How about quit being a little b*tch and just Squat that crap.

Serious man, use that snake wrapped around your leg for a little extra balance. :D

You need to catch your air at the right time. It takes finesse to properly do a Front Squat, but you'll learn, as I did.

Yup, it's similar to bb hacks - if you do them wrong, it's pretty much impossible to do them at all.

It is a strict form movement and R was smart in doing with the smith machine until he found the grove. The only true way to get the most out of it though is free weight!

Thanks AZ I totally agree.
 
So I'm doing something of a mini-cruise through the beginning of next week. Dropped deads yesterday for some unilateral db deads. Proved very effective for the hamstrings and glutes. Also did several sets of chin-ups to failure; I hit 24 for the first set, with which I was pleased. Lateral raises, incline curls and calf raises rounded things out. Much less taxing than to what I am accustomed, a nice break that left me invigorated and refreshed.

I'ma be winding this log down over the next few days - I am about out of T-911 and will drop back to one a day in two or three days
 
Have fun on your cruise man..make sure to take lots of pictures
 
Sure mah man.

I would dose it 1200-1500mg/day. Mood was the first thing that I would notice. My mood instantly got better. More focus in everything I did (school, work, gym, etc.). Second, my appetite was fixed up real nice. I didn't crave any foods that would make me stray from my diet. Now relora is highly anti-catabolic. So I would take 1 pre w/o and 2 post w/o. I would do my cardio after weights. So I used it around that time for muscle preservation. With dropping my cals, I lost fat around my torso area BIG TIME while still maintaining strength if not gaining strength. It is a wonder drug and I believe it to be highly underrated. I can find some old pics on my old comp and post em up if you'd like. My back was looking uber ripped after about 10 weeks of use. I look forward to getting to that leanness again soon.

edit: oh and I took the other 3 caps spread throughout the day.

Alright, I'm sold. :cheers: 10 week run, huh? Is that a pretty standard duration to use it for?
 
No I've used it longer. I wouldn't reccomend going over 12 though. Makes weening off much harder. Have fun with it bro :cheers:
 
Any tolerance build up with it Met?
 
hahahha thats too bad man. There's always Anamaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures.

Well, the deed is done - 3 bottles of Relora are on their way.

I've had today off, so I introduced BW to "Pinky and the Brain." She didn't like it. I'm filing for divorce. ;)

So it was YOU! Did you get them from NP? - I went to purchase two bottles today, but there was only one bottle left. :lol:

Pinky and the Brain are incredible.

Nope, not my fault for once! I had a rebate code for another site, so they got my business instead. I'm gonna have to place an NP order here soon though, runnin' low on Leucine and Creatine Mono...

POIT!
 
So, I feel like it's been a while since I gave an update on my thought of T-911. I'm feeling like this bottle is lasting forever - 2/day really lengthens the cycle, which definitely has its benefits. However, over the last week or so, I've noticed a large increase in back acne. This isn't really that unusual for me to have anyways, but there's more than usual. Not an uncommon side effect for elevated t levels at all.
Increase in libido is now entirely dose dependent - i.e. 10-15min after taking a tab I have a severe spike in that regard, which gradually decreases with time, until I take another tab.
No joint issues any more whatsoever. I've been taking it easy the last couple of workouts, but I've seen some substantial increases in strength and even some weight gain.
Now, as I transition over to a different routine and diet, I'm expecting T-911 to make gains easier.

I found half a bottle of the original T-911 in the back of my stash, I'm considering tacking that on after this new bottle is empty. Thoughts?
 
I say do it man!! How long would that make the cycle last?
 
Sounds good man. Do it to it!
 
I am unabashedly promoting the deal that LegalGear has posted for GHenerate and I-GH-1:
Invalid Link Removed

The stack is $30! And a single bottle of GHenerate is supposed to last 60 days! That is a freaking steal people. Buy it!
 
for rizzle
 
Ok, so first day on new diet and new routine.

I'm now eating 4000 cals a day, with macros shifting throughout the week. I have 2 high fat days (ala Anabolic Diet), 3 high protein days (ala Charles Poliquin) and 2 high-ish carb days (one refeed day with a cheat meal, and one 40/30/30 day). It is no longer my goal to be ketogenic, so I've increased my carbs on low-CHO days to ~50-60g. This equates to some blueberries pre-workout, grapefruit or cantaloupe post-workout, and as many veggies as I can stuff down my gullet throughout the day. It's nice to have buttloads of spinach, broccoli, kale, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, asparagus, green beans, artichokes and whatever all throughout the day. I missed veggies.

