***Had to cut the workout short. Inside my right elbow was absolutely aching. I've had tendonitis several times in both elbows and the pain felt just like it. I'm going to start on Glucosomine and see if that helps with the pain.

***Tonight was the first night I have ever incorporated rack pulls. I normally just stick with the full range deadlifts. I really liked these though and I'm going to start doing them more often.

***We really switched it up tonight. This was the first time I had ever done Zercher squats. I really liked them and I know they are really going to help my deadlifts out. Also, I haven't done the reverse stiff leg hack squats in a long time, so it felt really good to hit the hamstrings with these tonight. My training partner and I were both killed after this workout. I really like throwing a big loop and changing the exercises up every now and then like we did tonight. I feel like I hit my hammys better than ever before!

subbed. This must be one long azz cycle. I started to read this from Jan 09 then realized it was a year old. Did you start a new cycle from the Jan 09 one or just kept cycling? I didn't want to read through all 48 pages to find out.

No bro, its not one cycle...there are several within this same log...when i completed my first one, Need2 wanted me to keep this log going instead of starting a new one each time. This way you can see the overall change in 1 thread. Its one of the longest threads going on EF. There are a lot of good reads within it. You can just scroll back a couple pages and see where this last one started (4 weeks ago). There are pics and videos that you may find interesting.

I ran Beastdrol for 4 weeks. I used the Bill Starr 5X5 calculator to help determine my 1 rep maxes.

The first numbers are the start of Week 1. The second numbers are during Week 4.


Bench 275 X 4 (300 1 rep max)......300 X 6 (348 1 rep max)

Squat 365 X 2 (375 1 rep max)......405 X 4 (442 1 rep max)

Deadlift 405 X 3 (429 1 rep max)......405 X 7 (486 1 rep max)

Overhead Press 185 X 6 (215 1 rep max).......215 X 4 (235 1 rep max)


***So after 4 weeks of Beastdrol I gained 48 lbs on my bench. 67 lbs on my squat. 57 lbs on my deadlifts. 20 lbs on my barbell overhead press.
