Nice session Skull.

It really makes you happy when you look jacked after a session when especially when your 'on.' :D

Cheers man, Yeah it's a great feeling!

Didn't up date for yesterday which was Day 11.

Just did some cardio last night, which was 12 mins on the treadmill keeping heart rate at about 150 bpm.

Then I did another 12 mins on the cross trainer, again keeping heart rate a about 150 - 160 bpm.

Diet has been much the same, also I have started to take 1 capsule of 11-test in a morning, and see how I get on with that. Even with 1 though, it gives me a massive adrenaline rush!

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Body weight: 16 stone 4lbs

Day 12

Today I had my 1 capsule of 11-test, it seriously gave me an adrenaline rush until around 4pm LOL, I was ok though, and hoping that the effects diminish some what so I can start taking more!

Tonight was Back and Biceps - PB's on Deadlift

Deadlifts - Set 1 = 200kg 8 reps / Set 2 = 205kg 5 reps (almost 6 just couldnt lock out)

Wide grip pull ups - Set 1 = +15kg 8 reps / Set 2 = +15kg 7 reps

Barbell Rows - Set 1 = 90kg 10 reps / Set 2 = 100kg 10 reps

Low Row - Set 1 = 43.5kg 12 reps / Set 2 = 10 reps

Standing DB arm curls - Set 1 = 28kg DB's = 6 reps / Set 2 = 28kg DB's 6 reps

Preacher Curls EZ Bar - Set 1 = 30kg + Bar 12 reps / Set 2 = 30kg + Bar 9 reps

Already feeling stronger on most things, deadlifts where great, got 8 reps with 200kg which is a PB (just!), and although I have lifted 210 before, I only got 3 reps, so the 205 is also a PB really.

If I am getting strength increases already, I am hoping for good things over the next 4 weeks!

Also, had a great pump in the gym, arms were busting out my Tshirt LOL.

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Body weight: 16 stone 4lbs

Day 13

Went to do some extra chest work today and a little cardio.
Wasn't going for mega heavy sets, so just did.

Flat Bench - Set 1 = 80kg for 12 reps / Set 2 90kg for 6 reps / Set 3 8-kg for 3 reps.

Wide Grip Dips - Body weight only 3 sets of 20 reps

Machine Chest Press - 55kg - 3 sets of 15 reps

Pec Dec Machine - 45kg - 3 sets of 15 reps

I then did a 12 min run keeping heart rate at around 155 bpm.

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Body weight: 16 stone 4lbs

Didn't update yesterday, as it was a rest day.

Day 15

Checked BP on Sat night, and it has shot up (expected to some degree, and I felt it had gone up with pressure headaches etc).

It was 141/94 which is mild hypertension. 3 weeks ago it was 119/72 so it is quite an increase.

Diet was pretty good over the weekend, a few cheat meals here and there, but the weekend is the only time I tend to eat any junk, so it's all good.

Tonight will be training Shoulders and Abs, and I am now back on to 2 of the 11-test caps per day.

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Body weight: 16 stone 4lbs

Day 15 - Shoulders and Abs
 
DB Shoulder Press - Set 1 = 32kg 9 reps / Set 2 = 34kg 7 reps

Machine Shoulder Press - Set 1 = 75kg E/S 7 reps / Set 2 = 75kg 7 reps

DB Front Raise - Set 1 = 14kg 12 reps / Set 2 = 14kg 12 reps

DB Side Lat Raises - Set 1 = 14kg 10 reps / Set 2 = 14kg 10 reps

Rear Delt DB Raises - Set 1 = 10kg 10 reps / Set 2 = 10kg 10 reps

DB Shrugs - Set 1 = 48kg 12 reps / Set 2 = 48kg 12 reps

Cable Upright row - Set 1 = 42kg 14 reps / Set 2 42kg = 10 reps

Abs - Crunches and leg raises

Not a bad sesh, I was pretty tired though as didnt sleep well last night.
As I've mentioned before, the DB's at David Lloyds don't include the weight of the bar, so the 34's are more like 37's (like I was lifting at Fitness First), so i'm happy with the weight I'm managing on this for now.