Also, I'll be incorporating MST's Carnage on lifting days - a double dose (6caps) pre-workout. Considering it is just a BA product, I see no reason why it would interfere with my evaluation of T-911, and my sponsored bottle of that is almost gone anyways. I'll also be starting Relora as soon as that arrives.

T-911: Ever feel just plain invincible in the gym? Or start-up a movement you haven't done in months and find that what you expected to be heavy is more than light? Unexpected jumps in strength and lack of fatigue sat at the forefront of today's routine - along with plenty of lactic acid and very short rest periods. I'd say the strength and endurance is due to the increase in cals, but this is the first day of eating more, and I'd only had breakfast before lifting - so any change in diet couldn't have taken effect yet. It was T-911 following a good weekend of rest.

DB Press: 80s x15, 14, 12, 11, 9
SS'd w/ BB Row: 205 x15, 15, 12
I haven't done BB rows since I hurt my oblique. I was fully expecting 185 to feel heavy, but ended up using that weight as a warmup. I'm also doing less back-work than chest work because chest is lacking, and my back grows like crazy with the tiniest stimulus. I'm trying to even things out.

Incline Cable Press: 60 x15, 12, 10, 12, 10
SS'd w/ Wide-Grip Pull-Ups: BW x15, 15, 12
I like cable press - I can really concentrate on my pecs and feel them working; particularly my middle chest where I need the most work. The wide-grip pull-ups were almost an afterthought, but I put some effort in none-the-less. They kept my heart rate high and, I have to admit, working antagonistic supersets ellicits such a nice pump I just couldn't resist incorporating these.

Incline Flies: 45 x15, 12, 12, 12, 12
Unilateral DB Deads: 65 x12, 12, 12 12
Incline Flies? Meh - probably won't be using those again any time soon. Didn't feel like they did much. Uni Deads though - whoa! Hamstring and Glute activation like crazy! And with such a light load too! They're very oxygen-intensive though, so expect to breath hard if you try 'em. My hammies- ouch!

Lying Leg Curls: 95 x15, 12, 12, 12
Machine Calf Raises: 225 x15, 15, 15, 15
These were basically finishers - fried the last bit left of my thighs. With calves I've been executing my eccentrics as fast as possible - lowering under control, but trying to jump on the ascent. It's leaving my calves in pieces. I like it muy mucho.

So, this new routine is relatively high volume and definitely high frequency; it relies upon antagonistic supersets and short rest periods to keep the workout intense and brief(ish). I was all said and done today in about 45min. Now, I do expect tomorrow to take a little longer, as I'll be working quads/arms (I know I'm almost doing a split - Resolve gone wild!), but who knows, maybe I'll speed through tomorrow too.
 
Nice workout man! I enjoy reading your workouts :cheers:
 
Irish Cannon said:
Nice diet. I need to start shifting things upwards myself. I'd like to be in the 3k range.
Click to expand...

I'm hoping that in maintaining CHO at a lower level, I can gain some weight without gaining any fat. We'll see. This diet is pretty much the same "Regressive Keto Diet" that I used over the summer, but with cals and carbs increased.

T-911: Think I'm beginning to hit the point of reduced returns: benefits are beginning to feel less apparent. I'm feeling more "normal", as it were. But, considering that I've got only a couple of days left of the new bottle, this seems about right.

However, seeing as I'm now somewhat insensitive to its effects, I'm rethinking the plan to extend my run with my 1/2 an old bottle. Maybe pulse that somewhere down the road instead...

Anyways, yesterday's workout:
Narrow-Grip Smith Lockouts: 225 x15, 12, 12, 12, 12
SS'd w/ Controlled Cheat BB Curls: 105 x15, 13, 12, 10, 10
NMSLs are something new I've been wanting to try for triceps, and so far I'm quite impressed. They allow a good degree of overload on the tris (i.e. you can load up the weight) as your ROM is only a couple of inches. However, the dynamics of the movement are very different. CC Curls are normal bb curls, but with a greater load than what you can complete the set with good form. You perform as many strict reps as you can, and finish the set using a little "body language." It's one of the few movements where I actually allow "cheating," but I still try to minimize it.

