Summer Cycle (Test Prop/Tren/Mast)

Pharma
41

The past couple of days were semi productive. I did have my leg day on wednesday which was nice to do, but my hamstring really limited me on my workout. My trainer thinks that my quad to hamstring strength ratio is very quad dominant so this is why I keep pulling my hamstring when running. So I will be training specifically for my hamstrings on my leg days. My leg went like this.

Squat: 3x8 (315, 325, 335)

Stiff Leg DL 3x8 (225, 275, 295)

I did one set on single leg curls but my hamstring was to sore so I had to stop the workout. Today it already feels much better so if I don’t get to sore from todays run I’ll be able to have a full leg day on saturday.

Yesterday I didn’t lift at all, just trying to keep the volume down. I’m still not sure if I like it but I’m trying to. I did have d45 minutes worth of plyos which really punished my legs but I am finally feeling like I have my lungs back. My chest feels fully rested so I’m flirting with doing Chest/Back workout today but we’ll see.

One piece of advice. Just because you are quad dominant does not mean you should stop training quads altogether and only do hams. That’s like needing to bring up your tris and stopping bicep training?!?! You can ham-focus without eliminating quad work. You know Tom Platz never stopped squatting he just worked on bring up his weaker points in the upper body

43

Oh I understand completely saps. I still plan on sqautting and doing bulgarian split squats which will still incorporate my quads but I don’t plan on doing any leg extensions anytime soon.

Roger that. Hmmm…leg extensions… not sure I’ve done those since Bush was president…the 1st Bush that is. No worries dropping those :wink:

Its been a few days. Weekend was a bore, golfed and laid around icing the bogus hamstring of mine. Monday my work schedule so I didn’t end up lifting only had a plyo day at the Sports Acceleration. Yesterday I got back into it although not quite as much as I wanted due to time constraints. I lifted my chest before I had my sprint workout with sports accel. Chest workout was:

Bench Press w/chains: 1x8 250lbs
3x5 275,275, 290
I was able to measure the chains to see exactly what resistance I was working with and they measured out to be 28lbs each.

ALT Inlcine DB press: 3x10 85

Ran out of time before I could do flyes which would have wrapped up my workout anyway. The run absolutely murdered me and I was sleeping like a baby literally by 8 pm last night. Good sleep though so i can’t really complain.

Today work started a bit later so I went to the gym before work as well as after. This morning I did shoulders superseted with abs.

Military press: 3x10 150lbs
45lb plate toe touches 3x12

Upright Row: 3x8 (50, 50, 55)
Seated leg tucks 3x15

Front raise: 3x10 (110w/straight bar,65 ea arm, 65 arm)
Russian Twist 3x20

Then I did some rotational work on the shoulders just to prevent some shoulder issues that I had before.
I paired that with cable crunches 2x20

This afternoon I came back to hit up the legs which I am still taking it easy cause of the hammy so here is that workout.

Squat: 1x8 315
3x5 (330, 350, 365)
Single leg RDL: 3x10 95lbs

Hamstring curl: 3x10 (75, 85, 90)

Bulgarian Squat: 3x8 75lbs

And that does it for today. In the morning I will be back at the gym for the back.

So far I can tell that my bench and squat are getting back to where they should be. Bench is almost there squat has a bit more to catch up. I also am seeing some new veins pop out of my chest while I am squatting now which is different to say the least. I don’t feel any endurance issues with the doses that I am taking. The bottle is 100/75/75 test tren mast, and i am taking .7ml every day now along with the 30mg of d bol pre workout. And I think I have to go back to my old training ways of 5-6 days a week. I may bump the volume down per day but I absolutely have to go I just have to much to give and am rested enough each day to do so (sorry saps).

46

No apologies necessary. Everyone is different and the best option will always be the one which works best for you. No sense changing a working program just for the sake of change. Ride it till it stops being effective for you. The fact that you did more sets today than I’ve done in the past 2 weeks is neither here nor there. You are making good progress with your template and I am with mine. Just be careful with that hammy. My fear for you is you’ll push it with excessive usage and worsen it

47

Yea I agree with the hammy. I mean the runs have been lightened to help it out but every time I try to hit full gear it gives way. I need to be full strength in about 3 weeks so we will see what I have to do in that time to get it there.

Might want to invest in some sleeves (I use the TK sleeves that APT sell). They give you a little bit of support, but they keep your elbow joint really warm. Obviously you still have to be sensible with the loading on that kind of exercise, but I find they help me.

49

Yea I had bought two of them during the winter but I took a bit of a break from lifting a while back in hopes that the tendinitis would go away. Definitely didn’t work.

Yesterday I had a good morning workout with the back. I managed to get myself to the gym by 5:30 and start my workout. I usually enjoy the snooze button a bit to often and have to go in the afternoon. I like the morning lift just because people who are there seem to be a bit more focused. Anyway here was my workout.

