Keeping your water intake high is the key. Try to at least get a gallon in on training days. Also whats your diet look like right now?Day 4

Today's workout felt pretty good. Tempo wasn't all that great and I wasn't feeling all that strong, but a few lifts actually went up a bit since last week. I ended up passing out for a bit after I got home from class and hit the gym after the nap. So, that's probably what set such a low tempo... I was kinda pissed about the deadlifts. I know I could have gotten another 2 reps easy on my 2nd set and another 1, maybe 2 on my last set, but i had to rack it a little early because the bar was slipping...
I noticed that I kept getting headaches shortly after dosing that would hang around for quite a while. So, I upped my water intake today and it made a huge difference. I was on the lower end of the spectrum, probably just under a gallon a day. I upped my intake to around 1.5 gallons and it did the trick. Feeling good other than that. Possible aggression increase, but it may be unrelated. Libido is still around normal, with slightly above average peaks here and there...
This is a PR for me with this set-up. I have lifted the 100lb DBs before, but not on a 4th set. Quite a while back, I used to do 3 sets of 10,8,6 and I pulled off the 100s a couple times for maybe 3 or 4 reps. So, I'm pretty stoked that I nailed them 5 times on the 4th set this week. Can't wait to see if I can up the first 3 sets and still manage the 100s next week....DB Bench:65/75/85/100 - 16/12/6/5
Love me some Peanut Butter... :food:Good job on your PB you'll have more to come by the end of this..lol
Diet, sure thing.... It varies from day to day because of different class times and when I can hit the gym. And i've never really been one to count calories and break everything down numerically. But I'd like to think I keep my macros pretty similar over the course of the week. But I'll post up tomorrow's food intake for you...Shifty any chance you can post a day of your diet. Just curious what it looks like. Solid workout btw. Have you read the entire Arnold encyclopedia book? Its huge.
You're too quick for me man... I wasn't finished yet. Posted up my night time snack...Breakfast looks solid (70g's carbs, 50g's protein by my estimate). Not sure about the rest of the day but it looks low in protein. I'm not really familiar with all your foods though either. Your also fasting for over 12 hours every 24 hour period.
Just throwing these out there as observations bro take them for what they are worth. You know yourself better then I do. I'm always interested in seeing different diets though.
Yeah, and I go to school in downtown Detroit. So, anything off campus is gangster as **** and far from the cleanest establishment you've ever seen. There are 2 Subways just off campus in opposite directions, but god damn are they disgusting. Used to go there occasionally but they never had any apples that were still good; usually a week or 2 past due. And the subs just didn't quite taste right....Oh yes I always forget how hard it is to eat right in school. I always practiced the see food eat food diet in those days.
Looks solid though and that kabob sounds pretty good.
Good numbers your putting up man! Hows your strength compared to start ?Day 11

I'd say up slightly from start. I mean, I did set that one PR. But we'll see how I do today. I'm off to the gym in a couple minutes to do chest and tris. I'd like to pull off maybe 6 or 7 reps on the 100lb DBs..... Stay tuned.Good numbers your putting up man! Hows your strength compared to start ?
Hell yeah bro..Congrats on the PR! The product is doing its job and its still early. I want to see the 120 DB'S for 3 by the end of log...lolDay 13

7 Reps on the 100lb DBs is a new PR for me... Pretty stoked about the improvement over last weeks 5 reps with the 100s. I got the first 6 nice and clean, while the 7th i got stuck about 1/2 way up and had to struggle for the last 1/2. If I had a spotter, I may have been able to pull off an 8th rep. I've never been one to waste a trip on the gym to "max." So, if I reach a PR, it's gonna be on a 3rd or 4th set.
So, to answer your question JJ20, strength is definitely up! Looking forward to a few more PRs in the 3 remaining weeks of this cycle...
Oh, and as a side note....I went light on Decline Press because my shoulders have been getting sore again on chest days. I don't wanna screw up either of my shoulders again. That's why I usually stay away from Barbell benching. Something with the fixed motion destroys my shoulders. I've tried to go back to it time and time again with very light weight and perfect form and it never fails to blow out one of my shoulders...
I would get out of the smith machine when squatting. Just lower the weight and stay in the rack.So, after checking out DJBombSquad's thread a bit (he's also doing the AMS Stack) I noticed how hardcore he was getting ripped on for his rather sh**ty, half-ass form. I don't wanna be that guy, and for the most part, I'm not that guy. I'd like to think I have pretty solid form on most of my lifts. But I know my squats could be a lot better. So, today I really focused on getting LOW. My hack squats were "Ass To Grass" and then I did some nice low-end partials. I was going to do them in the cage, but I kept losing my balance. So, I did them on the smith machine. I know, I know, I hate using that thing too. But I really wanna focus on the lower portion of my quads and increase their strength so I can move back over to the cage and keep the form strict.... Any other ideas as to how to go about this better are more than welcome!
Shin pump. Its common with runners and such and likely more noticeable for you just because your on cycle. Similar to back pump. Taurine could help if you have any.I was still pretty impressed by my Hack Squats today. Despite going all the way down past parallel, I increased my numbers pretty significantly over last weeks numbers. Calves felt great today, but I noticed a hard burn in my shins when I got into the 3rd and 4th sets of both calf lifts. Felt kind of like shin splints but lasted about 10-12 minutes. It's not just the normal burn from the lift. I mean, I've felt it up front before, but it never lasted this long.... Any ideas as to what would cause that?
I just found it weird that it lasted so long. I mean, my shins stayed pumped longer and harder than my calves did really.Shin pump. Its common with runners and such and likely more noticeable for you just because your on cycle. Similar to back pump. Taurine could help if you have any.
Well, with a squat of ~225 and leg press of 900+, I'm sure most anyone with intelligence could deduce that something wasn't quite right... Kind of like what happened before you even posted your video...If I had not posted video and just did stats like you did I am sure I won't be getting ripped on.