Narrow, Parallel-Grip Chin-Ups: BW +25 x15, 13, 11, 10, 8
SS'd w/Kneeling Rope Tri Exts: 100 x15, 15, 12, 12, 12 Holy Mother!!! I thought my arms were gonna pop off during this superset! The pump was simply excruciating - it was preventative to using a heavier load on the exts. NG Chins and pull-ups, espeially weighted, are one of my faves for arms - the narrow grip targets them more and de-emphasizes the back. Basically, strap some weight to your waist and watch your arms grow.

Incline DB Curls: 35 x15, 12, 11, 13, 10
SS's w/ Incline DB Tri Exts: 40 x15, 12, 12, 12, 12
Yup, high volume. Gotta love it. Arms were practically numb towards the end there. They looked and felt massive, and today; well, today they hurt like Hitler's private corner of hell. I was feeling done, and I hadn't even touched my quads yet!

Leg Press: 180 x20, 270 x20, 360 x20, 360 x15, 180 x40
In my opinion the leg press is best suited to higher rep sets, where aerobic capacity would be the limiting factor if using a more demanding movement like the squat. Squatting 360 for 20 reps would make me a monster, but LP'ing it is quite plausible, because of both it's loading mechanism and the angle of motion, which lessons the actual force necessary for work. Not that high rep squats are bad, they rock, but there's no way I was gonna do widowmakers after what I'd already been through.

Unilateral Leg Exts: 85 for 3x20, 70 for 2x20 The more I use these, the more I like them. I avoided them for the first couple years I lifted because I was originally trained in the "machines are EVIL!" school of bodybuilding. However, as I've gained experience and knowledge, I've learned that my lanky limbs need a hefty helping of both isolation and compound movements to grow. And, for quads, that means leg extensions are a very good thing.
 
I've been advocating stacking both Formadrol and T-911. The effects seem to last longer that way. Take Formadrol at a lower dose of 2-3 caps, and T-911 just pre-training, or at the most once daily.

Good idea - I'd probably use Formex, but only because I can get for free. Around a month really seems to be the best length for T-911 use at 2-3/day, but I'm sure limiting dose to pre-training would lengthen one's sensitivity.
 
Formex dried my joints out champ...just a side I had from it.

Bummer, I didn't have any joint trouble with it. That stuff wasn't as potent as T-911, but I definitely liked it - I could see using it long-term at a low dose every day.

T-911: Down to my last 3 tabs - one more today, and two tomorrow. I'm calling it quits after that. Let my test levels re-equilibrate back to normal for a while. I saw my back for the first time in about a week last night - it looks like I'm in puberty again. It's going to be strange after the end of the cycle, I've gotten used to popping a couple of tabs each day. Not to mention the recovery benefits. I'm hoping that since I've been using a lower dose, that the strength I've gained will be maintained. In the past I've lost some strength both times after coming off of T-911.

Yesterday's workout:
Sumo Deads: 365 for 3x8 Yep, I just can't do a routine that doesn't incorporate good, heavy deads somewhere. Deads have got to be my least constant lift, load-wise. How much I can pull, and for how many reps, really varies from workout to workout. I just try to respond to bio-feedback and go with what the body is telling me.

Incline Cable Press: 60 x15, 15, 15, 15, 15
SS'd w/ Wide-Grip Pull-ups: BW for 3x10
I lifted at the med center, and their pull-up bar is coated with some slippery kind of rubber. Makes it incredibly hard to hold onto, which meant that I my pull-ups sucked. Oh well, next time I'll be at my normal gym. Cable press felt great, think it's time to up the weight - really able to concentrate on flexing my chest through this movement.

DB Pullovers: 100 x12, x12, x10, x8, x4
The DBs were coated in the same crap that the pull-up bar was, not to mention that the ends of the dbs were shaped as octahedrons. So the darn thing was a beast to keep in position.

I also did some machine flies, leg curls and seated calf raises, but I'm out of time - I should be leaving for today's workout right now!
 
Damn! Nice pullovers!
 
Anything 70lbs or more just feels painful for me.
 
Really? I thought they sucked - the shape of DB meant that I couldn't hang on to the darn thing. IIRC, I've done 3x15 with 115 in the past. Of course, that was back when all my numbers were much higher... Thanks for the compliment though :)

As a sidenote, a professor of mine was discussing something called a "catalytic triad" today, which consists usually of the amino acids Glutamate, Asparagine and Histidine. She was abbreviating those three to "Glu, Asp, His." So every time she mentioned these, she was saying "Glue Ass-Piss."
 
hahaha awesome
 
So today was my final day. I'll get a final review up tomorrow.

