Edit: Double post fuuuuu
In other news, I shaved the 'hawk off today. Applying for jobs, and a mohawks isn’t exactly conducive to a good interview.
Holy shit man, think you need more volume in there, LOL!
Nice work!
And good luck with getting a job, so you can buy some chucks 
Interesting cycle thingy. I’m expecting pics.
Since it’s full disclosure and everything =D

Haha. Yeah it was pretty high volume for sure. I did two exercises for every muscle group in addition to the two main presses. Front delts were still sore from yesterday, so they hated me by the end of the workout.
Thanks!
If you watch my past couple videos, I got a free pair of wrestling shoes from a friend, and they’re pretty much the same thing, which is awesome!

Well my camera is broken 
. Tyler said I could probably use his, so i’ll have to borrow that to get some “start” pics. I’m hoping to put on 10-15lbs over the 4 weeks. Hopefully I won’t look like one of those people who cycle and don’t look like it at all.
Oh good, sorry I’ve been a bit behind here, haha.
LWI my friend!
Only 10-15 lbs? Lol I kid. And jeebus talk about the volume.

One of the trainers at my gym takes anabolics and I couldn’t even tell. I was completely shocked.
He’s doing it wrong lol
His friend though… hmm-mm.
Anyway, yeah. Use a friend’s camera, steal a camera from some tourists, whatever =D
PMed brah

Haha. that 10-15 is a start. I’m going to continue the bulk through the PCT so I can break that 200 spot at least lol.

Haha yeah I remember you talking about that. Well… this isn’t a huge cycle, so don’t expect me to get completely huge, but I’m hoping for a couple solid pounds of nice clean muscle.
I’ll work on that camera business

Blaze - Since I can’t do anything exciting for awhile, it looks like I’ll have to get my thrills over here. DL 405x4! Congratulations. That’s heavy! I like the leaning laterals for shoulders too. And best of luck with your BULKING plans. Take care with that. You’ve made so much progress this year!

Thanks! I was really excited after the set. My goal was at least two when I started the set…but they felt good so I just kept going Glad you like leaning laterals. I’ve never gotten a good feeling out of doing laterals both arms at the same time, but leaning laterals always pump the hell out of my lateral delt. Thanks for the good luck wishes! It’s always great to hear someone tell you you’ve made progress and help keep you motivated. Thanks!
Just read this and figured I’d pass it on for my log followers, I’d read it before but it always gets me pumped up. Motivation from Dante (the founder of DC training) followed by a couple video that are just all out insane.
I get alot of emails and hear alot of personal stories from guys that are bummed out, depressed, feeling like they wont ever be that bodybuilder they want to become. I also see some personal accounts on these boards and I want to respond to some of the guys who are 140 to 210lbs and are really trying in bodybuilding but that I see are giving up hope. DONT EVER FING DOUBT YOURSELF! DONT YOU EVER FING DOUBT YOURSELF! If you put your nose to the grindstone and be persistent, consistent, and driven my promise to you is that you will make it to a very elite bodybuilder in the not to distant future.
I went 3.5 years once without missing a meal (6 a day)–if i did miss a meal i set my alarm clock at 3am and got up even when i was dead tired and cooked it and ate it. If you really want this bad, and have that “im going to get this shit done” attitude, I guarentee you that youll end up where you want. Will you be a pro? No and neither will 99.99% of everyone else out there. But if you push the limits and do what I have been trying to do with everyone for the last 4.5 years on the net (turn yourself into a fat burning, muscle building, blast furnace) you will get there.
I am noone special but I had people calling me “stickboy” and laughing how skinny I was in the beginning when I told them i was “trying to become a bodybuilder” with my ever present shopping bag with all my meals in it so I could eat every 2.5 hours. Screw those people! Guess who kisses my ass now when I go back to my old home town on the East Coast and go into my old gym. I dont want to see anyone in this forum thinking “man im never going to make something out of myself as a bodybuilder” BULLSHIT!!! Yes you will and dont let anyone tell you otherwise! Prove them wrong. Pick the bodyweight you know you need to be at and eat up to that bodyweight while doing cardio and carb cuttoffs to keep lean. Eat like a massive 300lb monster and cardio like a guy who is 8% and your going to end up at 250 jacked!
This is your life, dont listen to those people doubting you, they are going nowhere themselves and want to keep you at their level. Shore up all holes in your regimen. Training, supplementation, diet, sleep, stretching, consistency in all of those is the key. There is no doubt in my mind that I can turn anyone (and i mean anyone) into something special if they are willing to be meticulous, steadfast, and stay the course 100%. Alot of you keep jumping around and doing different things but if you really sit back in your chair and think it all out–YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!
Almost every single guy reading this right now can turn themselves into one of the 5 best bodybuilders in their gym. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! I had a pack of friends when I was 20 years old I used to hang with. They dwarfed me. I had by far the worst genetics but I had 50 times the willpower of those guys. One was muscular and naturally shredded, one had incredible genetics and looked like a bodybuilder anyway but when he lifted he got pretty incredible looking, one was 250lbs and a big monster with very limited lifting (lazy), one had slightly better genetics than me and he was also pretty determined. I bypassed all of them in spades, every single one of them because I have a “no fucking way am I going to fail” drive to this sport. The next time you look in the mirror and doubt yourself and get bummed out because your not where you want to be, I want you to remember this post. If you want something bad enough and go at it with the best of your abilities and smarts, you might not become the best, or pro, or top of the class at it, but you will become PRETTY DAMN INCREDIBLE at it, because of your fortitude and hard work. Dont let any son of a bitch tell you otherwise–this is your life-Get in that freaking powerack, make that logbook your bitch AND GET IT DONE!
Can’t believe Levrone never won an Olympia. 1:22= goddamn insane.
Here’s one with a little something for everyone: BBers AND figure athletes haha. One of the many videos I watch pre-workout to get pumped up sometimes.
Good luck with the ‘BULK.’
I’m not judging, but why? Just curious?

