I hope everybody thinks i'm crazy, because you cannot be a sane person and go through the type of pain i am willing to put myself through to be where i want to be, Once I completely win the war between my mind and body, my reign will begin. ~Me
Little update, My appetite is SHOOTING up right now seriously. I'm able to consume more food more frequently now. I will try and get 4300-4500 calories now, I am getting leaner as well which is making me even more happy. Weight today was 225.2Lbs morning weight, (+6.6Lbs) The initial 10lbs i gained was definitely water/glycogen but that is a good gain as well. Strength shot right up after that, water is not as bad as people make it out to be
My goal is to be over 230Lbs at the end of this run and noticeably leaner. (This goal may change too)

Leg Day!! 9/6/11
Duration: 2 ish hours?? Didn't really keep track haha
Mood: EXTREMELY focused
Energy: More than enough
Other notes: Had a sick session today, Started using my weight belt and it made a huge difference. Didn't effect my back pump at all, i like lower back pumps! Hamstrings are getting a lot looser to the point where my squat is starting to shoot up since my form is on my legs more now then my lower back like before.
Lifts:
Rack Pulls-
225 x 12
315 x 5
385 x 7 *PR* +20Lbs
405 x 2 *PR* +40Lbs, Set was done AFTER 385, Next workout gonna go for 405 x 8-10!
Notes: After these sets instead of being wipe out i was PUMPED UP, I was so happy it was like a high.
Barbell Back Squats- Squatting to parallel again but now i have my ham's loosened up so my form is WAY better. Literally felt it all in my legs, was really happy with it!
225 x 8 *PR*
245 x 5 *PR*
255 x 4 *PR*
265 x 5 *PR*
Notes: Honestly these sets were a walk in the park, I couldn't believe how much better i felt with these! There was a time i did half rep squats and was up to almost 400Lbs, i wonder if i'm "regaining" the leg strength from that. Even though my depth wasn't as low as now it feels just too easy.
Leg Press- Tried to emphasize my quads as much as possible on this exercise. Few sets i held the last rep short of lockout for about 10-15 seconds.
380 x 10
470 x 10 *PR*
560 x 10 + Negative *PR*
650 x 10 + Negative *PR*
Notes: Found out a flaw which made me 10x stronger on these. I was going down too low and putting the weight onto my lowerback pretty much. With the shortened ROM my butt never came off the seat like before and my quads burned 10x more.
45 Degree Seated Calve Raises/Standing Calf Raises- Did a circuit of 45 degree and standing calve raises today, supersets one right after the other then a 30 second rest then restart. Stretching them to death!
90/60/30 x 6 Circuits, For some reason i wanted to go lighter and do 20+ reps per set + drops. WOW this made a difference, calves on fire and HUGE pump. For a couple minutes i literally had freaky calves! They're without a doubt growing and i hope these higher reps + stretching are that perfect layout. We'll see!
Lying Leg Curls- Since high reps worked so well for my calves i decided to try it with my hamstrings, Worked like a charm.
75 x 10
75 x 12
75 x 18
75 x 26 *PR* +10 Reps
60 x 15
Immediately followed by stretching hams.
Leg Extensions-
300 x 5 *PR*
300 x 18 *PR*
325 x 15 *PR* Rest/Pause
Drop 4x (Forgot weight)
Notes: The drops had my quads on fire, literally had to limp around for a little bit.
Around 36 Sets Total
.: Day 10 TestoPro Notes :.
-Confidence is still rising, Especially in the gym.
-Strength is shooting the hell up right now.
-Getting leaner even though my body weight is increasing.
-Libido is starting to seriously get up there.
-Alpha-Male feeling is even higher especially after that workout LOL
-Recovery seems to be improving, still get sore but it's not as severe as week one.

Dude to be completely honest, you know how i was talking about controlling that "adrenaline rush" before a lift? I seriously think I've got it down, it all is based of your breathing. What i do is look into the mirror and start breathing slowly and pronounced while visualizing the lift already done. Then i think about just doing it and breathing faster and faster. My heart rate rises and i begin to get this feeling of power in my hands that i will DESTROY the bar. Then following that i make sure i'm set up right and hit that lift like my life depends on it, I'm not quiet either, I usually make some sort of noise but I've found it really helps me get past that rep. It's almost like i'm extremely angry but it's controlled and focused towards that 1 extra rep.
I'm really glad it makes you want to train harder man that's what it's all about, Pushing yourself to your limits but keeping in touch with your body!

If i ever have a home gym it'll be one of those power-racks with an adjustable bench. You can do pull-ups/squats/bench/deadlifts/SOOO much. It's my favorite thing in my gym. Literally you can have yourself secured without having to worry about X amount of weight falling on you and you can attempt that 1 rep that you were contemplating because you didn't want to get stuck. WANT ONE! haha

Damn man!! with the PR's!! you're killlling this shiiit!
i think i need to take some notes on your leg work outs..definitely an inspiration for me.
one question about the leg presses..what do you mean plus negative??? excuse my ignorance haha
dude im lovin the fact you're feeling this TestoPro the way you are..im thinkin i gotta run this again
Pretty much for legs i just always try to lift heavier, that goes pretty much for everything i train as well haha. The leg press "negative" means like say i do 10 reps but on the last rep instead of stopping the set, i slowly lower the weight into the middle part of the movement and just hold it there for 10-15 seconds while my quads burn into eternity. (best way i could describe it) No problem!
Me too man, this being my first test-booster i'm extremely satisfied so far. My next log will be DAA which will be amazing as well. I'm really starting to see this 600 x ? rack pull happening this year. Maybe even a 400+lb squat tooFood will be the only limiting factor on this, i'll probably need to be eating a lot more by the time i get to 240+.. Hopefully my appetite will be "full retard" xD

I'm thinking about increasing my strength a bit more. My long cut from may is kinda affecting my strength way more than I thought.Originally Posted by thetinyguy
Might be a recomp with more cals. Hehe.

Dude believe me once you increase the cal's it's like immediate glycogen and water replenishment. The first few days depending on how depleted you were dieting i would eat like 4k calories for 1-2 days. Then after that eat how much you need, it's kind of like a cheat day but i swear i felt so much better after 1-2 days of high calories.
I'll definitely sub to that man! Once strength goes up size comes too.
