Tank Going All Out.....again!

Day 33
Legz n Dedz n Stuff
On the advice of those wiser and because I was having serious joint pain, I cut down on the weights and upped the reps. Felt like a great rehab session. Everything for 15s except calves which I did for endless reps.

Did
Leg curlz
Leg extensions
Straight leg dedz
Conventional dedz
Bent rows
Skwaatz - for 5s
And a bunch of calf work

Sitting here staring at my first food of the day - looks delicious but I have zero appetite....this is HILARIOUS to me....has never happened before! If this keeps up, it might actually turn into a successful cut...imagine that! Lol. RADIATE officially works!

Stay safe and have a great weekend all y'all!
Cheers

Great workout Tank! When's the next weigh in??
Click to expand...

Thanks! Don't want to mess with my head - I'm feeling solid, working hard, and eating right....so I'll probably weigh in again a few days after my planned refeed next week.
 
One other person and I were the only ones to not have any real appetite suppression. Stupid metabolism....lol
 
As long as the mirror is reflecting better than it did before, you are doing well!
 
Just as as a side note:
My joints have gotten MUCH better - like night and day difference. I upped the sup3r dhea and started applying it to a better area: my lower neck and traps/delts. It's made so much difference.

I don't know how often I'll be logging this week - I'm gonna be traveling for work. Except for a planned refeed, I planfully to stick to the "program". However gym time is not always an option, but I got my pushups, isometrics, and bands - which combined can give me a decent enough workout.

Cheers
 
Be safe during your travels!
 
Day 36 - 247.3lbs (ocd kicked in HAD TO weigh myself ;))
Feeling good. Still on track. Not sure when I'll have access to a gym this week, so I doubled up on the work. Instead of just chest, I added delts and tris. All hi rep hi set decent weight. Very solid session. Really had to push when I got to tris, but I did it.
PecDec
Hammer chest
Hammer delts
Shoulder bb presses
Db side raises
Overhead bb and cable extensions
V bar press downs
All super annoyingly slow
Was enough

Cheers
 
Day 37
Got to the gym today against all odds....
Did back, bis, and forearms. Changed up the exercises a tad, but worked everything thoroughly and got me a great pump. Someone told me that my arms looked beastly - I cracked up but couldn't explain why....;)
Diet still on point.....refeed tomorrow....not real excited, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

As a Former Fat Guy, I can appreciate your concern, but enjoy that refeed man. You earned it!! You've worked hard to get where you're at, so you know you're not gonna go back to the old Tank habits just with one meal.
 
Day 43 - i wil not weigh myself, sam i am
So I finally made it back to the gym today - it was a joy joy! Did chest and delts - I'm probably gonna havta miss another day this week so I got both in while I could. Did everything for 6x10. Felt strong!
Did:
PecDec
Hammer decline
Bb delt press - back and front
Hammer delt press
Machine chest press
Delt raises

Felt great!

As prescribed by the wise ones, I did a refeed/carb up/ cheat last week. For 2 days....:/ Lessons learned: on keto I eat until I'm not hungry; checking macros but not counting calories till done. It gets me between 1600 and 2400 calories - which is way below maintenance for me. On a carb up you can't do that! I ended up with a massive caloric surplus and super bloated. Thankfully, 4 days later the bloat is gone mostly. Also, 1-2 meals is enough; not 2 days!

Nice W/O my man. I like them Hammer Declines, easy on my bad shoulder.
 
Day 44
Solid back/trapz day
Tried a machine for the first time - lower back extension machine. Felt like working my lower back a bit, but I do straight leg dedz with legz. This machine isn't half bad...goes up to about 300lbs and give you a workout without straining anything else.

Hammer shrugs
Hammer rows
Hammer pull downs
Cable pull downs
Fatty pull ups
Lower back machine
Bent rows
Everything 5-6 x10

Did bb curls
Hammer single and 2 arm curls
Close grip machine press
Overhead ext
V bar press downs
Forearm curls
Reverse curls
Rope curls

Couldn't eat a thing. Appetite squashed by rxs Radiate....gonna force myself to have some chicken later.....very wierd feeling....

Cheers

Did
Endless sets of leg extensions
and leg curls
Straight leg dedz
Rack pulls

Cheers

Hammer delts
Delt presses
Delt side raises

Tri rope push downs

Coulda/shoulda probably left the osta out....I'm feeling like a combo of the results of my 1/epi run and my lgd run....which interestingly enough is what I'm taking! Lol
I added 10 lbs a side on my hammer declines today jff and repped out for an easy 15....something's working!
 
Day 57 - 247lbs
So the scale hasn't budged in a while - which ain't half bad....clothes are fitting noticeably better, and muscle and veins are poppin!

Had a great workout today - back, bis, and forearms. Medium weights, but all for slooooow sets of 15.
Did:
Hammer rows
Hammer hi rows
Hammer shrugs
Fatty pull ups
Hammer precherz
Rope curlz
Reverse curlz
Forearm curlz

Had to remember to drink tons more. Drank a gallon in the gym and sweated it all out!

Feel good. Gonna have a super omelette....

Cheers
 
Day 58
For some reason the only body part not sore today was chest, so that's what I worked. I'm thinking of doing a recovery day tomorrow as EVERYTHING is sore now - the good kind; like after a good workout. Even legs which I haven't even done in a while.

