Thank ya.
About all that’s going right now is me trying to get my shit back from the 2 month Covid closure nonsense. Now that I have my own equipment, I’ll never have to worry about it again.

Just getting through one more break in session for bench, and it’s back to my normal programming. A week after that should be the test/tren /mast/adrol cycle.

[Gallowmere]

“Closed off to the senses that exist in your reality.”

GMs: 3x225-5/5/5

Holding off on amraps until I know that recovery is going properly.

Also, drugs.

[Gallowmere]

“Adjust and calibrate,
When the memories start to fade...”

Strict Press: 5x45/5x95/10x5x125 (60s rest)
Pullups: 5x-12/12/8/8/7
Klokov Press: 5x95/5x115/2x2x135
FMR: 4x-13/12/10/9

That was far more difficult than it should have been.

[Gallowmere]

“Gravity taking hold...”

Deadlift: 5x135/5x225/10x5x310
Front Squats: 5x45/5x95/5x135/1x185
Good Mornings: 5x135/5x185/5x225

Looking like everything is pretty well dialed in. About time to pour some gas on the fire.

[Gallowmere]

“Peace is merely a gift for the privileged.
Safeguarded from pain,
This indifference is paid in blood.
All hands are stained.”

Back Squat: 5x135/5x225/10x3x300 (90sec rest)
HLR: 5x-6/5/3/3/3
Plate Side Laterals: 3x25s-13/11/6
Barbell Curls: 3x95-9/7/5

And so begins the summer cycle. Going to let weight stabilize for a couple of weeks, peel some of this fat off of my ass, then see where the program and gear suggests that I go from there.

[Gallowmere]

“Emerging from the light into chaotic silence.”

Strict Press: 5x45/5x95/10x3x140 (90 sec rest)

FMR: 4x-15/13/12/11
Plates Side Bends: 3x45-25/20/14

Already seeing bar speed improvement even with increased load, shoulders feel like the want to explode and mildly cramp at the same time, and I’m sweating like a fat kid being threatened with a 15 minute mile.

[Gallowmere]

To the mark of the divine.”

Realization week starts Thursday. Time to find out just how well this cycle is kicking my sorry ass system back into overdrive.

[Gallowmere]

“When every definition of success becomes different,
It’s hard to really feel like you’re making a difference.”

HLR: 5x-8/5/5/3/3

Well, that went better than expected.

[Gallowmere]

“Is this penance for my sins?

FMR: 4x-16/14/13/10
Plates Side Bends: 3x45-25/22/20

Already back to where I was before the shutdown nonsense. Not bad for just a week on cycle.

[Gallowmere]

“If forcing empathy,
Is as clever as you can be,
We’ll gladly watch while you go down in flames.”

Deadlift: 1x135/1x225/5x265/3x315/1x360/10+x385-11 completed (+5 TM)
Front Squats: 5x45/5x95/3x6x135
DB French Press: 3x37-8/8/6
DB Hammer Curls: 3x37-16/12/10

Not too bad. Lost a bit, but it’s falling closer in line with my squat anymore, so fuck it.

[Gallowmere]

“I did not pass the torch,
Just to be engulfed by the flames...”

Death metal quotes or your own?

Death metal quotes or your own?

They’re almost always just excerpts from whatever track I happen to be listening to during an amrap set.

[Gallowmere]

“Hell bound! I bow to to no man.
So who the fuck are you to say what’s treason?
Hell bound! Conform to no man.
So fuck you! What the fuck do you believe in?”

Finally starting to see what people are talking about with the Tren pumps. Jesus Christ, my erectors feel like concrete around my spine.

[Gallowmere]

“Am I allowing my atrophy?
Or can I stop this from happening?”

Stepped on a goddamned wasp in the kitchen this morning prior to squats. Apparently my brain still doesn’t give a shit about minor swelling and pain when under load.

Pretty much right back to where I started before the shutdown bullshit. Might actually be better, but hard to gauge, given that I’m now training in an environment without climate control.

Let the defatassing process begin.
Started the day at 212.4 moving average.

Deload is over. We’ll find out Thursday just how pissy my body with be on full Juggernaut with nearly zero energy substrate coming in.

[Gallowmere]

Back Squat: 5x135/3x225/2x275/1x315/5x5x335/12x335
HLR: 3x-8/7/5
DB Side Laterals: 2x20s-18/15
Barbell Curls: 1x45-25

Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, given how little substrate I am consuming, and how much I’ve been working.