Any of you ever try Mead? It's a beer made from honey - a traditional drink of Scandinavia. I've been wanting to try it since I was a kid, 'cuz I read all about it in viking sagas and such. I found a place that sells it and finally was able to try it. It's pretty good, and I feel like a Norseman drinking it. If you get the opportunity, give it a try.

Sort of a middle-ground between wine and beer. Sweeter than beer, but lightly carbonated. Very light all around - good when you don't want something harder.

Exsqueeze me? I bacon your powder?

Scotch, Whiskey, and Gin, my man! - Rarely will you find this hand clenching a beer, and when it is, it's DARK!...Except I like Dos Equis Lager on occasion. :p

I'll have to try the Meade. Sounds exquisite. I don't drink beer too often, but I always enjoy trying a pint of something new.
 
Off topic, but I know you like television...

Man, I just started watching Dexter. This show is beautiful. At first I just thought it was about a serial killer, and then I found out he's a serial killer that only kills bad people, so I decided to give it a watch. It's so good. He's his own vigilante.

What he does is a little repetitive, but it's so awesome to see someone take the law in their own hands like this; do it the right way.

I've seen the first episode, and been meaning to watch more but haven't gotten around to it. Yeah, I definitely like the premise of the show.

We've been enjoying Modern Family - it's new, there're only 4 or 5 episodes out now, but it's pretty good. It's on Hulu.
 
Final Review

Starting Weight: 242
Ending Weight: 245

Notable Lifts:
Increase in Db Press from 100 x9+4+1 to 110 x10+5+1 (Up 20lb total and 2reps)

Increase in Db Rows from 100 x10+5+3 to 110 x12+7+3 (Up 10lb and 4reps)

Also had significant increases in Weighted Dips, Weighted Chins, and DB Shoulder Press.


I gained 3lb and significant strength despite my diet being ketogenic and at maintenance calories almost the entire time I used T-911. I fully expected the strength gains, and would have been disappointed had they not occurred, but 3 extra pounds was a pleasant surprise.

For those of you whom experienced the original version of T-911, you are acquainted with the abnormal rapid recovery that it provided. I largely had this same benefit on the updated version, but I did discover that the improved recovery has it's limits. Though 95% of the time I was bouncing back from my routines and feeling ready for more by the following morning, there were times when the stress of my workload and classes left me drained and exhausted, despite T-911's best efforts. Those, however, were the exception and not the rule.

I had the old familiar all-consuming libido that accompanied the original as well. For the first two weeks on this stuff, taking a tab meant that the ensuing 2-3hrs were a game of self-control. "Beer-goggles" is an obsolete term, T-911 goggles are what really makes every chick hotter. This began to taper with extended use, however, and by my final tabs yesterday, was not really apparent at all anymore.

I started with 3 tabs on lifting days and 2 on recovery days, but quickly found this to be hard on my joints - I had significant drying, primarily in my knees. This is not something I experienced with the original, at any dose.
So, I dropped down to 2 ed, and problem solved. No more joint issues at all.

Additionally, though I decreased dosage to 2 ed, I saw no decrease in rate at which I gained strength or any of the other benefits that T-911 provided. With the original, I always took 3 on lifting days. The fact that a lower dose of the new version provided roughly equivalent outcomes with the old indicates that this new AI may, in fact, be stronger. Or at least, that I respond more strongly to it.

So to recap:
- Significant Strength Increases and Weight Gain
- Fantastically Improved Recovery (Provided life wasn't simply overwhelming)
- Gorilla-style Libido (Like Alpha Male Silverback)
- Joint Stiffness at 3/day, solved w/ 2/day
- Approximately equal benefits with lower dose, compared to the old version

T-911 remains one of the best, if not my favorite, supplements. The updated version lives up to the reputation of it's precursor, and that's a lot. Considering a 5-6 week supply is ~$30, it's an outstanding option for packing on some extra pounds, both on you and the bar. The original was one of the first things I recommended to guys asking what's worth taking (after correct diet and the basic supps), and the new one won't be any different.

My thanks and sincere appreciation to LG Sciences for allowing me to log this, and simply for producing such a paragon.
 
awesome results bro..I miss the old version but the new version is nothing to complain about.
