My wonderful and somewhat curious Test Enanthate log

[HeadForTheHills]

Man, things are going well.

DAY 18 : PIN #6

WORKOUT SESSION : BACK

Deadlifts
20kg bar x one million billion (warmup)
60kg x 12 (warmup) (132 pounds)
90kg x 10 (198 pounds)
95kg x 8 (209 pounds)
100kg x 8 (220 pounds)
Personal comment: There we go, the 100kg mark! Seems I've been crossing the mark in several exercises this week. Slowly built up this session today because of my weak back, but it feels good now. Next week, 100 all the way.

Pulldowns
66kg x 10 (145.5 pounds)
66kg x 10 (145.5 pounds)
66kg x 10 (145.5 pounds)
Personal comment: Level up here as well! Increased weights here last week too, so this is definately going the right way.

Rows, tight grip
74kg x 8 (163 pounds)
74kg x 8 (163 pounds)
Personal comment: Level up!

Dumbbell rows
30kg x 10 (66 pounds)
30kg x 10 (66 pounds)
Personal comment: Level up here as well. This felt kinda easy, I should increase weights next week too.

Back extentions
5kg x 10
without weights x 10
Personal comment: This exercise still gives me amazing pumps, even without using weights. Good stuff.

How I feel: I feel great, really enjoing how I am increasing in strength alot these days. Not sure if it's the test or just me having steady gains.
Anxiety level: Definately going away! This is my greatest victory yet. I might put up a seperate thread with a poll for what music genre I should use for making a tune, to celebrate me conquering my greatest fears, and give it to the users of this forum. Stay tuned.
Diet: My problem the latest few days has been forgetting to bring my pre-made food to work. I am dealing with it by going to the store and grabbing what I need for the day, but it just costs me alot money. Need to get better at this.

Other: I am having some questions about how this works. I don't really feel much different, I am not having increased sexual drive, no sides, no serious strength increases... not much of anything. Now, I have read that I shouldn't expect too much yet, next week is week 4 since I started on the Test Enanthate, and it probably takes a while. Still, you know, having questions. I'll wait until next week before I start checking what's up. It's not like I am doing it wrong I feel. I am not injecting test into my cat or anything, it's right up there in my right cheek. Pow.

[SamBuca]

Good posts. Have you thought about something to help with your anxiety?

[HeadForTheHills]

Good posts. Have you thought about something to help with your anxiety?

It's been a struggle since I was just a kid, this insane fear of needles, totally without logic. It was pretty unimaginable for me to start taking test injections, but figured it would be pretty good for me to finally deal with it. I never before consider any medication for it, since the easiest way out was to simply avoid injections. Now it seems like my plan is working.

It's a great situation for me alltogether

[GFA]

This is quite possibly the best log I have ever read haha. Fantastic writing man. The side stories are great

Did you get your AI for your cycle? Any signs of gyno yet? You are closing in on 3 weeks at pretty high doses. Think you have anxiety now, imagine how bad it will be if you have bitch tits.

Also what about starting/end pics for the cycle?

Have Letro on hand if anything arises, but no gyno has appeared, nor any issues with zits or any nasty sides I could expect, YET anyways. No AI for the cycle, and trying to get Nolva for PCT (i know i should have gotten this before the cycle, but I was inexperienced and was told by my link i didn't "need it". Working on it.) The anxiety has been limited to having injections only, and I have had it since I was very young. Seems to be sorted now with these two pins a week though! Wheeeeeee!

I have a start-photo, was gonna hold on to it until I take my end pic. I got a colleague to take it while me being naked, he freaked out, but I assured him I would allow him to live if he just did as I told him. I have also placed a black censor box on my ding dong. So don't worry, none of you will need to see it. Ever.

I am experiencing some huuuge strength increase these days though. It's amazing. Gonna write about it in my next post (workout session log).

Now, after doing my 42.5kg with no spotter I decided to go for 45kg ... put on wrong weights, felt it was a bit heavy now, and after doing my max 7 realized id was 50kg???

How I feel: Normal, healthy. Alot more hungry than before. Sleeping like a baby.
Anxiety level: No changes, hoping it's gone for good, forever. We'll see on Monday when it's my next pin.
Diet: Still keep forgetting my pre-made meals at home, it's getting too expensive, this can't go on - next week I need to pull myself together and bring my meals! Also I want to change it up a bit, I hate chicken so much now. Fish and turkey next week it is!

