Thanks Brother!
Thanks Hyde, I am going to keep working and see what I can come up with. My biceps are appreciating not being abused right now and my muscles are still getting destroyed in the process. Gotta love it!
Thanks edje007 - the Multiquote stopped here...
You can tell by the single long stemmed rose...
I had a great workout today.
Incline DB Bench - 60x10 x10 sets was hard but I finished them time to go up.
Incline Prone Rows - 60x10 x7 set then x7+2p, 8, 7 was hard will stick with this weight for sure.
Cable Crossovers - 70x12, 10, 8 +2p - this was a beast I will stick with this weight.
Wide Grip Machine Rows 115x12, 130x10, 10 - great pump definitely go up to at least 145.

Thanks Big Dan! Well should I say Lean Dan you still under 190?
Thanks man, yeah really working the time under tension right now. My biceps can't take a ton of weight and I really have to be careful to pull through the elbows on back movements. That's why I went with the GVT.
Thanks I am having fun with it right now for sure.
Thanks It feels great to be lean man. I can't wait to get down where everything is tight and the fat pockets under my chest are gone. It will be a little bit longer thought right now we are working on increasing cals with out gaining much fat if any.
Okay yesterday was a great leg day on GVT. Definitely Improved on the Leg Press Numbers as expected but could have done more which is nice to know.
Modified Super Set done Ex. 1 45 seconds rest > Ex.2 45 seconds rest > Ex.1 45 seconds rest and so on through all ten sets of both exercises.
Tempo 4-0-2
Adductor Warm Up 70x25
Lying Leg Curls - 70x10 x10 - These were nice but it was really hard t tell if my left leg was getting worked enough so I will do the single leg from last week from now on.
Leg Press - 550x10 x10 the last couple sets were getting very challenging but I need to move up again.
Super Set 2
Leg Extension 150x12, 170x10, 190x10 - These really had me burning I added a 1-2 second hold at peak contraction to really get the burn!
Calve Raise Sled - 270x15 x 3 sets last one was burning from about the 5th rep on. I was also holding for 1-2 seconds in the stretched position here. Major Pumps!

haha! you matched my leg press #'s for my 10's sets yesterday. i'll be moving up as well on all sets this coming week for leg press. hows that liquid tren ph treating you? id imagine quite well if your hitting all your sets on gvt... lmao.
MrKleen73

superbeast668 It is treating me nicely so far. I moved my cheat meal to Friday because we were really busy and pizza was all we had time for on the go. Well with that and my high day schedules with training it got to be several high and moderate carb days in a row so I am very full. I am thinking at least 205-206 maybe more. I look good too just a tiny bit smoother but big as hell so the Tren Dev is putting the carbs into all the right places. Shoulders taking up a lot of space, so are my legs. Strength is coming up and I am really enjoying it. Tren-Somnia seems to be getting a little better. Of course I am using the OG G8 now.
So far the insomnia and a bump in BP have been the only sides and the bump in BP is being handled by 81mg enteric coated aspirin. Vascularity has defnitely improved. Not only my forearms but my quads are getting more vascular I can even see the veins through the hair.

Oh by the way looking in the mirror this morning I got my whoosh and any water I was holding seems to have come off. Today I have the option of an off day or doing conditioning. I did one on Tuesday which really should have been a day off. I may just rest a bit today. If not I will hit up some type of conditioning drills. Today I have lunch date with the wife. I think I may see if she wants chipotle. A nice chicken burrito bowl with double meat, black beans, a little cilantro rice and some fresh guacamole sounds amazing to me and it is mid 70's today so will be nice for a walk.

Nice on the Olympus log op!!!!
Will be over to your log in a minute Jeff!
Sorry about everyone who is complaining of being too cold. I broke a sweat walking 5 blocks to my wifes work last night because the sun was kicking down hard so it felt hotter than 75. Just saying...
So I somehow hit one of the buttons on my alarm clock that turns the alarm of so that it doesn't even go off. So unfortunately this morning I slept all the way through to 6:45 which is way late for me. Thank goodness I needed to pee or I would have been late to work. Anyway point is that I missed working arms this morning but I am going to go in tonight and crush arms. I have had about 100 of the 255g of carbs i can take in on a high day. So I will have plenty fuel for the workout.
Oh by the way I got the go ahead to increase cals even more this week since I only gained .2 lbs this week over last and am leaner. SO I am getting a recomp effect right now. I can deal with that and honestly my ability to assimilate calories is astonishing me. I thought we would have had to slow down already but I am utilizing everything I get to eat so we make another decent jump in calories this week. Basically I am adding 190 calories per day by increasing fats and carbs only.

@ the video of you lifting -- WHAA? Seriously, who lifts like that? The amount of pain would be too much for me. I like to have fun in the gym too lol. Using some pretty good weight too, which is surprising. Most people who lift like that usually don't do so well in the weight department.
MrKleen73
Legend
HaHa Thanks! Yes it is painful to a degree but the endorphin release is pretty awesome. I am nursing a troublesome biceps so the slow tempo allows me to crush the muscle without worrying about rupturing anything. Definitely not ego lifting but what it does for the physique provides my ego with plenty nourishment!
I don't always train like this, I do go heavy in the lower hypertrophic rep ranges, or work out super high intensity and very low volume but this program I save for when I am injured or when I really want to see some added size. It is indeed brutal but that is probably part of why I like it.

