nice rack pulls bro

Thanks they were really really really challenging haha
I think the rack pulls/bodyweight pull-ups should start getting my back to grow at a better rate :)

rack pulls are great for back-width and pullups and pulldowns for width

and for the sweeping lats , row type movements, t bars, barbell, dumbbell, and cable

Really trying to cutback on the sets, the beating the muscles take from these compounds are bar none to any isolation movement I've done. Going to try and just get in/get out from now on. I don't want to get to HIT again though, 1 set was just not enough. So 2 sets i will go for PR's and 1 set kind of a pump set so i can fascia stretch.
 
You lift for a long Time!

This is nothin haha! I used to train for around 3 hours and 70+ sets. Now going for 1 hour or less workouts and less sets but more intense.
 
Honestly that's the best idea unless you are on a cycle.

Yeah good point, there's a guy in my gym that trains like that and he's HUGEEEE and doesn't even use heavy weight. Makes me wonder how i'll look on cycle with my style of training...

Are you planning a cycle soon??! you'd probably be one of those freaks of nature who gains 20lbs lean mass off epi ahaha..not to say you dont put in the work..

awesome work out bro..makes me chuckle that this is your version of stepping things down. this is also sorta outta your norm routine correct? looks kinda like a full body type run.. i havent done that for a min

Maybe.... ;)

I guess i should say i'm stepping down from more sets.

Not really, all i did was add forearms/calves to every session that's pretty much it. Calves seem to be responding i definitely see them growing a little bit. Forearms not yet so i'll have to figure that one out.
 
right on man..forearms are somethign i'd like to work on as well, but it seems i always forget by the time im hittin the weights..

c'mon man..cant hold out on me with this cycle info!!
im gonna start rs-transaderm and epi-strong shortly....i had the opportunity to throw in some ultradrol too, which i reallly wanna run, well i decided its just not the right time. fooock.. know ill be kickin myself in the ass for it later.

anyways man, would this be your first cycle?

Same here, they aren't really that bad but i want to get them improved.

That would be a strong cycle, superdrol ain't no joke from what i hear. If that's your first cycle it's probably better you didn't stack in ultradol too, you could respond extremely well just to epi-strong and make sick gains.

Yeah, not messing around either just going to the real thing. Most likely will be D-Bol/Proviron at 10/20/30/30/20/10, Just to give my body some of it and see how it responds.
 
Yeah actually ultradrol I guess might be compared to superdrol as far as gains, but the sides are next to none when sat next to SD..ultradrol is methyl stenbolone.. stenbolone being an oldschool injectible popular in the 80s..it looks promising, no doubt ill give it a shot down the road..

Got the hookup on the real thing?? Nice man, I think that's definitely a better way to go hands down...

Ooooooh, in that case sounds like a really good PH. Are you gonna log it when you do it?
 
Yeah I might..lol sorta already regretting turning it down..was gonna be one hellova run..I've heard alotta good things about transaderm and epistrong tho..so its gravy

I take it ill see a log from u when u start the dbol?
