Haha. So are you saying add two more to my 6-8 or just referring to the 3 set comment. I'm going to keep upping the weights per set. I really want to struggle on my last sets. I feel pretty beat by them all ready... But I just love the failure feeling. Maybe I'll add a quick dropset to my majors to really blast and pump
Welcome to my life! Lol This is what I do. Lmao Hell I look handicapped when I leave the gym. Lololololololololololol
Bahaha. Radar has been kicking my ass behind the scenes always bro.
If he challenges me to ten sets.. It's on brotha. ::
Honestly bro 8 sets is plenty. Just push hard and inrease the weight to the point you cant hardly do any more if you had to and you will be fine.

Aye. This has been the plan. I've been getting closer each week to the max point. I'll be set on the right weights the next round. Sounds like a good plan.

Oh LG. I've heard it before many a time. Lol.
DMK, I'm a quarter pure Swiss on my dads and Nordic and welsh on my moms. Related to the Edwards family and also Eric the Red. too bad I don't get any royalties from the Edwards. We've got some funny stories.
Apparently I should own quite a large lot of west central park in new York if my great great grandpa wasn't a douche and tore up the lease cause 'he didn't want money to ruin the family'

^^^ this is a mis-quote, it's actually "the love of money is the root of all evil"
This is a quote from the novel "Atlas shrugged" not the full speech as its a couple of pages long, but it gets the point across I think.
"So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?"

I'm going to agree with CS. The love for money is truly what corrupts people. Having money though is a great resource to do good.. and I know personally not having any prohibits me from a lot of the really cool ideas I've had for community and assisting others in life for a long time now. Frankly I just want enough to do what I love.. Lifting weights, living in mexico, and traveling.
I always say.. it's a lot easier to give when your cups overflowing than when you have nothing in it.

Workout 2/19/12

Let me start by saying.. I don't train legs very hard. 1. My legs are big enough. 2. My knees really suck from high school football injuries. blah blah blah

So I attempted to fit into our tub. I had to alternate my legs and chest back and forth and even when I was fully in on my back the water didn't fully submerse me. Top of my stomach and chest still was above water... Dear lord when I'm a millionaire I'm going to get a nine foot long tub and at least 3 feet deep. I really miss taking a nice bath... Back When I was ten...
Show off! I got the same problem with having a bath and I'm only 6'1" lol...

Hey RADAR, so I'm so glad you offered me that invite for me to live, train, and eat with you for 3 months all expenses paid. So generous, RADAR.

As per RADAR's advice I'm going to start adding some cardio sessions. Probably fasted cardio 3-4x a week to start. See how that will help the fat loss.
I jumped from 253 to 260 since I started pinning. Anyone heard of that fast of water gains? Seems pretty crazy even with 12.5mg liquistane a day. My arms are massive blobs and I've lost all vascularity. Sniffle
I'm sure my body will adjust. It's just depressing. One day I'll have to do a prop cycle. I already pin every day or every other day. Once I get lower bf try out the sweet prop/tren/mast combo that seems so awesome.

Good on the epsom salts bro. They actually do absorbe thru the skind and get into the musel.
Nope! Zed, if I would have designed it leg press would have come directly after squats as you stated bro. Lol I love leg pressing right after squats!!!!!!

honestly i get a good ammount of water retention within a day or two of my first pin... it does make it a little harder to assess your physique...
honestly i never cared for liquistane... im more of a letro fan, though im going to try without it and just a lot of mast var and winni

Thanks for your input on that bro. Makes me feel better.
I like your idea on the mast.
I'm a little afraid I'd go bald between mast and winny though. Hehe

Well it's pretty much inevitable for me LG. so I want to enjoy it while I still got it. Once I start getting monkey butt on the back of my head I'll go full blown mast and winny.

Lmfao!
D'you think walking a mile to the train station before breakfast counts as fasted cardio? Lol! Should I start logging it? Lololol!
Good luck increasing your numbers tonight mate!

If its fasted for 10 hours then I'd say yes. If you feel a good sweat. Going up and down stairs is exhausting. Probably did 30-40 floors easily. My legs and calves are tired. It's been a while since I've done stairs so it beat me up. But I was drenched in sweat.
I never work up a sweat walking bro, unless I got a heavy bag on my back. It's after 10 hours fasted but tbh I really don't consider it much more than a stroll down the road. Sure it must count for something though....

Ugh. I keep hitting veins or something in my delts. I'll get almost a half cc in then all the sudden it starts burning/stinging. I aspirated and no blood before starting. Only a little blood came out after. But man that stung. Also took maybe two or three mins to fully inject (I push slow). About a minute after done I started coughing and throat started swelling up. It wasn't as bad as I've had before. Lasted maybe a minute...
My quad shots never have this problem.. And only recently started with my delts. Last cycle it never hurt like that.

What's the main reason that the cardio has to be fasted after 10 hours? I do it in the morning but I doubt it has been 10 hours since I last ate...if there is a major reason behind it I am going to have to adjust my eating schedule.

