CellWarriors ComeBack Log

[CellWarrior]

Well I'm pretty new to this site. So far I'm digging it. I'm a Member on Musclemayhem, but haven't posted for a long time over there.

Old Log...
Is over on Musclemayhem under screen name S.W.A.T...The Pic on my avatar is me. Back when I hitting the Gym, Before I was married and before I had a Kid.
It's bee a rough year. Had surgery, job hours have been changing weekly. Been going from Days to nights to evenings.

But everything is falling together and looking good for the new Year. I've lost a good 20lbs of solid muscle in the last few months. So I'm really waiting to get back to the iron again.

First night back will be here in a Couple of Hours before work.

My main goal for the first 3 months is to gain as much muscle as possible with out getting to fat. I'm not really going to watch Carbs or Calories. Just Protein intake. Looking to get 300g or more a Day.

I have two different gyms to work out at. Ones at work and kind of old. Just has your Basic stuff. Nice thing is, No one is every there. The other is my local gym and t has some nice equipment, but seems to be packed at all hours.

I'm guessing I will gain the first 10lbs back with in a few weeks. I was up to 190lbs. I'll get my weight at the gym tonight to see where I stand. I'm guessing 165.

Other Stats: Age 28
I hate to post this. Kind of sad.
Biceps: 15.25in
Chest: 41.5in
Thighs: 23in
Calves: 15.5in
Waist: 31in
Height 5'9

There isn't going to be a lot with diet in this log. As I won't be following a tight diet plan. In the past I have always gained pretty easy and been able to lift hard and recover faster then normal. DC Training worked very well for me. So hitting each body part twice a week is fine for me.

Plan is to hit each body part heavy and hard once a week. But I will also hit that same body part later at lighter weight, but higher Volume.

Here is a Pic of my starting point.

[CellWarrior]

Supplements I'll be taking. I tend to take a few supplements when starting back up. Helps me stay in the Gym so I don't waste my Money. Gives me those quick gains. To keep me motivated.

I've done about every Supplement known to man kind. Best to date was M1T.. best OTC every produced. My staples are Creatine, Potassuim, Zinc, Magnesuim, DIM, Milk thistle, Saw Palmetto and Heavy Weight Gainer 900...

I've decided to step it up and go with a nice Potent Pro-H Stack.

P-Plex/D-Drol stack.

First 3 weeks. Just P-Plex
4th Week. Finsh up the P-Plex and Start the D-Drol
last 3 weeks. Finsh up the D-Drol.

Taking Cycle Support through the entire cycle. Finishing it off with some Formadrol and Androstenetrione. Along with Tribulus. (Which I think is a Waste. But I have some here) I think all this with my Staple Supplements. I should be ok. I tend to have less sides from these things. Or the ones I've tried in the past. Well see. I'll try and keep a nice log as I go along for the next 3 months. Plan is to get up to 195lbs.

[CellWarrior]

Weighed last night at 173lbs.

Worked out Chest, Back and Calves.
I left my note book at the GYM...

Anyway. Last night was a Heavy Chest, High Volume Back and Heavy Calves.

Chest (Heavy)
3x DB Incline Bench
3x Machine Incline Bench R/P with a Static Hold and Extreme stretch

Back (Volume)
T-Bar 4x15
V-Handle Cable Pulls 4x12
Reverse Grip Pulldowns 4x10-12

Calves (Volume)
Calf Press 4x 25

I didn't get chest heavy enough. I under estimated how much I lost. I warmed up with 65lbs and jumped to the 80's for my 3 sets. Banged out 14 the first set. To high.. I'll jump to the 90's next week and see. On Machine Bench I did a Rest Pause. This way I know I took the muscle to Failure. But once again.. I didn't choose heavy enough weight.

This first week will be all off. As I'll dial in how much weight I need to be using. The 2nd week should be golden and start to feel like a real workout again.



My Plan is to hit every Muscle Group twice a Week.

