Day 15 - Push Day - High Rep
Okay today was a higher rep workout the goal was to pick a weight I could start at 15 reps with but may not be able to finish the 3 sets at 15 reps. I decided that for my higher rep days I will use predominantly dumbbells to keep stabilizers strong. The heavy days do mostly barbell work. It just makes more sense this way to me. As conditioning improves I will more likely move to 4 sets instead of 3 or add a drop set to the mix. I was a little ashamed of myself by the end of the workout. I petered out on squats bad. I think lowering my carbs a good bit got me today and still carrying around some Thanksgiving grub. LOL So the high reps basically kicked my back side.
DB Flat Bench - 70x15, 70x15, 75x15, I could have gone to 80s but both of my shoulders are feeling a little twingy. I felt a little discomfort in both the first set. I don’t think it is an injury just the joints are really dry from low estrogen. I am adding in some cissus today so I should be good to go very soon.
Standing Arnold Press - 45x15, 50x15, 50x13 - No pain at all on this, once shoulders were nice and warmed up I was good to go.
Dips - BW x15 x 3 sets. I need to go up next time probably a 15 lb DB between the legs. I can’t believe it, I was breathing hard by the time I finished my dips. Only resting 45-60 seconds between all of the sets for each exercise I was starting to suck wind.
Squats - 185x15, 225x15, 225x8, By the time I finished my set of 225x15 I was huffing and puffing like a freight train going up a steep hill. I had gone way over my anaerobic threshold and was light headed to boot. I waited about a minute and a half and even though still a little light headed from breathing so fast I got back under for set # 3, by the time I hit my 6th rep I felt myself slam into the wall. I held it for about 5 seconds and did another rep, then about 15 seconds did another one and was just to light headed to continue safely so I put up the weight. I expect these numbers to climb quickly. I was doing only machines for higher reps before and these take so much more out of you. Heck all of the work today took a bit out of you compared to machines, which is what I have been limiting myself to for about 4 months now dealing with this shoulder stuff...
As far as diet goes I am right on schedule for the day. I don’t have my grapefruit or blueberries yet so I added in 1 1/4 cup of oats spread over the first 2 meals to make up for the calories.
Like I said my joints are a little dry from the ERASE that stuff really dries you out. If you have problems with your joints I recommend having some Cissus on hand. I will be taking it from now through the end of this run. My libido is still very high, and my balls are bigger now than they were when I started. Yes I always feel my balls before taking anything hormonal, or shaking someone's hand... Wait WHAT????
On another note I have made a decision to hold off on my Malicious Mass cycle instead I am going with the stack I originally planned to run. I know this one isn’t going to be a MASS MONSTER but it will help me with my joints due to the conversion to Boldenone, and in my effort to recomp. I will be running EQ-Plex for 8 weeks at 600 a day and 800 a day on workout days and H-Drol for 6 weeks going up to 100 maybe 125 if sides not too bad. I also have about 10-12 Super DMZ left and will add them pulsed on workout days the first two weeks of the run before starting H-Drol. If I play my cards right I could see another 10-12 lbs off of that stack and if I can keep half again like last time I will be good to go and probably have stronger shoulder in the end too. I may look into a DHT or DHEA supplement during this one also. I think I could go with something like Dermacrine or Androhard, or even M1D at high doses.
