so another day is here - hit up a nasty leg workout. couldn't manage to increase weight on leg extensions, due to my knee acting up, though that certainly didn't stop me on hack squats. here's the workout from the first week - keep in mind that i was already on cycle, so my results are greater than they appear 
week 1 - wednesday.
squats (ATG) 205 lbs 7/4/2 - lost 3 reps, went up 10 lbs. no back off 135x12 - WIDOWMAKER (parallel) 185x20!!!! oh my frikken god they hurt!!!!
SLDL 205 lbs 7/4/2 down one rep, up 20 lbs!
leg extensions 225 lbs 8/5/3 up one rep, and 30 lbs?
cable crunches 150x16 - up by 20 lbs.
pinwheel curls - 60x 7/4/3 - up 15 lbs? that's more than a 20% increase.....
standing calf raises 260x16, 260x14 (standing is a new machine)
hack squats (new as well) 180 x 8/4/2
today
Wednesday
legs/abs/forearms
rest pause
squats (ATG) 265 x 7/4/3 - up 10 lbs and 3 reps
SLDL 225 x 7/4/2 - down one rep, up 10 lbs.
leg extensions 270 lbs 9/5/3 - up 4 reps. knees do not like going up more weight.
cable crunches 160x17
pinwheel curls - 80x 5/3/2 - same reps, up 5 lbs. the 80's made me want to scream!
standing calf raises 340 x 22, 380 x 15 - up 20 lbs on both sets, same total reps, though set reps changed.
hack squats 320x 6/3/2 - lost 2 reps, up 50 lbs. no knee pressure on this exercise.
i feel like i could have pushed harder than this (now that i'm done), but when i was there, no way i could have done more than i did. thanks for listening guys i'm looking at before/after hack squat numbers and wondering WTF is going on?

No doubt...that hack squat increase is mind blowing!! Almost double the weight. Sunny, leg extensions really aren't a great one for the knees, deffinitely not at those weights. I would just lighten the weight up alot and do them at the end for a finisher. My .02 cents...
Oh and...80 lb pinwheels:scared:

I expect NOTHING less from you! You have come this far, no reason to NOT give it even more to finish it off and be higher then you coulda ever imagined!
IF your goin to do it, dont just do 100%! Do 110% + whatever else you can do to make a dream, a reality!

Yes your right. Thats true which is why i was thinking long and hard about it. Ive taken Mstak befor and no probs. Im only on Remicaide and Flagyl now. Dropped the other 3meds! Im just happy my appitite is coming back! Got in about 3k today!
Teg

Guess this would be the best thing to do and save some money doing it. Then hopfully by the time i get back to my "usual", ill be ready to take a step in the PH direction, unless T911 just puts me over the hilt and works THAT well! :laugh:
I cant complain tho, ive been gaining on a under maint. diet this last week and a half! How? I have NO CLUE! Being i weighed in today at 153(all last week was 150/151)

I talked to Sam about the T911 and AS, and we should be getting these with our next order, so you can pick it up with your other supplies on your next order (Since you already got one en route
) I've heard great things about it though, and will be trying the two of them this summer most likely.

Teg,
I'm advising the training/supplementation/diet of a co-worker for the last year and he has Crohn's as well. It's been hard as Hel to get some mass on him. Extra carbs didn't seem to do it. But since I've had him to up his protein and healthy fats intake significantly, he's finally gaining a few pounds!!
I've got him eating lots of peanut butter, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.....
And like G-Money said earlier, LOTS of steaks!!!!!
Good luck brother. I know you'll love the T-911 too!!!

Thank TG! Yes it took me 3yrs to go from 140-175pds and stayed at 7%BF! I was thinking about adding so more fats in, but wasnt sure about it, ill start up on that! PB is kinda a no no, but it depends alot on my body at the time, sometimes its fine others not so much, same goes for oats and wheat bread! Im heading to the store tonite and picking up a resupply of steaks, ice cream, oils(coconut and olive), creamer, and tryin to find some dang Goats milk!
Actually i JUST came in from getting the mail, and guess what, T911 arrived! Woot Woot! Havnt even opened it yet! hahaha
Again Thanks TG! If you would sir stop in on my log! Its in my sig!