Other: This week I have been experiencing huuuuge strength increases. I am really looking forward to finding out just how far this will go week to week now. BWAAAAGGH is talking about changing the workout to another plan starting next week. Not sure where he's going with it, but as always I'll just tag along as he knows more about it than I do. I am not experiencing any sides yet, which pleases me alot. Feel good about my efforts so far, and I am considering making a musical piece to post on this forum, under the name HeadForTheHills. Put up a poll in the AR part of this forum for people to vote on a genre, but people don't seem to care, so I'll just sample some workout videos and make a random tune and post it soon anyways. People don't realize there are people in this world who pays alot of money for me making stuff like that. Hah!

As always,
HEAD FOR THE HILLS!

[shutup]

Great strength gains mate, just out of curiosity how many calories are you eating each day? (Sorry if u have posted it). I enjoy reading your posts, keep it up

[GFA]

Hey HFTH,

Can you put what week you are on in your posts so we dont have to go back to the first page to figure it out?

Enjoying the log.

How is your weight? Are you gaining steadily?

[HeadForTheHills]

Today we changed the program a bit. I don't know what it's called, but it's like we lift 10-12 easy reps, then 10-12 medium heavy ones, and the last set is 6-8 or to fail. Also, shorter breaks between, and we try to push fast up and 3 seconds to lower. It was kind of fun, so I'm gonna name this routine the Happy Time routine. I like Happy Time. It makes me happy.

@GFA you are right, so I will from now on!

DAY 22 / WEEK 4 / PIN #7

WORKOUT SESSION : CHEST AND BICEPS

I actually don't have all the numbers today, it's in BWAAAAGGH's book, so I'll have to fill it in a bit later. Still, i'd like to write a bit about a few things I do remember.

1) Decline bench press. I did a set of 75kg today, that's a 5kg increase from last week straight bench. I am strong like superman! I am pretty sure that's how much superman would lift. 75kg. At LEAST.
2) Switched to concentration curls. Felt really heavy, but at the same time got a huge pump. Must be good then!
3) Got a good set on the incline bench press with hand weights. Got good pump in my manly chest, and I feel a great strength increase.

I also figured out I need to start weighing in. I haven't until now, but will start soon.
I'll post soon again with the numbers, and maybe some stories. Maybe some stories from show business. Always fun.

HEAD FOR THE HILLS!

[HeadForTheHills]

I'm in pain.

DAY 23 / WEEK 4

WORKOUT SESSION : LEGS

Squats
60kg x 15
90kg x 10
95kg x 8
100kg x 8
Personal comment: Moving to the 100kg thingy. Feeling stronger than before, hoping to do an all 100kg set next week.

Leg press
230kg x 10
250kg x 10
Personal comment: Was going for 3 sets here and to increase to 270kg (last week I was at 230kg max) but felt some pain in my thigh and decided to stop here. No worries.

Leg extentions
100kg x 10
100kg x 10
Personal comment: 100kg is what I managed to move up to last week, and wanted to do two sets on 100kg and then move to 110kg (which is max on the machine!), but suddenly I got a TERRIBLE headache and muscle spasm. I'll write more below.

THE PAIN

At this point I had to stop working out. In the end of my leg extention set I got a terrible pain in my neck and head. I've had this before, a long time ago, and it's so damn painful it's hard to do anything. I am pretty sure it's tension headache, it puts me out of business for the rest of the day, and I have to take painkillers. Bummed me out alot since I was on good weight gains today, and have been all week long. My problem is that now I am sitting here with agonizing pain in my neck and head, and at the same time I am getting pain in my right forearm, something I got when doing arm curls last week. I really don't need to get several different issues with my body at this time, as I'm moving in on week 4 and I am just starting to experience very good strength gains. If the pain stays I will have to consider taking a few days off from the gym and make sure I heal properly. You guys know the feel, nobody wants that in the middle of a cycle.
Allthough, at the same time it is important to not get permanent damage. Aah i feel like shit. Fff**** my life.

How I feel: I am in pain.
Anxiety level: Zero! Victory!
Diet: I am having real issues with the diet. It's simply very difficult to push down the amount of food required. I don't know how you guys do it. I hate food so much at this point, and I need to find some other way - or at least some modified diet, which enables me to take in as much protein and carbs needed to grow like a motherffff****er.

