bonscott, the one, and a life mystery!!

its weird that the strength isn't all there. if you're eating all the time, did you maybe short yourself on your pre workout shakes? i know missing it leaches my strength levels.
 
I have been eating less carbs than usual, perhaps that is the culprit?!? I'm really trying to dial in my diet. Starting about the third week I'm going to put up what I eat, and we'll see how that goes. My diet may be my weak point, more will be revealed!! As far as preworkout shakes, I usually just have a banana, and whatever NO I'm using at the time,.. oh and coffee!!! Do you think more protein preworkout will help my strength? On that note, I really shouldn't let the actual weights bother me because I'm looking good(in my mind)!! It's a mental thing!!
Silver, I hope that I don't disappoint,.. and perhaps I can be a motivation for you,.. as you have for me!!
 
Interesting and good read,.. I'll try that out and see where it takes me. Thanks!!

Mystery: Why is it necessary to nail a coffin shut???
 
Day 11
No weight or BP today

Kind of a hectic day, I coach baseball, and today was our first practice,,3.5 hours! Anyways, I didn't have much time to hit the gym,.. but I got some squats and leg curls in. Doing abs and calves at home, nothing fancy. So,,..
Squats-135x20
155x18
185x15
225x10
245x8
275x6
135x20
3 sets of leg curls.
I did a burn out set of 24 prisoner squats and 12 lunges on each leg.
I was happy about getting the 6 reps on the 275, so no complaints there. As far as widowmakers go,.. I'll have to get to them next leg workout.
There is something to be said about dosing as prescribed,.. what I mean is, at 3 a day the effects weren't as noticeable. At 4 a day it's kicking more. So, if you're over 200lbs,.. take as ordered on the bottle!! Still no lethargy, back pumps, libido issues. Everything rolling along nicely,.. at present, I am a fat burning machine!!!


Why is the time off day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
 
Man you are getting me excited about my late year run of The One. Everyone is commenting on the fat burning properties of it which is suhweet to me. Keep pressing forward and you will be lean and mean!
 
looking good Bon... how much weight have you put on? maybe thats not the best question since you're a fat burning machine ;) how much muscle have you gained?

good to see no sides reported from your cycle!
 
I started this cycle at 225,.. last weight check was 229. I couldn't really pinpoint a number, all I can say is I def look leaner!! I think the peeps following along will be pleased with the end of cycle pics. I have been cheating terribly the past 2 days, ate a pint of ice cream each night!!! I'm gonna kill cardio tonight!!

Body composition and Look: Loving the pumps, gettin' lean!

Overall Sense of Feeling: No sides to report at all,.. other than the elbow pain, no complaints. On my past cycles they didn't kick in till week 3, this seems to be the case here also. I mean that it is fully kicking at this point, I"m almost where I was last year mass wise, just need to up the cardio and tighten up the diet more!


Mystery: Why are people usually quiet on an elevator?
 
Thanks Suncloud for the compliment,.. wait'll see what I got in store for tomorrows leg workout!!!
 
Ditching the cardio is not necessarily a bad thing. I ditched it during my Epistane cycle and I think it allowed me to gain a little more mass. With the way TO seems to be putting lean mass on people you might want to eat big, get big and worry about the excess towards the end of your PCT. I know that is a hard mindset for us that have the extra in the midsection though.
 
I have gone back and forth on that thought process for a bit! I wanna use this time with the extra boost to really lose the bellyfat, in my mind I can still keep my mass while doing the cardio because of the one. Like my strength will kind of stay up and whatnot. Whenever I do cardio, my mass suffers, so I'm trying to take advantage of the supraphysiological test,.. I hope that sounds right!!! And I feel as though I have to follow through. But a full all out bulk with the one sounds nice!!!

1. fear from clastrophobia

2. maybe one of them farted, and they are embarassed

3. it creates undue pressure b/c you are being forced into someone else's space- people pick up on negative energy just like animals
 
Day 15
WT: 232.6
BP:144/82 lil higher than usual, frustrating day though!

