Decent arm day. Medium volume, medium weights, actual lifting was about 40-50minutes or so.

***Note to self - Very surprised by the ridiculous increase in pain from pumps - I was warned about the added water/salt retention and how it would make things worse, but I have, bar none, never felt so much pain when getting a pump. First noticed this yesterday during the leg extensions. Nothing else has visibly been altered yet, that’ll come in the next 1-1.5 weeks I’m sure. Libido may be slightly increased, but no notable changes other than those.

These are as good of “befores” as I’ll provide for now.

While yes, technically, exogenous compounds have infiltrated my system as I alluded to above, they have certainly not taken effect yet.

I’m still a little soft here, with a recent influx of sodium. Also notable - drank about a gallon of water prior to this with many carbs. Pump was pretty much gone (~1hour post lifting.)

For you, my friend, I will try to provide the pr0nz. No promises doe. IDK if the mods will allow the dick pics.

Weird sesh. A few notes,

1.) As my life gets a little testier, so does my bloof and bloat factor. I knew this was coming, but fml. No me gusta. Going to keep a close on things and incorporate an AI if need be. Still, not feeling much yet, as it’s only been ~5 days or so.

2.) Really, super early on after I started pressing today I legitimately thought I tore a fucking pec. Like an idiot I powered through but holy moly, it was scary. ###yolo But I was a little apprehensive for the rest of the workout.

3.) Some monster beast I hadn’t seen before asked me if that was ‘all the weight I used’ to get my chest to where it was. Eh, kind of, not really, but sort of. Cool story.

HERE COMES DA BLOOF MONSTA

8

Today was solid. Nothing really to write home about, other than being a sweat monster once again.

Luckily for me, with a lot of icing and brutal pressurized rubbing my pec seems to have rebounded fairly quickly, though it’s still tender. Also notable - I’m going to have to up my water significantly. Cramping and general seizing of my muscles seems to be prevalent at this point. I’m also foam rolling much more frequently.

Other than that, keeping the bloating under control and just keeping a close eye on everything moving forward.

So, puh. Today was a good/bad day. My lower back was CRIPPLINGLY sore from deads two days ago. My DOMS has been out of control this week. Stubbornly, I decided to do my squats anyway which felt fine… at first. It was actually pretty light - but then, wow, the lower back started feeling just awful. The numbers will indicate as such.

I’ve decided to keep focusing on DL’ing since it does more for my back than squats do for my legs. Since my lower back is starting to feel suspect again (which is why I lift like a fucking third-grade girl now,) I’m going to be intelligent about this moving forward.

Nice log brother. I don’t like to post on the subject very much (other than to bitch slap little teen boys who want to go to the dark side) but since I did sort of go through tons of school for this chemical/biological thing I want to chime in here:

You need an AI. Has to be there buddy. It will keep mood stabilized better, libido, bloating and water retention will come down, and you’ll feel better all around. I am kinda surprised that anybody would think to do something without it. It will not dismember your gains and it will make your life easier. Ironically, mood is typically related to fluctuations in E2 levels, not the “angry” one that gets the blame.

Also you’ll definitely want more water; you were right on this one. And foam rolling and compression/tack work is going to be massively needed/essential with the uptick in volume and intensity you’ll be getting into. Also with more muscle tissue being added knots can get really worked in deep. Your pec is a living example of what will happen to the rest of you if you don’t heed the warning and start keeping up with mobility work and soft tissue stuff mate. Stay easy on the chest here for a bit, at least with isolation stuff that really stretches it hard. Keep it from being stretched too hard for the next week or two and you should be good to go (most dangerous part is right at the point where you feel “hey this is gonna heal up just fine now” and decide to push because you feel good. That’s how many powerlifters tear muscles too.)

All that said I don’t want to be a downer, you’re doing good work!

Hey, thanks for stopping in, man! I definitely have an AI. :slight_smile: If I were to hypothetically be taking one, it’d be Adex at .5mg EOD. Now, admittedly, I had gotten a few different recommendations from knowledgable friends about how to approach its use. One guy, who has extensive knowledge, told me to simply keep it on hand until any kind of sore nips / gyno / etc was obvious. The other, who was a total former fatty like myself, said he thinks it’s important to stick with it EOD, as guys like us are more prone to some of the E2 issues given our past. I kind of wanted to ‘wait and see’ how everything was rolling along, but I think you solidified that I should probably be taking it consistently. I had dosed once (Wednesday) and today - and I’m going to keep with it.

