    Benched 250x5x3 tomight. Felt strong - had to check plates warming up with 135, thought i might have loaded 35's by mistake. Nuked chest/delts/tris. Back is much better; hoping to overcome the DD curse, and at least continue strength phase for bench. 30th patch tonight. Impressions at halfway...

Bodyweight rising steadily, 201 this am, but BF not off the charts despite poor diet and no cardio to...

    No, I can't really tout any "healing" properties, at least not after 1 week. Back pain is my worst issue but its been good lately (prior to the log). But i can say the old joints are feeling good. I dropped the joint supp i was taking (Joyful Joints), with no adverse effects.

    Interesting development today. I normally take 3-4 days to recup, but had no remaining doms from Sunday's pretty intense chest/delts/tris, so hit em again tonight (only ~52 hours between). Bombed delts first (5 sets side laterals, 5 sets presses, 3 sets rear delts) then light bench - declines...

    Light SQ (225x5x3) & DL (295x5x1 and some down sets) last night. Back was a little twingy so didn't push it. Noticed increased vascularity doing bi's and forearms... above the norm for me at this bodyweight. Weight is down a couple pounds to 198; eating somewhat cleaner. Good zzzz's last night...

    Welp - 1st night was a bust... tossed and turned all night. Maybe was so excited thinking about sleeping that I couldn't sleep.

    1st patch applied tonight - it's on! Dirty AF bulk has my starting stats up to 200 BW and 20% BF. Cleaning up diet to maintenance level starting tomorrow. Expecting 5-10 lbs increased BW over the 60-days cycle, and hopefully to maintain or reduce BF.
