Day 1-Chest/Light Tris
Incline DB Press: 80x9/80x8/80x7/85x5
Incline BB Press: 155x10/155x9/155x8/165x6
Low Setting Cable Flys: 120(I think, #6 on each side)x6/

Great workout today! I should note I've already been taking the diesel test at 2 pills per day for four days, today was first day at 3 pills. No real aggression, etc. I had good energy, and on a side note this was the BEST my left shoulder has felt in a while doing back to back incline movements (thanks osteosport?) I'm really excited for the next month.

Did you run the BB Incline press to failure each set?

Did you run the BB Incline press to failure each set?
Yeah pretty much except for my first set b/c I was being cautious, usually going till failure on two incline movements in a row bugs my shoulder, but that first set felt so smooth, I went to failure on all sets after this.

Day 2-Back/Light Bis
Deads: 235x6/235x6/235x6/235x6
Plated Loaded Bent Over Row(Ham.Strenght): 80x8/80x8/80x8/90x6
Pulldowns(Not sure if plates are 10 or 12lbs each. I went conservative w/ 10): 100x10/110x8/110x7/130x5
Underhand Row(HammerStrenght): 140x8/180x6
Reverse Preacher Curls: 40x10/40x9/40x9

Overall a pretty good workout. Had some good energy and a bit of aggression when this kid was resting on the underhand row machine for like 5 min, but nothing unusual. I talked to Chuck and will take his advice and start dosing my DTH 2 in the AM and 1 4-6 hrs later as opposed to the 2 before my workout. Shoulder felt good today :)

Day 3-OFF
I decided to take today off because neither my legs or shoulders were feeling fully recovered, I think the deads and my cardio yesterday took a bigger toll on my legs than I thought. I'll do legs and shoulders tomorrow. Still dosed the diesel today, Saturdays will be my day off from the DTH. Still not feeling much with it, but I've only been at 3 pills for four days now. Didn't take any RPM today. I'll post up my workout tom. Take care.

No worries DTH should kick in , in a few days at the latest. Judging by the fact you haven't mentioned any headaches it sounds like you're consuming enough water :thumbsup:

Yeah I'm sure it will kick in soon enough. I've had some mild ones but I drink more water and they're gone, so now I just chug like 3 glasses with em :) I'm thinkin about uppin the DTH to 4 caps next week. Think I should stick with 3 a little longer?

DAY 4-Shoulders
I really wanted to do legs today but they were STILL fatigued I guess I need to get used to doing cardio consintently again. I upped my RPM to 3 and I think it was a bit too much, I'm still pretty sensitive to caffeine I took ResetAD a little while back...I'll bump it back down to 2. I had a solid workout, pretty quick, little rest, felt great. No problems with my shoulder.
Military BB Press: 135x10/145x7/145x5/155x3
DB Front Raises: 22.5x9/22.5x8/22.5x8
DB Side Raises: 30x7/30x7/30x7
Rear Delt Fly Machine: 55x10/70x8/70x8/85x7
Felt good the whole workout and I was suprised at my last set of the rear delt machine.
I want to wish everyone a safe and happy new year! Take care and be safe!

DAY 6-ARMS
Pretty good workout today. I was a little out of it, either I'm getting sick or just still recooping from New Years, but I still had a solid workout. I was really pressed for time, but it definately proved that my ENDURANCE is up, my rest time was quite a bit shorter (like 1 min shorter) than usual and I got the same or more reps/weight than usual. Good stuff. I also has a random spout of aggression as all these d-bags with pinnacle wrestling (my old hs) were just standing in front of the dumbell rack talking. Like 6 of them. For a good 5 minutes. I had to steamroll right in the middle of them to put up my weights and they didn't move. I wonder what their training log would look like hahaha. Alright so I think I'm starting to feel the DTH, I'm going up to 4 pills starting on Sunday(Sat is my day off of dosing it). Here's the training for anyone who's interested
DB Incline Curl: 35x9/35x8/35x7/40x5
DB French Press: 80x12/85x10/85x10/90x8
Straight Bar Curl: 70x7/70x7/70x7
Reverse Grip Pushdowns: 57.7x10/57.5x10/62.5x8
Reverse Preacher Curls: 45x8/45x8/45x8
Close Grip Bench: 155x10/155x10/175x6
Didn't have time for forearms or any cardio today.

I don't want to go to work today. Have a good weekend everyone. I'll post up tomorrow, chest and light tris and I'm going to start 4 DTH per day. Also thinking about trying it with only one RPM because Friday had me shaking or something a little bit.

