Hey Bassgod---I don't mean to steal anyone's "thunder", but I'd appreciate you guys (FOOFAC, PistonPump, Hate4theWeak, Pantera, Poopypants, and Celc5, and ALL others) stopping over at my new thread called "MMV2=Meister-Mayhem-Violence 2 All Log"!! Get subbed my brothers. I need all of youse guys help on this thing. I'm logging the new MethylMasterdrol Version 2 and Receptor for LegalGear. I started taking the MMV2 yesterday @ 6 caps per day. The Receptor should come in tomorrow as it was sent out a day or so later. Thanks and keep on rocking Bassgod272!!!:head:

I would give up the smith machine.It's great for calves,but thats it.It forces you to be in a fixed range of motion,instead of doing what your body will naturally do.With your shoulder problems,I wouldn't even look at that damn thing.It is GREAT for calf raises though!

i shrug and bb row in the smith, thats about it. (the smith is the bb on a rack but fixed right?)

Yes.Therefore eliminating you of doing what your bady wants to naturally do.If you're not in the perfect spot.You'll be all thrown off.Even if you are,their still might be a spot where your arms or whatever might naturally move the bar a little one way or the other,but the bar stays,so you can't.Mix this with heavy weight,repeated use,and start making bets on what starts hurting first.I read that if you watch a world class bencher,the bar will make a buit of an s motion,as opposed to going straight up and down.

Well damn it, I REALLY am getting bored with seated db military presses. Any other substitute you guys would recommend? My gym has a machine for these, not the smith machine, but a machine strictly for shoulder presses. Maybe try this? It has 2 separate handles for each arm btw. Simulates db because you have to balance the weight with each arm and you can easily push one side up sooner than the other, if one arm is stronger.

I would,and do,stick with bb's and db's.Mainly bb's myself.the db's get so annoying getting them in place then changing them out everytime.Plus,if you're doing low reps,it's realy hard to get the db's in place.Your gym does have a place to sit and do presses with a bb right?A shoulder bench I guess you would call it?

sounds like a hammer strength machine, is it plate loaded? I love that thing.

No, they don't. Well, they DO, but it's the smith machine LMAO. I really didn't notice any pain using that tho. I actually liked it a lot. I do agree with you on positioning yourself perfectly. I had to move around a few times before I felt like I was in the correct spot. You can sit too far forward, too far back, too far to the left, etc. There's no other place where I could sit and do shoulder presses with a BB besides this machine. I know, it's LAME.

I think my gym sucks sometimes!Damn!How the hell do they not have a(whatever it's called)Ours has an adjustable seat with a rack behind you.It's kind of like a power rack for shoulders.If the smith machine doesn't hurt you.then go for it.I just like free weights.I'm old school like that.I used to use the smith mschine alot for shoulders,but I like the idea of having to balance as you push or pull,which is why I don't like machines.(one of the reasons anyways)Markus Ruhel uses lots of machines though.

No, it's not a hammer strength machine. Honestly ALL items in my gym are old, lol. I googled for like 20min and can still not find the exact machine. It looks like it was made in the 80's. The closest thing I could fine is here: Invalid Link Removed BUT, with the machine i'm talking about, you sit FACING the machine, not away from it, like in this picture. Also, he machine in the pic is fixed. What I mean is both sides for your left and right arms are connected. This is not the case on the machine at my gym. That machine has 2 SEPARATE stacks of weights for each side and 2 SEPARATE handles for each arm. Each handle has its own tack of weights. If you wanted to, you could do 1 arm shoulder presses, lol. It's fvckin weird and old school.

I'm hoping your gym does have power racks.You could take a flat bench over there and use that for bb presses.Not sure how it would work,but it should work fine

Oh i'm the same way bro. I prefer bb and db over machines anyday. I just have to use a different exercise besides seated military db presses, lol. I have done these for almost an entire year. I have to change it up for sure.
pantera101
Banned
Def need to change that up!It's prob your best bet though now that I think about it.With the mil press benches,you have to put your arms back to get the bar and then pick it up and bring it forward into position.Then just the opposite to set it down.I heard a guy telling another to do upright rows instead of presses for a while.You could do presses,raises and whatnot for a few months,then uprightrows and raises etc...for a few months.

