A log with vague goals

[Smont]

This is a bout a week ago. Today was bench, deadlift and some chest and triceps after.

Bench I turned that 275 into a 3 pretty easy, of course I immediately went to put 315 on the bar put the little guy on my shoulder showed up today and said chill out so I didn't **** with it.
Deadlift I did 375x3 and 405x2 and I said leave it.
(I did a s*** ton of warm ups for my shoulders and a whole bunch of warm-up sets for bench and deadlift obviously I'm not jumping into these. It probably took me a solid 45 minutes to finish the warmup +bench press and the deadlift. Then I did some incline DB presses, put the '70s up for 20, had someone help me get the '90s up and did a set of 10, I really wanted to do a couple sets with the '90s but even with someone helping me it was a b** getting it up and I don't want to f* around with my shoulder. So I went back down to the '70s and just did a couple high rep sets. Then I used a cable machine for a couple sets of two different fly variations And to be honest I didn't really pay attention to the weight at all. Not very heavy. I finished up with cable press down with the stack for 12 and some DB krushers with 20's till I felt like my triceps were going to cramp up.

Overall pretty good workout.

Mostly going to be tracking notes for my strength on the bench press and the deadlift and I'm going to alternate the deadlift with some box squats and occasionally I'll do an overhead press instead of the bench. At least that's how I'm feeling right now lol

Soooo, I'm going up to 5 units post workout 5 nights a week , the other 2 days I'm just gonna do a unit with fasted cardio or nothing. I'm not chasing up the dose because of a lack of results, I'm getting results on 4. I actually haven't noticed much but everybody else apparently does and I'm just kind of standing in the mirror today and realizing like I look really wide and my waist looks tighter and dosing for I use 5 days a week makes me have to draw 2 units then start a new bttl and doing five a day just makes more sense I just do half the bottle one day half a bottle the next. Needless to say I'm staying on GH for a while lol. And upping my cycle. But just going to run 450 test 450 EQ and more epiandro. If things get dry I'll make adjustments but I do good with 50/50 on these 2 and the epiandro doesn't seem to change much. I take the whole dose pre-workout too.

So I went to make a order for 3 more kits, and he's out check back in 2 weeks WTF) other source has it but it's more $$ and I haven't tried it obviously.

I'm thinking about staying on 5 units all summer and slowly building up the cycle. I definitely want to throw in 100-150mg of tren ace for June/July. Maybe 5-6 week. I'm getting excited because I've been stagnant in visual progress for a while. I've just been kind of maintaining with small tweaks up and down.

I basically lost 5lbs last week (Don't remember the exact number I mentioned it a few post back I believe) But basically I lost 5 lb last week and gained 5 lb back this week and I look different lol leaner, wider, and rounder. Nothing crazy, but noticable in a very short time

Sounds like you’ve got a good recomp going on, with getting wider and waist tighter. And that 5 IU of Growth is a good supercharge for your Test/EQ cycle, making it all work better. It makes sense what you were saying about going ahead and doing half a bottle at a time at 5 IU instead of 4 for convenience. With your work and your boxing, in addition to lifting, that EQ should help with your cardio capacity to be able to push through. All and all that sounds like a good end of Spring, take you into Summer cycle…. Test/EQ/HGH…Nice workout too….putting up some good numbers.

 

[LeanEngineer]

I think I'm gonna log some workouts to track some ****

I know some ppl are religious about logging workouts. I do it now and then just to note my weight that I'm using but definitely not strict about

I'm hoping to get those numbers back to snuff from years past. I definitely have more strength then the numbers are showing, I'm just not gonna jump the gun and risk injury. If I had to guess, my current bench max is going to be 315-325 (370 comp pr) and my deadlift is probably about 460-475 right now (508/525 comp And gym pr).

Goal is to get those pr's back in sight and then break them.

Put everything else in my training is not heavy and I'm going for hypertrophy, conditioning mobility and all kinds of stuff like that.

I feel like I need more overall volume and intensity but il work into it. Lots of my 2 hr workouts lately could easily be crammed into a 1-hour session. But I'm taking much longer rest. It's on my big lifts and I'm training people so I'm kind of mixing in my fluff stuff in their workouts. So I'm going pretty far from failure on everything, too many reps in the tank, too much rest between sets. But over the course of a week it's a lot of total work.

