**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[marcus300]

Chest this morning but yet again couldn't get a grips with it and had a poor workout. Got to much on my mind and work commitments are very stressful at the moment. Going to have 2 days off and see things go after that

[DCI]

I think we all find that Marcus, it is amazing how work can affect so many parts of our lives. You are doing the right thing taking time off and finding your rhythm again

[Cuz]

Arms and delts looking big buddy. How about your back and quads? Only reason I ask is I've heard that a big focus point that judges make in amateur shows.

Thanks buddy...my back and quads are ok....certainly its hams and calves that give me problems for sure...all in due time

[kelkel]

Thanks for the response. An you to kel. Im 34, 6'0 tall. When i cut i drop to 210 at 10% when i bulk i get up to 240-250lbs. I am on hrt and have done several cycles. When i started hrt 7yrs ago i was a mess and wieghed 328lbs. My goal is 225lbs at 10% bf and i will get there. Just gotta stay healthy.

Mike that's an impressive drop in BF! Congrats on that. 225 @ 10% would be impressive. Love to see some before and after pic's! If you don't mind me asking, was there a diagnosis for your low T or was it basically "your T is low, now take this?"

[marcus300]

Thx for the feedback DD. Sounds like 8 wks is a good run, with a potential stretch to 10. Never used Mast, so I'm excited fort that.

Masteron is a great compound, I wouldn't say its a great builder but it gives the physique a granite type appearance and hardness what cant be match when used with certain compounds. You need to be under 10% bf imho to see these changes but its kind of addictive when you see what it can do when your low bf, its a great finisher to many cycles and can really make a huge difference by just the hardness it brings to the table. If you struggle to get down to 10% or under I would run the cutter and drop further bf on the cycle but hold back with the masteron until the later stages of the cycle otherwise you could waste it. Cant wait to see the results

Awesome marcus, thanks very much for the advice on this. I'm going to have to plan this out pretty methodically considering I wanted to stay on a "bulk" until the launch of the new cycle with keeping in mind the prime beforehand.

I'm going to have to alter the diet and training specifically designed to keep as much mass and lose as much fat as possible. Carb cycling, high protein, no dairy or sugar, high cals, bunch of cardio. Fvck I'm excited.

Been a long time guys, been here lurking but not posting. Guys are doing some amazing stuff. So wanted to start posting workouts again to try and get a different look maybe get a different idea on switching up things. Still training hard HIT and still growing and building though. Just feel the need Maybe just to switch the order up, maybe pre exhaust again.

It was chest day for me. Finsihed with abs and 20 mins cardio.

Warmed up a few. Then all excerises go with one feel one working to failure

Personal best today. got 285# x 7 here. Didn't drop though. Eye balls were shaking on the last rep

Flat DB press
100x 4 drop to 80 x 4

Incline DB fly
45x6 drop 35 x 4

Flat Db Fly
50x4 drop 35 x 4

Finished this workout with a protein shake, while I cooked some quinoa, and now eating a cup quinoa and a whole rost chicken from the grocery store.

Feltgreat, and feels good to be posting up again. Gained a few pounds this last 2 months. Some fat though, but still getting stronger. Diet is now 85-90% clean. Date night with finace once a week kinda throws it off lol.

Its going to be hard to bulk right up to the start of the cycle especially if your going to be doing a pre cycle prime. Keep the training the same because what built the muscle will keep the muscle no matter what the end result is going to be. You have come long way so your priority is to keep as much muscle tissue as possible so for the time being during pct keep cals high then decide which direction your going to go in. A lot can change during pct but from the sounds of it you are thinking and designing the future cycle which is good because it gives you time to change things around if need be.

[gearbox]

thanks you sir, another 30lbs and ill start the cut lol but I bet she still wont

Not really worried about conditioning right now, as long as I don't get any fatter things should be ok. Still trying to figure out what my body needs to grow...and what isn't being turned to fat.

Body just needs time to grow. Train eat and definitely rest (hard part)
If my experience if I grow to fast then the fat creeps up rather quickly.

Legs tonight, too tired to even post but I am wrote off

Date night cheat meals are fine my friend. Sounds like you're back on track - keep it going and keep us in the loop on progress!

Indeed. Will be putting a lot of thought into this. I love seeing all these guys on cycle and will use it as motivation to stay right on track and be as prepared as possible for the next round. Next level ahoy.

Well, no reason to look back now Mike! You'll learn how to post things here soon enough. Just play around with the icon's and you'll figure it out! Nice to hear of your determination. Keep your goals alive and if we can help here we all will.

We all have bad days. Forget it and move on. Regarding the wife, she seems to have a great sense of humor!

Had company the past few days so no gym time but back at it tomorrow with back or arms.

Chest this morning but yet again couldn't get a grips with it and had a poor workout. Got to much on my mind and work commitments are very stressful at the moment. Going to have 2 days off and see things go after that

It's amazing how much a clear head can contribute to a positive training session, and vice versa. When I have a lot going on at work, I tend to feel guilty about going to the gym, and also get stressed out if I'm late for a meal as a result of heavy workload or deadlines.

Even if I get in there and its later in the day, I have a guilt issue. The kids are home, and I'm not there to greet them or if they need something (help with homework, etc.) I feel bad for not being there. I prefer to be done before my wife comes home from work as well, but sometimes it doesn't happen and I find myself rushing through the session or skipping cardio in an effort to get back home.

[Fllifter]

I think my body is telling me I need a break from HIT training for a week or so.. I don't wanna but I'm getting some new joint/tendon pains in my elbows and knees that I can no long ignore. My plan is to up volume and lower intensity.

I had 2 bad workouts this week back and chest. Even though I still got DOMS it wasn't to my normal standard. It happens sometimes to all of us at least your able to acknowledge that you didn't do well and your going to do better. You might feel better when your hormones are stable when the cycle gets going. Keep us informed how things go

There's many obstacles in a bodybuilders life style we have to over come. Being a good juggler is one of them

Yes take a break if you feel you need one. How long have you been training intense for?

Having two days off training because of my schedule and to reset my motivation to high again.

Nice to see you back here posting again. I can say without doubt mixing things up will help with your gains. Pre exhaust is really good and I'm liking it more and more especially the soreness lol.

That's great to hear your still gaining and increasing strength
