Gearheaded’s crazy EXPERIMENTS log

What's the rationale behind taking both Mast P and Mast E? Or are you planning to drop the P after a few weeks?.

well sometimes I do things based on pure practicality rather then 'science' . I've got a bunch of bottles of mast prop, yet just one bottle of mast e sitting there , so I'm just using up that bottle of mast e. once thats gone it will be 100mg of Mast prop every day.

You let me down! I was expecting this big explanation on 1/2 life, synergy between oils and nutrient partitioning. LOL

Training --

ok so I just came off a 12 week training block. it was a 12 week macro cycle, with individual micro cycles that alternated from mechanical tension phases, to more volume and metabolite phases. it was push, pull, legs, with an added arm day.
so week one (or micro cycle one) would be more heavier weights and mechanical tension focused for all workouts (8-12 rep range), then week two (or micro cycle two) would be more volume and higher reps with a metabolite and blood flow focus (reps were not counted it was all about 'feel', but probably in the 12-30 rep range depending on exercise.)

anyhow I'm ready for a new 'macro' cycle (training block, workout split, etc). I may change things up completely.

I'm open to suggestions (HIT, high volume, two a days, super high frequency, etc..)

until I get it all planned out I'm just doing push pull legs with a more instinctive style training. with some added touch up work days.

one 'experiment' I'm thinking of trying (and I've already somewhat started) is every day training with no days off. sure you have high intensity days, moderate days, and light touch up work days, but you don't take planned days off. this would only work in a hyper-caloric state and a high drug use state (which I'm doing both).

just an idea . but again I'm open to ideas for a 'training split experiment"

What about working out 3x day for a max of 30-40 minutes each. A different muscle group each session. Go in and kill the muscle. Limit the rest time. I was in my 20’s and this routine is what started me growing. I would do it if I had time, just to see.

so putting that together with say for example a push pull legs.. it would look something like this?

Day 1 push
workout 1 Chest
workout 2 Delts
workout 3 triceps

Day 2 pull
workout 1 Lats and mid back
workout 2 traps and rear delts
workout 3 biceps

Day 3 legs
workout 1 hamstrings
workout 2 quads
workout 3 glutes and calves

Yes. It worked when I was young, I am assuming because of all of the natural test. It should work with high chemicals. If you do try it, let me know how it goes.

ok , yeah whatever I end up doing I will definitely lay it all out in details on this thread and log the results as I go.

I like that split a lot

I agree, but it is taxing on the CNS if done right.
It may be difficult for GH because he will need to ignore people during that time.

I like it 2 weeks before a show when you are depleted and beat to shit. But I don’t have the time to hit 3 body parts. I’ve got to be in and out in less than an hour. I’m a one part a day type guy.

You must have had a good horse if you were taking a horse and buggy to the gym 3x a day in your 20’s. Did Mr. Sandow train there too?

Sorry couldn’t resist.

Actually, it was in a garage. It was f’ing cold in the winter especially when it got down to -30.
That was dedication!

BTW- we were poor no horses. I would walk through 3 feet of snow uphill both ways. LOL

That's how I trained for most of last year. 8-10 week cycles of 2-3 times per day... followed by 2 weeks of active rest.

Not gonna lie... it worked.

don't think its going to be long for this little experiment to be considered a failure . I'm on my 10th day in a row of working out with no breaks .. I crashed pretty damn hard in the middle of my workout today. totally drained and unable to finish.
(I know I know, most you guys would of told me that was going to happen)

I could have told you that would happen.
But I have a physically demanding job. Not as much as Obs. But I’m constantly moving or carrying heavy shit on a daily bases. I have to have recovery time. That’s why I have to go to the gym early in the morning. I’m too beat after work. But I feel bad if I miss a training day even though I’m sure it’s needed.

well I feel for you. I owned a contracting company for a lot of years. putting in a hard laborous day for 10+ hours both physically and mentally takes its toll. bout the only physical thing you want to do after work is lift a beer.
much easier and efficient to put on muscle when your physical efforts are more directed and specified for your goals

You guys keep reminding me how much I dont wanna do what I gotta do.