Thats what i keep hearing! Im pondering if i wanna start it tomarrow or hold off? The reason why i wanna start it now is i plan on goin to Portland beginning/mid May for about a week or so and im not sure if ill be able to get to lift????? But i can wait which wont hurt me either, im just anxious to use it and log it in my thread! LOL Would be a good way to start off my new log! haha

got sidetracked with the kids - son had a carnival thingy at his school today
will update this log in a few. i will quickly mention that i switched the order of my routine today - i suspect my front delts (hit 55 lb dumbells today) are overpowering my chest, making my DB bench a waste. after prefatiguing my front/mid delts, i really felt my chest take a beating.

dude, pre exhausting my delts are definitely the best way to go for me - they really are overpowering my bench.
here's first weeks workout :
DB bench - 65's 8/5/3
Pec Dec - 180x6/4/3
Butterfly Machine - 220x8/4/3
Front delt DB raises - 35x7/4/2 (PR's baby). then 40x4 and i fried them out
side delt DB raises - 30x6/4/3 (PR as well)
Seated dip machine - 325x 8/3/1 - real world weight - stuck a plate on it when i maxed the machine out
tricep rope pushdowns 90x 8/5/3
EZ bar reverse grip triceps 90x9 - i need to find another rear tri workout - i feel like i'm going to drop the weights on my head.
here's this weeks, with PR's in bold
thursday
chest/tri/front & mid delts
rest pause
Front DB delt raises - 55 x 5/3/2 - same reps, up 5 lbs. felt hard, but doable.
Side DB delt raises - 40x7/4/2 - down 3 reps, up 5 lbs. these are painful. something tweaked on the underside of my delts.
Pec Dec - 240x8/4/2 - same reps, up 10 lbs
Butterfly Machine - 220x16/8/4 - up 3 more reps.
DB bench - 85's 9/4/2 - lost 3 reps, up 5 lbs. i felt my chest struggling on rep 7 - a nice change.
seated dip machine
overhand - 240x16 - up 20 lbs and a rep.
underhand - 230x13 - down a rep, up 10 lbs
parallel grip - 240x16 - same reps, up 10 lbs
thoughts : workout felt awesome. i've never strained that much on chest as i did today. aggression and mood is great, libido is still pretty solid as well. aside from the issue with side delt raises and the weird pain, i'm pretty happy about this. the pain i suspect is stabilizer muscles that haven't grown quite as fast as my primary muscles, so i'll leave my side delt raises at 40's until they catch up. its only painful when i actually lift, no residual pain throughout the day.
i'm actually kind of shocked, because i always suspected my tri's overpower my chest, but this isn't what's happening. live and learn i guess anyways, thats it for today. oh, and i'm getting a case of the sniffles, so i'm superdosing vitamin C. if it continues tomorrow, i'll start PCT 3 days early just to be safe - i can't kick a cold while on cycle. besides, i'm pretty happy with what i've gained so far - i'd rather not loose it

Wow bro heem that is frackin killer! Good thing you thought of pre exhausting those sholders! Put a bit more strain on the chest
no sniffles this morning - 8g of vitamin C did the trick

Woot! Glad to hear no more sniffles! Amen Brother! Thats what i try to fig out. Just like my chest, static holds just made em come ALIVE lol What works for one may not for another!no sniffles this morning - 8g of vitamin C did the trick
Decided to Started T-911 this morn. Took 30min to dissolve tho? But eh whatever.
1 prob tho, i could hardly eat this morn! ARG! I took T-911 at 735. Went to go make breakfast at 8ish, and started having some Crohns pain, but i made 2eggs and hashbrowns anyways. Only got 1 egg down and a couple bites of browns befor i felt like i was goin to throw up. So i waited till 9. Grabbed the sugary maple brownsugar oats box that my dad usually eats and said screw it ill try a packet. And ate it no prob! Errr Maybe i need a break from eggs or somthing? lol
But im super glad your doing better bro!

some people get digestive issues with eggs - i get sick when i try and eat more than 5 at a time. sometimes when i finish the 3rd one i start feeling ill, but whatever.
as far as the T-911 taking 30 minutes to dissolve, i have no clue. i'm starting mine on monday, so i'll have to get back to you on that

WAWAWIWA (borat voice). Those are some great improvements bro. No Freaking Joke! Great strength gains!
As far as the shoulder pain, I had a similar pain from similar movements. I gave it some extra streching before workout, and inbetween 2 warmup sets. I would go really light with the weight for about 2 sets and do like 30 reps. I would do 20 second streches in between the 2 warm up sets and the pain never happened again. As simple as that. I guess you need that when you start messing with higher weight!:dl:

Well-known member
thanks brotha. i suspect you're right about warmup sets. when i did DB bench first, i didn't have this issue, nor did i get a great chest workout, so my delts were probably "warming up". now that the routine has switched a bit, i may need an extra set to get the blood flowing.
buster0371
Well-known member
yeah the pain i felt was exactly as you discribed also. I too thought it was a stabilizer muscle, and it may be. but def try the warm up sets/streching
