    Thank ya sir. I took a lot of inspiration from guys like Jamie Lewis, Jessie Norris and Dan Green to keep at this path. They are by no means “bodybuilder huge” and look very different from people who focus on symmetry with their training, but are fucking ridiculous in a whole different way.
    Dan is largely credited as being one of the first to make the world realize that you don’t have to be a fat piece of shit to be absurdly strong. Really though, I think Kirk Karwoski was the original “jacked as fuck while posting absurd totals” poster child.

    Thats the largest I have seen him

    Everyone shit a brick about eddie hall deading 1100 @ 400lbs

    What about what callier did at just over 200?

    That is lb for lb the most impressive thing I have seen in the world of lifting.

    Yeah, Cailer is fucking nuts. I’ve been watching him since he was a 181 and steadily growing. Dude reminds me of Ed Coan in the way he’s grown in a short period of time, and my god that deadlift.

    I slid a lumbar watching it. Its weird how size does not equate to strength.
    The bigger you get its like the added mass does less and less.

    I would like to see callier try the keg toss the strongmen do. He would probably mop that shit up too just because he is faster moving.

    He was doing sets of BOR with 475lb If I recall correctly. Thats wild.

    My girlfriend is fucking amazing. She knows that I’m running a bulking cycle and that I always end up hating food before it’s halfway over.
    Her solutions are my Christmas presents:

    Deadlift: 1x135/5x160/5x205/5x250/5x295/5x340/5x385/3x10x245/2x5x245
    DB Incline Bench: 6x15x65s
    CS Rows: 5x15x65s
    Time: 43:31

    High volume deads are definitely not cycle friendly, regardless of weight, apparently. Fuck it, I’ll see what happens after the initial dbol dosage goes down.

    Back Squat: 1x135/5x185/5x225/5x265/5x315/5x350/5x390/5x10x265
    Dips: 6x15x35
    Pullups: 5x10x35
    Time: 51:31

    Cutting the dbol back to 25/day a couple of week early. Getting big fast, but it’s annihilating my work capacity.

    Bench Press: 1x45/5x115/5x140/5x165/5x190/5x215/5x240/5x10x165
    DB Squat: 6x15x100
    DB SLDL: 5x10x100s
    Time: 41:15

    Better, but still not acceptable.

    Picked up the old program where I left off. Smoked the old amrap and left some in the tank.

    Also, scaling in at 205 naked morning weight right now.
    Adding in 240 mast/week to add a little anabolism in the face of cutting the dbol to 25/day, and also interested to see if it slows the smoothing a bit.
    Feeling fantastic, much stronger, slightly fluffy.

    Greatly appreciated.

    Yeah, it feels absolutely fantastic. Yeah, things hurt from time to time, but a lot less severe and less frequent than when I was fat and sedentary.

    Haha, if they’re noticing, they’re not telling. Lifting heavy shit fixes a lot of things, but ugly isn’t one of them.

    Deadlift:
    1x135/225/275/9x5x315/16x315
    Wide Stance Box Squats: 5x3x225
    5 rep Myo Scap Pullups: 23/3x5
    8 rep Myo Reverse Hyper: 25/3x8
    Ab wheel: 5x-18/10/10/9/5
    4 rep Myo Forearm Ext: 45x13/2x4
    5 rep Myo Forearm Curl: 85x15/2x5

    Could have pulled a couple more on the last set, but the upper glute pump was getting out of hand.

    They made me feel like I was dying by rep 12, but I’ve learned to tell my brain to stop being a pussy. It’s usually the upper glute pump that finally ends my set.

    Not quite the same improvement as bench, but I’ll take it. Especially considering how little pressing I’ve done in recent months.

    Wide Stance Box Squats: 5x3x275

    Weighted ab: 4x90-12/9/7/5
    5 rep Myo HS Pullover-180x13/1x5/1x4

    Everyone: “Ease into hook grip just doing your warmups with it for a while.”
    Me: “Nope.”

    Pretty sure my thumbs will be useless for a week.

    I started experimenting with hook grip and I truly suck at it....

    my hook grip gives out after 485 but my over/under has gone over 600.

    I gotta be doing something wrong....

    Make sure to chalk the living hell out of your thumbs, including the backside where you’re pinching them.

    Bloods scheduled for this Friday, end of week six. Time to find out how my system is handling this gram-o-gear. Performance is definitely up, and I certainly feel better after halving the Dianabol and adding Masteron.

    Thank you sir. Probably finally going to test myself in a meet this summer when I’m running my test/tren/mast/adrol cycle.

    I haven’t the slightest clue where my top end really is right now.

    Deadlift: 1x135/225/5x255/3x305/1x365/10+x385-13 completed (+15 TM)
    Wide Stance Box Squats: 5x3x275
    8 rep Myo Reverse Hyper: 32/3x8
    5 rep Myo Upright Row: 65x24/4x5

    Not quite what I wanted, but close enough for the time being. Ready for the 1RM check/deload week coming up.

    just trying to decipher this lingo....
    10+x385-13 completed is an amrap at 385 where you got 13?
    +15 TM means what?

    are they dead stop reps or touch and go?
