I will be in line for those!

Ate a little more calories today BUT i skated for a good 2-3 hours today which is about 1000+ burned calories. My friend actually grilled a bunch of chicken breast up and i ate about 18oz of it without a problem with rice and corn. I could have eaten more too! Body definitely wants more food and starting tomorrow...It'll get it! Tomorrow i will eat 3500-4000 calories then Monday is the start of TestoPRO & 5K Calories, i also will be using N.O. Ignite Tropical storm with this! I plan to log Peach Tea Lit-Up/Drive following the log of TestoPRO which will last approx. 4 weeks. Man i'm so excited to get back in the gym :sasmokin:

AI Sports hooks it up pretty nice. Careful with that 3Z Tiny, that stuff is potent...damn put me in a coma. Good luck with the TestPro!

sure does I use it only if I know I can sleep in. When my opportunity clock goes off I just feel like sleeping and when I want to get up I am still knocked out. I actually dont enjoy using it every night. I alternate hghpro most days and this on weekends or if I need a day off.

I'll keep that in mind, i'll probably buy 3Z sleeping sometimes is difficult for me.
 
Took my before pic's for the TestoPRO Log, god i need some color but you can get an idea of where i'm at so that's cool. I need to slow down with my legs maybe do less volume they're starting to overshadow my upper body. I also need to flex my right quad and right shoulder more often, when i'd flex my leg i always used left and i can see a difference how ironic haha From now on i will pose with opposite than i use to.

218.6Lbs as of today as well. Down 3.5Lbs since last week!

Log will be posted today along with link

Diet Breakdown 8/28/11
Calories: 4080
Protein: 265 Grams

Chest/Shoulders/Tri's 8/29/11
Duration: 2.5 Hours
Mood: DETERMINED
Energy: GREAT! Today i was extremely focused on what i wanted to accomplish.
Other notes: Utilized some things i used that have worked for me, Heavy weight with half reps and some cheating. There's always a right and wrong way to cheat. I felt confident enough that i used these principles today. I also utilized a technique to "amp" myself up right before a heavy lift. My heart rate would increase big time and i would focus more and more until..BAM start destroying a set. It's really tricky to get to work all the time but at the beginning it helps sooo much.
CHEST WORKOUT
Reverse Grip Incline Bench Press on Smith- Due to shoulder pain i do these in a range of motion i feel strong and do not feel it in any tendons. Also after a few heavy sets i go to normal grip because the awkwardness of this exercise on my wrists.
155 x 16 (Normal medium grip)
175 x 8 (Normal medium grip)
175 x 12 *PR*
195 x 8 *PR* HUUGE PR!!
Notes: This set the pace for this workout. Feeling invincible after this exercise!!
Leaning 1 Arm Dumbbell Fly- Awesome movement, I've tweaked it for my liking. Done across the front of my chest instead of out and over.
40 x 16 *PR*
45 x 10 *PR*
50 x 12 *PR*
55 x 12 *PR*
Drop set to
20Lbs
Cable Crossovers- One of my favorite chest exercises.
60 x 13 *PR* +1 Rep
70 x 6 *PR*
70 x 9 *PR*
Drop Set
50/35
Dips- Will add weight next workout.
BW x 3+3 Negatives
BW x 9
BW x 20 *PR*
HUGE Drop Set x 2(Did this once, then did fascia stretching then again another time BURNNNNN)
-40/-60/-90/-120/-140/-160
Notes: I Dips drop sets now!

29 Sets

SHOULDER WORKOUT- For those wondering, I train Rear-Delts with Back since i do a lot of pulling/rowing.
Seated Smith Machine OH Press- Did both half reps and full reps. Avoided locking out to keep tension on Delts/Tri's
65 x 12
65 x 13
155 x 8
155 x 10
175 x 6
Drop set to
125/105
Dumbbell Laterals- Found out that slight bent arms and holding my arms tight in at my sides helped me become more stable and put more focus on medial delts. Had a crazy pump today it was awesome.
50 x 14
55 x 12 *PR*
60 x 12 *PR*
65 x 10 *PR*
Drop set
40/35/30/20/15

Amazing workout, Can't wait to see how i do next workout. Took good rest periods during the workout 2-3 Minutes some longer/shorter.

them kind of calories would make me fat if I didnt burn them off all day though physical work? are you still doing a lot of physcial work?

Nope, but if i do start getting fat quick i'll lower calories but as of right now everything seems good to go. I'm taking weekly pic's for that log so that'll let me know when to lower them.

Your doing good and finding what works to build size and strength. The only thing I could critique is Id definitely keep an eye on body-fat and if your gaining too much lower calories. The more body fat you have the less calories it takes to store therm. Leaner persons can actually eat more because their metabolisms are higher. It took me years to learn a lot of this information though trial and error. I got real big, and too fat for my liking and its just almost hell to get it off. Staying leaner is best-that is not to stay stay ripped-just on the leaner side

how often do you do caliper body fat measurements? you obviously weigh yourself frequently

also remember each lean pound of muscle you gains automatically burns fat so you are actually burning fat just focusing on lean muscle gains. In addition too much body fat causes the body to work poorly, ie high estrogen and many other challenge you can avoid by keeping fat in control
 
Glad you're cutting down on the whole milk shakes and getting that chicken in...Thats smart (epic meal time guy voice lol). Keep hitting it hard bro, looks like you're doing well looking forward to the next round of pics.

I got ya John, I do have a caliper i should probably use it but I've been going more off what i see in the mirror. 4000 calories is more on the low side for me, Especially for training days too. Days off 4000 is a little bit more but i off set it with those 2-3 hour sessions that burn 1200+ calories. I could probably lose fat if i dropped to 3500 but i want to eat a little bit more. I'll make sure i don't get higher levels of bf anyways i don't want to get fat again haha
 
Just adjust your macros

Everything is pretty good right now but IF i decide to lower calories it'll be from fat, I'll keep carbs/protein high. :)

Duration: 3 Hours
Mood: Aggressive
Energy: Limitless

Notes: Still trying to get the movement down, The key that separates these from bent over rows is you stand up more and pull to your hip. Feel these in my lats/rear delts/teres area. AWESOME!
EZ-Bar Preacher Curls- Friend showed me how to do these with the hyperextension chair, Never would of thought of that! I've been wanting to do these and they're now my favorite bicep exercise. Weight is just the plates (don't know how much the bar weighs)

Other notes: Getting REALLY strong, really quick. Being very cautious of my body as well. I'm also getting leaner now too! Weight is now 226.2Lbs (+7.6Lbs) The fact that i'm leaner too is making this amazing. It could be the combination of Beta-Alanine + TestoPRO making me leaner/stronger at the same time along with the cal's.
