Turff49 Quest for Success

I like that idea too. Worked well for me.

Until I never stopped bumping... Lol
 
If you remember I did this back several months ago on my last cycle. Had to bump up to 3700 just to keep from losing weight...
 
One of my favorite days - SHOULDERS

Had to break out the jacket and put some sweats on this morning. 23 degrees when I left for the gym.

HS OHP
90 x 15
180 x 10
230 x 10

270 x 2 PR now granted, they were more like 2 singles as I struggled on these a little but they were still good enough to count!!

Destroyers - all done together as one complete superset. Set the bench up right next to the DB rack for easy access for them.

I wouldn't be able to lift my arms either! Lol

Nice on the PR! If they went up, they count, doesn't matter how long it takes lol Those are the only ones that count..

Powerful Turff. You're a rowing machine.
 
I swear Turff, you get stronger every week!!! Your numbers are just crazy!!
 
Yeah, I think I'm hitting my max on some of these lifts until I add more size. My body weight is increasing some so that helps with the strength gains. I also think going moderate weight with higher reps every other week has helped tremendously. I still have a ways to go on my benching to get to where I was prior to all my back issues. I'll just keep plugging away at it though and see where my journey takes me!

Thanks.
Don't have a choice, all the leaves fell off the trees the past couple weeks and the gutters are full. Suppose to have heavy down pours tomorrow. Like those rain events you get in Florida...

Come on now, you've had those days where you were just in the zone...
When I finished the gutters and sat down is when I started feeling it...hoping I feel good tomorrow as its chest day.

We were pounded with rain throughout the game and most of the 3 hour ride home. Another round is supposed to hit tomorrow too.

Good news is I'm hunting Monday through Thursday, and the deer aren't out and about feeding during heavy rains.
 
Wonderful wet CHEST day

I'm glad heavy week is over and tomorrow is rest day. I'm beat. Legs felt good today so that is a plus. Chest is really feeling it though...

Rainy day so I think I'll just lay around the house.

There was a chick in the gym this morning that was strong as fuark. Pretty decent form with 80lb straight bar curls for reps. Her form on the 90 wasn't as good with a lot of body swing. But, I understood why she was swinging them(90) because she was doing a slow negative on them. I was impressed. She is starting to get pretty good definition too. No fat on her and looked pretty young early 20's probably. I talked to her briefly and told her it was impressive.
 
Fuarking heavy inclines! Hey, focus on the lifting and not on the lifting chick! LMAO.

Yeah, did I mention the yoga pants with camel toe... Kind of what really got my attention!
 
Strong pullovers Turff. I might would have one or two 100's in me, if that.

Lol. Perv.

You made up the form part just to pretend you were looking at her lift, didn't you?
 
Insane lifting Turff! That leg day made my legs cramp up just reading it!!

Rofl! ....80/90lbs!! Wow! She's strong!!!
 
Yeah, she was really doing the 80's and 90's which is what made me look. The other was just, well, there. I'm an alpha male so I notice these things...lol

I am anxious to see how far I can push myself strength wise at my age. My joints are feeling great. Very minimal shoulder or elbow issues.
 
Finally, lite week! ARMS

Didn't sleep well for some reason. Power went out 3 times. Felt like I slept on a rock. Good thing is it's lite week.

Had a great pump going on when I left!

Weight this morning was at 197. That's a 8-9lb increase in about 2 weeks. Cals are at 2900-3100 right now. And aren't quite as visible as they were during my cut but my 33 waist jeans still are a little loose in the waist. My XL shirts are tight in the shoulders and arms though so that's a good sign! I'll increase cals a little more through the week and then taper back off Sunday. Add in some additional cardio next week just so I keep everything in check while I'm bulking and keep my bf in the 11-12% range(up from my 8.5% I dropped to during my cut on Clen). I'm really happy with how everything is progressing!
 
Rest in peace my friend

Your "light" arm day still looks pretty heavy to me!! Lol

So sorry to hear about Snags!! He was a great man! :(
 
Shoulder day

Got to the gym a little late today. Kept things down to a moderate weight for me. Actually have some of those "back pumps" going on. I ran out of Taurine a few days ago and my shipment hasn't come in yet. Trip to the Vitamin Shoppe is in order as soon as they open up...

HS OHP
90 x 20
180 x 12
230 x 8 - drop sets from here

15 x 12 / 15 x 12
25 x 10 / 25 x 10
These were brutal. Didn't want to use the 25's but a guy was bogarting the 20's! It affected my destroyers though...

Destroyers no rest
45 x 15
40 x 15
35 x 15
30 x 15
25 x 15

And that was it. The back pumps were becoming unbearable...

Cals yesterday were at 3100. Lots of turkey for dinner last night...a whole pound...plus a big ole piece of stuffing/dressing about 2 cups worth.
Weight is at 198 today. Bulk is in full effect!
 
Back Pumps, My worst side ever...

Nice session though brotha!

Shoulder Press is looking nice, drop sets for the win!

Thanks man! 270 is my PR right now. Shooting for 300. One of these days I'll have to see what that equates to on the barbell. I've hit 225 with the barbell back a couple years ago. The HS doesn't tweak my shoulders like the barbell though and I can get deeper movement with the HS.
Yeah, I ran my mouth the other day about not getting back pumps. I'll learn to keep my mouth shut lol!!

Lmao Yea, back pumps suck man.. There so annoying and frustrating lol

I'll have to see what I can max on H.S tonight, 270-300lb is still a lot.. If it feels better and more natural than a BB, keep using it..
 
It's not what I'm taking but what I ran out of. My body uses up Taurine and I have to supplement it or I get cramps and back pumps.
As for what I'm taking: Test E 2x a week and Tbol at 50mg per day.
Next week I'll start 3-MHD, drop the Tbol as I will finish it Friday, and stay at 500 on Test E.
The Tbol was just a 4 week run.
Once I do a 4-6 week run with the 3-MHD then I'll cut with Clen, proviron, and Winny. All while still on Test E. That'll complete a 20 week run and at that point I'll decide whether to pct or drop Test E to 250 and cruise for 6 weeks prior to doing another blast.
