I get the outlet part, if I’m trying to blow some steam with volume I do rest pause sets since they’re more effective than adding volume. Just a suggestion though

I signed up to start with a coach in January, so I’ll have more of that accountability too. But you’re right and a good reminder to keep up the intensity. You’ve gotten good results.

Upper Body
Wow, my feet burn from 25 minutes on the treadmill. I might feel them later.

Tricep Extension with Cable, Single Arm

Bicep Cable Curl, single arm
4x10x40 these were tough and got me really pumped

Cable Flies Middle:
4x10x40 I felt these soooo much more than normal because I fatigued my biceps. The last few months I’ve finally been able to build the mind muscle connection to my pecs and squeezed them hard for these.
2x10x50 downward
2x10x30 upward

Chest Press Machine
3x10x160 good squeeze and eccentric control, enjoyed these

I didn’t do New Years, but even then, I felt pretty dehydrated and had a headache by the end. I think I’ve been overdoing my shrugs and trap work, it my neck has been tight during sleep.

I like it!!!

Follow his advice, don't listen to anyone else.

 

[Badleroybrown]

I also need to come to terms with where I’m at physique wise, given all the contributing factors. My age, gear use, diet, routine, schedule, discipline, genetics, starting point, etc. Be realistic about my goals, how tough it will be, how tough I’m willing to be, how long it will take.

This is awesome that you realize this and are putting it into perspective.

A lot of guys start something like this and in a month say to themselves that it’s not working fast enough.
I say it is working but a lot of us are blind to how much work we really have to do.(speaking g for myself)

So keep it up and good luck.
I will be following.

Nice work man , I like doin high rep calf raises when I do add them in as well , I figure you use your legs all day for everything so doin sets of 15 or 20 cant be a bad thing. I use the SSB so i can stack on some mad weight and just put my hands on the uprights to the squat rack and go for it.

Good idea, my gym is a nice commercial gym but isn’t a specialty gym. The Leg Press was supposed to be first, but YEESH, in January it took forever for it to be available.

OMG, I'm having trouble finding a parking space at my gym, let alone the equipment I want in the order I want.

It's like I'm walking down the gym, and just stopping at the first piece of open equipment.

Remember though.... We have The Resolutioners to thank for paying for any new equipment or repairs.

I bought my own handles for the cables, it’s an upgrade AND always available. As long as I don’t forget them.

I’m an impatient psycho who wishes it could all be done faster. This process has me much more motivated to stick to my low dose cruise, I put it even lower this week. I’m behaving with my diet too.

So far, yeah, I know. We haven’t even been two weeks really yet and this is gonna get HARD down the line.

But I’m really excited and optimistic, a thing a real true shred I’ll really appreciate and feel confident in. I think I can pull off this initial stage really well.

Step 1: cut down
Step 2: rebuild lean
Step 3: prep

But I think, fingers crossed, I’ll look real good come end of Step 1 even

You got this, just be consistent.

Upper Body Day

BW: 199

Anterior Delt DB Press

Lower Day
1/7/23

BW: 200
Head cold and tired, last day of workout week, caffeinated

Cardio: 20 mins. 3.4 mph, 15 elevation, 135 average HR

DB stiff leg deadlifts;
3x10x75 don’t think I was really using hamstrings on this, feeling lightheaded too

Lower back Extensions;
1x35 failure
1x25 failure, oof, dizzy
1x21 failure

Abductor and Adductor Superset:
3x12x60? All the numbers past the first block at 30 are gone. 1st is 30, I did 3rd, 5th is 49.5kg/110… so maybe 70?

Abductor: very tight and difficult
Adductor: much easier

My gluteus medius is much larger than rest of glutes

Quad Extensions
3x12x80
Drop; 1x7x70
Drop: 1x14x60

Calve Raises Seated:
2x15x145
2x15x145 (lol, counting out loud to stick to 30-second final rep)

Probably overdue, but popped some aromasin, caber, and Nolva. Numbers were a little elevated. Held off 3 days on my twice-weekly 100mg test-e pin until I understood my numbers. I see it’s where I am aiming, so I’ll resume with the 100 on Wednesdays and Sundays respectively.

Why caber? You shouldn’t use that unless you absolutely need to.

I did. Tren.

My prolactin gets high and I can tell because then I really can’t cum for days.

No bloodwork though

Have you googled the harsh effects of cabergoline?

Just take P5P B6 and it’ll take care of your perceived prolactin issue.

You’re being irresponsible. There’s no reason you’re prolactin would be high right now.
