I wake up 4-5 times anyways when I go to the bathroom. It's all that water I drink during the day. I might as well drink down something. Doesn't take more than 2 min. Another note, my sleep has not been so good while on gear. It's like my mind is on hyperdrive and I keep thinking none stop. Anybody recommend anything to take for sleep? I heard ZMA is good. I have an used bottle I bought a long time ago, I'll give that a try.

ah well in that case, then go for it. I thought you were setting your alarm clock in the middle of the night just to drink a shake.

btw im definitely following this log. im thinking about doing this for my second cycle as well. i hope you dont get deca dick. I hear caber is very good to fight it

not a bad week considering i am working with an injury and unable to go the distance on my workouts. Nothing ever works out the way you want and something always comes up. I'm taking the day off today so hopefully i'm good to go again by tommorrow or the day after. Arms went up almost 1/2 inch this week. Strange thing is my waist went down 1/4 of an inch after having gained 8 lbs. I have to step up my eating game. 3rd injection was today.

Arms are now a little over 18.5 at 203 lbs. My arms have never been that big at that weight before. In my previous log my arms were 18.5 at 210 lbs, 7 lbs heavier at week 1. My injury is still trying to hold me back. I decided not to do any lifts that will hurt my injury anymore so I can recover quicker. That means no pull-ups, pulldowns, any kind of barbell or dumbell bench press, and no tricep extensions. Instead I will replace those lifts with other exercises I really never do. Instead of the Bench I will use hammer strength machines. Instead of tricep extensions I'll do close-grip bench press. Instead of pull-ups I'll do Behind the neck pulldowns. It doesn't affect my injury if I don't stretch to far up. Strength is up on everything. I'm suprised how fast my deadlift strength is up just 1 week in. My best at the end of my previous cycle was 520 x 6, only 25 lbs away. I could have got that 3rd set to 8 but I didn't grip properly and it gave out.

Back/Shoulders

Deadlifts 405 x 8, 455 x 8, 475 x 6, 495 x 3

Seated Barbell Shoulder Press 155 x 8, 185 x 8, 205 x 8

Behind Neck Cable Pulldown 100 x 12, 120 x 10, 140 x 10, 160 x 8

Upright Row 155 x 10, 175 x 9, 185 x 6

Dumbell Lateral Raise 30 x 20, 35 x 20, 40 x 20

[bifda]

yea will be doing a log when im ready.

[SuperLift]

Lean bulk is not my style. I like to see results fast week after week. I only have 16 weeks to build as much muscle as possible. After that it's all about how well you maintain those gains. I have always done dirty bulks and never cared for leaness, I just care about getting bigger. I lose fat very easily too. I once lost 3 inches to my waist in 1 week after I stopped bulking.

Do you honestly think that was fat lost? I dont think so..

[Aizen Sosuke]

Do you honestly think that was fat lost? I dont think so..

I have to agree. Sounds like you were really bloated.

[methyl]

How much protein was and now your intake last cycle?

[methyl]

Im not spamming but wat a BEAST. Consider a cut cycle after this one but dont rely on the Roids to do it for you like most ids. Try dieting on like 2,000 cals

[Batman360]

Do you honestly think that was fat lost? I dont think so..

That was when I was natural, like 2 years ago...

[Batman360]

How much protein was and now your intake last cycle?

Not alot, my guess for last cycle maybe 200g per day. I'm trying for 300-400g this cycle of protein per day.

[Batman360]

Thanks man. I don't plan to cut till my 3rd cycle. After this cycle I just want to maintain my size as much as possible for 4 months clean.

Monday - September 28, 2009

Weighed in at 204 today. Not bad for being 2 days off. I know I said I was going to give up the Barbell Bench Press due to my injury but giving that up is like giving up soda, it can't be done. I started out light with 2 warmup sets and it wasn't as painful as last time as long as I watched my form. The only lift I couldn't do at all without severe pain for some reason was the Decline Bench Press. Strength not bad considering how bad I did last time. I felt I could have gone heavier but because I had to do perfect form I didn't push it. After chest I gave triceps extensions a try but it was a no go, I still can't do that exercise without massive pain so I decided to do Biceps instead. The pump was unbelievable and it motivated to do set after set and push my limits. I gave Barbell curls a try to see how my wrist respond. If I feel pain tommorrow I go back to dumbells.

Chest/Biceps

Barbell Bench Press 275 x 8, 8, 8

Incline Bench Press 245 x 6, 255 x 5, 6

Chest Machine - went slow on the negative and positive and kept the tension through out the lift

[methyl]

you really need to work on your bench its way too low for your size

[methyl]

oh whats your injury?