10 Hrs is the maximum length so when you wake up all food has been digested,so Cardio on am empty stomach gives the body no choice but to dip into those fat stores to burn fat for fuel, this does a good hatchett job on Bodyfat, afterwards the demand for nutrients is at it's highest so you will need to Fill up on a hi protein shake,since breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day around 30-40 minutes later you can have something like 5 boiled egg whites,oats,A need2 Better peanut butter protein bar (large)
and other goodies

So is say anywhere from 7-9 hours still effective then? I know the general principle but want to make sure timing is on point.

I'd say 8 hours minimum... but 10 hours is optimal. When I get my blood drawn for lipids they say no sooner than 10 hours to make sure the stomach is empty. So it makes sense.
As long as your last meal before you go to bed is mostly protein, maybe a little fat, with little to no carb I think you'll be ok. It's just making sure youre not using any carb or fat in the stomach still as fuel.

Racquetball doubles for 45 mins. Drenched in sweat. Good to keep the blood flowing. Pump is gone though.
My numbers did go up a bit on flat bench and incline. Maybe switch to DB press next to switch it up and isolate more. Or should I just alternate decline BB?
I should note I only got maybe 4-5 hours of solid sleep last night.. trensomnia is already working its way on me. I got some sleeping aids. I already knew from my first heavy set that it was going to be rougher than I expected. Lack of sleep suuucks.

Nice workout man. Yeah your numbers will start to go up soon. You notice any physical changes yet?

My water weight has dropped back down to about 254-255. Vascularity is coming back. I notice my manboobs are diminishing slowly. Abs still not coming through.. going to have to drop to atleast 245 I bet to start seeing that change.
Damnit.. I just remembered I never posted my numbers. Let me find that paper I wrote it down on. Then first of March I'll re-measure to judge the differences. You people need to keep me on my toes.. if I say i'll do something and I don't.. call me on my shit. C'MON!
My muscles seem to have started getting denser.. my front delts are coming out again.. my side delts sadly aren't as big as I'd like them to be compared to last year.. my delts were massive last year.. maybe when I trim down they'll show more, but they just seem small in comparison to the rest of me.
I finished the first book of The Hunger Games trilogy last night. I LOVED IT! I haven't read something as good as that since Ender's Game. I'm anxious to see the movie now.. it'd be rated R if they did it just like the book (which I wish they did). I am taking some Unisom and L-Tryptophan at night, slept really well.. still woke up a few times to go piss, but I fell asleep again quickly. Had very vivid dreams too, which I normally don't dream.. so I think that's a good thing.
I'm excited to get on the var. 6+ weeks of var excites me dearly. Makes me hard just thinking about it.. muscle wise.. you perverts.

Great job that your starting to cut up nicely , it's really exciting seeing it all happen so fast pure hard work sweat and dedication is a buzz in its self!!
Ps I love the look of the hunger games movie might read the books first though.
I went to see women in black fri it's was ok but not as good as its hyped up.
That "Harry Potter: and the woman in black" was the worst yet! It's like she ran outa ideas after Vildemort died!

20 x 50
One hour of racquetball.
Vascularity is much better now. Can tell I'm starting to lean out a little more each day. Didnt weigh myself today.
Really hope my arms start getting more defined. I never see the bicep heads come out.
Great work Bader!!!!! Still looking great!
Move around on your delts bro. Sometimes I get that too, but then again I hit each of em with 2 cc..and my delts are girly skinny.
When using Tren bro that is very common hence Tren cough and the pain is mormal for good Tren too.
Good luck bro, you are a force to be reckoned with!

My thread felt lonely... as nothing much has happened.
RE: Zed. Today's went way smoother. I still pinned through a vein.. I could tell cause a little blood seeped into the needle, however it must of passed through completely. Aspirated and no blood. There was not nearly as much burn and no cough.
I've had tren cough, and generally it's while I'm injecting. This was like I injected in a vein (would expain the burning of the juice going through the veins too down my arm). I've coughed baaaad without tren, worst cough I've ever had was without injecting tren.
It's weird.. this time I've hit a ton of veins in my delts, last cycle I hardly ever hit a vein or had this problem or burning. I wish I wasn't a puss and injected glutes, but I've never injected glutes. Maybe I'll train the misses to inject me, I know she'd be ok with it, we've talked about it. I just don't feel like I'd get the right angle or feel comfortable doing it solo.
Doing back today. I've been feeling kind of lethargic and lazy. Hopefully some preworkout will get me jacked up enough to have a good day.

I was the same way on injectiong glutes bro. To the point I rotated testp, tren a, and mast p in my delts alone for 10 weeks. Finally I just gave in and tried glutes and it works bro. Upper outer quadrant stick and go. Plus I can stick 2cc's at one time in the glute easy without worrying. Just a thought.

Thanks OWL. I still need to trim a good 15 pounds of fat off sadly. It's been tougher this year. For being 255 I'm pretty pleased at how my back has grown. My strength continues to increase. I really wish the bis would pop.
Please please critique me in any way. Workouts, exercise order, etc. I really look up to everyone here and I absorb and follow everything I'm told. I'll do faster cardio in the morning. I definitely has been not doing that as much as I should.

