The squat rack was very busy so did my shrugs on the smith machine. Overall, a good workout. My volume will be at an all time high, for these two cycles, this week. I haven't heard anything from my source, for the test e, so it looks like I would do another PP cycle. This time, I going to run it differently. Maybe 30mg ED for 2 weeks and then go into PCT. My best gains are always the first two weeks and by upping the dosage, my results will start improving again. I wasn't that impressed with my second cycle so I'll try to up the dose and reduce the length of the cycle.

I have a little more to post before my log is finished. It's a very effective tool for monitoring my progress.

I'm happy for you. I have been watching your posts, waiting for this day. Congrats! Have patience because it has been a while since your where able to workout.

Are you going to do a log, for your Phera Plex cycle? I would like to see one and I would post in it on a consistent basis. It's a great way to get advice from others. Sometimes we can't see what we are missing, ourselves, but our fellow members can see the flaws.

I took some big jumps in weight on High Rows and EZ Bar Curls. It paid off on the High Rows but I only got 5 reps with the curls. Oh well, next week I will get the six reps I am looking for. It has been a good week of working out. I will be looking to increase my workout volume on my max effort days, next week. After I get the necessary volume in, I need to get back into my martial arts conditioning. I have put it on hold too long.

Good volume for this workout. Added leg extensions to the mix. My legs are a big weak point so I really pay close attention to detail on these workouts. Everything went according to plan except for the Behind-the-Back Shrugs. Plateaued on them so I added some rest-pause reps to try to kick start my progress again. I really like this exercise and it has really improved my trap development. That finished off week one of my "natural month".

Decline Presses 275(3)/275(3)/275(3)/275(3)
Dumbbell Presses 95(6)/95(6)/95(6)

EZ Bar Reverse Curls EZ+50(5)/EZ+50(5)/EZ+50(5)

Plateaued on decline pressses so they will be replaced next week. I only went to flat db presses because there were no adjustable benches available. Next week will be back to the incline. I brought my grip closer and brought my trunk to about 45 degrees for the bent-over rows. I just don't like the parallel to ground version. Otherwise, the workout went very well but elbows out extensions were difficult so I might need to make a modification there. Added reverse curls to this day to increase workout volume.
Last night, my new roommate (19 year girl) through a party and I had a difficult time sleeping because of all the noise. I don't know how good my workout will be today because of lack of sleep.

Romanian Deadlifts 185(5)/185(5)/185(5)/185(5)

Seated Leg Presses 190(5)/210(5)/230(5)

I had to change quite a few of the exercises because the gym was so busy today. Not a big deal because I had a very good workout. Added seated leg presses to add more volume to my tuesday workout. The only exercise that was difficult was seated calf raises and it wasn't part of my planned workout (due to heavy gym traffic). I got two pimples on my face so I wonder if this means my test has increased from the arimidex doses? Looking forward to having today off.

Very good workout. There were no benches available so I could not do seated dumbbell presses so I went to the hammer strength machine and did shoulder presses there. Nice shoulder press machine. I can not wait until all of these college zits go back to school and the gym is not so crowded. Despite not having access to a lot of equipment, I have managed to get in some good workouts lately. I'm considering methoxy tst and trenadrol (spelling) for my next cycle.

Barbell Reverse Lunges 115(6)/115(6)/115(6)
Seated Leg Curls 115(6)/115(6)/115(6)
Hack Squat Calf Raises 100(6)/100(6)/100(6)

Hack Squats 100(6)/100(6)/100(6)
MTS Leg Extension 60(6)/60(6)/60(6)

A really good week of workouts (when considering the added volume). I kind of wish that I had found out about trenadrol (spelling) earlier because I would have run it after my first Phera Plex cycle. Trenadrol, I think, would have helped me get a little leaner (along with the clenbuterol, of course).
All of my hard work really paid off because my brother and I went to Noah's Ark Water Park, in Wisconsin Dells, on Saturday. In Wisconsin, you don't have very many months were you can go with shirt off for the whole day. My brother works out, as well, but I think there were just a couple others (based on the physiques on most people there). It is amazing how out-of-shape most people are in the US.

