Day 26 - Anavar is kicking in!!
Today was another really strong day for me... Im definitely feeling so much better and back to my old self and just have a renewed sense of energy... I am very excited to move forward... The pictures that I have from today blew me away... I never thought I would ever be the size that I am today and be able to shred the way I have... I am very happy with the results so far... i still feel like I have a bit extra
water but otherwise I am very happy!
Cardio today went very well... I started with a 50 minute stairclimber for 7.25 miles on level 13... Then I did a 20 minute elliptical for 2.5 miles on level 8. I finished it off with the bike for 3 miles on level 8 for 10 minutes...
Today was shoulders and traps and I had a tremendous workout!
Superset: Standing barbell shoulder press: 145x10, 150x10, 150x10, 155x10
Alternate arm dumbbell high row: 65x10, 65x10, 65x10, 70x10
Superset: Seated straight bar shoulder press (10 second negatives) : 80x10, 80x10, 80x10,80x10
Seated simotaneous dumbbell forward straight arm lateral raises: 45x10,45x10,45x10,45x10
Barbell single arm shoulder push: 115x10, 115x10, 115x10, 115x10
Single arm smith machine shrugs: 135x10, 155x10, 155x10, 155x10
Cybex machine bent arm lateral raises: 150x10, 150x10, 150x10, 150x10
Standing FREE WEIGHT single arm straight arm shoulder lateral raise: 35x10, 35x10, 35x10, 35x10
So I started off very strong and went big with my standing barbell shoulder
presses... When I clean the bar up and have it in the press position, the veins that are showing are just incredible. So I started off at 145 and went to my previous PR of 150... I went for a new PR of 155 and nailed it... Thats a really big press... This is a flat footed shoulder press with no leg help whatsoever. Just a pure standing shoulder press...
I superset this with alternate arm dumbbell high rows... These definitely take a lot out of you at the weight I was doing. I started off at PR weight of 65 and ended up making it to 70 on the last set...
The next superset was tough!! When I do negatives, I really push myself to the max... 10 seconds going down on a negative is so extreme... most people do 3-5 seconds... If I am going to take the time to do negatives, I am going to get more than my moneys worth... I was just shredding my shoulders on these but the benefits are incredble... It definitely made my superset interesting but I still managed all four sets on seated simotaneous forward lateral raises at 45...
The next exercise was very tough but I am definitely going to be doing this one more often. This is a standing exercise where you take a barbell and hook it on to a connector (normally used for back rows) and press it with one arm. This was shaping my shoulders beautifully... I did all four sets at 115 and absolutely loved it...
I tried a different way of doing shrugs on the smith machine today by doing them single armed and it was awesome... I started at 135 and was able to finish at 155... i really like doing them this way because it really puts extra focus on them and helps to give them more shape...
Next I went straight to PR weight on the cybex bent arm lateral raises... I like to do the bent arm raises on this machine on occasion because its very controlled and I get a very nice burn on them... I did all four sets at 150, which was a PR...
I finished strong, going with FREE WEIGHTS instead of dumbbells... Its much harder to lift free weights because of the way they are proportioned and the weight distribution is just very difficult but very beneficial. I did standing single arm straight arm shoulder lateral raises... I did all four sets with a 35lb. free weight...
This workout today was a tremendous success and I am just thrilled with the result. I weighed in at 204 today, which is up 13 lbs. in less than 4 weeks. I can really start to see the anavar kick in and you can tell by the pictures that the vascularity is just unbelievable. I am very excited with the progress and am pushing for much more... I am absolutely loving the additons of anavar and proviron and will just keep working harder and harder... All feedback appreciated!!
