Good job, Enjoy hearing your updates. You must be shitting bricks with the amount of food you are eating...
I don't know why 375 x 20 seems so unbelievable, I can't hit that but 315 for 12-14.

**WARMachine** · 11-03-2008, 04:52 PM

what is that supposed to mean?

**CeeLo** · 11-04-2008, 07:21 PM

The difference from Test E and Test P is the ester. Test E is a long ester and you can shoot every 3.5 days and the Test P is best shot every day. Test P will get into the system faster and normally there is some pain with the prop. Definitely not a beginner choice.

**v508** · 11-05-2008, 12:18 AM

damn looking massive bro, that's where i wanna be some day....:thumbup:

**ironaddict69** · 11-06-2008, 02:45 AM

Damn dude I am ****ing impressed. I kind of powerlift as well, but my best is 375x1. How do you do it? And how old are you?

**NewJuice** · 11-06-2008, 08:03 AM

Smoke... This week I began your split. Im through 3 days of it and everything hurts. Do you take your day off after 3 days or do you just go 6 days then rest for one.? I like it so far.

I do 3 on 1 off, or 6 on and 2 off.

Thanx man, I got asked that a lot since I postedthis, but honestly I couldn't believe it when I did it. I never thought I could do that.
the initial set was for 10 reps with a spotter, next thing you know Im up to 13 and can do more, my spotter pushed me to the max and there goes the 20th count

**bigwool** · 11-06-2008, 03:12 PM

easy smoke just wondering why your rep range is up to 20 this is endurance training in imo surely you'd be better adding more weight(can't believe i just said that to a guy who hits 375 20 times!!) and do 6-10 reps? do you have a reason for the high reps? is this what works best for you?
i'm asking because i'm always looking to different routines and opinions
by the way bro you're looking massive fcuk the haters it's easier to hate than to challenge

Yeah man , Higher reps gets me HUGE for some reason. Heavy weight low reps works as well but IMO if you want solid looking muscle, go high reps minimum I do is 15 reps.

**audis4** · 11-06-2008, 10:06 PM

damn smoke!
I've been so busy lately, hope you've been well!
Whats your max bench big guy?

The best I've tried was 415 2 years ago before my shoulder injury, It was for 3 reps only.
Afraid to go higher but like I said above, i couldn't believe it last time since my chest has been screwed up for long time now.

**BTM0085** · 11-06-2008, 11:57 PM

375 for 20.. thats ridiculous. Thats got to translate to atleast 550 or so max right..good gawd, any powerlifting, athletic background?

I don't think I can move a 550.
No not really, just been a gym rat since I was 14 years old.

**Older lifter** · 11-07-2008, 12:25 AM

Back to the Thread,

Man, looking great, feels really good when the size is on and the powers there.

Your putting a lot in and it's showing, good work pays off.

**ironaddict69** · 11-08-2008, 09:17 PM

How old are you now man? I have been hitting it since mid teens, now 19, and I can only DREAM and pray that I will reach where you are. Have you considered doing photos for magazines? They would take you in a heartbeat.

Im 27 bro. Haven't considered that simply b/c I never went so low on BF % to qualify for a mag. shoot.
Maybe after my 1st comp. next year I hope

Thanx for the comments man

**thegodfather** · 11-08-2008, 11:46 PM

Smoke....you look incredible brother...I'm really glad you posted your diet...I think you are an inspiration to the members on this board, and a really good example that DIET can take you a long way! Good job man!

I appreciate it ur comment brother.
And like I said before, unfortuantely most members are concerned with how to juice, not how to eat. It should be the other way around COMPLETELY. Juicing is no deal, eating right is a damn DILEMMA.

**ironaddict69** · 11-11-2008, 09:03 PM

You're already practically there, maybe 1-2% more and it would be guaranteed don't you think?

**smokethedays** · 11-13-2008, 12:54 AM

**Chitown Raider** · 11-16-2008, 05:19 AM

Looking good Smoke! Do you workout forearms I didn't see that in your routine?

**smokethedays** · 11-16-2008, 09:27 PM

Thank you man. I do but not routinley. I do a lot of pull ups and core training on the pull up bar so I get most of my forearms workout there.

People like you and Ergo talk crap hiding behind the computer. My face is out there, and most people here know where I live and workout. You actually can find that info in some of my posts.

Or are you just a mouth full of hating? I guess its this one.

HAHA " I MIGHT ASK YOU TO SIT YOUR SWEET ASS ON THE BAR", hey bro you looking great and i admire your dedication to your diet,only thing you need to worry about the haters are is how to get more haters

**glover** · 11-18-2008, 02:53 PM

Lookin good man! 375lb for 20 Wow great job. You are strong. Can't do nothing but grow muscle when you can push that kinda weight!

**BIG_TRUCK** · 11-18-2008, 03:29 PM

375lbs x 20 huh?

Your not to far off of Ryan Kennelly. He did 405lbs x 20 and he holds the world record along with repping 600lbs for reps raw.

He's also 60+lbs heavier than you. And you did this on only 500mgs of test compared to the grams and grams of aas he uses. Maybe if you get up to 290lbs you can break the world record while being on 500mgs?.........