Other: Not much more. I am in pain. My wife is being moody as hell. I've had better days.
Tomorrow is rest day, so hopefully I'm better to thursday (back day).

[Brohim]

Bro you need to take an AI of some sort. Letro is very powerful so most guys take L-dex or Exemstene. You are now in your 4th week and your body will start converting that test to estrogen. You don't want a high Estrogen level it will affect your Libido and cause you to hold more water and get a moon face. Estrogen is also 200x more supressive that Test. You might ask guys who uses Letro on what dose to take. I would start with .25mgs every other day.

I like electronic music. If you can post a youtube video of one of your favorites. Although I am sure it is much more of an experience in a night club setting.

I guess you're right, my problem is that nobody seems to agree on what is best dosage if I am to use Letro as AI while on cycle, not if I want to use it on PCT. People throw all sorts of numbers at me, some people say they use it with great success, others say it's too strong and you shouldn't touch it with a golden pitchfork. I am already experiencing a bit of water retention, but I sort of expected it, so no big deal there, allthough not using any AI while on the cycle does worry me, and as soon as I get good numbers on the Letro I will start using it now. Are you sure the .25mgs eod isn't too much / too little while on cycle?

About the music, I'll post this tune I am working on soon, under the name Head For The Hills, which will contain samples of people talking weights. I am sure you'll find it fun

[HeadForTheHills]

This is not going well.

DAY 25 / WEEK 4 / PIN #8

TODAYS WORKOUT SESSION : ME FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF, FOLLOWED BY SOME CARDIO

Was gonna be back day, but I still have insane tension headaches and neck pain from tuesday. Also, my right forearm is in pain as well. I felt it coming back hard as soon as I started lifting today, and backed off. What BWAAAAGGH did when he got shoulder pain was to keep on training, and he is in his third or so month with great pain. I don't want to go there, and hopefully I will be back in business next week if I take it easy today and tomorrow, followed by a relaxing weekend. I decided to take a good half hour on the treadmill so I at least did something useful of my time. Got my sweat on, and at the same time felt the same lower back pump which I have been experiencing alot lately. I get it by walking up the street for christ sakes. Is this normal?

> Please respond.

Dbol can cause lower back pumps. Are you taking any of that? Because if you are you definately need the Letro. You can take Taurine pills throughout the day for back pumps. 4-5 grams should work.



And what doseage is your Letro? 2.5mg pills? Or do you have the liquid?

[HeadForTheHills]

I don't take dbol, i do have it but decided to go safe. This might just be me having done good back workout, I won't dwell on it too much for now

And what doseage is your Letro? 2.5mg pills? Or do you have the liquid?

2.5mg pills.
Still trying to consider wether or not to start taking some Letro while on the cycle or not. I don't really see any sides, not yet anyways.

[G502]

Love you crazy stories and keep it up man, also you got pics?

[mirin_serratus]

Sorry but if you're deadlifting 200lbs and not sure about your form then you should not be juicing. seriously tho it's like you've only been lifting for 6 months go learn to lift properly first

[HeadForTheHills]

Thanx, but it's been a while since i have questioned my form. I am not overdoing my back lifting as I have a history with bad back. It's getting better with all this working out thing people are talking about though!

[thex95]

ya this sounds like a typical post you would make. Your so opinionated about what everyone else is doing yet you clearly have no idea. Your "diet" is eat as much as possible, things like pizza, BRUTAL. You need to sort yourself out before giving advice to others.

so bulking is just eating like shit? Good job bro your killing it, especially at 15% bodyfat.

orry to the OP about this on your thread, this is gonna be my last comment with regards to this.

[HeadForTheHills]

New week, new everything.
And also, storytime.

But first things first!

60kg x 12 (132 pounds)
75kg x 8 (165 pounds)
75kg x 8 (165 pounds)
Personal comment: 75kg is a new record. I checked my old logs from August when I started lifting every day, and I was at 40 then. This means I am almost at double from August. This makes me happy indeed!

Inclide bench, hand weights
22.5kg x 12 (50 pounds)
30kg x 8 (66 pounds)
30kg x 8 (66 pounds)
Personal comment: Increased a bit since last week. Felt heavy, but gave me a decent pump.

