tonight was back/bicep day. the gym was pretty packed and i had started out doing preacher curl on this precor equipment, but i think it's designed for short arm people because it felt nothing but awkward. everything else related to a pc was in use, no hard feelings though.

i might rest tomorrow, it's supposed to be a wednesday rest day, and i can pick up my friday on saturday im not too worried about that. then rest sun and then full on mon/tue thu/fri. depending how i feel next wed, will be a regular ab/cardio morning and off evening. probably use that time for haircut and other shat.
next pm workout is a leg day. im sure by tomorrow after work i'll feel pretty damn good, so i'll plan to hit them anyway. depending how i feel in the morning i'll do abs/cardio.
took this morning off, probably shouldn't have. the only part of me that isn't sore is the ab area. im going to kick up the reps tomorrow morning. planning the leg day in a few, soon as i get a little bit of free time at work. arms are feeling pretty good, i definitely gave them a run for their money this week.
my biggest rant about yesterday's "back day" is that my forearms are worthless, that's what bothered me the most and kept my weight down on the tbar rows. same thing on deads, my grip is crap and while i have straps im too lazy to drag them through the gym with me. especially for 245 that's a little lame. so forearms, f**** you!
I agree with Timberlakers, pump is too funny man. So when you are not pumping does it say "pump is off". Hey man get you some gloves, they do about the same thing as straps.
Woah.. You're only 174 6'1. With those measurements you posted man I don't know if it's wise to be taking steroids just yet. You did an epistane cycle and are considering another cycle? Honestly man, I'm not trying to bash you, but I'm sure you could progress just fine if you trained naturally.

no worries, i agree with you 100%. i am also a hard headed SOB and enjoyed the accelerated results of the epi cycle. what im working on now is forcing myself to eat the way i did on cycle, and train the way i did on cycle, and see how it all pans out. this is one of the reasons im posting everything up here, no holds barred, this is me- i have a long way to go. ive also come a long way from 8 years solid @ 135 (a few years back now). thanks for your input bro, definitely appreciate it!

Thanks for taking that constructively. A lot of guys don't want to hear what what I told you and get extremely defensive.
ok another leg day, and i got my headaches again after leg press. im not sure if i'm just really not breathing right, or what. i mean i know i am, but maybe i'm over doing it, not sure.
since this was in the salisbury gym, i had to start with new numbers. at least this place labels the weight of the carriages for the leg press, and they have a hack squat machine so im switching up squats for those.
leg press (carriage is 118, already factored in)
10x208
8x298
8x388
8x478
10x208
leg curl (evil precor!@#@)
10x10
10x35
10x35
10x35
calf raise (galileo machine, i have no idea what the number represents in weight)
10x#4
8x#6
7x#5
10x#4
10x#3
10x#3
10x#2
felt this one in my lower back. i'll probably keep these same weights until that feeling goes away.
tomorrow AM is cardio/abs and shoulders tomorrow night. the nice thing about dedicating a day to shoulders is i get to play with all those cable weights and sh*t.
and you guys are right about the straps, im wasting part of my back day without them for those tbar rows, and im sure i can get more out of my deads with them. forearms will catch up in due time, no need slowing down progress. i'll be carrying the straps around next back day. thanks all!
opted to rest this morning. i was wide awake at 2am and that's just too early to do anything, up again at 4 but still a bit too early. just enough to piss me off and reset the alarm for 6. i'll toss some abs in after shoulders tonight.
I'm sleeping really well lately. Sleep ON cycle for me is awful.
during epi i was actually feeling a lot better waking up in the morning. could have all been mental motivation for me, or other factors that i can't remember. i wonder how all the logs around here are going to look when we lose an hour this weekend

they have this weird machine here that im going to have to get used to
5x10 (dont know the carriage weight)
10xNo Extra Weight, left and right
10xNo Extra Weight, left and right
i think im really going to like that once i get going
now it's a rest day until monday, it was a good week and probably a little harder than the rest due to shifting mon/tue to tue/wed and not resting wednesday. we'll see, i feel pretty good overall.
the one came in today, very tiny. i think this might be the new ultimate first cycle for people, one bottle for cycle and one for pct. no 2.2 bottles (wtf!) of whatever + arcane concoction of ai/test booster/cort control.
didnt have time to post yesterdays numbers, i'll try to put them up with tonight's tomorrow. work's just been a little more hectic and that's about the only time i can get on here. i will be using the straps on tbar row and deadlifts tonight so hopefully that helps me reserve some strength for higher numbers. 275 is still my ceiling on DL.
172 lb in the morning, 177 lb at the end of the day. go go gadget food!
