Half Way to Another New Beginning with ntbm

Halfway through my lean bulk and I am feeling so awesome. I'm going to post up a couple pics, and I'll throw up a reminder of my cycle, but I wanted to share these thoughts from the gym today with my Bros.

I slipped under the bar and found the line it rests across my shoulders. The slightest pressure indicated my balance was good, and I had my heels positioned directly below me for best form. Now my nose was just inches from the mirrored gym walls. Gazing deeply into my own eyes the struggles of the past week flashed through my mind, the hurt, the emotional turmoil, and feelings of helplessness. “I am so fucking beautiful.”, I said quietly to myself as I lifted the 365 pound bar out of the rack, stepped back, and in one smooth motion squatted down to the box I had set to ensure my hips past my knees, and pressed back up for a new personal record. I racked the weight as I pondered my declaration. It wasn’t my mere physicality I praised as I took the weight. It was my ability to persevere, my wisdom to turn to my faith when things were at their darkest, and my sheer will to hold on during hard times. A fist bump from a fellow gym rat just the icing on the cake, and the sweat pouring down my face more than enough to hide the tears.

Never give up, never give in.
 
Thanx Rick. Just a quick post to review my current cycle, which I am entering week 11 of.

10-20 Test e 400 mg a week, split in 2
10-20 Equipoise 600 mg a week, split in 2
11-20 Masteron e 500 mg, split in 2
10-20 Aromasin 12.5 mg EOD
5-16 HCGenerate ES
20-22 HCG 1500 iu a week, split in 2


Week 21 on, back on cruise Test e 250 a week, split in 2
21-24 Methyl EAA
21-24 hcgenerate
21-24 Forma Stanzol
21-24 DAA Power Chews

Week 23 on, back on the cruise at 300 mg Test e a week, split in 2

One thing I would like to share is some days I just feel like having a dose of DAA Power Chews or Forged Post Cycle, usually when I'm going out for the night, and the effects are so noticeable. My libido just goes through the roof after about 6 hours, which is just another example that these products are all they say. Not that I'm having any problem there thanks to the HCGenerate ES.

I will catch a picture in the morning to post. My trusted Bro told me to go light on the carbs late in the day as this really enhances the effect the Mast E will be having about now, which is 2 weeks in with it. Note, I did adjust my Test E down with the introduction of the Mast E which I know has me at a gram and a half of gear per week, but no sides to report. In fact, I have an even more calm demeanor since adding the Mast.

Diet wise, I am not reinventing the wheel here. 2 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day, and using the mirror and the scale to guide my lean bulk. Steadily increasing weight while maintaining most definition.

I was so satisfied with my squat PR yesterday, but I know in my heart I had 405 in me, easy.

Gym poetics!! Very nice

First thing this morning. 6 Pounds up from my Summer cut with better quality overall. I'm pleased with my leg development at this point, but plan to increase calories in hopes of keeping this definition around 235 pounds, which is 6 pounds up from here.

Let's Go!
 
No poems today. Just a 455 pound dead lift. I changed my form a little and felt real strong at that number, but stalled with 495. Next week...

Oh, and I got 9 pounds of red meat on sale yesterday which leaves just one question; What am I going to eat on Thursday.

Wow, Thanks Bro's! I love this board!

Gonna shake the training up a bit here. I have been pyramiding up or down for the past 10 weeks, and I was throwing in some shock stuff on my lighter days. I think I will go with super sets for a couple weeks. First week I'm going to do opposite muscle groups, like this.

Sat - Chest/Back, Heavy
Sun - Legs
Mon - Shoulders, Abs, Calves
Tue - Bi/Tri
Wed - Off
Thur - Chest/Back, Light
Fri - Legs, Light

Week 2 (Super Setting 2 exercises for same muscle)
Sat - Chest/Front and Center Deltoid
Sun - Back/Rear Deltoid
Mon - Legs
Tue - Bi/Tri
Wed - Off
Thur - Chest/Back, Light
Fri - Legs, Light

I am determined to eat like never before.