I'm a bit torn but things are working very well so maybe I shouldn't focus too much on it

 

[Smont]

I know some ppl are religious about logging workouts. I do it now and then just to note my weight that I'm using but definitely not strict about

I usually track some basic notes every workout, like I might just in my phone write down the weights I used. That's usually when I put up the screenshot of the yellow notepad. When I'm training other people like right now it's hard to track as well because I need to do their workouts not mine. But I do know that when I want to see significant change I have to really track everything and be meticulous with it or I don't get the results I'm looking for.

The added GH is helpful tho lol. I also think I have the perfect storm going on right now because I'm about 3 weeks into test an EQ so those should be kind of just starting to do their thing while the added GH is doing its thing and things just seem to be clicking.

Another thing to note is I'm not tired during the day but I'm very tired first thing in the morning and don't want to get out of bed

Is your sleep any better?

 

[Smont]

Is your sleep any better?

Yes and no. I'm falling asleep earlier and I'm tired in the morning but still wake up a few times. I definitely feel more tired and feel like I could sleep more if I had the time to sleep in I should have took a few days this weekend to sleep in and I didn't. If I can get to bed an hour earlier I know I'll be able to get an hour of extra sleep so it's going to be a matter of me getting my ass in bed early

Their glutathione also came reconstituted, and crashed right away when I stored it in the refrigerator. When I emailed them, they said “just don’t refrigerate it”.

Workout was awesome today.

After warming up I did 5 sets of 15 reps on flat bench, 20° DB fly and cable crossovers and then I did 5 sets of cable press downs and 3 rounds sparring. About 20 sets total and I hit failure (with really good form) on maybe 3 or 4 sets throughout the entire workout

That sounded like a good workout….man 75 reps of volume on bench is impressive.

 

[Smont]

Idk if you guys can read this chicken scratch but here's today's work.

 

[Smont]

I decided 525 is going to be my first goal on deadlifts. Once I get back to there I'll start looking for a peeking program.

Old best deadlifts I think are 508 comp 525 gym

 

[gphagan1]

That’s a good workout….you put in a lot of work. Looks like you’re well on your way to 525.

Nice session. I wish I could do incline closegrip; I didn’t find out about them until my elbow mobility was already shot. But Louie always claimed they were a secret weapon for building up arm strength.

I noticed one day that The higher of an incline I do for close grip the less I feel it in my shoulder. @45° I purely feel it in my triceps and pretty much nowhere else until my form starts to break. Louie said that? That's just awesome bonus points lol. I always did them on a slight incline but this high incline I think is where it's at. Makes sense

 

[Smont]

Also the 15-25 rep sets after my deadlifts and chins, idk why I'm going so high but the pump is great. And there's no reason to break form on those, And if it does break the weight is light enough that I can't hurt anything. I just don't know if I'm going a little bit too light, I'm just trying to dump all my risk factors into the deadlift and not have any risks anywhere else

Yeah Lou advocated for a high incline closegrip to really build up the static strength & size of the arms, to carryover for bench. They would do it as a max effort movement occasionally, or heavy accessory (like 3x5 afterwards), or even as a hypertrophy accessory. Basically it could get used for any rep range successfully.

Ok I'm gonna play around with the rep ranges and look up some Westside stuff

I’ve never tried the incline close grip. Man if it helps alleviate stress on the shoulders and still hit the triceps like flat CG bench, or better, I’m gonna have to give them a shot this week.

I feel it less in the shoulder and more in the tricep for sure. It definitely removes some other muscles from the equation

Will definitely give this a shot my next accessory chest day!

 

[Hyde]

Be careful how far you go down that rabbit hole! A lot of the stuff was very contextual/situational, and furthermore Lou put out content for decades - naturally, he experimented a lot and his opinions on things changed with more experience. Depending on what you are reading, he will say wildly contradictory stuff. So don’t get caught in the weeds. Also remember that while bodybuilding was a big part of the WS method, it was for the purpose of a bigger total. Not the same as optimal aesthetics.

But if WS did anything well, it actually was produce a lot of very strong raw bench pressers. They never held many records in that because it wasn’t a thing, but they had droves of guys who had benched 500 raw. What they never did have much of was big deadlifters.

Will definitely give this a shot my next accessory chest day!