Thanks.
It’s pretty much just an experiment to see how my body handles it. I know that doesn’t necessarily come across as a very good answer, but it is what it is.
In this sport/hobby, there’s not a whole lot of reason to stay “natural”, besides being able to say you are (or if you can make a career out of it, and I don’t have the genetics for that IMO). As long as you’re doing it right (proper support and PCT protocol), theres not really any downside to it either.
Dude, you’re going to blow the fuck up. Awesome. Interested in seeing how you progress further, since you’ve made such huge gains by yourself so far. And fucking hell, those are some great videos dude. For some reason, watching that Levrone one gave me the feeling of what it would be like to be frakking hyuuuge.
I don’t know how, I just felt like “big” for a second. I think after my next meet, I’ll work my way up to the 220# class with pure muscle mass, just to see how it goes (and if I can). Great, now even I wanna train a little bit like a bodybuilder again. Just a little bit though
those videos were sick man. That Levrone one was gnarly… cant believe he never won the O. What a shame.

Haha I certainly hope so. Thanks! I don’t know if I’d describe my progress as “huge”. I’ll be pretty damn happy the first time I hit 230 though, being 100lbs up since I started.
Dude, that’s exactly why I watch videos like that one! I get so pumped up and feel jacked and ready to train.
Doo it. Get big. Do BB-esque training haha.

Yeah, I love 'em. Levrone is one of my favorite old BBers, I wish he had taken an O. With his conditioning, I can’t believe he never did.

BODYBUILDING MOTIVATION - Train Hard Or Go Home - YouTube [/quote]
AWESOME post man. Great thing to read and watch!
PJ- Awesome I know. All three components of that post never fail to get me pumped up.
6-16-11
Legs
Squats (heels on 10lbs plates=quad death)
225x8
235x8
245x8
255x8
Quads were already cramping just standing after set 3. Pretty crazy how much of a difference those little plates under your heels make.
Leg Ext (FST-7 attempt)
160x12
160x12
160x12
160x10+2p
150x2 (quads literally gave out, I dropped to 130lbs and still struggled to get a couple reps lol)
Straight Leg Deads (on 3" platform, constant tension style)
155x12
205x12
245x12 +10lb PR This set was pretty damn hard.
Smith Calves
155x12 (x5)
Seated Calves
105lbsx12 (x5)
Done. Should have added another hamstring lift, will next week. Quads are crazy pumped. Gonna be ridiculously sore tomorrow. I might just not leave my basement so I don’t have to face the stairs. hahah. (just kidding, but really, stairs are gonna suck). Gonna add 10lbs to heels elevated squats next week.
I may have to give those heel elevated squats a try.
