Was going to do bent over rows next but some asshat was taking his sweet time over there, and my lower back was numb from too many hypers.
My lats are developing wayyy faster than everything else, so I am scaling back (Slightly) on my upper back width workouts. Concentrating more on rhomboids, erectors etc…
Weight at waking today 231.2
Weight postworkout 234.4

Big lats are cool!
I’ll start a log also when I receive my gear, having little problems with the authorities…
Ok Tbol only today and started supping 5000IU of vitamin D as well, and stumbled upon about 50 Androgel Paks.
Expired last month but I am sure they are fine! Rubbed a pak on and headed to gym.

Felt great today, didn’t over do it, but front delts got pounded hard and with very little rest I was swollen like a bee sting when i got finished. Great vascularity in my front delts too, I like the way the plate raises get the vessels full of blood, it’s vain I know, but it’s pretty fucking cool!
Tomorrow is Legs
6 dogs in the house tonight… They better quiet as a mouse!
Waking weight today is 231.3. Nice!
Didn’t get to do legs yesterday ended up buying an SUV, as hauling dogs around in a G35 wasn’t cutting the mustard. Will be hitting them today.
Going to try for a new 1RM on squats.
I have been doing way too many reps on damn near everything.
Time to enjoy the strength and start working smarter.
4-6 rep range from here on out on all compounds. I am looking the way I want to, but need another 9lbs or so.
Legs Today - I tried the low reps high weight and although I wasn’t as tired at the end I put up some decent numbers.
I always warm up with Abduction and Adduction machines or I feel a horrible pulling in the groin when squatting.
3 sets of each at 220lbs X 15
SQUATS:
135 X 10 warmup
225 X 6
315 X 4
365 X 3
405 X 2 I had a little smile on my face after this one.
I don’t even own a belt or knee wraps so I felt pretty solid, and had a friend watch for parallel. Made my day!
Leg Extensions
220 X 10
260 X 8
280 X 7
Machine goes to 280 so just went to failure on 3 highest settings

100 X 10ea
120 X 8ea
140 X 6ea
Seated Calf Press

Got this done in about 35 minutes so decided to hit a little bench press as we guys do from time to time!
135 X 10
225 X 14 - I think this was the most reps I’ve done at 225, but either way it felt good gave me a good pump.
Finito!
Unless you count some tanning?? I have a wedding coming up in 3 weeks and a Bachelor Party starting Thursday in NOLA. Training may suffer a smidgen while I am there.
I have decided to up the Deca to the (2mg per 1lb of body weight) 460ish… just going straight to 500mg Deca & 750mg Test. I have extra of both and it’s not enough for another cycle so… Putting the plunger down. I still have plenty of libido (almost too much), and while I kinda see what Deca Dick is. I’m pretty good with mind over matter so no problems thus far.
Hey bro, been lurking on your log for a few weeks now, workouts looking good but get some new progress pics up! Starting my new cycle today and after following your log I’m going to log it here too. NOLA for your bachelor party? Nice, was just at my boys bachelor party there in November, if you need some tips of where to go just holler at me. Make sure you go to Port of Call and get a burger with the works, one of the greatest burgers you will ever have in your life, it’s all the way at the end of borboun st. Check it out

Hey bud, I will check it out you are the 2nd person to mention that place! I don’t think I will have any issues getting my calories in while in NOLA. Will get some progress pics up before I leave. Thanks!
Wedding prep took me out of the gym today so I will be hitting chest tomorrow. Naked Weight this AM of 232.8.
It really seems that the days I don’t train I gai quite a bit more weight. Whereas on training days I am burning all of my calories and maintaining and maybe even losing a pound or two. How much more can I eat!?!?!?
I have been on here for a while but this is the first time I have really seen anyone keep people updated daily on how everything is going. I have been tossing the idea around for a while if I wanted to start a cycle and you are definitely getting me more interested to do it from seeing your gains from day to day.

Cheers brotha and keep up the good work.

Deke, thanks man! Yeah it’s a good idea for anyone cycling because you can see what works and what doesn’t!
Guillontine Bench Press
135 X 12
225 X 10
245 X 10
I really like this exercise, there’s a great stretch and great upper pectoral stimulation.
Incline DBell Press

100’s 8
100’s 10
Incline DBell Flys
45 X 12
45 X 15
45 X 16
I like to go heavier on flys, but I’ve been convinced that the risk out weighs the benefit. So, I just keep them lower weight, slow, and perfect form, going for max contraction.

Workout was done in about 40 minutes, keeping rest to a minimum in between exercises.
Here is the Scary as Hell part!
I checked blood pressure directly after workout to see if Diastolic was still 99…No it’s much higher
149/132 - I’m surprised that didn’t trigger an ambulance to show up at the gym. I checked it 2 hours later and it was in check although a little higher than normal, but hey I’m at 500mg/Deca per week now, so…
I upped my Fishoils to 9 per day to help combat the high BP.
Tomorrow is last training day until after the 4th. Bachelor Party in New Orleans, Sweet Cajun Calories!
Ok well, I am back from NOLA… Dear God it should have been filmed, we’d all be rich, single, and probably dead by now. I’m sure it will hinder my gains but craaaaaaazy things happened. Anyway!
Back on track for the most part, will be attempting gym today on very little sleep.
Incline Dumbell Press
80lb X 10
90lb X 10

Throat is fucked~! I lost my voice on bachelor party due to sleep deprivation, jack daniels, and smokey bars, and some other recreational fun.
It’s slowly coming back… SLOWLY
Any ideas on how to get it back??? I am hydrating like a madman.
Ricolas seem to help a bit.
I dug 13 10" Diameter holes 30" Deep through red clay (hard as nails) with an old rusty post hole digger, in 92degree weather. So I guess since I can’t lift my arms, you could say I did shoulders. I was helping future father in law put 7’telephone poles in the back of his farm land. 22 more holes to go.
