Day 43:
Deadlift-385X1
Snatch Grip High Pull-115x5,5,5
KB Swings-45#@6min
NOTE: Huuuuuuuuge step back in my DL. I tried for 415 twice and couldn't get above my knees. Dropped weight from 45's to 35's and got one good pull. Called it quits and moved on. Since last week three things changed...
Day 42: 1ST PHASE WEIGH-IN AND EPI/1 THOUGHTS:
Goal: 1-1.5lb/week x 6wk = 6-9lbs of total weight loss
Start: 195.2lbs
Final: 185.8lbs
Results: (-9.4lbs)
Goal (based off final results): 9.4 x 0.8 = 7.5-9.4lbs of loss is fat
Start: 195.2x22.8%=150.67lbm
Final: 185.8x20.8%=147.15lbm
Results...
Day 41:
Bench-230x2
Push Press-135x5
KB Swings-45lb@5 min
NOTES: Stopped Epi/1 on Friday. Started Sup3r PCT on Saturday. Stopped using stims on Saturday. Started Nolva on Sunday. I managed to start feeling sick on Friday evening, which has really mucked up my perception of transitioning to...
I've found PM timing plays a big role for me. If I take within 30 minutes of bed, my sleep improves over no KSM. If I take it more than 30 minutes before, I'm restless.
I use a sleep app, and it also shows these changes.
Day 38:
Squat-320x2
Leg Press-630x8
Hip Thrust-XXX
Calf Raise-165x12
NOTES: Did rounds of KB swings for HIIT yesterday. Ended up effecting my workout today. Struggled to "get out of the hole" on my squat and so I only did two reps on max weight. Leg press and calf raise did just fine though...
Ditto! Ironically, I've got 4 weeks left on a cut but taking a stim break starting next week. Those two would normally be a huge contradiction, but I'm confident this stack deal is going to push me through!!!!
Day 36:
Deadlift-410x2
Pullup-80x4
NOTES: Had a meeting so my workout was shortened down to the "essentials". On paper it looks like I fell short of my target on both too. I got 3 reps on DL but my form broke...so I only counted 2. I got 4 reps on pullup but was a kip away from 5, so I held...
Day 34:
Bench-225x3
Military Press-135x4
Dips-60x12
Lat Raise-20x12
NOTES: Started the week with my Wednesday routine because I started building a table for the misses over the weekend and my back didn't feel 100% today. Seemed prudent to not go for a 410# lift! Regardless of the why, I'm...
Day 31:
Squat-315x3
Hack Press-630x8
Hip Thrust-165x10
Calf Raise-165x12
NOTES: Took the HIIT off yesterday and it made a big difference in my energy. Still feeling a bit flat, but strength was back up in the gym. Progressed on everything and hit 315 on squats. I've not expected miracles...
The more you share the more people can help. And I'm talking about people much more experienced (and stronger) than me.
A bunch of your comments say, "did workout, saw nothing". What's "nothing"?
Does your routine call for rep progression? Weight progression? Both?
Are you losing strength...
It sounds like you're disappointed with what you're seeing/feeling so far. Are you tracking nutrition at all? Or are you just aiming for high protein and low carb macros? Knowing those actual numbers could probably make it easier for people to help here.
I'm asking because I'm a bit more than...
Day 29:
Bench-220x3
Military Press-125x8
Dips-55x12
Lat Raise-20x7
NOTES: Mixed bag today. Every bench station was occupied (one by a guy doing curls!!!) so I started with press. Hit my reps and was happy because I jumped from 4@125 last week up to 8. Turns out I gave my all for press...
Day 28: Weighed in at 188.0 (-7.2) and 21.4% (-1.4%). If accurate, I've lost 4.3lbs of fat and 2.9lbs muscle (or 60/40). However, I'm placing less and less faith in the BF measures. I'll continue to do them for continuity, but I'm going to focus on keeping my strength up and the total weight...
Day 24:
Squat-305x3
Hack Press-630x8
Hip Thrust-115x10
Calf Raise-155x12
NOTES: Another uneventful day. Didn't hit my target for squats, but since I went up in weight from last week, I basically treaded water again. If I were on the bulk side of this log, I'd be bummed. Since I'm keeping my...
Day 23: Another HIIT day. I'm almost through with my 4th week and I honestly don't feel much different than I did at the start. However, I think that's actually a sign of how well these supplements work and, I hope, a sign that I've timed my calorie cuts perfectly with the increased...
Day22:
Bench-215x5
Press-125x4
Dips-50x11
Lat. Raise-20x10
NOTES: MAJOR stall on overhead press. I went up 5lbs from last week but my reps were half what got then. I didn't feel weak, but when I went into the lift I just ran out of steam quickly.
I had an obligation outside the gym which...
Day 21: HIIT was uneventful. Weighed in this morning at 189.8 (-5.4) and 21.9% (-0.9%). I'm happy with the weight lost but not overly excited about the amount that has been muscle (if the BF measure is accurate). Considering my strength isn't dropping, I'm hopeful I'm just at the limits of a...
Day 21:
-Deadlift-395x3
-Neutral Pullup-75x5
-Seated Row-145x12
-Wide Pulldown-150x0
NOTES: Interesting workout today. I started strong and I'm pumped I'll be going for 405 on deads next week. However, I felt depleted pretty quickly. Not sure if the andros are giving the strong start but the...
