    Shot day for me, then a quick run through the grocery, and I may go get my replacement lenses put in. Still can't believe I gouged my tempered glass lenses with welding slag, but on the other hand I am.somewhat clumsy.

    If you're referring to bulking as opposed to cutting, I'm not a fan of bulking. Never have been. I'd rather just slowly put on quality muscle. I never saw the point in putting on weight (usually fat) just for the sake of the scale then having to lose it.

    I'm not looking after the "shredded" look most guys seem to want. Although I lower my bf a little during spring and summer, I never do crazy diet where one loses both muscle and fat.

    IMO you only need to really cut if to compete, which is not something im seeking.

    Honestly dont like how most ppl look with low bf (sub 9%)

    A true 10% is damn lean and I agree with ya on that or 12% isn't bad but maintaining 10% is much easier than 8% or anything under for that matter....

    Great day turned into a shit storm...I may still be able to fit my session in we'll see. I haven't had the chance to eat much(didn't cook enough). We'll will see!

    Nice sessions fellas

    Legs today went well, sorta:

    Extensions: 2 moderately heavy 15-20 reps
    Squats: Got up to my possible working weight and on about the 8th rep felt a wee niggle in my right lower back so I just sunk down another inch and set on on the safeties. Twas an odd feeling, not a sharp pain but my mind said set it down. Had to unload it, put the bar back in place and load it again. Sucked. Anyway, I got under it again determined and pumped out 12 with no pain. Weird. Think it's time to visit my chiro friend, which I'll see if I can tomorrow.
    Vertical press: 2 sets 12-15 reps with feet a little closer together than normal. Felt good, non-lock.
    Seated curls: 2 sets heavy, 12-15 reps.
    Calve crap as usual.
    No drops or rp's today.

    Turned out better than I thought after the wee niggle. Haven't had to set one down like that in a long time.

    Thanks for the input Kel, BB and all. I'm definitely not trying to bulk, but I might be liking myself more at 15% instead of 12%. I think since I've lowered my prolactin from 400+ & started T, my fat is distributing itself differently/"better".

    Biceps
    Machine curls; 2 wu, 2ws with dd on last.
    Scott curls: 2ws of 15 with 2 second hold & 10 second eccentrics
    One arm preachers: 1ws - positive, positive assist & negatives to fail.
    Reverse curls: 1 ws w/ single drop

    Rear Delts & Back
    Rear pec deck: 2 wu & 2 ws
    Incline bench reverse flyes: 2 ws
    High face pulls: 1ws w/dd
    Machine rows: 2wu, 2ws w/ single drop on last
    Single arm cable rows: 2ws w/ single drop on last

    Good. That's about the minimum spread you want. Just make sure you pull BW the morning your shot is due, but before the injection. I'd particularly like to see where you land on your current 2 week protocol.

    Slight cheat meal before I crash out since this is going to be a 7 day work week. Went with chicken chow mein, no salt, no MSG, and I drained all of the sauce/juice off of it, so hopefully not too calorically offensive.
    Legs before work is the plan..I tell you what, I really think adding in the day that I only work on squats and hit calves just might payoff over the long haul. If I don't do.anything stupid/tear a muscle, I believe there may a tad of improvement in a few months?

    Shoulders tonight warm ups a plenty. Heavyish weight today.

    Shoulder presses with dbs 3 warm ups and two heavy sets with a drop. Felt good haven't done shoulders in a long time due to the rear muscle pain in my shoulder.

    Then onto front and side raises super setted.

    Bb shrugs and to finish rope pulls. Shoulders where pumping haha felt great.

    Legs tomorrow

    You should follow the doc's instructions until the first BW, which SHOULD be in about 6 weeks or so. Remember, pull the blood work the morning you're due to pin but before said pin.

    Matter of fact, when does the doc want to pull BW?

    I only did 30 min of stair master but I'll take it. That miserable crud is after me again since a lot of my coworkers are in round 2. Apparently some virus. Sinus, cough....

    Anyway I am reevaluating my approach to fitness. Lately not wanting to even go to gym. Thinking I need to make some adjustments bc I love working out. Been extremely fatigued the last few months. Going to adjust diet and likely cut down to 3 day schedule. Idk. I need to change something bc I do better all around she. I am working out regularly.
