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

yeh will be stayin within 5k ish of my best lifts and working for more reps.. maybe throw in a few rest pause reps etc,...
im not on clomid mate, decided to just go with nolva, seems to be bringing me back pretty well... i 'feel' very good..obviously i wont know unless i get bloods, but im feelin generally very good.. water is droppin off and my housemate said to me the other day, which made me smile..' mate, ur lookin the best ive ever seen ya'... so that was a good morale boost!! :-)

If its not broke dont fix it !
 
Im running an AI right into PCT, then tapering off, with Clomid. Never had to many problems with Clomid so am hoping the two together should work well.
 
Then its a long break, Ive spent too long on the past 18mths and want to feel well just normal I guess.

So your playing at being a strongman just like Tony and Pagan*, but you wanna look good! Hmmmm, theres a conflict there, or maybe there isnt, Tony looks lean and big, so does pagan, there could be something in this strongman stuff that i dont know about!



"*Disclaimer - Tony and Pagan are strongman and MrM could be to, this is not the views of Riocat!"

t be honest mate.. ive actually found it easier t get in better condition now by doing predominantly strength training with some conditioning stuff throwin in, than i have by following a BBin training plan..
im in probably the best condition of my life at the moment... dont get me wrong, im ont gonna blow minds with it right now, but im feelin great, strength is there still, and i have almost all 6 abs out, obliques comin thru nicely.. and im feelin fitter too. :-)

but yeh definately gonna give the strongman stuff a go.. im lovin the way my training is goin right now.. and im hopin ill feel the same when i get t start on the events stuff!!

Cool Mate, thing is youve gone into it with a strong base to start with and lookin pretty decent aswell so its all good now! lol I think you'll do massively well with the strongman stuff, you were strong before so i'd love to see you really put it to the test.

All the best mate

cheers fella.. much appreciated.
my training has always been doin this one week, then doin that 5 wks later.. but with this im findin it v easy to stick to and get enjoyment out of it!! so yeh fingers crossed i can start with the events as soon as...

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

ab rollouts
and threw in some 27.5k ez bar curls too

did that as a circuit for 15 reps of each, 10 sets, 20 sec rest between each round..

tyhink ill bump cals up slightly again but keep the conditioning there
goin t leeds fest next thurs, and dont wanna look skinny :-( haha..

off t do quads now..

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

not the best but ok..had last wk off from legs and felt it today.. felt a bit weak from restricted carbs too but not the worst sesh in the world.. left a tad early too as the liverpool game was kickin off..

squats-
100x5
120x5
140x3
150x3
160x3
170x2*2
front squats-
100x3
120x3
130x3
140x1
back squats-
100x12, dropset to 60x12

left it there.
thinki have either a)pulled somethin in my right arse cheek, or b) have a slight nerve impingement... somethin's not right.. felt it last night doin the Db swings.... hindered today on the front squats.. made me feel very weak in the hole... :-(

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

weak in the hole ..ooeer missus!!!!

I'm gonna have a little break from training soon and then do a joe defranco leg workout I've seen .. really like his stuff.

how does that go mate??

yeh well next tuesday will be my last day till the following thursday for training.. goin t leeds festival next thursday and wont be back til monday or tuesday night.. so it wil be a ncie break for me.. although not a healthy one!! :-( haha.. lookin forward t some kickin back time tho..
then back to the grind that thursday.. just solely focused on maintaining my strength thru pct and and beyond etc..
head is tellin me im lookin v skinny etc but im puttin that t the back of my head at the moment.. if ican stay the same strength at a lower bodyweight then hopefully stands me in good stead for the progress i'll making leading up to and during my next cycle.. :-)

Have a good one in Leeds mate, i wanted to go to myself but never got round to booking the tickets. - EDIT: Ive just checked out the line up, GUTTED i didn't get tickets now

I doubt to look skinny mate, what are you like 17+ stone

Quick question aswell, on your last cycle where did you jab? Glutes? Quads? delts? Just wondered where you found the easiest / least pain etc.

cheers mate
ebay has tickets sellin at face value now mate
thats where i got min from, however mine cost 220..
get on ebay and get urself one!!!! :-)
yeh im around the upper echelons of 16st now.. ahha.. so about 16'10-16'11 probs.. but leaner than i have been and just as strong.. so im hapy wi that!!
i jabbed in both delts, but started off with my right quad..never opened the left quad up for some reason
i found right quad and left delt easiest tho mate...
never touched glutes.. feels too tricky t get round properly and jab there :-(

At that price no chance lol

So your not skinny then lol, PCT mind tricks me thinks?

i jabbed in both delts, but started off with my right quad..never opened the left quad up for some reason

never touched glutes.. feels too tricky t get round properly and jab there :-(

Yeah im just guaging were people find it most comfortable to jab, especially fairly early on in thier inj cycle history. Ive seem loads of logs and talked to many people about it and the general consensus is glutes but i don't fancy it as like you say you can't see WTF your doing properly.

