stpete's Test900mg/Halo possibly adding Tren later Cycle....

[stpete]

Awesome brother. Where do you bf wise. Do you watch this or care? Just wondering.

I would guess 15-18 right now. But my abs are more noticeable now than at start. With very little cardio. 4 miles a week.

Thanks, Buddy.

Whew!! I'm glad i'm not only one who thinks that keeping it light was a good idea. Thanks. Can't believe i was, and still, so tired. Not doing anything but this site tomorrow.
Well, maybe some people. The biggest thing i have going for me is experience. Took me a while to get past the mental block of a certain amount of weight on the bar. I used to get all nervous about it. Anymore, it's no big deal. I either lift it or it'll be there for me later. And it's been working for me over the last year and a half. And the halo makes me think anything is possible. haha...

Still wanna hear more about your workouts. Oh wait, you haven't mentioned it all have you....haha..



Yep, 6' Times. As of today i'm 249. Yes my goal is 260 and hold 250. Lofty, but i'm going to give it my all!! Grocery not really. It's the protein drinks, bars and stuff i get while not at home is what's killing me. Those Met-rx bars aren't cheap but they're the best i think. I might have to increase my egg intake. haha...

shit! when i was in afghanistan, i was going through cases of canned tuna. i'd eat it plain and tell every one that the taste / monotony does not bother me. Until after you've eaten several cases over a period of several months. and after that, it just kind of sits on the shelf in the office.

yah, you should be able to hit 260. rooting for you buddy!

[stpete]

Love tuna but my stomach hates me for it. Can't eat it everyday or i'd never get out of the restroom. haha...

Thanks, Times. Have to be very careful of the 260 not being a sloppy 260. Just gotta keep pushing harder than the last.

[Times Roman]

a funny thing happened over in the 'stan. started my first ghrp and cjc 12 month trial. kept getting more ripped, more vascular, more definition. but never really broke 230. mostly hovered around 225. come home, come off the cjc/ghrp, start the tb, and "all of a sudden" im at 235. yeah, the stomach has gotten a little fuller. still at a 36" waist (how us old bulls measure fat).

now, since i have real resources, need to get serious. can't let a young pup like you show me up too bad!! =)

[stpete]

haha...it's the beer and burgers. 36"? I sport a 38". And praying it stays that way!

I don't know mate. looking at your back, you 've got morfe going oin than i do. I look Ok in a tshjirt, but your back is looking like a pretty good end result.

[stpete]

Thanks! Working back is nice but it drains me. And i could literally spend an hour on back alone. Wait til you see my routine when it changes after Oct.6th. Back will have it's own day.

Dude when I started my cut in July (9 weeks ago) I was a 39" waist 225lbs 30%bf 5'9"
I'm now 33" waist 194 lbs 15-16% bf 5'10"
At 41 I've grown an inch lol
Stpete you're absolutely killing it when my bulk starts I just hope I get lifts like yours
Keep it up man

[stpete]

Thanks, milky. I'm loving it but the 3:1 combined w/the lifts have taken a small toll on me. today was to be Day 2, but like i mentioned, i'm taking today off and starting back on Monday w/Day 2. Only going to go heavy on deads, chest and squats 2 more times each. Emphasis on deads and bench.

Comp is on Sat, Oct 6th. Will probably take that thur and fri completely off.

[austinite]

5 days, 11 hours and 22 seconds. But who's counting?!

Halo Halo Halo!

[gearbox]

The wave is around to me halo.halo.halo.halo

Following! This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this StPete.

Pete is going to smoke some chump on lift day. They may have to add chains cause the bar will be full of 45lb plates

Not a problem. I'm enjoying it as well. Thanks for following!

Yeah, i am. Gearbox, i think about it everyday. If i do nothing else, just getting the Bench will suffice for now. I already know i have him in the deads. Mine aren't very impressive, but his is worse w/poor form. Thanks!!

[gearbox]

Impressive or not. A personal best is a PERSONAL best.

What ate you shooting for in bench again?

I hope to hit 405 someday (not on cycle would be ideal)

[stpete]

I'm wanting 425. Next chest day i will get 365x1 and go for 405x1. this will be w/just 2 warm ups, 2x225 and 1x315. Of course normal rotator warm ups as well.

[gearbox]

Holy halo! 425. That is no easy amount of weight. Good luck to you. I think you will crush it!

[austinite]

That's a halo alot of plates!

[stpete]

Yeah, it's going to be heavy. I won't really know how doable it is til i do chest again. And shoulder needs to be right too. That's my biggest concern.

What weight have you done already in months past?

