Back/Bi's 9/2/11
Duration: 3 Hours
Mood: Aggressive
Energy: Limitless
Other notes: Considering the fact that i'm about 10Lbs heavier for this workout, These PR's are BIG like a 20Lbs+ increase in weight. Had HUGE pumps the entire workout and added some new exercises which ended working out really really good.

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)

Nice job on the PRs bet it feels real good. I know I do when it happens.
Goodluck on the hghpro contest..that'd be a kick ass run after testopro. And man its been so long since I used testopro but I would imagine its at full effect by day 10.
This myofascial softening sounds interesting..igotta look into that
Keep killin it bro

LOVIN TESTOPRO RIGHT NOW!![]()
NICE!!
Great reviews!
I'm hoping my EndoSurge gives me the same kind of results!
Let me tell you man, if you just push yourself beyond the last workout you will get results without even having to second guess any thing.![]()
Yup, that's the goal in all workouts. Specially on this recomp.
Then you are golden my friend! Let me know when you start a log if you do.

Diet Breakdown 9/4/11
Calories: 4230
Protein: 357 Grams
My appetite is starting to increase little by little. Who knows, i might get back up to 5k if i feel hungry enough. Pretty sure this is my metabolism kicking into high gear since i'm on my 2nd week of training/this log. I've been getting really sore this week too, i have proven in my overtraining log that after 3-4 weeks soreness diminishes despite high intensity/set training. So these first few weeks i'm gonna feel sore as crap more than likely but since now i have surplus cal's i should really start seeing improvements around the end of week 2/beginning of week 3.![]()