Day One:
Heavy Chest
Volume Back
Volume Calves

Then on Day four. I'll come back to Chest and back, but Chest will be Volume and Back will be Heavy. I will use a R/P style on Back as well. This makes sure I'll go heavy enough and still go to failure.

Whats everyone's thoughts?

[mixedup]

looks good i had the same issue but it was an injury i came back from you pic still shows you in pretty good shape. Only thing i might say for advice is don't go too heavy to quick the ph's will give you strength that your joints and ligaments might not be ready for.

[CellWarrior]

I haven't started the PH's yet. I wanted to get back into the swing of things. Maybe in 3 weeks. I'll start those. I've done PH's in the past. Pro-Mag 25, Methyl-V-Test, and M1t back in the day.

[p5sky]

Good luck in Re-Building the body. I am starting a cut right now but then ease into a bulk. I am interested in your log because we are kind of similar in size, but I have never been up to your old size.

Good Luck!

[CellWarrior]

Gone to the Gym 3 times this week. Next week will be 100% full on. I just wanted to kind of warm up and let my body know whats coming..

[CellWarrior]

Well this is my Friday. Finshed off the week with Shoulders and a few sets of Squats.

DB Military Press Warmed up with a couple sets of 45's and then 55's. Did 3 sets with the 70's. Flet pretty good.

Moved on to Side and Front Cables. I S/S them. 3x10-12 on each. From there I went to the Rear Delt Machine. 3 sets of 10.

Pics look good, your strength looks good . . . gotta love muscle memory!

How long does it take for PP to kick-in? I know that Hdrol takes about 4 wks and epi you see gains in wk 3.

Not sure. I haven't started anything yet. I have always responded well to PH and PS. I've used many things in the past and done well off most of it. M1T and Pro-Mag 25 have been the best two I have taken. The only one I have taken in the last 2 years was a bottle of Methyl-V-Test. Which was pretty harsh.

If Hdrol takes 4 weeks to kick-in? How long does it stay in the system and still work?

[CellWarrior]

Well I've had a few good works out the last few days... Here is todays. I missed yesterday so I had to adjust the rest of the week out. Today was supposed to be Biceps, triceps and Forearms.. I missed Chest and back yesterday. So what I did was did yesterdays work out and at the end did a Super set for Biceps and Triceps. Tomrrow is Legs. Then the next was supposed to be Chest and back again. But I'll make it Arms. Then finally Chest and back again to finish out the week.

I've cut back on Mt.Dew alot these last couple of weeks. Didn't eat mush the last day or so. I dropped 4lbs the last 2 days... But over all look is great.

Anyway.. Todays work out...

I started a Short 3 week Cycle of D-Drol. 2 Caps a day. Cycle Assit and PCT all lined out. I might go 4 weeks with it. Just seeing how I feel by week 3. The stuff is harsh. Starting Weight 173lbs


This numbers sucked today. Last night went out to feed the dogs. had a 50lb bag of dog food on my shoulders. Stepped outside on some ice I didn't see. Over stretched my groin. So all my squats and Leg press I had to have my feet touching while lifting. If not I couldn't push through hard enough. I could still feel it, but not that bad. I still had a great work out and felt great.

I'd like to add I was drinking way to much Soda. About 3-4 Mt.Dews while at work and not near enough water. Well I've cut back to just one Mt.Dew at work and drink water allday long. Started this last week. I think that is what caused my 3 or 4lb weight loss so quick.

[CellWarrior]

Been at the Gym all week. Been doing good. I'll bring home my log book tomorrow and post up the numbers..

[CellWarrior]

Well here is the update from last week.

This last week has been great. Up to 177lbs and the waist is getting thinner too. Normally when I get up close to 180lbs I don’t have to wear a belt with my pants. 32's... I still have 3 notches left...YA

I had train all week and we had long lunches. So I trained during that time while everyone else went to eat. Save me some dough to. I brought a sack lunch and after lifting down a nice shake.

I had 4 days to get 5 works in... So the first one was A push and pull to get Chest and back in.