15kg x 8 (33 pounds)

ez curls
30kg x 10 (66 pounds)
30kg x 10 (66 pounds)
Personal comment: Also here I am restricted by the pain in my right forearm. Got a swelling there now as well, but I am told that's a sign it's healing. No idea what it is, but it's certain arm positions which are painful.

STORYTIME : HOW I DIDN'T GET ANY SLEEP LAST NIGHT - AND HOW MY PENIS WAS TO BLAME

I do think I promised never to write about my penis in a previous post, but this is actual fact, and it did happen. Also, I am a sharing caring guy, and you get the honest truth from me any day of the week. Like today monday!
Now, don't expect this to be a sex story - allthough I really wish it was. It's not me getting jiggy with the wifey, not being able to sleep because my masculinity got the better of me and I got it on all night. God, why wasn't that the case.

Anyways, I went to bed rather early, as I wanted to be awake and energetic this morning for my pin and workout. I love mondays, as chest and biceps are some of my favorite things to train. About 5 minutes after I laid down in my comfy bed, my boy decided to get up. And not only did he get up, he went up STRONG. Wifey was fast asleep already, and as she was gonna get up really early I didn't want to wake her up. Or, I wanted to wake her up, but .. you know what I mean. It looked kinda silly from my point of view, looking down towards my feet, and there it was - a tower of great splendor, lifting up the sheets like it was the gods themselves lifting up the skies. That's how I felt it anyways. At the time I didn't think much about it - like hey, the guy was up, ready for anything. But it just wasn't the right time, and I turned to the side to sleep it out. Mr Penis would have none of it. The flex he decided to give me was of such strength, it would remind me of the pump I get when I get a good workout.
I'll make a long story short. 9 hours later, I was still up, and so was big guy down there. I was super tired, and actually a bit angry with a part of my own body. Thanx for the timing, bro!
I got up, he didn't get down still, and I realized if I went to the gym like that, it would be a bit too obvious - you know, with the pants being loose and all, it would be a bit too visible. I am not sure if BWAAAAGGH would like me to spot on him on the bench. Not like that. God no.
Solution? PRE WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS. Two scoops of jack3d, bam - down you go buddy!

And that's the conclusion of my story.
I wonder of the test did this? Didn't happen before.

As always,
HEAD FOR THE HILLS!

[chadstud]

Lol so the jacked made you limp? Why not just go to the bathroom and take care of that thing lol

[HeadForTheHills]

Lol so the jacked made you limp? Why not just go to the bathroom and take care of that thing lol

Jack3d kills my shit 100% for a few hours, no doubt!
haha I can't believe you just suggested that! To me it was two birds with one stone. I work out in the mornings before I go to the office. Pre-workout tug-out is not my thing!

[HeadForTheHills]

DAY 30 / WEEK 5

WORKOUT SESSION : LEGS

Squats
70kg x 12
100kg x 8
100kg x 8
Personal comment: No real increase here. I feel like it's not going anywhere now, but will force in some extra plates next week I think. This is no holiday!

Leg extentions
79kg x 15
79kg x 15
Personal comment: I have been at 100kg here for a few weeks. However, last week this is where I got my neck pains, as I tensed up my entire body as I was trying to lift extra weight. I have been bothered with it since, and now just trying to avoid getting it back. If I push it now, I feel it coming back, so I am taking this one easy for a while. Took off about 20 kg today and instead did slow lifts. Got a good pump so at least I'm maintaining.

Leg curls
59kg x 10
59kg x 10
Personal comment: Same as the last few weeks. Next week I can increase.

Leg presses
220kg x 10
230kg x 8
240kg x 8
Personal comment: A slight increase in weights here, but totally failed at the last set when I was trying to close the security thingy. Almost died a bit by having 240 kg pushed through my legs and into my body. Nice!

Sitting calf raises
25kg x 20
50kg x 10
50kg x 10
Personal comment: Wow, haven't done these in a while! I should though, not really doing calf any other place. I'll go to 60 or 70 next week and find out how much weight I can lift. These usually gave me cramps at night. Looking forward to waking up in agony. Yes.