Unilateral Seated Cuban Presses 30(5)/30(5)/30(5)
EZ Reverse Curls EZ+55(5)/EZ+55(5)/EZ+55(5)

I was very weak on bench press today. I don't know if it was from going to the Noah's Ark Waterpark and walking all of those stairs and not getting in a lot of calories or what. I guess I will have to wait until next week to find out for sure. Looking for some variety in my training so I training alternating on db triceps extensions and doing unilateral training on cuban presses. When you do unilateral training, you are very strong because there is no bilateral deficit occuring. Very weak but I was glad to gut the workout out. The gym is just so crowded that it makes it very difficult to follow a structured workout plan.

Glute Machine 150(5)/150(5)/150(6)
Seated Leg Press 250(5)/250(5)/250(5)

Next week, I need to concentrate on not letting the barbell drift too far away from my shins on the Romanian Deadlifts. I noticed this was starting to happen. When it happens, it places a very large stabilizing load on the lower back. This makes it more difficult to maintain a neutral position. Over at anabolic-review.com, they are saying that Trenadrol does not produce the results that people originally thought. I was interested in this product. Does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks.

I have been very weak this week. Not getting enough calories in on my Wisconsin Dells vacation has killed me. I've dropped almost eight pounds. My strength has suffered, accordingly. I thought I would be able to my appetite back up but that hasn't been the case. It has been very hard to force the necessary calories down. I'm glad I only have one more week to go before my next cycle. I need to get that appetite back up.

MTS Leg Extension 70(6)/75(6)/80(6)

Not a bad leg workout, considering how the rest of the week went. Got tired of having less than a 45 on each side for the reverse lunge so I went with the 45's. A little heavy but I get my reps in, in the coming weeks. Heading up north to spend the weekend at my grandmother's lake. I'll have to wait my caloric intake a little closer this weekend so I don't have a repeat of next weekend. Well, most say hold off on the Trenadrol so I might go with a third Phera Plex cycle. Time will tell.

Very good workout. My strength levels were back up. I must have done a better job with my caloric intake this weekend (when compared to the weekend before that). I have been researching, at anabolic-review, and am still undecided with what cycle I will run next. I think Phera Plex has done all it can for me. I would need to stack it with something to see gains again. I might stop by the supplement store this weekend and see what they got. I usually buy off the internet but I not sure what do this time.

Seated Leg Press 270(5)/270(5)/270(5)

Had to miss Tuesday's workout because my gym was closed for the fourth of July. Normally, today is a rest day (Wednesday). The difficult part will be having three workouts in a row without a rest day in there. My workouts on Thursday and Friday may suffer a little bit as a result. I will be running to my old supplement store on Saturday. I haven't been there in such a long time because I have been buying off the net. It is called the Natural High (West Allis, Wisconsin) and used to be nat high . com on the net (it has a new address now).

Hammer Strength Seated Preacher Curl 80(6)/80(6)/80(6)
Alternating Seated Cuban Presses 30(5)/30(5)/30(5)

Overhead DB Triceps Ext., MTS High Rows, Seated DB Shoulder Presses, and Alt. Seated Cuban Presses were very challenging to struggle through. I hoping that is a product of not having that rest day inbetween my Tuesday and Thursday workouts. I will give these exercises one more week before I replace them. Today, Friday, is my last day of my natural month. I could start a new cycle on Saturday. I'm thinking of maybe going with Hyperdrol because my soon-to-be wife wants to try to have a child, after we get married. If I'm running a cycle, I know that we will not be successful.

Last day of my natural month. I have decided to not do another Phera Plex Cycle or Trenadrol/Methoxy TST Cycle. I weighed myself and I am at 209lbs. So I have not lost any of the weight that I have gained from my Phera Plex cycles. My soon-to-be wife wants to try for a child, within a few months so I am not doing another cycle for that reason.

I will be running Arginine, Zinc, Vitamin C, Coenzyme, Fish Oil, L-carnitine, Selenium, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, DHEA as a substitute for Tribulus, Ginseng, and Clomid for a month, in hopes of ensuring success in our efforts.
