You killed it! Great sesh!
 
Speaking of learn, teach, lead - ventured into the anabolics section last night for the first time in eons. Holy trainwreck batman. That section is basically an isolated island for the lost children. Questions such as:
-Do I really need to take breaks between cycles of orals?
-Do I really need to use a SERM in my PCT?
-Do I really need a PCT?
-Where can I get a SERM?
-What does SERM mean?
-Will my coach notice I'm on something when I fail a drug test for my junior varsity football team?

I got a headache from facepalming myself one article after another. Tried to help a few brothers out, but you just can't save em all.

The exact reason I do not go on there anymore, it's crazy!

They drive me nuts. Even worse is the reps for a certain company trying to pimp their gear to kids with no idea of pct, gear use and dietary habits thinking some epistane will get them diced. Yo stop trying to sell to the 17 year old at 27% body fat that's 6'1 and a measly 175lbs.
 
It's kinda terrible. All the misinformation to push things like DAA & arimistane & such like valid pct & estro controls. Are they fine to include? Sure. Is an otc pct acceptable? Only for the dhea metabolites dosed as directed.

I really like Orbit, & love that we've added so many products lately, but I refuse to go around pimping our store just to sell otc PCT products when ppl ask what they should take. And thankfully, the management at Orbit doesn't want us doing that either. Ppl see thru that crap, & it discredits the whole organization.
 
Epic free meal this morning. Chicken fried steak, home fries, two eggs, two pancakes and bcazo favorite... French toast stuffed with cannoli filling. Got a good caption for this one? <img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=100569"/>

Where do you get those megaload treats? They look fantastic!

The people that run orbit are stand up as well! It makes me happy to work with them and it makes me feel good that if I'm giving my money to a company with great employees!
 
Today's quads and calves. Got a slow start couldn't find my keys to get home from the woman's house. Can't wait to squat a 4010 rep count with 40 sec rests... Jk yes I can.
 
This one frightens even me... Bet I yak today

Pukin' rally!!!!


Leg extensions 4x8 + 1 triple drop set

Hack squats 1ppsx 8 1.5ppsx8 2ppsx8 2.5ppsx8 3ppsx7drop5drop5

Walking lunges
1x8. Puke. 3x8

Leg press same progression as hack squats same weights. Kept everything quad dominant.

Puke again


Seated calves 3x10

Standing calves ss standing unweighted 3x10

All sets. 4010 cadence again.

About to eat chicken I'm out of whey. :-(. Hope the chicken stays down lmao.
 
Hey Beast did you notice when trying to stick with his split that it is impossible to allow for all of the rest periods, and the drop set and actually complete some of the workouts in 40 minutes. It is a great premise however later in the program he recommends "IF" you can not complete it in 40 minutes you should try to do a 2 a day for that grouping...That was one of the big reasons I couldn't stick with it on my limited training time but I use his "Intentions" techniques in all my training now other than when training for power. However if my biceps don't square away soon I will simply do exactly that and do two a days to use this one.
 
By the way is anyone else annoyed with the text editor keeps scrunching the text back up into one paragraph, not showing any of the format spacing on places you have hit enter to start a new paragraph. I hate every post coming out looking like a giant fugging run on sentence.

I have noticed but I'm just powering through. Not too concerned with time. If I gotta rest 60-90 I will also. Not gonna hit a heavy set of anything with out being able to breathe. Lol.
 
Yeah I would typically but some of them entered into 75 minutes with the two body parts those are the ones i don't have time for in the morning. I have exactly 90 minutes from the time I enter the gym at 4:30 to be walking out. Sometimes I get there a little late so I always try to keep my lifting to less than an hour unless on a weekend or in the evenings when a fast workout is hard to get in.

Yes everytime I make a damn list or different paragraphs.. it all goes into one.

I'm not on a time crunch. :-).


PICS or it didn't happen ;)

Yuck.
 
Ben is a deep man, indeed.

Beast if you come down here I don't know if I could keep up with your leg days man. I've never puked during a workout. I have passed out during a 275 frontsquat tho, if that's worth anything. And dropped 519 from the top on accident one time. THAT was loud.

The 40 second breaks were honestly the killer lol. I think dropping anything is loud. I remember dropping 335 in highschool. Then 445 in Canada last year. Not much of a difference.



Leg DOMs from yesterday... F me I can feel them growing damn it hurts so good
 
You say that, except I just remember it was so damn loud I thought it shook the place. People were like wtf & I apologized to the management so they wouldn't think I was just a dbag lol

Oh it was loud. The whole damn gym was starting. And I was on a trial membership which was even worse. First day there lmao...
 
Back n hams

Wide grip pull ups on the assist machine 4x8 1x8x5x3

Supported db row 4x8 1x8x7x4

Rack deads 4x6

Seated leg curl 4x8 1x8x6x11

Feet high and wide leg press with inward tension added at my heels 4x8 1x8x6x6

Sticking to the mi 40 rep counts. My legs are torched. Back is swole and I have no clue how I am able to perform cardio.
 
I'm glad your liking the MI40 routine!

It's fantastic for an old fawk like me man. All muscle work, no joints. Soreness is on a different level... Down to the bone not just a sore stiff fascia. I think I'll be using this for a while.
 
went in for a quick demolition of my delts and triceps. theyre crushed.

lateral raises 4x8 1x8x5x6

rear delt db's off a low incline bench 4x8 1x8x12

cable lateral raises 4x7 i just could not get the 8th on any set my delts were SCREAMING

HS shoulder press 4x8 1x7x4x6

tricep push downs 4x8 1x8x3x4

skull crushers 4x8 1x8x8

skipped seated dips or dips they really irritate the bad shoulder... didnt matter pump is obscene..

reverse grip 1h push downs 5x8

all sets 4010 rep cadence. really really starting to see how this could work to grow. my pumps are better now than on 1.2g of gear.. i'm on literally 1/4 of that dose right now...
 
Hyde I finally picked up a belt. The slow negatives on deads and squats have me nervous. Toro bravo in that sexy Ass suede blue. Kinda excited! Just wanted to share lol

That lift was yesterday... I've always been a raw lifter. My old power coach used to give us sh!t for wearing belts and gloves and other stuff. When done right you shouldn't need it. However I'm pushing way too close to failure and we all know form breaks with failure and that's how injuries can happen. I guess I'm trying to be preventative these days. My shoulder and hip hurt bad enough. Don't need any more crap.

Lol, I didn't read the date. Oh yes! We have to train smarter these days to prevent more injuries.
 
A belt is still raw. Every fed there is includes belts in the raw class. It's for safety, for when things don't go right. Oh, birth control? Naw, if you always pull out before you have any pre-cum you should be set. That's such a crock, & so is being so proud to believe you'll never execute any lift improperly ever. Yeah, that never happens when you go max effort, ever....except almost always. I hate idiots like your coach.

And a belt will increase your max lifts, if you have it at proper tightness & can exert your core properly against it with a valsalva maneuver. But if everyone has it, it's not cheating - somewhere along the way everyone decided (rightly so) that it was better to be safer. Bonus: your numbers also went up.

Rant over.

I love my titan belt. I hope you got the lever. I'd pay the premium twice for a lever over a regular belt; a belt needs to be damn tight to work, & you don't wanna walk around with it as tight as it needs to be, or have to dick with a pronged one every heavy set before you go ham. Lot of time/energy wasted IMHO.
