Sub'd.. Good log so far.
Sub'd.. Good log so far.
Sooo here is my workout updates from the past two workouts.
Back/Biceps
Wide grip pull downs - 160x10, 180x10, 200x8, 230x4 rest for 10 breaths x3 more. I have been reading about DC training, and I just figured why not incorporate one last set like that and see how it felt. Wow... pretty intense pump. I kinda like it... we'll see how DC goes as soon as I am through with PCT.
BB rows - 135x10, 185x10, 205x7, 135x15
CG cable rows - 160x10, 180x10, 200x8
low lat pressdowns - 50x10x3 sets
My back strength is really through the roof for me right now. I am quite a bit stronger than I was not too long ago.
Biceps
Preacher curls - 25's on an ezbar x10x3 sets. I haven't done preachers in a LONG time... I lost quite a bit of strength with it, makes me think that my shoulders are cheating my biceps... and from my bicep development, that could very well be the case. Preachers for two more weeks before I switch it up... these are giving me awesome pumps.
Hammer DB curls - 30x10, 40x10, 45x10... fiftys were taken... oh well.
cable concentration curls - 30x10x3 sets
During this workout I almost puked. Not sure if it was the AS or the combo of AS and 70gm WMS, or just me kicking my own ass. I dosed the AS without the WMS yesterday, and it didn't make me feel nauseous. Gonna try two scoops soon... not sure if I am going to today. One scoop gets me really freakin wired. Which is NOT the case for me with most PreWO supps. The feeling is more like being "on" something, than just tweaked out. Much more easy to focus and dig deep rather than just exploding for a set and then losing steam at the end of a few exercises. My mood has been good, this AS seems to be a good choice for PCT as far as a creatine/arginine with added benefits of a bunch of testosterone support supplements.
Shoulders/Abs/Cardio
Military Press superset with Arnold Press - 135's and 45's. 4 sets of 10.
Upright row 135x10x3sets
lateral/front raise superset - 15x10, 20x10, 25x10. The lighter I go on these the more my shoulders seem to pump up. I have trouble with my traps overpowering my shoulders a lot... so the lighter I go (to a point), the better I can concentrate on my deltoid.
BB shrugs - 225x10, 315x10, 315x10, 225x10
Miltiary hammer strength press - plates x20, plates x15
Cardio 20 minutes HIIT on eliptical.
Workout motivation for the afternoon.

thats what she saidI have a pretty good grip, but my hands get sweaty.
Haha yeah that was pretty funny!Thanks bud. Haha, remember when you were gonna have that competition with guil-t? lmao!
GMG you ever try doing your laterals with a focus on keeping your elbows above your wrist, it pulls the side/rears into action instead of the generic thumbs up, elbows down all front delt laterals. Also works good to do it with your elbows at 90 degrees and once again elbows above wrists.

I see you've tested the waters on the DC type sets. Nice. I love 'em!! They have really jacked up the intensity of my training. I'm hooked.
I think the reason I'm so strong on preacher curls, is that maybe my delts or traps are getting way too involved in the movement, robbing my biceps of the stimulation they need. But on my lighter "back-off" sets, I feel them directly in my biceps. So it's best to switch up the workload. Heavy sets with lighter finishing sets to really target those muscles.
And same deal with the laterals and front raises. My overly strong and overly developed traps want to do the work. So I experiment with my hand positioning. Try holding your hands like you're pouring water from a teapot on the side laterals. Your thumbs will be lower than the other side of your hand.
And for the front raises, I feel them better if I rotate my hands during the movement. Start with palms facing in against your thighs. Then rotate (supinate) them as you bring the DB's up and your palms are facing the floor at the end of the movement.
Try these on for size and tell me in a couple of weeks if you're not feeling the exercises in your delts more. :thumbsup:
I dont know about you guys, but I never feel good going really heavy with shoulder stuff, Ive always felt better in the 8-12 rep range, not the 4-6, just my .02its often the problem with heavier weights, it robs you of quality.

heavier weights actually hurt my joints. i have to keep the weight low and just do lots of sets and am hoping that eventually the pain from heavier weights goes away.
So the AS really jacked me up yesterday... I don't know if it was the new Hatebreed CD I bought and put on my Ipod gym mix that got me so pumped, or if it was all AS... but I just wanted to tear the weights to shreds yesterday. The intensity was cranked up higher than it has been in a long time. This stuff hits me before I finish the entire glass of it. I like it too because it doesn't give me the shakes. NOXplode can give me the shakes if I am not careful, and then doesn't even work unless I have an empty stomach.
This stuff is pretty darn good LG. Any other flavors coming out? I have had enough fruit punch flavored drinks for a lifetime and a half.
Ever try cissus... works like a charm for my elbow.
You started using an ipod finally?
haha yeah the fruit punch flavor is not the most appealing. I tend to try and avoid any supplementsPerhaps fruit punch was used as their are so many things to try and mask the calling it "fruit punch" was just the easiest option![]()

No problema, mi hermano!! :rofl:yo! sorry i have been mia! it has been a bitch getting to mexico! lol

