Bulking season is in full gear. The treadmills are gaining dust. Parking closer to doorways becomes a real thing again. Deficits are so two months ago. Sweatshirts hide the fact that your six packs have turned into 2 packs and you’re loving every minute of it.

‘‘Tis the season of feeling good. Getting those numbers up on all your lifts and oh yeah, getting huge.

Chaos and Pain have created a new product called Chemical X that will see to the last paragraph becoming fact.

Thanks to CNP and pyrobatt for choosing me to run this for 8 weeks followed by their PCT product Cannibal Alpha. I’m looking forward to every massive minute of it.

Over the course of this log I’ll update each of my training sessions, discuss how I feel the product is reacting with me and will post before during and after photos to show how everything meshes together before the cameras eye.

This is s bulking log. Plain and simple. I will only be doing a very, very limited amount of cardio. If I do extra it means I’ll be feasting for sure way above my normal range.

As for macros:

I’m currently at 179 lbs.

I’m shooting for about 225-250 grams protein, 300-360 grams carbohydrates and about 80-90 grams fat. This puts me in a general range of about 2800-3200 calories daily and that should put me at about a 400-500 calorie surplus daily. This will get adjusted as I go along though.

My mother is a world class chef so there will be some awesome meals and you guys picked a perfect time for me to run this, as starting in November desserts and baked goods become the absolute norm. So yeah, my bulks do have a tendency to get a bit dirty. I’m sure just the way many of you guys like it.

The occasional training video will pop up, along with crazy food porn, and lots of donuts on my instagram feed. For those not following my ig is rutherford_fred. A lot of the food porn I’ll post in here but the videos are a pain in the butt to post on am through the app and tbh I rarely go on the cpu ever, so those will be on ig only for the most part.

I’ll get the before pics and officially start the log in a couple days, as tbh I really wasn’t sure when it would arrive so on Saturday I figured I’d get some beer and I have about five left so want to finish them off before I start this as.

I just finished Chemical X, didn't see any progress. I'm starting to think the Andros and DHEA derivatives are a rip. I have a log on here as well thst I told BloodManor about.

Before I get going with chemical X, I Figured I’d just kick this off with a small taste of the food porn to come

Chicken casserole
IMG_1014.jpg


Chili
IMG_1008.jpg


Salsa chicken and rice
IMG_1006.jpg


Cranberried pork tenderloin with stuffing & broccoli

And of course a donut

Everything outside of pizza and donuts are home made unless I note otherwise. These were all consumed in the past week.

You either need more chili or a smaller bowl. And a beer.

Officially starting tomorrow. Could’ve started today but I really didn’t want to kick this off on Friday the 13th. Yep I’m a superstitious mf.

But I did hit arms today with my new toys. Honestly I thought permaswole was the greatest thing for getting your swole but when you combine it with bfr bands omg. The pumps r just stupid and at times very painful but in a good way.

I did a normal arm workout and used the bands for finishing off Biceps triceps and forearms

Can’t wait to try these out on leg day with the ones made for the legs and calves.

Oh thought I’d list some of the additional supplements I’m using:

Am: fish oil, multi, extra vitamin c,d3 and b12 per dr orders.

Pre workout: I’ve been stim free the past couple weeks and it is as really tough transition the first couple days but permaswole has made it easy on me. I had been using it in addition to my stim pres but it works great as a stand-alone.

So for the next couple weeks at least I’ll be using permaswole pre workout but I’ll use riot and permaswole together on leg days as Tbh leg days have kinda been a bit lackluster in feel since stopping stims.

Intra: hbcd creatine bcaas

That’s it. Obviously I use protein too.

Unless I note otherwise that’ll be the plan. I’ve got 5 tubs of permaswole and a half tub of riot. If I run out of riot b4 this ends I have like 230 servings of different stim pres sitting around.

The plan is to run a core and calves workout tomorrow maybe with some leg extensions and curls just to try out the bfr bands. But I may just switch to chest idk yet

Took 1 capsule in the am, second will be dosed before bed. So dumb an analysis but man these little onyx capsules are freaking cool to look at.

Hit gym did core hips abs calves

Dl. 5x12 135,185,225,235,245. 225x15

30 sec rest between sets. Fifteen minutes in and I was drenched already.

I like to try and pull 3 times a week. I feel freaking beastly afterwards for rest of night. I feel like that still and if this feeling didn’t take place almost every time I pull I’d think the X was already working but I know better, these things will take a bit to kick in.

