Hows the form? Cause for a 500lb DL, a 180lb pulldown is not very good mate.
500 is a great lift though 
Brook
lol, form is almost perfect for the lift, Iāll post a video next week hopefully hit a 515 for 1.
For the Pulldowns/Rows, its nice and slow with a big stretch. I find i get a lot better results from that style of training with my back. The deads will make it grow, everything else is just for pump and stretching. I can go much heavier on both but I always seem to get less results.
Thurs Nov 20 - Chest/Arms
Incline Press - 105x12, 115x10,8,8

Huge pump day. Felt really good finishing this off. Minimized breaks for everything under 1 minute for everything. No rest between sets of the Arm stuff.
Saturday Nov. 22 - Shoulders / Calves

This was a make-up day for missing shoulders earlier this week. My chest was still sore so I donāt think my shoulders were at full capacity. They were really tight the entire time.
Sunday Nov. 23
Round 1 of todays cardio is done. 25 min on the treadmill, 15% incline, 4mph. My calves are on fucking FIRE. Had a good stretch though and I feel much better.
I have had a persistant cough for the last few days that isnāt a phelmy cold caugh. I think it might be something about the gear. Just speculating though. Started the Winstrol on Friday night. I already feel dryer, its a strange feeling. Iāve uped my water to over 2 gallons per day.
At the risk of sounding a cunt - how in the name of god can you āfeel dryerā at the body fat you are?
You are a strong guy though - very strong.
I would be very tempted (if i were you) to change the iron game i concentrated onā¦
i think - given the pics i have seen of you - that you are swimming against the current trying to bodybuild, yet you have a good strength that if you concentrated on would far surpass the ability you have as a bodybuilder.
What i mean to say is that there are two types of traineeā¦ one that works to his strengths and the other that works to correct his weaknessesā¦
The former ends up excelling at one discipline, while the latter ends up being a jack of all trades, master of none.
JMO of course.

As for feeling dryer, i just look and feel more vascular when Iām at the gym, Itās probably just in my head, but the only way i could figure to describe it was dryer lol.
I have tried to go into powerlifting before, my trainer started me out that way and Iāve tried doing it a few times. But to be honest, it doesnāt make me happy. I love bodybuilding, and I love competing. Iām well aware I am not the most aesthetic guy, nor do I have the muscle insertions to be a freak, but I do it anyways. Iām going to bodybuild simply because it makes me happy.
Fair enough

Legs lookin a hell of a lot bigger duude! Bit of separation comin in too!!

Tren was giving me a good workout today. felt uber strong so I went heavy deads. felt good. Going to hit 415x15 next week thoughā¦
Everything was only moderate weight but with a nice slow tempo on the eccentric and a faster contraction. Had an insane pump that lasted a few hours.
you still owe us a video of u DLāing in the 500ās
Yeah we gotta trainā¦once I get big again feelin kinda shitty right now!!! I can vouch for Joe and say that his deadlift form is ridiculously perfect!! It doesnāt matter if heās pulling 1 plate or 5 plates the form stays perfect itās kinda insane actually!

Iām starting to get really crazy pumps quick in my workout. Not complaining though, feels great. However my arms get stupidly pumped and I have to ditch one exercise from each or my arms start to hurt in a bad way. oh well they get enough attention from other stuff that I do.

try showering when youāre overly pumped in your biceps lol
when that happens to me i cant reach anything
lol, thatās why I bought one of those shower brushes thatās nice a long. Now I donāt have to reach!
Well, after 6 weeks, and running a low dose, I really donāt feel much like Iām on anything. So Iām upping the dose for a bit to see if I feel any better. Iām dropping fat, and gaining muscle but I feel ānormalā other then the raging sex drive. Maybe the Tren is canceling out the āgoodā feel of test.
Iāve bumped the dose up to
TestE - 650mg/week
TrenE - 400mg/week
Winny - 50mg/day
I havenāt had any unbearable side effects yet so why not try a little more ;). See if I can grow in a calorie deficit.
Diet has not been changed. I weigh 235 in the morning. Started taking 10mg of Nolva/day to help with the bloat and it seems to be helping.
any reason why you are not upping the cardio a bit more? (I am actually asking) I havent cut with gear before but I have been thinking about it and I was planning on doing atleast an 70-80min a day or maybe even two 40min sessions as I figured I would not have to worry about the muscle catabolism as muchā¦