Chin-ups: 3x10 BW+25lbs

Standing Single Leg: 3x10 (100, 100, 110)
Single Arm Cable Row

T-Bar Row: 3x10 (135, 135, 145)

Good mornings: 2x10 95lbs

It was a good solid workout. I felt like I could have done my back all morning long. I’m def glad I didn’t because I am bit sore in the lats and middle traps area which is a good thing. I also had a plyo workout in the afternoon which was by far the hardest one I have ever had. I was hooked up to four cables resisting my jumps. It was a workout just trying to stand up. So my legs are very tender today. Mainly just my glutes. We will see what the sprint workout I have today does for me.

50

Another good workout today. Probably because I skipped out on work, lol. Anyway I did it a little backwards today. I had a solid sprint workout today no ham string pulls. I know its not 100% but it felt really good today. I wasn’t gonna lift today but after the sprint workout I felt energized which was unusual and I did chest and a little tris which went very well:

Bench Press: 5x5 (275,275,285,295,315) I was going for 3 reps on my last set and blew up 5 and should have gone for more.

ALT DB Inlcine: 3x8 90lbs
Paired w/seated leg tucks 3x10
Flyes on Ball: 3x10 (60, 65, 65)
Paired w/Russian twist 3x15
Tricep pressdown: 3x10 (200, 210, 210)
Paired w/ cable crunches 3x12
Weighted Dip: 1x20 45lb plate

So was happy to see my strength where it is at. I think that it will be all PRs in about 7 days from now.

51

You know one thing that I have noticed in the past week that i’m not necessarily the most fond of is my sweating habits. In general I am not a big sweater. Normally with the exception of leg day I can do an entire workout with out barely sweating. But this past week I have noticed that I sweating through everything. My workouts for the most part have been slightly quicker but i’m not breaking any records. Adding in the abs has allowed for a bit less rest as well but still I’m damn near drenched by the end of the day. And my running is no different. Through this cycle with the running has been normal sweating till this week. This week is the first time I have drenched a shirt from sweating and it happened 3 times this week alone. So i’m a little curious as to why am this way all of the sudden.

52

Just got back from a 1.5 mile jog. That will be my workout for the day. At first I thought I finally was getting the shitty lungs from tren but I think it was more just the fact that I don’t do any long distance running. I got over it and the run went by quickly. I feel as though my body is definitely deserving the rest of the weekend off and will be ready to get back at it monday morning.

53

I’m thinking of shortening this cycle up a bit 8 weeks rather than 10. bump up the dosages to 100/75/75 test/tre/mast everyday rather than my current 70/52/52 Ed or whatever it is i’d like to hear what you saps and some others think of that.

54

I like that idea, I think shorter cycles are better.

55

second that motion

56

TW, 100,75,75 should be a good one. And I like shorter length cycles for the shorter esters.

Saps, its good to see you in here helping the man out. Listen to Saps, he’s a knowledgeable guy.

57

I guess that does it then. Cycle is shortened.

I had a great start to the week today. I managed to leave work early again and get to the gym early which is always a good thing. I was early for my run so I did a back workout right before my run. It lasted roughly 45min and i’m feeling stronger than ever. I’m beginning to think there isn’t enough iron in the gym for me.

Weighted Pullups: 3x10,10,9 w/25lb plate

Long bar row: 3x10 (150, 175, 175)

DB Row: 3x10 (120, 130, 130)

Single arm Single leg Cable row: 3x10 (110, 120, 120)

Straight Bar Curl: 3x10 80lbs

It was a solid workout. I had a nice arm and back pump by the time I was finished which was a very nice feeling. I had my sprint workout today which again went very nicely and my hamstring feels likes it at about 97%. Felt like I could push it to far if I wanted to which is why its not quite 100 so otherwise it feels great. I look and feel really good. I just need my ab game to catch up to the rest of my body, I just hate doing abs so badly but whatever.

I read and was quite grossed out by BONEZ breakfast but i’m not gonna lie i’m probably gonna give it a go. If I puke I getting the first flight to belgium because I won’t be very happy with that decision. I’m sittin at 224-225 almost every morning which I like its about perfect for where I want to be on cycle. I figure I am going to lose a lot of water weight next month but would like to hold at about 220lbs in the end.

Here’s what I eat for breakfast. I’m 5’7 185lbs and Im as lean as I am in my recent picture.

12oz whole milk
3 raw eggs
1/3 cup of oats
2 tbs peanut butter
60g whey
1-2 tbs extra light olive oil
frozen berries
ice cubes
all put in a blender

It’s almost more calories than your entire day. That comes out to about a third of my daily calories. Maybe a bit less I dont know exactly. [/quote]

I would like to thank BONEZ for this breakfast idea, it is shockingly good. compared to what I though it was going to taste like.

I’m wondering what all of you are taking for workout supplements while on cycle. Normally I live and die by my Super Pump 250 when i’m not on cycle but for some reason the d bol and super pump don’t agree with me, it actually makes me feel pretty shitty. So does anyone else take extra workout supplements while on cycle or no?

59

Yes and no. I take my 40mg of dbol about 45 minutes pre workout. Right before I start I have some protein and gatorade. During the workout depending what Im doing I have some more protein and sip on gatorade between sets.

60

Gatorade is invaluable if you use hydrolysed casein or whey. I buy Gatorade powder and then mix it to taste in my shakes.
