Have you considered finding a stronger gym?

Haha soooooooooooooo many times. There aren’t many to choose from near me but I have debated joining a second one that I could at least go on my off days!
 
03/01/20 - Day 28
BW 247.2

Bird Dogs, Planks, Side Planks, Glute Bridges, TRX Fatman Rows
x2 circuits

Deadlift, stiffbar
135x5
225,315x3
365x1
+hookgrip
415x1
460 4x3
+straps
460 1x3

Rackpulls, below knee
350 2x12 oh the hamstring burn!

Rogue Trapbar
Low handles & standing on a 45 plate
280,300x10

High Handles, 3 sec eccentrics
300 3x10

Back Extensions
+70 3x15

Had to drop a couple glucose tabs towards the end of the session to finish the tempo trapbar legpressing, but I was working very hard for a long session so I certainly can’t blame the BLR supps for needing that. A good day of training where you can tell you’re improving.

I have been dialing back the carbs on off-days and away from training this past week or so, trying to recomp vs just gain. Blood sugar and hunger has felt very well managed so I think my body is getting used to this stack. Everything feels like it’s playing nicely together.
 
Good deal!! Sounds like things are going well! Looks like a killer session!

Today ends the first month of the sponsored BLR Anabolic Stack log. Over the month my morning weight rose from 243lbs to as high as 250lbs when bloated, but probably an average of 4lbs gained in 3wks, before reigning things in some this last week to undo some of the fat. In that time I also definitely noticed some minor improvements in high-rep strength endurance.

I received the next month’s supply, as well as a mystery natural anabolic blend (notice the black un-marked canister) I agreed to test for the remainder of this performance stack.

All I know about it is that I am to take 2 per day, it’s safe, non-toxic, natural, multi-ingredient, will probably raise my test to a minor degree, and is being used here for anabolic potential.

#Pantherdrol! FTW!!! I got some too, excited to add it in.
 
Nice!! Just in the nick of time too!

Bench
45,95,135x5

Chin-ups

Side Raises
15,25x8
35 2x12

Rear Raises
15x12
30 2x14

No sides noticed yet from the initial doses of Pantherdrol. Had to train in the evening to accommodate work, thus preWO had to be taken at 5:30pm, which is probably why I tossed and turned til 1am instead of falling asleep like usual. Will be gone at the Arnold til next week but will try to update before then!

I was trying to go to the Arnold Classic this weekend. Now I got to do yard work. Boo. Stupid Chinese.

FYI: apparently the Arnold is cancelled

His wife is a competitor so I’m thinking he’ll be able to get in. I think I heard the comps are still going on but its just closed to visitors to avoid mass crowds.

That is what I heard / thought as well. Just the Expo was cancelled.
 
03/10/20 - Day 37
BW 243.2

Getting caught back up finally from the Arnold, which definitely threw off my normal training by a large degree. Diet as well, but as active as I was and generally making good decisions through the daytime I was able to avoid any weight gain.

Trained with a different gym Sunday and Floorpressed 175+170lbs of chains for a max effort triple, which was a first for me. But then I squatted finally last night, and while everything felt great during warmups when I got to my work weight of 415 it almost stapled me, twice. Backed the weight down to 315 so I could get some quality technical work in and will try to get some more in tomorrow.

So I don’t know what my strength is doing, but it doesn’t seem great. However, my physique doesn’t seem any worse for this stack at all. Pumps still seeming pretty good and very light volume I am noticing more endurance.
 
Surprised that your strength hasn’t increased any over this run! Everyone is different though, I guess...Definitely appreciate the feedback regardless!

I THINK my physique may have improved slightly. And my strength has improved over high volume movements for sure, but “strength” ranges like 6 or less reps aren’t improved, if that makes sense. Its only been 5 weeks too, so we will see. Nudes will be done at the end to show any honest changes.
 
Well, I spoke too soon. Woke up Tuesday and felt like my throat was scratchy from some sinus drainage. Woke up yesterday, Wednesday, and my throat was very soar from breathing through my mouth all night - definitely had a cold. Wife has it too, turns out. Nose has been stuffy/runny and just more tired/achey, some sneezing. We’ve been taking temps but if anything we’ve been cold, definitely no fevers or coughing fits.

So I have officially stopped training for a few days - need to kick this cold so I can be healthy when flying at end of next week for a very important work project the next weekend. Not trying to bring home the Kung Flu

Hope you get to feeling better. Getting sick sucks. especially when it zaps your energy.
Its going around here as well. I have had the same thing for 5 days now. Just came off a decondition hit the gym 2 days and then I get sick. SUCKS!
Im shriveling up!
 
Ugh that’s the worst. Hope it’s just a kung fluke and you wake up tomorrow ready to crush all that stands in your way.
 
Sorry you don’t feel well! Hope it goes away quickly!!
 
I had viral bronchitis that lasted 14 days. Just feeling better.
Thankfully it wasnt the chinese bat flu virus.

Man did it feel good to get some proper training in, back at our gym! Autoregulated the weight used, and left one in the tank on the AMRAP, but it all still felt & moved pretty well. Even with a Bronkaid I was sucking some wind and deconditioned to train, but I feel pretty healthy and like my strength is returned.