All I ever wanted was a fighting chance. I like my odds...
 
Change, the only constant in life.

So I got into this superset thing, and I am looking F'n good. But I've tweaked it for now.

Sat - Superset chest/superset front-center deltoid/ superset tris
Sun - Superset back/superset rear deltoid-traps/ superset bis
Mon - Legs, heavy
Tue - Superset bis, tris
Wed - Off
Thur - Superset chest and back
Fri - Legs, light

I hit my 365 pound squat again this week. It was just about a year ago I decided to get my squat together to do the 5x5's for 12 weeks. I had to work around a right ankle that doesn't bend (which is why I hadn't done squats before). I started with a 3" board under my heels to keep my right heel down throughout the motion. I gradually brought that down to where I have 1" lifts in my Chuck Taylors, which is standard in olympic lifting shoes. I went from a 45 pound empty bar to 365 pound squat in 1 year.

Anything is possible with determination and hard work. And the super charger for me is a strong faith that gives me courage when I want to run away, and eases my mind when I get ahead of myself.

Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo is like the roar of the lion!
 
I just hit a 385 pound squat for a new personal record. The young guys are always coming up to me with their questions on training and diet, and I always try to express sincerity in my responses. I tell them, there is no secret; hard work, determination, focus, discipline, and a strong spiritual faith are the ingredients for a successful life. Weight lifting and bodybuilding are just examples of how this approach can be used in everything we do.

I had to run to the car to get the T-shirt I brought to train in, and being lazy, I just ran out with no top on so I wouldn't have to go back up to the locker room before hitting the weights. I spent my entire training session getting fist bumps and nods from the regulars. I'm a sucker for flatery, but enough if enough, LOL!

Thanx for checling in bonacris.

I feel my arms have really filled in the past couple of weeks. I am eating constantly, and the supersetting is helping me keep a nice pump. I'm going to move to 3 days heavy/3 days lighter again, and may keep supersetting in the lighter days. For now I'm going to start with a pyramid up, down to 4-6 reps on the heavy days.

I am feeling really full, confident, and relaxed.
 
Thanx gymrat. Like we tell everyone on the board, do your research, develop at plan, and then post it for feedback. I strive to walk the walk as a way of encouraging other bro's with my actions. Another reason the sight is so great, as it is consistent with Buddhism for me. Share your determination, be open to guidance, and then slam it with spiritual practice and concrete effort.

I'm doing squat reps with 365 pounds now. Turning the tears of a personal breakthrough into another golden memory of my journey, my struggle.

So here is another determination; Muscle Beach Competition, September, 2014.

All I ever wanted was a fighting chance. I'm liking my odds.
 
Love the whole cycle setup, very thorough and bases covered, and the positive attitude. Keep killing it
 
Wow, I feel so humbled all you guys checking in and all. I had been so focused on pushing the envelope I hadn't updated in a couple days. Thank you so much, everyone.

Credit where credit is due; The whole cycle layout was a result of study on this site, interactions with a trusted source, and then, of course, feedback from my bros here, which took the initial layout and perfected it. I've never felt healthier or more positive. I jump out of bed in the morning, rock my spiritual practice and then embrace the struggles of the day.

Oh, I am 50 years young, to answer RickRock's question. I'll post a new photo this weekend.

Check this out;

405 pound free standing squat today for a new personal record.

With a trusted gym friend standing by, I got into position and lowered down in slow motion to where my glutes were resting on the box that indicated that my hips had passed my knees, and pressed back to full standing form. Two steps forward and the weight was racked.

Turning to a gym full of turned heads, I said out loud, "And now for the obligatory, "Cause I got it like that!", accompanied by fist bumps all around.

My stand by nodded and said, "I knew it was yours when you took the weight."

Yea, so did I.

On my way out, another trusted gym friend asked me, "How do you feel?"

