Good luck with continuing with your transformation and diet.

I will need to be going on a better diet to slim down some myself.

Bench 190x3, 215x3, 245x4 (Bit disappointed here, wonder if the shoulder tweak from last weeks flyes is playing a role here. Next week we try for 255, if the reps are comparable, I will indeed be impressed.)

Been a very active day. Got home after the gym and mowed my mother's yard then packed the kids in the car and took them to the lake, ate my cheat meal at Pondorosa on the way home Ribeye and buffet. Am likely over 300g protein and at least 26g BCAA.
 
Pretty quiet day today, just church and chillin' then a 7.5 mile bike ride with my sister. (She is near her goal of 350 miles for the summer starting in June, very proud of her.)

Also, started to incorporate some grapefruit into my diet, whole, fresh ruby reds for the fat mobilization and decreasing of first pass liver metabolism. Will try to get in at least once a day.

Dietary as follows: 2697 cals (195 {42 of which was from 2 grapefruit} [minus 29 fiber] for a total of 166 carbs, 213 protein [+12g BCAA], 123 fats) with an estimated burn of 3874 for a deficit of 1177.

Dietary info later
 
Ok, finished the nights activity with a 40 minute bike ride with the kids.

Kind of let the carbs get a bit out of hand today but it was all pretty clean, a good portion of it came from 2.5 red grapefruits, I am becoming compulsive with those damn things.

Anyways, here is the nutritional info for today:

2646 cals (263 [minus 34 fiber]=229 carbs, 248 protein [+28g bcaa which should easily compensate for me being off my protein target by 12 protein]75 fats) with an estimated burn of 4412 for an deficit of 1766.
 
We'll have to call you ruby red!

That would definately be one name I have never been called before!

Dietary for today: 2491 cals (142 [minus 27 fiber] = 115 carbs [40 from grapefruit], 230 protein {+12bcaa), 120 fats) with an estimated burn of 3474 for a deficit of 983.
 
Ok, we have ran 9 days at 4ml/day with no sides or issues, decided to kick it up to 6 with 2 pre WO and one post WO. At that rate, we should have about 34 days worth left depending on how much has been wasted with "extraction issues." Must admit, did feel a considerable boost with the 2ml dose pre-wo, admittedly, that is very subjective. If that goes well and finances allow, I may go for a 3rd bottle to run at 8ml/day.

Have also decided that even though my shoulders feel like they could use the deload, I am going to forgo my light week and go back to week one status (5's at 65/75/85% training max/) Training maxes for this time around will be 200 for OH BB Press, 390 for Deads, 275 for bench and 390 for squats.

Day 3, wk3 (MC 3 of 5/3/1), 5a OHP day 10.

Seated wide grip DB Curl (Not sure what to call these, still trying to focus on the inner head. Sat down, tucked elbow into side, rotated lower arm to about a 30 degree angle relative to my thigh and curled the DB slowly to my front delt, very effective) @25's 12/12, 12/12, 12/12.

Cardio was a 20 minute bike ride with my 8 year old he seemed determined to leave me in the dust. This was "more than casual."

Dietary for today: 3140 cals (232 {minus 40 fiber} = 192 carbs {includes one grapefruit}, 264 protein {+16g BCAA), 141 fats) with an estimated burn of4338 for a deficit of 1198.

Got a bit off track on the diet today for an off day. Thing is, the extra cals came from grapefruit and a late supper that was a salad with fresh tomato and swiss. (Would have saved a lot of cals if I went Italian instead of ranch) but it was all clean today.

Oh trust me, it is already. This started in around June of 2010, Doc diagnosed it as bursitis in the Rotator cuff. Got it doing incline DB flyes. Very slow healing process, damn near 9 months (because I refused to shut down) costizone, prednisone and multiple NSAID's. Thought I had it behind me till I did some flat bench flyes about 3-4 weeks ago, has gotten progressively more tender. At this point, it hurts more after chest day than delt day, which is weird. So basically I have few choices, avoid nearly all upper body work for about 2-3 weeks, try to avoid anything that really makes it hurt or finish this cycle and then take a week off. At this time, I am going with the latter option, but am considering dropping the lateral raises as these are an immediate pain spiker. Have been icing it almost nightly.

Appreciate your concern :)
 
I've had a similar shoulder issue the last 2.5 months. It's pressing movements like bench press that make it hurt more than shoulder exercises for me too. I laid off benching and did dips as my main chest building exercise since it didn't hurt my shoulder surprisingly. I'm slowly working my way back up in pressing movements, though the pain is still there, but it's much less now.

Kind of let the diet go to hell this weekend. Planned cheat day on Saturday, like a dumb ass, repeated it Sunday but have kept things pretty tight today. The shoulder seems to be feeling better but being on the computer too long irritates it. Nothing to report as far as the PH goes. Back to business tomorrow, starting the heavy phase. Lifting days will likely be Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday by necessity this week. No way I am skipping deload this time around.
 
