Chest was jelly by the 8th set, last two sets were basically just negetives lol. Talk about going till failure, felt good tho.

For me on the 10x3 I dont do negs, but I dont have a spotter either. Ima thinking that you may just wanna quit at that point bro. Then the next time pick it back up at that same wieght and get the full 10 sets in. Just something for you to think about.

Yeah my form is good on my squats just because I can't stand it when I see someone throw 315 on their back and do half a squat. Idk it just irritates the fuck outta me lol

I'm aiming for 200lbs and I am still throwing around ideas of what i'm gonna do to cut. But I'm not start cutting until probably march so I have a while to figure that out

Nah bro def not overtraining. Its just about the progression. If doing the negs works out for you then you go for it bro.
Just for me it works out better to go to the point that the next rep or set is questionalbe so that is my stopping point. Then I continue at that weight till I get the full 10x3. I find that doing it like this I do progress in a relatively liner direction.
In my head doing the negs would be like going backward and forward, but thats just me. Like I said do what works for you. This is merrily conversation.:cool:

cycle is 14 weeks, and I'm at the end of week 7 so I'm just over half way and still have a bottle of beastdrol to run lol. I'm actually debating just going on hrt and staying on a low dose of test. I'll throw some vids up when I hit my goals numbers wise, I wanna DL 405 by the time this cycle is up which would be about a 80lb increase. I really only trained like this for 6 weeks before I started this cycle last winter during the transformation contest, so I think I have come a long ways for someone who never even know how to DL properly until the transformation contest in January
 
Funny cuz I'm also considering hrt but wanna have anothe kid..so I'm a put it on hold for a while...

Getting heavy on them squats for atg bro, nice!
Not far from 220 on the bbl row man.. Keep rippin them up! (220 is a good number for us Aussies coz it translates to 100kg LOL :) )


What you reckon on front squats, you ever tried em? Coz I can't go atg with back but gave front a few sets and was able to keep back straight, stable core and had my ass on my heels basically. Seriously shocked I may be able to rack up some sweet atg :D

Jumped on the scale today and I'm actually down 1lb from last week. Weighed in at 188, the only thing I can think of is because I raised my aromasin dose up back up 12.5mg ed and I dropped some water. But the irritation in my left nipple is gone so that's good lol. Just barely got the last rep up on my last set of squats and stalled out on my ohp:mad:, I'm gonna hit a 10x3 next time and that should push me past 115 on the ohp. Was noticebly more fatigued today from the heavier squats and took just a little bit longer rest in between sets. Caught my second wind on the DL's thoough and killed the last 5 sets, I dropped the straps and seemed to have a better grip wiithout them.
 
Carb up before your workouts bro.
Better grip less the straps? Your retarded man! LOL!

Slept like sh1t the last two nights, got probably 8 hours total and I felt it during the workout. Just didn't have enough energy for 10x3 on Bench. Diets been a little irradic too. Focus check, need to get back on track!
 
Nice steady increases man,
I was struggling with your suggestion of bent over bb rows... As being tall it's freaking hard to keep everything straight and stable, got straps and added 50lbs on, they make a world of difference! Shocking haha.
Yeah man the lack of sleep is horrible, I got a solid 13 hours this week. Feel shitty.
Keep pushing through the last half bro! :)
 
WTG how come we all havin trouble sleeping? I got like 3 hours last night myself, it just sucks man. I think that on average I get one good night per week.

Hey bro you could also go 10x3 on your squats if you wanna, just a thought for you. Looking very good junkie. It blows my mind how fast the progression is once you get going on this program. Doing good bro!

weighed in at 189 today. up 1 lb since last week and 19 in 8 weeks. Been lingering around this weight for the last few weeks. Unless my eyes are devcieving me It's looking and feeling like I'm leaning back out which is crazy because I'm eating everything in sight right now. I think I hit or grazed a nerve in my trap when pinning test prop and I'm reagrivating it because I'm getting a sharp pain shooting from my trap through my delt down to my elbow after a couple sets of squats and it seems to be getting worse every workout. It's almost like my right arm is dead weight by the time I finish my squats. I'm gonna finish out the week and then deload to give my body a little break before I pop my bottle of beast
 
Deload not a bad idea bro. IDK about the neve thing. When I hit one there is absolutly no doubt that I did it bro. No question about it at all. If it dosnt come back soon get to your Dr and check it out bro. Better to catch it early on.
 
Awesome progress Junkie !!!! dont get discourage on the weight gains you are reaplacing water weight from the drol with muscle ,that usually happens to my around week 8th or so.. besides the mirror doent lie...

Huh..I dont know what it could be then? I don't have insurance so the doctor is last resort lol. I'm gonna shoot for 305x5x5 on my Dl on wed. And 200x5x5 on my bench on fri then reload to 80% of were I maxed out just to give my body a break, that's probably all I need

Thanks kc...yeah I'm def looking more defined, in my arms and traps in paticular. So ill take muscle over water anyday. Also my sense of well being has been through the roof on this cycle. Especially the last week or so (im assuming the eq is kicking in). You're gonna love it bro

Dam bro that sucks. Well keep us up on it anyway. Work on your ROM and do a lot of gentle stretching on it.
 
