Bacon doughnuts with dolce de leche and coffee ice cream.
Then I tasted one.
It was so good it made you wanna smack someone's grand momma. Yeah I know...but they were that good, for a second there I lost my mind was gone.
They were soft...Hot, fresh out the what ever the hell they used to cook them. Then they had some sort of like caramel sauce on them and then there were bacon bits (as in bits of bacon and not that cheap stuff from the supermarket) drizzled all over them. they were amazing.
OH man does that look good. I would lose my friggin mind if i saw those!!!

Tren is now in full force that should chop away at any excess fat to date, was supposed to conclude Wednesday next week but if I continue to see no progestin sides i may stick with it for 8 weeks

Also that tendon was really agrrevated by the 395 x 5 so much so im prob going to take 3 days off in a row
I talked this over with Chris and he has helped come up with a solution so that i cn continue to make progress but give the tendon a chance to heal here is the plan
"Back it down and Do some work with volume or multiple sets. This way you stimulate the needed hyperteophy. Finish with Some lockouts or something similiar that puts at or above your target weight in your hands to prime your nervous system for handling these weight. Doing this will allow you to make the progress torques your goal but not put the maximum strain to aggravate that tendon till it can heal some more.
Example. Instead of 395x5. Only work up to 365x5 but do 4 sets at that weight
Also that last little bit towards chest is likely the part that is getting you. Do they have a piece of foam or foam roll at your gym that you can stuf under your shirt? This will relaid the last part of the lift on your chest for now. A lot of gyms have a 6" roll or something like that. Let the bar sink into it and pause to break the eccentric and concentric phases of lift. This will make it a little harder but get a paoitive training effect from a lesser weight. "

Sounds like a solid plan. Taking the 3 days off will probably do a lot of good as well. Will you be running or anything (cardio) during those days or just eating right and resting up?

Chest
Ill go has heavy as 395 x 5 but ill use the 6" foam and ill set the bands so they take about 35-40 lbs off of the load at chest level I will let the weight sink into the foam pausing at the eccentric and concentric phase of the lift, this will put the target weight in my hands to prime my nervous system for handling these weighta. Doing this will allow me to make the progress torques of my goals but not put the maximum strain to aggravate that tendon till it can heal some more.

The foam block at my gym was just to solid and apparently will be good for overload work later on
So what i did was set up bands from the top of the power rack to the bar in such a way that it would give me exactly 45lb assist at chest level 10-15 midway zero at lock out....
Performed working sets if x 5 up to 365 unassisted the added the bands
385 x 5
395 x 5
405 x 5
415 x 5 x 2
Having that assistance at the bottom made all the difference in the world to the way my tendon feels right now yet my nervous system got to feel the full weight at the top
Inclines un assisted
225 x 12
275 x 12
315 x 6 Didnt wanna push any more
Some cables from the bottom in place of declines
Ill take a picture of the set up next time and i think im gonna order one of those Elite Fitness sling shots also Chris said you simulate the sling shot with bands
"take a band (folded in half so its about16-20ish inches long) put your arms through it so its just above your elbows on your triceps and runs across your chest. Should look just like how the slingshot is worn in that video. That will then support you as you get to the bottom of the bench press'
I was already underway when i got this solid little piece but ill try next time for sure

I like that band shiat eddy, i may start using that for deads
cause my working sets on squats is 430 bench is 260, and deads is only 330. Im thinking these bands will help increase work load on deads
YUH
Eddy your a machine!

Good thanks,
I think that band set up worked great felt no real pain during and more importantly none the day after or the next... I hope that set up is enough to keep me at least at maintenance in terms of strength gains... Was very nice to have 415 x 5 up there although not a real 415 of course
The only pain i felt was when my spotter removed the bar and racked it he used the old grab and drop technique which really sucks when your tendon is not 100%... It was the full 415 at lock-out and when he removed the bar from my hands to quick all that weight being released quickly sent a shudder through my arm... I had to tell him "please dont rack it unless i fail and even then nice and slow and ease the bar back into the rack" even when racking myself i could tell a huge difference from not dropping the bar back in the rack but slowly easing it down allowing the pressure to release from the tendon nice and slow and not all at once....
Injuries will teach you a lot about your body and your technique
I didnt do tris or shoulders that day because i didnt want to over do it but im looking forward to the next chest session, ill do exactly the same but make sure i get my 3-4 sets shoulders or tris in
Legs yesterday
Was OK but i had to cut a bit short as ive had a lot of personal stuff going on lately (Also caused diet to be a bit off in terms of cals) this is a shame as i wanted to hit legs extra hard we will call the last 7 days a wash in terms of gains but a good learning curve...
I feel like today i can do anything except legs nothing has really been overworked so I have a mate who is in town and he is big chap i would love to hit gym together later this evening before going out, the wife has taken a 7 day sabbatical from me
Last day of Tren Ace yesterday concludes 6 week run
Holding steady at 235lbs :ugh2:

No. They will only be used if I attempt 500 but at this point I seriously doubt that is going to happen
I was planning to run either halostein or M1T for last 30 days culminating in attempt at 500 I would hvae dosed just on day of that attempt but tendon is slowing has slowed progress. I should have started the 10 week bench program that Kabuzki prepared for me but I'm on hold, I will hit that up as soon as I can but I'm gonna be behind and doubt ill be able to catch up but at the end of the day I'm still very pleased and think ill get close

If you can get REAL M1T??? Wow, lucky. Liquid or caps?
I don't think I'll take it again, but when I did, it shredded me.
I'm with you on the tendon thing tho bro. Slow it down and plan for the 500 for a time when that tendon has had enough time to recover. You are way to far to injur yourself that bad. It'd put you too far behind IMO. But you're a beast and you're still killing it.
Did coffee the other day turn into more???