To be clear, you should feel it very little in the pecs. So if you mean on an accessory “pressing” day it’s ideal, but as a chest movement it’s worthless.

 

[Dustin07]

man it took me like a year to be able to incline without irritating my shoulders. I go pretty wide now but my buddy runs his pretty narrow for the same reasons you guys are mentioning. He sorta has issues finding good pec activation anyways, even with flies etc so I'm not sure he fully understands what he's trying to achieve yet on inclines tbh.

 

[Smont]

Today's chicken scratch, didn't list warm ups. Did some extra work in between sets that I didn't write down. Today's weight in the morning was 200.2lbs, I think that puts me up 6lbs (fasted) with no noticable fat gains and maybe a slight reduction in fat. I do have some joint pain and I haven't had one single sign of high estrogen in any way shape or form which I normally get a little nipple sensitivity or a couple pimples here and there but I've got nothing this time, almost to the point where I think my estrogen may be a little low so I'm going to add an extra 100 mg of testosterone per week so that my test is just a little bit higher than my EQ without lowering the cycle, The alternative was to use 25 mg of DMZ but I think the extra 100 mg of test per week is more sensible.

Everything should be working so I really am expecting some big changes. I've definitely already been getting the comments. Looking jacked or how you staying so jacked at 40 with a smirk lol. I don't feel super strong or anything, just noticing the changes in looks between workouts. I stay pumped up much longer. Much fuller, a little water, and VERY, VERY TIRED! I actually took 2 days off work hoping I could sleep it off but I'm just more tired all the time. I can definitely manage tho. Sleep is my weak link so more sleep is good

 

[Smont]

The leg press probably doesn't make sense, basically I did 3x30 rep sets where I do the first 10 reps left leg only then the second 10 reps I'm using a little bit of cheat from my right leg to power out 10 more reps and then I put both feet together for the final 10 reps.

There's no real reasoning here other than the fact that my left leg is significantly smaller than my right leg and I'm trying to catch my left leg up without my right leg getting any bigger

 

[Smont]

Currently my cycle is about (You guys know I forget to take stuff sometimes so that's why I said about lol)

450 test, 450eq, 900mg epiandro pre workout only and HGH 4-5iu most days.

I'm gonna tighten up my dosing schedule so I'm not making anyone's head spin.

I do want to add that other than being tired I have yet to experience a single side effect from anything.

 

[Dustin07]

love the old school pen and paper. I always have respect for dudes when I see them sitting down with a notebook on a bench inbetween sets. it would never work for me cause I sweat too much, lol.

the older we get the bigger the flex for being fit, IMO. I always tell my wife all women look the same under like 35-38 lol. Guys are the same way. I don't really care about your physique at 22. Lets see what you look like on vacation in your 40s.

I was looking through all my old notebooks the other day and something hit me, When I pull open anything I wrote down with a pen and paper I have all the data start to finish for progression in weights. But since I've been using my phone and tracking stuff online I don't have all the progression and it gets lost a lot. If I want to find out how much I've progressed in the last 3 months I got to start looking through my phone and then find the dates on the workouts and then I got to go into my log and see where that workout fell in my log and what I was on at the time blah, blah blah.

So now I just keep the notebook at the gym in the back corner it's got my name on it and it says don't move from this spot lol. I open it up I write down a couple things that are important and then I snap a picture of it.

Yes I could be more organized with my recording workouts via phone or logs, but, I don't know man technology sucks lol. I like my notepad and it's always going to be at the gym and during my workout I can look back and see what I've done each week and what needs to get worked on and I think it's going to lead to better progress. Because I use to keep very tight notes and I no longer do

 

[Smont]

Also, I'm a toy's r us kid. I ain't never gonna grow up. I need to look younger, be fitter and be better at all sports and anything athletic then these kids lol.

They say you can't beat father time, there probably right. But, I can run away from him for a long time if I stay in shape lol.

Also, since I'm trying to permanently be a teenager in every aspect of my life, lol. I quit my job for the summer, kinda. I quit working for the company I'm still going to do a little of my own stuff and work at the gym. Every once in a blue moon I do something like this because I just need to switch it up. The ADHD gets irritated with the anxiety and squirrel master comes out of left field and made me his bitch!

