[pilip99]

hey bros; so I'll be posting up my log here for anyone who hasn't seen the results/information from my log. You will be able to see the progression on a near day-to-day basis. PM me if there are any questions or anything

I'm almost midway through my PCT and I have kept all my gains so far! so that's always a good thing haha

here we go... enjoy

Diet

I will expand this as the log goes on!

On Cycle diet: around 3000 calories/day
PCT diet: around 3500 calories/day

Training Regimen

Tri-Phase Training with added volume. For anyone not familiar with this, it is a pretty solid routine for 9 weeks and I like how it is periodized as well into different micro-cycles.


Cycle will start Friday, Nov 5th 2010.

 

[pilip99]

So today's "plan" was chest and shoulders. But I was thinking about it and I usually hit shoulders with a lot less efficiency especially if I pair it with chest. So I did just straight up chest onslaught!


Baseline weight for cycle: 163.5

Mood level

At baseline, just calm and good

Strength level

Good! I base this on the deload week that I took before starting this cycle

Endurance level

Good!