When you say nothing to report on the PH side, could you explain? Is it doing nothing for you?

Sorry. Allow me to clarify. I should have said "nothing new to report on the PH side". Overall I am leaning out (based on caliper) and gaining some weight and seeing some nice strength gains. (was very pleased with 250x6 bench, shoulder issues and all). No change in libido, BP and blood glucose remain stable, no change in libido. Possibly a small amount of testicular atrophy (no objective measure) but no appreciable sides at this time. Been a nice run thus far.

Sorry. Allow me to clarify. I should have said "nothing new to report on the PH side". Overall I am leaning out (based on caliper) and gaining some weight and seeing some nice strength gains. (was very pleased with 250x6 bench, shoulder issues and all). No change in libido, BP and blood glucose remain stable, no change in libido. Possibly a small amount of testicular atrophy (no objective measure) but no appreciable sides at this time. Been a nice run thus far.

Welcome aboard and thank you Sir. In all fairness, I think it is only fair to warn you that at this time, I am not so much focused on cutting but rather maintaining and increasing strength.
 
Day 2, wk 3 (5/3/1 altered mesocycle 3) 5a OHP day 30.
5:05-6:15

Dead lift -290x5, 330x3, 370x3 (Very happy with this, but was told by an older gentleman whom I trust that I am using too much back and need to drop my bottom and pull more with my legs, will be able to handle more weight then. Will work on amending this during my deload next week. Regardless this is plus 10 pounds with 2 more reps than my last heavy week)

Assisted Pull up 215 - 8/8/8/6+PR

V bar cable row @ 190
12/12/12/12

Romanian Dead lift @ 275
10/10/8

Hanging leg raise (straight/bent)
15/15, 15/10, 10

Dietary for today: 3011 cals (175 carbs, 255 protein [plus 16g bcaa], 142 fats) with an estimated burn of 4145 for a deficit of1034.

Did note that my back felt really tight during DL warm ups, not sure if this was muscular or back pumps but given the input I got tonight regarding the DL's, I am leaning towards muscular. If it continues, will add some Taurine to the regimen and if that handles it, we will no what it is.

I think aesthetics are good, but strength is better ;)

For the standard deadlift try to remember to keep your shoulders back/behind the bar. So that you are pulling it up and back towards you.

If you wanna see this go look up youtube's Dave Tate's deadlift help or something like that. I've pulled my back around 5 times on the deadlift cause i'm an idiot. Hopefully it happens no more....

no offense but 190lbs OH press for 3 reps is MEAN for someone <190lbs and natural.

props on the weightloss, though

None taken. It's more about where I am going than where I have been. As to the "natural part" admittedly I violated that line in November of 2010 with a Halotest run. 5 a OHP is only the second PH/DS I have ever run, so it is not like I have been doing this stuff for years. None the less, your point remains, at my size 190x3 is not "impressive". Then again, I have never lifted to impress anyone, what I do I do for me :)
 
9/9/11 Day 3, wk3 (Altered Mesocycle 4) 5a OHP day 31
5:10-6:15

Bench 205x5, 230x3, 260x3+1 FR. Must be my week for form checks. Spotter informed me that I was bringing the bar down on my mid to upper chest and need to move it down a bit. Did not even realize I was doing this. 5 more pounds and matched reps from last heavy week here.

Incline DB Press @ 85's
12/11/8 +1PR. (Shoulder really started hurting here so I backed off)

Decline Bench @185
10/10/8

Assisted Dip (BW+shoes etc minus assist weight) 258
8/8/5

Wide Grip straight bar pushdown
160-12/12, 170-12/12

Did 60/80/100 percent max resist on stepper for 5 minutes/stage with a one minute drop down, sprinted the last 60 seconds of each stage. Up and down the ladder so to speak. 31 minutes (includes warm up and cool down) for 165 cals.

Dietary for today: 3281 cals (220 carbs, 265 protein [+18g bcaa], 140 fats) with an estimated burn of 4199 for a deficit of 918. Lots of fresh fruit today including grapefruits, nectarines and white and black grapes.
 
9/11/11 dAY 4, Wk 3 (Altered Mesocycle 4) 5a OHP day 33
1:30-2:30 pm.

Squat: 290x5, 330x3, 370x3 (Am very happy with this, these were the tightest, deepest "heavy" squats" I think I have ever done. Got down to parallel and paused "in the hole" before I came back up, complete control. Could have maybe squeezed out 1-2 more reps, but had no spotter and did not want to blow the moment so to speak by bailing or getting cheap!)

Paramount Squat Press: @430 (plate weight only)
15/15/15/15

Lying Leg Curl (Different machine = more weight than last week)
120-12, 130-12/12/9

Leg Extension (Different machine = more weight than last week)
260 - 12/12/12/12

Nautilus Ab Crunch @ 160
25/25/20
