Notes:
Still not feeling it today. Joints, hips, and glutes are very sore. One common thing I notice is that from the time I inject to about 4-5 days later, my whole body feels like crap. It hasn’t been a one time case either. Every time I inject, I notice this.
Last week Thursday, I injected more as an experiment because I was pissed I hadn’t noticed anything. I was feeling fine up to the next day after i injected. Since then, I have dropped 6 lbs, I am always tired, my body is sore, and I haven’t even made it into the gym because I don’t feel good. I think it is more than just a coincidence.
I promise I will get some videos in once I start feeling better. I swear to god I am not lying about my lifts. I will show you prove. I see it being at least another 2-3 days till I feel normal again. Then, I should be able to resume normal training again.
As for my weight lifting program, I was originally following a program in my gym that a powerlifter created for me. I followed this program for about 5 months, and I had nothing but incredible progress.
My lifts went from
Deadlift 315 to 455 for reps.
squat 250 to 415 for a couple reps
bench 205 to 295
Needless to say, after I followed this program for about 5 months, i got very busy with school and other things and wasn’t making it into the gym. I also was more interested in trying a bodybuilding split because that was my ultimate goal… to pack on size. I followed a bodybuilding split for about 1/2 a year, and made little progress on it. I decided to go back to my original powerlifting split a couple months back because I know it works, and I have seen it do wonders for people who have actually stuck to in in my gym.
In the couple months that I have been following it, I haven’t been following it consistently. With this cycle I am presently on, I have just been playing it by how my body feels. I know once I start feeling better, I will be able to get in the gym more frequently. This is when the results will come. I know this with no doubt in my mind.
