Glad to hear you decided not to quit BD. You've made a great transformation over the years. One that many don't make.

Enjoy the ride brother. The poptarts will still be there waiting for you when you're done.

The AAS combo you went with is hands down the best out there ime. Shredded was an understatement for me each time I did it. Hard work in the gym, and diet, will even intensify this shredded outcome. Good luck man, pulling for ya!

Good morning fellas! Back day in the books. Work a half day then off to do cardio/relax until Friday for leg day!

Back day is my favorite and my strongest bodypart.

1. Wide grip pulldowns, 2 failure sets of 10-12, reduce weight and a failure set of 8-10

2. Close grip pulldowns, 2 heavy failure sets of 10-12

3. T-bar rows, 1 failure set of 8-10, reduce and another failure set of 10-12

4. 1 arm BB rows, 1 failure set of 6-8, reduce then 1 failure set of 8-10

5. single arm cable pulldowns, 3 sets of 15 each arm

6. DB rows, sets of 8 starting with 85's, 100's, 125's and finish with 150s

7. Lower back extensions, 5 sets to failure

Blame SNAKE not me! I was fine eating my poptarts and cake!:32 (3):

Just trying to lead by example. For the record, I knew you'd be back if you had some time to regroup.

That is where I am adjusting the most brother.

pre-workout at 4am 60g rolled oats with a banana

Breakfast, post workout at 6am
4 whole eggs over easy
100g white potatoes
3 slices turkey bacon

10am banana and a whey protein bar

1130am 8 oz chicken breast, 180g jasmine rice

130pm 8 oz 97% ground beef with 100g mixed veggies

330pm 5oz steak, 150g jasmine rice

6pm 8oz baked chicken( I did eat the damn skin) 5oz of sweet potato

I usually get up during the night and have a shake with almond milk and a scoop of whey protein.

Today is a scheduled off day. I'm going to do cardio and some blood pump stuff anyway. Nothing crazy. I just can't sit idle because I'll want to eat bad shit LOL...

Friday Morning leg day.
Saturday- quads

  • Leg extension- 1 failure set of 20 reps, into a triple drop set to failure each drop, finish with as partials on the last drop.
2. squats- 2 warmup sets at 135lbs. 1 set of 8- 10 reps at 225, 1 set of 10-12 reps at 315 and a set of 6 at 405.
3. Leg press- HEAVY!!! One failure set of 20 reps, next set back the weight off by 30%
Rest 3 seconds at the bottom and explode up!! I expect 10-15 reps.
4. Smith machine lunges- 2 failure set of 12- 15 reps
5. Adductor and abductor superset- 3 sets 15 reps each

Ill finish on the treadmill for about 20 minutes.
I do 2 leg days a week, 1 volume, 1 heavy. I generally do different lifts on the heavy days like hack squats or front squats instead of regular or ill do walking lunges instead of the smith machine. I just enjoy it more when I mix things up...

Yesterday was technically an off day but I ended up doing extra cardio and just some light cable curls, tricep push downs and ab work. Today was heavy chest/biceps day to avoid national chest day in the gym tomorrow!
Multiple warm up sets with dbs
Db chest press. 1 set of 75s for 15 reps
1 set of 90s for 12
1set of 110s for 10
1 set of 125s for 8
Flat bb bench 1 set of 135 for 20
1 set of 225 for 12
1 set of 315 for 10
Incline bench
1 set of 135 for 12
1 set of 225 for 10
Decline bench 2 sets of 135 for 15 then 10
Plate loaded hammer strength chest press 2 sets with 3 plates a side for 15 the 12
Preacher curls
Seated alternate db curls
Lying cable curls
Bicept work sucked as I was out of gas from chest so I'll work them again later in the week.
Trensomnia has gone away and so far no other sides. Dose remains as I started. I am considering adding some HGH to the mix and see what happens. If I do I'll start at 3iu and see how it does. So far this run is going great and my diet has never been this clean ever. We shall see as we go along!

Today was supposed to be shoulders/triceps. I got In the gym but struggled and never got in a rhythm.. Basically is was a shitty workout altogether. Work has been a stressful place and I knew today was going to be tough due to meetings I have scheduled. That being said I will try to get back in the gym later today and do the damn thing but I have nothing to post this morning other than I sucked this morning!

We all have crappy days sometimes, as long as the efforts remain consistent for the long term then you're good to go!