How I feel: Healthy, normal, with a major increase in libido.
Anxiety level: As this one now is sorted, I won't even bother to include it from now. It's a major victory for me to have this dealt with.
Diet: I am finding it hard to eat as much food as I wanted to. I feel it increasingly necessary to drink protein shakes to get enough of proteins. The 6 meals a day thing is ****ing hard...

Other: My brave little soldier is totally giving me a hard time (pun intended). Jesus christ, you guys weren't joking. It's not always practical, you know! haaah

A CONVERSATION WITH MY BOSS

So, there I was, at the office, doing my job like there was no tomorrow. People at the office are by now very used to watching me go back and forth to the kitchen filling up shakes with CELL-TECH or protein powder. The best joke they have come up with at this point is something along the lines of "sooo... whats the street value of this powder of yours? LOL!"
I usually just laugh along, not because I find it too funny, at least not the 10th time or so I hear it, but to keep people in a good mood about my workout focus now. So anyways, here comes my boss, watch me drink some shakes, and the conversation went something like this:

Boss: Soooo... how's the steroid thing going?
Me: .... steroids?
Boss: Yes! Steroids! haha look at all that white powder, you must be FULL of steroids now!
(I realize he is making jokes, and I am filled with relief. Nobody wants their boss to know, it might stir up conflict. I try to joke along with him, but it comes out a bit wrong.)
Me: haha yes! Steroids! Boy do I love them!
Boss: Yeah haha it would be perfect for you, steroids, [waiving his hands in the air, then pretending he is me, making up his voice] 'ooo look at me, big and strong, give me some drugs!' "
Me: Raaaaarh! haha! Yes, give me some testosterone enanthate! ...
Boss: haha! What?
Me: Raaaarhhh! Give me some dbol!
Boss: ...
Me: ...
Boss: ... Yeah, so...
Me: Good talk.

I need to be more careful.

Bahahahaha, classic my man. I have chat's like this with the boss all the time (not about steroids), just random weird chats that accomplish absolutely nothing.

[chadstud]

Lmao.. Lil bit specific

[HeadForTheHills]

So, I didn't log thursday (back day) or friday (shoulder / triceps day), because I had my neck and head pain which really held me back. I decided to take some careful days, not go all the way with the weights, and just maintain. I've increased in all exercises every week, and found I could do with a couple of days like this to make sure my injuries went away. While I am not sure it's gone, I am not feeling it all the time anymore, and only on a few specific exercises. So, today I was back in business.

DAY 36 / WEEK 6 / PIN #10

WORKOUT SESSION : CHEST AND BICEPS

Decline bench press

Incline bench press, hand weights
22.5kg x 12
30kg x 6
27.5kg x 8
Personal comment: Last week I was at 30 both working sets ... had a hard time making it today, I am blaming the huge increase on the decline bench, I might have tired myself out a bit. I certainly hope so at least.

Personal comment: Here too, increased weights. Awesome.

Armcurls
I was out of time at this point and had to hurry up - forced out a quick set of light weights without relaxing after the concentration curls. Should try to plan the time better next week as I don't want to lose this one.

Storytime?
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS ROLLERCOASTER WORKS

So, this is my first cycle. It's also my friend BWAAAAGGH's first cycle. We don't have the experience, but we are certainly trying our best to do as much research as possible so we do it right. We didn't know what to expect, but lots of stories told of floating on rainbows, riding unicorns, and walking around like aggressive sex machines. Sounded good to me! However, not all that happened, and because of expectations, we felt the stuff didn't work, maybe we got duds, maybe we did something wrong. As we are experiencing major strength increases, and the fact my face looks like a balloon right now, we are slowly realizing it's the real deal. Shit is going down.
Oh, and about my swollen face. I am experiencing some water retention, and guessing it's a side I should do something about. Like I have written before, at the moment we only have Letro at hand, and we can't get many people to agree on how to use it mid-cycle. There is one suggestion in this thread, but again I want to ask you guys reading this thread, what would a good dosage Letro be mid-cycle to counter aroma sides? Got the pills version.

Now that I got that out of the way, I am happy to see that we will indeed get proper PCT delivered to us next week. We will get Nolva and HCG.
HAH!!! Did you realize HCG is made from WOMAN URINE? Maybe you knew, but I didn't! Piss from girls!
That's what I am gonna inject into myself. I wonder if I should gargle it first.

You know, to make it all official.

