AA - Starting Omega Project 1/17/08

Hello all,

27yo, 5'9" ~160lbs. Lifting off and on for 11 years. JUst started back up a year ago after a 3 year lay-off. I've been heavier and lighter but here are some pics in current state:

I feel soft because I've loosened up the diet a bit due to the holidays and lots of vacation time. Plus its winter time.

I am 100% natural and looking for a major changeup.

OMEGA-I will make my first log entry in this thread in a couple weeks as to the key lifts. I can also post new pics every month to show progress.

Yea you are gunna do freKING AWESOME. are you gunna go at it natty?
 
Thanks everyone. Yes I will be natty. Scared of Johnny Law.

Couple questions just to be clear:

1. The wait time between all sets is 30-45sec? ouch
2. The last set is a dropset immediately following the set of 7 or wait 30-45 sec?

Also, I am up to 170 after spending a week in NYC, I am starting the portion control today and just getting ready mentally for the program.
 
45 second is good ( no ouch lol)

Drop set is DEF asap, right after with 25% less weight NICE and SLOW
go for full on PUMP
 
OK, tos the official start date and I am sick as a dog. I can't barely breathe throiugh my nose so there is no way the leg workout is happening tonight. I should be able to squat again by 1/10.
 
Update: Still sick. Somethings got me good this time. I am very weak and have no energy. I am taking the rest of the weak off and the doc has me on some much needed meds.

Questions:
My gym does not have a truly vertical smith machine. Do you want us pushing forward or backward on the motion?

Observations:
I started to high on the squats and failed due to cardiovascular fatigue not muscle fatigue. Will start lower next time. Also those 3/4 squats on the smith feel really different on the knees.

I had trouble sitting still in the oblique apparatus as my legs were shaking badly. Are those supposed to be 3x20?

What is the rep scheme on the SLDL?

Felt good to workout again.
 
I am on nightshift this week and forget to set my alarm for PM. I didn't wake up in time for my back workout, so I guess it is my first day off. I was really upset when I saw how I messed up but glad I was up in time to get ready for work.

I slept almost 7 hours which is alot during the day.
 
good numbers bro

Went up to quick on the one-arm seated rows (1st time on that machine)
Also the curl bar at the gym is heavier than the EZ bar at home so I blew my bicep workout. I weighed it and will adjust accordingly next time.

Need to work on the laterals and will stay at this weight for a bit.
 
your doing great so far

dont get caught of with the T level issue

because your taking creatine and your diet is on point you goign to do well

also you t ratios are not that bad especially since your more of a runner/track build

it WOULD be an issue if you had a shot putters frame
 
Thanks O

I saw the doc the other day and he seems very eager to help. I am going in for blood work this morning and he says, pending results, "a little HC.G might be all it takes to boost things up a bit."

He seems very knowledgable in ant-aging, is an ex-powerlifter and goes to my gym.

If I can get my levels to get to the top of normal or at least double I bet I will see a marked improvement in my physique. I'll keep you posted.
 
just be super honest and confident this is a REAL need and health issue

tell him to boost thing to the high end because it will aid to the quality of you life

Leg workout is becoming much more natural. Legs aren't shaking as much and strength is up. I had a great realization today that a few months ago before I started 5x5 and omega program, my max leg press was ~440. Today I did almost 400 lbs 12x. As my leg strength goes up I feel stronger than ever.

Current bodyweight is 162 in the am and my electronic scale is reading a lower bodyfat reading which corresponds to what I see in the mirror.

I have a poor mind-muscle connection with my left calf and am concentrating on making it bigger and more defined like the right. Any suggestions?

I am on nightshift again and ready for a day off after 5 days in a row of working out. I slept 5.5-6 hours today so hopefully tomorrow will be 7-8.

Also, doing this workout w/ plate loaded dumbells at home is a PITA. Having to jump down load plates and adjust collars in 30-45 sec can be challenging to say the least. I can't wait till my rotation lands the chest workout at the gym so I can incorporate the correct machines and cable flies.
 
Your training varies, which is a form of stimuli:)
As far as the collars of the Dbs,DONT do drop set, do a thing called "REST/PAUSE"

so for example of 50'ls are your 4th set on Flat DB press, take a 30 second break and pick up the 50 and do the 5th set

if you have any Q's pm me

keep pushing till phase 2

I had to improvise on the first calf exercise cause some meathead was sitting on it and sociallizing for over 10 minutes. I did the Hammer strength machine next to him so I could keep moving, finished my smith-squats and finally he unloaded it and moved on.

