre workout. Seriously its a lot of pills.
-Diet was pretty strong today... Real Gains (Strawberry) tastes amazing BTW... had a lil trouble mixing it up as it kept clumping up... argh.

Day Two & Three.
Workout Highlights: Legs (Day 2) / Back (Day 3)
-I felt like utter ass today after getting a tetanus shot and the Nurse telling me I was going to feel light headed, woozy, upset stomach... **** I paid that no mind I'm an Animal right? WRONG... on the 4th set of squats I about fell over. Was re-damn-diculous.... was so damn naucious feeling... I puked in my mouth during a superset of lunges and straight leg deads. I didn't wanna lose the supps, so I just swallowed it back down. Afterwards, I laid in the floor and just had to take a breather for about ten minutes. Stupid tetanus vaccine...
-Did some work on squats with my feet together to try and bring up my outer sweep and did a lot of ATG. Did one semi heavy set and then went right back to ATG and feet together.
-Quads, Hammies, and calves felt great at the end...
-Was drenched in sweat and could barely catch my breath...
-My arm is sore as **** now from where I got that shot...hoping to feel better for tomorrow.

Day 3
-Destroyed my back in a quick, easy straight to point workout. Felt good going simple and just focused on the contractions and pump. Didn't annihalate but did stimulate.
-Pull ups I felt stronger...
-BO BB Rows felt great alot of volume did a dropset...
-Did a good amount of volume on seated cable rows and a killer drop set...
-Moved up in the weight on the BB curls today and used the various grips.. I feel like my arms are def growing.
-Just did cable crunches from left, middle, right and felt good. I was super setting these with the bb curls.


Impressions:
-Today was just utter ass.. I grinded the workout just by my sheer testicular fortitude. Was hard as hell to finish, I scrapped leg presses and opted for lying leg curls and leg extensions. I was surprised I did as much as I did.
-I still say Nitro has a **** ton of pills LMAO...
-I argued with the Nurse about getting the shot because she kept telling me to stop flexing and tensing my arm... I really wasn't it was just lying there which is what I kept trying to tell her...argh.
-This should be the last hoop I have to jump through before I start school on the 25th.
-Torrent was soo damn good today....
-I mixed the banana and strawberry real gains and had a damn good treat. Added some PB and I was in heaven.
-So far so good with the bulk...people are telling me I look bigger.
-Will try and get some progress pics up either late this weekend or early next. Official weigh in and measurements will be Monday or Tuesday.
-Today was a lot better than yesterday tetanus fiasco. Felt good and focused in there.
-Despite the short quick and to the point workout I was drenched in sweat and pounding away at the weights. I just went from one set to the other...
-Good mind/muscle connection...
-Got the nitro down no problem...
-I am loving being able to mix the green apple torrent with the cherry... good stuff.
-Also love being able to mix banana and strawberry real gains..
-Today's diet was more shakes due to not having time to prepare food (the girls in town)... but I feel I am still getting my quality cals from 2 real gains shakes. No worries....
-I am gonna continue takin the supps on the weekends (off days) but with only one gallon of water as opposed to the 2 that I normally drink on training days. I'll do a weekend update this Sunday and let ya know how things have gone.
-Behave.

-My legs are still hurting... that feet together squats killed me.


Impressions:

-I am getting measurements/weight checked first thing in the AM tomorrow.
-Working on getting some starting point pics up as well
-These aren't the best lighting...pretty inexperienced camera man who didn't wait until I finished my pose before taking some.
-These are a start.. I am proud of my back progress for sure.
-I see my waist isn't as tight as I have had it in the past but I am bulking so I can deal with this.
-My arms I thought looked a little bigger...
-Thighs have improved... tough to really see 'em...
-I blacked out my face HG style just because I had goofy ass faces on each one of 'em.
-Gonna take some more in around 2 to 3 weeks...

