Westside, Kiwi's and Training OCD!!!! welcome to my world...

yeh the pressups are a b1tch mate! proper gas u out, but great for cconditioning and the pump is unreal.. like i said, its as much about findin the sweet spot in terms of which reps t go for  t get them done the quickest.. :-(

thing is i blasted out 35 the first time after that i got 15 then i gassed out i was doing 10's then after a while i was doing 7's and 4's there must be something?????????

i live around clowns and ppl with no testosterone

check my journal

yeh the first time i did them, i thought i'll do 30 first set, then probably sets of 15, but that plan went downhill quickly.. the pump catches u so quickly its horrid!!
im honestly thinkin short bursts at it would be best, so-
5 pressups
5 secs rest
5 pressups
5 sec rest, etc etc etc...
i reckon that would get u a pretty quick time..that would get u near enough 90 in 3 minutes, and if u felt a bit more in the tank at some stage u could blast out10 or so now and again... :-)

well, no trainin over the xmas period at all :-( my gym back at my folks place was ruined by the floods that hit my town, im sure many of u will have seen them on the news in Cockermouth cumbria.. ah well!!
i feel flat as a pancake, diet has been.. well, u understand! :-(.. far too much drinkin done too!
but had a great xmas, my last in england for a while i think as my folks are movin to spain on 14th jan, sop thats bye bye the family home and bye bye to cumbria, the palce i was born and brought up!! feelin quite sentimental about it all as i love the place, but the new house in spain is fantastic and i cant wait t get out there in a couple of months..
will be hitting the gym tomorro and weds, then maybe some cardio on the weekend, then back to normal as of monday!! will be starting the routine i have just started again as it is a set program with progression etc all factored into each week..
so here's to 2010 guys.. hope u all had a great time with ur families on xmas day! :-)

Wow, dude, sounds mad. I've never had that sentimentalilty of a family home as I've moved house soooo many times (and parents divorced) but I have always been in the same area. Must feel strange..... as will a warm Xmas next year

Glad you had a good one, been wicked here too what with <<<<< him and Santa, but only junk food for us, no boozing

do u not drink mate??
ive not gone crazy but had a few nights out back home, and the oddd glass of red with the family..
my folks are split too, and the hosue we have only had for 10 yrs.. but me and my mum moved there on our own, but ive always loved in cumbria, and she's always been there too.. will be wierd when she goes.. with my folks splittin when i was young (3) she has always kinda been my best mate too.. so will be hard not havin her an hr or so away!! but i'll be reet :-0

glad u had a good one mate

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

sorry for that bro merry Xmas

i live around clowns and ppl with no testosterone

check my journal

Blimey, yeah that will be tough. I've also moved backwards and forwards between my folks.

We don't drink but we aren't tea-total. Just not worth it or never makes sense. Not against it, just have better things to spend my money on. And working evenings it's nice to actually stay in and chillax rather than always going out. Don't forget, I'm 37 with kids too.........

Still putting in some solid numbrs there dude

cheers mate.. im hoping the little lay off wil act as a kind of kick up the ass too, and maybe blast thru the snumbers i was at just before xmas.. think i managed 145x4 a couple of weeks before xmas, so hopefully with some good solid eating and training behind me i'll be up past that by the end of the month.. then i'll get on my cycle then and see what happens :-)

slight bummer tho.. im goin snowboarding on the 21st march, so that will be like wk 7 of the cycle.. not sure what t do!! would i be alright takin a wks worth of orals to austria u reckon?? plus im goin to see my parents in spain mid feburary for a few days, so thats another small lay off, and also another time i will have t take orals abroad.. as far as jabs go, id probs just load up and jab my wekly dose in 1 as to not miss out....
any ideas DV??

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

I wouldn't risk taking anything abroad, arguably you could tub some up in a vitamin pot or something but TBH, it's not worth the potential trouble or hassle. I would either plan the start of your cycle so that there is minimal interruption or just cycle the oral side of it differently

thats the thing tho mate, im goin t spain mid feb, then austria end of march, so really wouldnt be able to then cycl without interruption til april!! and i really dont wanna wait that long :-(

arrrgghhhhhh... dont know what t do!!

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Well it won't be hugely bothered by the injections, as you said you can preload before you go. So that side is perfectly workable, but while the orals may be fine, it would royally screw up your stay if you had a few hours wasted in customs getting quized and searched. Could you save the orals to run at the end of your course or for another time in this instance?

yayyy 100 pages!!!!!!!!!! :-) haha
well, i was goin to run 10 wk injectible with 8 wks of tbol, so i couldnt really mate :-(
ive taken nolva abroad before and was fine.. i'll have an ask about and see if people have done this before, will check out the legislation on it as well just t see what the crack is! :-)

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Yeah, probably best. The odds are you'd be fine, I'm sure, and it's not like you're taking over a case full of drugs.

Speak to mick_the_brick

he went abroad to one of the most anal retentive country with regards to drugs (dubai) so he used (spelling might be off) a test deconate?

its longer ester than test-e and he jabbed before he flew

I wouldn't risk taking them away with you mate.  When I went away in the summer I jabbed 3ml of sust to keep me going until I got back.

yeh,with the injectible i'll just jab my weekly dose in on ebefore i go, but im not keen on havin a wk off the orals while im away..
or could i??
lets say i went away in the middle of my cycle, could i get away with doin 4 wks of orals with the test, then week away, the restart the orals when i got back for the last 4 wks of the cycle??
i'll have a chat with someone to see if they have taken orals abroad before, especially into europe.. but yeh i can see it not bein a great idea!!

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

I don't see a prob with it mate.  As long as you're not on short esters then you'll be covered for the holiday so a week off orals wouldn't hurt that much.

I took orals away a couple of times but wouldn't risk it now.

You could run the orals like that fine, they are faster acting so it won't take the 4 weeks to 'kick in'. You could time the last 4 weeks so that they end the day before you start PCT

hopefuly build on it from here and get up to the 140 mark for 4 reps.. :-)

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

It's always the same for me, pull work (legs and back) are, and were, fine after a lay off, but pressing work REALLY suffers. Thankfully this time wasn't as bad as usual and I'm already back in the ball park, but usually it takes me a month + to get the numbers back

Ah man, that dinner sounds good.

That avatar film hasn't really grabbed me TBH. Not seen it and probably won't as I'm fed up with being ripped off at the cinema. Not one I'd rush to get on DVD either, even with my new TV

Did you wear those cool glasses then?
