Good for you brother! Keep fighting!Weighing in today at 195lb upon waking. I’m trying to get to a solid 205lb but it’s not easy. I’m grateful because 9 years ago today I was checking into a detox at almost 50lb lighter. My clothes we way too big for me. I was homeless and had nothing but a trash bag of clothes, facing a possible 5 year prison bid. Weightlifting wasn’t even a thought anymore. Today is completely different and I love every minute of it no matter how bad life gets it’ll never be like that.
Today was my squat day and my body is tired from my new job. It’s busy as hell there and I’m doing like 24000 steps on any given shift, probably why weight is dropping off. Weights felt heavy at first then I got super focused. I opted to do one clean rep of 380lb and call it. I trudged through my FSL sets. By my 3rd set I got this huge burst of energy and banged out 10 reps. Accessory work was all done on the leverage squat machine. This thing is awesome. Did some traditional leverage squats and the turned the opposite way I did a linebacker/hack squat. I also realized that this can and will be used for Viking Press. My quads are on fire right now as I type this.

Congrats on turning your life around!Thanks guys. This is the most important day of the year to me. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is my life now. I even moved back to the city, blocks away from where I did some unthinkable things haha. It’s weird how life works
Already do. I just made a 3hr round trip to rescue our newest dog. It was painful to have my arm up on the steering wheel hahaYou’re gonna feel that one lol
Quite the recomp!Ha ha, reading the top portion and then seeing the picture gave me a laugh. Then I read the bottom and that gave me a laugh too though. My old-man dog is a big fat tick, I need to get him a sled to pull.
was thinking I’m not sure turning into a pooch was the recomp effect one would normally wantQuite the recomp!
Nice!!Hope you guys are having a good weekend. Worked a double yesterday and heading in for another today. New job rules, money isn’t everything in life but it sure helps. I’m gonna try and pull tomorrow morning before I go out for the day with my wife. Noticed some new veins popping out of shoulders which was pretty cool. I definitely think Ursa at 4ml might be worthwhile. I’ll take some pics this week maybe.
Reminds me of KornLol man when I was a kid you were just mad when you didn’t get any more tv/game time and had to wait until tomorrow. Now there is no tomorrow, apparently!
Yea they’re great quality. I bought Meadows mountain dog pack to get me through my move during the pandemic before I rebuilt my gym.I need to pick up some heavy bands. I've been looking at some at EliteFTS. You have some of theirs I think? Pretty good quality?
20% off right now tooI need to pick up some heavy bands. I've been looking at some at EliteFTS. You have some of theirs I think? Pretty good quality?
EliteFTS is what I’ve always usedI need to pick up some heavy bands. I've been looking at some at EliteFTS. You have some of theirs I think? Pretty good quality?
Yea that’s what I was leaning toward too. I just got excited and now my wife wants to go away, which I do too but thought we would go end of May.You still planning on the SD and Stanogen too? When did you finish PCT?
I think I would lean towards starting after so I wasn't taking it easy at the beginning of PCT. I'd rather rest up going into the cycle than risk regressing while chilling out on vacay. Just my thoughts anyway. Gives ya some more time off to get back to baseline too.
I feel ya! Hell look at me, I'm two weeks into 1-andro/3AD and already looking to stack something else on. Did you get bloods before the M1A? Wondering if you could compare now and see where you're at if that's a concern.Yea that’s what I was leaning toward too.

Yea still the same cycle dien/hdrol/3ad/sdrol. Pct ended a few weeks ago. I know this is the better option I’m just itchin.

Nah I’m still hardheaded in that regard
Looking jacked dude!Cycle 2 of 5/3/1 FSL started today. I opted for pressing rather than squatting after deadlifting yesterday. Weighed in at 193.5lb this morning. I think the Ursa is starting to show some recomp benefits, I’m also much more active at the new job.
Military press went great, weights were flying up until 205 which felt heavy. Did high incline afterward since it’s been a while and I wanted to see what I had in me, worked up to 175 and I was gassed at this point. Hit the traps supersetted with Viking press focusing more on volume and holding at the top. These were killer.
I also have most of my supports for June. Just need to buy some Nac and tudca. I almost wanna wait so I don’t jump on early haha. Here’s some upper body pics. Maybe you can see a difference maybe it’s in my head.
Press
5x80/105
3x125
5x135/155/175/185
2x205
10x135/5x135/10x135
High incline