Since the second day of adding Pantherdrol I have noticed it has been bugging one of the nodes in the gyno on my left side (the more sensitive side to hormonal fluctuations). Took some AI a couple days before the Arnold and was good for a week, then just had to do it again. Definitely something anabolic in there fiddling with my hormone levels! I also think it’s having some positive visual impact.

Just for comparison, I can NOT take tribulus without it jacking my estrogen up and bugging my gyno. Been like that forever. So this can absolutely happen with natural ingredients for me. I’ve always had some gyno since puberty and always been a heavy aromatizer, plus I am carrying plenty of bodyfat remember.
 
Good to see you back at it and feeling more like yourself!

Definitely weakened from the cold; endurance was piss poor and power a bit low too, but pleased with this work given that context.
 
But you made it in there!

EZbar Curls

Shorts caught the bar on 605 and couldn’t grind over them, but I got a good strain in and as much work as I could manage. My conditioning right now coming off that cold is pretty awful so I ain’t mad about it. Feeling pretty good.
 
That 355x12 dead stop then 20 touch and go looks like condition is still pretty good even for coming off a cold!

The first set of 12 took me out for like 15 minutes. I was so fed up with feeling exhausted I think my own outrage propelled me through the set of 20 - it wasn’t planned; I was just pissed that I knew I didn’t have another set in me!

Feeling pretty sore today, especially in my lats, so it was productive enough.

Skipping my BLR stack today and tomorrow for sure as I’m traveling for work Airports were pretty dead, and if I make it back home unscathed I should be able to stay home from here on out.

Awww okay I can see how that would get you irritated about conditioning. Funny what you can do when you get a little pissed at yourself though.
 
Logistics boned us so had to wait another day for overnighted parts. Cancelled our flights. Now we’ll be road tripping home tonight/tomorrow likely. State is locked down anyway back home so not like much will be happening with training anyway for a bit I suppose.

We are all pretty much waiting for them to put Houston in a shelter in place. If what the Mayor of Dallas let slip yesterday during his new conference Houston is going soon...
 
Got back from Orlando yesterday early evening, after driving 1,100 miles in less than 24 hours. Nothing but drivethrus and gas station food was open due to the virus Thursday-Sunday while traveling, so that’s about how I feel right now lol. Still, could be much worse & I think I avoided the Kung Flu for now!

Chin-ups
10 jump+negatives
8,6,6,6,6

Bench felt weak today, but with all the traveling I’ve been forced to do the last month or so as well as getting that cold I am not surprised. Hit some higher volume to help begin rebuilding by base.

Restarted the Anabolic Stack yesterday after 3 days off for work travel. Did not restart the Pantherdrol however- it definitely aggravated my gyno in only 2 weeks, and have added 10mg Tamoxifen nightly the last 6 days to chill that out. Might test it out solo after this stack ends in a couple weeks, but it’s not working with me for now.
 
3/24/20 - Day 48
BW 245.4

Home exercise: 40 min or so of bird dogs, glute bridges, pushups, light curls, lateral raises, rear delt flyes. Just got the heart rate up for a bit and got everything loose & burning some for a bit of extra work.

Good training today; felt like I made some solid progress.
 
Great work! That’s a long ride and road food is definitely rough on the body! I always feel horrible after I’ve eaten it even 1-2 x’s!

Great accessory day. Seem to have finally gotten the bloat undone from all the lousy travel food last weekend.

Seems like the Follidrone and Vector have solid GDA/carb shuttling properties in their own right, for not much more money than a dedicated GDA product.
 
03/27/20 - Day 51

Feeling good - bought a used Rogue Y1 yoke/rack, barbell, and some plates for home. Already have bands to choke to it for accessory work, as well as adjustable dbs up to about 50lbs, and got some horse stall mat today to lay in the back yard for deadlifts and overhead press outside if I want. Once I get a bench, I am set!

Rackpulls below knee
360 2x12

Sumo 4.5” Blockpulls
360 2x10

Deadlift was feeling strong, if my energy was lackluster. Been eating a lot more protein and drastically lowered carbs, hence the weight shift. Moved all of my Vector doses to post training over the day so blood sugar isn’t impacted in training. Follidrone at 2 caps preWO still seems to be great on no carbs.
 
Sounds like a really nice home set up! Glad you have that! I pulled a few things together this morning and just did some circuit training.

Glad things are going well blood sugar wise with cutting carbs and everything!

185x3
225x2
255,275,290x1
240 6x6

May not look like much, but this was legitimately max effort - 290 was brutal & the wife had to heavily assist my final rep of my last set. I was cashed out after this.
 
Looks like plenty if you were pushing hard. You only need a lot of volume when intensity is lower. I can only do so much if once I have reached max effort or close with those type of movements.
 
I’m with Chris! Looks like plenty to me! Especially the 6x6 after all those heavy sets!
 
Thanks all! 290 was maximal unfortunately, so 240 was like 82% of that for 36 work reps. I was blasted.

Wife got off early from work, it was beautiful and sunny out, so pulled some stall mat on the grass out back and she deadlift in the yard & I hit my rows. Music pumping & a great spring afternoon spent together!
 
Outside workouts are the best. Nice weight on the bentover rows!
