Wrist is still bothering me but getting better. The pullovers were the worst but if I positioned my hands right, it wasn't bad. Feeling some good strength again. Had some back pumps today at work but didn't last long and were in no way bad/ painful.

Looking through my records, these were both PRs!! Was thinking I had done that weight already but nope, I haven't!
 
Yes. I would say the majority of my 11+/- gains so far have been lean gains. Muscles are looking fuller/ harder and the waist/love handles are staying the same.[/QUOTE]

Nice. That's what I like to hear. Keep it up playa

Did these all as one super set. The pump was massive!! Wasn't able to kick the weight up too much because of the pump and how it was burning like a branding iron! Of course, I did get the new PRs on the calf press!! ;) Back pumps were kicking a little today but still not as bad as I had on my last cycle. I'm already thinking about running this again but maybe stacking it with some Brawn. Not ready for this to be over just yet. At least I have a few more days!
 
Dude, isn't it awesome when you're overcome by that feeling to just check yourself out and start snapping shots of yourself and your progress!!?? Lookin good dude!!

It sucks that my phone doesn't show the veins that are showing!! Probably just the flouresant bulbs but I took probably 10 pics trying to show it and finally just said screw it.
 
Definitely lookin thicker. I love when I see progress, especially when I take before, midway and end of cycle pics!

Ps. LED bulbs are the way to go!

Getting bigger!!!

Hard work and some alpha;)

Yeah buddy!!!
 
Got a swollen nose today. Was using the air hose to blow off some wood chips from where I was working when the blow gun came undone from the hose. The valve in the coupler of the hose stayed open and the hose started whipping around like on the cartoons. Before I could grab the hose, it dinked me in the nuts. Then when I did get the hose, it whipped up and hit me right across the bridge of my nose with the brass coupler. Smacked me pretty dang good too! Of course at that point, my inner Hulk took over! I grabbed the hose again and proceeded to slam it down on the concrete floor over and over again till the valve in the coupler finally closed. Stood up and kinda grunted a little and then looked around. Yeah, I got busted! One of the other guys saw the ordeal and was well humored! Needless to say, that coupler needs replaced! LOL!
 
Lmao!! That would've been worth the price of admission to watch!! Sorry about the busted up nose though. Lol.

Wrist was feeling pretty good till the tricep extensions-- those kinda hurt but just pushed anyways! Vascularity was awesome in arms and shoulder boulders. Wanted to just keep on lifting but had to go get my daughter out of her gymnastics class. Oh well, I got a good workout in anyways! Still very pumped an hour later!
 
I would have loved to see I smashing that hose one he ground!!! Lmao hope the nose is OK?? Keep killing your in the home stretch
 
3 hours later and pump & vascularity still going strong! Unflexed just holding arm out to the side with open hand. Kind of a crappy pic but you get the idea!

What I picture it looking like was an ape killing a snake that bit him. A slight stretch calling myself an ape instead of a lemur but yeah.
 
Day 26

Weight: +11.5

Swimming

Spent an hour swimming today instead of lifting. Had to work late today to load out a semi and the gym was packed by time I got there. The state fair started today so I'm thinking there won't be as many tomorrow morning so that's when I'll get my lifts in!

The way I regulate my doses is that I put them in my pill carrier for the day. Not one dose missed. Thing is, I should have enough for 32 days the way I started at 2/day. Instead, I have enough to go for 33 days and kick the dose up to 4/day starting today!!! Hmmmm, 8 days at 4/day to end it strong? YEEEEEEUUUUUUP!! I'M GONNA!
 
80mg whew couldn't imagine lol can't wait to see(read) what comes out of it!

Awesome job lukey. Have you thought about lowering your warm up reps or even skipping a middle set and going heavy right after warm up? Doing this on cycle really helped push me on my bulk cycle. I didn't realize how much I wore myself out warming up.

Looks like I'm gonna have to go with a bigger waist size (again) and start wearing a belt. Got home and immediately took off my jeans, went through my shorts and pants and made a stack of "get rid of" clothes. Those jeans weren't horrible standing but as soon as I sat down...........
Thing is, they weren't that bad last week but I have added 3/4" to my thighs since starting this cycle!

Now that's some serious leg gain right there !!
 
Day 28

Weight: +11.5

Off day.

Was really expecting weight to be up today because I severely ate like a hog yesterday. The massive duece this morning prior to weigh in took care of that though! Lol!
 
Day 29 & 30

Weight: ??

Work days

Been on the road again putting up a house. Strength seems to be better because carrying some of the timbers by myself didn't seem bad at all. They actually felt rather light which surprised me. These last 2 houses have been in Missouri but the next one is down by Fort Worth, Tx. I think that one will be rather hot.
