Okay today was day 8 of the cycle and my chest day. I took some ntks before I went into the gym. Good ****. Felt nice and warm ready to tear some **** up. Strength is starting to come around a little. Had a good workout. Starting to notice a little bloat with all my weight gain.
Flat bb Bench

275x5 Could have prob pressed one more
280x5
290x2 Could have prob pressed one more

Dumbbell Incline

Leg day. Good workout. Got a nice pump in my quads. Strength feels like its moving up some. I did box squats again but on a box that was about 2in lower and prob right at parallel, so that's why the numbers are down from last week. But for going a lot deeper I felt that they were really good

I like to finish up my workouts with some pull ups if I have the energy. I did so I hit of 4 sets of 10
WOW! what a pump. Just from pull ups got a crazy pump. For me good pumps have always been hard to come by so this was sweet. Cant wait for arm day. I'm sure the pump is going to be crazy

When I did my arms it would have been day 10. Hitting up back and shoulders today which will be day 12.
Hoping to see my numbers up on my deads. If I am feeling it I might try to pull 500 today. By the end of the cycle I would like to be doing working sets with 100lb db's for my shoulder presses. I dont think 90s for 8 will be a problem today. We shall see

S!#t So I think I am getting sick. I have been dreading it. I am a correctional officer so I breath in junk recycled air all the time. My throat has been pretty soar today. Luckily tomorrow is my off day. Im going to start taking some zicam or however you spell it today and maybe the nurse will give me some antibiotics.
The sides now are pretty much non existent. Haven't really got any bad back pumps yet. So far I am a little disappointed with the strength gains but weeks three is about to start and im not going to pass judgment yet and hopefully I they start to hit hard this week. My chest workout thur will be a good judge.
Today was back and shoulders. Had a pretty good workout. Had a nice pump and tight feeling throughout the workout.
Strict behind the neck wide grip lat pull downs
130x12 warm up

Yeah man looking forward to week three. My bench had stalled out and even regressed before my cycle started so looking forward to this weeks workouts.
I love my job bro. 12hr shifts I only work 15 days out of the month. Well I dont work any days I am on night shift. Which makes my diet and stuff a little tricky to work around. I would guess it all depends on the agency. Off the top of my head I would say you would be ok. Pay is decent man, your not going to get rich but for the most part there is always tons of ot aval. Feel free to shot me a pm if you have any questions brother.
