    I wouldn’t know what to do with all my free time. I’d say I average 75-80hrs a week, but we’re busy right now. Thank God for ephedrine!

    Hi guys,

    Been mostly resting this week. The body just needed it. Good to see Kel back, figured he was resting. Appreciate all the hidden Likes I get when posting. It is encouraging somehow knowing you guys read what I post :-)

    Need a bit of help if anyone got a couple of minutes. I posted a Thyroid Panel here (https://forums.steroid.com/%2A%2Acon...sts-right.html) and I am not sure what is going on but considering the amount of T3 and T4 I am taking it does not seem right. Do anyone get any ideas looking at that?

    Thanks

    Back from training and fair to say it was heavy. The last piece, odd object conditioning, was insane. Had nothing left in the tank when I left.

    “Everest”
    21-15-9
    Back Squats - 110kg
    Strict Handstand Push-ups

    Dumbbell Push Press
    Build to a Heavy Set of 8 - 12.5kg, 15kg, 22.5kg, 25kg, 30kg (5 reps)

    Conditioning
    For Time:
    30-20-10
    One-Arm Dumbbell Snatch - 22.5kg
    Calorie Assault Bike

    Stamina Conditioning
    On the Minute x 10:
    8 Burpee Box Jump Overs - 24" Box

    Odd-Object
    Not For Time:
    1 Mile Sled Push
    The empty sled weighs 50kg. We had a stretch of 46ft I had to ran back and forth 115 times. Fair to say the head was spinning at the end.

    Woah forgot posting workouts..

    4th last training
    db bench 60 x 5,5,3 setup fail on the last set might have gotten 4
    db incline 45 x 12,10,6
    dips +40x10,8,7
    reverze ezbar curl 40x10,8,7
    pec dec rear delts 5x20,20,20

    3rd last training
    SLDL 220x4
    DB SLDL 60 x 6,8,8
    BB Row 140 x 10,10,10
    medicine ball crunch x 35,25,20

    2nd last training
    DB press 50x9,7,6
    Pullups without straps (proper bar this time for grip) +15x12, underhand grip +15x12, wide grip +15x4
    cable side raise with external rotation end (hands up finish) 5kg x 12,14,12
    standing calf 115x34 RP 12 RP 12
    seated calf 35x40 RP 12 RP 12

    tonights training
    box squat 200x3,3,3
    seated safety bar good morning 140x6,6,6
    standing cable crunch 50x25,25,7
    very tired after squats, hard day at work + arrived in the gym at 11pm

    Finished evaluating saving failure for the last of three sets, the end results are pretty similar but there is a lot of interference of trying to save/spare fatigue as the forthcoming exercises vary every workout depending on how it went on the previous exercise... With failure from the start I get even fatigue and can measure things much better, plus I actually feel I got more work done. It does not spare the CNS one bit, thats pure BS. One set of heavy deadlifts trumps all the CNS sparing 10-fold which renders it all useless. Not going back now. However for squats it just works better. For deadlifts its one all out set. For everything else I might stick to 2 sets to failure so I can get a bit more work in and save time.

    Thinking of a new plan of attack on the same split. Will think of it and post later some time.

    Never have thought much of trying to "hold back". It seems to inevitably lead to situations where you short change yourself.
    I try to hit failure within 2 sets, 1 set if possible, unless I'm dealing with an injury and have to run more sets. The exception would be squats. I've grown to love mulitple 20 rep sets. It seems to really tax my heart, which is good!

    Sorry for the lack of participation, everyone. I really "shotgunned" the posting of my resume and the phone and email both have been blowing up, even during the holidays and the weekend. It's been hectic trying to make contact with all of them, but I will kick my own ass if I don't speak with all of them.
    Will try to post up something tomorrow.

    Interesting training day. We ran a benchmark workout, and you essentially push as hard as you can through these. I had more in me, but after this, I was supposed to do the rest of the stuff and only got halfway there. Anyways, felt good pushing.

    ”Helen”
    3 Rounds:
    400 Meter Run
    21 Kettlebell Swings - 24kg
    12 Pull-ups
    TIME: 9.58

    Conditioning
    Buy In: 75 Calorie Row
    Then, 3 Rounds:
    30 Double Unders
    30 GHD Sit-Ups
    10 Wallballs - 10kg

    I can get a proper failure with just one set. I got inspired to try from some articles of well known people. Well, not going to let go of my old principles again, I know what is true and what works for me...

    You have some of the most vascular legs I’ve seen. Do you do occlusion training?

    Had to look that up. Oh hell no. Just have to get moving some weights and the veins pop out. Here's a pic from a few weeks ago:

    Restricting blood flow never seemed like a good idea, but I might consider it for vascularity like Kels. Serious wheels fella

    I'm awake and moving. Squats tonight. After the time off, I may have to ease into it somewhat, we'll see.

    I surely had to. Lighter extensions, moderate weight squats and lunges. Done. Hams and calf's tomorrow.

    You split legs on two days or this is only because you took some time off and are readjusting yourself?

    Went better than I thought, but not as well as I hoped for.


    Crunches-170
    Leg extensions - 70-ish moderate weight reps with knee sleeves on.
    Deads - 1 light set of 20 with a slow negative on each rep.

    Squats:

    Dry bar - 1 x 20
    Plate/side - 1 x 20
    2 plates/side - 1 x 20
    3 plates/ side - 1 x 20, 1 x 14
    2 plates/side - 1 x 20
    Plate /side - 1 x 20

    53 minutes. Temps aren't bad considering my shop isn't air conditioned, but the humidity is a real eye opener.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
