Fit for February 14th... Or Dead Lift in a DRESS!!!

Screw that. If I'm going out to a restaurant I'm not eating the same stuff I eat at home. Bring me that rare red meat!!

Well then you have rare meat with the right fixins if you have a goal...
Decided to kill legs today. Miss my Sunday lifts. Gonna go get it!
Going in to do back biceps and rear delts here in a minute. Yeah Buddy!
Perfect way to celebrate Sunday - God hates weaklings! I can't remember the verse, but pretty sure that's in the Bible somewhere.... :pat: :dunce:

Agreed an excellent way to spend a Sunday!

Yesterday was a big carb day for me I lowered protein some to get it all in but since I didn't lift I am not worried about it. I am a lil puffy today as a result though.

Macros 200p, 70f, 400c = 3030 calories
I woke up this morning to a thick 210 lbs with a little bit of spill over. When I started this Barbarian was after a huge refeed and I was 206 that day. I look a bit better today than then and definitely bigger. I should be looking lean and full in the next day or two. Going to hit Back Width, Back Thickness Biceps and Rear Delts here shortly should use up a lot of that extra glycogen. Probably going to add in a lil extra biceps actions. After that I will do some HIIT and sauna time... I feel watery, and can see the extra water in my face. In need of sauna time so I don't have to wait around to pee all of it out. :)
 
COULD NOT CATCH MY BREATH ALL DAY!!! Guess that means heavy exertion in short rests...

Lying lex curl 5x10

Squat final 4 sets of 6 reps super setted with split quays 6 per leg.

Hacks 4x10

1 leg leg press machine 4x10

Skipped SLDL. No carbs and very little cals Pwo had me feeling sick as hell. Still a solid lift by any means.
 
You guys make me want to work out harder with these routines. I've been lowering rest, & I can tell my endurance is improving, but I never feel like it's really enough. Guess that's the bigorexia talking tho.
 
Had fun last night watching the old man jam out with so e dudes who haven't seen or played together in 39 years.

Never been hit on by so many old broads in my life. I wore a shirt that used to be a bit loose and it's a bit snug now lol. I'm familiar with the term "cougar" but what comes after that???? Lol
Haven't been the sober guy at a bar in a while was a different experience for sure.

Felt pretty old myself considering I drank 3 black coffees and brought my BCAA+SAA LOL.

Weighed in at 207 even today so it seems whatever bloat I has has subsided mostly. I think I'm just going to judge my carb ups by how I feel instead of a set schedule. Never done it this way before. Any thoughts on this?

Epi should be kicking in late next week hopefully. I'm hoping to put on a few lbs from it or I'll be dead lifting in some damn yoga pants. After looking at this fully a much more reasonable goal would have been to get below 10% while stating over 200lbs. Not quite sure what I was thinking

What epi are you using?
 
Okay so todays lift went pretty well. Although I am feeling a bit rundown today I got in there and did the deed.

Chin Grip Lat Pull Downs - 165x15, Chins BW x12 +5+4+3+3 was pretty rough especially with the couple extra lb's from the carb up.

HS Row Pronated Grip - 45x15, 90x13+5+5+5 was feeling pretty big by the time this was done could feel the pump from the extra carbs filling me up.

Preacher Curls 50x15, 70x13+5+5+5 was a good lift here. Although my right biceps has been giving me trouble lately... I must have pulled it at some point...

Rope Curls 50x20 reps straight into Rope Hammer Curls 50x15 just finishing them off a bit

Face Pulls 80x15, 110x13+5+5+5 had a massive pump going on in the rear delts.

Rear Delt Destroyers - 42.5x60>20x30>10x10 and toast, nothing left in the tank. I did go sit and sweat while coming up with a possible 3 day a week lifting plan including 2 a days on those days...

Looks like this. Basically getting the big movements out of the way in the AM and then hitting arms and the various shoulder angles in the evening where I can easily use my home gym. I would simply hit this EOD with cardio on the days off. Going to concentrate a bit more on losing fat days off and building muscle on training days. Don't know how long I will stick with this layout, I may simply do the one lined out in the MyoReps PDF but this one hits the angles I really want to train right now so I am gonna give it a shot.

Severe tendinitis (or some form of pain) flaring in my right knee. Both sides, hammy and under my teardrop. I fell on the ice in mid December hunting and took a rock in the joint. Its seeming to get worse. I may have to take a few weeks off of legs or figure something out. This kinda sucks.

Do you do any trigger point work around the knees?
 
If you could point me in the right direction for instructions I will! Lol. For real though, just a YouTube search for knee trigger points suffice?

None for knee specifically, but this is a good resource for trigger points.

For me, I try to roll out the IT Band, Adductors, Vastus Medialis/Lateralis, etc.

I hear ya. Last time I went to see a UFC fight (where Silva snapped his leg) .. I left the bar and slammed back a protein shake then went back in lol

you da man. i usually roll the hell out of my it bands. really helps me get depth on squats. between it and my hammies its what really limits my mobility.
 
I use whatever's cheap lmao.

This is my view, especially on Epi but in general. Unless it's straight snakeoil & totally bunk, it's not the end of the world if it's not even the right compound - not cool, but as long as I take the pills & get bigger & stronger & my balls shrink up I'm getting what I paid for lol. And I always have AI's & Prami on hand as sensitive as I am, so I just kind of plan to need them regardless on cycle.

