Bump for news.
Tweaked a calf and possibly my old sports hernia injury on the cluster reps for dead at 525, so a bit lackluster - ate huge this weekend so hopefully the healing can begin.
Very interesting effects on mood continue
About a year ago I hyperextended my hips forward doing hammer strength deads at 585
I can tell because it's unilateral to my right side, and results in a particular brand of testicular pain that can be alleviated by pressing on the abdomen on that side at about the beltline. Sports hernias are inflammation of the hole in the muscular wall that the spermatic cord descends through, and pressing on the inguinal canal can reduce pressure on the cord.
It's not that bad today, I'm going to squat as normal. The calf spasm was honestly scarier. I saw it ball up on my leg and only sllowwwly unclench

Damn dude that sucks! Ive never seen a hammer strength dead machine...that is tight (i googled it)
I really like the HS dead motion too, it's a very strongman-type lift. I have done it for 6 with 16 plates, and it was awesome.
Finally, there were some bros on the vertical leg press machine doing triples with 4 plates on a side (this machine: Invalid Link Removed)
...so i went over and did a deep widowmaker for 20 reps with 6 plates on a side, cold. Not in a ****ish way, it was all cool.
Haha. It's definitely all about tone and presentation - My buddy is like a lifting robot, and anyone he even asks to work in with jut assumes he is a huge jerk. I've never had a problem, I always try to be personable and recognize we're all there for the same reason at the gym.
Being the size of a house probably helps too.
Any noticeable changes in the mirror? I was looking today and can definitely see a difference in LBM.

Fuark, forgot to take it before dinner, popping 4 now
Haven't had much to write home about at the gym from recent sessions - going today with a focus on legs. I actually am finding that, being on a caloric deficit, this stuff pushes me to work out possibly more than my recovery capacity. I think Rosie is dead on with it being perfect for a lean bulk. I actually am down to 251 now, so I am still losing at a similar rate to what I was before - I think this stuff is diuretic though, so I may have a minor LBM gain to show for it.
13 reps with 16 plates vertical leg press (PR)
Mirror says I'm leaner + more vascular after 3 weeks on Anabeta - Gotta workout chest and back here yet.

Chest and back on Friday...good choice...no ones every in the gym!
Ain't that the truth - they're too busy getting ready to go out partying, LOL. Ah well, more space and less idiots to deal with![]()

Partying is overrated the gym is not, one is an investment in you..the other can destroy it.
Give me a patio, some ice cold micro brew and a cardinals game!Even though I don't mind doing it a few times a year, I've never been a party girl - give me the gym any day of the week :saevilw:

Pulled 585, figured out a deficiency in my dead form (was straightening legs too early, bringing my shoulders way in front of the bar instead of over it).
PR for being natty, actually.
Did a billion rack pulls to reinforce my lockout form. from right below the knees. 495x8 405xWho knows (more than 20?)
neutral grip pulldowns @260 - 8 4 5 (dropped to 240). Did these DC style because I was crunched for time. Surprisingly heavy.
I feel small because I'm not on, but aesthetically I would say I'm at my peak. Less monstrous than on superdrol, obviously, but I'm just a bit away from having abs now.

I should also mention that I was intermittent fasting and took a lot of liberties with dosing during this run - the hypoglycemic effects, I can definitely confirm. Actually more noticeable than any other GDA I've taken. A few times I made some poor choices (taking 3 anabeta with a large pizza postworkout and not quite enough water before bed woke me up with insane thirst - I've only gotten that kind of glycogen loading effect from DS before.)
I agree Rosie, could you see using AB01 as a sort of "Anti-cheat" for people who are on any sort of cyclic diet?
