Thanks brutha! A pleasure to have you on board for the rest of the journey. Plenty of adventure left on this voyage.
im also a big fan of the versa grips. i like them a lot better than regular straps. tho i havent used em a lot lately due to focus on grip and forearm developement. only using them for my 10-12 rep heavy lifts like shrugs or deads.
I told you, I am finished playing here!! It's serious ass business from now on. Back off at 225 X 15. And my traps was throbbing and pumped. It was hard to even flex 'em. My whole back area was toast at this point. BICEPS--SEATED MACHINE PREACHER CURLS: 180 X 9-5-4=18 total reps! Up 10 lbs. and 3 reps. Ooooh Yeah!! Back off at 100 X 18!! I was shooting for 20 reps but I couldn't fight the burn any longer. I went straight through this set however. If I had rested a few seconds between those last ones, there's no telling how many I could continue to gut out! But I kept pumping from start to finish to gorge the muscles with blood. STANDING CLOSE-GRIP CABLE BAR CURLS: 170 X 11. Up 10 lbs. and 1 rep. Back off at 100 X 22 reps!! Now my bi's just looked sick. :twisted: Hel, there were veins bulging in my traps, delts, and arms now! ONE-ARM OVERHEAD UPPER PULLEY CURLS: 80 X 11. Up 5 lbs. and 1 rep. Immediate drop to 45 X 15. This was THE best workout I have had in years!! Thanks Volcom and vikinginc for the behind-the-scenes motivation you provide. Thanks to everyone here for their continued support. I felt like the clock turned back 10 years and I was in my "glory days" again!! Even better days are yet to come!!!! :head:
You know how to paint a beautiful mental picture with your words brutha!! Thanks T-lake. Your support and motivation mean more to me than you could ever know!! :box:
WAR REPORT: We are racing on all cylinders now!! It's full speed ahead from here on out. The weights and reps are only going up for the rest of this cycle. I was so ready for this workout this morning! I went to my "special place"!! The place where I call upon the Berzerker Rage to carry me beyond my normal bounds. Let's dive into the numbers-##--BACK --REVERSE-GRIP LAT PULLDOWNS: 280 X 10-5-3=18 total reps!! Up 10 lbs. and 2 reps. I have some newfound inspiration driving these numbers this morning. I have a giant young viking (vkinginc) breathing down my neck! I'll do whatever it takes to hang with him. DC style sets again in effect. 15 deep breaths to rest-pause between the 3 mini-sets. All back off sets are done with impeccable form. Slow reps, slower negatives, partials, and as occasional static hold on the last rep. Back off at 210 X 12. Immediate drop to 180 X 9. OVERHAND CLOSE-GRIP PULLDOWNS: 260 X 11. Up 5 lbs. and 2 reps here. Back off at 190 X 12. REVERSE-GRIP BENTOVER ROWS: 275 X 9-5-3=17 total reps!! PR!! Up 50 lbs. from last week where I got 225 X 14. :thumbsup: I'm through playing around with this sh!t!! Back off at 225 X 15. The back off set was stronger than last week's work set. Hel yeah!! ONE-ARM DB ROWS: 150 X 10. PR! Up 10 lbs. from last week. Immediate drop to 90 X 10. MACHINE SHRUGS: 400 X 11-6-4=21 total reps!! :aargh: WTF??!!
i thought i was the only one who used viking's vids for motivation
I've got yet another surprise for this upcoming PCT!! Wait until you hear what it is! I'm excited. :dance:
I already have some chillin' in a chalice!! :afro:
If you're looking for heart-pounding workouts, pulse-racing cardio, pumps that don't quit, pillaging of towns, pilfering of treasure, and pounding of puss.......this is where it's at!!! :twisted:
Thanks nunes. You be safe and get back home to some hardcore training brother. I'll bet Sion is missing his training partner!!
I didn't know of your reincarnation at that time. LMAO!! When you PM'ed me about your cycle, I figured it out. I'm a little slow. You'll get free front-row seats for all future events. Sit back and enjoy the mayhem! :twisted:
Hey my friend. I hope you get to feeling better real soon. Until then you'll just have to rest and watch the rest of us training and going crazy!! I won't reveal the secret PCT supp until it's time to start. PCT begins next Thursday, so I will announce all of my PCT supplementation Wednesday in my log. Everything is moving along nicely right now. I'm feeling great. I'm up 6 lbs. total and even leaner than when I started this run. My muscles have a much harder and dense appearance to them. Vascularity is more prominent than it has ever been for me. Veins are sticking out all over. My aggression and focus is more intense than ever before. The alpha-male mentality has taken over my training. I don't even feel "human" anymore.:twisted: The deity in me is shining through. The divine power that All-Father has placed within me will not be denied!! :box: My strength has sky-rocketed over the last week. I'm going to pour everything into this last week of the cycle. No holds barred. No retreat....no surrender!! :duel:
What it be my brutha??!! :afro: Were you away for business or pleasure? I was wondering where you have been. I knew you were M.I.A. And yeah, I am extending this cycle for 1 extra week. That will make this cycle a little over 5 weeks in total. I think I like these slightly longer cycles better than my short ones. Shutdown will be more pronounced and it will take longer in PCT to get everything back to homeostasis. But the gains have been much better. I think next year I will run less cycles but longer ones. 6 weekers for orals. But I'm kicking off the new year with an 8 week Test-Prop front-loaded with either D-Bol or this Oral Tren. If blood work comes back okay from this cycle, I will go with the Oral Tren. It really kicks some D-bol right square in da ballz!! Tren>:nutkick:<D-Bol