We have a gym in Arlington called metroflex.Ronnie Coleman,Branch Warren,and some guy in the special olympics trains there.Maybe you should move to Arlington.I have thought about moving there one day solely for the purpose of this gym.It's not an option right now.My Dad owns a fencing company and right now I'm the only worker(family home ran business since late 80's).Plus,I couldn't make more at another job.Their has to better options then the gym your at.It's not called curves is it?

:toofunny: For squats, I use this weird a$s thing, lol. Now that you mention it, I don't have a power rack per se, but I do have something similar (sort of) They have this tall pullup bar that is attatched to a kind of power rack. It's weighted down by all these plates on both sides of the rack. It's not a power rack, but 3 levels of metal bars on each side that descend in height. They go from higher to lower. I set the bb on the highest bar, then load on the pates. I then get underneath the bar and squat. I told you bro, my gym is fvckin OLD SCHOOL! LOL. Tomorrow is arms day. I will take my digi camera and take pics of both the shoulder press machine and pullup/power rack combo thing. LMAO

Damn I remember when I 1st joined a gym about 12 years ago - all they had was dumbell racks and a few free weight benches. How times have changed. I still use mostly free weights but do a mix of machines too to mix things up a bit. Bass - 5 lbs is really solid for the 1st 2 weeks! Did you check BF% lately?

Nah, I don't have calipers, but will be investing in some soon. I am just judging by pics of people i've seen who look very similar to me. I am actually very curious as to what my % truly is. Yea, the 5lbs is great. My bf% is either exactly the same or even down a bit. I look leaner than before I started the cycle, but with more fullness, if that mkes any sense, lol. The EC stack and napalm/clen mix are definitey aids in that department. I am absolutely LOVING this cycle so far, and the best has yet to come! I haven't needed taurine/vitamin k for back pumps yet, acne isn't as bad as i expected(actually clearing up a bit) libido is excellent, strength increases are becoming more prominant with each session, the EC and napalm/clen stack is really helping me LEAN bulk and not put on any fat, no lethargy yet, no atrophy/supression, i mean damn! LOL. I know it's still early yet though. Today is day 17. I'm still waking up with morning wood and getting randon wood throughout the day also. DEF a plus and a sign of not being shutdown or suppressed much
EDIT: I forgot to mention, ZERO itchy nips/prolactin issues, etc. I haven't used my p-5-p yet and it would be superb if I didn't need it through the whole cycle. We will see though.

I won't use the p-5-p until I notice sides. Superdrol actually inhibits prolactin itself, so I shouldn't notice anything until PCT. I am expecting to need it during that time rather than on cycle. I am REALLY looking forward to the bridge week, then running the infamous SUPERDROL! :twisted: :clean:

The LG rep advised me to dose it @ 6 caps per day, instead of the usual 3, due to my size and past PH/PS experience. How will you be dosing?

With this one nympho chick I dated I actually wore a heart rate monitor to make sure I stayed in my aerobic zone. lol
The smith machine will fvck you up! As was mentioned previously it prevents the natural movement of the bar in most exercises but it also weakens the stabilizer muscles. When you go back to pressing BB's and DB's the strength imbalance is likely to cause injury. Presses behind the neck are a no no too as are bench dips & upright rows with a BB. Sometimes I will drop shoulder presses all together because the anterior head gets a lot of work when I bench. At that point I will focus on the posterior head which most should because I see a lot of weak rear delts. Seriously how many people can say their rear delts are overpowering? However this is usually the case with the front delts for many people. The only direct shoulder exercises I do are military BB or DB presses, front, side & bent laterals and upright rows with DB's preformed in a "Y" movement. For anyone that really wants to blow up their rear delts try pre-exhausting heavy bent laterals to failure immediately followed by some form of wide grip face pull. It will really help to give you a thick look when viewed from the side.

