Sounds divine. Today I had to stop the mk. Love it, but it hates me and gets the prolactin stirring (point of contention on this forum but I can attest 100%). Tried all sorts of regimens and it ends the same, just gotta hit the good **** next time lol.

Zero contention; it’s well documented by now that Mk, like GH & peps, can raise prolactin in the susceptible.

MK specifically is why my left node will lactate when my prolactin is high! I can literally squeeze out proof in the right scenario

My right is the right scenario lol. I’ve established that I can manage 12.5 for about 10 days. I will use this for a quick heal or water retention. Not like the good old days of 25mg daily on top of gobs o trest

I can confirm it’s individual, I am typically always running some sort of gh peptide and in the interests of science I regularly have my nipples squeezed hard, occasionally twisted, frequently bitten. Never a drop of lactation

Today was more of a let’s try something different type of workout. I’m in between programs so this week I’m not concentrating on numbers. I don’t plan on picking up my power bar at all. Hit chest/tris today using only my dumbbells and pulley system. It felt great. Did some volume for a change and for the first time in a while I didn’t necessarily have a plan going into it. I really wanna start doing more db flat bench.

I’ll start off by saying the chest supported rows will be done with dumbbells for now on. I just couldn’t get a proper ROM. I’m really excited that the trap deads went up so fast and pain free! I’m using the high handles to ease my way into it but overall they felt great. The cambered football bar was used throughout the whole session and if money allows I highly recommend one, a lot of options in one specialty bar.

Went all out on today’s workout. I’ll be working 4 doubles in a row starting tomorrow as I transition into my new role so I don’t see myself training for almost a week. That’s life though and I feel like a break from the weight will do my body good. I’m also going to dropping all supplements except Triton(pwo) and joint supports, creatine and intra workout as I’m going to be logging the new rendition of Epichaos thanks to @Renew1 @nostrum420. When this happens I’ll be starting a new log and program, I’ll come back to this one afterwards so I’ll tag y’all in that one.
Anyway, squats felt great with the SSB and I wanted to incorporate the chains into this. I forget exactly what each length weighs but it’s somewhere between 30-40lb. I ended my workout with some shoulder work on the plate loaded press. Instead of the traditional seated press I performed them standing facing the machine and now I have a Viking press. I honestly didn’t expect to go past 2pps but these went up way to easy so I worked up to 320lb x4!!! Today was a blast. Kept it simple but effective.

Hang in there for work. You’ve trained damn hard, and you’re in PCT, so 5 days off could be what the doctor ordered. Stay strong!

Pre-ordered the Titan SSB before you sent me the power bar even. I decided my home gym is really important to me so I should start looking into getting the right tools for the job longterm. The Titan is a clone of the EliteFTS but with Olympic sleeves so you can use normal clamps and $100 cheaper, and I have always loved the EFS Yokebar, so it made sense to invest. It’s the most important accessory bar IMO. Opens up a lot of options.

I almost bought that one but then I found an old black widow used really cheap and I honestly have no regrets. I actually just saw a video from elitefts showing how to use it to hit tris as a JM press

ahhhh don’t say that @Hyde , I really dislike using an SSB. Never felt right on my shoulders. Was going to get a duffalo instead but you saying it’s the most important accessory means I probably need to look into why it is

Well depends on what you get - most safety bars are total dogshite! Even Rogue’s; it’s like they had no plans to even use a pad, and some guy at the last minute thought, “Hey gang, maybe since this sits on the neck instead of the muscle like every other bar, we should pad it for some stability?” And nobody agreed; they just glued on whatever little scrap they could find to shut Timmy up and get it out the door. Then all the cheapy ones bend and wobble with just 100kg on them! You definitely end up fighting a lot of them more than necessary on certain things.

EliteFTS Yoke Bar is great, and the Titan V2 is said to be a straight clone. Obviously the Transformer Bar is the king of the hill.

I think it is great for people with bad shoulders who can’t squat with a straight bar, good when you want to give shoulders a break if pushing a pressing cycle hard, great as both a squat and deadlift accessory movement, and makes good mornings, lunges, & using accommodating resistance on squats safer/easier to set up.

That’s a badass bar! My next toy will be a transformer for sure.