I read somewhere recently that tamox reduces igf1, of course I have a bunch of it sitting around and money being hard to come by, and going the low road during PCT. I'm glad you're on Toremifine, the results are definitely worth it's cost. How is your appetite btw? Any change?
Not really with the torem... my appetite has been absolute sh*t lately. I am hungry for two out of my 6-7 meals a day... a lot more casein shakes and cereal has been eaten than I would like to admit. I really need to go out and buy a new cookbook, because I am in a rut with my cooking. I think this may have to do withe the fact that I dropped a lot of the cardio that I was used to when I ran Mdrol, and I think that cardio is what makes me get hungry all day.
I think the taxation of my liver from the mdrol/serms has effected my appetite... its definitely coming back around though.
Sounds like your Roast/SauerKraut/Sweet Potatoe concoction!! I love that stuff. I had never eaten Kraut cooked in with a roast before. And then the sweet potatoes in on top of it all......ooooh yeah!! :head:Dude, I am always hungry... If you need help with a recipe, just tell me what you're thinking of eating for the night - and I'll type you out one of my favorite recipes with that certain protein or carb... Plus there are so many cooking recipes online.
With your kitchen setup - you should REALLY think about going out and getting a 30 dollar crockpot. 5 pounds of lean meat cooked in 8 hours - juicy as hell - and ready in 5 minutes for 8 meals or so...

I know what I'm cooking tomorrow!! :lol:
So I have been taking Toremifine instead of my original plan of nolva. I am a believer. Torem is the way to go my friends. Its only been a few days of 60mg, but I am feeling 100% recovered and kinda more... this stuff is giving me a crazy libido. This PCT has been A LOT easier on me than the last, especially in the girlfriend department. :lol:
I think that the AS is helping quite a bit too. I notice a distinct aggression on it that I don't on most other pre workout drinks. I also think the AI in it has led me to a drop in bodyfat. I got a bit carried away trying to stay above 200 in the past few weeks. I've also been doing some more cardio than I had been on cycle. I've dropped a few pounds, but I think its mostly fat or water as my measurements are the same on my arms legs and chest. I am right around 198 now... but I think I look better than I did on the mdrol. I know mdrol is dry, but I just don't think I dialed in my carb intake right... I think I was too lenient with the quality of carbs that I took in. I will be taking a gainer for sure during my next cycle... kinda wish I had this time around... oh well, live and learn.
Another note, is I doubt I will ever run a 3 weeker again. Of course if I run Mdrol or Phera it is going to be only dosed for three weeks, but it will be used alongside something else, which will be ran longer. While 3 weeks of mdrol was kinder on me than 6 weeks of epistane, I am starting to understand why people talk about how hard it is to keep gains from a short cycle.
Oh well, I am bigger and stronger than I ever have been... that's what really counts in my mind. I'm not going to worry about my weight at the moment, it's just a number. I think I am gonna try to recomp to as lean as I can get before I run the 1-T hdrol feraguno run. After that, we start cutting.
looks like i need to pick up a few bottles of torem. oh and by the way i got my 1-t in the mail! thanks to my mom! I just love the holidays! lol chanukah, its speacial time!
If I remember correctly from another thread one guy was thinking about getting 1-T for his dad. Now that is a cool freakin dad.Your parents buy your hormones for you?
Holy cow, if my parents knew I was juicing they would freak right the f*ck out.
Broceefous.....that's funny.Damn G, you are going to need a hoist soon for those DBs. Looking large and in charge broceefous. I am going to have to tap some AS for myself here.

my pops is running hdrol right now at 50 haha. He was against all my supplements at first because all they had was AAS back in the day and now they have all these supplements and i have let him use them and he likes them. mentalities change real quick when you introduce them to it the right waysee that's the thing, my mom just gave me a bunch of money and was like buy whatever. so, indirectly she bought them for me.
My mom doesn't know I have them or know about the hdrol. she would cry.... My dad on the other hand watched Bigger, Stronger, Faster and now he doesn't think that they are the demon drug. He actually now wants to go to an anti-aging clinic. He wants to wait till he gets in great shape before he goes. My pops is chill with the stuff, the movie enlightened him.
So I got chest today. I believe today was day 7 on the AS. This stuff is pretty darn potent. I got some really intense pumps today, and my vascularity was noticeably improved. I mean, veins in my shoulders and chest that I have never seen before were popping out. Again, my motivation to lift the heavy weights is right there as soon as I drink the AS. So far I haven't been able to drink it and not go exercise. This weekend I only did cardio and abs, but I don't think I could have sat still after taking it. Not a jittery/cracked out feeling though. My strength was right were it should be, and my weight was nice and high. 198 lbs. Not too shabby for me. Even did some HIIT Cardio today. I decided to give my arms their own day for a few weeks, so I will be working arms on Wednesday, giving myself a 5-2 split. Here is how it went down.
Chest
Incline DB - 70x10, 85x9, 100x6 < that is about as good as I have ever incline pressed. Pretty happy about it, being almost through PCT.
DB bench press - 80x10, 95x10, 110x3, 65x10
Cable raise - 35x10, 45x10, 50x10
Cable fly - 60x10, 70x10, 80x10
HIIT on the elliptical for 20 - 30 second wind sprints in 20 minutes.
Damn, broski, 20 minutes of HIIT following a hardcore chest session ?! Digging your dedication .. and your love for pain .. And your keep-gaining-throughout-PCT situation you're currently in ..
.. regarding the weight loss, would you not contribute that more-so to water weight lost ?! With any above-normal quantity of carbs alongside M-drol, I see definite bloat/waterweight, unless everything is in check throughout .. Even so, I'd be happy about the couple lbs loss, being you're looking leaner as you say !