[Batman360]

Yeah I know, strength should go up by the next chest workout, especially if I fully recover from the injury I have. The injury is hard to describe, it's under my left armpit, rear shoulder and left shoulder blade. It's getting better though and I should be good to go by week 3 hopefully.

[ranging1]

you really need to work on your bench its way too low for your size

i disagree, 275 for 8 reps is great, i mean shit id say neally 90% of people in most gyms cant do that, i think u need to assess the overal package, i know a guy who can bench 300 but he cant squat or curl shit, overall i think hes great in strength for his bodyweight

[Batman360]

Wednesday - September 30, 2009

Good workout today. Back was really pumped especially after deadlifts. I could have got 8 on my last set but my wraps unwrapped on me. Strength is moving up good. Pull-ups were not that painful so I did them today but I didn't push it on that exercise.

Thursday - October 1, 2009

Not bad for week 2. Injury is 90% recovered and once it is there's no more playing around. I started out light on the extensions and that helped me warm up to heavier weight safely. Face has been oily the past 3 days and more red than usual, also very warm. Also aggression has increased and I get mad over stupid little things that I usually don't.

Week 2 Results

October 2, 2009 - Friday

Weight is now 209 lbs. Woke up this morning to measure arms to see if my tricep workout from yesterday budged any extra size today. They grew 1/4 inch over night! Arms now 18 3/4. Looking back at my previous cycle I am as big or bigger than I was before at 210 and leaner too with my waist 1 inch smaller. I haven't even started lifting the heavy weight yet due to my injury and I can't wait until I finally can.

sorry if u already posted this but are you going to use caber to help combat deca dick? I am very interested in this log bc i am thinking of doing this as a my second cycle with anadrol instead of dbol . i wont use deca though if i really dont think id be able to fight deca dick

[jackjackson]

I read and seen both your threads so far.
I seriously hope you have your diet in check, hate to see all this hard work and effort for nothing.

Can you post your diet, I see alot about reps and sets and daily feeling but no diet.
How many cals are you taking in a day?
How much of your weight is LBM from first cycle to end of it?
How much of your weight now is LBM and also note at the end to see if you gained any LBM.
Because this is your primary goal, LBM
Not trying to rip on you, just trying to help out here.

Nice photos btw.
Also regarding your bloodwork, do it online it will be a few hundred.
Also good to see if your gear is real in the future.

[Batman360]

I don't post my diet because it changes daily and I eat all kinds of things that I'm too lazy to post what I eat everyday. I can tell you that every morning I always drink an oatmeal shake and have done so for years. It fills me up good every morning and doesn't leave me feeling hungry. I'm still not even eating that much yet and trying to get my stomach in the mood to constantly eat. I'm eating about every 4 hours right now. I'm trying to push it to every 3-2 hours so I can really gain lots of weight. I have no doubt my gear is real. Sex drive alone proves it too me because it gets so bad sometimes I can't sleep. I'm not too worried about deca dick right now and I really wouldn't mind if my sex drive fell some as long as it doesn't affect my gains. As for lean bodymass I can't really tell what it is if I can't read my BF. I have a bodyfat tester and will use it to for week 3 to see how it compares to when I started. I know I have added lean bodymass because I am bigger than my previous cycle at the same weight. My arms were a pretty lean 18 in when I cut, I'm hoping to add an inch of lean mass to my arms with this cycle. After this cycle I will get my blood tested for sure and will have the money saved up for when the time arrives.

[Yashp]

It seems as if your diet could need a bit of a finishing, although you're aware of it yourself. If you could manage to eat every 2-2½ hour I think you could tweak your gains even more, the easiest way to downscale the time between meals is simply eating smaller portions, but at the same time keeping the kcal/day the same - this ofcourse needs some calculation and such.

Do you have an idea of the macro-aspects of your diet? How big a percentage of the diet consists of protein? And do you get enough healthy fat? I'm really curious

[jackjackson]

What kind of meats are you eating?
What is your source for Complex Carbs?
Its hard to judge your gains by assumption.
The key to eating 2-3 hours is smaller meals so your body can use it.
Im sure you know all this.
I for one know it is a bitch to get this all down, but after 1 time all you do from there is tweak it here and there.
Batman why don't you post in the diet section so we can help you get this going.
I have a spreadsheet I use and tweak it based on my goals.
Currently im at 4000 cals.
For the BF just use the electronic one for now until you can do better, im sure in chi there is a hydro thing somewhere.
I am very familiar with Chi.

Strength shot up today finally on bench. Injury did not really bother me. I would say I'm at 98% healed right now. I'm still weighing 209 lbs but these numbers are the best they have ever been at this weight. I'm hoping my arms reach 19 inches before I go over 215 lbs, hopefully this week.

