Hey oatmeal, Yea, it will be my 50th B'day at the end of May and I plan on posting up some shots.

Killing it in the gym today. Just looking to push the envelope now, but struggling to keep my reps between 10-12 for another week before switching to a reverse pyramid with 3 sets of 5 up front (after a thorough warm up of course). I did 10 reps of Dead Lift with 315 this week with just a tap to the ground in between reps. And I have added 4 sets for every body part and I can definitely feel it. My arms are nice and full and my glutes were sore for days after the DL's.

Weighed in a 236 lbs. today, 2 pounds up from last week at the same time/same day, so the Aromasin is definitely controlling any bloat. I have done 100mg of the suspension every morning this week and think I will split that in 2 shots for the coming week. The only fluctuation I have felt has been in my energy level, which takes a dive 12 hours after the morning pin.

I have been doing a push/pull/legs split twice a week for about 4 months and am thinking of moving to a 4 day split but keep training 6 days on, 1 day off. I will be mindful of my recovery/fatigue levels in order to push as hard as possible without going too far.

I just got my BEST belt in the mail and will be using it for the "working sets" of my DL's and Squats. This is the first time I have used a belt, but figured it was a good idea as my weights are going up, and at 6'2" I got alot of length in the middle.

Legs tomorrow, so a little more chanting in the morning before I go. I praise myself for my ability to persevere.

Looking good Buddha!

I noticed my arms are already looking fuller, and I have an overall sense of my muscles being consistently pumped. It's great to interact with all the bro's here as I am constantly learning and fine tuning my approaches. Legs today, and I think this was the first day I had no fatigue in them from Thursdays DL's. 290 Squats for 8 reps followed by Leg press, Curls, SLDL, and Calves. I finished the design for my workouts for the next couple weeks. I will be doing a 4 day split with 2 days of cardio (I hate cardio). I'll be working up to 28-35 sets per day and I will see how my recovery goes. The gear I'm using is the best of the best, and this being my first complex cycle, I am determined to push harder than ever before.

I was talking to a more experienced friend about my new exercise split and how I wanted to make sure I was getting fully recovered before hitting a body part again. He told me that, once this cycle is in full swing, I can train the same body part 2 days in a row and have recovery. That's all I needed to hear. Drop the cardio and up the intensity! Of course, remaining mindful of joints and tendons along the way. I am just starting to feel some strain in my forearms and will get a good quality bottle of liquid glucoseamine chondroiton for a 10 day run. It has always worked for me in the past. Did back and bis today, Chest and Tris tomorrow, then legs, followed by a day off should give my forearms time to rest. I am also using N2Guard which supports joint health.

I'm being mindful of limiting carbs, but maintain a 6-7 meal, 2 protein shake rythm, and my abs are clearer by the day.

I was going to split my suspension in 2, but decided on adding VENOM transderm test in the evening to help maintain my levels rather than jab myself again. That said, 10 suspension shots in and not a single PIP.

I can't wait to get to the gym tomorrow....

Log's looking good bro. I love the push/pull/legs routine on cycle and hitting everything twice a week. My body responds very well to it. I keep the intensity up all the way through but I'm also 20 years younger. Keep up the good work

Thanx for stopping by sherk. So I was up for chest and tris today and couldn't get enough. I've brought back a style of lifting I used for years where I throw in a drop set, or widow maker where it just feels right, and it was awesome. My weight is steadily increasing, and my stamina was unstoppable. If I hadn't had to get back to work I'd probably still be in the gym! I spoke to a friend about protecting joints and tendons while my work load increases, and he pointed out that the DMSO gel in the Venom transderm products is great for this. It is actually used on race horses to protect the joints in their legs. So that is another aspect of Venom products that I will be reporting on. It was a gruelling workout, and I have so much energy right now I could do it again!

It's official; First painful lower back pump of the cycle. Not that I didn't desearve it. Doing deep squats, I pyramided up to 315 for 4 deep reps followed by a widow maker of 18 with 135. I could feel it while doing my hack squats, but it passed as I moved through leg curls and extensions with good form. Slightly sensitive nipples today. I have mildly puffy nips from what I guess is puberty gyno. I never had any kind of reaction from the pro-hormones I did 6 years ago, and there is no sign of lumps. I plan on upping my aromasin to 12.5mg ed and introducing Forma Stanzol applied directly on the nips and see how that impacts the situation. I had been told that the fluctuating hormones from the Test Suspension could bring this side and I plan on introducing Venom Test Transdermal tonight to help keep things more balanced.

I did a light shoulder pump yesterday as I really have not been taking days off. But my shoulders are coming in really nice and full as my cycle gets into full swing. Real, full day off tomorrow to prepare for an intense chest/tris and back/bis on the weekend. Veins along the top of my pecs starting to pop. It's nice to see them again. I'm a little flat at the end of the day because of my limited carbs, so I avoid the mirror. Maybe I meant vains popping. LOL