So last night ended up being an impromtu night alone with the wife. Obviously I am not foolish enough to tell her I am going to the gym when we just got some alone time. So I told her I would not eat any more carbs yesterday and just move the lift day to today. I will go to the gym here in a couple hours maybe try and video a couple sets again or something. Hell I may just opt to workout in the home gym it feels pretty good outside and I have a dip attachment on my power rack. I could do 10x10 ez curls and 10x10 BW dips then maybe some DB Hammers and EZ Bar Skull Crushers. I think that might just be exactly what I do if it doesn't start raining before I lift. I like to keep the doors open. It rained a little already but it kind of looks like it may be cooking the clouds off now.

Okay so here is my workout from yesterday from set 4 of GVT on. Forgive the first couple minutes I do turn the radio down. There is a lot of talking during and between sets to give the impressions of how the workout itself went. I truncated the sets to save time talk about an editing job!
However if you only want to see the commentary then the first few sets I talk during then just look for me to sit on the bench that is when I am talking most of the time. Right about 13:30 I sit down and give a synopsis of how things are going and what has transpired with nutrition.
I do a lot of flexing and a summary towards the end because I am pumped and stoked as hell. Had to laugh that my triceps would not even move at the end.... I may make a separate one but if you want to watch the workout and my commentary then you can be my video workout buddy just like I am talking to you...
If any of you want to watch it check this link. Since I am talking about another forum I wont embed it here but you guys may enjoy the workout and commentary.

I am going to go to the gym here shortly to work chest and back rowing. Will probably opt for HS Incline and HS Rows of some sort on my 10x10 see if that helps the biceps at all.

Okay so for a quick update last night was a big refeed. I think I got in about 500 grams of carbs yesterday surprisingly my body assimilated all of it. I will say that about 20 minutes before my free meal I opted to take an extra 1/2 dose of Tren Devastation. Just to make sure the food was going to get sucked up into the muscles. It was pretty nice and like I said I woke up looking pretty lean in the morning. You have to understand when I say pretty lean I am not really leaning up much at all right now. We are working on my metabolism which right now even my moderate day is 2-300 over my average intake and considering I get 80 more grams of carbs on high days my average intake is quite a bit above what I used to eat even when bulking.
Tonight is going to be a leg workout. I am not 100% sure if I will go to the gym or try to squat in the garage. If I go to the gym I can pretty much tell you that I wont be able to superset my main exercises on legs. On a good bit of news I seem to have been noticing a lot more stability in my adductors / groin and feeling I may even be able to add some Deads back into the fray but definitely not on a 10x10. Maybe as a secondary lift to hit hamstrings more.
Very interesting little video of Tom Platz putting John Meadows through some punishment on the Hack Qsuats. These look like weighted Sissy Squats, if you have never done them they can crush you without weight. However these look awesome and I think I may have to try these as a main exercise at least once during the GVT action.

So leaving in a rush I forgot my food and protein powder at home today. Horrible but can work around that. Then I find out I have a mandatory training class for 3 hours in the middle of the day when I should be on lunch. So I mixed some aminos and had 2 rice cakes and an ounce of almonds and waited for 3:00. Once I got off the webinar I went and got myself 1lb of turkey breast I ate 8 oz of it and was going to have the other 8 oz about 4:30 but got really busy and couldn't get to it. So here I am 175g short on protein, 80 on carbs and 30g of fats... Not gonna be able to make that up so now I am flipping today's leg day & tomorrow's off day which lowers macros & leaves me only making up protein, fat and very little carbs.
I will do legs tomorrow which will be good as I can also have a high carb day too which is better on leg days in my opinion. Heck I may even give the hacks a shot like here with the heels up and legs further under me. Well if I can on the one at our gym. Looks like he is standing on a box too...

Onto this morning.
Leg Day GVT Baby!
Tempo as usual 4-0-2 and same modified supersets on the main lifts with 45 second rest between exercises.
Leg Press 640x10 x10 sets. - Remember last week I said I would be moving up well I sure did. I jumped 90 lbs this week. I thought it may be too much especially by the end of the 3rd set when everything just started to get extremely hard. I used varying foot placements throughout the 10 sets. I honestly though there was no way I was going to finish. I was already feeling very puke-ish by the 6th set and was dripping sweat. Between sets 8-9-10 I almost puked and fought it back.
Single Leg Standing Leg curls - 45x10, 10 sets - I noticed my left leg seemed to have caught up a bit with my right leg on the curls which is good. It means the nerves are firing better there.
I finished set 10 of the leg press and stood up for a second and had to do the Frankenstein Dash to the locker room to throw up. Man things got violent in there... was pretty rough. When I was done I went out to pick up my stuff and decided screw that I am finishing my workout so I did my leg extensions and my calves before I left.
Leg Extension - 170x10, 190x8, 170x7 - man these were brutal, my quads were already so jacked and pumped that this was like adding gas to a flame!
Calve Raise Sled 290x15 x 3 sets got a really nice burn here. Calves filled up like balloons
