**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

**zempey** · 03-01-2015, 07:31 AM

Sore as fuk this morning, my whole body is aching. Might be time to pull back again, my body is not recovering fast enough hitting it as hard as I have been lately. I will be picking up some deca tomorrow to add in low dose to help relieve some joint pain and aid in recovery for the end of cycle. I will run it through my cruise as well until my summer blast. Going to rest today so I am ready for back in the morning, might be a lighter weight faster pace week this week.

**AllKindsOGains** · 03-01-2015, 09:24 AM

I think next week I'm going to do a pullback from HIT, focus more on volume and a solid pump while still hitting failure. This will line up perfectly with when I start tb500, help give the joints a break and allow for some recovery.

Arms today!!! Heavy day

Tris to start

Little cable machine light weight and stretching to warm up

Smith close grip 2 warms, 2 feels, 1 working DD ( again two feels because 2 was suppose to be a working but after 8 reps stopped and added more weight for working set. Keep getting stronger) I know smith machine but 245# was working set

Preacher bar push downs 1 feel, 2 working dd

Hammer strength dips 2 working 1 drop

Single arm DB incline skulls 2 working

Bi's

Straight bar curls 2 feels, 2 working DD

Super set Hammer curls into hammer strength preacher machine

Cable curls, this time adjusted each side high instead of shoulder height. (saw someone doing this at this angle, was just trying to hit differently) not so much lol. But goo finishing burn here.

Today is usually my longest day....probably 45 mins total.

AG you need to do both types of exercises. One with legs straight for the gastroc and another seated for the soleus. One will not get you the other in calf world.

Definitely plan to do both seated and standing calf exercises, I can just tell I'm missing out by not having the option to do seated calf raises.
Always appreciate and value your feedback, Kel!

Got called into work early tonight, so lift is deferred until tomorrow. Hate it when this happens because it throws me off schedule, but I also like $$.

We're making good time actually. Just hit some rain and slushy roads in PA. I'm hearing jersey is bad.

**zempey** · 03-02-2015, 07:30 AM

Back, Deload workout

Chins, full hang to chin over bar: 8 7 6 6

Hammer row: 4 sets of 12 with a good stretch and squeeze.

Neutral grip pull down: 4 sets increasing weight each set to the stack (305).

DY row: 4 sets increasing weight each set.

Straight arm pulldown: 3 sets.

Hypers: 3 sets or 12 no added weight.

My body is sore, my knee pain has flared, low back is sore and tight, and my rc are fatigued, going to pull back a bit this week. Going to up my veggies and fruit intake and back off the starchy carbs this week to try and drop a bit of bf and get some good phytonutrients into me. Had a good weekend of eating and my weight is up to 275 while my mid section is tightened up a bit more, the veins in my shoulders and arms are popping more too. Been taking 12.5mg cialis eod for the past week, this could be helping the vascularity.

Chest tomorrow, going to focus on a pump and hard muscle contraction, have to give the rc a break.

U jinxed me brotha!

1:00am thee guy driving hit black ice, lost control, went airborn over the guard rail, and then went 70 yards along and into the woods!

That shit was crazy man lol and my dumbass had no seatbelt on. Everyone was okay - I just woke up my buddy flipping out and seeing the truck sideways going down the highway.

The worst part was I had to shit so bad. I stood in the cold for 45 minutes waiting for the police and then 30 minutes to a nearby hotel.

I'm relaxing at home for a few days lol - we got lucky

**DrewZ** · 03-02-2015, 10:16 AM

^ That's some scary sh1t!
Glad everyone is okay.

BG · 03-02-2015, 10:41 AM

Nothing worst to being involved in crazy situations and have to shit ! Lmfao. I had to drive from Nassau County out to the Hamptons in that snow yesterday. I couldn't make it up a big hill I had to back down. Traffic was so bad took 25 minutes to back up 2000 feet. Hour trip took nearly 3 hours. I'm buying a awd car !!