I'm actually gonna finish with epi and mechabol. Don't worry I'm using tons of TUDCA... And I'm shortening my SD run to 3 or 4 weeks.

I ran 5wks of Mbol & chased it down with 3wks of M1T. My pee was clearer than it's ever been on any cycle yet; I was a bit surprised but when Mbol finished & I was still peeing clear I just went for it & listened to my body. You can get away with a lot with good support & not overdoing the dosing. Kept Mbol to 100mg like most advise & was fantastic, & M1T served me handsomely @ 15. Most ppl say 20 is great on M1T, but why push it when the gains are still coming at 15? Amirite?
Havoc and EPI Smash

BSL claims the Hexadrone really compliments Epi well, noticeably so. Curious to hear your final thoughts on it.

Nice. I'm actually a bit pissed at myself. I had a bottle of Reaper and sold it lol.

Palmfist thanks you :)

The only time I get mad about the wrong compound is if I pay for primo and get eq mixed with masteron. Or any eq in any case I hate that sh!t.

Support is key in some instances but gotta have the right diet to go with. If your eating 400g carbs a day gaining a ton of water, even though you may be supplementing herbs for BP control your blood pressure may be high very high and uncontrollable.

Dosing extra high is silly if you're seeing results at low doses. I saw someone taking drug a 3x higher dosed than me. They saw results. I followed suit. Drug a didn't cause more gains, just unbareable sides that no one should ever deal with UNLESS they're literally perfect and can go pro in their steroid abusing sport of choice be it baseball football bodybuilding, powerlifting etc etc. and even then, why go huge if your gaining small. Don't want to burn out. When 1g of test stops working for me I've got 2 and 3G. When it stops working for the guys already on 3G where do they go next? 4? Diminishing returns hits hard and I'm pretty sure anything over 3grams a week just fully overloads receptors to the point of no growth unless it's via different pathways.
 
I think this is a lose lose situation because even if you are the most fit person on the planet by February everyone is going to vote against you lol. We all really want to see you deadlift in a dress

Supposedly hexadrone and epi do work well together. We have Epi-Hex which is our product with both in it and I'm getting ready to run it here soon. Can't wait to see what it does for me.

Doesn't really matter what people vote, it matters what the numbers say or in my case the pictures say. Not going to worry about what others think I did. For me it is about me, I am going to look at the pictures with my eyes which are more critical of myself than others and decide if I hit my goal. If I didn't I will let you all know and will be harder on myself than you guys would be. I am really the only person who has a goal that does not depend on numbers though everyone else gave concrete numbers to be at by the end. So either they hit them or they DL in a dress / Zumba outfit... In all honesty brother I am a bit nervous...

Did you all get rid of KillShot? That had gnarly doses of both. I still have a bottle I am going to run during prep.
 
Jeeez Leave for a couple days and come back to alot to catch up on! I got a call and had to go out of town thursday morning and Just go tback in to town late last night. I spilled a full monster zero on my phone So right now im limited to The desktop. So ill be popping in and out until i get a replacement phone which could be a little while since it seems like they want my first born in order for insurance to kick in (which will still be over 200$!!) SOO keep hammering it out dudes you guys are killing it in here!

I'm a bit nervous as well my friend.

Your response is exactly how I feel as well. Don't really give a fukk what others think.

That sucks my dude! My iPhone fell outta my pocket while helping my son wipe his ass and went straight into the toilet. Took forever to get it resolved.

Man that sounds like a crappy situation!!!
I think you will make it once the epi kicks in.
 
Ok so today was a bit different. The gal I know at this gym (who is in prep) wanted me to take her through a chest session so I agreed even though today was supposed to be legs. She's 48 but strong and in great shape.

A couple minor form tweaks and she did well. Tbh I was looking forward to the extra push from her as well but it ended up being awkward for some reason so I basically trained her for 40 mins then tried to hit up a quick chest shoulder wo.

Legs tomorrow and I'll probably hit chest shoulders again this week.

Went a bit over on cals yesterday. Had a nice date night with wifey. Took her to a nice Japanese steakhouse here and had filet and lobster with rice veggies and a boston roll.

Oh I'm sorry Epi-Hex is Killshot! The bottle says Killshot Epi-Hex Size. My bad.

Are you a rep or employee for Xcel, Pete? No offense, but I always kind of assumed that there stuff was either snake oil or poison in a pill at some of the listed dosages, but never knew anyone who ran Xcel stuff til now.

On a related note, for both you & Beaner, Palmfist has about a wk left of Reaper DNA and said it's hands-down the best oral he's used this last yr; he seemed tickled with it. Made me wish I hadn't already spent my change on straight Epi a couple months back for an upcoming run.

Thanks for that info Hyde, I was just about to try and get ahold of him.

Xcels stuff is very popular outside of this forum. Very good quality products. I'm really kicking myself for getting rid of that but I plan on running a couple of their products down the road tbh. I've heard nothing but great reviews.
 
I can vouch for the Barbarian-FX Mass not a cutter but adding size on limited calories.

Definitely not any of those:) they are great products! Reaper is a great pro, pretty strong! I'm glad he had a great experience.
 
I have heard nothing but great things about Xcel too. Again, outside of AM. Never tried them though.

Is Reaper:
A) A ph?
B) Discontinued?

All their products are stacks, usually with at least 1 or 2 heavily dosed compounds & 1 or 2 milder dosed ones for synergy. On the pricey side (like Andro Factory's gear), but not necessarily when you add up the mg/bottle of various compounds.
