STANKYLEG'S BIG, STANKY TESTOPRO LOG (3 MONTHS AND YES, IT'S SPONSORED

Well, my pencil broke after my first set. I didnt wanna go sharpen it because I was affraid some douche would set the squat rack up for a banging set of curls while I was gone. I'll do my best to pull it from memory. My workout was awesome considering my sleep deprivation from Wednesday night. I had just under 5 hours sleep. Normally it hits me hard for a couple days to do that. It was way better this time around.

Day 22
Great back and bi workout tonight. I had to switch the order this week to put legs on wednesday. I'm doing a 15 mile backpacking trip on saturday and sunday and didnt want DOMS as I trek through the wilderness with 20lbs of gear and a compound bow on my back. I had to go to the gym right at 5pm. I know that monday at 5pm is nation bench press time so I went for back and bi's, Legs will be wednesday, and chest shoulders and tri's on friday.

I finished up with 11 minutes of intervals on the cardio row machine. 2 minutes normal pace, one minute busting @ss. Great freakin work out.
I'll do Ab work in the morning with 1 minute intervals of the powerline ab wheel and 1 minute jumping rope. 20 minutes total. This will be done at least 3 times per week from this point on.
 
Im going to start doing a couple sets of each body part in the 3-5 rep range for strength. The theory is as strength increases, the weight I can use to train in hypertrophy will increase resulting in growth. We'll see
 
How do you plan on doing this new set routine? Do you mean that for one or two exercises (per body part) you'll change up rep scheme, but on the others you'll still do your regular rep routine? I'm just curious.
 
Basically just like ive been doing with the exception of bumping my weight for two sets. Bumping it to the 3-5rm range. Thats what I hear people refer to as the strength range. My theory is if I increase my strength I can lift more weight in the 8-12 range. It works in my mind. Sometimes thats as far as my theories go. ;)

I use the same philosophy. I switch my routine regularly as I will go 4-5 rep range to build strength then switch over to a 8-10 rep range for hypertrophy. I also will go to 12-15 rep range for muscular endurance as well. I am very excited to be repping 225 bench for sets of 12!

its true. Train in the 1-3 rep range for 2-4 weeks and go back to 6-12 and youll see a strength increase

1-5 reps strength
6-12 the most hypertrophy
over 13 endurance

I only do strength training, if I feel my injuries are okay with doing this.
 
Leg workout tonight. I completely forgot my log book. Sorry guys. I did hit natural PR's on squats and deads. They're not setting any records or turning heads, but they're good for my old @ss. My knee started feeling squirelly in the 4th and 5th sets so I stopped there and did 3 sets of leg extensions. Squat pr was 275 for 5 reps and 245 for 6 on stiffleg deads. I'm digging it. The right diet, style of lifting for your muscle composition plus the hormonal environment you can create with Testopro will generate great natural gains. If you are looking for "steroid-like gains," buy steroids and deal with the side effects. If consistent and safe progress is more your speed, I recommend you look into testopro

Great to hear this! For a minute there, I thought you were having second thoughts about TestoPRO. It's not uncommon for guys to not feel anything from it for the first 7-14 days. Ten days seems to be the launch period for most, though.
 
No second thoughts my man. Great stuff. I had to alter my leg workout due to knee pain from my last leg workout. I did 10 supersets of lunges at 20-15 reps with various db weights ranging from the 35's down to the 15's, by the end, and 15 reps of ab wheels. I followed up with 6 sets of 20+ reps on the leg press with 180. Finished weight training with straight and seated calf raises in the 20-25 reps to failure range. I only did 10 minutes of 30/30 HIIT on the cardio row tonight. Well being is good. Aggression seems to be a bit higher at work. Chest is next. I think, after proper warm up, I'm going to try to press the 100's this week. We'll see how i feel.
 
Chest kicked my butt. I tried r-ala preworkout and im not sure I timed it right. My endurance was puny. I think I need to take it earlier than one hr pre wo.

Thanks bro. It felt weak. Im gonna use the r-ala earlier next time. Maybe rala 1.5 hours preworkout. Carbs an hour pre. And preworkout plus bcaa's 30 minutes.

Pumps are slammin. Vascularity is stronger. Libido and confidence are top shelf. BF seems to be hanging at 15%. I havent checked it in about a week. My knees still feel sub par. I've started jogging some. 30 seconds fast walk, 30 seconds fast jog. the feeling in my knees makes me fearful of going heavy on squats. They started acting up during my 5rep max set 2 weeks ago and havent really bounced back. This weeks leg workout will most likely consist of 15 sets of 15 reps lunges with a 22 rep max weight. My quads seem to respond better to higher reps anyway so this should be fine. If my knees cool down I'll hit a couple heavy sets here and there, but nothing is worth screwing myself up. Everthing looks good. Optimism abounds.
 