I am coming off nightshift and switching back to day schedule which makes workouts extremely difficult. I still finished the legs but did not have enough energy or ambition to finish abs or the SLDL. I got 5.5 hours of sleep today after I got off of work at 8:30 am. I am hoping for good restful sleep tonight.

I recieved the creatine in the mail today so I am loading that with my post-workout shake. I am looking athletic and strong at the gym.

Omega-thanks for the tip on the rest-pause. I feel that will be much more efficient and effective for the home workouts.

I have found rest to be much more important then i ever thought. I've never done this type of volume and intensity before, that's probably why.

I am enjoying your log, good work :artist:

Had to skip abs because coming off a rough 16 hour day I was physically and mentally exhausted. Nothing is more intimidating to me than these high-rep squats. I wish I would have read the REFINEMENT before tonights workout. haha

Had to do a bit of rest-pausing through the full squats to get all reps. I'm glad I did it. Tomorrow is easy comparatively speaking.

I recieved my bloodtest results the other day and it appears every hormone in my body is low which may help explain my plateau. I just had my prolactin levels checked and the doc ordered an MRI for my pituitary gland. It has to be pre-approved by insurance and was told this may take a long time. Knowing I do not have the correct anabolism to make gains at the moment is extremely depressing and I lack motivation to go lift weights. It feels as if I am wasting my time.

Total Test: 262
Free Test: 67
L H: 1.9
F S H: 2.4
E: 15
DHT: low
SHBG: low

I need the MRI cause doc thinks their may be something wrong w/ my H P T A.
 
Your NOT wasting time:) you earning your hard work stripes

also the level 2 supp regimen will help ALOT for you, and then by the time you get either HRT or some other form of amelioration you will explode with new growth.

be positive, and know that your on you way to a better life.

I decided to finish up a bottle of dermacrine I have laying around until the doc comes up w/ a plan. Omega I did this before I got your pm. I figured the same thing.

The shrugs and curls are getting heavy I think it is the first set of 20 that is exhausting my muscles. I will lighten that up and see if it helps.

I am switching back to graveyards so I slept like shit today. Not very restful or rejuvinating. I have found the home leg workout to be much more demanding than the gym workout for legs. Mostly it is the first sets of squats just obliterating my cardio vascular. Oh well, I can feel new, harder muscle when I rest the bar on my traps and that keeps me motivated.

I dropped weight on the set of 20 to be able to keep progressing on heavier sets. The workout was muchg easier.
 
for some reason I have the same issue

at the gym I can lift at least 20% more

i think it has more to do with the environment, music, women :) etc


you can always opt for lighter workout at home since I think you only do this 1-2 times a week. This wont hinder your gaines

Finally saw the endo today and the MRI came out fine. He prescribed me Test replacement because of a sluggish pituitary. He wrote me a script for 100mgs every 2 weeks. Gave me one refill of 10 ml of 200mg/ml test E. I was excited to get the script but very disappointed in the dosage.

In two months he wants me to go back to check test total and free.
 
its ok it all come down to tests

IF you are still feeling sluggish then have him gradually up the scrip
t you can do this, but you might have to annoy him

fyi 150 mgs week put alot of people in the higher range go for that

also the fact you got a script protect you a bit if you choose to just get Test online

:qt: see the silver lining in it? :)
 
meaning if you get Testosterone elsewhere you have a script to prove you NEED it

its like people going to Canada or Mexico to get personal drugs since they are $$ in the US

they are allowed "personal use" amounts

Really good workout today. Crazy pump in arms. Added the 10 % weight increase on chest exercises and couldn't get all reps on incline dumbell and crossovers. I am doing the rear delt machine cause I cannot do military presses due to my left shoulder impingement. Hopefully it willl go away in a couple months, militaries are my favorite exercise. I am looking forward to starting the TRT or other regiment to get my hormones back. I can't wait to experience the strength and confidence that I used to.

Another really good workout. Feels like the Dermacrine is really starting to work and now my bottle is almost empty. Oh well, should be getting the real thing soon.

Had to do the one arm rows and pulldowns out of order since the machines were taken. The cables are wreaking havoc on my delts, I really enjoy the feeling. Can up the weight next time, still have good form. I picked up 95 lb dumbells for the first time ever today. I need to drop the weight on the first set of curls or I will never finish the heavy sets. Still working on the reverse curls at 35lbs. Can't finish all reps but will try for one more per workout til I get there.

Still having trouble on the cheat sets due to exhaustion and not being accustomed to letting my form break down. I am adapting and will get it soon.

