Same here. It's one natty test-booster that I haven't tried for some reason. I've used about every other brand though. I'll have to give old Chuck's shizz a spin. It gets great reviews everywhere. Sounds very solid.
 
Shaddow. 9.2 lbs. is very substantial when considering you are using natty substrates like Activate, IGF-2, and PRIME. That's very decent gains. It testifies of your dedication to training and diet to get the most out of these compounds. Good work young warrior!! :clap2:

I hate it when the libido is on the fritz, especially when it's for a prolonged period of time, which is why I'm considering the addition of Diesel Test Hardcore and Tsunami by Get Diesel.

How come the actual product is spelled "Sunami" - It really chaps my ass. I've seriously sat in my computer chair for probably an hour collectively trying to figure out if there was really any purpose for the spelling change, but I can't figure out one.

Chuck can't spell?

That's all the rage these days... misspelling things for the sake of misspelling things.

Kinda annoys the crap out of me too.

Day 33: Thursday, October 23

Weight: 191.6 (+10.8!)

Quite a jump in weight again!

Workout #16 on stack - Back & triceps!!!

Bodyweight pull-ups
12
10
8

I have been stuck at these numbers forever, and I have to fight for them. When I was low carbing this past summer (leanest I've been) I could do 20 pull ups, but ever since I brought the carbs back up my numbers have come down. I should probably switch to heavy pulldowns for a while. Ya think??

One arm dumbbell rows
85 x 12
95 x 10
105 x 8

Same as last week. These were tough, but I gutted them out. Still not ready to go up though.

Cable rows
190 x 12
205 x 10
220 x 6 - PR

I don't think I've ever stacked the cable row machine, so I suppose that would be a PR.

T-bar rows
90 x 12
135 x 8

These started to hurt my sternum for some reason, so I decided to hit:

Alternating one-armed Hammer Strength Iso-Pulldowns
45 x 15
70 x 12
80 x 10
90 x 8

Triceps time!! :aargh::aargh::aargh:

Skullcrushers
40 x 12 - Elbow didn't feel so hot.
60 x 1 - **** that.

How can I hit my triceps more comfortably and with more support?

Close-grip Smith press

135 x 15
185 x 12
205 x 10
225 x 8

I haven't pushed 225 on any type of press in a while. Which is sad. LOL. I need to start incorporating some barbell work of some kind. That's something I have really been slacking on. I always do dumbbell presses, and the last time I tried barbell pressing 185 I got nervous and put the weight back down. My neuromuscular response and muscular recruitment are way outta whack on the barbell from ignoring it for so long. I was actually pressing 100# dumbbells, but I couldn't put up my own bodyweight on the barbell. LOL. True story!

Rope triceps extensions
120 x 12
150 x 10
175 x 5
175 x 5 DROP TO:
125 x 9

Done.
 
awesome numbers on back man. keep it up!

and i feel ya on the DB to BB move for chest. i was hitting 100's for flat press for 8 reps max, but i tried BB flat press and i could barely get a set of 6 with 185! WTF!

First of all, great job on those seated cable rows!! That's some nice weight you're tossing around there. Next, your elbows. Is it just one elbow, or are both hurting? You could get a couple of those slip on neoprene supports to wear. I do when I go uber-heavy. Which is most of the time. LOL They feel great though dude. They not only give a compression-type support, but the neoprene rubber also helps to hold the heat in around the joint during exercise. I got mine at Wal-Mart years ago. I think they still have them. Is it just the skull-crushers that are causing so much agony? You may have to substitute another exercise for them. There are certain movements that I never perform as they feel un-natural to me and my body. Try the 2-handed DB extensions behind the head. Those are great!! Keep up the awesome work shaddow. You're puttin' on the mass now!! :woohoo:
 
I get the same kind of discomfort from one handed (behind the head) DB extensions that you are getting from skull crushers. I don't get that feeling from the crushers though...so I wish I could help you out on that. With one handed Db extensions...I just stopped doing them. It wasn't like a soreness from a good lift..it was outright pain.
 
Shaddow...
For tri's I like to do to pushdowns with a bar then reverse my grip to the outsides of the bar and do pulldowns with them... Then I grab the rope and do overhead extensions from the bottom pulley above my head... just an idea for ya.
 
Yah at contest time when I'm weak as a kitten I can do plenty of body weight exercises like pullups, in the off season when I am at my heaviest and strongest I am lucky if I can do 2 or 3 pullups. Weight makes such a big difference, yah do some heavy pulldowns but if you can still do pullups I would keep them im my arsenal.
 
I used to get slight elbow discomfort from skull crushers as well, and switched to close grip extensions with an EZ-bar lying on a 45 deg. incline bench. No more pain.

