Shovelhead's Trenless Log
So I got three months to win this thing. Started PCT 2 weeks ago, only reason was to get a sperm sample that so I can start TRT (which I need).

Week 1:
Feel like shit this week, off pct drugs and test wont kick in till next week sometime. Retained most of my strength post cycle thank god but lost a lot of water weight. Sitting at 218.4 consistently that last few days. More definition but less size since end of cycle, due to water loss. Shitty pumps at gym so far this week. Been on point with my diet but training has been less intense due to feeling like shit because of low test.
Leg Day (Wednesday): 219.0 lbs. Had a decent leg workout, endurance was horrible and pumps were decent. Put up OK weight but first day back at squatting in a while due to lower back issues so itll get better fast. Hit squats, hack squats, donkey calf raises, leg curl & leg extension. C+ workout.
Shoulders (Thursday): 219.5 lbs. Had a decent to shitty shoulder workout. Endurance and pumps were bad. Strength was ok, not great by any stretch. Hit dumbbell press, front machine press, military press, lateral raise, cable lateral raise, cable rear delt fly. C workout. DOMS from leg day are decent so that's something positive. Tomorrow is a much needed rest day and I hope Saturday goes better.
Chest (Saturday): 220.3 First good workout in about 2 weeks and first good chest workout in about 4. Endurance was much better, pumps were moderately better. Strength was good. I think the test may be starting to kick in (been 6 days). But the biggest thing I noticed today was I was looking great, possibly the best ever, even better than when I was a 228. I think I've lost some fat since then, and not sure if its the peptides but my muscles were popping really well. Hit DB press, machine fly, incline DB press, decline bench, dip + (superset) close bench, machine bench + rope pulldown. Solid B workout.
Back (Sunday): 220.1 Was looking really good, I was pretty surprised my weight wasn't up. Decent workout, good endurance, moderate pumps. Had serious DOMS from my chest workout yesterday. Strength was OK. Did deads for the first time in forever due to back injury and I held up pretty well. Hit Deads, wide lat pull down, bent over row, one arm seated cable row, iso high row, vertical machine row. C+ workoutLast edited by S&S_ShovelHead; 03-24-2013 at 07:52 PM.

Week 2:
Monday (arms): 221.2 Got my weight gain that I expected yesterday. Killed it in the gym today. Endurance and pumps were great. Strength was great. Still got some serious chest DOMS, must of hit my chest good on Saturday. Mid and lower back DOMS but none in lats, I think I need to hit them a bit better next back day. Did dumbbell curls, db overhead press, cable curl, cable pulldown, seated preacher curl, skull crushers, cable bb curl + reverse cable bb curl, cable bb pulldown + reverse cable bb pulldown. A workout. Left bicep measured 18.0" pumped after workout. Im looking a bit leaner, not sure if muscles are just getting bigger or bodyfat is dropping slightly. 7 days since 1st pin and test is definitely kicking in. I could feel it before I even got to the gym that it was going to be a great workout.
Wednesday (shoulders): 222.4 Really good workout, great pumps and endurance. Hard to compare strength because using dumbbells different than Im used to (one peice vs plates). Didnt have access to usual equipment either so had to make due. B+ workout
Thursday (chest): no access to scale. Basically the exact same as wednesday. Hard to follow diet being on the road.
Friday (Back): Great Workout
Saturday (Legs): Good Workout
Weekly summary: Gain of 3.6 lbs. 1/8" gain on arms, diet was off due to being on the road but still made the best choices I could. Test has kicked in fully, I think. Didn't have much time to update log. Things are going well, my arms and shoulders are looking noticeably better.Last edited by S&S_ShovelHead; 04-02-2013 at 07:26 PM.

Week 3:
Monday (arms): 224.8, left bi was 18 1/8" pumped, endurance was top notch, great pumps, good strength gain, added 2 reps on dumb bell curls. Test has kicked in, aggression way up.
Tuesday (shoulders): 225.7 decent workout, good endurance, ok pumps, not too thrilled with strength gain. Looked great though so thsts something. Hoping poor strength was just due to an off day.
Summary:
Been too lazy to update every day. This week went really well, strength increase was good, added about 2 reps on everything. Been killing it at the gym, pumps and endurance have been great. Been on point with my diet every day. Weighed in at 227.0 today and left bicep was 18 1/4". I look the biggest & best I ever have. Also been hitting arms twice a week and its starting to pay off. Great week.
Increase of 2.2 lbs from last week and 1/8" on armsLast edited by S&S_ShovelHead; 04-08-2013 at 09:24 PM.

Week 4:
Good week. Had some stomach issues and got a little sick that held me back a little but not much at all. Never missed a meal or workout. Finished the IGF yesterday, started the slin today so we'll see how that goes. 5 more weeks of bulking to go and I'd LOVE to hit 240 although I really don't see that happening. I could see 235 and then I'd probally try to cut down to a lean 225-228. Strength gains are still coming at a good pace. Having some elbow issues but nothing major. Looking quite a bit bigger. Clocked in at 229.4 lbs today.
Increase of 2.4 lbs from last week and no change on arms.Last edited by S&S_ShovelHead; 04-15-2013 at 08:13 PM.

Week 5:
Good week, I can definitely tell a difference by dropping the IGF. Less endurance and pumps. Strength is still climbing consistenty. Diet has been on point. But, I have seen a recompostion effect going on. Dropped down to 228.4 and lost some body fat. Not really what Im looking for, especially considering I just added slin, but who is going to complain when you add muscle and lose fat. I've decided to add in another small meal because Im back to work and burning more calories. Elbow issues are gone but getting grip issues and weird pain in my forearm at times of stress which Im guessing is from the GH. Arm went up to 18 3/8.
Decrese in weight of 1.0 lb and increase in arms of 1/8".Last edited by S&S_ShovelHead; 04-23-2013 at 09:25 PM.
