Thundergod's Mad Methyl Meltdown!!!

PCT DAY 7 With PRIME!!

WAR REPORT: I am feeling truly invincible this morning! I dug down deep within the well-spring of power for the battle that lay before me. I emerged victorious. I am the conqueror!! Let's dive headlong into the darkness of the abyss!! :twisted: NUMBERS ## CHEST---INCLINE BENCH PRESSES: 315 X 8-4-3=15 total reps. Up 5 lbs. from where I ended my last blast. So I am uber-excited about this accomplishment! :head: DC sets still in effect here. 15 deep breaths for a rest-pause between the 3 mini-sets. All back off sets are performed with textbook precision and form. Very slow and controlled reps with even slower negatives, partials, and an occasional static hold on the very last rep. Back off at 225 X 12. And then an immediate drop to 185 X 8 that just totally fried 'em! I felt the muscles contracting very hard underneath the load. Growth WILL ensue!! PEC-DECK FLYES: 220 X 15!! PR. Up 1 rep from last week. Back off at 150 X 15. Then I immediately performed another set of Incline Benches at 155 X 15 just to kill 'em. It felt like a ton. PULLOVERS: 160 x 10. Up 10 lbs. from last week but lost 1 rep. I'll take it! This was very heavy though. I thought my arms were going to pulled from their sockets. Intense prayer prefaced this set. Back off at 100 X 15. ONE-ARM REGULAR CABLE CROSSOVERS: 90 x 11. Back off at 60 X 15. I used very good form here and got an excellent mind-to-muscle connection from it. I then went to the pec-deck and standing and facing the machine I grabbed the outer arms (ala viking grip) and performed 150 X 18. Awesome feeling from these. I wish some of you would try 'em and tell me how you like 'em. Pecs were full, pumped, vascular, and swole the fukk up! TRICEPS--STANDING TRICEPS PUSHDOWNS: 205 x 8-5-4=17 TOTAL REPS. Up 5 lbs. and I gained 1 rep!! But, oh, this sh1t is getting heavy now. Intense psyching up going on now. Back off at 130 X 18 reps!! :wtf::eek: Something is allowing me to grind out a lot more reps on these back off finishing sets. Is it Beta-Alanine, or the PRIME? :think: We'll soon find out! SEATED ONE-ARM CABLE EXTENSIONS: 100 X 10. PR. Up 10 lbs. but lost 2 reps. Will get 'em next time around. Count on it! Very hard set. I was growling, grunting, spitting, and straining with all the might in my Odin-created sinews! :box: Back off at 60 X 20!! I rested about a whole minute before attacking this back off set. I usually only rest 40 seconds or so. REVERSE-GRIP PUSHDOWNS: 150 X 12. PR with this weight. I upped it 10 lbs. from last week but lost 2 reps in the exchange. I'll get 'em back. I amazed myself on this one!! This is a hard exercise. Much more difficult than overhand pressdowns. Try this underhand variety sometime and evaluate for yourself. Back off at 100 X 18 freakin' reps!! :woohoo: Blew 'em straight up. It was hard to even flex them, they were so blown up! DB KICKBACKS: 45 X 10 reps. I felt so energetic, confident, and strong for this workout. CNS doesn't seem as fried as the last couple of workouts. So recovery time may be improving from the PRIME. I'm ready to go into uncharted territory for the rest of this DC type Blast. NO FEAR!!! :aargh:
 
Here's a few pics from last time around that I "culled" from the acceptable to use list. The sun was behind me, so strange shadows were cast. But they do show my mass very well.

I wish I could convey it to you and everyone! It is a state of mind really. A simple example of mind over matter. If you dont mind it, then it don't matter!!! :twisted:
 
you wouldnt need a script to play that role..in fact you could write your own! lets get d.c on the line!:woohoo:
 
The "acceptable" pics are much better though!

Marvel.

But I agree. TG, you'd make a kick ass Thor!
 
