8/25/14 Chest Day

Flat BB Bench (warm up R/C, bar, 135, 185, still waves of 1/2/3)
235/255/275/295x1/2/1 (Same as last time,looks like we have found another dreaded plateau. Meh, Plateaus were made to be broken, am I right?

Inc BB Bench 215/6/5/4+partial, 190x6+partial

Flat DB Bench 95'sx7/4

Cable Crunch 200x30/25.

Got in, kicked it out, hit the shower. Summer heat finally found it's way back to NW Ohio the last few days.
 
8/26/14 Rear Chain Day. Found another area were we are not only stalled, but seemingly regressing. Deads. I did tweak my form a bit more again, pulling my hands in a bit closer, trying to keep my chin tucked rather than looking to the sky and (trying to)wait till my knees were nearly straight before straining from the hips so to speak.

Deads (W/u on bike, then 135, 185, still 1/2/3)
255/285/315/335x1/2/1 This is frustrating. Not sure if the issue is loosing gains coming off the Osta, the form tweak or maybe too much volume packed into this day (which I would be less likely to notice when running a SARM) or simply the fact I did not sleep for **** Monday Night. Given the possibilities, I opted to cut the RDL's and we will see what happens next week.

Since I fail at the bottom when I fail at benching, I broke out something new: Dead Presses, set up in power rack with catch bars at just below chest level, start from the bottom, push, negative, pause a full second and breathe, push it back up again. Stunning how much less weight I can handle on these taking any momentum out of the equation. 185x8, 225x3 (shocking) 195x6 BURN!

Given that I now appear to be going back wards or standing still on almost all of my main lists, I decided that I need to get away from the wave/ladder training for a while, seems like I have been using that format for quite some time. I occurred to me that other than my deload at wk 8/9, I really have not had any periodization. Given that I still prefer lower rep workouts, I think I will go with a basic 5/3/1 foundation and then customize my assist lifts to ones that I tend to do well with. The advantage being I can still avoid too much cramping from high rep lower body work (due to vascular issues) and the program has it's own periodization inherent in it's design.

I feel that way on a lot of my lifts too. Not so much that I'm comparing myself to others but.........well, ok, yes I am. Competition and fuel to get bigger/ stronger. I was finally able to bench 295 last week for the first time since my fingers! Still not were I was before but it's getting closer! Once you start doing the 531, you'll probably break them pesky plateaus rather quickly.

I try to remember it's me vs. me. Hoping things will pick up again. Have some LGD-4033 on hand I will be throwing into the mix soon.
 
Started the LGD today, 5mg. I am thinking it is psycho-somatic/placebo affect but I feel a very mild euphoria and very energized, not a speed type energized, would just love to leave work and hit the iron. Seems very soon for that type of sensation, but if it is the LGD, I am not sure if I can handle 10 without becoming a dick, as I can see this sensation very easily becoming something similar to hypomania marked by irritability.

Don't really know much about LGD-4033.. so will be watching closely...

Think of Osta but many times stronger in anabolism but having all the upside of a SARM (No hepatotoxicity etc). This is supposed to require a PCT, am going OTC with Endosurge, Erase and MyoSynergy.
 
9/22/14 Day 1, wk one of 5/3/1. Started with the Bench work out because I had done shoulders/biceps and squats/triceps on Friday and Saturday of last week. The name of the game this week is "5's" at 75/80/85% Not sure if it is the LGD or the fact that I have not worked 5x10's in ages, but I was getting some painful pumps during the assist work tonight. Could be a bit of both. That energized, want to kill it in the gym lasted all day and was enhanced by (rough) 1.5 scoops of Stimaholic, my new fave PWO (Yes, I am a recovering DMAA Junkie)

BB Flat Bench (RC warm up, bar, 135, 185)
230x5, 245x5, 260x7 (sell out on the last set, may have had an 8th, but my right hammy cramped and I lost my base to get rid of it on rep #7)

EZ Bar Yates Row (I prefer these to BO BB rows as feel it more in my lats)
205x5x10 (going to give these a 5lb bump next week)

Inc DB Press 65'sx5x10 (These almost felt too easy so we will start with the 70's next week, maybe go 75's on the last few sets depending on how it feels)
Upper pecs were barking at me by the time I hit the last few reps.

EZ Bar Skull Crushers 95x10x5, these were getting down right painful pump wise by the 7th rep of sets 4 and 5. (5 pound bump for next week)

Tomorrow we grip and rip it with deads. Should be fun.
 
Onlychevy6 said:
You feeling the strength coming back? How much are you down now if at all?
Click to expand...

I have exceeded my pre-trauma bench press, have pretty much matched my OH BB Press and am close to my squat numbers. The deads are the only place I struggle to get close to being back on. As to the weight, I have been very hit and miss on the diet, that is (obviously) my own damn fault so I keep bouncing between 300 and 307, about 305 (still) on average. Maybe with the way I can run through my work outs faster with the 5/3/1 I can start hitting some cardio again. Also, the LDG appears to be helping regulate my blood glucose (was 145 vs. 166 this morning) which should help with losing some fat. Also started on a DCP 2.0 and Vanillean stack yesterday so hoping that will kick the metabolism into higher gear.

