I was feeling pretty good today, so I said f*ck it, I'm going for the 120s. I managed to get 2 somewhat decent reps after the first lift off of my chest. So, I guess it was more like 3 reps, but I don't like to count the first push off of the chest. I was pumped that I got them moving, but I wasn't very pleased with form. So, I decided to give the 110s a shot. Pounded out 3 solid, clean reps. I guess you were being a little overzealous JJ when you said........but hey, I was damn close! Unless of course you meant by the end of the Arom-X. In THAT case, I think you may be underestimating ;). I don't wanna go making any claims, but 3 solid reps within the next 4 weeks seems to be VERY doable. Strength and endurance are still obviously increasing.

Libido has slowly been increasing as of late. I'm happy things are finally looking up (pun intended).

Sleep has still been kinda sh*tty, but it has been since like that for quite a while. A couple weeks before I even started this stack. And now, I have even more sh*t going on... I'm trying my best to re-acclimate myself to sleeping like a normal human being though.

Funny story for you guys tonight. I left the gym and went straight over to my old man's house to drop something off. He wasn't home from his MC meeting, so the step-mom let me in. Took my jacket off and sat down to relax and sip on my PWO shake. He came in and we were bullsh*tting for a few. After a couple minutes he stops and says, "wow, it's been a while since I've seen you in a t-shirt. It's so cold out all I've seen you wear are big hoodies. You're getting really big." I proceeded to tell him how stoked I was about my workout tonight and the PR I threw down. He thought it was pretty insane. Then he says to me, "you're not taking anything.....pause.....illegal. Are you?" I laughed at him and said nope, all OTC and completely legal. I know he didn't mean it in any sort of a derogatory way, he was just impressed with how much size/strength i've gained and being a concerned old man. Haha... But yeah, just thought i'd share that my old man asked if I was juicing tonight....

Well i see that your gonna be surpassing these number in near future...lol Keep up the good work man. Loved the story I bet it made you feel huge, it does me when people say stuff like that.
 
shifty, props to you on running a thorough log so that we understand everything about your stack. i personally am happy that you actually told us about the supplement and not wasted time with pointless information. your diet is in check and it appears that you are more than willing to take help. I'm glad to see that AMS got at least one good logger after the whole djbombsquad debacle. please keep logging during pct, so that we can see what gains you keep. Keep up the good work!

Thanks man. I really appreciate the words of encouragement. My log isn't nearly as popular as DJ's, but in this case, that's definitely a good thing... Haha.

And I will definitely keep the log going through PCT. I start tomorrow at 6 caps of Arom-X...
 
So, as i said before, I just finished up with the 1-Andro and 4-AD... I will be posting measurements a little later. To my surprise, weight is actually down a bit from a few days ago.... Weird. Catch you guys later...

Standing DB Curls:

Last two workouts (Stand DB Curls and Reverse Curls) were tri-setted. Hamstrings felt good despite last weeks weird ordeal. Managed to increase weight on just about every set of every exercise with the exception of a couple. Still feeling great.

I've only taken 2 Arom-X so far. Will be taking 2 more as soon as I eat my post-workout meal. And then 2 more a little later on. The Arom-X shouldn't effect my sleep like 1-Andro/4-AD should it? Are my dosing parameters optimal? Or is it more beneficial to dose at night before bed?

Measurements up later...
 
I would split it between morning and pre-bed. And no it should not effect your sleep.

From what I recall (and looking at the numbers) it was an awesome workout. I remember having sick pumps and vascularity. Hence, the burnouts with DB Shrugs. Oh, I also set a PR on Arnolds by doing the 70lb DBs

Super-Set every two exercises together (ie lat pulldown w/ t-bar row, inc. DB curl w/ deads, etc.) Sick bicep pumps today. Borderline annoying/inhibiting. Really the only exercises effected by super-setting were the first 2... Great workout. Feeling good. Libido has been on a steady increase. Very happy about that....
 
Ummm, just wanted to mention that my poop has had, at the very least, a slightly greenish tint to it, if not full blown green. Pretty sure it has something to do with the dye used to color the capsules of Arom-X. Anyone have any ideas if this could be a potential issue/concern? In regards to dyes and the digestive system.

Thanks man...

Yesterday at the gym I could just feel that I was going to struggle with the heavier weight on DB Bench. I think that can be attributed to poor diet as of the last couple days. Or at least I hope that's what it is. I will keep a close eye on this potential, slight decrease in strength...
 
Its easy to lose focus in PCT. Mentally just keep telling yourself your just as strong. PCT is as much a mental battle as it is physical at times. Sounds weird but if you "assume" your going to lose some gains in PCT you sort create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ate some good, hearty Irish food a few times today. Corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, all that good stuff. Strength was great. Up over last week even. Still having trouble getting used to those damn Front Squats though. Seems like anything under 115 and anything over 155 give me balance issues. If it's too light I can't drop my ATG well and if it's on the heavier end, I have trouble balancing or the weight starts to get away from me. I think next week I'm just gonna warm up a little with regular squats and then do 3-4 sets of 135. I hope I get the hang of these soon, I already like how well they work the quads even with this light of weight....

