[UpstateTank]

Monday!

PCT Time!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!

haha boooooooooooo

first dosage is tonigth so ill let ya know how it goes

[hardgainer12]

what were the end results?

[UpstateTank]

what were the end results?

Weight went from 191 to 213...22lbs
Don't get excited however...I can guarantee a lof of that weight came from a change in diet as i started the sd when I began my bulking diet

arms went from 15.5" to 16.4" cold (Even hit 17.25" pumped )
forearms: 12.5" to 13"
Quads (my legs are my biggest weakness by far): 22.5" to a smidge less than 24"
Calves (the weakest part of my weak legs ) 14.5" to 15.25"

Strength shot up like a bat outta hell in everything

The only side effects for me were big time lethargy and having somewhat of a short fuse

Hopefully during the next 4 weeks I can at least keep all of these gains if not improve upon them

Im gonna get some pictures taken this week to compare with the beginning ones

*started at 191 not 188

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

You gonna get blood work done after?

did u have it done before by any chance?

25lbs is sweet...lets hope u can keep at least 20 of it.

[l2elapse]

great progresss upstate! hey can i get your before and after weight numbers for your lifts?

[UpstateTank]

great progresss upstate! hey can i get your before and after weight numbers for your lifts?

Yup no problem:
"Smith" Bench
Start 170x5....Finish 210x4

Deadlift
Start 410x1....Finish 415x3

Squat
Start 245x7....Finish 300x6 (Hit high of 315 for 2 today after that set of 300)

Preacher Curls
Start 85x7....Finish 85x11

Closegrip Bench
Start 155x8....Finish 185x7


I dont know if you read if my previous posts or not about the stupid "smith" machine at my school...Its not one with a bar that goes all the way across but rather has the middle cut out of it so its 2 seperate bars 1 for each hand....So the total weight given for that is how much I have in just plates...So each side would be the total divided by 2...(eg 210 bench was 105lbs on each side)

Had an awesome workout today. The walk back to my house suckked cause my legs felt like limp noodles (and of course the walk is uphill) Before I began my cycle I dreaded Thursdays as it always meant legs day...now i look forward to it. They're my biggest weakness by far and goddamit if I dont blitz em week in and week out they always will be. I was even thinking about making Saturday another leg day for me.

Strength hasnt faltered yet so I'm pretty happy about that.

Changed up my armworkout today in comparison to what I had been doing. I simplified it a ton after reading about other peoples success with just plain higher weight/lower rep. Workout was amazing today...pumps were crazy.

It seems like I am more irritable since the start of pct...any thoughts on this?

[notorious_mem]

[UpstateTank]

Since your bulking I suppose.

Did you increase your cals every week? Or just kept them at a steady pace?

Ohhhh man when I got to the gym I was pissed off to shit...Couldnt park my car down by the gym cause of some stupid basketball thing, had to drive back to my townhouse and walk back down. Had to wait a million goddamn minutes for the crosswalk to say "GO" b/c the cops are assholes when it comes to jaywalking here...then when I get there the f'in womens lax team is there!!!! So needless to say I had a lot of pent up aggression and I took it out hardcore on the weights. I was furious the whole damn time and really kicked up the intensity of my lifts 2day. I guess anger can be a good thing!

[UpstateTank]

on a lil side note: for my next cycle i think im gonna hold off on sd/x-mass cause i just found out my friend has an unopened bottle of M1T

[hardgainer12]
