Can you please explain why you do not do all your chins at once? What are the benefits?

 

[WalkingBeast]

good lord man, your screenname is perfect for you. you have intensity in your workouts like i have never seen.

ThanX alot brother!! The kind words are much appreciated!! (I still cant give karma and other certain functions on the boards, Ill have to get it fixed before I can give out K again.) Im really trying to push myself to the limits semi-naturally haha. Now that Im taking the M1T on and off I think Ill make some nice gains in the coming months. ThanX again!!

 

[WalkingBeast]

Good to see you getting your strength back

ThanX for the encouragement brother!! And for keeping up with my journal! Much appreciated!! Looking thick in both of your new avatars! Keep KILLING that shit yourself!!

What's with the attempt at 390 (suppose to go from 385 to 405!).

YOURE NOT SUPPOSE TO USE THE 2.5lbs.

lol,
wick

hahahaha I like your fuckin attitude brother!! haha Im no Cwick on the bench, but Im working on that shit!! I know you hate the 2.5's! haha Theyve been loyal to me over the years though. On the other board, one guy was shocked that I even tried 390 after failing 385. Guess not everyone understands our mindset! Now with the M1T Im expecting some monumental gains. I wont get too excited until the results are in, but my diet has been consistent lately and the supps are really kicking in. TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!

 

[WalkingBeast]

Awesome shit bro, that is an aweful low dosage of M1T but hey as long as it works, stick with it, I am taking 20mg a day and I dont get any sides at all!! But I dont think it does much for me either. I wonder if my liver just detoxes everything in it!! LOL but we will see I have only been taking it for a week, so we will see. deffinatly gotta get some liver detox though, cuz with what the army gave me while I was here and this shit, my liver is probably all shriveled up and wanting to fucking die!!! LOL

Peace

ThanX alot brother!! Yes, it is a low dose. My training partner was taking the much weaker 1-AD and only taking 3 pills a week! haha Hes always been a strong bencher, but now hes hitting 440lbs at 187lbs BW raw. Im seeing him make gains even on such a low dose. I got to thinking about what one pill a day of M1T might do for me, since the stuff is so strong. All Im looking for is slow and steady progress so that I can chart my progress in a year and see significant changes. I could go crazy with the stuff, or with juice and blow up quickly Im sure. But I have the patience now and Id like to do it safer, since Ive gotten this far already. I figure 5mg a day shouldnt be too toxic and Ill only do it 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. Its definately time to make some changes at this stage. I could stay completely natty and gain, but itll just take a good deal longer. I just ordered another bottle. Different brand. Higher Power M1T Plus, with milk thistle and other protectants. I also just posted a size PR thread. I hit 200lbs for the first time ever on a gym scale, with 2lbs of water, clothes on, before meals. I also just measured my arms a few minutes ago and theyre at: Left arm 18 3/8 (one line under 18 1/2) and right arm 18 1/4 cold and flexed. Just a one line improvement, but thats huge for me. It was taking me a year to gain 1/4 inch on the arms for four years (from 17"-18")! So something is definately taking place here. That must be some harsh shit they put you on in the military. That sucks. Try it for a few weeks and see what happens. The shit is making a huge difference for me already. This is only the first week and dose is low. That milk thistle might help too brother! Best of luck in KILLING that SHIT and returning safely!!

Welcome to the boards brother!! Sure, its simple enough to explain. There is no good reason!! haha Alot of times, in my routines, I just go by feel. Since chin-ups are the lightest back work that I do, I like to keep the back moving heavy weight so it doesnt get too cold. So I just throw in some sets of chin-ups throughout my back routine. I could do them all together as well. It wouldnt make much difference. Sometimes I do. Youll see most of my routines are never really the same. There are some definite patterns but I dont follow a routine that is written in stone. The main thing for me is that I get the sets in. For back I do a minimum of 15 sets, Legs 15 sets and everything else a minimum of 12 sets. These are just the minimums though, I have the tendancy to go well above that. Basically I just train on instinct sometimes. Keep KILLING that shit brother!!

10-17-04 Upper Chest,Shoulders,Traps,Lower Back,Abs and Rear Delts (REFRESHING!! Lactic Acid Build-Up Day)

Today was a good workout. I had to move faster then usual since I had an appointment. So I got in the gym early. It felt good though. I wanted to hit an entire biceps routine afterward, and maybe some other things, but didnt have the time. I did some shoulder numbing dropsets on the dumbell laterals. Felt real nice. My rests between sets were slightly longer on the dropsets due to the dumbells being unorganized. its possible I may have missed a set, when listing them, because it can be hard to remember when moving fast sometimes. My strict inclines were decent, but not the best. I good day overall. I ended up getting in some forced reps, since people dont know how to spot correctly. I usually only go to failure but since I had to talk during my sets, it took some of my concentration and energy. With 315 I had to tell the spotter, dont touch it as I was pressing it. So I just got some forced reps too. Heres the routine:

Strict Incline Presses: (Done on a much stricter bench)

135x20
225x12

no flat bench today?

haha That was two days ago brother! I usually post them a little later, and write my routines in present tense. haha Sunday is usually my free for all chest day, and now Im adding inclines back in as well. Unless my shoulder gives me problems again. Thursday is my heavy flat benching day. The only day where I have a spotter. Hows training been? KILL THAT SHIT!!