DAY 8-Chest/Light Tris
Today I upped the dose to 4 DTH's. It was definately a good decision. I had really good strength, some great pumps and good endurance. I can't wait for this next week to hit it hard. Again on doing two incline movements for chest where my shoulder usually sucks, it felt really good today (osteosport :) )
I forgot my workout log but here's what I remember:
DB Incline: 80x10/80x10/80x8/90x4 (Up significantly from last week)
BB Incline: 155x10/155x10/155x8/165x5
Reverse Tri Pushdown: 57.5x12/62.5x10/77.5x6
Cable Flys(On lowest setting): 120x6/100x8/60x10

I felt great the whole workout, dit 10 min of HIIT cardio after as well. I'm really likin the diesel test. I will post my before pictures in a few min!!

Oh well, just more motivation for next time. And tonight I will sleep great :) Last week of winter break :( I will continue the Diesel and RPM and this log till the end of Jan (or till they run out) then I am changing up my training (3x a week due to horrid school sched. next sem.) and going 'bare bones' for supps for a while (whey, multi & fish oil only)
Take care

DAY 17-Back
Today was a kick ass workout. I got plenty of sleep and took my RPM and DTH and was ready to go today. Strength increases all around, I'm finally starting to get my deadlift strength back. Great energy and focus, and I was pumped the whole time.

Bent Over HS Row:80x12/90x9/100x7/100x6

Shrugs:65x10/65x9/70x8
I didn't do Bis today because I noticed a sharp pain in my left bicep that sometimes bothers me a little bit. I'm going to take Fri off from Bis and just do tris and forearms.

DAY 19-Shoulders and Tris
Decided to throw Tris in with shoulders b/c I was taking it easy on my bis this week, I had weird pain in my left bi on back day, minor, but I'm playing it safe.
Military BB:145x9/145x7/145x6/135x6
Front DB Raise:30x7/30x7/30x7
Lateral DB Raise:35x6/35x6/35x7
Rear Delt Machine:90x9/100x7/100x7
I did something completely different for tris since this week was already different, I didn't bother recording anything b/c I'll go back to my usual tri exercises for the remainder of this run. Felt pretty good, happy w/ my first set of military, and my increases in front and side raises.

DAY 23-Chest & Light Tris
I felt really good today. I woke up with more energy than usual for some reason this morning. Took 3 RPM and my DTH, I had a really good energy in the gym today, and my strength increased on the first set of DB Incline, but my endurance must be crap b/c I dropped in reps more than usual. Oh well, my heavy set on incline BB was better than last week. I was itching to lift all weekend, all in all today was pretty great
Incline DB:80x11/80x8/80x8/90x3
BB Incline:155x10/155x9/165x7
Low Cable Fly:80x10/80x8/80x10(this last set was mid-level cable crossovers)
Reverse Tri Pushdown:72.5x10/77.5x8/82.5x4/82.5x4(Definite strenght increase here)
I was feeling really good today. It was my last day as a free man. School starts tom. and I have mostly night classes this semester. Definately different for me, I'll see how it goes. Once I finish the DTH and RPM I'll be cutting back to 3x a week full body due to my schedule.

Day 24-Back
I had to workout in the morning today because I have school later and I need to go buy all my books etc...For my first morning workout in a while, I felt good. I had to do deadlifts second which I was dreading because I like getting them done first and out of the way. I still went up a rep which is good. I didn't hit bis today as I mentioned before my bi was hurting last tues so I'm taking it easy on them, I'll hit them hard on fri.
Bent Over HS Rows:90x11/100x9/110x7/120x5
Deads:255x6/255x6/255x6/255x5
Lat Pulldown:110x11/110x10/130x7
Underhand Row:200x8/200x7/120-burnout with negatives down
Shrugs:70x9/70x8/75x6
Great workout. Off to school to get raped for books. fun.

Yea book prices are killer. I usually buy used, or just get it from the library. Glad you went with DTH and it's working out for you :thumbsup:
I got two from some friends so I didn't get raped too badly. Yeah, I'm liking the diesel a lot.

how well do you like the DTH?
I like it quite a bit. I haven't really felt much "aggression" or stuff like that that some people report, but I have been consistently gaining strength and it gives me a pretty good pump during my workouts. Some of my muscles seem harder too. For me this may have had a mainly recomp effect b/c I weighed myself and I'm still the same, but I look better. U thinking of trying it or have you tried it before?
