Look what hit the mailbox today:

Yeah buddy! Time to get pumped!

Starting weight: 200.5lbs dry after bathroom use in morning, as of today.

Goals: Increasing strength/power (primarily) while either only adding lean mass or decreasing bodyfat. Diet is currently geared with an emphasis on recomp. Got a new girlfriend & have had cheat meals on cheat meals lately (altho managed to still maintain or lower bf last wk or two), so I really don't expect to lose fat. But with some good dietary manipulation/supplementation & Mass FX hoping to mitigate any fat gain if I go over maintenance.

Squatting every single day I lift right now, 5x/week. High frequency power program with LOW volume; no ab work or lower body work is done right now besides both a max effort & speed deadlift day each week after squatting to allow recovery to squat the next day. Upper body is all powerbuilding or pure hypertrophy work right now, besides a speed bench thrown in once/wk.

Starting nudes:

Sorry for undies in pic; was too lazy to retake them when I realized I was sans shorts. Caz is on a lot of Stano right now, so he'll probably love this anyway ;)

I wouldn't last a week doing that. We will definitely see how MassFX handles the recovery.

The face may look serious, but I'm actually just squinting cuz it was so late & was trying to focus on my lil screen on my very not-smart phone :lol:

And as for older fellas, I'll be glad to surround myself with as much experience as I can get! The more opinions & ideas I can get to improve, the better I say.

Really glad to see everybody here - I need people to be accountable to if I'm gonna tough this out! Very curious to see if I feel any effects on libido, aggression, strength/endurance, sleep, etc on the new Mass FX.

are u dosing 3 or 4 caps?
4 caps e/d, 2 in morning with first meal & 2 around 8-10hrs later with meal pre-workout, often just a shake with at least 30g of carbs total, or more. Just something get it into my system.

Day 3 (199.5 lbs)

Been crazy busy lately! Spending lots of time with the new gf lately, & libido has been getting stronger (had some gyno come up a while back, and still recovering from an unsuccesful letro/nolva cycle I just wrapped up - did NOT remove my new gyno lumps AND my erectile function has been lackluster....it's up, it's down, up, down. Got the worst side from letro with none of the intended results :lol:). This new gal knows about the ph/ds & everything, and has been awesome - think she digs the muscles pretty hard. Gotta get the thick back to get the ladies in the sack, amirite?

Last few days since starting Mass FX seems like libido has been going up a lot, & feeling/enjoyment down there is a bit better. Going like rabbits & just working around the on/off issue - the mental drive has been STRONG. Like, we had to dash off from some friends at the bar last night (obv I wasn't drinking) to find some privacy fast... :naughty:

Nothing else to note, certainly no noted downsides or ill side-effects. Not any weaker in the gym, that's for sure.

Here's the routine for the high frequency squatting I've been following, for anyone interested:
http://anabolicminds.com/forum/content/squatting-5-times-3884/

Also have max effort deadlift on 2nd day of squat routine & speed deadlift on day 4. Bench is heavy pyramid day 1 & speed bench day 4 or 5 usually. Hypertrophy work is back once or twice /wk, same for arms, and chest is once/wk, same for shoulders. Trying to get a bit more attention on bis & tris, & need 2 days of rowing/pulling to help balance the pressing days. No direct ab or leg work during this program since I need to be fresh to squat every workout, no cardio.

Day 5 (198.2lbs)

Haven't been this light in over half a year, and certainly not at this bodyfat/lean mass ratio. Lady was over last night til late in the morning, and noticed in the bathroom before catching a few hrs shuteye how cut/full I was looking. Figured it was a fluke, hadn't had the usual pre-bed meal & had been some time since I'd had water with all the distraction.

Wrong. The dry look has continued thru the morning & the entire day - I am most definitely drier than normal. And been drinking like a fish as hot as it's been at work, so it's certainly not for lack of hydration. Carbs have been higher than usual too yesterday & today for tonight's max effort deadlifts, so it's not glycogen depletion.

Mass FX is drying me out, & looking full to boot! There does seem to be the mildest of stim effects after taking a dose, like R1 & Big T seem to be experiencing. I had to run on 3 hrs of sleep today & was dragging very hard on the way home from work. Had my dose with pwo meal & noticed how alert I was before ever even hitting the preworkout supp (Juggernaut right now; don't waste your time).

Strength was up in max effort deadlift today (3RM deficit deads, specifically), despite being lighter bodyweight actually than last wk - go baby go!

Got my Titan Support Systems knee sleeves in yesterday since I'm squatting 5x/wk - they are incredible, zero aggravation in my knees now & I feel so much more sure-footed under the bar. Any lifter with bad knees, old injuries, or lifting very heavy owes it to themselves to get a pair - $60 is a drop in a bucket compared to surgery, nevermind all the pain & off-time & inconveniences injuries bring. Not if I can help it!

Yesterday's Workout:

Bb Backsquat 135x5, 185x3, 225x1, 275x1, 315x1, 340x3

Bb Flat Bench 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 235x5, 245x5, 255x2, 225x5
Db Incline Press 65sx15, 75sx11, 80sx7, 60sx13
Db Incline Hexpress 45sx16, 55sx12, 60x11
Cable Flyes from Low Pin 40x18, 50x15, 60x13, x12

Today's Workout:

Bb Backsquat 135x5, 185x3, 225x1, 275x1, 315x1, 345x1, 385x1

Deficit Deadlift (done standing on 45lb plates) 135x6, 225x3, 315x3, 365x3, 405x3, 475x3 (PR)

DMAA was my friend this morning. But I'm in the whole honeymoon stage with this gal - you know where you can fly on like no food or sleep if you have to and your mood is phenomenal? That thing going on. Been getting more ass than a toilet seat, FINALLY! No complaints here man :banana:
