    Morning HITers!

    My arms are completely useless lol... hit some new weights on preachers yesterday but I'm trying to hit the 65s for 4-6 reps in the upcoming wks... this ex' & hammers truly give thickness and peak I found the exact same bicep machine DY used but it's more of an incline curl but your elbow is tucked deep in the pad and the squeeze and static hold is amazing...

    My body is reacting greatly to the Sust/NPP/d-bol(being pulsed) -- with occasional Tren base added(very nice)

    Legs today I'll be reporting back but I got time to get fed and watered @ least 2-3x prior to gym

    @ Marcus - how long should I go(I know I can make 10days) so would I stop there being there's no sides(like we want when pulsing)? Or try and go to 12-14on 10off -- or just keep it at 10on 7-10off?? Thx as always!

    At what stage do you start seeing sides? If you start seeing stomach issues like me at around 2 week mark I will pulse at day ten. No point in taking it right up to when sides appear so 3 to 4 days before is ideal

    That is exactly when I start feeling them - 12-14 days in... stomach issues halting my kcal intake, and all around upset stomach so... no I don't even want to come close to that(I'd be defeating the purpose of what I'm trying to do)...
    Would you match time on with time off - 10on & 10off... or have you done 10on 7off... & how long can I run it say at 10/10(8 wks? Shorter or longer) I'm using UDCA for liver support!

    I've always felt and had better performance from matching time on time off. I wouldn't push it

    Well, the shoulder niggle is still there, so I think I will stick with the routine below for a few weeks after I start back with the all out HIT. Incline exercises are more painful than flat exercises and presses are more comfortable than flyes, so I'm about positive it's the left anterior that is acting up. Anyway, I feel like I stimulated the pecs pretty good, although my weights are down a shade? On the plus side, my elbows were killing me too bad to even do flyes on my last chest day so today is progress.
    Marcus, the pressing with the hands parallel idea was right on time. It hits differently and gives me an option to add in. In my mind I kind of pictured a reverse row starting wider and then arcing inwards a tad and the movement worked out well, so much appreciated! It is very much like a machine movement I used to do years ago, but damned if I can recall the name of the machine.
    Kept moving steady tonight w/ very little breaks.

    RC exercises and broomstick stretches
    Incline flyes- 2 w/u, Work1- 10+ reps. Drop weight. Work2-8 reps
    Incline press- 2 w/u, Work1-7 reps. Drop weight.; Work2-8 reps. Drop weight. Work3 w/ hands parallel- 6+ reps.
    Flat flyes- 2 w/u, Work 1-5 reps. Drop weight. Work2-7 reps.
    Flat press- 2 w/u, Work 1-1+ rep. Drop weight. Work2 -6+ reps. Drop weight. Work3 w/ hands parallel- 8+ reps.

    Wrist curls w/ a dry Oly bar- palms up and palms down to failure.

    40 minutes total.

    Well legs didn't go as planned..... at all! Have a 'wee niggle' in the quad I partially tore last yr.... it always happens on the eccentric part of the movement?! Tried leg presses - nada... it's not that bad but was bad enough to make me really Hun shy on getting to parallel/or just b4 even... pissed!
    So.... I stayed and hammered my traps and rear delts for a fill in day! Gotta get these rears stronger! And really want my delts to POP(Q-tip delts ).

    Lots of RC ex's(internal & external rotations etc) light side laterals/front raises

    Traps
    - wide grip BB Shrugs - focusing on pulling shoulders back then shrugging up(30sec in between sets)
    Pyramided up to 405
    4x 315 12-15treps to failure
    1x 356 12 failure
    1x 405 10 but had to RP 2x -- dropped 315/8-10/225x 15 +RP 7

    - face pulls w/leg up pulling as high as possible!
    2w failure w/3 drops failure

    - shorter straight Oly bar off hyper machine wife grip for rear delts(off hyper machine to work & stabilize core & low back

    -rev pec dec s/s w/side laterals
    1w 2 drops each to failure

    DB Shrugs
    1w 3drops to failure

    Great pump just pissed I tweaked my L quad(warming up too) so could be worse - 42min

    Time for me to get horizontal. Unless I oversleep, I think I'll hit legs tonight. Leg lifts on Wednesday seems to work pretty d@mn good for Kel.

    What's up guys? Broke my fvcking thumb last night taking the trash out, hit the first step in my backyard and went tumbling down. Hit my leg and my ass, and tried to break the fall I think with my thumb. I've got a stabilizer on it right now and it hurts like a mofo. Obviously going to impact the gym someway somehow but I'm gonna get in there today and test the waters a little bit. I'm pretty pissed about it, and disappointed, but nothing I can do at this point.

    Negative. Skip the gym today. Not worth the risk of damaging anything more.

    Very sorry to hear Igi.