Head crushers are a dumb exercise... You will get more out of an extension exercise every time. I like decline tri extensions with a olympic bar, incredible results for the back of your tri's.

My tris didnt grow until I added decline EZ-bar extensions. I alternate between BB and EZ. How do you feel about reverse-grip bench presses?

Reverse grip bench is baller bro! Def brings out those tris!

I am a big fan of close grip bench reverse not so much.

Concerning extensions.. it is very technique specific you have to push out (extend) not up and it really works better from a declined position. I have a extra bump at the bottom of my arms because of this exercise. Really makes your arms look bigger.
 
Yo shadow! Where the weed at?!

People rapping about stupid crap reminds me of songs little kids sing. Like songs about ice cream and candy, or about birthday presents and cake.

Where is the substance in this music?

Sweet bro, looks like that was a pretty intense session, i like your style, your no doubt still asleep, you gotta wake up bro, and keep loggin.

Russian
 
Nice job with the shrugs Shaddow, I imagine when your traps are flushed with blood they must look like small tumors, because of how lean you are.
 
lol ok.... just hadnt seen that mentioned for some time no??? also this log doesnt include anything hormonal so I just supposed when he posted without a direct quote that it was in reference to the log he posted in.
 
I cant wait until after my workout in a little bit. I'm running a PCT of a shake with some whey, oats, flax, and a banana....yum! :cheers:
 
How much product do you have left to run shadow, I am anxious to see what happens on a long run..
 
He came out and when the doctor spanked him, he sort of did a crunch response and bam, 6 pack.

I've heard of this before, spontaneous sixpackademia.

LOL, if it were only that simple, i get spanked every day, but no such luck, guess im a non responder, but i still like it.:whip:
 
Shaddow!! Where are you??!! You had better be getting some tail to avoid us all weekend! :D
 
****! My bad guys! My internet connection was ****ed all weekend and I couldn't get online. Dammit. :frustrate :rant: :mad: And I was trying to use the weekend to get caught up. I got lots done around the house at least. Lemme post my weekend updates and then I'll try to play catch up as best I can this morning.
 
Day 35: Saturday, October 25

Weight: 190.6 (+9.8)

Off day. I slept 14 hours Friday night and woke up late in the afternoon on Saturday. LOL. Crazy, huh? I'm really starting to feel the effects of not sleeping enough during the week. I feel like if I could get another hour or two on weeknights I'd recover better, lift more, grow more, etc., so I'm gonna try and get more done in less time so I can work on this. I've traditionally gotten by on 5-6 hours of sleep per night, but with the heavy lifting I've been doing lately it's just not enough and by Friday I am crashing hard and sleeping forever. Hopefully I can get this balanced out soon.
 
Day 36: Sunday, October 26

Weight: 191.6 (+10.8)

Another off day. Slept well again. Got my cooking done in the evening.

My Skins weren't getting anything done scorewise in the first half against (0-7) Detroit, but they came to life in the 2nd half. Santana Moss took a punt return 80 yard for a TD and caught a 50-yard TD pass, one of 9 receptions for 140 yards. Campbell was 23-28 for 328 yards and, once again, no picks. And my boy Clinton Portis ran for 120+ yards for the 5th straight game for the 2nd time in his career, joining OJ Simpson in this exclusive club. He had 126 yards on 24 carries, and now has 944 on the season through 8 games.

Playing @ Pittsuburg next week, and then New York is coming to FedEx Field the week after. Gonna be interesting these next couple weeks...

Go Skins! :woohoo:

I am coming down to the final days. :( This was planned to be a 40-day run. I have enough AE & AX to last until Friday, and I'll end up with some extra IGF-2 & Prime.

I kinda feel like if I stop this cycle @ the 40 day mark I will be quitting prematurely, cuz I've been feeling really good effects the past couple weeks. The results thus far have been great, and I have made good gains in size and strength, but the libido, aggression, and alpha male mentality have just kinda kicked in in the past couple weeks. If I decided to run this stack an additional 20 days, I'd need to pick up extra bottles of AE & AX. What do you guys think? Keep running the natty products? Or dive head first into the P-Plex/T-Roid? :twisted:

LOL. Ummm... I mean, I've always been pretty lean. Just work hard, devise a good routine, switch it up every so often, lift heavy, eat clean, healthy and often, get plenty of rest, and I'm sure you'll get there. :)

I knew it! He was born ripped!

Sixpackademia!!!
 
I just realized that today is my last chest workout on this stack. :(

My left elbow feels a little uncomfortable, and it's raining and cold here and I haven't been in the greatest of moods today. BUT - all that needs to change NOW.

Time to go tear **** the **** up!!! :aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh:



ZOMMMMMBIEEEEES!!!!
