went to gym yesterday PUSH DAY! Cant remember all sets and reps as i forgot to bring my log book and pen! Anyway struggled a little with similar weights before my lay off- got to 80x5 on bench and was really struggling and didn't go for more most lifts were down about 5kg or so! I was expecting this but not so much tbh! Also ive lost 4lbs down from 14stone to 13stone 10 (im discarding the last reading of 14st5 as it was not close to being accurate!) After my usual i added in seriious calve work- just 3 working sets but all massive drop sets

we got down to some cardio Are you running anything whilst you cut or will it be done natural. Do you think this cycle has been planned out a little poorly? Holidays in between and holidays after which makes it difficult to concentrate on adding mass as are worried about being fat for USA holiday? What Test E are you using? Pharma or UG?

hi cj, i wouldnt say it was badly planned out. initially i had everything sorted and a number of unforseen things cropped up. what i would say is i wouldnt run in exam time again- anyway i have no more! Also spain was a spur of the moment job as my mum reallly wanted me to come as i had ended up in hospital shortly before and i think she was really worried about me tbf. as for USA, its not really a holiday. Im going to work and im not really that fussed about having a bit of a belly- its not as if im out there on the pull or anything, and i dont really think my gut is that bad i WOULD admit that it most definitely could have been done MUCH better. the last 2 weeks have been a joke if im honest! I won't be runnin anything for cut as i'll be in the US and dont wanna: A) bring stuff over or B) buy stuff there Also due to running nolva during last couple weeks for gyno pct will commence immediately after which means it'll all be done by the time im out there. I most definitelt could have made more gains and tbh i'm alittle dissapointed in myself as i could have pushed harder- especially with diet at times (last 2 weeks)

Pull Session today! Should have been done yesterday but some stuff came up shich had to be dealt with pretty urgently! Anyway thought it was a pretty good session today and i used my new wrist straps for the first time ever!! Deadlifts 90x7 110x5 110x5 130x4 140x3 (using straps) BARBELL ROWS 60x5 60x5 65x5 65x5(using straps) 65x5 (using straps) Seated Rows 140x8 140x5 140x5 120x8 100x6 (went to total failure doing last 3 sets in quick succession) Arm Curls 30x8 35x5 37.5x5 37.5x4 37.5x5 BARBELL Shrugs 100x5x5 CALF EXERCISES Blasted these agin today with massive drop sets again starting at 160kg for 25reps, down to 140x20, and continually dropping down and going to failure down to 80kg and then back to the start! Repeated just twice but intense!! All in all a pretty decent session strength appears the same possibly a little more! Although i would have to say i was not properly fueled for this session as i was pretty busy durin the day and then decided i was forcing myself to hit the gym and hadn't eaten all that much! Came straight the gym with usual pwo then strainght down pub for Half a chicked and chips! (not the best i no but i was influenced by my gf)!!

Its about time i updated this! Training has been going well but i havent updated my journal in a while mainly because my laptop was stolen and im a lazy ****e! Diet went to pot for a while and is now back on track- i have lost 4lbs since coming off but it appears to have stopped at this or at least plataued Gyno-seems to be going away but i cant really tell- 1 minute it seems great and the next it looks huge! Anyway i have just started Heavy Duty HIT training (Mike Mentzer) tonight was the first night and it felt great and i am still shaking and sore already- havent sweat so much in absolutely ages!! here is essentially the programme i will be following: quote:
which is what mentzer said is the ideal workout: The exercises are performed with strict form. 4 seconds to raise the weight and 4 seconds to lower the weight. this eliminates all momentum and makes your muscles do all the work. do 2/3 warmup sets but only to the point where YOU feel warmed up, dont do any more than that. each set should be performed to absolute failure. you should be shaking!! each time you repeat a workout, either increase the weight or the reps to keep the intensity up. also do not rest between exercises for more than 1 min. you should complete each workout within 30mins. Workout 1: chest & back Superset - dumbell flyes/pec dec for pre-exhaust 1 x 6-10 reps incline press 1 x 1-3 reps superset - straight arm cable pullovers/nautilus pullovers for pre-exhaust 1 x 6-10reps close grip pulldown 1 x 3-6 reps Deadlifts 1 x 6-10 reps Rest 4-7 days Workout 2: Legs & Abs Superset - leg extensions for pre-exhaust 1 x 12-20reps leg press 1 x 8-12 reps Superset - leg curls 1 x 10-15 reps calf raises 1 x 12-20 reps Ab crunches 1 x 12-20 Rest 4-7days Workout 3: shoulders and arms Dumbbell/cable side raises 1 x 6-10 reps bent over dumbbell raises/rear delt machine 1 x 6-10 reps Barbell/cable bicep curl 1 x 6-10 reps Superset - tricep pushdowns for pre-exhaust 1 x 6-10 reps Dips 1 x 4-8 reps Rest 4-7 days, then repeat

I did workout one today: Workout 1: chest & back Superset - dumbell flyes/pec dec for pre-exhaust 1 x 6-10 reps incline press 1 x 1-3 reps 50kgx2 superset - straight arm cable pullovers/for pre-exhaust 1 x 6-10reps 22.5kgX7 (i used dumbell) close grip pulldown 1 x 3-6 reps -65x4 Deadlifts 1 x 6-10 reps 105x8 I reduced weight on all exercises for this as i knew it was going to take it out of me and i was right! It was very very hard session and i loved it although i found it hard to resist the urge to go for another set! Well im gonna see how this program works for me- like a kind of experimen!

I did 90 yesterday but I'm cutting so I don't think 100kg will done anytime soon. If I was bulking 2 months would probably be about right. I'll try 95kg in a few weeks maybe.

Also waiting on my degree results which should be out 2day or 2morro so really nervous!