Letro @ .25mg eod would be good to start with.. If you can't break the pills this small, .5mg e3d should be ok as well.this should take care of the bloat and puffyness
Adjust as needed..

Common Signs:
Low estrogen - lack of libido, ED, joints ache, feel more lethargic/tired than usual
High estrogen - bloat, puffy/sore/tender nips

[jasc]

interesting log by the way.. been following since the beginning

one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read

love the story time

would love to hear that mix you were talkin about posting as well

[HeadForTheHills]

Thanx alot @jasc !

Also, forgot to say: We got some packs of Anavar and we wanna start taking it at the end of the cycle. Because we can.
Pack says: Anavar (20mg) Oxandrolone 10mg. What does this mean? Should I concider one pill as 10mg ? Also, on this cycle, when would it be appropriate to take the Anavar? I see some people overlap, some before end of last pin and some after. Please advice! At the moment planning 2 weeks before last pin, 2 weeks after.
It's DAMN expensive by the way!

@jasc yeah I have some face bloat, and nips are tender. Guessing for high estrogen then. Gonna try the magical Letro trick, starting with .25mg eod to start off easy. Thanx for that.

[jasc]

No prob man

can't help much on the Anavar, haven't taken it myself
From what I've seen, most people take around 60mg/day

Not sure on the 20/10mg discrepancy.. doesn't make much sense . Hopefully someone with experience will chime in

[jasc]

I messaged one of the real knowledgeable members here hopefully he'll drop in and be able to help

Personal comment: Wooah why hello there big gains! How I missed you! Last week I maxed on 225, now I can add 50kg? Bam. Thats whats UP!

Leg curls

68kg x 8
Personal comment: 54 was max last week, so I wanted to add an extra 7kg ... but my friend pranked me with an extra plate of 7kg.. to a total of 14kg more. Oh you joker! Anyways, good thing, since I did manage, and will go with this next week too.

Leg extentions
93kg x 8
100kg x 8
Personal comment: No gains here in two weeks due to my neck injury which I got while doing this exact exercise. I am not gonna push it. My neck feels better now, so maybe I can add some weight later.

How I feel: Healthy, normal. Pain in my right forearm, recovering from neck and head pains.
Diet: Have been studying alot lately how nutrition works on the body (also the videos in the sticky threads on this forum) and I need to adjust my diet a bit. Will work it out according to what I am able to take in.

Other: My friends, who took orals as well as enanthate, have some insane strength increases. They are now gonna add to that as well, and are ordering more orals. Good thing for me is that it will secure me PCT so I have it on hand to after this cycle. I have this anavar, and as I have planned this to be a test e only cycle, I am concidering to finish off with anavar. Read a few posts back in regards to this. Also, I am concidering to take some Letro for the rest of my cycle.

[jasc]

Well looks like the help fell flat..

Now that your 6 weeks in, you should have an idea of how your body handles the test. Keep up the letro but don't take too much, it's incredibly strong.

If you wanna run the Anavar I don't see a problem with it. However, I would run it the last weeks of cycle not pct. While not very supressive, anavar is still mildly suppressive and the last thing you want during pct is something making it even harder to recover. Plus during the first week or 2 of pct you want to take it easy, shorter/lighter workouts. Your test levels are very low at this point and overworking can easily turn catabolic.

60mg/day of Anavar is standard so it may be a good place to start n increase if you feel you need to. It is also very mildly hepa-toxic, so it does not stress the liver to the extent of most other orals. Because of this many people run it longer, some 8 weeks +. Anavar also has very little aromatization, so you will not need to increase your letro to accomodate this anabolic.

Hope this helps. As I said, I have not taken this but have spent countless hours reasearching it to prepare for future use. Ideally a first cycle should be only 1 compound, but after you get all of your test side effects under control, I don't see any harm in using the var.

best of luck n let us know how it goes

[HeadForTheHills]

Thanx alot @jasc, you are being very helpful!

So far I am not really seeing any sides other than water retention (which varies from day to day) and tender nips. Nothing bad though!
We'll see what my link comes up with, and I'll decide. My friend wants us to increase the test e cycle to 12 weeks. I always thought that seemed a bit long though, at least for a first cycle. Add the var to it and you got another few weeks I guess.
I am not sure about that one.

