Pretty long back workout today. Ran out of time and didn't get to squeeze bis in there. Strength is definitely still increasing even while being on a diet targeted towards cutting bodyfat. Going to the beach for a 4 day weekend for a bachelor party....the diet will definitely not hold together but I still plan to get a couple of workouts in. I might get a couple of beers in there too

Ok, missed a couple of days of putting my workout log on here. Monday was legs (felt great) and yesterday was back/bis (also felt great). I won't post the entire workout for those cause I can't remember all the weight/reps now. Tonight was chest and tris.

Chest

Flat Bench
135 1x20
225 1x10
315 1x5
405 1x4
365 1x5
225 1x16

Incline Bench
225 1x10
275 1x8
315 1x6
225 1x10

Close Grip Bench Machine
300 3x12

Dumbell Flyes
25s 2x10

Would have done more weight and reps on the flyes but by this point the pump in my chest and shoulders made me want to cry...I have never had such a tight and painful pump as I get on this stuff!

Tris
Skull Crushers
3x110

Short tricep workout....shoulders and chest were hurting so bad I just had to leave.

Also, I ran, or attempted to, on Tuesday afternoon after having done legs on Monday. Bad idea. The shin splints and lower back pumps set in after about a 1/2 mile and wouldn't let up. I have truly never experienced muscle pain that was anywhere near what I feel on this stuff. It's not an injury pain, just an extreme pump that is nearly debilitating (sp?). Gonna have to go easy on the running until I finish this cycle.

I will post official numbers after another 10 days when I am done with the 4 week cycle but so far I'm up about 10 lbs., my waist is getting smaller, and all my muscles are getting fuller. I had 3 people tell me at the gym tonight that they could tell I was getting bigger lately. That's a great sign!!

Triceps were so pumped from chest that I didn't do much with them at the end of the workout. Chest felt RIDICULOUSLY strong today though . I was able to throw 315 around like it was toy weights.....and to still get 225 30 times after everything else on flat? I mean come on, that is just phenomenal for me. This stuff continues to amaze me!!!! Today's workout has me really pumped about what the rest of the week has in store for me

Also, took my right arm measurement tonight at the end of the workout....20.25" flexed!!! I have put about an inch on my arm in 3 weeks, all while losing 3/4" from my waist. I love this Diesel stack

Thanks bro! I will post "after" pics at the beginning of next week, after I have completed the entire 4 week cycle.

If you are looking for a great stack man, I can't recommend the Diesel starter stack enough. Just drink alot of water and take in lots of protein and you will see (and feel) great results. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think this stuff would give me the strength and size gains that I have realized while on it!!!

how your joints feeling Bear. Thats some serious weight your moving. My joints were killing me by the end; mainly shoulders.

Funny you mention the shoulders....mine are constantly feeling like a knife is jabbed into them!! Last week my shoulder workout was a total of 600 reps with REALLY light weight all in about 25 mintues....I was doing a light, high rep workout to try and work out some of the pain. I went back to a normal, but shortened, shoulder workout tonight, which I will post next. I agree with you that the strength gains come quickly enough that some preparation should be taken to support the joints. I would recommend people take needto's joint formula during this cycle.
