Aww, <3 thanks buddy. Now that these weights are starting to feel easy/comfortable again and with much better form, I can’t wait for what the next few months have in store. Especially with some super awesome things coming - I’m pumped. Although, it’s hilarious that even with 3pps everyone pretty much stops to watch me, it’s going to be awful when I get back up to 4pps +, lol.

Okay, nothing much to note here. Kind of a ‘whatever’ arm day, but not bad by any means. Haven’t been feeling terribly creative lately, but just kind of sticking with what I know works right now. Eh. Triceps will always be a strugglebus. Biceps once again felt like they were going to rip out of my skin. Bit more volume today.

*Quick note - Some underlying stress going on at this point, money things, and some potential sourcing issues as I’m getting closer and closer to really needing it to come through. We’ll see.

As much as I hate to do this, I’ll put this here for my tracking. I am NOT lean and I’m holding a fair amount of water still, obviously. I don’t plan on ever getting any fatter than I am now, but leanness is just not a big priority for me until at least next spring/summer, if even then. I need a lot more size before I need to worry about that again. Last time I got stinking lean I was DYEL.


And one more. I’m not saying there isn’t fat (there is, a lot,) but the loose skin on my lower back makes my 'handles look much worse than they are. Oh well, proof is in the pudding I guess. w/e

A side rant before I continue; it is flattering and awesome how much attention my chest gets everywhere I go. I don’t know, or why, but for some reason I was blessed with some awesome 'netics that make them look sweet I guess. That being said, aside from the “so what ya put up?” questions, as they’re expected, why is it that married women - most of which are attractive, feel the need to come on to me, literally ask to feel my chest, and tell me they wish their boobs were as big as mine? I mean, fuck.

Where’s the single girl love? And, given the exogenously anabolic environment my body is in right now, they probably don’t realize they are playing with rapid brushfire. Normally I can just kind of take the complement and move on okay, but especially last night, as I’m working, this tight little thing wearing yoga pants (19, 20 maybe, and is verified married wtf) comes up to me and is all about them. fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Seriously not humble bragging right now, but goddamn.

Quick notes - took more pre than I should have and got scolded. 3 scoops of Craze, and it wasn’t even that… craze…y. Meh. Besides being REALLY sweaty in the 50 degree weather with a tank top on before I even got to the gym, it was fairly lame. Also: Weights used today were kind of a let-down. Hmm. Oh well.

Good news: Source is cool and good to go. Yes please.

Yaaaaa…you’re strong and big sooooo I’m in [/quote]

Haha, well thanks man, glad to have you aboard. I’m definitely ot either but I’m working on it, at least now I’m not DYEL.


Speaking of DYEL, not according to my body today. I pushed my luck a little too hard, higher volume and higher frequency. Yesterday I got only 1/2 of my normal water intake, and I felt it hard. Nausea was prevalent the entire time too for some reason. When unracking 135 felt heavy… I knew it was going to be a long day. Lower back was the death of me and definitely limited everything I did.

So, the plan over the next two or so weeks is to get a hold of things, give my body some rest and get my body back under control. Continue with low-volume, heavier-lifting oriented ways and work on that before I finish off with a going back to 4 weeks of MD-type workouts with any kind of new strength. Going to lower food amounts down a bit as well. It’ll be sexy.

Well, I can really feel how badly my body needs this slow-down right now, lol. As planned, going on/off/on/off for the next couple days, if a week or so. IDK. Yesterday I slept for like 12 or so hours and could’ve gone longer. Thankfully I’m buying GTA V to keep my mind off lifting tomorrow.

Had an unprecedented MMC today. Was craaaaycray. Nothing too notable, just going intense on days I do lift.

30 minutes of cardio on an interesting new machine I think I like. A lot.

Today was going to be off, but I woke up early, and couldn’t get back to sleep so it was as good of a day as ever to go to the gym. Tomorrow will be off, however.

Nothing too notable today. Things felt good, didn’t want to take anything too “heavy.” (So relative, ugh.) One bad thing - I think because of shipping/issues, I may miss one or two of my EOD schedules with a compound. Ultimately it won’t affect things too severely but just too bad it kind of happened that way. Oh well.

Okay, solid little sesh today. The last few days I’ve been doing some damage control, cutting calories or even a whole meal out of my day. So, while I felt good going in and spent the last few days visualizing the lift, I was curious as how the calorie cut would affect the performance. Zing, it didn’t! I have a great base right now for the next blast which will feature a terrific strength builder, (although I still have like 7 more weeks on this one, lol.) So cool.

30 minutes of fun new cardio machine.

Definitely a good day / bad day hybrid. Yesterday I was out and about with friends and tragically did not drink enough water. Felt it today - only barely got sweaty and mouth was bone-dry. Even after drinking almost a gallon of water by the end of my workout my need to pee was far less than it normally was.

Another note - I have something where I don’t have the best bloodflow to my appendages and stuff. Combining that with a shitload of blood in my upper legs and I’m having my legs fall all sorts of asleep through the workouts.

  • Squats are out for a while. Deads are staying but I’m now seeing “chasing numbers” start to creep - I’m going to squat sporadically but next week will be squatless.

Calves were silly veiny in the workout. This was much later, after cardio and stuff. Still looking decent despite retarded left calf.

Edit: Wtf? No idea why this got turned upside down.

Got to sleep waaay too late last night (GTA V and catching up on Breaking Bad, yeah,) so when I woke up this morning I gave serious thought to just going back to sleep but nah. Eventually got in the zone and had a pretty nice day. A fair amount of volume today, but the MMC was on-point. Got it done in just under an hour.

Meh. Today wasnt an A1 day but it wasn’t terrible. I think my value for it plummeted when my LB was being really disagreeable during DLs today.

My pumps have been getting scary. Today I was legitimately a little concerned for my safety when my left hand went numb after my first exercise. But, no biggie. Also, I wanted to be very careful with how I lifted today, as I tweaked my neck during squats yesterday. It wasn’t anything too tremendous, but it is sensitive today so I was mindful of that.

Fun day today. Felt great going in so I hit it with a fair amount of volume. Going to take tomorrow off for sure since I decided to DL today.

Side note, my direct supervisor came up to me yesterday and commented on how big I’m looking, and asked point blank if I was on a cycle… haha. Nice.
