My Beastrol/Helladrol Log is in here!

[CoBra666]

simple things can up cals, use milk instead of water in shakes, etc try lowering your reps i do a 5x5. 53 reps of standing military press is alot. once you get to a weight goal ur happy to be pushing then try and start focusing on rep numbers goin up

 

[CoBra666]

i guess that depends on goals to tho. u didnt really post what ur aiming for unless its somewhere in the middle. if u want a bit of size and strength lower your reps and u will be upping your weights.

I don't really have a set goal of this cycle, it's my first time so I guess I'm just getting a feel for this kinda stuff and seeing if it's for me. I posted earlier this is turning out to be a bulk even though I didn't really mean to, which is fine after coming off 3-4 months of eating below 2000 calories/day, as long as I keep it clean and don't gain all the fat back!

I want to maximize the strength gains obviously, I was hoping to bench 315, but that's not gonna happen! So I am considering switching to a 5x5 type of strength program - bench (twice a week), standing military, squat, barbell row, pullups (still hesitant to deadlift cause of back injury)

I should have planned out my training better, lol! I was so focused on researching and getting all the pieces of the cycle together, and still working on diet, too, that I neglected the training part. live and learn...=)

yeah mate, its a never ending thing about learning. although its a beginner 5x5 rippetoes is compirised of pretty much those exact workouts. add in some assistance work for chest and tris on the bench days, shoulder and bis/back on overhead press/bb row day. throw in a 5x5 for pullups on which ever workout, let say A, then maybe a bb curl on the B workout for some vain muscles. when i hurt my back i started with light weighted situps and hyperextensions and a twisty hyperextension thing for obliques. i trainewd them every other day too. and as i felt comfortable i kept upping the weights. i started off light in january with my rehab (rehab was mostly plank and hippy stuff to start with, didnt last long) by april i was going pretty heavy and now i dling again. not overdoing it atm. only 225 lbs right now pretty easily. will keep upping the weights every week by 5 pounds or so (if theres no setbacks anyways) unless i switch up my routine here right away to a cutter. my goals are to be at bench 225, squat 315, dl 315 at about 165-170 pounds. lol i know, small. then consider a bulk after that. im not far from my weight goals with the exception of DL, its just getting back to 12 or so %bf

how come needto recommended beast/hella instead of beast/katana. i dont want to question him as he knows more than all of us combined here im sure. was just curious about that

Another night time workout, my body is responding well to the switch. I sleep better at night and wake up feeling more rested. Lethargy has not been an issue either these past few days, just need a little morning coffee to get me going. My weight has stayed the same for a few days now, too, right around 187

Did legs today, and tried to keep it heavy and in the lower rep range. I failed on one of my sets and had to drop the bar, pretty embarrassing.

Day 13 - Legs

Barbell Squat
135x10
185x8
225x8
275x6
315x5x3x1 - failed on last set trying to get 2nd rep in, luckily didn't hurt myself!
275x4

Lying Leg Curl Machine
Leg Extensions - did the entire stack of weight and added a 45 pound plate
Standing calf raises
Abductor machine

Diet - pretty much the exact same thing as yesterday
1 - oats/egg whites/whey
2 - chili/tilapia/chicken
3 - curry/tilapia/chicken (hard to count macros in curry)
4 - top sirloin/whole grain bread
5 - banana/whey (pre workout)
6 - Post WO Gainer Shake (Real Gains/whey/banana/strawberries/Natty Peanut Butter)
7 - top sirloin/whole grain bread (eating now)

He didn't recommend the Beast/Hella combo. I pieced the cycle/PCT together from similar threads here, and sent it over to him, and he gave his approval. In terms of goals, all I said was that I wanted to increase muscle hardness and vascularity. I originally planned to do just a Helladrol cycle and then learned more about Beast and both appealed to me. I should research more into Katana.

Anyways, good luck on reaching your goals, too!

I was running a bit late, but managed to squeeze in a quick arm workout last night. I wish I had more time but the gym closes at midnight. I exhausted my triceps by the time I did dips, so I couldn't get too many in. Next time, I will try to start off with weighted dips and see how much weight I can add.

Day 14 - Arms

EZ Bar Skull Crushers - not sure how much EZ bar weighs, 20~25 pounds
Bar + 25s x10
Bar + 35s x10
Bar + 45s x6x6x6

Seated DB Behind the Neck extension
55x10
80x10
90x10
100x6x6x6

Weighted Dips
Bodyweight x 12
+50 pounds x 10
+75 pounds x 6x1 (failure on last set)
+50 pounds x 6

DB Curls
30x10
40x10
50x10
55x8x8 - the next weight increment the gym has is a 70, which is kinda annoying

DB Hammer Curls
35x10
45x10x10x10

Diet is the same as yesterday and the day before that.

*This is also the end of 2 weeks running Beast solo. Starting tomorrow (well, today) I add in Helladrol.

so Week 3 looks like this:
30mg Beastdrol each day
75mg Helladrol each day

I already took my first dosage. I took 10 mg Beast and 25mg Helladrol together. I will take them together, 3 times a day, but keep each dosage at least 4~6 hours apart. I'm only doing this because I'm treating today as an off day. I might do some light cardio and abs at night, tho.

On training days I might take 1 Beast and 1 Hella in the morning, and then 2 Beast and 2 Hella 1 hour before I workout. Is this too much at once, or should I continue to space them out more? hmmm...

Took the day off from the weights, and instead did some really light cardio outside. Came back in and decided to try one of those insanity ab workouts. Didn't go too well, not sure if it's cause my abs/lower back/core are just plain weak, or the fact that I'm on an oral steroid! I just kinda half-assed it and then stopped it about 3/4 through. I got a good sweat going and put in a decent amount of effort, I just couldn't do each exercise for the entire alloted time.

I got a few packages from NTBM today. Finally received the HCGenerate I preordered (3 ordered + 3 free!) so I'm gonna add that in tomorrow and take out Bridge. I didn't get any free Ass Lightning or Better Protein Bars in the box, tho, so I'm gonna have to see what's up with that =(

I just took my 3rd and final dosage of 1 Beast and 1 Hella for today. Didn't feel any different today. No lethargy, no aggression, and I still have yet to know what a 'back pump' is. I can't wait to hit he gym tomorrow~!

Day 15 - Light cardio and abs

40 minute stroll - average HR: 92 - lol!

Insanity Ab workout - failed!

Diet

1 - oats/egg whites
2 - chili/tilapia/chicken
3 - oats/tilapia/chicken
4 - Better protein bar
5 - banana/whey
6 - Post WO Gainer Shake (Real Gains/whey/banana/strawberries/Natty Peanut Butter)
7 - top sirloin/whole grain bread