9/23/14 5/3/1 Day 2, week 1: Still working 5's

DL (wu on bike, 135, 185) 260x5, 280x5, 300x6

Deficit Deads (4 inches) 230x5, 240x5/5

Front Squat 195x5/5/5

Hanging leg raise 12/12/10/10/10

That feeling of well being was still with me during this day, the high energy had dropped of a bit but still was itching to get to the gym.

This morning (9/24/14) I had a bit of an "Oh duh" moment. Pulled the LGD and EVOO Mix out of the frige, did not sound right when I shook it. Opened it up and placed my syringe in and back out, the stuff had congealed. Heated it in the stove, and shook it again, good to go. No more refrigeration.

(EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
 
Kicked the LGD up to 10mg this morning, so far so good, very motivated to lift, no issues with feeling irritable or stabby.
 
Day 3, wk1 (MC1) Delts, still working 5's

Standing OH BB Press (w/u r/c, bar, 95)
160x5, 170x5, 180x6 Going down to the clavicle with maybe just a little "oomph" from the hips when things get challenging.

Snatch Grip High Raise - 95lbs 5 sets of 10. These were fairly easy till the last 2 sets, going to bump it 5 next week. Again, full ROM, up to the upper pec/collar bone.

Wide Grip Cable PD 160x10/10/10/9/9

Close Grip Bench 195x5x10/10/10/10/9 (Had been hitting 240x3x6, this was about the perfect weight for a 5x10)

Thew in some bicep work for S and G's

Wide Grip BB Curl 80x10/10/8, Standing Alt DB Curl 45'sx8/8x2 (l/r)

Post work out blood glucose was 89, despite the fact that I had missed my afternoon Glimiperide and Repaglidine doses. Not sure who owns the rights for LGD but they ought to consider it for a diabetes med.
 
9/27/14 Day 4, wk 1 (MC1) 5's

Back Squat (warm up on bike, 135/225)
280x5, 295x5, 315x8

Good Mornings 185x8/8/8

Leg Press Sled 410x8/10/10 (Been so long since I had done these, was not sure where to start. Target was3x8, but set 1 was too easy so I went with 10 reps on sets 2 and 3.

Cable Crunch 170x20, 180x20/20, 190x20/20.

Monday we start with triples at 80/85/90% That's right in my wheel house :)
 
All things considered, tonight did not go too bad. Got caught up in some crisis stuff at work, lunch was basically 2 1.4oz bags of peanuts and a few handfuls of animal crackers (yes, I know, not a great choice but beat hitting the vending machine.) So due to getting out of there late, I cut back on my assist work. I also noted that my PWO seemed a bit more potent on a nearly empty stomach.

Day 1, wk 2 (MC 1) Bench day, name of the game this week is 3's (80/85/90%)
Flat BB Bench (r/c, 135, 185) 245x3. 260x3, 275x4 (was hoping for 5 but hit my targets at least)

Yates Row (w/EZ Curl Bar) 215x10/10/10

Inc BB Bench 185x10/10/10

Body Weight Dips 5/5/5 (Not bad for a big boy)

Many Thanks Wasme,

Day 2, 2k 2 (MC1) 3's Tonight I think we saw some objective payoff on the LGD.

Deads (warm up on bike, 135/185) 280x3, 300x3, 315x5/6* Ok, either I was 2 reps above my target vs 1 last week or a added 15 pounds and matched reps (6). *Problem is, I was really pleased with how I did, walked away to top off my water bottle and moved on to the next movement and forgot to write down reps for the last set, so it was either 5 or 6. Significant progress either way.

Deficit deads (4") 245 5/5/5 These felt much easier tonight despite adding 5 pounds vs. last weeks. Will bump these to 255 next week.

Front Squat 195x5/5/5 Had to really grind out that last set, so we will bump these five for next week, of set one is too easy, go to 205.

Planks 30sec planked, 30 sec rest, 5 planks total.

Almost forgot, am taking on some extra hours on Mondays at work for 6-8 weeks. I may try to either go Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday or Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday(am)/Friday or do 3x/week rotation so a Mesocycle would be 4 weeks plus the deload vs 3 wks plus the deload.
 
Wasn't familiar with the LGD-4033 so I've been doing some reading. Looks to be some good stuff. What's it taste like?

Click to expand...
Tastes pretty much like the Extra Virgin Olive Oil that it is suspended in, so I'd guess the LGD is relatively neutral.
 
10/2/14 Day 3, wk 2=3's (MC1) Delts

Standing OH BB Press (w/u r/c, bar, 100)
160x3, 170x3, 180x6 (Matched last weeks sell out set at 170, boom, progress)

Snatch Grip High Raise (all reps to collar bone) 100x10/10/10, 105x10/10 (raising this to 110 next week)

Assisted Pull Up Body Weight minus 180 10/10/10/8+Partial/8

Close Grip Bench 190 10/10/10/10/10

Seeing some nice strength increases, the "alpha/on" feeling now only hits me for a bit shortly after dosing but I have been in pretty good humor for the most part.
 
10/3/14 Day 4, wk 2 (3's)
Back Squat (w/u bike, 135/225)
295x3/315x3/335x8 Matched last weeks 315x8, very pleased with this.

Good Morning 195x8/8/8

Bicep work was just to kind of hold onto what I have there as the 5/3/1 program does not have any bicep work.
