I noticed some more width from the front, flexed biceps actually shrunk a bit from 19 to 18.7 inch. Guessing its the Anavar tighten things up.

Wow. You certainly have some crazy-assed super human workouts. I like them
When I read them, I want to get up and go try to do the same. They seem brutal and I want to experience it and see if I can endure. Buy then I think.... Well... Naaaah
I dead lift to failure every time. Form is certainly key. It has its risks, but deadliftimg itself has risks. I always find it ironic that people fear dead lifting to failure because is is one of only a few exercises where failure doesnt have the potential to crush you. Haha.
This is something I find interesting that I think can be overlooked. Intensity amd volume both take a different toll on the CNS. Deadlifts place a huge demand on the CNS with each rep. It took me a while to learn that if you go really heavy, like 2-3 reps, you need a long time to recover even if it is just 1-2 sets. Going lighter and doing more reps, even though it is still to failure, doesnt place the same demand on the CNS and you can recover in a dramatically shorter timeframe.
Someone doing 1 rep max attempts for 5 sets may literally need 2-4 weeks to recover and grow. Not everyone, but a lot of people.
HIT4ME is the culprit who said: "Less is more, because Mentzer this -and Mentzer that."
Well, not for me.
I think its because what I did when young.
All was centered around endurance and stamina. 14 years Karate, 3 years Judo and a couple of years Olympic gymnastic. Almost exclusively body weight exercises. I may have somehow "turned those endurance genes on" in my youth, benefiting from it even now.
I always said: "Watch a gymnast, he almost never moves heavy iron and has an awesome physique." Today, look at the calisthenics dudes and tell me how they look.
Yeah. I I should clarify. Less CAN be more. To a point. Doing absolutely nothing won't give you more. What made me come to this realization????
..... (See below)
Yup. You proved me wrong. Lots of upper body work. Almost no leg work. Amd yet, the upper body shows tremendous development, while the legs look like... Well... Have you ever even squatted to take a dump??
(I am playing - you know I have gun envy)
Lmao. I am appalled. But lmao.

Yeah, he acts like he doesn't care about abs - but he is looking leaner. I even see a rib cage in there.
Has anyone figured out if this is the longest log on AM? It certainly is since I have been here. I point this out because it is a testament to hairygrandpa's dedication. Very motivating.

I agree. Going heavy had my CNS overloaded for a couple of days -AND I had no steam left doing auxiliary/isolation exercises afterwards.
Nah, look again, I'm doing legs two times per week now. Knees are getting better, will squat again in a month -or two.

I do care about abs -but dieting is so damn hard. My discipline sucks.

Will start drinking water from the local river to get a proper cholera infection, that should do it.

Did you read that article? One of the things it mentioned in there is that it is uncommonly liver toxic for something that is not methylated... I am sure not to the extent of methylated orals, but something to be considered for certain.
hairygrandpa
Legend
I'm on 1gr Tudca day, as you suggested -and so far I feel fine. Dbol -or DMZ hit my liver real hard each time -but back then I took only NAC for liver support.
Rethinking what that article said, I can't say for sure if the Anavar+1-Andro is more -or less toxic than Dbol, while taking Tudca.
If 1-Andro is as toxic as winni -or t-bol, I probably stick to AAS in future. Less expensive and more bang for the buck.
MrKleen73
Legend
Yeah, you should be good to go with 1 gram of Tudca!
I agree on that one. I doubt I will run another SARM or ProHormone unless it is for a log. I do still have some of the designers like Epistane, DMZ, Superdrol, and the like. I may end up selling them... even my Superdrol!
I enjoyed it when I ran 1-Andro at 440mg back in the day for Finaflex, but even at that high dose which would have been expensive it is still lacking compared to Ostarine @20mg a day when it comes to anabolism, and at the rate it gets converted the androgenic effects of it are virtually NIL which is why people end up with lethargy and lower libido when running it without a test base.

Well.... I started the youth program here like 4 yrs ago. Wrote the policies and procedures to get licensed by the dept of family services as well as all the marketing (website, brochures, etc)
The owner, who is in bad health at 74, was going to incorporate the company and give me shares so that I had enough ownership to make sound decisions to keep his vision alive
Then his fck up lazy son, who was a good friend of mine, came back about 2 yrs ago.. I've been disappointed with his work ethic but have kept it to myself...
A few weeks ago I got wind that the DFS was issuing new licenses for youth facilities and figured a way to expand and double our capacity (hence business)
I was gonna partner up with the owners son but he wants sole ownership. Now, this dipsh1t doesn't want to pay me to get the business off the ground and I'm getting pressured to do it. It almost went to blows last week. Fcking ridiculous... they want something for nothing

It was nice though, having a couple kids here and being able to take them to work etc... I could go home for lunch and eat with the wife... we've gotta get back to the rat race.. that sucks
Ideally, I'd like to open my own business doing this sh1t. That's something we're talking about. We will see what happens.
Anyway, I'm gonna get my lazy fat ass back to the gym tomorrow. It'll be a rude awaking...

Ugh. Business. So, funny story. When I got out of school I got into B2B sales. Then one weekend I realized that I wasn't doing anything on the weekends and my mom had 40 real estate agents working for her and they had open houses - so I got my license and told them I would sit in open houses for them. My first Sunday working I spent 2 hours at an open house and sold it for $525,000 and made myself over $10,000. That was a good day.
Then a month or two later, I sold another house at open house. This family wanted to sell their house and buy something bigger because their mom was in the middle of losing her house to the bank and they wanted to buy something so she could move in. My mom and I met with the woman losing her house and she was telling us that her neighbor was interested in buying it but of course no offer yet...
I remember my mom telling that woman to stop talking to the neighbor. She told the woman as soon as he finds out it is in foreclosure (it is eventually advertised in papers), he will try to get it cheaper. She said, "No, he wouldn't do that to me. I've known him for 30 years. He's my neighbor. We're friends."
My mom said, "When money is involved, everything changes." And she was 100% right, the guy did try to get it from the bank cheaper. It's sad, but true.
This. You are NOT what you do for a living. You can take those skills and go anywhere. Every day brings new opportunity; most of the time when everything seems like it is falling apart you look back and realize just how much opportunity was around you.
Have you tried laying it out for the guy? "Look, I need to make a living. I can't do this for free. If you want my help, this is what I need - if not I appreciate everything and I need to start looking for something - TODAY."
Chances are, he needs you more than you need him from the sounds of it. If he isn't paying you, well then, you really don't get any benefit and don't need him at all.
Although - there is another angle too. Most people who own a business DRAMATICALLY over-value their ownership of that business. They think it is something to own 51% or 100%, etc. and don't want to give it up. A lot of times it's about having control more than anything. You could always keep the business but work out a contract that has you getting paid VERY well. Maybe there is a win-win there?

Went to the gym, motivated and ready to kill it.
Well, turns out it was one of those days, when the 50lbs DB feels like a 75lbs DB.
I bet you all know these days.
I declared it to a "pump only-day".
Did about 13 different exercises in a circuit fashion, all with medium weights and pumped the jam out of it, doing between 15-25 rep each.

Short story to share:
Today I went to an appointment with an ophthalmologist. I noted that my sight was slowly declining and wanted to have all checked.
After all testing , measuring eye pressure, reading those numbers and whatnot, the doc told me:
"Its remarkable, you have a 130 vision. If it declined, I can't imagine how good your sight was before."
To make him more comfortable, I told him about my bad knees.