Finally found the paper i wrote my measurements on.. Jeez I have serious ADD I never remember where I put shit.. trying to do taxes is driving me nuts in the same way... lol.
Neck: 16 3/4
Shoulders: 26 1/2" inches across (how do people usually measure this? just width or full circumference?)
Arms/Flexed: 16", 16 3/4"
Chest (around nipples): 45 1/2"
Waist (around bellybutton): 39 3/4" (yikes, how do I still fit in my 36 jeans? sheesh.)
Hips (around widest part of glutes): 45" (another damn...)
Thighs: 29 5/8"
Calves: 16 1/2
Forearms: 12 3/4"
Here's the post of my 3rd place of last years competition with my numbers.
http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/a...e-bodybuilding-competition-winner-746329.html
It kind of saddens me.. to see that I got back up to 20% BF after how AWESOME I looked last year. I only hope that I've put on quite the lot of muscle and can trim it down again. 10% BF will truly be my goal by the end of 2012.. I was so close last year.. I should of just kept going.. real life became a very large stress end of last year.. so crazy how things can quickly get out of hand if I'm not careful. A great lesson learned.
It makes me appreciate EliteFitness.com even more. Everyone here is awesome, the true love of everyone at times can be hard to take in.
I just copied and pasted the measurements below:
Measurements starting:
1/15/2011 flexed
Neck 15 1/2
Shoulders 24
Chest 43
Bicep 14 1/2, 14 7/8
Waist 39 1/2
Hip 45
Thigh 28 3/4, 28 3/4
Calf 16 1/2, 16 1/2
forearm: unknown
Measurements ending:
4/15/2011 flexed
Neck 17
Shoulders 27 1/4
Chest 43 1/4
Bicep 14 1/2, 16
Waist 35 1/2
Hip 40 3/4
Thigh 25 1/2, 25 3/4
Calf 16 1/2
Forearm: 13
Weight starting: 242 BF 22-23%
Weight finishing: 216.7 BF 16.7%
Hmm.. some numbers are alarming.. But if anything is like last year.. things will be bigger and better. *crosses fingers*.

Hey bro its still early so dont get dissapointed or depressed. Your back does look WIDE and you have some real nice front delts goin on there too.
You will knock this one out of the park too bro I have full confidence in you.
You have no idea really how well you did last year bader. But dude you have to remember that you were a complete new guy and look at what you did.
Now you have that expereince and knowledge to help you go even further.

I didn't mean to sound like a whiney little wiener there. Sorry guys. But appreciate the words of encouragement. I'm definitely glad I decided to put on more size. My chest is so big already from the thickness of my back, I'm sure. Good to know where I'm lagging too. I need to work my delts better.
It's hard to judge a new workout routine. I like this high volume, but I still need to give it time to see results, and if you know me. I'm very impatient! So in the back of my mind I want to go back to my dropsets and failures and whatnot. But I'll trust and stay the course.

Good lord bader your seriously pack on the mass there. That's outstanding nice work!
I know that feeling that's why I took off Friday from fasted cardio and training. Lower back was a mess and I had to do legs, wasn't going to work out lol and my legs are my most lagging body part so I always need to make sure I crush them
But isnt that cardio too bro. (long night)

15 pullups or chinups

9 burpees
Repeat till you hit 10 mins.
You can do this EOD but not ED.

Yep. No workout today. Migraine, nauseous, upset stomach. No fun.
I think I might skip legs, they feel really shaky and I seem to cramp up if I flex or stretch them the last two days. Specifically the inner teardrop quad. Odd. Taking some taurine, I need to buy some bananas. That probably would help my stomach too.
Ugh... Today was just an off day all day. Not very happy at all.

I have a great remedy for cold we have a lil Jamaican guy next door and if we get cold he brings us hot Lemmon honey with ginger and a drop of whiskey round lol great stuff!
Hope your feeling better soon.
Ace job on the cardio Bader I done fasted cardio for the first time sat I loved it ...

Lol! You guys got yer own language too! Such a small country with such a large variation in regional dialects!

Bro when you say you're English & Irish do you mean you're American with English & Irish ancestry?
Reason I ask is cos I'm about as BRITISH as you can get. My fathers' side can be traced back to doomsday (first written census in Britain) all Welsh, on my mother's side I'm Scottish and Irish. I was born in England and as such think of myself as English first. Which is weird considering I'm a unionist! I see this island as one country, the Romans played divide and conquer and we've been bickering over the division they created for over 2,000 years!
EDIT: just read the "born in us" bit.... Ya threw me with that! I usually expect it in capitals when abbreviating United States! Lol!

Lol! You prefer tea? Damn bro I like that! Having said that though I never could find a decent cuppa in the states....
Interesting thing on the lingo bro, Donna and I both have our own different set of vocab, as different from one another as we are from you!

My English ancestory can also be traced backed to the doomsday book. Yes long lineage there, it's cool. My dad was born in the uk and my mom was a first generation American I believe.
I will actually be trying to obtain my dual citizenship this year so I am looking forward to that.
