***My legs were freaking shot after this workout! It was the first time I've squated since June.

***I will be taking Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. Will be back in the gym Monday evening.
 
Nice squats, thats about where Im at. But whats up with your db lunges? I just did 75x8 last set I know you can do more than 35lbs. Is it due to the injury at all?


I go straight into them immediately after my last set of squats. Also, I only take about 30 second break in between sets. By the 3rd set, my quads and hams are absolutely on fire.

DAMn, lol nvm i take long breaks after mine. Not too long, couple minutes. Any advantage to soing it your way vs mine?
 
DAMn, lol nvm i take long breaks after mine. Not too long, couple minutes. Any advantage to soing it your way vs mine?

I mainly just do it for the cardio effect of it...i'm really winded by the end of it...then i take about 2 mins and jump right into my leg extensions...my workouts are fairly fast paced...the only time i take a couple minutes in between sets is on my squats, deads, and bench.

I have 2 other guys that work out with me. As soon as one finishes his set, the other begins.
 
Brandon, i think im gonna start doing lunges your way for the cardio effects too. Basic question but if i did it my way would it put on more size/strength?

I would think that your way would put on more size/strength for the fact that your moving more weight. I've just never been a big fan of heavy lunges. I've always loved light weight, fast paced, little rest, long and deep lunges. I really prefer barbell lunges, but the other day all the good barbells were being used so I settled for the DBs. Put about 65-85lbs on a barbell and do them they way I do and you'll definately be feeling it bro, especially if you blast your legs with heavy squats first!

Ok bros, funds are low so my plans have changed a bit. I'm not going to be hitting up Primo this go round.

Monday 12-21-09, I will be starting the following:

Weeks 1-4 Beastdrol @ 40mg/ed
Weeks 1-12 Test Eth @ 750mg/wk
Weeks 9-12 Tren-TFO @ 90mg/ed
Weeks 1-12 Unleashed @ 1 serving/ed

**I have Aromasin on hand. I'll probably run it at 12.5mg/e3d throughout the cycle because I'm prone to itchy nips.

PCT will consist of HCGenerate, Forged Post Cycle, Sustain Alpha

***This was a good workout. Set a PR on the deadlifts. My only downfall right now is that I'm suffering from painful lower back pumps. I'm going to increase my taurine to see if that helps.
 
good job. Seems like magic number for you is 8 lol

yep, i like the 6-8 range....good strength and endurance for me....my body responds well there...sometimes i like to drop down and do sets of 4 when training for pure strength..like this make up chest workout that i'll be doing on friday, it will consist of a couple sets of 8 to warm up and then 4 sets of 4 real heavy

Im the same way. I get good size off 8 reps no need to go 12. The 5x5 worked really well for me and its because I know my body has a lot of those fast twitch fibers, but not enough slow twitch.

What are your goals?

bulk up to around 215-220 at a decent bf and then compete in bodybuilding around the 198-202 range so i can be at the top of the light heavy weight

yeah, i like the 5X5 when i did it the last time as well

200 lbs

Finishing up week 3. I'm up 11 lbs and the strength is on the rise. I'm getting a lot of compliments on my size and strength. My chest and shoulders are noticebly getting thicker. I get painful lower back pumps when working out is really the only side so far. Most of my clothes don't fit well anymore. I can't wear most of my work shirts anymore. When I ordered my clothes from work last year, I was weighing around 171. I'm now 200 lbs so they don't fit so well. haha Also, my jeans are getting too damn tight in the thighs and ass. I only have 2 pair of jeans that I can wear comfortablely. All the others are too tight.

I told you we would get you up to 210 bro easy. Looks like we might even brake this mark sooner then we thought. The big ??? is are you real bloated or not. I would think not considering the compounds you are one.

***Tonight was the first night I have ever incorporated rack pulls. I normally just stick with the full range deadlifts. I really liked these though and I'm going to start doing them more often.

***We really switched it up tonight. This was the first time I had ever done Zercher squats. I really liked them and I know they are really going to help my deadlifts out. Also, I haven't done the reverse stiff leg hack squats in a long time, so it felt really good to hit the hamstrings with these tonight. My training partner and I were both killed after this workout. I really like throwing a big loop and changing the exercises up every now and then like we did tonight. I feel like I hit my hammys better than ever before!
 
subbed. This must be one long azz cycle. I started to read this from Jan 09 then realized it was a year old. Did you start a new cycle from the Jan 09 one or just kept cycling? I didn't want to read through all 48 pages to find out.

No bro, its not one cycle...there are several within this same log...when i completed my first one, Need2 wanted me to keep this log going instead of starting a new one each time. This way you can see the overall change in 1 thread. Its one of the longest threads going on EF. There are a lot of good reads within it. You can just scroll back a couple pages and see where this last one started (4 weeks ago). There are pics and videos that you may find interesting.
 
I ran Beastdrol for 4 weeks. I used the Bill Starr 5X5 calculator to help determine my 1 rep maxes.

The first numbers are the start of Week 1. The second numbers are during Week 4.


Bench 275 X 4 (300 1 rep max)......300 X 6 (348 1 rep max)

Squat 365 X 2 (375 1 rep max)......405 X 4 (442 1 rep max)

Deadlift 405 X 3 (429 1 rep max)......405 X 7 (486 1 rep max)

Overhead Press 185 X 6 (215 1 rep max).......215 X 4 (235 1 rep max)


***So after 4 weeks of Beastdrol I gained 48 lbs on my bench. 67 lbs on my squat. 57 lbs on my deadlifts. 20 lbs on my barbell overhead press.
 
Dude judging from your pictures you look like you are in tank mode:D Super thick dude!!!!

yeah, we are in "tank mode" right now! haha I'll start dropping the body fat around april..i'm hoping to do a bodybuilding show around july-august

the bad thing about being thick is finding clothes that fit...its not like i can run out to the big and tall store considering i'm only 5'6"...haha i don't know how those big ass pros do it!
 
I'm a short bastard to. I only got you by half an inch. I'm no where near as strong as you though. I checked out your videos. I had time off due to injury but I'm really small boned and I could never get to numbers that you push. Deadlifts close but that's it. Great log.

I had a hard day at work which consisted of a lot of walking today in a low coal seam. The top was only about 55-60" high, so my lower back and legs were shot by the end of work.

Update:
Been out of the gym the past couple days. I've been really sick to my stomach and a terrible headache. It was so bad I even missed work. I haven't been able to eat anything. I'm down almost 5 lbs. I'm weighing around 198.5 now. Today the headache wasn't as bad and after 1000mg of advil, it is gone but the appetite just isn't there. I've managed to get down a whey shake and a can of tuna. I sure hope this shit passes fast. I'm going to try to get to the gym this evening and see how it goes.

***Good workout. Finally getting over this sickness feeling. Appetite is starting to come back. I set 2 PR's tonight so that was good. First was on the squats (405 X 6). I had more weight in me, but I don't want to go any heavier without knee wraps. I'm going to invest in me a pair. The other PR was on my hack squats. Thats the first time for 275 X 6. I was stoked!