EDIT: BTW were you jabbing on the outer Quad? What kinda pain did you have from this, i mean could you walk and train straight / a day after mate? Its just im thinking Quads from the off.

yeh its outer quad mate..
no pain ever really.. either during or after injection..
one time i hit a nerve and it wasnt nce but that was it mate!!

no my ticket wasnt face value dude.. mine was more .. face value is like 175 i think.. well worth it tho fella!!

trained last night.. will update in a new post cos im a whore!!!! :-P

anyway,

Push press-
60x5
70x5
80x5
90x3
100x3
110x1*2
120xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF :-(
90x9

Seated DB press-
40x12
40x8
40x7  -- went lighter on these as i felt gassed, dint hold up too well either.. nothin in the tank... mustnt have eaten enough prior to trainin that day hence the 'hypo' feelin... ah well!!

finished with some laterals and pushdowns...

gonna have today off and do back tomorro.. quads are fahooooookin sore today from weds leg session!!

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

haha.. sorry i missed this dude...
well.. trainin was goin wel mate, strength was holdin up til i went away.. hadnt really trained in the gym for almost 2 wk til just now..
women?? not really at the moment.. havin some down time :-) haha..
anyway, todays session.. seein as i only have 2 trainin days left this wk, thought id do an upper body session today and a lower one tomorro..

bench-
130x8*3

Seated DB shoulder press-
40kx8*3

seated row-
97x8*3

pulldowns
87x8*3

threw in a few cable upright rows and facepulls too..
just wanted somethin t get a good pump today.. shoulder pressing strength felt better than my benchin strength, but i havent flat benched for almost a month now, been goin heavy on inclines instead.. but everythin felt good.. and did onders for my head.. been feelin like a small skinny boy since i got back from leeds :-(

anyway, the new plan-
pretty much the same as the other.. but there's gonna be more structure..

monday-
shoulders
OHP - 5x3 + 1x8, or, 5 sets of increasing weight medley stuff ( probably every 3rd wk)
seated DB press- 3x8
DB raise- 3x8
circuit of upright row and facepulls -5x10 low rest, lightish weight ( tryin to really nail the traps from now on)

tues- legs
front squats- same as OHP
back squats- 3x8
lunges-3x8
ham curls- 3x8

thurs-
bench - same as OHP
low incline DB press- 3x8
CGBP- 3x8
bodyweight dips - 5x15 (10-15 sec rest)

friday-back
deads/ racks - same as OHP
chins - 3x8
DB rows- 3x8
shrugs- 3x8
ez curls- 3x8
hammers- 3x8

so yeh, there we go.. more structure to it.. every 3rd wk i may try push some doubles or even some 'manageable' singles.. but im gonna stick to 3's..
feel greta after today's session, first one back is always the hardest so im happy t have it done with..
will also be addin in some cardio when i can.. either after a session or 2 in the gym or maybe on days off/ weekend..

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

o and i must add, im still feelin the effects of leeds...
still feelin pretty rough, full of head cold etc.. but just had t go t gym, couldnt hack not bein in there anymore :-)

leeds was awesome too..
Kings of Leon blew my mind on the sunday night.. my favourite band anyway, and seen them before, but this gig they did was the best live gig ive ever seen.. unreal!!
so many good acts this yr too.. everyone played amazin sets, apart from radiohead, who i left about an hr in t go watch lost prophets..
unfortunately for those of u who would love to look at my beautiful boat race, i dint take any pics, no one did really.. bit gutted!!

  

Bodybuilding Warehouse Board Rep

Saw you had a good time at leeds mate on FB, Seemed like it was a top weekend, some great acts, nice to see your back in the gym nearly a WEEK after it lol

Time out from the gym always fcuks with my head to. Like meeting a long lost friend (relative even) on return LOL. Nice welcome back workout that an dgood see some structure creeping in... or at last a plan to have some

Sounds like the festival was cool. I know I blaspheme here but you said Kings of Leon..... well the Mrs had me watching X factor last week and some guy belted out love is on fire (that is one of theirs isn't it). He was blinding tho.
 
Anyway, know that your Hippy/traveler fest is behind you, time to knuckle down. I'll look forward to seeing if I should copy your sessons

sex is on fire... :-0
but ill let u off mate..haha
yeh i had a f*ckin amazin time.. i love goin to it each yr but this yr was even better than last yrs..
the routine recently has always had some structure, but ive kinda just gone with the flow in terms of reps done on each set etc etc.. but now im gonna stay with a set range maybe only increasing weight slightly if needed through the 5x3's..thrown some slight conditioning stuff in there too as im liking the new condition i seem to be in, want t try hold onto it so cardio and some conditioning work will be in there too :-)

but yeh, definately time t knuckle down again,, uni is startin again soon so i will have plenty of time on my hands :-)