It's been a VERY hectic week for me. I've been trying to get a job with the U.S. Border Patrol and the required paperwork is absolutely insane. I just had the oral interview the other day as well. So, I haven't gotten much sleep lately. Eating has been sloppy and lackadaisical for the most part. Luckily I was on Spring Break this past week from school. Otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to function.

Biceps felt kinda weak today. I also had a little more trouble with the heavier lifts today (4th set on most lifts).

Oh I wouldn't doubt it. And I completely understand it being necessary as well. But the CBP appears to really be in need of people so the process is condensed down into about 1/20th it's normal length...

Not quite sure what happened, but Military Pressed sucked a big fat one today. I was fu*king pissed off about it! With 185 on, I hit the front of the rack (behind me) on my 7th rep (which I was really struggling with by the way) and it threw me off balance and I kinda got stuck with my arms just below parallel to the ground. I ended up having to basically drop the weight on the supports or whatever, which is just below chest level. Luckily I managed to do it without fu*king myself up at all... Needless to say, I was far from pleased with today's Military performance.

But from then on out, my workout went pretty well. Surprisingly, Arnolds went well despite troubles with Military. And everything else went decently well to slightly above average. Not sure what the deal was today. Any ideas as to why my Military may have dropped so much?
 
Ive noticed the same things on shoulder day, one week i can go up to 225 for 5 then the next week im back to 185 for 5...sucks

Kinda bummed that some numbers went down. I didn't feel like I had as much endurance as I've had the weeks prior. Most of the weight felt good at first, but I definitely began to fatigue much quicker.

Libido is working it's way back to normal. But normal for me is about the same as normal for a jack rabbit. And in case I hadn't mentioned this before, it seems like my libido ALWAYS takes a big hit on any kind of hormonal cycle...

The weight loss is not a concern for me right now (it's more of a goal actually), as I'm really gearing up for a big summer cut after PCT. I've been cleaning up my eating and actually following through with doing cardio quite often for a change. HIIT running always seems to get me to drop weight quickly too. Considering the weight loss, strength has not decreased. But I will keep note of endurance.

Cardio: 15 min. HIIT Run


Kinda bummed that some numbers went down. I didn't feel like I had as much endurance as I've had the weeks prior. Most of the weight felt good at first, but I definitely began to fatigue much quicker.

Libido is working it's way back to normal. But normal for me is about the same as normal for a jack rabbit. And in case I hadn't mentioned this before, it seems like my libido ALWAYS takes a big hit on any kind of hormonal cycle...

The weight loss is not a concern for me right now (it's more of a goal actually), as I'm really gearing up for a big summer cut after PCT. I've been cleaning up my eating and actually following through with doing cardio quite often for a change. HIIT running always seems to get me to drop weight quickly too. Considering the weight loss, strength has not decreased. But I will keep note of endurance.

HIIT cardio helps me drop the weight fasst too. I'm going to start it Monday to get me ready for my program's 3rd month of lifting and cardio... it's gonna be brutal !

What kind of program do you have set up for you big summer cut ??

Well, I was planning on Clen, but that's out the window due to circumstances beyond my control...

Probably gonna go with PAL's Leviathan and DCP now though.

Nah, unfortunately not. I mentioned towards the beginning of the log that I haven't had a camera for some time now... And honestly, a new camera is far from a priority for me right now. Lot's of other things to waste what little money I have on... :laugh:

I was happy to see my military bounce back a little this week. Still not quite where I was at while I was ON cycle, but it has improved a lot since the beginning of this log. Shoulders felt great today. I switched up Front Raises and High Pulls today. Made front raises a bit more difficult... And instead of doing bent over rear delt. raises, I set up an incline bench backwards and leaned forward against that. Felt like it worked the shoulders much better and definitely put A LOT less strain on my neck.

Libido has its moments where it's completely back to normal, but overall, it's still a bit lower than normal. No big surprise here. As I have previously mentioned, my libido always suffers a big blow (no pun intended) while on any kind of hormonal cycle....

Weight loss is still pretty steady. I know it's not a good idea to cut while in PCT, but I'm not really. I'm just eating a bit more healthy (smaller portions, more often) and doing a lot more cardio than I did ON cycle. So... couple weeks after PCT is when the real cut starts!

As you can see, I had trouble with Seated Calf Raises again tonight. On the 3rd set, the inner/front part of my right shin had an uncomfortable tightness and kept "popping." Same thing as last week. I think i'm gonna move to a different calf exercises because the seated calf raise machine is wreaking havoc on my shins and my quads (where the pads rest). So, I went and hit up 2 sets on the Standing Calf Raise machine... Not a big fan of that either though

Slowly but surely moving up on the Front Squats as well. Broke 200 for the first time tonight. I guess you could call it a PR. Haha. But seriously, I really like how well they isolate the quads. Very solid exercise. Thanks again for the idea Royd....

Anyone have any recommendations for a really good calf lift?