Legs and abs today!
It was all about volume, I did a couple of warm-up sets, prepped my mind, and went for some widowmakers! 225x20, my previous best was 185x20, so I'm stoked about that. Did sets of hammer strength iso lat raise leg press and leg curls,.. all 1 leg at a time. 6 sets for calves and 6 for abs. All sets today lowest reps was 15, high volume, unilateral training today!!
Suncloud, thanks for the motivation!!!


Mystery:Ah, the great mysteries of life! Why do we park in a driveway and drive on the parkway?
 
You have some interesting "Mystery" questions, William :)
 
They're basically kinda corny, like what came first, the chicken or the egg??!! But, thanks nonetheless!!

Day 16: Off today, time to feed and rest!!!
 
Last night was the saddest night of my life. My hero, the kindest, gentlest man I ever knew, passed away suddenly. I don't know what's going to happen with this log at this point. My dad meant the world to me, he was my rock. We'll see what happens.

The Lord is my shephard;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures:
he leadeth me
besides the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.
Psalm 23:1-4

The promise of God's Word is my hope for today,
my peace tomorrow,
and my comfort always.
 
IM SO SORRY!!!MY FRIEND,MY DEEPEST SYMPAHTHY,AND MY CONDOLENCES GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BONSCOTT!..I AM SO SORRY MY FRIEND!IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU NEED,YOU!..LET ME KNOW!

"Not lost, but only lost from sight
As one who walks ahead at night".

We will be thinking of you, William.

As for your log, don't feel obligated to continue posting whilst you deal with everything. If you want to, fine; but there is no pressure, and we understand. However, if you're going to have time off training, you may still want to finish your cycle and keep dosing The ONE as normal; Joe said that it helped him when he couldn't train (due to his thumb being cut off) during his cycle.

Faith, peace, and love.
 
I don't know quite what you are going thru, but i have sat in the hospital 3x with my father in the intensive care unit, so I have an inkling. Be strong for the rest of your family.

My Brother. 11 days ago was the 3 yr anniversary of my fathers passing. I wish there were some words I could offer to ease the pain, However there are none and It doesn't get any easier. even after 3 yrs It hurts so much. If you wanna chat, Vent, talk about what your feeling hit me up man. Ive been through this over and over again. For me I got into a huge argument 3 days before his death so it hurts

My condolences
I recently lost a life long friend

i found that putting my in intesnse emotions in to words of poetry or unleashing my fury upon the wieghts helped me from going insane i mean its not medicen but it'll ease the pain

anyways i read this poem i wrote at his funeral
i say it every time i need strength or remember
psalm 23's a good one


Siting on the mountain top high,
I ask the wind that soars the sky,
what happens when a hero dies,
I reiterate in vien and curse the skys,
roared the western wind to my desperate cry,
to the source doth they all fly,
known by few spiritus mundi,
acending to the heavens,
resting in the great unknown,
crossing the tanglible lens,
finishing the long walk home

anyways i dont know you but ill keep you in my prayers because i know how much trouble i had coping with such a great loss
stay strong brother

you should try widowmakers sometime if you're feeling adventurous. 20 reps squats. rep 15 should leave you gasping for air. take a few breaths, and rep out one more. rinse, repeat. rep 20 should feel like a midget took a 2x4 to your quads, in an attempt to beat you down to size :) some of the DC'ers do unbelievable weights on them.


in retrospect, i should have done some widows today :(

He is soo right! I always finish legs with 4 sets of widowmakers the next day im limp'n harder than the inmate big papa's bunkmate Ben dover
 
I want to thank everyone on this board for your kindness and compassion. I am moved by your sincerity and prayers. It is truly uplifting and inspiring!
I figure that I should plow forward, a good upbringing has taught me to finish what I start. So I have continued to take the one, appetite has been almost non-existant. I have been drinking shakes in an attempt to keep protein up. Will be hitting the gym tomorrow. I'm going to try and finish strong.
Again, Thank You!!!

Thank you Silver, that means alot to me. Yes, keeping busy keeps me out of my mind.
 
Prayin for you man. I lost my Gpa 2 years ago and could imagine what it would be like to lose my father. You are in my prayers bro, be strong.