I usually have to ice my right shoulder if I try weight I am not sure I can do. So I often wait a few weeks till I know I can put it up. (Ex. When I was trying for 315 I waited till I hit 285 multiple times then I waiting an additional two weeks and hit 315 2x)

[Buster Brown]

Got Halo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gearbox]

No I don't!! Pete purchased it ALL

365 is the highest i've went this year. I typically don't do Bench Press. Don't particularly care for them and i get better results and rom from other chest exercises. I'm basically doing them cause it's in the comp and i want to smoke some some idiot that thinks he's a bad ass. Thursday is next chest day and i am going for 405 on that day. 365 felt good last time.
I'm pretty sure i can get it once. Icy hot/naproxen/tramadol are my meds for shoulder and back.

[stpete]

Day 2 of 3:1

Back/Bi's/Traps-Left traps out and will get them tomorrow w/delts and legs.

Deads
135lbx12
225lbx8
315x5
405x1
455x1-everything went up really easy till i got to 405 and that got my attention. 455 was rough but i got it and didn't struggle too much. Have to come out of the hole a little better though. This needs work.

Bent over BB

135lbx10
225x8
315x6x4
In case you ever wondered, the order i place the exercises in this log is the order i do them in the gym. Forgot to mention that in the opening.

Alt. DB Curls

40lbx12
50lbx10x10

Wide Grip Pull Downs

160lbx15
220lbx10x10x8

Nautilus Bi's

95lbx15
140lbx8
170x5x5

Decided after first 2 exercises that traps would have to wait til tomorrow. Didn't sleep too well last night and this morning was a wreck. Had a follow up w/my doc and got the go ahead regarding my back and also got new script for naproxen and tramadol. This is much better than buying ibuprofen and acetaminophen in bulk.

Today's Diet
Breakfast-6 eggs over easy, whole wheat bagel, 2 cups skim milk, 2 cups o.j. banana
Snack- 2 cans tuna over salad w/lt italian dressing. Gatorade
Pre workout- pasta salad, met-rx bar, cranberry juice w/5gms creatine
Post workout- protein drink then home. chicken breast, pasta salad, water
Dinner-Chicken, green beans, cole slaw, 2 slices wheat bread, 2 cups skim milk
Snack-Cottage cheese
Before bed-heaping tablespoon p.b w/2 cups skim milk

Tomorrow is Legs/Delts/Traps...Going to start w/squats. Will go heavy on these. Delts will be moderate weight w/concentration and energy being geared towards Thursday's chest/tri workout. Will go in Thursday and straight to the bench after proper warm up.

UPDATE: I have decided to start the halo this Wednesday the 19th. This will give me 17 full days on halo before the lift. Hell, i can't take it anymore. Start w/20mgs Wednesday and 30mgs on Thursday and every training day after. Unless of course i feel i should use some more. I am going to change my routine next week. Details then.

[havanakid]

Sounds like you had a crappy night and morning similar to mine.Got like 4 hours of sleep and fasted for 14 hours for bloodwork which ended up being for naught cause my stupid ass doctor(not trt doc) said he wanted to see me first and then send me for blood which was bs cause he told me a couple months ago to just show up cause the order was in.Guess he wants that visit money to just say heres your referral go and get bloodwork done.Anyways glad you still got your workout done as did I and let me tell you cause you told me to shoot you an update on my cycle..even with little sleep,two meals,and 14 hour fasting I went from benching 5-7 reps at 225 with help om the last two reps to benching 12 reps no help in back to back sets.UNREAL BROTHER UNREAL.Imagine my gains when I get on tren and halo a year or two down the road.I just cant believe it and im only doing test at 450 and deca at 380 as you already know and this is my second week lol,...crazy.Anyways keep it up brother.Your inspiration and consistency pushes me.

[stpete]

^^^Cool. Those are good numbers, and happening rather quickly. Nice. And glad i could be of some assistance. Test/deca is a good cycle, one of my favorites.

I'll be in touch and keep up the good work!

[gearbox]

Thanks for update. And 365 to 425 is a big jump

Next chest day which is now pushed back another day cause of my cold, i will attempt 405. It is a jump but i'm confident about the 405.

That's freakin cool. But you didn't see my latest update(post 231), i am starting halo tomorrow!

Oh crap! Totally missed that one. Thread got big fast. This is awesome. I'm off tomorrow so I can tune in closely.

[stpete]

Felt a little weird at the gym yesterday and sure enough i woke up this morning w/a slight cold. Took day-quil and other stuff but didn't help too much. Just got up from a nap and feel better but decided to stay away from the gym and enjoy the rest. Plus, don't want to take a chance on spreading the disease to my colleagues.
So now i have to make a decision. Continue as planned or skip Leg/Delt and go straight to Chest/Tri's tomorrow?

No, i'll do this:Legs/Delts tomorrow, Abs/Cardio Thursday, and back to 3:1 Fri-Sat-Sun. Off Mon, new routine Tues.

Start 30mgs halo tomorrow.

[austinite]

^ I usually pick up where I left off if Im forced to skip a day. Good call staying in. hope you feel better.

[stpete]

Yeah, that's what i'm gonna do. Just anxious for chest.

Thanks, buddy!
