Ready to hit it hard this second week of the transformation contest. Tightened up some last week but need to get the diet better to see some more progress.
Supplements are doing good. Going into my second week of MassGH; still dosing only 1 pill a day along with another pill of Ghar1ne. So getting 4mg of LGD and 20mg of Ghar1ne.
 
Wasn't aware you had started the MASS GH, I missed that. But very interested as I will be starting it in a little over a month. You ever notice how similar our cycle patterns are to each other Red? It's uncanny!!

Great minds thing alike lol
I had planned on starting it next month but when I decided to do the friendly transformation contest I figured I might as well do it for that 8 week cycle.
Then plan on bridging into a DMZ/DermaTrest 6 week cycle.
 
Nice work Red! You are definitely making some progress!

Felt a little worn down yesterday between work and coming down with a cold it seems. Trap deads took a lot out of me but got some work done.

Looking like I am not holding water as bad now that I am on my 3rd week of Ghar1ne. Also decided to go back to the 5/2 diet so I can add some carbs into my diet. It has made a big difference on my appearance. Muscles are fuller and have more shape.
Weighing more but looking leaner so that is always a plus.
 
Sounds awesome and some good work.

PS: if you go back to the first post and click edit then go advanced you can rename the thread title to say swoledom instead of soweldom. Sounds like you intend to be a pig when done. ;) I know that ain't the plan because if so you are going the wrong way by leaning up!

Every time I see it I think that it would drive me crazy on my log. Funny considering swoledom is a made up word, that it draws my attention every time I see an update in my subscription list. LOL

I know I am a goof!

LMAO!! all this time and I never even noticed, damn you Chris now that is all I see..lol
I can change it on the first post but the main title doesn't change.

Coming down with a little head cold so was out of it last night but feeling better today so going to get back to my workout tonight.
Also got some terrible news that my father inlaw passed away yesterday so will be taking care of things the next few days with my wife.

Overall happy were I am heading with my physique, looking leaner but fuller. Working on tightening up the diet some more and look forward to seeing where I can go with this.
 
Oh dang, Red! Your progress is looking amazing!
 
Sorry about the news and I hope your head cold doesn't last long. Also following your posts in the transformation thread. Great work man.
 
Making some great and obvious progress like I said. Sorry to hear about the Father in Law. Hope you all find some peace in this time of loss.

You can shoot a PM to Admin and he will change it for you just tell him some yahoo pointed it out to you and it is driving you nuts. They will do it no problem and no one will lose the subscription.

Thank you, cold is just about over. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with this 8 weeks.

Have to say after two weeks on GHMass I am liking what I am seeing. Weight is up but looking leaner. Starting this week going to reel in the diet since I have a game plan now on what I want to do.
Will work on getting another progress pic up, not much change from next week but want to stay with weekly pics to see whats going on.

Week 3 of GHMass and I went up to 2 servings. One at noon and one at night. So dosing 8mg of LGD and 20mg of Ghar1ne.
Definitely can see this working. My diet has not been great but my weight is up but looking leaner and harder.
Been weighing between 265 to 270 the last week.

I am cleaning up the diet this week cause I really want to see what I can do for this 8 week transformation and how GHMass is going to work with a cleaner diet in place with my workouts.

Decided to do a DoggCrapp inspired workout with some rest pause training. Really do enjoy this type of training.
 
Yesterday was an off day and my body needed it. These 12 hour days 7 days a week is catching up to me.
Weight is up to 270 but looking leaner and feeling pumped all the time.
Also had that moment when I looked in the mirror and surprised myself on how big I am looking..lol
 
You've surely earned the rest.
 
Taking a few days off from training. Strained something in my forearm the other day but feeling much better today and will get back to training tomorrow.
Also just feeling run down from 7 weeks of working with no days off but no excuses going to get back on it. Overall diet has been good but can get better.

Use some machines and avoid DB's your first few days back so nothing is more forearm intensive than it has to be. Everything upper body can be an issue for them when recovering so think open handed pressing preferably on a machine, false grip or strapped back work, things like that.

Weight to for the start of Week 4 transformation is 268 pounds. Since I have add carbs back in I am not getting those big weight fluctuations from the water weight. So have been staying around 270.
Since starting MassGH 3 weeks ago my weight has gone up a good 6 to 8 pounds but with looking leaner.
I am going into week 4 of MassGH and dosing 2 caps, so 8mg of LGD and 20mg of Ghar1ne.

For my diet I went to a calorie cycle diet and seems to worked really well this past week. Trying out something where I keep my meals around the 700 calorie range and then adjust how many meals I eat for that day.
Monday/Thursday- 2 meals
Tuesday/Friday-3 meals
Wednesday/Saturday-4 meals
Sunday- Free day

Just something I am trying out and playing around with, will see how it goes again this week.

Hoping this is my last week of turnaround and will finally get back to my regular 9 hour days with my weekends off. The lack of sleep is really hurting my recovery and just desire to get in the weight room.

Look forward to another week of progress!
 
Dang, Red! Your wife is one lucky woman! ??

So I came across Layne Nortons routine PH3. A mix of his Power/Hypertrophy with the Big 3 lifts and decided to give it a try. The plan is laid out over 13 weeks and I like a program like this that I can follow for strength and mass gains.
I had a lot of success with 5/3/1 cause it was based off of percentages and just appeals to me.

So this was Day 1, nothing to hard but that is how the program is laid out, so you can continue to make progress throughout.

Last day of my 12 hour days, going back to 9's tomorrow and will have my weekends off so ready to kick this into overdrive and really make some progress.

MassGH is still treating me great.
 
Catching up the past week in here. Must say that most recent pic shows noticeable changes in many areas. Separation of body parts is more apparent. Good work man especially with the work schedule.

So yesterday was an Upper Body Hypertrophy day. On the main lifts it is recommended to not train to failure so I will have some Reps In Reserve or R.I.R.
Also doing some Occlusion training or Blow Flow Resistance B.F.R training. This is where you wrap something above the muscle you are working to apply pressure so blood can go in the muscle but can't flow back out.

Have to make some adjustments to a few of the weights but overall this was a great workout and got an amazing pump.

Doesn't seem like a lot but my legs are feeling it this morning.
Was a good first week of training on PH3.

Starting Week 5 of MassGH. Still dosing at 2 per day but will add in one dose of Ghar1ne.
So that will put me at 8mg of LGD and 30mg of Ghar1ne. I will run this for two weeks then for the last 2 weeks I will bump to 3 MassGH.
Happy with the progress so far, weight is holding steady between 268 and 270. Going to push it a little harder to lean out some over the last few weeks of our Transformation Contest.

Been following along just don't post much. Do you have more of a layout for the PH3, reps, rest etc ? I found the routine but it is just the days that you are supposed to lift..
