DMA's Never Satisfied Training Log

Yah I can relate to the volume, I am starting overreaching this week so it's going to get nasty for me. I have a client doing it now and just reminds me of how nasty it can get :(
 
And by Sunday, I meant Wednesday. Well Tren No Ester is real folks. Bites a little bit after going in, and hit my chest in about an hour. Decent session, slept like crud I think anticipating the Tren.

So cycle for the next 60 days not including last 2 weeks of Epistane:

Tren 300mg/week (125 e3d)
Test 185mg/week (80 e3d)
Mast 465mg/week (200 e3d)

Yah seem to have more muscle volume too. Maybe it's the big but you look bigger.

And thanks for the encouragement fellas. As far as BF, I don't know. Still probably 12%, just making 12% look better with the added fullness.

I feel like there is actually a nice aesthetic separation now from the torso and the hip. Those love handles are a constant battle for me, but I'm freaking winning right now!!

Lol bro don't go there ... talking about love handles u got none, I have love handles u DON'T haha.

Bro it's been a lot of work (and help) getting them to where they are now.

Go look at pic on page 92 LOL

omg I didn't read wha u were taking or what was ur diet but bro , oh hell no hahha day and night... good job u did that in the course of 3 month
screw u senators anabolics for the win.
 
So thought I'd do a little side by side, but can't get them side by side lol. How about top and bottom?

Jesus a little tan goes a long way too!! 3 months progress.

Awesome progress, you are a shining example of what discipline and consistency can do.

Thanks Chris. And I'm a firm believer that the results are because of adjustments to my training and diet. While cycling is great and helps things happen along faster, there is no way they do the work on their own. At least not with my genetics and metabolism. Even when using supps and gear I have to focus, sacrifice and really dial it in. I'm not a blessed case with this stuff at all.
 
But also that Winter-bod picture was semi-intentional. I stopped tracking calories and macros, gave myself a break, stopped doing cardio for like 4 months and ate a ton of whatever. Lee Priest style. And I feel like I did pack on a bit of dirty muscle that is showing itself now.

Bro, that is freaking awesome progress
 
Taper is looking insane now. Totally different shape to you
 
That set of pics really brings things in perspective. Lookin like one of my transformations :) I can get pretty beefy sometimes and it makes for a big difference when you get down.
 
Slept like crap!! Think I'll take tomorrow off and get a little extra sleep and take a cocktail tonight to ensure it. Still had a decent session though. I think the Mast is coming on, zero nipple sensitivity and my joints are aching. So will not take anymore Exemestane going forward. That "supposed" Mast Prop really F-ed me up. But seem to be on track now. Epistane and Mast is dry enough and may need to supplement to accomodate.

If you want to sleep like the dead take 1 tablespoon Robatussin, 2-3 valerian root, and 10-15mg melatonin. Worked like a charm when I needed a "coma" to help me deal with my separation lol. You'll sleep at least 10 hours.

We have been discussing flexible dieting style and how if you meet your macros you can substitute and lose far still (depending). Your micros should be on at least 80% of the time on average. You could probably increase that with IF style diet.

Absolutely, I will use my current cycle as an example. Although I am making accelerated progress for the work I am able to do this has been a very challenging cycle for me due to being plagued with stomach issues for some reason. My current results are simply no where near what you have going on now, but could be if I had been able to put in the work and consistent nutrition the way you have.

For me I am pretty much going to have to try to maintain leanness or risk falling back into a soft look very quickly. With my body I can go from looking very impressive to having moobs in just a few lbs... unfortunately those lbs are gained VERY easily.

If you want to graduate to even more challenge try these with DB's or Kettlebells. Not having the bar connecting the weights making them more stable the DB's are much harder to maintain at height and will work you even harder. If you want to increase the focus on medial then hold them just outside your shoulders so gravity isn't just pushing straight down.
 
IF shreds you like crazy. Once you adapt your workout intensity is jacked and fat falls off your body.

Never tried valerian root. Will look into it. I usually do 12-18mg Melatonin with either 50-100mg Benadryl or 10-25mg of Amitriptylene. Which is actually prescribed to me for sleep. I just don't like taking it everyday. Couple times a week tops, and usually the night before a rest day because it leaves me a bit groggy and my workouts suffer.

Oooh, I like the sound of this. Will definitely try.

Valerian Root is super stinky but you'll get a really deep restful sleep, man the way you and I have to put ourselves down an EKG is almost needed to make sure we wake up again lol

X2. May jump on the BamDan train and end with OHC
Click to expand...

You guys are crazy doing them towards the end of your workouts, although I also do them towards the end of my chest/shoulder day. But on my shoulders only day, I make sure to do them first when I'm nice and fresh.
PS: DO IT! Come to the OHC side, we have strong delts.

I'll be joining this party as well ha. Want more delts. More more more

How does this impact bad shoulders? Side raises make my shoulder pop and sometimes my shoulder pain kills me but then I can go months without an ounce of pain.

I do have joint XT otw, though.

I use these on days when my RC is feeling particularly ****ty

Yep read that awhile back... Just totally forgot about carries. They're kinda difficult to do in a commercial gym just due to the space needed. And pretty much impossible when I'm stuck at hotel or small gyms.

Gotta figure out how to work them in more tho somehow.

Sounds like me, so I'd be curious to know as well. May give them a shot this morning so we'll see I guess...
 
I may try em too. My front delts are pretty massive so hopefully this extends to rear and middle delts for some more balance.

That really depends on the nature of the shoulder issues to be honest. However you are not moving into and out of an impinged area, so it getting it up there does not hurt then carrying it should not either. It is an isometriccontraction that also requires stabilization. So it could actully help with some issues due to strenthening stabilizers. However other issues it might exacerbate. Sorry for the "it depends" answer but the shoulder is such a complicated joint structure that injuries can and do effect all planes of movement.

In all honesty, you do not need a ton of space. You can get away with just walking/ marching in place while holding the weight above the head. You will still require the same amount of stabilization due to the adjustments needed to stabilize the movement with every step.

Also in a hotel you can do timed handstands against the wall. You can do little kicks off the wall to create more need for stabilization. You won't get the same benefit of the legs having to do as much work but the shoulders will be doing more work. On top of that with the shoulders and arms being below the heart the blood will pool in them a little giving you an occlusive effect as well. Want really good shoulders? Make learning how to walk on your hands a priorty.

All in positioning of the hands as far as that goes. Also like I mentioned before, Push up as far as possible but also pull out on the bar and it will activate your medial and posterior delts more. Tray carrying in a wide snatch grip too. YOWZAZ!!!!!
 
Sleep so goooood!! Got 9 continuous hours. Didn't even wake to pee. Feel great with just a touch of cloudiness from the Amitriptylene. 9 hours for me is an eternity. Will get my Pull Hyper session in tomorrow morning.
