NOTES
* Ridiculous pump today like completely unnecessary LOL quads were so pumped after even just frst 2 sets felt like they were going to tear through the skin
* Strength was definitely up but couldn't capitalize on it due to MEGAPUMP
* 40 minutes total today I usually do more but there was no need today

 

[bcazo]

Not so easy to walk to the car after that session .. LOL

 

[mattys4]

Not so easy to walk to the car after that session .. LOL

No it really wasn't nor was it much fun walking up the stairs at the gym to go to the bathroom. Legs could barely support me on stairs

 

[mattys4]

Notes
*Again pump was insane today. Had to wait like 20 minutes after shoulders before starting arms it was so bad.. by bad i mean awesome
*strength definitly going up no prs yet i just took a month off but strength is back to normal just about.
* NO SIDES (not that i would expect any from this)

[abformulations]

What thread?

Lol ohhhh damn. I think they deleted it. It was the anabolic round table thread.

Haha well this board in becoming polarized big time. Case in point:

Bodybuilding vs. Powerlifting
Natty vs. Anabolics
Anecdotal vs. Text book science

I think it should be a requirement that everyone has lived at least 3 months in each of these perspectives before joining the forum..

You could have a moderately difficult quiz at the registration to filter folks.

DO people want to see detailed workouts????

DOes anyone want to see daily food intake???

Id be more then happy to talk about this stuff if anyone is interested.

HOw bout questions related to anything fitness related, for you guys that don't know Im a national level competitor, fitness model and own a contest prep company Id be more then happy to get some discussion about anything fitness related or even PH/AAS/HGH/INSULIN use not uch action in here LOL

 

[tyga tyga]

I want to see the workouts, sets , reps all the good stuff. But, I love detail...

On a side note, insulin.. I want to use it post show, two months after- to help grow in off season. It's going to be novolin r (since you don't need a script).. This is what I was thinking..

2-3iu pre workout (I workout at 630pm and am in bed by 1030- novolin is still peaking around 6hrs I believe, so post workout isn't an option)

50g dextrose, bcaas intra

Post workout
50g dextrose
2c cereal (fruity pebbles, cap'n crunch, cookie crisp.. Whatever)

Hour later
1c brown rice
5-6oz meat

Whatcha think?
