Keeping Up With The Yates': A Couple's Training Log

yates84 said:
That's the thing, I feel great! If I thought it was body stress my cycle would be done without question but I'm not quite sure atm. I think it might be stomach related since I've been off my nexium for a few days (no idea why either). I will keep a watch over things and if I get feeling bad or have any signs of liver stress I will start pct right away. I try and practice some of what I preach ;)

Wednesday lower body hypertrophy

Squats
8×8 @ 225

Leg press
3×15 @ 6 plates
1×13 @ 6 plates

Leg extensions
4×18 @ 100

Good mornings
4×10 @ 75

This is as far as I made it today, still feeling nautous as hell. I think I will be dropping the epistane and will ride the trest out until Saturday. Will get some final pics up this weekend. Now it's time to heal up and start planning my next move
 
Holy shiz....sorry for slacking on updates. Mom & adult life gets hectic sometimes. I was going to wait & update in the morning, but can't sleep because I have a toddler asleep on my chest & anytime I move he starts to wake up. He was/is home sick for Dada. So, I figured I should catch up.

Wednesday...

Superset

*Pumps were actually painful through those last few sets.

I was up to 122lbs on the RAD, but am back down to 121lbs. Maybe the rapid weight gain is slowing down....or maybe my cals were just off for a couple days. I'm really enjoying seeing myself fuller, and feeling stronger. The Osta seems to be kicking in & really helping with recovery, with a few of my aches, and with my nagging wrist!!! I'm only 11 days in, and I can't wait to see what the rest of this run holds!!

Stopping Nexium does that to me. However your gains have been phenomenal so dropping the Epi would be good or the whole cycle for that matter. Although trest is basically methylated in the same way that Vitamin C is from my understanding.
 
Sorry I haven't been here guys, post cycle depression it getting to me bad....not sure if I can take it anymore.....



SIKE!!! Still riding this trest for a few more days, feel great! Just been a little busy and yesterday was a rest day. Out of town at the beach but still hit a golds gym with wifey.
Upper body power

Clean and press
4×8 @ 135

Weighted pull ups
3×10 @ 55

Bench press 4,0,1,0
20 @ 135
12 @ 185
6 @ 225
3×7 @ 205

Weighted dips
3×12 @ 50

Db shoulder press
4×8 @ 65's

Ez bar curls

Feeling 100% again, I think the methyls were just starting to get to me. Got a few days of trest left so will be done Tuesday and will get some progress pics up.

Hmmm...so maybe I'm just a dumbass and it wasn't methyl related. 7a methyl is definitely no big concern for the liver, especially td.

yates84 you are so silly!! Although, that depression may get you when you do finally come off.

Never has before, I think I will be fine. I can't believe I didn't get any atrophy this cycle, that is mind blowing for the amount of time I was on.

I should have gone heavier but I just wasn't feeling it today. I guess that epistane strength is gone already. 135 is solid for reps but look at last week's cleans...

Yeah you did a little higher weight last week, but you were at a higher working overall and consistent with it.

Agreed, good point. It's definitely the time for consistency in the gym and in the kitchen. I'm planning on keeping these gains by any means possible!

I might start taking ur approach to bulking cut first then bulk! Cos at 172 u look pretty big, and u get to notice what's muscle increase and what's fat increase better.
keep up the great work man.

I agree. With him getting his bf% so low before bulking the definition & growth is so much more noticeable.

There is definitely a benefit to a bulk after a deep cut. The super compensation effect is great however you want to get into the single digits and have been dieting for at little bit. It also helps if you are typically lean by nature. If not you still need to reverse diet out of a cut to keep that fat off going past 2-3 weeks. The approaches are different depending on body type and metabolism.
 
I hope everyone had a fun & safe Halloween. We sure did!! We took the little one door to door trick or treating for the first time & he had a blast!! I've been super busy helping my mom move since Friday morning. So, I hope to get the chance later today to sit down & really type out my updates.

It may be because you are not friends on FB yet. I can view the link just fine. The post probably isn't public. He can change that too though.
 
Ok...I've been MIA from updates because I was helping my Mom move over the weekend. It was a weekend log workout. I averaged about 7 miles a day with 80% of that being up & down stairs while carrying stuff. The only break we really took was to take the little one trick or treating.

Saturday's workout was crap. I was so tired & fatigued. Everything felt heavy. I think my CNS was just shot after pushing myself Friday & then not sleeping well for 2 nights in a row. Hubby & I went to the Gold's Gym by my Mom's this time. I think that will be our new spot while at the beach!

Saturday upper body power...

Warmed up on the ellipitical & some light weight Db work

Clean & presses
50x5x3
*I didn't have my wrist wrap with me & the transitions on these were not pretty & wrist was trying to give out on me. So, I switched to push presses.

Push press
50x5x5

Bench press
65x5
*This felt so heavy. Again, I was struggling through the fatigue.
55x8x3
55x7x2

Assisted (by Hubby) Dips
5x3

Db shoulder press
15x10x2
20x8x2

E-Z Curl
30x8x4

Close Grip Bench
45x6x4

Sunday lower body power....

Squat
45x10x2 wu
65x10x3
75x7x2
85x4
85x3x2
95x2 - PR
*I'm itching to break that 3 digit threshold!!
95x2
*Squats were my main focus for this workout!

Deadlifts
65x8x3
85x6x3
95x5x2
115x3x2

Leg extensions
40x8x3

Lying leg curls
30x8x3

I skipped calf raises because my calves were already super sore from all the stair climbing.

I am so ready to get back in our gym tomorrow, after eating properly and a full day of rest today. My body definitely needed it.

I'm still holding steady at 121lbs, but upped my RAD dose to 8mg today. So, we'll see what the next few weeks holds with that. I will try to get some updated pics up tomorrow!!

Very nice bro! Looks like the cycle treated you very well! Excited to see this next one you have planned. Keep it up in PCT!!
 
Nice I would say a good 15lbs lbm minimum there. Well done!
 
Thanks guys! I appreciate all the motivation!
 
I've been reading with interest your log for the last several minutes and I can't seem to find exactly what supplements you are running? So could you both post your cycle? Please?
