Hi Papa

Very impressed with your progress in MT Shape-up so I thought i'd take a butchers at your journal to see how it's done.

Some good lifting, very impressive.

Cheers Tuffy!

No cardio atm as i'm keeping it lean with my diet TBH. I'm not going for all out mass at the expense of condition.  Hopefully at the first timers (either the NABBA in Portsmouth or BNBF in Exeter) I can win on a balance of some fairly decent size and and be absolutely ripped.  One of the chaps I may compete against trains with me at LA Gym.  He has loads of mass and so I may have a problem already LOL  

Anyway - onto the workout tonite...

Chest, Shoulders and Triceps

Incline DB Bench
80lb x 12, 47.5k x 12, 55k x 12, 55k x 12

Incline Smith Press
100k x 12, 130k x 8, 130k x 8, 130k x 8, 130k x 8

Smith OH Shoulder Press
100k x 8, 120k x 8, 125k x 8, 125k x 8, 130k x 8

Quad Superset
Incline DB Bench
100lb x 12, 100lb x 10, 100lb x 9

DB Lateral Raises
100lb x 12, 100lb x 12, 100lb x 12

Machine Flye
100lb x 12, 100lb x 12, 100lb x 12

Gyno flared this week heavily and used to letro and some adex to control it and strength has dropped a little and joints are a little achy.  Bit headachy.  But gyno massively gone again - phew!  Will keep adex up for rest of cycle now.

Dunno what to do tho now.  To compete at the 1st timers, looks like I will have my work cut out!

Yes indeedy!  It may be pushed back towards the end of the year to a later comp as I want some time off, but equally it depends on my condition come January.

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!

Reverse Grip Pull Downs
220lb x 10, 220lb x 10, 220lb x 10, 220lb x 10

Behind Head Pull Down
200lb x 10

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!

Legs

Squats - A2G
100k x 8, 120k x 8, 140k x 8, 160kg x 5 (failed after this point) - arse was literally on back of ankles, couldnt get any lower.  Going for muscle gain, not for sheer weight.  Fcuk me did my face look like a ribena berry!

Triple Superset
Leg Press
340k x 12, 340k x 12, 360k x 12 - will start at 360k next time and try for 20 reps each set

Supersetted by...
Leg Extension

Supersetted by...
Ham Curl
240lb x 12, 240lb x 12, 240lb x 12, 240lb x 12

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...

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.

Re:Papa's Sweaty Journal - Count down to Exeter NABBA April 25th 2010! - 08 September 2009 21:08
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).

Chest, Shoulders & Triceps

Incline Smith Bench
60k x 8, 100k x 8, 110k x 8, 120k x 8, 130k x 8, 140k x 8, 145k x 3

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.