Did:
Hammer decline
Hammer incline
Wide machine press
PecDec
Everything 6x15 slow and controlled. I'm really liking the 15s

Ended with 1 set of pushups.

Have zero appetite. Literally. Not even gonna try to force food down. Just going to do another shake with coconut oil. I've been trying to get my macros from solid food, but on a day I take Radiate, it's almost impossible. Hilarious!

Cheers
 
I just found most of a bottle of lgd in my stash. I'm thinking of adding another cap (5mg) pwo for the next 4 weeks.
I'm putting up with some lethargy anyway, so I'm thinking I might as well push it....
 
Day 60 - 246 lbs
Yeah, down a lb. My kool scale says it's fat so I'm g2g.

Did lats and biceps and some forearms. Very annoying and painful workout - quick positive movements and super sloooow negatives. On everything. Insane!

Did
Pull downs - front and back
Fatty pull ups and hangz
Hammer hi rows
DB hammer curls
DB precher curls- endless and painful

Gonna have another whey/ coconut oil shake....maybe some solid food a little later...

2 days in to an extra 5mg lgd. I don't care what people say - you feel the difference right away.....

Cheers
 
Day 61
Had a solid one today - had to do things a little differently; VERY crowded gym. Funniest/saddest thing I saw today: dude hasn't been to gym in over 6 months. Says he found the secret to getting into shape in 4 weeks: GVT! I ask him innocently what that is....he says 10 sets of 15 reps of each exercise. 6 exercises......after not working out in over half a year. I said nothing. Just watched him quit after 3 sets. Sad. Funny but sad.

I did 6-8x10s of each exercise; pyramiding up and down, but at least 3 sets at the top. Delts and tris
Did:
Front and back delt presses
Machine delt presses
Cable oh ext
V bar press downs
Close grip incline press
Waist hi pull oh ext

And done.
Gonna have a "cheat" meal today....just a little higher on the carbs and cals. No garbage, just more good stuff.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Cheers

I think every gym has one of those guys! lol
 
I know I asked you before tank, but what are your thoughts on your stack? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing next.

I love lgd and epi andro. Sup3r dhea keeps the lethargy manageable. I totally forgot why I'm taking 1andro, but I musta had a reason! ;)
I dropped the osta. I'm thinking the osta was using pathways that could be better used by the lgd. Does that make sense?
Anyhow, lgd always does me good....I'm significantly stronger - which isn't easy at my age. And last time I held on to an appreciable amount of gained strength afterward. So here's hoping.

Didn't say anything about GVT. Commenting on the guy that has not worked out for 1/2 a year thinking he was going to get through a GVT session first day back. If he did get through it he would be so sore he wouldn't be able to wipe his ass.

Ahhh yea sorry punctuation made me sound like I was clowning. No I was agreeing with you can't even sit down on the ****ter when it's all said and done.
 
I have my months of gvt. But as the studly one says, you can't just start cold on gvt. Gotta ease unto it.
Back in the day we'd do a smolov type squat program once in a while. There was always some newbie genius who could barely do 95lbs who'd wanna work the program with us. Sure. Go right ahead. Have fun.
 
Day 64
Now I KNOW dis shizz is legit! I was all happy when I squeezed out 15s with my heavier set a few weeks ago. Well today I did an easy 20 reps on every heavy set!
Ez pz, lemon squeazy! Lmbfao!
Extremely enjoyable feeling - makes all the lethargy and hard work feel worth it.

Shortish session but solid
Hammer shrugs
Hammer rows
Hammer lo rows

Hammer Precherz
Cable curlz

About 8-10 sets each for 20 reps on the heavy sets
Pyramided up and down on the curlz.

Cheers

The other part is that fool HAD NO IDEA WHAT GVT IS!!!! 10 sets of 15 on 6 exercises WTF??? 10 sets of 10 on 2 exercises in a modified superset fashion, and 3 sets of 10 2 accessory lifts while using the 4-0-1-0 tempo... What is that 6 exercises and 15 reps nonsense... Not saying that won't work but it is far from GVT!

The only reason to use GVT coming back in is if you are coming off an injury and it is highly important that you keep the weights down while your joints are healing and even then the DOMS will be BRUTAL!!!!!!!!
 
Day 66
Just chesticles today. Did Hammer declines for heavier weight than I even remember doing even as a ute; and I squoze out 10 solid reps. Alternated between 10s, 15s, and 20s on all exercises. Tried to get in at least 100 reps per.

Did
Hammer decline 10x10
PecDec
Machine flat press
Hammer incline

And dats it.
Gonna take an off day tomorrow, then hopefully come back with some more back, forearms, and bis.

Cheers
 
Day 67
Lats n bis n forearms....yup; 2nd time this week, but differently.

Heavy pull down super slow negatives. 8x5
Extremely painful but it works for me. It's the only low rep stuff I do at this juncture.
Coulda almost gone home after that.
Did fatty pull ups for 15s
DB curls for 10s
Hammer precherz single arm for 10-15s
Rope hammer curls for 10s
Reverse curls and forearm curls for 10-15

I've been eating on point so I'm not weighing myself....can never make sense of it really. My pants are loose. My musculeos and veins are popping. I actually might have seen an ab! So who care about a number on a scale!........well, I do, but ya get it.....