I answered, "I wish I hadn't done it yet, so that I could do it for the first time again."

Enjoy the struggle Bro's.

Hey Guys, hella of a week, but no days missed training and diet is on point. Here is a brief note from last Monday;

After my 15 seconds of fame in the gym last week following my 405 pound squat I was still feeling pretty strong. Pressing 335 pounds on decline bench the next day a couple of my gym friends had had just about enough, giving me a little pout action, so I went out of my way to spot them on lifts and generally be encouraging. It would appear all is forgiven as it was smiles all around this morning.

This is such an improvement in my overall life condition. There was a time I viewed everyone in the gym as competition and drove myself with the desire to beat, or "show them". It is so much easier and enjoyable just trying to be myself, rather than all those learned behaviors. Thank you Buddhism.

Coming up on the end of this cycle, this will be the last week before dialing back to a 200mg Test e cruise. Of course, 2 weeks, and then the full PCT I noted at the beginning of this thread. I am going to be using HCGenerate as part of my PCT, and will add this to the title of this thread in order to give the heads up to any Bro's not subbed yet. I am absolutely determined to take my training and diet to an even more focused level in order to help maintain my gains, and get the most out of every supplement I will be utilizing.

Libido is an important subject for me and it is going to be interesting to see and feel how the HCGenerate impacts this through the 4 week PCT. I will run this thread right through my bloods 6, and then 10 weeks out, as this is another area we can see the effectiveness of my PCT product choices.

I'm hovering around 230 pounds and my abs are still visible. Diet, check; Training, check; Looks like I'm ready to really get started.
 
Great update! I agree, no reason to compete with everyone in the gym. You're there to be your best, not try to be better than everyone else.
 
I so glad to see the posts from people who have a deep understanding of how to bring out our best and create something of lasting value. Thanx Bros...

Thedarkhalf, like I said, you can see them, but I can't do my laundry on them, if you know what I mean. All the shots I take in the mirror are always a little blurred so don't show the true definition, but I have posted them anyway as a means to keep myself honest.

So I did my last shot of the cycle last night. As it stands, my big numbers are;

Squat 405
DL 455
Bench 335
Pendlay Row 275 (for reps. I've never done 1's on this exercise)
EZ Curl 125
Scull Crushers 115
OHP 135 (for a couple)

Now it's time to eat and train to keep what I have fought so hard for. The past couple weeks I have seen some lower energy which I chalk up to my receptors being tired, high Test Levels, and not using HCGenerate on the the last half of the cycle. I'm excited to get on my PCT supps because it puts a spring in my step, and pictures I took pre-cycle, I was tight as hell. A special treat will be the HCGenerate I will include in my PCT, and I'll do my best to record my experiences.

When the alarm goes off, the one question I ask myself that always motivates me to get up, hit my spiritual practice, and seize the day - "How bad do I want it?"

I want it absolutely!
 
Thanx digitOx.

Quick note on my squats this week. I box squat. It is the way I trained myself as I worked around a right ankle that has limited motion. It also helps me stay honest as I know every rep is full motion. I changed the platform I had been using with a flat bench that put me about an inch lower than what I had been doing. Something like getting my hip joint 2 inches below my knee joint at the bottom. I stopped at 365 for one, but I could really feel it in my glutes the next day.

I love fine tuning exercises for the max impact.

I am the same way man. I usually box squat all the time....maybe only a month or two out of the year will I switch it up and go off. I just like the way it feels and I also have heard powerlifters frequently train this way
 
Yea, thedarkhalf. I saw quite a few videos from Western Barbell Club who, supposedly only go without the box for competitions, because they feel they get a little more power out of a bounce at the bottom.

So this Friday will be 2 weeks out from cycle, hard to believe time flying by. I am determined to not give up 1 ounce of power or body weight via focused training and exact diet. I am excited to get my PCT products going, not the least of which is the HCGenerate that I will use for the full 4 weeks. I can't wait to feel the difference with Forma Stanzol combined with HCGenerate.

