Week 4 of Test Enanthate 500mg/week 12 week cycle --
3/20/06 -- Fully recovered from stomach flu now and back to eating like a horse. Gained 2lbs back from my 9lb loss. Weighed in today at 220lbs, and was eager for training.
BACK DAY
Weighted Chin Ups

T-Bar Rows
90x8 110x8 125x5
Deadlifts
185x10 225x6 275x1 (not using straps so getting grip stronger is essential)
Cardio 6 mins (Starting off pretty light on the cardio because I'm an ectomorph/hardgainer and want to make sure I have a good balance between cardio and gaining weight.
Should be 221-222 by tomorrow as I gain some of the water weight back that I lost from being sick.
3/21/06 -- Woke up hungry and have begun my eating festival. =) Feels great to have the appetite back in full force. Expecting to tear up some shoulders today.

3/22/06 -- Bodyweight 222.6 -- Ate very well today, although I did take a long nap midday and woke up starving. Fixed that fast with some already cooked chicken and brown rice. It's nearing the end of week 4 and the Test has kicked in. I get minor headrushes throughout the day, and the pumps in the gym are becoming insane. I have multiple veins that I can see just under my biceps. In a couple weeks they should be popping out.
ARMS DAY!
Straight Bar Barbbell Curls
75lbsx8 95lbsx8 110lbsx4 (Used very slow motion, 2 seconds up, 3 seconds down according to Swolecat's Torching post. Pumps were insane I felt like I had exploding softballs for biceps)

30lbsx8 40lbsx7 40lbsx6 (Reps increased by 1-2 for each set of biceps tonight)
Close Grip Bench
185x8 205x8 225x6 (up two reps from last week)

Hoping to break 223lbs tomorrow. 8 weeks left and 17lbs to gain. (Keeping in mind I was up to 227 before the stomach flu in week 3, I'm confident)
