Here is another update for anyone interested.
The little power-lifting competition between me and my friend is happening this week. It was supposed to be a couple weeks ago, but got pushed back because on some unforeseen circumstances. Not a huge deal, just been blasting away. We are only going to Bench and Deadlift for the competition, leaving Squat out of it because Planet Fitness doesn't have enough 45's. The overall winner will be whoever puts up the most combined weight between the 2. Loser pays for the Cruise we're going on in February. The winner of the bench press competition will buy lunch that day, and the winner of the dead lift will buy dinner that night. We are doing Bench tomorrow, and Deadlift Friday. I should blow him away on Bench, but he has me on Deadlift. He is 6'4 and gets a shit load of leverage. Things should be interesting.
As far as my lifts right now.. Last week I benched 525 for a set of 4, and then 575 for a double. That's with a controlled negative, brief pause at the chest, and then press. Only thing used was wrist straps. My goal for the cycle was to bench 500 raw, so I got that pretty easily. I have benched more than that in my lifetime, but had some minor shoulder surgeries that last couple years that have limited me a bit. For the competition, we are going to do a raw max, and then one with bench shirts. Raw, I hope to put 600. Going to try it once then, that is it. I don't bench with a shirt on very often so I really don't know what I want or plan to get. Low estimate would be 650. I've heard that bench shirts can add 100+ pounds to your bench, but we will see. My bro should push around 500 raw.
I fucking hate dead lifting, it makes me dizzy, but I do it anyways. Last week, I repped 585 for a set of 8, then stopped because I hate dead lifting. I don't really know what my max will be, because I have no maxed out on dead lift in a long time, and I usually do 6-10 reps. I am going to shoot for 700 and go from there.
As far as stats and how my cycle looks..
I've cleaned my diet up a little bit. Ya know, counting macros and doing all that dumb stuff bodybuilders do. My goal is to be big, but I was getting a little bit too big. I also started taking 25mg of HCTZ to help with the water weight. That said, currents stats - 5'9, 260, 17-18%.
The current cycle looks like this.. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS.
Test - 2g
NPP - 200mg/eod
Tren Ace - 50mg/eod
Tren Suspension - 50mg pre-workout
Anadrol - 50mg/day
Halo - 30mg/day pre-workout
Aromasin - 25mg/day
Caber - 2mg/week
Proviron - 50mg/day
HCTZ - 25mg/day
The combination of Anadrol and Halo is not a very smart idea. But I am taking plenty of support, and have no ill effects thus far. Basically, I am not going to die.
Each day before the competition, I am going to take a cocktail of:
100mg Test Suspension
50mg Tren Suspension (awesome stuff)
50mg Injectable Anadrol
50mg Halotestin
5mg Cheque Drops (if they arrive in time)
That should give me a nice little edge. It may be considered a little much or over the top by some, but I really don't care what they think. This is only for a short time and I have shit to accomplish.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks for everyone that took the time to read and is interested.