JSwain got one; he is busy being a new daddy as well but sent me a pic recently and it’s a beautiful toy indeed. Said he loves it.

Alright I’m back. I was off yesterday but weights were out of the question. I worked about 60 hours between Thursday to Sunday…Friday being a 17hr day and Saturday night bartending a dj party, which was interesting to say the least. With that being said my wife is awesome and sent me off each day with home cooked meals and snacks so “you don’t wither away” as she stated.

I’m still getting back to reality and I’ve decided to not start a new program until next when I’m settled in a little better. My schedule will not be like it was I was just working 2 positions at once to capitalize on cash flow.

Today’s session was pretty straight forward but at the same time way different. My shoulders are cooked and I definitely worked some muscles that I’ve been neglecting…delts. Wow. Everything went up a little slower today but I’m happy with all my working weights. Those 85lb very high inclines were a grinder but I was determined. Honestly, the hardest part is kicking them up once on my shoulders I feel like I could do much more. I’ve been kicking around the idea of dumbbell spotters for the rack but they ain’t cheap so we’ll see. Everything on the machine was very slow and controlled, also I’ve thrown fat gripz on the handles because it just feels more natural. Tomorrow is another off day then I’ll be pulling on Thursday morning.

 

[wfreiling]

How’s the new job going? I know it’s a long, hard week for you.

It’s good man. I’m getting a lot thrown at me but it’s gonna be great in time. Thanks for asking

 

[jinxie]

Impressive session after all that work! You’re getting a lot of value out of that shoulder press machine, that’s for sure.

I’ve been trying to find a cheap heavy dumbbell solution too. The company that used to make affordable hooks that hang from a barbell is no longer in biz. Bummer. I can’t get more than 80 lbs up with my Olympic dumbbell handles. Feel you.

 

[wfreiling]

Had a good pull session, though I had to use straps on the 295 deads as this hex is so cheap they opted for basically no knurling. Got the 100s on the incline db rows! Threw my 55lb bumpers down and put the dumbbells down on them so it wasn’t as much of a reach. Worked great. Again, I’m using straps for these… I got work on my grip strength. Next was grip strength work haha as well as some arm work.

Nice work getting back to floor height on the pulls - hope they felt fine?

Regarding grip, the axle stuff definitely helps. If you need to build some thumb grip strength, reverse curls with an axle really challenge that directly.

Dude they felt great! I’m actually going to try barbell next.
I did some reverse with the axle but didn’t note it as I was just testing it. Definitely a challenge

Had to get a quick workout in before another crazy weekend. I woke up tired and stressed out from work last night. I wanted to squat today but I also wanted to get some bench work in, so I did both. I’m happy with my squat numbers but comp bench felt super heavy. I’m trying out a closer grip inside the rings rather than middle finger on rings. This feels more natural and I feel like I have more power this way. It’s similar to my ohp. Not the most exciting workout but it felt good and tired me out. I think the next month at work is going to take its toll on me as I have a lot to fix but I’m still gonna train hard on a 3 day split.

On another note I’m almost through pct and I’ve held onto ~10lb so I’m stoked about that.

I’m jealous. High doesn’t feel good to me, and I’d love to narrow my grip for a tighter brace. Impressive numbers bro.

 

[SkRaw85]

In my mind I read it as a funny one liner. Your squat is high bro! I still have bartending in my head.
It’s like: “let’s eat out, grandma!” vs “let’s eat out grandma!”

Anyways, I completely agree. High bar feels best. Get all that trap padding and it just sits in the crook perfect.

About to drive back to Philly from the Catskills. Did a lot of thinking about training over the week. I’ve decided to be done with deadlifts, at least until I get this sciatic fully healed. Booked an appointment with my wife acupuncturist who she swears by and he specializes in athletes. Also, ordered 10/20/life on @Hyde recommendation. I think my training has to change a bit.

Tomorrow is going to be a bench day since my lower body is cooked from all the hiking I did. Went 4000ft up yesterday and I’m out of shape haha. I’m excited for this winter and strengthening/building my base.

I think it will be helpful overall. It’s a philosophy first, more than a specific template, but focusing on some of the bracing and walking and making the focus on pristine movement and building/maintaining an iron core will definitely translate to greater pain-free capacity.