[Ffm]

Head for the hills I must commend you on the impressive amount of detail you put into yours posts shows your passion

[HeadForTheHills]

Why thank you @Ffm ! Makes me glad to see people are enjoying my posts.

Personal comment: This is the exercise I have had the fastest gains on since I started out. 50kg is way beyond the kids department in the weight rack and I had to use the squat bar with plates on to get this done. Mad!

Front raise, plate
15kg x 10
15kg x 10
Personal comment: No increase here. Problem is that the plates jump from 15 to 20, and 20 is a bit much still. I might go for it next week anyways.

30kg x 12 / 7kg x 10
30kg x 12 / 7kg x 10
30kg x 12 / 7kg x 10
Personal comment: Same as before I reckon, but getting a decent burn here. Doing the side raises with the 7kg hand weights straight after the upright rows, and its paaaainful!

Shrugs, bar first and then a plate in each hand
70kg x 10 / 15 x 10
70kg x 10 / 15 x 10
Personal comment: Never had much of a neck before, I see it sneaking in. Great stuff.

Personal comment: WOW great increases! A few weeks back I was at 20kg max!

How I feel: Normal, healthy
Diet: Still working on it. Not happy about what I manage to eat, so need to compensate with shakes alot.

Other: Have a huuuge show coming up next weekend. Feeling really good these days and I am sure it will show on my performance. Really looking forward to it!

I still can't get over the fact that HCG is extract from pregnant woman piss.

[HeadForTheHills]

Another week, more gains!

DAY 43 / WEEK 7

WORKOUT SESSION : LEGS

None of my group showed up for training this morning. Their loss in one way, but also sucks for me - as I always try to lift more than I think I can handle, and I need someone to make sure I don't collapse like an old accordion. This means that in certain exercises I hold back a bit.

Squats
70kg x 15
110kg x 8
110kg x 8
110kg x 8
Personal comment: Last week I had one set at 120kg. Doing all sets at 110kg is something I feel good about, but since it's max of what I can lift, I didn't go as low as I should have. I feel I need a spotter for this one.

Leg press
280kg x 10
300kg x 8
300kg x 8
300kg x 8
Personal comment: Increased 25kg here since last week! In fact, this must be like 80kg more than I lifted just a few weeks ago. It's like my legs don't care - bring it on, gravity!

Leg extentions
100kg x 10
100kg x 8
100kg x 8
Personal comment: Last time I tried 100kg here I got neck problems with head pain included. After that I took it easy for a while, went down 20kg, and slowly built it back up. Now at 100kg again, no problems what-so-ever. Feels great! Not many plates left on the machine. Wonder what to do when I get there?

Leg curls
68kg x 8
68kg x 8
Personal comment: Heavy stuff. Did one set like this last week, now two sets without much effort. Feeling strong!

Overall, great strength gains. Have had some strength gains every single week during this cycle so far. Will be exciting to see how far it goes towards the end of the cycle.

How I feel: Normal, healthy. Less pain in my right forearm today, no more neckpain. Always appreciate days without injury!
Diet: Same as ever, hard to get enough food down. Really need to compensate with protein shakes.
Other: Will leave the country this weekend for a huge show. Need to take my back session tomorrow and then there won't be any sessions until next week. Food is no problem where I will be going, but obviously I won't get my pin on thursday or monday. Changing the pins so I get one tomorrow evening (close enough) and tuesday again (also close enough). Then back to the normal pattern of mondays and thursdays.

[HeadForTheHills]

This sunday, I switched it up a bit.

DAY 41 / WEEK 7 / PIN #12

WORKOUT SESSION - THE WHOLE DAMN BODY

As I went for a mid-cycle picture session this day, I did a total workout session - chest, arms, legs. Was a good one. Not gonna list the weights as I did lower weights than normal at a 12-15 repetition set. Got a decent pump.
Wasn't too happy with the photos as I have alot of water retention, and still some fat stacked on after all this bulking business. After I start cutting, which will be in two weeks time, with the addition of anavar probably, I'll get new pics taken too.
After the cycle I'll show both before cycle, mid cycle, and after pics.

How I feel: Normal, healthy
Diet: Not good enough, eating right, but not enough. Hard to get all the food down.
Other: Got a hard lump in my buttcheek after this pin. Guess it's an absess in there somewhere. Last time I got it it went away after about a week, so I'll just do the left cheek for a while.
