my test cypionate log

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

no workout today, just did some cardio

next week im switching up my workout days a bit, ive def been seeing good results, but i wanna spread out my deadlift/squat days more, so my new split will be:

Day 1: Chest/abs
Day 2: Back
Day 3: Off (cardio)
Day 4: Shoulders/abs
Day 5: Legs
Day 6: Arms/abs
Day 7: Off (cardio)

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

good workout today, shoulders and abs, nothing new really... i just pulled out my vial to inject, and my test crashed.... AGAIN. this is the second time now, apparently cyp is notorious for this, but come on its getting rediculous now.. im gonna have to wait a while to inject cause i gotta heat up my vial again, which means i gotta wait for wandering eyes to vacate my goddamn kitchen... ugh

yea im up a good amount of weight i havent been on the scale so i dont know exactly...

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

today at work i busted my ass all day, so by the time i got to the gym i was exhausted and my workout suffered because of it... nothing major, i still did ALMOST the same as last week for bi's and tri's but i had to work pretty damn hard to do it... next time i work that hard at work im gonna have to eat a HUGE meal pre workout for some extra energy

[jkproperties]

Just keep at it.
It will pay off.

thanks, ill keep at it i dont plan on slackin anytime soon

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

couldnt go to the gym easter sunday, so had to do chest today... i HATE doing chest on mondays, the whole fukking gym is doing chest its impossible to do a decent workout. anyway, my strength was DOWN from last week, im so fukking pissed right now. im almost positive its because usually i do chest on sundays right when i wake up, so i dont have to do it right after work, so i guess i had less energy/strength because of it.

well i guess i might be slightly exaggerating, my strength was ALMOST the same, maybe worse by a hair, but i guess the main thing is i usually feel great on chest day and have all the energy in the world... guess i cant expect to have that after 8 hrs of manual labor... fukk my job its dragging me down and hindering my gains.

also started using some palmers cream made for stretch marks, already have a few from years ago so def not looking for any more, hopefully itll keep any more from showing up

sides= none

[Darksyde]

being weaker after a long day of work is definately normal. if i dont train right after breakfast like i normally do i have no idea where my lifts will be.

yea true true, its just frustrating walking into the gym all pumped up and ready trying to beat last weeks workout and instead barely being able to keep up with last weeks #'s, but oh well i guess ill see where im at when i get back in there for chest on sunday

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

ah good workout today, strength still on the rise, deadlifts went up the most, and i felt absolutely great in the gym.

sides... NONE!!

good to hear. This is why I have so far only done single compound cycles. Ive seen no sides on my 2 cyp cycles. Hopefully your Cyp is in good order and you will be happy with your gains.

so far im def happy with my gains, cant wait for more! im really trying to be strict with my diet (i always try to anyway) but im 100% focused on this cycle. i really dont think about much else throughout the day besides it lol. cant wait for shoulders/abs tomorrow...

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

currently awake at almost 1 in the morning and i gotta be up in about 5 hours... i cant sleep ugh.. i tried melatonan its not not working

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

what a shitty day today... good thing it was slow at work b/c i wouldnt have been able to do shit otherwise. but i got almost no sleep last night, i actually tried to go2 sleep earlier than usual, boy did that backfire... my mind wouldnt stop racing all night. workout def suffered from it. strength wasnt that bad or anything, just had almost no energy and dragged my ass the whole day... thank fukking god im home. everything else going well.

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

well, my dissapointing bi/tri day last week was completely made up for today. its amazing what proper sleep, and not busting my ass all day at work before the gym can do... had tons of energy, and plenty of strength to go with it... good day

[Lightsout2184]

keep it up.

[Darksyde]

where are you at now opuck, week 6? the fun is just beginning

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

where are you at now opuck, week 6? the fun is just beginning

yup yup in the middle of week 6 right now did my 13th injection last night... and hellllll yea the fun is beginning haha... another awsome day in the gym, i completely ripped apart my legs to the point where i can barely stand up. i must have looked like i shit my pants or something walking out of the gym b/c i couldnt walk even somewhat normal for the first few mins after my workout.... ill def be paying for that tomorrow when i have to bust my ass at work. (saturday is ALWAYS busy no matter what, worst day of the week) i dont know if ill even be able to bend my legs tomorrow... so worth it though

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

keep it up.

thanks dude, keepin at it!

good luck bro

well I started feeling the increased libido by probably the 4th or 5th day into the cycle, i'd say at week 4 is when it started to kick in, had some strength gains before then but I account that for the extra food I'm eating

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

strength up today, good workout... been slackin a little with the cardio, i work manual labor anyway so i usually work up a sweat a few times in a day anyway, but hopped on the elliptical for 20 mins, felt good...