I live to train that way.
A short high intensity cardio session right after you workout (10 min is enough) will help the soreness. Toss in foam rolling on leg or back day and you are golden.
Keep killing those cals while the intensity is high.
Wow. This thread is really blowing up! Keep up the great work.
Ok so today for legs i MURDERED my entire workout, i am dead serious too. People were throwing Ronnie Coleman quotes at me today i felt like a freak. The belt helped me as well, honestly a belt does NOT make the weight lighter at all. Just felt more stability using it which was awesome it helped me crank out more PR's with better form. To top it all off, the guy who owns the gym/supplement store asked me about my current job and told me they might need some help to work there soon and i immediately told him i'd be honored, he was surprised but i told him i love it there. I'm sooo hungry right now, I'M GONNA EAT AN ENTIRE COW! Then post my workout for you all to drool at![]()
I like that as an adjective...MURDERED...quite nice as it rolls off the tongue...good work bro.
thetinyguy said:Murdering iron is killing with a smile (Parkway Drive?) Thanks man i'm so happy right now!
Congratz on the mean workout and the future job prospect. Waiting on the workout lol. Makes me miss being able to just go to the gym and do a full on volume workout.
I got a small room and a weight set lol.
I workout at home.
Later today when I get back home I'll post a pic lol. Btw that'll be in about 10 hrs lol. My work day starts now. It's 910am here in japan lol.
thetinyguy said:Little update, My appetite is SHOOTING up right now seriously. I'm able to consume more food more frequently now. I will try and get 4300-4500 calories now, I am getting leaner as well which is making me even more happy. Weight today was 225.2Lbs morning weight, (+6.6Lbs) The initial 10lbs i gained was definitely water/glycogen but that is a good gain as well. Strength shot right up after that, water is not as bad as people make it out to be
My goal is to be over 230Lbs at the end of this run and noticeably leaner. (This goal may change too)
thetinyguy said:Leg Day!! 9/6/11
Duration: 2 ish hours?? Didn't really keep track haha
Mood: EXTREMELY focused
Energy: More than enough
Other notes: Had a sick session today, Started using my weight belt and it made a huge difference. Didn't effect my back pump at all, i like lower back pumps! Hamstrings are getting a lot looser to the point where my squat is starting to shoot up since my form is on my legs more now then my lower back like before.
Lifts:
Rack Pulls-
225 x 12
315 x 5
385 x 7 *PR* +20Lbs
405 x 2 *PR* +40Lbs, Set was done AFTER 385, Next workout gonna go for 405 x 8-10!
Notes: After these sets instead of being wipe out i was PUMPED UP, I was so happy it was like a high.
Barbell Back Squats- Squatting to parallel again but now i have my ham's loosened up so my form is WAY better. Literally felt it all in my legs, was really happy with it!
225 x 8 *PR*
245 x 5 *PR*
255 x 4 *PR*
265 x 5 *PR*
Notes: Honestly these sets were a walk in the park, I couldn't believe how much better i felt with these!
Leg Press- Tried to emphasize my quads as much as possible on this exercise. Few sets i held the last rep short of lockout for about 10-15 seconds.
380 x 10
470 x 10 *PR*
560 x 10 + Negative *PR*
650 x 10 + Negative *PR*
Notes: Found out a flaw which made me 10x stronger on these. I was going down too low and putting the weight onto my lowerback pretty much. With the shortened ROM my butt never came off the seat like before and my quads burned 10x more.
45 Degree Seated Calve Raises/Standing Calf Raises- Did a circuit of 45 degree and standing calve raises today, supersets one right after the other then a 30 second rest then restart. Stretching them to death!
90/60/30 x 6 Circuits, For some reason i wanted to go lighter and do 20+ reps per set + drops. WOW this made a difference, calves on fire and HUGE pump. For a couple minutes i literally had freaky calves! They're without a doubt growing and i hope these higher reps + stretching are that perfect layout. We'll see!
Lying Leg Curls- Since high reps worked so well for my calves i decided to try it with my hamstrings, Worked like a charm.
75 x 10
75 x 12
75 x 18
75 x 26 *PR* +10 Reps
60 x 15
Immediately followed by stretching hams.
Leg Extensions-
300 x 5 *PR*
300 x 18 *PR*
325 x 15 *PR* Rest/Pause
Drop 4x (Forgot weight)
Notes: The drops had my quads on fire, literally had to limp around for a little bit.
I got a small room and a weight set lol.
I workout at home.
Later today when I get back home I'll post a pic lol. Btw that'll be in about 10 hrs lol. My work day starts now. It's 910am here in japan lol.
My god. Amazing workout. Making me wanna hit the weights even harder lol.
The end of my last run I was benching 360, weighed in just over 200 and did it all at a home gym. It's possible. A bench, squat rack and a bow flex (the cheap one) is all I had....
Nice rack pulls!
thetinyguy said:If i ever have a home gym it'll be one of those power-racks with an adjustable bench. You can do pull-ups/squats/bench/deadlifts/SOOO much. It's my favorite thing in my gym. Literally you can have yourself secured without having to worry about X amount of weight falling on you and you can attempt that 1 rep that you were contemplating because you didn't want to get stuck. WANT ONE! haha
Man if I could get a real squat rack. Haha would be perfect!!
thetinyguy said:I'm surprised there isn't a gym close by you, are you in a rural area or something?
Damn man!! with the PR's!! you're killlling this shiiit!
i think i need to take some notes on your leg work outs..definitely an inspiration for me.
one question about the leg presses..what do you mean plus negative??? excuse my ignorance haha
dude im lovin the fact you're feeling this TestoPro the way you are..im thinkin i gotta run this again
thetinyguy said:
Pretty much for legs i just always try to lift heavier, that goes pretty much for everything i train as well haha. The leg press "negative" means like say i do 10 reps but on the last rep instead of stopping the set, i slowly lower the weight into the middle part of the movement and just hold it there for 10-15 seconds while my quads burn into eternity. (best way i could describe it) No problem!
Me too man, this being my first test-booster i'm extremely satisfied so far. My next log will be DAA which will be amazing as well. I'm really starting to see this 600 x ? rack pull happening this year. Maybe even a 400+lb squat too :sasmokin: Food will be the only limiting factor on this, i'll probably need to be eating a lot more by the time i get to 240+.. Hopefully my appetite will be "full retard" xD
I'm thinking about increasing my strength a bit more. My long cut from may is kinda affecting my strength way more than I thought.
Might be a recomp with more cals. Hehe.