It's also hooligan season

The risk is real. I started my log here in 2015 after bodybuildingdungeon.com shut down. so I had 3 years of logs there that just disappeared one day. I love the simplicity of hitting tapatalk and jotting down my session as I go, but yeah if I lost the forum all I'd really have left is whats in my head which is a bit unfortunate because I have absolutely logged 99.9999999% of my sessions for about 13+ years.

Dude its true. Ed Connors gives boomers a huge credit for the gym craze taking off initially but says most don't partake anymore. I think its Gen X and the oldest millennials (like me and you, although I identify as X lol) who have to set the bar for what 40 and 50 should look like now.

There's actually not one single vegetable in the garden yet

haha my wife's garden is coming along really well and the other day she was like, why couldn't we grow a pot plant? I was like well, technically you could, it's not even illegal. You just need some seed....

Technically I'm growing illegal by putting it outdoors. I don't know if every state has different rules but I'm supposed to be limited to 6 plants, indoors or behind lock doors (greenhouse with a lock is acceptable) but if someone wanted to call about the ones I put in the garden, technically, they would be allowed to chop them down.

Now, around here, no1 cares. There's a retired narcotics cop who picks tomatoes from my garden and he doesn't seem worried so why should I . He trained drug sniffing dogs, detection dog handler!

Sort of in the same boat here. Started logging here in 2015 and have thousands of pages of my workouts, but it's not easy to flip back and find old numbers, personal bests, etc.

Maybe old school pen & pad is the way.

well apparently I was wrong and technically we aren't supposed to grow without a license even though you can buy it at 15 different shops between my home and my office, lol. not sure how much I care though, still sounds like a fun endeavor ha.

Thursday I did flat bench up to 275X5 with a back off 225x10+5+5 rest pause style
I did a standing ohp 135x5x5, I probably should have used more weight but my wrists were tight, everything felt a little tight and tired despite strength being very high. I ended up having a short strength and conditioning workout with some of the boxers and were gonna start regularly doing that 2-3 nights a week. So my workouts are getting strange lol. But everything is going good and I can't complain.

Friday I did 30min HIIT cardio followed with 5 sets of skull krushers and 5 sets of barbell curls

This morning was jumping deadlifts and hack squats, 30min HIIT via boxing and plyometrics followed up by a lot of high rep delt work.

The added cardio this week has dropped my weight back to 198, I've been under eating but also sleeping more. Still in recomp mode without really thinking too hard, it's just happening like it always does early cycle, although I'm trying to get my appetite up to par for more growth. I'm tempted to get a little dirty just to get the calories up and build my appetite back up.

With all the pot I smoke you'd think I'd be hungry all the time but it doesn't seem to make me hungry anymore, unless it's like 11:00 at night and I'm hungry for Pop-Tarts lol

With all the pot I smoke you'd think I'd be hungry all the time but it doesn't seem to make me hungry anymore, unless it's like 11:00 at night and I'm hungry for Pop-Tarts lol

If you inherited 1/3 of my munchies it be all ya need!!!

Nice bench numbers!!! Killin it as always bud!!!

I do get the late night munchies but unfortunately they don't crave chicken breast and omelettes lol. Only cake and cookies lol.

Il be doing some bpfit pj's with fair life chocolate RTD's. It's a sneaky way to get 40-45gm of protein in your dessert

Smont, In previous comments you had mentioned that you have a problem with high blood pressure during a cycle, try hibiscus tea 20 grams per liter of water placed on the stove to boil the water as is more correct than the herb to brew in boiling water, divide into three equal cups and drink three times a day. Lowers blood pressure dramatically, but must be drunk every day. From 146/90 to 120/68.

My blood pressure has been low, not high. I think I had 1 morning it was high. But when it does spike I use telmasartin

we usually keep low or non fat cottage cheese in stock and my kryptonite is good cornchips so my cheat snack is often dipping the chips into a big ol serving of cottage cheese. might not work for some people but I consider it to be an almost acceptable snack since it's protein heavy, low on fat, moderate on carbs etc.

solid benching btw!

I'm not sure I would like that but I understand completely because one of my weird guilty pleasures (it's been like a year since I've done this lol) but I take a bag of ruffles and a block of softened cream cheese and use the cream cheese like dip. Unfortunately cream cheese it's not interchangeable for cottage cheese in the macros department lol
