Glad to hear you are open to the rack pulls and t-bar rows, as well as the underhand BB rows. I really think if you incorporate those movements, with as heavy weight as you can manage for a minimum of 8+ reps WITHOUT too much body english, you will start to see some increases in size.
While I do not share the long levers that you have I do understand how that would affect your biomechanics definitely on many exercises. But with that in mind, I know for SURE that rack pulls vs convential deads will really allow your back to be the primary mover/worker in that movement pattern. For the back, just moving BIG weights in the rack pulls ( and obviously DB rows, BB rows, T-bar rows) really allows you to pack on size. Closer to the show, as you begin dieting, I stop worrying about moving sheer weight and instead focus on REALLY feeling the MM connection and on the SQUEEZE of the back muscles as you move through the FULL ROM (as in, not using any body english as you might have used in the offseason).
Ah, I just remembered perhaps ONE more bit of advice you’re going to love for UPPER chest dude…get you an adjustable bench, set it up in a smith machine and set the bench to (hopefully it has closely spaced together increments of changing angles) just one click UNDER the setting for 90degrees…so, you’re sitting back at perhaps 75-80 degrees. Yes, you’ll be working your shoulders, I realize this but think of it as simply an added benefit. But with this angle, you will be still using your upper chest to perform what I called a high angle chest [yes, and shoulder] press. But be sure to take a wider than shoulder width grip on the bar as if your grip is too narrow then yes, the triceps will tend to take over along with the shoulders. Eh, give it a try, I actually really liked this movement and felt it was kind of like a 2 for 1 deal as it did in fact work the chest and shoulders…but for me, I felt that it really did make my upper chest more “shelf-like” in my poses, kinda like in my avatar when i hit my side chest pose. Although I’m annoyed the dude didn’t snap the pic when I was fully flexed so that the striations in my chest would have come out, ha.
Yea, masteron is awesome as well and as you said, more precontest. I have run it for that. And man, I did love Tren BUT with the big stipulation that it was truly the one AAS that DID change my demeanor/personality. I really became snappy/short while on it and my level of aggression was outta this world. I didn’t like how it made me get so easily angered/aggressive. ALso, the night sweats that smelled terrible, the dreaded tren cough made me dread daily or EOD shots, and also the intermitent insomnia. But god, it made me strong as shit and hard/vascular like nothing I’d ever taken. Lol, when i first started competing i used to make my tren Old-school from the finaplex pellets you have to crush, filter, bake, etc etc haha. later on i did get the hormone straight and didn’t have to do all that. ah, the good ol days.
Winstrol, eh, it was good for doing its job but the way it dried out my joints made me not a big fan but it gave me the results i wanted. anavar, eh, tried it and results were not good enough/noticable enough. I stuck to anadrol or dbol…I got the ol thai pinks from british dispensary. In fact, I still have a pack of about 200 of them in my pantry, from maybe 2011…I wonder if they are still good? sorry, got sidetracked.
I think you should throw in some eq while you’re still in offseason bro, can’t hurt and you said you liked it. would help your appetite and hey, the additional anabolic effects could assist your growth with it’s minimal sides. DO IT! haha. Hell, this is making me want to go from my TRT of just 200mg/wk of Test Cyp into a blast of some Eq and higher test…heh. *yes, i know this is considered by all the folks on here to be more than just TRT, but to that i say fuck it, it’s my body, I get bloodwork 2x year and donate blood 3x a year, it’s under an actual physician’s care and not a hormone clinic, and i’m 5’11 265 still with most of that still muscle so to maintain I actually do need more test. with that level my test levels come back in the trough as around 650, with once a week shots so sure, I’m sure my peak is over the average range but I’m okay with that as long as my bloodwork (RBC, WBC, estradiol, Prostate specific antigen level, liver values, etc) are reasonable along with blood pressure, etc and they are.
Add the above lifts in dude, I really think if you incorporate them and move heavy weight you will see some results…hell, with your level of vitamin intake you’re almost guaranteed to see some rapid results! Oh, and throw in some HIGH calorie days into that diet. It’s pretty spot on but to really grow you should trick your metabolism up every few days and bomb it with a ton of food (bacon cheeseburgers, pizza, lasagna, etc). as long as you don’t start letting it get your bf too high, do it, the dreaded precontest diet is when you have to be maniac about diet perfection as we both know. Enjoy your offseason!!