Hypers 2x15 180,220

Abduction adduction ss 2x25 100,120

This is an workout a for future reference

High and low pulley oblique bends Ss
3x20 65 lbs

Ss
Kneeling rope crunch 3x20 95 lbs
Pallof 3x20 20,25,30 lbs

Note on the kneeling rope crunch: when I do this I hold the stretched position each rep. Doing so really activates the serratus.

Ss
Decline crunch 15,25,20
Hanging leg raises 15,15,20

Ss
Standing rope crunch 3x20 65 lbs
Ab wheel 3x13

Calves
Calf press machine 3x12 250,270,290

Seated calf raises 3x12 90 lbs

Standing calf machine with bfr bands
100 lbs x 30,15,15. 30 sec rest between

The bfr works amazing with calves. It was so painful I could barely get the last few reps done on each set. Pump was insane.

Here’s the before pictures:


Front relaxed

Back relaxed

Flexed double back bi

IMG_1029.jpg



Quads

Legs side view

Calves

IMG_1036.jpg



Starting weight: 180
Bf: unknown but I’d guess somewhere around 13

Current best lifts:

Bench 255x1, 205x10,225x6

Incline bench: 135x10,185x5

Db floor press: 75x10

Incline db 90x6

Squat: 325x6, 275x10

Front squat: 225x6,185x10

Dl: 245x12, 275x10,315x7, 375x1

Sumo dl: 315x6,345x4,370x1

Leg press: 1080x6, 900x10, 630x20

Shoulders press: 135x10, 165x4. But shoulders been a bit wonky with overhead motion so haven’t been overhead pressing in awhile. Been using front raises for front delts.

Clean: 205x3, 185x5,145x10

Clean and press: 175x1, 155x3,135x6

Again I haven’t been doing these either but included Incase I start doing overhead stuff again during this log

Curls: I never do heavy anymore but 85x12 is most I’ve done in a long time. Just hit 75x12 yesterday though

Any others you’re interested in seeing let me know

Macros today: 90 fat. 252 carbs 200 protein 2618 calories tdee 2407 estimated so about 200 surplus. Would’ve been higher but my dog doesn’t eat much anymore and he actually wanted my chicken tonight and bc he was actually eating I just kept giving it to him and he ate the whole 8 oz which I was happy to see.

Didn’t feel like watching ball today. So weird bc typically I watch 3 full games on Sunday. Bills r on bye and just didn’t feel like it. So I knew gym would b dead so I decided to head out there.

I went without a plan and just let it happen organically. I never do that I always have everything written out in advance and only go off script when a machine or bench is taken. Anyhow I know not having a plan isn’t the greatest idea, but man every time I do it I wind up having a really fun session.

Well here’s something you guys might find funny. So I got out of the locker room and still didn’t know what I wanted to do. Then I saw this smoking hot chick doing crazy sh1t near the dbs so at that point I knew I’d be workings with dbs. Lol

Tri set
Side lateral raises 15x30
Db front raises 20x30
Standing rear fly 25x30

Tri set
Side lateral raises with a hold at the top followed by a shrugging motion. Hard as heck. 10x40
Db upright 20x40
Seated db rear fly 15x40

Tri set
Side lateral raises machine 35x50
Barbell front raises 20x50
Hoist rear fly machine 70x50

Circuit
Cable lateral raises 5x30
Bb upright 50x30
Cable front raises 5x30
Cable rear fly 5x30

Face pull 20x50

Straight bar cable shrug 2x30 95,100

Single arm angled db shrug 20x50

Db shrug burnout 110x10,10x30,100x10,20x30,90x10,30x30,80x10,40x30,70x10,50x30,65x10

The 60s were gone so just hit the 65s. Only rest is walking to the opposite side of the rack. It’s ridiculously taxing and the pump turns ordinary traps into buffalo meat, as kali muscle would say

Nothing to report on feel yet with X but I’m not expecting anything for a bit

Macros today 80 fat 310 carbs 258 protein 2992 calories which will b about 350 surplus

Killed legs earlier.

