DMA Does DMZ Demigod Style (unsponsored)

How is the lethargy and blood pressure on DMZ thus far?
Click to expand...
Lethargy is non existent. Think the Dermacrine and a little caffeine keeps it away. But I have moments that I feel my BP elevated and need some Benadryl to sleep at night because of it. Ha a couple light headaches in 3 weeks, not bad.
 
Nice PRs DMA!!!!
 
Only went over my calorie goal by 1100 today!! Felt good to have a 2nd monster plate at dinner, Tostadas and Spanish Rice with Avocado. I will probably aim to do this a couple days a week going forward. Total macros for the day are: 4249 cals, 260 P, 158 F, 416 C.

Too much fat, but I am going to work on eliminating some fat from my meals starting Sunday when I prep the food and put it together for the week.
But this is where my carbs should be. I realize to get 400 Carbs, 200-250 Pro, 80-100 Fat, my calorie total has to be more like 3300-3400. Not hardly possible at 3100.

Hypertrophy Chest and Triceps today.

HS Wide Press:
70 on each side x 20 x 2 sets
80 on each side x 15 x 2 sets

DB Flys:
45's x 12 x 4 sets

60 x 12 x 4 sets

Dips:

HS Flat Iso Press 1-Arm at a time:
45 x 10 x 4 sets each side
(opposite hand on pec to feel each rep and squeeze)

Oblique Crunches x 3 sets

Rest Day tomorrow.

Biceps and forearms are nice and sore from yesterday. i know that if something is getting sore right now, I worked it good. Because the DMZ is preventing me from getting sore. The curls with Fat Gripz did it. I like them. Not for everything, a few exercises here and there is enough to get the effects.
 
Nice job on the workout and getting you diet all lined out!
Love my Fat Gripz, after you use them awhile it is hard to just use a regular bar

Yeah and I'm surprised I haven't really had to back off on the weight I use, only the rep count because the grip starts to fail.

I added 3 sets of wrist curls twice a week at the end of a workout and now my grip never fails ever!!! Even on super heavy deadlifts. I only need straps for bentover barbell rows because the bar tries to roll.
 
Good to see this stack is working good for you. Getting all my stuff lined out now for my run
 
**** wrist wraps. Lol that's after a good day of dead lifts. And upper back

Excellent!! Dude I'm happy for you. I was just thinking about it. Sleep is a powerful thing man, I need mine too. A few days of shiitty sleep and I'm a different person.
 
So I didn't have to be to work this today until 9:00, so I was able to destroy the gym this morning. Started my new "1 muscle group" routine, Shoulders. Boy did I kill them.
A full week now at 60mg DMZ. I'm dosing 40mg an hour before I workout and 20 the other half of the day. So it was 40 first thing this morning. I am really starting to feel "ON". Even on my off day yesterday, I felt it. The next few weeks should be great.

Breakfast was 2 spoons of PB and 2 packets of oatmeal, 40mg DMZ, cup of coffee, BCAA's intra-workout, bowl of Bran Flakes immediately after gym with a protein shake. Lots of carbs and protein with my workout in the morning is a new feeling. Usually this takes place after I've been awake for like 14 hours. Wish I could do this all the time.

DB Shoulder Press:
30's x 12
45's x 10
60's x 8
60's x 8
70's x 7

Behind Neck OHP:
115 x 8, 7, 7
Super Set
DB Front Raises:
20's x 20
20's x 20
25's x 16

Snatch Grip High Pulls:

Super Set
Rack Shrugs:

Face Pulls:
80 x 10 x 4 sets
Super Set
Reverse Flys on Pec Deck:
85 x 15 x 3 sets
70 x 15 x 1 set

Farmer Walks:

205 x 26 yards no drop
Super Set
1-Arm DB Side Raises:
15 x 10 each side x 4 sets

Ab Rope Cable Pull Downs:
Full Stack x 8 drop to 100 to failure x 3 sets

My shoulders have not been on fire like this in a long time. Think this new formula is going to start to shine.
 
Ok well appetite is officially growing. It would take an enormous amount of restraint to keep this at 3100. It's at dinner time. I have been eating the same meals throughout the day and then the usual dinner is hardly quenching the appetite. After tonight's shake, totals will be: 3883 cals, 239 pro, 124 fat, 462 carb.
3800 may be a little higher than I'm willing to go. When I pack my breakfast, lunch, and snacks for work I'm pretty much locked in to that amount. So I may start decreasing those slightly so that if I am going to be feeding the beast at night, my totals aren't over the top. On most days dinner is right after the gym anyways. Will try to structure the totals around 3400 calories. I mean, the way I'm feeling and the way I can see the next 4 weeks are going to go, might as well get that muscle!! I'll trim after PCT if necessary.
 
Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedCouple progress pics. Mind that it's after a 1600 calorie dinner. But feel thicker and denser. And after waking up 2 days in a row at 190, I can officially say I'm up 3lbs. Shoulders are starting to round and stand out off the arms, which is one of my focal points.

Shoulders are definetely getting rounder!!!

Good job buddy!
 
Nice pics man, that's some motivation to keep me away from the ice cream in my fridge haha
 
Good Back and Bi's workout today. So I've been doing these Kroc Rows enough now to start claiming when I break a PR. Not that I did today, well I did for reps, not for weight. They definitely show a weakness from the right wrist to the left wrist. Which is funny because my right wrist actually has an injury, but the left fails a couple reps sooner on these. So I finish the set with the weighted end of the DB like bent back on top of my wrist and I have to really focus to finish. Hopefully the grip strength will improve with these and with using the Fat Gripz.

Kroc Rows:
90's x 8
100's x 8
105's x 8
110's x 7
110's x 6
110's x 7

BW Pull Ups w/ Fat Gripz: (humbling but effective)
6, 5, 5, 5, 4

Chest Supported T-Bar Rows:
80 x 8 x 4 sets
Super Set
Single Arm Cable Rows:
90 x 10 each side x 4 sets

HS Iso High Row:
105 on each side x 10 drop to 70 to failure x 4 sets

Seated DB Curls on Incline Bench w/ Fat Gripz:
25's x 12
30's x 10
30's x 10
30's x 10

EZ Bar Curls run rack drop set:
60 x 12 drop to 50 (rev. grip) x 10 drop to 40 x 10 drop to 30 (rev. grip) to failure

Double Arm High Cable Curls w/ Fat Gripz:
40 x 10 drop to 20 to failure w/ partials
These are just fun. Like striking a double bi pose in the mirror on total pump!!

Roman Chair Back Extensions:
4 sets x 18

Lats are on point!

Whats your current body part split? I like your volume, I usually do a similar amount
Click to expand...

Thanks man. Well I just went back to 1 major muscle group per workout.

I had been doing:

1)Chest/Deadlifts GVT
2)Lats/Shoulders/Biceps GVT
3)Dips/Squats GVT
4)Chest/Back/Bi's Strength
5)Shoulders/Tri's/Legs Strength

I did this 5 day split for about 3 months.

But now I want to give each group a solid session each workout, so now it's:
1)Shoulder/Abs
2)Back/Bi's
3)Chest/Tri's/Abs
4)legs/Deadlifts

3 on, 1 off. So each group gets it every 5 days.
 
Nice solid work brother! Looks like your liking the fat grips. What color did you get? I know the different colors are the different sizes. I have the blue, I'm hoping in a couple months I can start using mine again.

I have the blue as well. I am liking them. Today was a good test with them. The DB Curls and pull ups. Good thing it's a couple days until deadlifts because forearms are gonna be toast.
 
What's your shoulder routine looking like, I have stalled on all shoulder progress?

I think the GVT got the ball rolling. But I mix all my pressing variations regularly...military, behind neck, DB, BB. And recently started doing presses at the beginning of shoulder workout and again another variation at the end. With all accessory moves in between.
 
your looking super swole and shredded dude. nice job

what was your starting weight and whats your weight now?
 
My metabolism has to be on fire!!! Who knows how many calories and carbs I have to eat to actually gain weight. Again, I'll say that the image in the mirror is changing, so the trade off of fat for muscle HAS to be happening. I'm going to put here my last 5 days calorie and carb intake and then my waking weight.

Tue 3093 cal. 378 carb. 187 lbs
Wed 4249 cal. 416 carb. 187 lbs.
Thu 3151 cal. 318 carb. 190 lbs.
Fri 3883 cal. 462 carb. 189 lbs.
Sat 3593 cal. 386 carb. 189 lbs.

Waking weight this morning: 187 lbs!!!

It is a new ability for me, as when I used to be overweight I could eat an extra carrot and gain 3 pounds!! So yes, a blessing compared to that, but a curse for gains!!
