Week 3 of my super-simple, ultra-conservative newbie Deca (winny towards end) cycle. I'm definitely feeling good these days.
I'm a weakling, so don't take too many shots at me... but so far here's the rundown:
Today's chest day so I'll see what I'm really up to, but last week I was already feeling better than usual. Up about 10lbs across the board on dumbbell presses and my endurance was sick. Got 4 reps with the 110's after doing 3 heavy sets incline, 3 sets flat. I couldn't do 110's for one rep 2 weeks ago(!). Finished with three sets of 100's on decline (never done over 80's decline).
Bi's were on last monday too, so no huge increases but I got 135lbs on straight bar for 8 reps clean. That's good for me, I was a happy boy.
LEGS are definitely improving. Friday was leg day, and it felt awesome! 4 sets of box squats (free squat rack, sit down on bench w/ thighs parallel to ground, pause, press). 225x12, 315x12, 405x12, 455x8 with failure on 8th rep. Then I did 4 sets of lunges and the rest of my leg workout. Good stuff.. 70lbs heavier than I've been able to squat for one rep max in years... and I did that 8 times! I think 500lbs squats are right around the corner!
Only gained 2lbs, up to 181lbs (and holding), but we're getting there. Feeling great! Thanks for all your help and motivation guys.