I love it when my girlfriend says, "Oh Baby, your wearing me out."

She ain't seen nothing yet!
 
The importance of walking it.

I woke up yesterday morning determined to go heavy on back. 2 weeks out from my last pin of the cycle and I know full well the importance of killing it in the gym and maintaining my diet (I'm stuffing my third meal of the day down my throat at 10:30 AM) in order to keep my gains. Hell, I'm determined to make more!

Full stacked the cable pull downs for 5 reps just one highlight. 315 on decline bench today; hey, I didn't have a spotter or that number would be higher.

I'm going off my creatine just to lose a little water weight and see what things are looking like. I'm feeling full and thick.

One point, I train every body part twice a week, and with the cycle Test levels fading, I am going to go back to Heavy full body cycle/lighter full body. This will give me more time to heal while still pushing for an anabolic environment in my muscles.

I'm just getting started.
 
All in.

I have all my PCT products on cycle now, including HCGenerate. I already look a little dryer and vascular than a couple weeks ago, which I assume was a little bloat as I've dropped a couple of pounds.

Just did my lighter body cycle with a lot of super-sets, and am ready to go HEAVY right now.

And eat, and eat, and eat.
 
Fighting to keep it.

Every meal counts even more now. Every hour of sleep to be ready for the gym the next day. All supplements engaged and I'm feeling full and tight. My libido is there when I want it, but I miss feeling like a monster all the time. It's just the second week with HCGenerate so I will report as I move forward.

I've been hanging on to my top weights even with losing a couple pounds of body weight. I was wearing a muscle T at a party yesterday (Yea, southern California Xmas) and all eyes were on me. I wonder how many people there have a new New Years resolution. LOL!

keep goin man. don't stop all that hard work
 
Oh, is that what it's called?

Took a page from the Arnold book on training and have been pyramiding up to 2-3 reps, and then coming back down for a set or two of higher reps. "Perfect Pyramid" a youngster in the gym proclaimed, so I nodded like I knew that. If that isn't the name it should be. LOL

Even more vascular while maintaining a body weight of 226 pounds. My cruise dosage is actually 180 mg Test E a week, split in 2, and I am modifying my PCT to HCGenerate and Clomid. I will be running this for 2 more weeks, getting bloods a week later, and then onto an 8 week SARMS cycle with Bridge, which I am getting help designing in another thread.

Libido continues to be solid and no noticeable sides to report.

The bloods numbers will tell a great deal about where my system is, and how the HCGenerate has performed in my PCT. I will post the numbers around January 26th.

I can't wait for the SARMS. I love the way that stuff makes me feel with a cup of coffee in the morning!
 
1 More week of PCT before I start my SARMS bridge. Where does the time go?

I have nothing but good things to say about using HCGenerate, on cycle or PCT. But I will write up a full review next week. For now it's 3 days heavy Push/Pull/Legs, and 3 days high reps. I'm feeling full and showing more vascularity than ever, with veins starting to creep down from my shoulders and up from my fore arms. I even see veins on my thighs during high rep leg presses.

And to think, I'm just getting started...
 
So here I am. Maintaining 226 lbs at the end of a steady, smooth PCT. I had the opportunity to log the first time I used HCGenerate as a PCT supplement, and it has been a great experience.

I had never done a cycle without HCGenerate so I just took for granted that there was never any issue for me with libido while on gear. My last cycle was 20 weeks and I did have concerns of how coming into my 2 week cruise, followed by a 4 week PCT would effect me in the bedroom, but because of my confidence in HCGenerate from my own past experiences, it just never crossed my mind during this time. We all know that worrying about your ability to perform in the bedroom is the most sure way of totally killing being able to get and maintain wood, so I would suggest to anyone with a lover, never go without HCGenerate. It will give you the confidence to show your girlfriend what all those new muscles are for.