Day 6.
Workout Highlights: Chest/ Tris/ Abs
-Destroyed Flat Bench for first time in a month and set a PR... 335 x 1
-Used 405 for negatives on flat bench as well
-Best pump ever from super setting incline DBs w/ incline flys and then Cable Crossovers w/ Pushups
-Tris felt great and abs are feeling tight.

Impressions:
-Took the test/stak/nitro easy this morning
-I am keeping track of all the calz I get in today so I will have a rough total of where I stand at the end of today as well.
-Had people staring at me during the workout.
-My training partner said I blasted 335 easily. He didn't think I was going to be able to get it due to how slow I brought it down but he said I just exploded up with it.

PRs -- Goals
-Bench: 320 / Got 335 today... (365 "hopefully by end of year"... 405 "long term")
-Squat: ~530/540 ... Wanna pop 'em lower by the end of the year and increase on 'em... long term 600.
-Deadlift: 455 / Wanna get 500 by end of year and very long term 600.

Weight
-Weighed twice this morning at : 216.

Measurements.
Before / After (Change)

Arms: 16.5 / 16.75 (+ 0.25) F*cks YEAH!

Chest: ~45.25 / 45.3 (A lil growth but nothing special)

Shoulders: ~54.5 / 54.6 (A lil growth but nothing special)

Thighs: ~24.5 / 25.25 (+ 0.75) Hells yeah.

Calves: 16.6 / ~16.6 (A lil growth but nothing special)

Neck: 16 1/16 / 16.1 (barely) (My neck was barely at 16.1, it has decreased some)

Forearms: 12.75 / ~13 (+ 0.25)

Waist: 34.25 / ~36 (+ 1.75) Had a lil gain here, but I wasn't quite at 36.. I just rounded it up as it was more like 35.8 or 35.9. Still feel this is in part due to the sloppy beach vacation. It's alright though no worries.

Day 7.
Workout Highlights: Back/Bis
-Pullups I felt a lot stronger today.. my partner commented on my V shape during these.
-Rack pulls.. got a PR for reps with 405... pulled 455 a lot better than the first time I did it... and attempted 495.. I moved it maybe an inch LOL... something to work towards.
-Did old school prison style v bar BB rows... Felt incredible.. haven't done these in like 4 or 5 months and they were just awesome.. got another comment on my back "said I looked wide and thick"
-Using the various diff grips on pull ups and lat pulldowns really hit my back from different angles.. loving it. In this same sense the straight bar bb curls at different grips really pumped my bis up.

Impressions:
-Supps all went down easy.. I have now gotten use to taking nitro.
-I counted out my cals and so forth yesterday... I now know I NEED more calories and I need MORE grams of protein. Today I am aiming for at least 3500 cals and 350+ grams of Protein with fewer carbs. Should be a looong day
-Was happy with my rack pulls today and my back is nice and tight as I sit here. Time to get huge.

Day 8.
Workout Highlights: Delts/Traps/Forearms/Abs
-I just went in there like a man possessed today and destroyed myself in 47 minutes. It was pure hell.
-Superset smith machine militarys with BTNs... utter delt pumpage
-Did a nonstop circuit of delts/traps to make anyone's upper body sore (bb shrugs; db shrugs; bb upright rows; seated side lats; seated bo db raises)
-Did another nonstop circuit of abs/forearms (leg raises; seated bb wrist curls; standing bb reverse wrist curls; ab machine)
-Needless to say, I was worn the hell out at the end of this. I was so pumped, when I went to get a drink from my gallon jug, I couldn't hold it upright and it fell outta my hands.
-Yesterdays diet was around ~4000 Cals; ~375.78 grams of Protein; ~225.38 grams of Carbs (I didn't do any of that subtracting for good carbs or fiber or anything like that just listed carbs as carbs); ~108.42 grams of fat. These are just estimates. Gonna try and aim for around 3500 cals and a lil less carbs today and moar protein! Just finished eating 2 big ass 7 oz chicken breasts.

Impressions:
-I was in the zone today... I just put in my headphones, kept my head down, and kept pounding away. I didn't end till I was done, dripping sweat, and could barely move my arms.
-I am just focused on progressing.
