AWG's Journal-Aw Yeah Cutting Yeah!

Skullcrusher


Diet looks okay (apart from the burger and chips of course ) although you could prob do with squeezing another protein shake in there between 3 and 7 pm? and there's no fruit!?, but I'm sure this wont be your diet for the full cycle so I'll cut you some slack LOL.

I personally found that adding oats to protein shakes helped a lot as SD is so carb hungry.

Good one on the flaxseed, it's important to get the EFA's in.

Only had the burger and chips cause I was meating my friend at the pub,...Fruit, I usually have two pieces a day

I put dextrose in my shakes PWO, obviously this isn't ideal all the time....was never able to stomach oats in my shakes

More reps on everything when compared to last week, can't have kicked in yet surely? can it?

also had some awesome vascularity on my arms (IMO anyway) and looked massive in the changing room mirror

May be a placebo effect... just as good I'd say!

I really think you're doing way too many sets/reps.
To make the most of SD, you would be better to focus on a lower volume, but heavier weight IMO.

It's your call though man.

Good luck with your cycle.  You going to be doing comparisson pictures?

That's my point though mate, if you where lifting heavier, doing less sets, you would more than likely feel like you where doing a lot more.

Looked **** hot in the changing rooms after, took some photos but phone cameras are never of the best quality

Moved into my new flat in Nottingham yesterday, missed my dosings of my SD so had to take it a bit latter, also went out for a mtes birthday, drank to much and was sick when I got home

not good.

won't be drinking again for a few weeks now anyway.

Felt good today, was really suprised how easy the rear Deltoid Fly was going, last time I did it a few months back I was only ashuifting 40kg for a few reps, this **** defintly works

diet has been terribly slack over the past two days, but today has been good and will hopefully continue for the remaining 10 days

Also started to notice Back Pumps, but nothing major

How come no overhead work on shoulders day?