Im planning on having another child maybe 2 so gonna put it on hold for now..otherwise will be cruising and blasting...
@ Zed is it possible to get someone pregnant while on HRT , I know the LH Levels will be very low but Im not sure
 
On another good board that I use there is a log of a guy that managed to do so. But I dont think its the norm. That would be a good question for

So between my right delt and lack of sleep this workout was trash, I stalled again on the ohp 115 and completely flatlined on my 5th set of deads. Although I think I figured out what's irritating my rigth trap/delt. I'm putting the bar too far down on my back forcing me to over extend my arms in order to balance the bar on my traps, I put the bar up a little farther on my back and my arm started to feel a little bit better but all these squats are tearing the middle of my back up in between my shoulders at the top of my spine, so out of instinct I was dropping the bar farther down to avoid this. You know you squat a lot when your back is bleeding were the bar sits after every workout lol. One more workout then I'll probably take the whole weekend of and deload to give my body a little rest
 
Yeah bro stalling out just sucks and that is all there is to it man. Time for you to do just as you said bro, deload and get a little rest. Best thing for you.

I widened my grip on the bbl on my squats ant it helped my arm but the pain in my elbow was still there and nothing short of agonizing, my joints are def feeling it right now. This routine is really taking a toll on my body. I'm gonna take the weekend off then deload in Monday and if that doesn't help I Will just take the week off all together. Sucks but my body needs it. I wanna be able to finish strong with beastdrol
 
Hey junkie how much fish oil are you taking right now. Also keep hydrated that will help your joints some bro. Are you using gelatine in your PWO shake? If your not then start right now bro. That makes a big diff, RADAR told me about that.
 
Hey bro maybe doing a little bit more extensive warm ups will help your joints too. Also now that its getting cold out lift in a sweatshirt. Keep that body heat in!
 
Hope ur joints feel better bro !! I'm sure after some time off u will feel great !! beast coming soon eh !! I bet ur stoked about that !
 
Yeah bro I can't wait till I hit a solid 200 :) , what r u at now ? Did u see my progress pics?tell me if u think I should lean bulk or cut and then bulk again

Click to expand...

I'm at about 190 now. I saw your pics, you're still pretty lean, just keep bulking until the spring and keep packing on muscle, then cut slowly and you'll be nice and ripped for the summer
 
took the weekend off from training and diet, gonna take tomorrow off too, i feel i need it. Then I will deload at 80% of my max 5x5 and hit tues,thurs,sat and hopefully my body will be well rested for the last 4 weeks of my cycle. Hoping beast will put on another 10lbs to hit and even 200
 
So you takin a week or so off bro?

felt much better today after my mini 3 day break, deloaded to about 80% of my stall weight and didn't mix any heavy lifts in at the end because I didn't wanna agrevate anything again. Felt good to get back in the gym though, 3 days is like an eternity to me lol, by i'm listening to my body on this one
 
Good to see u pumping it again bro , good on yah listening to ur body!! I know a lot of people don't and just keep going heavier and end up injured
 
Nice to see you're still progressing bro. No hard stall out! Good stuff on getting close to goal weight too.
You close to the beast yet?
I'm so tempted to crack a bottle like you.. But ill wait till winter and be good haha

Ran through this workout in about 45 min and barely broke a sweat,on monday ill start mixing in some heavy sets at the end. weighed in at 191, i'm gonna be honest ive been slacking on my diet the last ten days or so. I havn't been getting all my meals in and eating dirty a little more than I want. Iv'e lost a lot of definition but i'm not concerned with that right now, it's all about size. start beast on monday and will dial my diet back in and this will make the difference between 20 and 30 lbs on this cycle....well i'm hoping anyways lol.
 
I think your gonna be fine bro. Everybody slacks here and there man. Its the over all long term that makes the diff. That second set of pics shows a pretty dam good diff bro! Keep killin dat shit man!

Thanks bro, I just can't wait to cut back down and see it lol. I think I'm gonna bulk for another 6 weeks after this cycle with the dorian yates blood and guts then cut down with Radars routine
 
Nah, Id hit that 5x5 after a week off.
 
Dude you dont have anything to cut man!
You said you wanna get big and strong man, so hit that 5x5.
For your cycle you could do Test @ 1000mg per week with Deca @ 800 for 20 weeks.
You cant take an oral up front but on the back side you sure could do Beast, Tbol, Dbol or Drol, take your pick.
You got so much room to grow bro and your getting a gr8 start. You should keep it running man.
JIMO.

That's a heavy cycle bro lol...but I guess since I'm not coming off it wouldnt really matter...just outta curiousity how long would you wait to jump back on that after finishing this one? This one was 14 weeks with deca for ten and eq and test for 14...I think I'm gonna try something besides deca next time tho
