My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[Tweakle]

Whatever you think you'll do, you'll do - you set yourself up for either success or failure with the mindset you take approaching the workout. When I have to pull, and I feel like a little girl then I'll sometimes just skip the workout entirely because I know that I'll mentally psyche myself out with negative rationalizing (my knee hurts, I didn't eat enough, didnt sleep enough, etc) which are just excuse for setting myself up to fail.

Don't think about it, just pull it. 275 is nothing, you should get that no problem.

Im am a very positive thinker bro...I just know right now how I barely got 260 last week....it's the sets before that that truly ware me out.....got a couple good meals left so I'll go for it, but I know I am setting myself up for failure....5lbs increments were ok, but moving 5lbs on all my prior sets than 15 for a max is a ton for me....remember I weight 161 and am extremely fragile state right now....something tells me I would be stronger if I rested for a good month and came back...I bet I'd do 275 right off the bat.

but you are on AAS, and you should be going all out, lifting as much as you can, busting your balls and taking advantage of the goodies.

We'd each be stronger after a one-month layoff. Any active athlete carries fatigue around with him from day to day unless he makes a major effort to deload, usually for a big competition. Suck it up, bear down and head into the wind.

Trust the Test and Eq to have some effect on making you stronger and enabling recovery not only between sessions but also between sets. Believe in the combination of yourself and the solid training to culminate in a successful lift.

Lifts sometimes fail but never let that failure be because you didn't believe in yourself. At this stage in your cycle, I think you have an excellent chance not only of smoking the 265 but also of taking a decent stab at a second, even higher, top set.

Bros, Bros, Bros,....I am suffering from a condition NONE of you are familiar with...it has almost layed me to rest....Going from 230 to 140 was no joke.....imagine feeling lightheaded, cold, shaky, stomach feeling like knives are penetrating every time you eat....skinny arms and legs and trying to train....I ALWAYS ALWAYS train ballz out or I wouldnt go.....trust me...people dont like me at the gym cause I am not there to BS....I dont talk, dont smile and people hate it...but after Im done, I am fing great to be around.....I just love my pw meal and shake so much, but then my stomach kills me again..lol...vicious cycle

ANYWHO, the test and eq are 1% of the equation....I have five weeks left of an incrediblllllly low dose just to get me where you guys are naturally....it's sub 250g......nothing...maybe in 5 weeks...if I can get to 175, Ill go with a true cycle....but from now, cruizn and to be honest I dont feel any different...

Jeff, everyone is gonna have bad workouts on the journey. If it weren't for bad ones, we wouldn't appreciate the good ones, right? You just need a little adjustment of rep schemes and some exercise subbing and should be back on track, don't let this get to you mentally.

On a bright side for you, Ohio State won.......How about Mt. Union? They should be kicked out of D 3, lol.

Well big t thanks.........I think I'm done.......

Now on a serious note............



my plan for this poast week was :155x10, 190x6, 195x6, 200x6, 205x6, 230x2, 265x1 as it would push every weight bu 5 lbs....I was scared of 265 but I went at it....first 5 sets were ok.....230x2 felt good so I hit it for 4......195 felt good too so I hit that for 8 instead of 6........time for 265, struggle but got it up.......so I went after the big boy.....275.....foguht and fought...and yanked it for what felt like 3 minutes....in the locked position I swear I just held it up for 25 minutes...layed it back down and said "HELL YA".....made for a good weekend....although cals have been low, which they normally are on the weekend, i had a good arm session yesterday and I got squats today in about 3 hours.....do me favor and read my squat ?.....my knee is really giving me some issues and I am not sure if Im doing damage to it...it's in the WL forum...