I'll admit my diet is not very organized and can vary on percentages of what I eat. On days I train I eat mostly carbs so I have the fuel to workout. On days I don't train I eat mostly protein because I won't need carbs since I don't train that day and to limit fat gain. Here is how my diet looks like on a training day.

Training day
Meal 1 - Breakfast 90% carbs 10% protein
Meal 2 - Before workout 80 % carbs 20% protein
Meal 3 - After workout + protein shake after 50% protein 50% carbs
Meal 4 - Before sleep 80% protein 20% carbs

Non-training day
Meal 1 - Breakfast 90% carbs 10% protein
Meal 2 - 20 % carbs 80% protein
Meal 3 - 80% protein 20% carbs
Meal 4 - Before sleep 80% protein 20% carbs

I have already posted that my main carb sources are oatmeal and rice. For protein I eat all kinds of meat. Like Sylvester Stallone says, eat anything with a face! My favorite source for fats are avocados. I eat those all the time with my food. I also have ***** 3,6,9 capsules. Thanks for the suggestion of eating less portions so I get more meals.

[jackjackson]

I don't have much time right now, but thanks for posting.
If you can get 6 meals in.
Unless each meal is 1000 cals, thats alot to take in 1 sitting.
Try to drop it down a bit and spread it to at least 6 so your body can efficiently use the whole meal.
If you want I can post mine to give you an idea.

[Batman360]

I can see me taking 5 meals during the day if I wake up 3 hours earlier. I also forgot to add the shake I take in the middle of the night if that counts as a meal, bringing the total to 6. jackjackson, go ahead and post your diet, a person can never to be too big to learn lol. I went to the gym today but just wasn't feeling it today. My shoulder joints were hurting and I didn't feel very strong so I'm not even posting the terrible workout I did today. I also did bad because I was driving in the car too long before my workout. My lower back starts to hurt really bad if I'm in a car seat for more than 10 min. When I attempted to do deadlifts with 505 lbs I just started shaking like crazy and only got it up 3 times. That just killed it for me and I wasn't in the mood to workout seriously anymore. Next time I train back I will take the bus on the way instead. The other day at work a lady I work with asked me if I lift weights or if I take steroids . I said I lift weights. She thinks people who take steroids just drink pills and get bigger automatically. I told her it doesn't work that way, but I didn't argue about it or it would seem like I really was taking them, lol. Theres a lot of uneducated people out there about the subject and I see now why a lot of people deny using because other ignorant people don't know about it or they think they know what they dont. Instead of giving you any credit they just say oh he just looks like that because he drinks pills.

[methyl]

lift weights or take steroids


wow thats the retard of the year

Wednesday - October 7, 2009

I had trouble deciding what I wanted to workout today. I really wanted to do biceps because I'm 1/8 of an inch away from 19 and one more arm workout would get me there. However I decided on calves because they need more attention and I'm not gonna neglect them anymore. My shoulder joints could use a rest anyways. I had a very good workout and strength went up. I was so into my workout I passed my parking time of 2 hours and had to pay $18. Not that pissed because like I said the workout was great.

Calves/Hamstrings

Standing Calf Raise 280 x 13, 320 x 12, 340 x 9, 360 x 8

October 9, 2009 - Thursday

Very happy with my results this week. I knew the numbers were gonna fly up after taking my shirt off to take measurements. I could see muscles on my back I've never seen before. The changes are that drastic that I did not recognize my own body. New veins are becoming visible as well. 18 lbs gained so far in 3 weeks. I'm aiming to be 220 lbs by week 4. Arms should be over 19 by then for sure at that weight.

Week 3 Results
Weight 212 vs 206 last week Gained 6 lbs
Waist 33 vs 32.5 last week Gained .5
Chest/Back 49 vs 48 last week Gained 1
Shoulders 55 vs 54 last week Gained 1
Arms 18.875 vs 18.5 last week Gained .375
Forearms 14.125 vs 14 last week Gained .125
Quads/Hamstrings 25.5 vs 25 last week Gained .5
Calves 16.625 vs 16.25 last week Gained .375

[Yashp]

Nice progress so far. Have you been looking at how to implement an extra - or two - meals throughout the day? Imagine how that would improve your gains even more

Glad to see it's working out for you.

[bifda]

nice progress, you ever try 1 rep max on bench?
ive started doing it every time i do chest.
ill work upto to it by pyramid 15,10,7,4,1 ive found its helped with strenght

Thanks. At the start of my cycle I was eating 4 meals per day. Right now I'm eating 5 meals throughout the day and it's working pretty well. If gains slow I will add an extra meal. The only way to do that would be to wake up earlier and then go back to sleep for another 3 hours so I'm well rested for the day.