I have decided to drop the cals a little bit more to really make use of the Hdrol and 11-Test - I need to drop more BF before I do a test cycle next year so might as well drop the fat now, so I can bulk later.

BTW feeling really thirsty on this stuff now! drinking like a fish day and night.

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Body weight: 16 stone 4lbs

Well done on PB mate!

Nice to see strength is coming along nicely.

ps - im liking the extra chest work.

AWG - hes doing 10 sets mate and making sure he hits each part of the shoulder ie front, medial, rear, perfectly fine imo even if hes not 'on.'

Muscle Finesse Board Representative

Hi mate, just been reading through your journal. Best of luck with this cycle.
 
PS. I have used 11-Test with no issues and see you have 2 part used bottles. I have a sealed bottle of EST Phera-vol in my cupboard that I am very unlikely to use; if you fancy a swap let me know.

I can't recall what forum it was but I threw one little c.unt into a sentence and you'd have thought I'd bummed one of their grandmas

Yeah I noticed after I posted, lots of exercises but only 2 sets on each one...I prefer to do just 3/4 exercises with 5 sets on each.
 
whatever works I guess

Cheers guys...

Yeah, AWG, as Ice says, it is just to make sure that I hit all heads.. but you're right, it is a lot, I just like to give shoulders a good blasting!

Iceman - The Extra chest work was good, might throw that in again on sat and make use of the quick recovery!

Current big lifts:

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps

Hi mate,
 
Thanks for the offer.
I have started to use the 11-test at just 2 caps per day again now, and seem to  be getting used to it, but I will let you know if I decide to stop using it again, if I do I would be up for the swap :-)

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps
Squat (ass to grass) - 145kg 5 reps
Leg Press - 500kg 20 reps

Skullcrusher - Gotta say maybe doing 2 or so sets more with dbell and machine press may be better, i dont think 2 sets on each is ample mate, 3/4 sets on each would be more benifitial imo.

Yeah i added extra chest work in for my SD cycle too, as my chest is my weakest part i would say. May as well make the most of the extra recovery, dont overload though as i found i did the first week i added in extra chest work.

Iceman - Thanks for the comments dude. I used to 3 sets on shoulder press, but because I am just going as heavy as poss ATM, I am just currently keeping to 2 sets on everything, although I will no doubt revert to slightly higher volume at some point (like to mix it up! lol).

I also find benching really hits my shoulders hard (even though I dont use a wide grip).

I will def take your advice on the extra chest work man, I am just gonna keep my extra work light, but some nice reps! Hopefully will do some good!

Ok mate no worries, hope you get on better with it this time. No doubt the Phera-vol will still be unopened in my cupboard if you cease

After a really busy day at work and travelling to Manchester for a meeting, I was tired! and wasnt sure how I would fair up at the gym... but I didnt need to worry as I broke a PB in the squat, and even though I was tired, I felt strong.

After the training, I was feeling sick. sometimes get this after leg training though, feel fine now though so alllllll goooood!!!!!

Had a weigh in tonight and I'm at 14.11 stone, but even though I'm not gaining "weight", I definately look a little leaner, but muscles are looking more pumped so I'm happy up to now, and I still have almost 4 weeks left, so I'm sure by then I will look much better. Also, I'm gonna up the 11-test to 3 caps per day and see how I get on.

Bench Press - 120kg 4 reps
Deadlift - 240kg 3 reps

No worries whatever suits you mate. Yeah cool mate dont expect to get to big chest sessions in a week it wont happen and will lead to overtraining imo but you know this anywho :D I did a biggish session say on wed 10sets or so then did a few sets say 3/4/5 sets on sunday for extra chest work. Cant remember exactly :S
