My 10 week Mass cycle Journal. 1 November-January 2011

week 7-day 6-Arms-This was my second day of arms in which I went heavy. I pushed some very good weight and I confirmed that I suffer much less when i go for 8 reps or a bit lower. I worked with the 8-8-6-6 rep scheme. both for biceps and triceps. Pump was very good. No negative sides

week 7-day 7-Rest-I stand at 207lbs after this week. Last Sunday I was standing at 206. On about 3 days during this week I looked the leanest I have been. I tend to suffer on high rep much more than when going low rep. But I saw better results in the mirror. Next week back to the heavy routine so I will go heavy for week 8 and 9 and then finish off with week 10 high reps. No negative sides especially no painful pumps and no gyno. A little bit of acne increased but that's all.

wow you were looking much improved at the 5 week mark, bigger and leaner.

good log also, short and to the point.

you looked great before the cycle also by the way, you def have decent genetics IMO

thanks Ozzie.

For the record, here are my photos last June when I was completely shredded. So I hope I will be much bigger this year thanks to this cycle (and maybe a cutting cycle).

week 8-day 1-Chest- Today was very good. Reached personal bests. Worked with the 10-8-8-6/dropset scheme. The fact that I started the week with chest helped and also because of the fact that I eat more on Sunday which usually I eat less because of work. This week is my 2 day chest week. It will be a bit packed as regards upper body workouts since the gym closes on saturday and sunday because of xmas. So my schedule will look like this: chest,arms,shoulders,back,chest high rep, (at the gym)
and legs (at home). I am doing this because I can work legs easily at home but I prefer going heavy on smith machines and heavy bars at the gym. Will see how it goes, but I will up my calories to increase recovery.

week 8-day 2-Arms- Today was good, had the time to sleep well in the afternoon so that's better. I kept the same lifts but felt more comfortable while lifting and form was better. I am eating more due to more hunger and also to finish off these last 3 weeks in style.

week 8-day 3-Shoulders- Today was very good. Had the time to rest and I got a personal record on the military press. I am much more hungry but I am eating more. Adding weight faster than usual of course.

week 8-day 4-Chest- Today was one of the best days of my cycle. It was my second day of chest this week and considering that I suffer a bit more when going high rep I did not suffer at all and I squeezed very close the weight which I lift on heavy days.
It must be the increase on food that is helping me that much. My body showed me that It needed more calories and It responded well when I did eat more.