DAY 18: ARMS
Today's workout was pretty good. My zune's battery died on me, so it wasn't nearly as intense as my usual workouts. I was a dumb a$s and forgot to charge it last night, lol. Anyways, I started off with tricep pushdowns and did 140x6 for 3 sets. Afterward, I went to overhead db extensions and did 70x6 for 3 sets. Could have went higher on the weight, but i'm trying to not put too much stress on my shoulders. Did some dips rahter than the usual close-grip bench, again due to my shoulders. I actually felt pretty strong doing this as I have not done dips in quite some time. Did my bodyweight(185lbs) for 10 reps and 3 sets. Then I started on the biceps. Began with incline db curls at 45x6 for 3 sets, then moved on to standing hammer curls across the chest. Did 50x6 with these also for 3 sets. After that, I did 2 sets of standing 2 arm cable curls and 1 set of concentration curls. Standing cables were 70x6 and concentrations were 45x6. Felt pretty strong again during this sesion, but there were 2 hot a$$ chicas chatting it up, for some reason in the weght room, lol. They were doing pull ups. I was a bit distracted the entire workout because of this, but oh well, what can a nukka do?:cheers: I am noticing an increase in size also. Looking in the mirror after my session, I can def see an increase in mass on my upper body. I WAS pumped, but I was still visibly larger and more full looking than when I was pumped at the beginning if the cycle. I'm loving this so far!

Hot chics in the gym is why managing a gym was my all time favorite job. You should of seen some of the ones I used to train...I had to "pretend" to watch their form when they did their sets in order to avoid constant wood! Now all I work with are violent, criminally insane & sexually deviant men...WTF happened!!!
What about weight? Have you gained any this wk? I only gained 1lbs this wk...pathetic. What's even more pathetic is that I changed it in my profile. lol I think I need to dirty up my bulk a little. Eating too clean is a habit that is hard to break. Bring on the pizza!!! You may need to do the same if you have a new woman to make sure you get enough calories. Which leads me to another story...This other nympho I was dating that I only saw on weekends was like a sexual marathon runner. I swear to god we would be Friday to Monday in the sack by which time I would be so sore it looked like my privates had been in an accident. Anyway I would keep beer & jelly filled donuts under the bed. I would consume approx 2 dozen donuts a day to help keep my calories up. When I would return to the gym after the weekend everyone would ask what my diet was because I was getting so ripped. I would tell them donuts & beer but they would never believe me. lol Anyone wondering what the alcohol was for? I'm sure you all know that too much alcohol can result in a night of pushing rope but in the popper amounts it can turn you into a porn star so you can preform like the energizer bunny. If you're in your early 20's and you're dating a girl who is insanely multi orgasmic you will appreciate this little tip.:thumbsup:

Nope, due to my line of work I don't post anything that could compromise my anonymity. Most people in law enforcement would be able to relate to this & it has to be this way in order to protect my family & my employment. I hope you understand.
I'm pissed I only gained 1lbs because I never gained anything the wk before when I took that wk off from training but continued my pulse. I only have 1.5 wks left on this pulse and I want to hit 240lbs before I cut. BTW last time I cut down around 200lbs after my bulk so this time I'm hoping for close to 210lbs in the same condition. Normally I can't gain muscle without gaining fat but epi has really helped in this dept. As an experiment I bulked up to 270lbs the fall and came down to 224lbs prior to this pulse. At 5'7" & 270lbs I was huge but pretty fat and felt like crap so that's the last time I go that high. I'm actually looking forward to dieting because I'm so sick of eating. lol

Yup just epi & this is the first time I have ever taken PH's or PS's or whatever you call this stuff. Most people assume I'm a newbie because of my lack of knowledge on this subject but I have been training for over 25yrs, managed a gym, personal trainer, helped a few get ready for natural competitions and judged a few too. Did I forget rock star. jk I can't pay or sing with a damn. lol Thanks to a few on this forum, especially bassgod272 who has taken me under his wing, I am slowly getting up to speed on this stuff.
I haven't used calipers in years but I would guess somewhere between 15% & 18% because I can still see my abs and have reasonable vascularity at this weight. I have a crazy chest to waist ratio and can get it my waist down to 28" with my chest at 47". Hoping to put another inch on that last number this time around. My brothers are the same height and weigh approx 180lbs at under 10% body fat. They do not train or diet but you'd swear by looking at them that they did. They would come to my gym to see me sometimes and people would always ask them what their training & diet was so they would make up stuff because no one would believe them when they said they didn't do any. lol
