Gearheaded’s crazy EXPERIMENTS log

[KennyJ]

UPDATE -
when it rains it pours.. so I got over that nasty nasty stomach flu. diet has been a joke trying to bounce back from that (lets just say pounding tons of clean food isn't happening). that really drained me. THEN I have a freak accident at home and busted the hell out of my shoulder (the one thats been giving me fits with rotator issues and keeping me from bench pressing heavy the last year).. I've barely been able to dress myself in the morning let alone train.
not the best start to a 'cruise phase' by any means at all . so I've been out of the gym for the longest I've been in quite awhile not training (of course I own the damn gym and work there and train clients, so yes I'm still there lol . I just haven't trained myself). I guess I'm going to have to focus on growing these legs right now with this damn shoulder issue.

its always something guys. thats life. you can't ever catch a break . just gotta find a way to work around all the bullshit that life throws at you

Sorry to hear about this. I can definitely relate to "it's always something and when it rains it pours". My sister passed away this past year and even without that it's been a seemingly never ending problems type of year.

[Family_guy]

also because of my freak shoulder injury . my emergency protocol (from left over stock).. per day .. 5iu of HGH, 500mcg TB-500, 200mcg Hexarelin. unfortunately no BPC on hand

I assume this is for healing injuries right?

What’s tb-500?

yes thats it . otherwise I would't be running them at this point (well the hgh stuff gets cycled in and out all the time)

tb500 is a naturally occurring protein based peptide that promotes healing. Thymosin beta-4 is its technical/medical name.. by natural occurring I mean the body produces it on its own (just like HGH) to help the healing process

Here's a couple interesting write up's on them:

Thanks that’s very interesting stuff.

So they’re both totally legal too right? I was reading those articles and they sound pretty amazing. Especially tb 500

Yes, legit. You can find supporting studies on PubMed for both substances.

OPINIONS wanted--

ok guys I'm a little laid up with this nagging shoulder. but I'm still going to work around it. so want your opinions. do I focus on cutting and attempting to get super shredded , or do I focus on massing and just trying to get as much size as I can right now ?

I haven't really cut in forever it seems like. I know if I was a lot leaner I'd have a lot more details, especially in my back. but I'm not near big as I'd like to be either.

heres some pics .

if I was about 5% leaner here my back would be a lot more detailed

however I still want to get a lot wider, thicker, and fuller

abs and chest need some work. but would still be more pronounced if I was leaner. however, I still need MORE size damnit


this is "cold" without a pump (which really gives the best idea of how your holding body fat and water). I'm pretty 'smooth' and soft here.. could easily be a lot leaner. but then again, a lot more size needed too lol

I cant remember what class you are shooting for

[Obs]

forIf you want fuller though I would just bulk bulk bulk

classic physique, under 197 pound class (as with my height I would have to weigh under 197 in order to make weight, which would not be a problem for me at all right now .. just the opposite. I'm 212 when carb loaded. I actually need to be about 220 or so then cut down to the 197 pound class . so I really could use a lot more size).

however, BIG Picture goal , I have no real desire for ever competing regularly. I was just going to do one classic show just for the challenge of getting contest ready and lean. the main goal is just to get as big jacked and lean of a gym rat as I can be.

with the last few years having had 4 surgeries, major injuries, being bed ridden for a year, car accidents, legal problems , etc. etc.. just putting back on some muscle right now is an accomplishment (let alone ever getting on a stage).


I guess I have yet to discover the magic steroid or the secret stack that will get me huge and lean at the same time . ok, I'm off to keep researching for that then I guess. if I find the secret sauce, I'll be sure to let you guys all know about it

[GearHeaded]

forIf you want fuller though I would just bulk bulk bulk

well I need to give your insulin every 2 hour protocol a try if I go for the bulk

Run inject SD w me ! Gains will fucking be had

You could probably do it every 3 hours with novolin R or humulin R.
Honestly have never gone more than two days with it straight. Its damn hard to find the time to constantly eat and shoot 8 times in a day with novolog.

The third day though i woke up feeling like I could tear muscle fibres from a cold flex

Extremely wicked stomach bug going around here in SC. It ranges from sulfur burps, massive bloating, basically pissing out.your @ss, and moderate nausea, then the cycle begins again, which totally wrecks your beneficial gut bacteria. I had to go through a double round of Cipro (which I am very leery of), and began adding in FF plain Chobani yogurt with blueberries or blackberries 2x/day. Lots of Pedialyte, water, and hamburger and rice followed by a symphony of butt trumpets. It's a good 7-12 day ride of nasty.

Personally, with what you have going on now, I would look to the next show instead of the one you have planned now. You want to give it 100%+ and look like that, right?
Eat, kill the lower body and get the upper body back into working condition and build on that.

Conservative approach I know, but that's what I would do in this case. Got to keep yourself in one piece for the biz too....you probably work for a real motherf*cker, right?

If.you were in better shape, I'd say to tell the world to bend over because here it comes, but as it stands...well, it's your call.

Anytime I can help Obs...you know that!!

Edit: I even tried to eat a piece of stuffed pizza to see what would happen. It is well outside my usual food choice, but I needed something to stick...and it didn't.

Not to get too descriptive, but the results of that experiment would have fit through a skeleton keyhole at 5 meters without ever touching the sides of the lock.

It's basically a really brutal stomach bug. I got sent to medical at work because I looked more like hammered shit than normal.

Go for the mini cut. You will never be as big as you want to be. None of us probably will. So I feel like if we are always just trying to be as big as we want to be before we cut then we will never cut. That’s my 2 cents

[fiddlesticks]

You gotta write a post about this it sounds extremely interesting.

[GearHeaded]

ok so far I got

1 vote to bulk
1 vote to cut
1 vote to be conservative and 'slow and steady' approach (I'll consider that as a "re-comp")

so we are tied between bulk, cut, recomp

[GearHeaded]

I think as many members as we have running insulin now (when I first joined here I was a rarity on this topic), we should start an "insulin chronicles" thread. where we all share our current protocols and experiences .

in fact I'll go ahead and start that now

What is that?

[KennyJ]

I'm at 28% body fat and I'm gaining weight on purpose but then again I'm an idiot and have never done anything the conventional way lol. When I'm comfortable with my strength I'll worry about cutting the fat later which is probably recommended by no one

well according to your avi pic, you hold most of your fat in your chest . I wouldn't worry about cutting that out

I’d concur with that. Kenny, don’t want to freak you out, but dude, nice rack.

No one will probably believe it but there's a picture floating around somewhere of me on a bed with 5 naked women and no other men. Many years ago though

Who am I?
How big is this universe?
Can happiness exist without sadness?
What is my true identity?
What's really valuable?
How can my life be meaningful?
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
High carb? Low carb? No carb?
Should I bulk, cut, or recomp?

..... life is one unanswerable question after another.


((FWIW, bulk... Because pancakes are F'ing awesome and most times we have to wear a shirt))