Actually, the thing that had been bothering me the most so far was my odd mood swings - I’m normally a fairly level-headed and happy-go-lucky dude, but the last couple days I had been experiencing a few erratic swings either WAY up or way down. So, thanks for the input - I’m going to stick with the EOD plan.

Excellent - Right now I’m shooting for about 2 gallons/day, and somewhere around 100oz during my workout so I’m not pissing five times a night since I work early - I also figure it’ll help get my peri-workout nutrients dispersed and flowing a little more consistently. Plus, I’d hypothetically also be riding “Gwen” as well (change a few letters around and I think you can figure it out,) so cramps are also bound to be occurring from that as well - and yes, I’m definitely dosing a fair amount of Taurine each day too!

10-4 on that, big time. A juicy supervisor friend that I work with was preaching this as well - that my body may not be physically ready for the intensity/weights that I’ll be moving into soon here. I had usually only kept up on some of the lower-body basics: foam rolling all the leg muscles/IT, some broomstick stretches randomly and a little bit of pre-hab work every once in a while but I’m definitely going to have to start committing to this indefinitely.

I gotcha on the pec. Even now the pain has essentially disappated, but if I flex really hard I can still feel it. :frowning: I’ll go in in two days and probably go nice and light with a good amount of reps just to err towards the side of safety. Because - hehe, I was just thinking “Hey, this HAS healed up just fine now.” :slight_smile:

Thanks for the advice - anything else you may ever see or any input you have will be well-read and applied.

I would, and have in the past, but given the nature of the content here I’m not totally comfortable with my face being put right out there brahbro. I’m guessing this is in response to the squats…? I can see what I can do moving forward, but no promises there. (2nd log, IIRC, has some squatting videos and they’ve gotten better since.)

Notable items from today:

  • Triceps were still really sore from, uh, back day? Sometimes pulling affects them, I believe that’s the case here.

  • Kept it lighter because of the above^, and also my left brachioradialis was really, bizarrely sore. I think it was probably from gripping the handle on the leg press yesterday. Who really knows.

  • Pumps are just absolutely, unbelievably painful. Rest time betweens sets was only what it took to complete the opposing muscle group. No more.

So - Feeling great. On Sunday night I had a mishap, kind of a derp moment, which lead to a nasty soreness in my right delt yesterday.

Given the chest thing from last week and that issue, I decided to take it nice and easy today as far as poundages were concerned. Just wanted awesome MMC and high reps. It went terrific.

As Aragorn mentioned, it would’ve been a bad idea to do a big stretch movement for chest. I did just a 15-lb warm-up set on the pec-dec at the very beginning, but that’s it.

Sounds stupid, I know, but my muscles got to the point where they legitimately felt like they were trying to explode out my skin. Was terrific.

Moobs and Deltzzz

I’m okay with this for now, seeing as there was no real pump - about an hour or more after.

Luv handles hold the most water, and in lieu of some yoloeating the other day they’re chubbz. Should be worked off soon.

17

I need an adult, because I just got raped. …

So, comments are flooding in now. Sure, you get one every now and again but in the last two days I have legitimately been dealing with a lot of positive feedback. Great problem to have. The two most notable ones were 1.) My supervisor friend at work, who’s in the know - kind of smiled and said “Yeah, I see things are starting to roll good for you now.” or something to that effect. Nice. 2.) My sis, who is also in the know - I haven’t seen in her in 4-5 or so days, and saw her last night and she was definitely hounding on how much bigger I’m looking. Nyyyyyce.

Also, libido has gotten fairly ridiculous. Seriously. No girls are locked up right now and that is very uncool. And, everything is starting to feel light… that two weeks ago, would not have.

Awesome - glad to have you aboard! Lol, I’ll have to check your log man. I was normally a high(er) volume guy, but I’m going to push it over the next two months or so and see what exactly I can get away with in terms of pure volume. My body likes it MUCH more than super-high frequency/low volume!

Today wasn’t terribly impressive. Couldn’t seem to shake delt activation from some of my tri exercises, which I’ll point out later. The bicep pump today was absolutely ridiculous for whatever reason. Not complaining though!

I also decided to not do MD supersets, and split up the bodyparts more this week and up the volume a bit. Realistically, my arms are probably my #1 lagging body part since my delts have sort of caught up. Very little rest between all sets, probably ~30seconds tops.

I haven’t got one, been toying with the idea but can’t handle the commitment lol!

I’m sure if you’re already doing that kind of volume then the following 3 months or so will be very productive.