Another good workout. I cruised through the leg press and the 325 lb warmup set of 20 felt like an empty sled. I did hit the proverbial wall sometime between the Smith-Squats and SLDLs. Most of my time between exercises was spent trying to catch my breath. Forgot to cheat again today but failed right on time. I am anxiously waiting for my doctor to call.

Omega, I am sorry I did not realize I should be continuing the cardio after chest/back days. I will add this right away. I am also getting a bit sick of my belly so I'd like to start leaning out if that is okay and not a major change w/ the program. What should the cardio be 14 or 21 mins?

Making good progress on the flat hammerstrength press but not on the incline dumbell. The set of 20 is burning me up too badly.

It sure has been a restfull week off.

Terrible workout today. This is typical of the workouts when I rotate from nights back to dayshift. No energy, no motivation, still waiting on my test script, depressed. Had to improvise another back machine cause the HS Row was being used. Made good progress on the cables and delts are feeling good. Couldn't get the heavy shrugs cause the gloves on my hands hurt my grip. Might be time for new gloves. Couldn't finish the reverse curls and no fuel left in the tank for cardio. Hopefully tonight will bring good sleep and tomorrow will be much better.

Felt much better today. Couldn't get the heavy set of leg presses but will try again in a few days. Had to substitute standing calves cause the seated was getting sat on. Smith-squats went better today and weight incresed. I can see more definition in calves/quads. Leg Curls are getting heavy. I hate em anyway.

Ran out of dermacrine today but my Test came! Will be taking my first dose of test replacement therapy in 5 mins. Its only 50mgs a week but I have less than that naturally so it should be a welcome change. I am gonna walk a few miles to make up for yesterdays workout and get the oil moved around. I will take more pics tonight.

Still not happy w/ abs and love handles. Need to tighten up the diet and will increase the cardio. I took these as a reference as to what I look like before hrt and will hopefully harden up and fill out.

Personally I don't see much change except for the quads and calves.

Didn't feel very good today. I reached a point on my pulldowns at home where I need someone to hold me down or the exercise turns to pullups. I don't thave the knee restraints like the gym does. Dumbell rows felt much easier than before. My cable setup doesn't work well at all so I skipped the rear-delt work. Had to use a barbell for shrugs because I don't have enough small weights for the dumbells. Started too high on the barbell curls and ran out of time and energy to finish the reverse curls and the cardio. I had guests this weekend so my training was put on hold and my diet was lackluster. Drank for the first time in 2 months. It was fun though.

Still feelining lethargic, depressed and week. The test made me feel good for the 2, 3, 4 th day after injection and now I feel the same as before. Soft and week. I don't think the doc realizes how bad people can feel when they take their sweet-ass time w/ treatment.
 
"The test made me feel good for the 2, 3, 4 th day after injection and now I feel the same as before."

there you go, proof to me, that the level prescribed is NOT enough

get a new doc or supp on your own

if it were me I would give the Doc Hell till he give you 250 mgs a week

fuck him

Okay workout today. Squats killed me again.

Omega,

I understand where you are coming from, but the truth of the matter is it took me this long to find a doctor to actually listen to me. Two others said my levels were normal and cancelled appointments. It is just a long drawn out process. With blood tests, office visits and correspondence taking weeks to months now. My latest hurdle is that I need to go in for another semen analysis and was instructed 'no more test until we have the results.' I don't even have a script for the pins yet!

I am also hearing about the positive effects of Clomid on LH and FSH which could possibly boost my hormone levels permanently. I am wondering why the expensive doctors do not know this? Why would test replacement be the first course of action?

Lower BAck is hindering my progress on BB Rows. My form is suffering. I cannot get a full range of motion on the cable laterals because my cable setup at home is pretty cheesy. Too light of weight and the cable won't return to start so I have to do 1/2 reps with too much weight to get it to work. I need to drop weight on the BB shrugs, I do not feel these as well as the dumbell shrugs. My form is suffering. Moved up 5 lbs on my reverse curls.

when you mean full range, you mean going all the way down?

dont worry about that, do what is natural and flex on top:)

Yes with Incline always star light an work way up
, its one of those exercises that should ways be warmed up into before you do the heavier sets

3x20

Had a good workout today. I am out of town so I got to work out in a small, empty, run-down old gym w/ steel plates and loud music. I really enjoy the change in atmosphere. I had to improvise on a couple exercises to keep things rolling. I even did extra cause I had energy and needed to kill some time. Worked on calves a bit more to take advantage of the different machines they have here. Did standing calf raises w/ left leg only in an effort to bring up to speed w/ my right.

I also woke up to early today and did 25 mins of mild, fasted-state cardio before going to work.