You guys are way too kind with those compliments. Yet, they are very appreciated. :box: It would be only fitting that a modern-day incarnation and manifestation of the true God of Thunder would play the role. I would be very proud to of course. But it's 100% not likely. I have real matters of good versus evil to attend to anyway. There is much gone wrong in our beloved Universe at the present time. The very fabric of infinity and reality will soon be put to the test. The Twilight of the Gods (Ragnarok) is close upon us. It is time to battle harder than ever before!! FOR GLORY, FOR HONOR, FOR ASGARD!!! :duel::hammer:

This is the viking's prayer. This is how a warrior faces death. I will NOT go quitely into the night. I will not go out with a whimper, like a frightened child. I will not go out in fear. I will face fate courageously, valorously, and victoriously!! And then I shall be hied away to the fields of home by All-Father's shield maidens: the Valkyries!! They shall escort me to the hallowed halls of my fallen brothers who have gone before me. To the sacred halls of Odin's Valhalla, where the brave may live forever!!! :box: Invalid Link Removed

F*CK YEA TG. That is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Have you ever read the book it's based off of, "Eaters of the Dead"? I definately recommend it, it's one of my favorite novels!

"Where the brave may live forever." Hell yea.:head:

I just sent him a PM. I should've done it weeks ago when I first talked about it. We'll see what gives. I miss him. He's one of my honorary Berzerkers of Odin. We need all warriors on the field of battle!! :duel:
 
This video is Fukking brutal! I think you'll like this one TG!

I am pretty happy with the Prime even though many people say it is tribilus. I am still as strong if not stronger during my workouts than I was on cycle. I am not saying that this is a stronger compound, but my strength gains have continued through day 15 of my PCT. I still have great stamina during workouts and have no problems with upper or lower body followed by 30 minutes of interval based cardio. I am also maintaining my muscle mass and seeing a pretty good recomp effect while being at a carolic deficit which is pretty exciting. I maxed out at 275lbs x 3 on bench on Day 10. I will see what gains I have made here in a few weeks.

That dude fully powned himself, that was intense.

Seriously. It takes some dedication to lift like that by yourself... especially squats.

And I am pretty sure that the Doom Crew members that were banned won't be returning to AM.

What did they do?

His squats were legitimate @$$ to grass, too, so yeah, mad props to that guy. He pushed until literal muscle failure, which was awesome to see.

Not trying to rehash any sore subjects, as the whole Doom Crew ban was a bit of a debacle for a while...

But, there was an issue between a AM member who I won't bring up as he has turned out to be a stand up dude and a great member of our community, that got in an verbal altercation with a doom crew member, it escalated for a bit but it got sorted out on the personal level between the two parties... but not before the mods got involved, and a few of the members had words with the mods and got the boot. That is the simplest way to put it.

I personally like it at AM, where as I think that some of the Doom Crew members are more at home at MD. Just personal preference of how we enjoy interacting with people. I still think that they are all awesome dudes, I just don't have any desire to spend my time on the MD boards.

Well put sir! I actually really like it over there, if you can ignore the BS that most newbs receive over there it can be a very comfortable place to post on. I noticed that you'll catch some $hit when you first start posting over there but it does go away usually.

Thanks for the summary, I always wondered where or more so, why Pantera went.

Pantera was banned for pm'ing people to go over to MD I think

Yea... I was trying to keep the details of individuals out of this, but you are right, that is why he was banned.
 
Damn Thunder! You are a mass monster! Keep killin it!

Thanks bro. I'm cutting it all up now. I'm actually about 5 lbs. heavier now than in those photos which are 6 weeks old now. But I'm harder and much more vascular now. My wife thinks I'm starting to look a little freaky! LOL I used to say that I didn't want to be really shredded, but I honestly do. I mean, come on, who is doing this, going through all of this pain, and making all of these sacrifices, that doesn't want to look as good as they possibly can??!! I will progress now no matter what it takes. I am not content to rest on my laurels and say, "Well, I got fairly lean that one time". Bullsh!t. I'm going to be big and lean from here on out. Into infinity and beyond!!Oh wait, that's not my line. LMAO
 
Motivation Time!!!

I will preface this with a quote from the philosopher Socrates: "No man has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training....what a shame it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." Socrates 470-399 B.C. Now for some inspiration and motivation!! [nomedia]http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_0BsSF0eb0[/nomedia]

Yes you do. I would sub instantly. It's great for motivation also. Even if I wasn't running something (like that will happen) I would still log workouts or something. It's addictive for me now!! LOL
