    Gear has been rattling around my brain for a long time to go on not to go on again. I'm very tempted to go back on. Been over 3 years since my last cycle.

    Another great work out. Beyond the normal good. Can't figure this out. Strength good, quick pace and basically brutal, imho.

    Inclines: Heavy, 2 sets with DD
    Incline Dumbells: 2 sets
    Flat flyes: 2 sets a bit heavier than normal

    Cable curls: 2 sets relatively heavy. Love cable's.
    Preachers: 2 sets last with rp then drop
    Barbell's: 2 sets
    **Note: all curls are done with upper arm not moving from vertical. Nothing but bicep.

    Press downs: 2 heavy, really squeezed
    Overhead extensions: 2 sets
    Dips (my version): 2 sets

    Absolutely killed it.

    After 3 yrs test only wouldn't be a bad way to go. You are like a blank slate at this point. But if you have to add a compound I say deca . Tren can be a harsh bitch.

    I found deca the last time I was on it fuck all for effectiveness. Yeh I'm thinking just a decent lump of test 750mg was what I took before felt amazing on it.

    Hell yes kel. Very nice work. Going in now for chest/tris. It's going to be light with this thumb but I gotta keep the blood flowing. I might be pushing 20 lb Dbs.

    Nice session.

    Biceps done. Gym was emptier than expected, went high volume today.
    Standing cable curls 5 sets (12, 10, 8, 6, 4) then DD with lighter resistance x 8 each.
    SS preacher curls & reverse curls 4 sets no rest, dropping weight as needed to stay at 10 reps.
    Scott curls 4 x 12 - slow with 2 second hold at top
    Single arm machine curls w/ drop then assisted positives & negatives to fail
    SS wrist flex/ext 3 sets 15 reps

    Taking it easy with it man thanks for asking. Still hurts like a mofo and headed into the gym now to mess around a bit. Did a lot of icing the first 3 days and have kept it in the stabilizer which has helped. Going to continue that to expedite the healing and, if I can't find an angle to hold a bar or db with without killing it, I'll just have to wait a few weeks. Just need it to heal asap.

    What was your last cycle like? How was recovery? You said the harshness on your body, can you explain? Sorry I'm just curious. The harshest thing I've experienced is with tren . That one still makes me skidish. But it delivers every time.

    You know, I'm hoping I have it right, recalling it from my days reading M&F in the 70's.

    Standing preachers, but the incline is almost non-existent, pretty much perpendicular to the floor. Everything is supported, can't cheat at all, form is super strict. Nice full motion - killer stretch at the bottom & with the support can really squeeze the contraction at the top.

    Tried googling it once a while back, got a lot of mixed exercises.

    Wait it that the thing that has the strap over the neck a 6 in piece of thin metal that goes around the torso and then curves around behind the elbows. Very strict form. There's a picture of arnold using one? If so I bought one in the early 80's. Awesome contraction on the peak.

    No. Scott curl (think Larry Scott) is another name for a preacher curl.

    O.K. so they are one in the same, thanks Kel. The perpendicular side gives me a different feel, so I'll use it and the more angled side as well. Damn he has just the roundest & fullest biceps.

    Forgive the teacher in me. Actually, because the long head of the biceps attaches above the cup of the shoulder (glenoid), it actually raises the humerus upwards along with the anterior deltoid & some pec. So technically, there is some legitimacy to bringing the arm up with curls. Geek moment over, sorry to interrupt.

    Never actually done this on backside.

    I have done iso db that way.

    What's the point of lying face down on incline and doing curls this way? I've seen this a lot in my new gym.

    Also people doing one arm laterals raises using the ez bar?

    Just curious always nice to try something new

    Look at the big brain on Prox. Kidding that is some great info. A little not a lot though. Right?
