-Feelin good. However, I'm feelin the affects of low carbs. I drop energy levels pretty quick as expected. There's no quit in this kid though and theres not much complainin either. I'm just getting work done.

-Along with lower energy levels, my right shoulder is still fugged up, and now my left elbow feels like it has bursitis, some type of imflammation. Just seriously feels overused, sensitive. Gonna invest in some elbow wraps. We gotta keep workin..no stop.

-Wednesday, up dose of HDROL to 100mg for 2 wks.

Solid workouts and glad to hear the H-Drol has a positive impact on you - it did treat me very well also considering libido, aggression, fullness, etc. ;)

Keep us posted on how 100mg treats ya :thumbsup:

Looking great Flex, sorry was out repairing my roof and just didn't have time for the forums. Awesome workouts. Does your elbow hurt worse after push workout or pull workouts?

I think push. I just did back yesterday and no pain really. However, yesterday I couldn't supinate my wrist cuz of the pain in the elbow/forearm region. I remember while I was benching last week, my elbow shaking wicked, but didnt think anything of it..just weakness, instead could be an injury now...

I'm lookin into some elbow wraps of some sort now...FFS!
 
Legs - Mind/muscle

Good Evening gentlemen. Had 1 hell of a workout today. Not that I lifted crazy weight, or put up multiple PR's, but it was emotionally supercharged. It was honestly a workout you probably get once a year. One of those where you feel no pain, where you feel no limits, where no is not an answer. Please try and reflect on a workout where you felt this way so you can get the idea of where I was mentally. I had to dig deep mentally today and got it multiple times, where every rep wasn't pain, it was beyond that, it was love/hate, jealousy/envy, passion, and then my exhale breaths was me releasing all that.
Just phenomenal today. Not sure why I hit this zone today. I did do deadlifts for the first time in about 6-7 years and hit it fuggin hard. Be rest assured todays workout was everything I had, physically/mentally.

Now the emotionally charged workout: I will be detailed, I was so in the zone it was sick.

Deadlifts - No wraps no belt. Sumo style
135 - 10
315 - 5 sets of 5; 20 seconds rest.

PHUCK YEAH! After 3rd set I was already roasted. My back was pumped, losing my grip.
My partner was counting my rest time. Everytime I brought my heart rate down 2 BPM he was like 16, 17, 18 seconds, I was damn already! The first time I ever did these, I was in my early 20's and pretty much turned purple, then white, lightheaded and had to go home. I finished up strong though, it was great to conquer this again. It's been so long!

Centuries!

90x10, 180x20, 270x30, 360x20, 310x40, 270x30, 180x20, 180x10

So, I didn't hit my 40x360. Tendonitis was bothering me, didn't sleeve my knees today. Not too dissapointed though as I still got my reps in, my pump, and actually every set after the deadlifts had me feelin a tad nauseaous.

Wall Squats
Last week pumped out 4 sets of 40 seconds, 20 seconds rest. Well, riding the wave, I said lets do 5 sets of 50 seconds, 10 seconds rest. First 2 sets, cake. Last 3, holy hell my legs were trembling/shaking uncontrollably. We got it done though, last set I almost fell over.

Leg Extensions
110 - 17 reps, 10 reps
70 - 20 reps

My legs were so sensitive at this point. I almost felt like I was chiseling new striations in my legs with every rep.

Seated Calves
200 - 6
200x6, 195x8, 150x6, 145x6, 100x8, 95x8, 50x8, 45x6 - One big drop set, FIRE FIRE FIRE.
Thank you, this workout is DONE.

20 min low intense cardio, 15 min sauna.

Still hooked up my cardio and sauna. NO workout is complete without them.
 
love your logs bro...epic. nice workouts.

I wish I had time to hit the sauna...I just use eviscerate and take a hot shower after ...ugh the burn...I like...:D

Get some myofascial release going on in that triceps area right above your elbow with a tennis ball or something and see if it helps. I imagine the shaking was just you straining against the weight but still that doesn't mean you didn't get knotted up from it.


Workouts are looking on point and I can't wait to see what is next for you Bro. The sudden changes are just around the corner for both of us regarding our cuts.

Numbers

207.4 lbs, 9.7%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said last week, I think a more correct version is obviously higher. I really could be 11-12 range. However, for the sake of relativity and the fact my calipers read 9.7 you can see how far I've come.

The consistent thing I can really point out is that I'm losing about .3% BF per week. My show is set for Oct 23rd. That's 13 weeks away equating to 3.9-4.0% BF lost from now till then. If I'm 12, I dunno if 8 is gonna cut it on stage, if im truly 9.7 or in the 10's, then I think 6-7% on stage for my first would suffice. We'll keep monitoring as I go, I have had a few .6% of BF lost in a week so it can be done.
 
Hay Flex you ever take a day off? Great workout bro.

HAH! Doesn't seem like it...My Wed and Sat are just cardio so those are my days off during this prep. I don't however have a day that I just do nothing. Not right now anyway..after this prep however, I may go back to a conventional split..I'm really loving training each bodypart twice a week and dedicating my time towards it..
 
yo really want to be in the 4-5 ballpark

I hear you. However, I don't think I can get that low in time. Honestly, if I have a 6-8 pack to show, I will be doing it regardless. The experience in its own is what I'm after.

We'll see!

I think you can hit 6%...keep crushing those weights bro!
 
If you need motivation...go back and look at M16's pics again!!
 
Thanks fellaz.

On a side note, I may drop the dosage of my HDrol to 75. 100 isn't getting me any extra benefits except some really dry joints...
 
Keep on trucking man. Let the mirror be your guide, as long as the BF calipers are consistently going down and you are looking great in the mirror 6% can get you a win in the novice class. Not saying you shouldn't keep aiming for the sky because you should but remember you are going to go against other novices. Have you increased our cardio any more? If not I would go ahead and add in some more cardio now. Then you can drop calories next. Just step it up. You got to reformulate your plan of attack so you are averaging a little more weight loss now. Hit me up I think you have my email. If not PM me and I will give it to you. I want to see exactly what your eating daily and get an idea of what changes we can make to speed up the loss. You have the muscle it is conditioning now. Let's figure out how to get it to display itself even more quickly.
