Felt a bit sniffly today and it drained me so short session than normally.  Ok all the same.

Been i'll with cold so i'm havin a day or two off extra to get myself properly well. Can't wait to do some more rack pulls - addictive!

Back

Rack Pulls
140k x 10, 180k x 8, 200k x 8, 220k x 5, 230k x 3, 240k x 1 - wasn't humping the bar hard enough - will do this and see the weight rise!

Behind Head Pull Down

Gym closed at this point.  Pleased at rack pulls but need to hump bar on the way up harder to make it easier and the weight thus higher - going the right way tho!  Physio on back should also mean less pains from heavy back work too!

Been ill for a few days so no updates.  Back in from Monday I think

now then mate, pleased you have decided to go for it. if the nabba shows are too soon in the year then look at the ukbff ones, they are always at the back end of the year.

having a goal gives focus like nothing else can!

Excellent....not popped in here for ages and I find you're planning on competing......
and as a natural!!! hahahahaha!

Right now, visualising big thick legs.  Seeing where I wann go.   Thinking big tree trunks.  When I wanna thro - just look past it, look where I wanna be.  When be doing that extra rep, getting that extra micro tear, getting that little bit bigger...

How are you finding giant sets...noticed the last couple of workouts that you've been doing them...any particular reason?

How did you feel doing that triple super-set?

I feel ill just looking at it!

Just like working as hard as I can TBH.   I have lower back problems so sheer weight can be a problem, countered by superset's.   Also finding they are helping to build shoulders/chest quite well too.

I love supers & giants!

How did you feel doing that triple super-set?

I feel ill just looking at it!

Akin something to like this!

Hi Papa
 
sorry if this has been asked before but
 
how much did you weight when you first started training? and what your height?
 
and
 
what your fav med?
 
thank you for your time
 
Joe

I weighed 12 stone and i'm about 6' or so.  Once or twice i've been measured taller oddly but I like to say 6' ish.  I'm now the same height and 17 stone on the nose, prolly mid teens body fat levels, with quite clear abs when I do the BBing ab pose.

Fav med used to be tren as the strength effects used to be mental.  These days I can barely tell the difference, and its just a war of attrition against the weights, and upping the dial intensity to 11 on a scale of 1-10.

Normal cycles these days are 1-1.5g of test and about 500mg or tren or deca, altho this rebound bulk cycle I have used injectable oxy and liked it in the same vein as deca or tren, just jabbing every day (since 5th Aug) gets on my tits a little. 

Will be coming off soon so end of next week will drop to 250mg PW for 4 weeks then off.  Will be using either HGH, HGH frags, CJC or the like and slin.  Just trying to keep the mass on whilst my HPTA takes a little time off (been on far too long).

Struggling with a dodgy belly still but pushing on.  Exercises down, but weights increased or kept the same.

How long have you been on for now then? and when your on do you stick to 1-1.5g test the whole time or do you drop to say 250mg for say 4-6 weeks just to give the body a little rest.

I've been on for 8 months, with a few months gap, before then and then about 8 months and a few months gap before then.  Really need to come off at the end of the month till end of Jan IMO.  Not enough time to properly recover but at least the HPTA to have some kind of fuction running thro it.

Mind you, if it kicks too hard I may have to just cruise on a very low dose so the rest of my system gets a rest from higher doses.

As for the cycles, I tend to do higher doses for 3 months, down for 2 months an then back up for 3ish.
