Say What?! Lol

Naw, I actually haven't done any Triceps actually, I did Dips for the first time the other day and felt okay.. I'm not going to push it though.

Yes! They brought back the like button!

Haha I know you know. I tweaked mine very slightly from skull crushers, so I decided to drop those for now.

It usually starts from rows and chins for me. The joint and tendons get a lil sore from full extension is my guess.

Mine is when you do skullcrushers and dips and it's always at the half way squeeze for both lifts Lol.

You should do your dips after some tricep rope push downs in the 12-15 rep range, then move on to a few sets of dips, slower tempo and less added weight or just body weight will get you more growth. After that if you must do skull crushers do them lighter weight with about 15 reps with a pause in the stretched position and come up just short of lockout but you would be safer using OH Cable triceps extensions in a crossover station where you can adjust the height of the pulley. These actually hit the target muscle better and cause less stress to the elbow. Also no need to go to parallel much less beyond with dip, that is when they begin to rotate the shoulders back at a dangerous angle, stressing both the shoulders and the stretched out tendon going across your elbow. So don't go below parallel if adding weight. These things will save your elbows big time!

I already dealt with 2 years worth of chronic tendonitis in my elbows from doing the wrong things and got ART to fix it and changed the way I trained as a result and it has not come back.

man I know how that is bro - sometimes, for whatever reason, you just go thru spells like that..
may be a reason, or may be no rhyme nor reason....
hang in there, pound your way thru it as best you can
you WILL come back out the other side again and back on track, I promise you

Thanks boss, Appreciate it..

It's been a busy month outside of the gym..

The gains are still coming, strength and weight.
It's more mental than anything...

185 x 5 x 2

120 x 12
120 x 10

Decline Smith

225 x 8
315 x 10 x 2

Side Lateral Raise
30 x 3 sets repped out

Reverse Fly Machine
3 drop sets

In and Out tonight, got to the gym late.. Still pretty dry, feeling lean, joints and tendons are pretty achy, doesn't feel so good..

Obvious growth is taking place, traps are looking bigger, overall body is fuller and clothes are tighter, more looks in the gym.. It's obvious I'm on something lol

A few more days of DMZ left, Derma should end not to long after..
 
It's been good to me really, the aggression is pretty obvious, I'm an a$$ anyways so it's been rough for the wife and co workers lol

Strength gains were pretty impressive, sides were next to none, I'm sure I'll be using it again..

One helluva workout there! Glad the joints didn't give you too much problem.

Thanks boss... They were hurting a bit, as expected when you get a burst of strength out of nowhere.. There's no way I could rep these numbers or hit those numbers on Incline before..
I'll take the good & bad lol

BigRed1974 said:
Looking forward to a run on DMZ in the near future
Click to expand...

Pretty sure it would be another perfect run for you.. Did you ever run an AI at all on this current cycle?
 
Only ran Ar1macare Pro during cycle and Sup3er PCT during PCT.
 
Goliath1 said:
Nice, DMZ is pretty legit.. I'd run it again in the future..
Click to expand...
Yeah, I plan on running it again. Probably around the 95mg to start. I had absolutely no sides from it. But I also ran it as a sublingual which may be the reason I could run it at the higher dose.

It actually gave me a bit of anxiety at 60mg but that's just something I seem to be dealing with lately, simply stress related I'm assuming..

But other than that, it went smooth.. I think later on down the road I'll run it at 60-80mg again when I'm in a better place in life persae..
I could see a difference in aggression from 40-60, I'd like to go higher..
 
Very impressive training!!! I'm sure you're looking great with those gains!!

Hell yah. Aggression is awesome, if one knows how to control it.

I had a slight rest day yesterday after maxing. Can't wait to go in today and GROW!

I hear ya, I took a day off after that session I maxed on..

Get it in son!

I have to up my cardio.

Not slimming down as fast as I need to be for vacation.

Any advice on how much running is too much?

PS I'll be running cause I gotta be able to run for the military. ****ing sucks.

HaHa I'm not the right guy to ask about cardio bro..

I've done maybe 2 hours or so total in 5 weeks, I have to step it up to..

I'd say 3-4 sessions of 30-45 minutes a week is fine though..

Tagger, try and do 20 mins of 130-150 heart rate. That should help get your metabolism up and not let you lose size.

Awesome, I have been playing basketball once or twice a week, but I need to make sure I am hitting my other sessions haha.
 
24 minutes of HiiT would really benefit you for this.

I love HIIT! I like the change of pace and pushing myself. Plus, it makes you pay attention to what you're doing so I'm not bored in 5 min's. Lol

Awesome! Can't wait! The stomach is the hardest and last to go for many of us!! I know it's my worst area!

This Tagger! HIIT is great for fat loss. You can do that anywhere too. I've really been enjoying tabata which is just one way of doing HIIT! it will help with your endurance and speed for running as well!! I would do at least 3-4 sessions of 20 mins. Or an hour or more a week. If you do LISS- you have to have a lot more time.

Hahaha! That was hilarious!
 
Wide Grip Pulldowns
240 x 12 + 1 UHG
240 x 10 + 1 UHG
240 x 7 + 1 UHG

UHG Pulldowns Drop Sets
240 x 6 x 180 x 6
3 sets

NG Row Machine
220 x 15, 13, 9 + 4
3 sets total

Cable Rows
3 Drop Sets from the bottom - 3 drops

Reverse Fly - Face Pull Superset
3 sets x 15 x 15

BB Shrugs
225 x Reps for 3 Sets

Curls
Just bounced around DB Hammer, Alternating, Preacher Curls, Barbell Curls.. Just picked up any weight not being used and repped em out..
Gym was packed, as always..

Getting lots of looks, maybe to poundage I'm using or aggression, could be because I'm blown the **** up pretty quickly lol

I'm liking the Derma Fury better at 1 pump honestly.. I get back pumps pretty easily and at 1 pump it's comfortable, not to dry, but nice enough to give me the results I personally want..

Thanks again to the Olympus Crew for the logging opp!! Wonder where there at??? Lol

Nice work man. Those lat pull downs are heavy AF bro. I also kicked my derma down to 1 pump a day for the rest of my run.