Can't wait to start cutting in phase 3.

Ran out of time for cardio, but had a good workout.


UPDATE:
Second sperm sample came back fine. First one was low but I wasn't told to wait 72 hours without release.

Anyway, now the doc is convinced my nuts work and said he wants to go a different route besides the test replacement...ding, ding, ding...clomiphene citrate!

He wants me to take it 3 times a week, MWF, for 3 months and then get a blood test. I took a 100mg shot of test today to hold me over until I get the new script ~1-2 weeks for him to mail it to me and mail it off to my preffered provider...btw, it's not covered for men.

Conveniently forgot to do pushups and reverse curls. Oh well, I'm back on graveyards and my workouts are never perfect when I'm tired. Didn't have time for cardio but I will do pushups throught the night to keep me awake and keep the blood flowing to make up for it. Did barbell bench for a changeup and because plate loading the dumbells is a PITA.

Pretty good workout after coming off nightshift. I lightened up some weights to focus on form.

Recieved my script for clomiphene today. 36 tabs to be taken mwf at night for 12 weeks...and he gave me 5 refills. Hopefully this does the trick.

Here are some post-workout pics:

hey cool:)

your obliques and that cut between your lats and abs are refined
:)

right on

Arms look good too.

What was the rational of the Clomid?
 
Somehow my natural hormones are surpressed. We believe this to be from propecia. My test is low and sperm count is fine so he believe by stimulating the pituitary gland to 'wake up' that my hormone levels can be corrected naturally without having to rely on exogeneous test for the rest of my life. This would be better for convenience sake. We will test my levels in 3 months and see if it is working and hopefully stop the clomid.

Since I am not recovering from an AAS cycle, boosting my natty levels should only help.

Any issues starting phase 3 and cutting using this stuff?
 
This stuff takes time. At this point I am happy to have found two docs that will issue BB related blood tests at least once a year and are not scared to prescribe the meds. They are eager to work with me because of my age and fitness level.

In addition, I now have 1600 mgs of pharmaceutical grade, doctor prescribed test and 180 tabs of clomid for a short, legal blast of muscle.
 
:

300 a week should be good

PCT should be Clomid at 50 mgs a day along side with Aromasin at 20 mgs a day for 3 weeks
 
I think I'll wait and use it in Aug after I get my bloodwork sorted out. I need to make sure I don't have to get blood drawn in the timeframe I'd like to use it...

Rode bike to and from gym 7.5 miles, breezy and hilly. Kicked my ass.

Good workout. Good pump in arms. Just got the bike back from a tune-up and I believe the brake is dragging. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

I didn't feel like doing the full leg workout today so I tested my MAX squat.

Previous personal record was 205x1 on Dec 31st, 2007.

Today I got 225x1 and knew I had room for a bit more.

Instead of going for 230 or 235 I loaded up 15 lbs and tried for 1.5x my bodyweight.

I failed at 240 and didn't feel like doing any more after that.

I believe I am good for more but haven't been lifting heavy weight for so long it was a bit overwhelming. I am sure my technique is a bit off to drive out of the hole.

Squat is up 20 lbs in 3 months. I'll try everything again at the end of phase 3.

Ran out of time. Gottta go to work. Not bad for a nightshift workout. Did bench and alt dumbell curls to speed things up. Will do reverse curls at work tonight to stay awake.
 
I've taken the last 3 days off recovering from nightshift. JUst didn't have the energy, drive, determination to go out in the garage and hit the weights. I work 4 long dayshifts starting tomorrow, so I doubt I will have the energy to workout until Thursday. I am resting this week to get my focus back and hopefully will begin Phase 3 refreshed and energized.
 
Squat up 20 pound in 3 months is GREAT

imagine if you did them for 3-4 workouts it would be more like a 40 pound jump once you got coordinated again


not only that you have not been doing them so thats a huge plus ( smith is more of an isolation movement)

I took my first clomid last night. Anything I should be aware of while taking this stuff?
 
Yes Possible Emotional Side effects such as "girlie feelings" lol

However if you use them with a anti Estrogen it will nagate at least in part some of this.
 
Had to go test the other 2 lifts.

Bench 230 failed, so I ASSUME my max is still 225 although I didn't try it. 230 just stuck 4-6 inches off of my chest.

Deadlift 285 successful, 295 failed. This is up 20 lbs from 265 beginning of January 2008.

Girlie feelings thats terrific since I already feel soft and weak.

When are you gonna call me about Stage 3? I need to lose some fat and feeling stagnant w/ phase 2.