**Hazard** · 03-02-2015, 12:14 PM

Thx fellas

We're all laughing about it now (except the guy who rented the car hah) but we were so dangerously close to death and somehow made it through without a scratch. We broke through a bunch of trees until one was big enough to stop us. It was a steep drop off on the other side of the guard rail.

As soon as I made it to the bathroom I speckled the bowl, flushed, and then threw up a bunch of times. Idunno wtf is goin on wit me but I gotta figure this virus out

BG · 03-02-2015, 12:33 PM

Oh ya I forgot, I had to piss in a 7-11 coffee cup while my wife steered the car in the snow because I was afraid to pull to pull off the hwy. I did take a zanax before we left her sisters, helped with my patience.

Lmfao!

Yesterday driving home I shit in every state on the way back from Nebraska. I had to stop at a rest area in Indiana..... The cramping was real bad. So we pull off and they tell me the bathroom was located around the back. I get to the back and it's a porta potty. There were two and a trucker was in one of them.

So I walk into the open one an there was shit on the seat and the shit in the container was built up almost to the seat. Like it hasn't been emptied in months.

I contemplated holding it and risking a mess in the car but its as if my stomach knew it..... There was no way. I lifted the seat with a wad of TP and shit standing almost straight up lmfao. MAN...... I was hating life. I had to hover so high - my quads burned like a mfkr.

I've really had enough shit (literally) for the next few weeks lol

**DCI** · 03-02-2015, 01:04 PM

What a fck up of a weekend I've had. Friday parked up the company car outside a shop I was calling into came back to car and the side of it was scraped by the car that pulled into the space next to me. What a waste of time that was a needless arguing with the owner of the car that hit me.

Chilled for the weekend and now gearing up to do back cannot wait need the weights to destress.

**AllKindsOGains** · 03-02-2015, 01:24 PM

Been listening to breaking benjamin the last few workouts. Takes me back to when I first started lifting as they were all I had on my mp3 during that time. Been great for reminiscing and remembering what I'm doing this all for

**Sfla80** · 03-02-2015, 02:23 PM

Some messed up weekend here for u guys...damn

**zempey** · 03-02-2015, 04:26 PM

Mp, my wife made me have sex with her, I didn't put up a fight since I'm on a fair bit of test and just started cialis, lol. She is insatiable, could do it non stop but I am too old and tired for that much extra cardio.

Has she always been that way? Mine works her ass off constantly and is to tired for me lol.

**zempey** · 03-02-2015, 04:43 PM

Yes, mine has always been a nympho and I have been the opposite since sometime in my 20's. My test levels always fell in the normal range, but right at the very bottom, so I am putting my self on trt now after this cycle. Things have been so much better at home since I went on test, no more fighting over sex.

I think I would rather pursue than have my wife yelling at me when I'm super tired lol. Good to hear things are going well

**zempey** · 03-02-2015, 06:13 PM

I have done the low back machine in the past, we don't have one at this gym, but I wouldn't use it anyway due to bad back history.

Dang it, Haz! Was trying to warn you, not get you into an accident. Glad none of you were injured!

Not going to answer the phone tomorrow evening. I'll get in my lift tomorrow one way or the other.

That machine seems to be bad news for people with back problems. Have heard several people tell me it aggravated their back issues.

Hit back and bis. The last couple weeks a beast has been unleashed from within. Appetites in full force. Weights are up as well as energy and my effort to try and compete again.

**clarky.** · 03-03-2015, 02:12 AM

The snows here i love and the dogs love so extra cardio

**marcus300** · 03-03-2015, 02:49 AM

Been tricky to get in the gym to do anything serious because of time but I have manage to get in and do a little damage!!

one day went in over the weekend and destroyed triceps, that's all I did and ive got to say wooow I made those fukers burn

then Sunday managed to do biceps and again destroyed them, both sessions lasted around 30mins in total and felt good.

Still have pain from my RC which seems to get worse due to sleeping on it.

Doing a lot of rolling and my lower back pain is virtually gone, cant wait to see how I feel squatting

Diet - been hitting carb cycling which is working well. I am around the 252-255lb mark at the moment.

Been off AAS for months now (trt only) and I may start planning something for the future, nothing heavy