Awesome, TWO new PRs in one workout!

Sorry to hear about your knees. I've never had knee problems until a couple of months ago. Hopefully your legs feel a little better next week.
 
Thanks bro. I was pretty stoked. Im gonna try a cissus product soon. I hope that sets me straight.
 
Knees hurt like a b!tch tonight. I had to abort the plan of lunges and do leg presses to 90 degrees with 270lb It was really a great workout after I figured out the pain free zone. I used the concept of breathing squats. I did sets of 30, then moved to 20. If i failed at 17, I held the weight up, took a couple breathes and di another rep or 2. I paused as many times as it took to hit 20 reps. I did 5 sets of 30 then 10 sets of 20 in this fashion. My interval timer would beep every 2 minutes. This is when I would start a new set. This usually gave me 80 seconds to rest between sets. I also did 5 sets of 20 reps, straight leg deads. Then I did 6 sets of calf raises. All sets were performed on the interval timer at 2 minute intervals. Finished it off with hiit cardio row on 30/30 intervals. Great workout despite my knees. My cissus should be here monday. Great.
 
Have you used Cissus in the past? I used a lot of it when it first came out and really liked it. I might need to look into picking some up, again.

Right on bro.

I actually did good old fashioned bench press yesterday. Its been over a year, maybe two, since I've pressed a barbell. Its interesting how sore I get from it. I always think of it as inferior to db presses because of its restricted range of motion. Well, its not. What's inferior, in this case, is my brain. I learn daily.

Have to find out what works for you without injuring yourself.... no sense pushing through it only to hurt yourself further.
 
Joints feel great now. Cissus is all its cracked up to be. Looking forward to a testopro inspired, cissus lubed back workout tonight.
 
LOL. It has been so long since I've used it, but I want to say that I had to cycle on and off of Cissus due to building up a tolerance.
 
OK. So I'm waiting for someone to start accusing me of lying at this point. I hit 2 more pr's tonight. I was using wrist straps tonight and I wasnt in previous weeks, but what the hell. I did it. This style of training is working well for the time being. Real well.

These longer TestoPRO logs are proving to have been a great idea. You have Crowler to thank for that!
 
Libido is crazy high today. Random wood at work=not cool.
 
Pretty good workout tonight. I would call it great but I couldnt hit it as hard as I want because of my knees. I had to make it intense with TUT. I spent the second half of my time in the gym trying not to barf because of it.
Before I left for the gym I asked Jesus if he would clear the only squat rack at my gym of all fools doing curls. He hooked me up. I walked in and started warming up. I got my girlfriend, who is an Occupational Therapist to watch my ROM on a couple sets to make sure I wasnt stressing all those d@mn bands in my knee. She's an awesome gal regardless of whether she watches my form or not, but this helped. I wanted to stay in the pain free zone. Once you cross over into it, a lot of times, you dont come back for a couple days no matter what ya do. I didnt wanna take a dump on the whole WO. Well, enough manic rambling.

If you've never used an interval timer for your weight training sessions, I highly recommend it. I'm not fitness, body building or strength training guru. But it helps me keep the pace and intensity going throughout the workout. I usually set mine on a 2 minute interval. It starts. I do my set. then I have the remainder of the 2 minutes to rest. This is usually in the 90 second range. It's working well right now. It works well for cutting too because it keeps you pushing the pace. Their are tons of free smartphone apps available if you're interested in trying it.
 
Upper body pressing movements this morning. I usually dont workout in the mornings. When I lift early I am considerably weaker and my workouts lack "punch." I didnt go for any PR's today. I workout at the Y and the only people that couldve spotted me today were in their 70's. Sex drive is still real solid. Morning wood is an everyday thing. I have random wood up until about 2pm every day. I'm 35 years old. This isnt supposed to happen.

Really? That will suck, I use Cissus powder, if I don't use it for a week or so I start to get major joint pain. The worst part of Cissus is how long it takes to get into your system fully. You don't see full effect til a little over a week!

Great work out!
 
I had to put off back and bi's until tomorrow. I had my daughter the last couple days. I did do 20 minutes of intervals yesterday morning. No real training of any kind today. Perfect weather where I live the last few days. Great times. A real post tomorrow, wed, and fri or sat.

The perfect weather has made it hard to want to be in the gym. I've been wanting to go to the track and run more and more.
