Blast: Trestolone Acetate + Testosterone + Superdrol + LGD / Hairygrandpa blowing up!

hairygrandpa said:
The info about LGD is awesome! So, if I run a Test+LGD cycle, I can expect higher aromatization, good to know! Welcome to my log!

Thank's.
Year's ago the simple way to stack was pick an anabolic and pick an androgen.

LGD is pretty much purely anabolic to the skeletal and muscle system.
Test is is a solid androgen without 19nor sides, should make it easier to get estro where you want it.

If you can do 375x10 you can go higher than you think. If you spent a while doing lower rep work you'd hit 500 in no time i bet. You're wearing yourself out with the heavy weight high rep work. I never go over 5 reps above 315. Ill do 5's up in the 400's. My most recent best pull is 545

Yeah tbh I’d agree you’ve got a higher 1rm than you think. I pulled 495 for one recently and 375 for 10 is maximal for me.....

Hmmm...good to know. Up until recently I was doing 3-8 reps for deads. The most I ever pulled was 425 x 5 and I could probably do about 475 at that point for 1.

Thing is, it seems that lifting like that I make good progress fast and then hit a wall and lose a bunch of strength. About 5-6 months ago I started doing 2 sets per exercise. I go for 15 reps on the first set, increase the weight and go for 5 reps on the second set. Thus has led to some slow but steady progress. I actually hit 365 for 15 but when I jumped to 375 I lost a bunch of reps...dropped to 6-7. Over the last 3 weeks I have been adding about a rep per week. But on the second set...I am toast and 405 or 415 ...doesnt matter...can only get 1 rep after that.

My goal is to slowly build to 400 x 15. It isn't the normal way people go about things...but that never really bothers me.
 
Rotate your efforts. Doing the same thing week in and week out with little variation is a great way to stall out

Heck even start with the big set of 5 and finish up with the set of 15 for 3-4 weeks, that will put more focus on the strength portion, and make you push harder for that strength endurance on the second set since you will be fatigued.

Lifting heavy first also potentiates the downset: if you hit a single at 85% prior to an AMRAP at say, 70%, it’s a studied fact that you will be able to lift more than going straight to the rep set.

Yep this ^^^ - I’ll often hit a back off set on squats at a weight that felt heavy AF when I worked up but suddenly is nothing on my back coming down.

Thanks guys. I agree with you - and I will return to that. Honestly, THIS is the change for me over the past 6 months or so. I don't normally do this - but have been experimenting with it over the past maybe 6 months. I'm still seeing progress - albeit very very slowly.

Soon I will probably change back to fewer reps and heavier - but ...honestly it's hard to do while I'm still seeing progress even if it is slow. But it's been on my mind for about a month now. And seeing if I could pull closer to 500 now is intriguing.

If you are making progress very slowly then it is time for a change. No reason to ride this to a full on stall.
 
You need to do sumo rackpulls from just below the knee, have reverse bands hanging from the top of the power rack, chains from the floor, wearing a bench shirt performing a reverse pyramid rep scheme EMOM while listening to Bieber. It’s the only way forward from here.

Well...1 rep increases on an exercise regularly each.5-7 days seems pretty slow but still good to me. Plus, my life sucks for working out and eating right now...not really bulking or cutting, just doing. I am also slooowly losing some weight to get back down to where I should be.

Plus I am making excuses. ****. I am soft

Wait...what if I already listen to Biebs when deadlifting?

I mean...can you think of any music that would make you angrier?
 
Gym

Pull ups / SS / elevated push ups
Push ups were with handles and feet on an equipment support that was higher than a normal bank, a bit over knee height.
Did all pull ups, no chin ups as planed. chinup day is Wednesday and with weight belt.

Push x13

16 sets pull ups + 16 sets elevated push ups
Regular pull ups were aggravating pain in my right elbow, that explains the lower rep range when comparing with neutral grip pull ups. The weird thing is, now after the workout, the elbow feels better, he needed a beating apparently.

Korean chick trained with a Korean dude today, had no chance to take a sneaky pic.

Just remember had you woke up sooner. You could be free, after I left the key under your piss pad for you. You had your chance. I honestly think you like it there.

Nice, what’s making you want to do IF rather then 3-6 meals a day? Honestly if it works I can see the convenience of the diet, I’d do it but I’m sure my dump would kill me ?.
 
A one hour eating window, that"s keen. So much food.
Looking forward to seeing how this goes. IF is great but I've never done it while training let alone on-cycle.
No way could I eat in that state in under a four hour window.

Good luck.

Its a individual choice. I figured that I have no appetite during daytime -and raided always the fridge at night. Since I train late (8.30pm -10pm) it really is a good choice for me to do it this way.
The 1 hour window is a new approach, before I had a 2-3 hour window. I want to win the transformation challenge, hence I'm TRYING to keep an 1 hour window.

Makes sense to try and see if it works especially if it's so close to your lifestyle.
Good Luck in the Challenge.

Damn brother, I mean that’s a lot of food but the over riding question here is how fcuking big are your chickens??? 100g chicken has 31g protein - 200g would be a big breast in the uk so yours must be like ****ing turkeys out there!!

I am thinking the half means one side, not half of one chicken breast filet. Then again we have 1 pound chicken breast filets all over in America, and they say they are natural just like our bodybuilders! HA!

They are HUGE, believe me -but thinking about it, could be a miscalculation from my part. Total protein closer to 250gr. The tilapia filet I weighted beforehand.
 
Sharing something awesome I found out yesterday:

I'm plagued by cramps and twitching muscles when on cycle (especially on orals).

Found THIS:
Invalid Link Removed

Modified it to this:

-500ml water
-1 teaspoon powdered electrolytes (look up: alacer "electromix" on amazon)
-3 teaspoons of sugar
-1 tablespoon of vegetable glycerin (get a gallon at amazon)

Took it at night. Woke up with no twitching/cramping muscles anymore.

Sounds like an awesome pre/intra workout too, ready to be mixed up with other goodies.

So, I have a bunch of research into various aspects of obesity that I have been doing, and this is just a couple of studies, but there's some interesting links between melatonin and diabetes/obesity.

So, you know me - always a calories in, calories out kind of guy. Don't really buy into a lot of the stuff. I've always pushed back on the "meal timing" ideas or even worse, the idea that eating later at night had some magical impact on weight management - but maybe there are some indirect factors dealing with circadian rhythms.

Of course, I think A LOT of people are in the same boat as you and I certainly am. It's easy to be busy during the day and eat nothing at all, then at night while winding down it's time for the eating disorders to come out. And I am not using eating disorder in a derogatory fashion in any way, to be clear.
