DAY 25
OFF

I am taking today off to rest my sore body. My joints have been feeling so good, i have been increasing weight and intensity. I am very happy with my progress through my pct and after, so a little muscle pain is well worth it. Its cold and snowy here so relaxing being lazy is pretty easy to do. Back at it 2moro.

 

[wicked442]

Well joints are still nice and fluid thanx to Flexible. Had a little pain in my shoulder,so i stayed at 90 on dips. Chest and tris were beat up at the end. I still plan on hitting bw+200 on dips by mid spring. I've been doing more upper chest work and i am starting to see a dif. Strength still feels good 6-7 weeks after my last cycle. Im itching to run another. Soon,very soon!

 

[pete8407]

Damn 200+body weight on dips! That's badass! The incline reverse grip presses are awesome, I totally forgot to do them today. Now I'm pissed what are you thinking for your next run?

Thanx reggie. Dont know if i can keep 200 without eating everything in sight tho. 170s is much easier to maintain.

I hear ya there, my natural weight is 170-175. Even when I'm "on" I have trouble reaching 190.
