Yeah I couldnt begin to tell you the last time I used a barbell for squats. So that weight is impressive. Now on the machine I use that is a different story. Lol... Nice freaking job sir.

I've done DB Step-Ups many times. Great variation movement.
But, are you calling split-squats something like Barbell Lunges only you're doing one leg at a time? Like do the right leg first for 10 reps or whatever the target is, then doing the other leg afterwards?
I've got a leg session scheduled this morning. I'm gonna give those Split-Squats a go!!

Thanks guys!!! In all honesty, my legs are still a little sore. I'm hoping to go up a little next time, but we'll see. I use to kill legs in highschool...no problem. I'll get back there again.
I attempted to Rep, but: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to DreamWeaver/RickRock13/mattrag again.

I have been skimping on abs and definitely need to correct this. I'm going to put extra emphasis on getting them done this week. Even if it means staying at work a little long in order to do it. FUG IT!!! I'm going to stay at work a little longer and get every routine and every rep done from here on out. I can't just miss this and that and expect to get where I want. I need to step up to the fugging plate and do my job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONE!

I don't have my journal with me tonight, but I can let everyone in on the situation. For starters, this is day 3 that I have not been to the gym. 1 of those days was a scheduled day off, but I'm really hating not going. I really have not had the time due to a home brewed situation that I would not have planned for. I am an honest and open person, so I don't have an issue with filling everyone in on the "Monsoon":
2 nights ago, I was at work and received a call letting me know that my daughter had been arrested and was in jail for a Class B Misdemeanor. "Possession of Stolen Property $50 - $500. (History: She was caught shop lifting 2 years ago and they released her to me as a favor without charges. 1 year ago I caught her using drugs and enrolled her in rehab. She has been clean with drugs and alcohol since then. Now she was caught with this bullsh!t and I was not going to help. She had to bail herself out/post her own bond. I sold her car yesterday, Cut off her phone and cancelled her service, moved her out of the upstairs and into the downstairs area (she had the entire 2nd floor to herself). Now I'm just trying to keep the family running smoothly while keeping her in check and on lock down. She has to go to court, pay all fees and fines and I'm doing nothing for her. I feel that I gave her plenty and did my job. It is now her time to step up and get herself out of it. She even told me she expected me to use some influence to get her out of trouble. (NOT FUGGING HAPPENING) The sh!t that comes with what she did is what has kept me from this site and the gym, but I believe I am at a point where I can get into the gym tomorrow and start the ball rolling again.
I apologize for the lack of follow ups and postings, but I'm sure you understand. If you don't, you may want to read someone elses log!!

NOW FOR A BIT OF GOOD NEWS:
I've read that EPI cures gyno and also that it doesn't. Well I have to throw my hat in the ring for "It Does" or at least it appears that way. I had not on my right nip. A couple of days ago it split and the lower half vanished. Today, I awoke and my right nip was not as tender. I gave myself a check and the other half has gone away. I am still a little tender, but it is nothing compared to what it was. If it stays gone throughout my cycle and through PCT, my self esteem will go back up and I will feel much happier!!!!!
Now...I am also on TRANS which is new to me. This too could have played a roll in this, but I'll leave anything regarding TRANS and what it can possibly do to RICK.

Sorry to hear about the family issues. Life happens. No matter how much we try to avoid those type situations. It will turn out alright. She'll understand your actions later. I didn't exactly enjoy my parent's tough love procedures. But they worked.
And good knews about the gyno. I've heard many people report the same thing about Epi. I know it keeps my estro-related bloat down very well. Don't have any bad thing to say about the compound. It works.

This is going to be short, but I'm thinking of stopping this log and keeping up the workouts. I don't feel that I am giving this log the attention that it deserves. I will make the decision this week when I figure out if everything is leveling back out.

That's a quick improvement on those Deadlifts, bro. Nice work. Keep at it. Deadlifts and Squats are the 2 most important exercises that lifters of any type should be doing.

Thanks for the support! I've decided to keep the log going and like everyone said, post when I can. I think things are starting to level out, but who knows...
I'm not going to post my entire workouts, but I will post some numbers that I thought showed improvement. (It'll be in the next reply) I am also going to extend my run at least 1 week to make up for this past sh!t storm of a week. I did miss a few days of dosing and a few days of gym time. I owe it to myself to give the extra week or two. Even if I extend 2 weeks, that will put me at the max (8wks) and should not be in any danger of harming my body. I'm also going to start dosing 50 mg this week. That will not start until Wednesday, but it will start. TRANS will stay the same.

Deads: 325 work out weight. Once I got the form down, I started loving them. I loved having others watch me lift!!!!
BB Shoulder Shrugs: 305. Again, everyone was watching me lift. I enjoyed the fact that the 2 guys next to me where shrugging 40 lb and 60 lb's. Reminded me of where I started and how I would watch the other guys lift heavier weight than I could imagine. (I still do this and it gives me something else to shoot for)
I've still been focusing on each head of the BI, but I think this week I will only do BB Curls and Hammers in an effort to put on size. (Opinions Please)
Today I am going to the gym and will be working legs. (I'm hoping to get 225 x15 x3)

Here's a neet trick for weighted crunches, put the weight behind your head and it will put way more tension on the abs... I use like a 30 lb ...sometimes more ... the difference is eye opening...
