Almost at the end of your first week, did you enjoy it? Training is looking good man.

I found as the weeks went on that the routines were getting shorter; the breaks between sets get shorter and you can pretty much strategise which sets you can do with less/more rest time etc. [/quote]

Thanks, buddy. Yeah I have been enjoying it so far. I’ve been busy traveling and stuff the past couple of days so I haven’t posted, but I will

Sorry, but I’ve read the bold over several times and still can’t make sense of it lol[/quote]

Lol, sorry my grammar is terrible whenever I’m trying to be brief or straight to the point.

It was a just a small comment regarding the length of the HP sessions (that you and Aqua were discussing); nothing important just that the routines get shorter - as you get used to it.

Looks like you’re still putting in good work man!

Good call on not risking getting sick haha.

364

Dude your squat form is looking great. Only thing I notice is to work on sitting back and upright just a bit more. I also need to work on this. Great work dude!

@Aqua: Thanks buddy. Yeah, I’m already feeling a lot better, been getting some solid 8-9 hours of sleep each night.

are you on ANACONDA Protocol or any of the Biotest supps?

Oh, hell yeah haha. But, I never worried too much about supplements when I first started. If you’re diet isn’t in check, no supplement is going to cover your mistakes. From Biotest, I take:

ANACONDA (2 scoops during workout, plus an additional 20g of CH)
L-Leucine
Surge Workout Fuel
FINiBARS (got these for Christmas, I only eat them if the volume of the session is high)
Creatine
Rhodiola rosea (just ordered this, comes in tomorrow)
ZMA

I’m fortunate enough that my parents help out with some of this, otherwise this list would be a bit smaller haha.

371

Holy sh*t that’s a lot of volume! And a 2 hour session haha. Regardless looks like loads of fun :slight_smile:

372

Felt GREAT on OH Press today, and then incline went fairly well. Everything went to hell when I got to bench though, so I skipped on deadlifts. Will probalby go back later with a buddy to do them though

Lol, yeah it was pretty exhausting. Today wasn’t any easier lol

373

Well you can’t be a super star every day :P. Just keep on grinding man. Besides week 3 has a ton of volume.

374

HP Mass Week 3
Upper Pressing 2 P.M. Session

NOTES: Felt good. Glad I went back to finish deadlifts, because I wasn’t feeling it before. Maybe it was a placebo effect, but I popped a Rhodiola that came in today and I was actually smiling at everyone in the gym for no reason haha. Must have looked like a goober. Started off with trap-bar deads actually, but I could feel my skin start to tear off on the set with 340 so I switched back to regular BB

Yes, this volume is friggin ridiculous lol. I’m hoping there’s some wort of weird accumulation effect and I just get insanely strong in week 4. That would be cool haha

375

Haha that’d be awesome! Looks like I might be adding Rhodiola to the list when I get me some Surge :slight_smile:

376

Yeah man it’s fairly cheap, I’d say go for it!

377

Well, I’ve decided I’m going to diet/recomp/lean up over the next 12 weeks lol. There is a body-transformation contest at my local supplement store (Supplement Giant). The prizes are:

1st Place: $500 shopping spree
2nd Place: $200 shopping spree
3rd Place: $100 shopping spree
4th-10th: 1 free supplement on select brands

Based on my recent pictures, it looks like I’m right at the point of where if I lose 15-20 more pounds, I cold lean up very well. And for 12 weeks, if I lose only 1 oe 2 pounds each week, I’d be right where I want. I plan on utilizing the pulse fast (using PeptoPro, some added L-Leucine, and Power Drive) once or twice a week. I’m actually doing the pulse fast today, I have many times in the past, and it’s a really easy way to lean up. There’s nothing too magical about it once you think, because any type of fasting is going to put you in a solid calorie deficit. But, as I’ve been doing the pulse fast LATELY, I haven’t been eating for weight loss on normal days, yet still getting leaner at/around the same scale weight.

I’m taking pictures today with the day’s newspaper for the contest, so I will probably post them later. I’m writing this in the log so that I don’t back out of fear of getting too small, lol. I’m gonna stick to this and lean up for the spring/summa abz!!! haha

Not the greatest lighting, and I actually focused on sticking my gut out a bit for the sake of making the before and after pictures better. Not that I needed to push it out, because I’m a fatty haha