Squat
45x10,135x6 warm up

225x5,315x4,275x6, 245x6,225x7

I should’ve stretched out more today, I was real tight and didn’t get deep enough on the 315, so dropped down. Was going with 1 min rest between sets

Sumo dl
135x6,225x6,315x2,365x1,385-failed
315x7,275x10

Man the 365 went up so easy I thought I had the pr but could only get it to mid shin. Oh well. But I finished up with some awesome reps. Very pleased

Stiff leg dl. 225-3x8

Went strap free for these. Been trying to increase grip strength and it’s getting there but still a work in progress. That said this is the most reps I’ve been able to hit before grip gives out so pleased here. I put a clip up on ig if anyone wanted to check it out

Ss
Seated leg press 3x12 255,260,270
Bw walking lunges 6,7,8

Bfr sets
Prone leg curl 40x30,15,15
Leg extensions 45x30,15,15

Pain pain pain. These hurt so much a smile cracked my lips

Calf press 3x12 270,290,310. Drop set after 310. 130x10

Seated calf raises 3x12 110,100,90 drop after 90 45x15

Bfr sets
Standing calf machine 120x30,15,15

Lol I think I had the calves wrapped too tight bc when I looked down after the last set they were turning blue. But holy crap the swoleness these bfr wraps cause are stupid good.

K I caved and did some cardio

Recumbent 2 minutes liss. Lol

I sat down to do about 5 min low steady state just to take care of the build up but my legs hurt too much to even bother today

Nothing noteworthy yet to mention. But hit up some riot pwo and once that riot gets going we be looting all sorts of gainz

And no leg day is complete without the most anabolic substance on earth:

Was really satisfied with how today’s chest workout went.

Bench
Warmed up with 2x5 45,135

4x6. 185,185,190,195. 200x5,205x4

These numbers are well below what I normally hit but it’s the heaviest I’ve been able to go without shoulder pain in a long time. A theme today.

Db incline 65x8,75x6, 70x6, 65x7

Db incline with a 2-2-2 time scheme. The hold at the top isn’t that hard but the negative is tight but that hold on the bottom makes these light weights feel heavy as heck. Went with as long as it took me to get up and get the next set of dbs for rest.

45x10,35x12,25x15,15x20

Db incline fly. 3-3-3 scheme.

The stretched portion sucks lol
3x15 15,20,25

Bb floor press 45x15,95x15,135x13

Leverage decline machine. Went alternating arms here. One arm is always in the stretched position while the opposite is moving. Like pistons

1 set 45 each side 30 reps

Triceps
1 arm reverse grip pd 5x50

Rope overhead extensions 20x24

Vbar pd 2x15 35,50

Rope pd bfr set 15x30,21,21. Excruciatingly brilliant

Abs
Kneeling rope crunch 3x20 95,100,100

Kneeling rope crunch oblique version 70x20,80x14,72.5x16

Bent knee hip raises 3x15

Vacuums 3x30 seconds


It’s still early, but man I felt beastly again today. My traps look huge to me and feel huge too. And I don’t know if others experienced ravaging hunger but I just have been hungry all day long today.

Macros: 77 fat 340 carbs 310 protein

As each day goes on I’m starting to notice things. I have this “huge” feeling all day long and l feel like a hulk post workout for hours. My dad even commented on my traps looking bigger of course he called it neck area lol. But I’ve felt that myself so nice to see it wasn’t just my mind playing tricks.

Second thing I’ve noticed so far is now for two days in a row I just can’t eat enough as the hunger is unreal.

Third thing I typically get crazy doms two days post leg day and today just a tiny bit of quad sorenes. So I feel it’s helping there as well.

Last thing I’ve noticed so far is I’ve been extra attentive to all the women around lately. Well ok not all of them. So I see this definitely helps with libido as well.

And yeah been having some great sessions since I’ve started so far

Back day

Rack pull
3x5. Done very slowly 45,135,225
3x3. 315,365,405
3x1. 455,465,495
315x13. Just so I could see how many I could do. Probably could’ve got 1 maybe 2 if a gun was to my head but stopped there

Bent over row
135x15,185x10,205x5

Reverse grip bent over row
135x15,145x12,135x16

Vid will be up later on ig. Been working to get more parallel with the heavy sets, making great progress but probably still a little too upright yet.

Ss
Seated vbar row 200x8, 2x6 220,225
Wide grip pulldown 100x11,85x13,70x15

Went ultra slow on the pulldown

Straight arm pulldown 30x30 first 20 nice a slow with a sigh like pause at thighs

Biceps
Ez bar curl complex. 70 lbs
Nonstop one after the other
Close grip 10 reps
Preacher 9 reps
Wide grip 10 reps
Spider 5 reps

Two min rest
21s

Bfr set alt db curl 20x30,15,15

Calves

Standing calf machine 400-4x5

Seated calf 85x13,75x14, 65x15

Bfr set. Calf on leg press 360x30,15,15

Seriously if u guys can get a hold of some bfr bands I highly recommend it, it is painful at times but the pumps are insane
