Thanx for stopping by Oatmeal, I'm watching your log.
Pull day, and I was running it through, reverse pyramided weighted chins for 5 reps with a 25 lb plate on a chain before switching to cable chins for the higher reps. Then pyramided up on wide cable pull down and 1 arm dumb bell rows. I hit rear deltoid before asking a good Bro, who won Mr. America some time ago, "What do you like for bicepts these day?" I had to ask; 8 sets of 10 alternating concentration curls, 3 sets of 10 close grip preacher curls with wrists back, 3 sets of 10 wide grip preacher curls, and finally, 3 sets of 10 reverse grip preacher curls. It was a grueling humbling experience full of intense burn and lower weights. I can't wait to do it again!
I have naturally started to increase my reps to move in a more definition direction, which I figure will work well with the Var. I've been working on my tan laying out by the pool which always gives me some bloat for a couple days, so definition is a little off. Eating tons of protein and keeping the carbs in check. Now it's guitar time before heading back out into the sun. Happy father's day to me with the family out of town.

Hey Bulldog. Running Venom gear 100% on this cycle. 45 mg capsule in the morning and 35 mg of liquid Anavar in the evening. Like I said, I could just feel some extra tightness, but I am definitely getting more definition, striations and veins. I have been adjusting my diet for months to peak around the middle of July which sets me up to have the Var give me that extra boost.
I want to strive to always incorporate AAS, or any supplement, in a way that they give me that edge, but I am not completely dependent on them for progress.

Other than scarring the bouncer at the club I went to, it turned out to be very little fun. I apparently slipped into the club after being wand metal detected, and by the time the poor guy tracked me down to tell me there was a cover charge, I had realized it was a lame crowd standing around listening to lame music. "Just have to run to the car.", I stated as I hit the exit never to be seen again. That's OK, I work with a dyke who is taking me out Saturday night. I know from years of being a bouncer myself, it's the gay nights that have the best music.
Good solid week of training down with gradually increasing reps. I continue to gain definition while maintaining my strength. I'm showing a greater V-Shape and clearer abs as well. I've been maintaining my Test E at 600 mg a week (split in 2), and Anavar at 50 mg capsule AM/30 mg liquid PM, but will be moving to 50 mg capsule AM and PM starting tomorrow. I took the day off today so I should be killing it in the morning. Check in for body weight and all the latest on Push day.

I think, in order to make gains and move forward in any field, you need to be able to put the ego in check. Coming out of the super, alpha male period of this cycle into the solidify gains while increasing cut segment, I have been gradually increasing my reps while the weights decrease. Finally settling into 4 sets of 10-12 reps this week, and some of those PR seem a distant memory. I have to remind myself, now is the time to struggle like never before. Now is the time to make every rep count and come out of the gym with a clear feeling of success.
My body weight is holding at 243 pounds. I've taken the high intensity approach I learned for biceps last week into tris, and may spread it even further. I had such a nice, deep ache in my arms today after back/rear delt/bis it was like I could feel them growing. The mirror is telling me everything is moving forward; nice round, almost cartoon like delts, wide back, full chest, and abs increasingly clear. With the weights I have hit on legs I thought they would be bigger, but I still have my bulk to look forward to this winter.
4 more weeks of 600 mg Test e a week, and Anavar at 50 mg AM/50 mg PM. I'm gonna keep my reps high and strive to put more weight on the bar every time. It's a fresh start....

So I followed through the swing into higher reps during my body cycle this week, and even had some 12-15 rep sets. My plan is to take Friday off then push the weights higher on my 10-12 rep sets, maybe even dropping down to 9 or 8. I still feel full even though I am under carbed in order to try to bring out a little more cut. Protein intake still high with meat, chicken, egg whites, yogurt, and 2 - 50 gram protein shakes a day. I snack on nuts when I feel like eating something between meals. I think I will carb up Friday night and see how I pump up Saturday. Maybe bring the creatine back in too.
I'm going to do a high rep legs tomorrow, starting with DL's, then hack squats, leg presses, curls, and maybe some extensions. I'll be shooting for 15 rep sets. I remember doing legs with Nicole Bass' training partner when I first started training (I think he liked me ;-/)and after a grueling couple of exercises, I went numb from the waist down. Maybe I can make that happen again!

Well, no numbness, but definitely a great work out. DL's, after warm up, of sets of 10 for 225,275,315, 365, then a fail at 6 with 405. Straight to hack squats for sets of 15 with 2 plates, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, and then sets of 15 leg presses with 3 plates till my abs started knotting up. My glutes are already tightening up, so I know it was a good one.
Now eat, eat, eat, with a slow build up of carbs to get ready for a big pumped up weekend. I'll try getting some shots in the mirror again. Alert the media!

There is definitely something to be said for focusing on a clear approach to a workout. I hit press today ready to move some weights up in the 10-12 range and came out with a smoldering pump that is nearly painful. Some highlights, all at least 10 reps;
Flat Bench 275
Incline 185
Hammer Strength Shoulder Press 1 1/2 plates
Super set scull crushers/close press 95 lbs.
Finished up with some twisting cable ab stuff. I'm telling you, if I smoked, I would have lit one up and basked in the after glow.

Nice, solid, 10-12 rep pull today, with the intense bis workout on the end.
I carbed up on Friday, just a handful of of potatoes or rice with a couple meals, and wow, I could really see the difference Saturday. Abs clearer, everything fuller and rounder. So I went right back into the low carb diet, which has been just not having bread, rice, pasta, of potatoes with my meals. The only place I get straight carbs from is fruit, vegetables, and there is some in my yogurt. My target this year is the middle of July, so I will do the carb up thing to see where I'm at and get some pictures. I may play around with it to see how long I can stay in real peak condition.
It's been a long drive, and I am feeling really successful.