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

not gonna lie, i miiiight have popped a few ephedrine pills before the gym haha but hooooly shit did it pay off... was sweating a bit more then normal, but i was beyond beastly today, strength waaaaay up, had so much energy it was rediculous.... great day

[Lightsout2184]

yea i know thanks man, its pretty awsome... im really happy so far with the way things are going... i mean im sure of it that all of the 27 pounds isnt muscle (itd be nice) but ive made some MAJOR improvements thus far so whatever ive gained is ok with me... just hope the gains keep on comin!

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

oh yea and no workout today, i actually was bummed that i wasnt going to the gym haha... i really wanted to hit up some cardio even tho i had no weight lifting to do, but im in the middle of building a wall and door for my new room at my new house... ive really been slackin with it so i dedicated some time to that instead... ill make up for the lost cardio tomorrow...

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

shoulders and abs today, strength was the same as last week oh well... everything else still ok, if i start seeing my strength isnt going up anymore then im gonna up my calories some to keep up the gains...

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

legs went well today, for some reason i always have an easy time training legs, not that i take it easy on them or anything, but i always progress with my legs, a lot of times even while im cutting... cant complain about this, but itd be nice to have a different strong point, like say chest or shoulders (i think my chest is lacking the most ) but anyway, strength up today, still no sides... my bottle of test is so fukking stubborn i have to heat it up b/c its crashed every time i inject now, pretty annoying... so 15th injection coming in about 5 minutes...

whats your chest routine look like man? if you want i can try and help you with it, i have had pretty good success with my routines over the years.

i posted my whole workout routine in the beginning of the log, but i changed up chest a little bit to see what would happen, so far doing decent but still plenty room for improvement...

warm up 2 sets of pushups 15-18 reps

incline DB press something like 9,7,6,6 (reps)
flat DB press same 9,7,6,6
hammer strength machine 8,7,7
incline DB pec flys 12,11,10,10

let me have it darksyde, any advice greatly appreciated

[Darksyde]

well i pretty much subscribe to dorian yates philosophy on how he does it, where its all about intensity, i use maybe a bit more volume. you should work up to a max set where you give it all you got, and the sets before that one are doing work but you dont need to go to complete failure. and its all about perfect form all the time. i could try and explain it but just watch the first part of this vid someone just posted in gen chat

http://www.guba.com/watch/3000120608...cbebf7d11c0900

note his first exercise. he puts 155 on the bar, does it 8 or 10 times, perfect form warming up his muscles. then he goes 245, still warming up (obviously we are not as strong as these guys), perfect form but he only does like 8 reps. then on to 335, i think he does 6 reps on this. none of these sets are all out to failure, but the muscle is still getting work done and reinforcing the perfect form so when he gets to that all or nothing set, 415 i believe, he pushes it to the point where he is failing, where you cant even feel your muscles anymore, but he stays in form as he conditions himself that way all the time so its pretty much automatic. also note that a spotter is crucial for that last set. i think he gets 5 reps pretty much by himself and another with a spot. also note how he is always in control of the weight, not necessarily going super slow but always owning the bar.

for us mere mortals the intervals are much tighter. for instance, take a barbell flat press. for me, i start with 135, do it about 10-12 times. i actually do this twice because i like a lot of warm up on my shoulders before i really get started. then i go 225x8, 275x6, then i either put 295 or 315 on there (depends where i am at at the time) and shoot for 5-7 reps. this is when i am not on gear, when i was on test i was getting up to 365 for 5-7.

so its all about learning where your weights are and how to set yourself up to prime up to that last set. your sets may go 135, 185, 205, 225 or something like that. its not about how much weight you are lifting, its about how you are lifting that weight. over time you get a feel for it.

and then do the same thing for your next exercise (low incline dumbell press for me). then a few flys maybe and your done!
