JROKK SD Log

[JROKK26]

I've been keeping a log in a notebook for a while now. I hope by
starting one here I can help someone else as all the info from other
logs has helped me (Tanks SD log was very helpful). Also all the feed
back has been great, thanks nsa and Manpretty for your help and advise
in putting this together.
So this is what I've set up....

Methyl Vol (same compound as SD w/Nitric Oxide and liver support supps
20mg 4 weeks (may bump to 30mg last two weeks ***ending on how I feel)

Support Supp. (not including what's in the Methyl Vol)
Red Yeast Rice 1200 mg
Silymarin (milk thistle extract) 1600 mg
NAC 1200 mg
Hawthorn Berry 1550 mg
Saw Palmetto 300 mg
Policosonol 20 mg
Celery Seed Extract 150 mg
Nettle Root 250 mg
Idebenone 100 mg
Niacin Flush Free 1000 mg
ALA 200mg

PCT
.25mg LiquiDex(AR-R), Myogenx 6 caps ed, and Clen 4weeks

I had been cutting for about a month w/clen got down to 198lbs from
209lbs and got sick 2 weeks ago w/a nasty stomach bug couldn't hold
down any food for about 4 or 5 days went down to 190lbs which sucked. I have
been consistent for about 6 months lifting 4 to 5 days a week without
any time off so I decided to take last week off and do nothing but a.m.
cardio 6 straight days and got my diet back on track after being sick.
I've notice a loss in strength over the last month, so I hope this
cycle helps me retain size and strength while cutting BF.

Goal is to be 200lbs 11-12% BF and get about 30lbs to 40lbs strength
increase across the board after 8 weeks 4cycle/4PCT

Current Stats:
30 years young
5'11
194lbs
~14% BF

Tomorrow H.I.T. cardio (cycling) I’ll hit a little bi’s, tri’s, and abs before with about 20g BCAA too. 5 days in so far so good

[mg316]

Has the NO been helping with the lethargy?

[JROKK26]

You know straight leg deads are for hamstrings.

Yea, usually don't do them at all but the weight was so light just felt like doing a quick set and tried to focus more on lower back, good looking out though.

[JROKK26]

I feel like a Fat ass
Sat. 3/31 AM
Did about 20min of various ab routines, H.I. cardio cycling class for an 1 hour. I was going out of town and had all kinds a sh*t going on Sat. only had time for a pre-wo shake and pwo shake both with protein, oats and banana. But that was it till about 5PM Was in Orlando for the night went to this awesome steak house, Texas de Brazil.... had the best salad and all kinds of different cuts of steak and pork
had about 4 beers and 1 shot of patron that night I know, I was trying to be good too....a slice of pizza and a steak and cheese sub last night. I haven't cheated like that in a while... today I'm feeling gluity as F**K and ready to kill it in the gym this week. I think I'll do 3 AM cardio sessions, pwo cardio every day, and Sat. do H.I. cardio cycling again. I'll lower my carb intake a little this week as well. I did double my supps on Sat. and Sun though hope that helped a little
Today Chest /tri's PWO cardio 30min.

I should be able to do more on the Deads but the damn if I can grip the fvcking bar once I get to 225lbs+ it sucks. I've tried straps but I don't think I'm using them correctly, what's the trick? I do have a all round good feeling, recovery has been real good this week too, not really swore just enough the next day to feel like I work though, no bad sides, feel like strength is coming back to where it was about a month ago. Going to bump to 30mg for the last 2 weeks. I missed AM cardio today, so I'm going to do the H.I. cycling class for an hour tonight. AM cardio tomorrow and legs at about 5:30

[Schmidty]

good log so far

[number twelve]

im surprised you havent seen any gains yet. it was probably a bad idea to drink that time u did. i wouldnt cut down the carbs, i took my sd with carbs and i think it made a big differance.

Yea, it was pretty stupid to have a couple drinks not doing it again until end of PCT when I go to the Keys on my fishing trip. I just felt like a fat ass after my Sunday cheat binge so I've kept carbs to pwo oats only the last few days and upped the protein. I'll bring the carbs back up over the next few days, just wanted to shock the system. Haven't weighed my self yet, do that on friday but I'm noticing a lot more vascular and tighter muscle. Strength did go up on all my back excerises yesterday, so I'm back to where I was before I started cutting about 1.5 months ago. I'm thinking about adding another chest day on Friday with shoulders

12, do you have a trick with deads, when the weight get too heavy to hold? do you use straps or am I just not strong enough yet? I feel like I could do more just have to drop the bar before it slips out of my hands

[mg316]

when you do dead lifts try changing your grip to your weak hand (palm) facing you, and your strong hand (palm) facing away from you. You should be able to handle more weight if you try this grip for deadlifting.

[number twelve]

i dont use straps until im over 3 plates, then i change from a regular grip to an alternating grip and use straps. also when i do heavy shrugs i use regular grip and dont use straps until over 3 plates.
hope it helps good luck bro

[JROKK26]

Thanks for the feed back bros, I'll try an alternating grip next week and see if that helps. Skipped AM cardio again today legs are a little tight after H.I. Cycling class yesterday we use a lot of resistance in this class and it kick my ass... went to sleep at like 10 last night. I've noticed over the last week that I'm sleeping really well at night and having some cool, vivid dreams. But not lethargic during the day at all, just feel really good so far. I'll hit legs tonight, not swore just a little tight so I should be able to loosen up by 5. I'll post results latter... ready to kill legs

WOW that was an awesome freakin workout. I'm going to need a partner cause I think I could have done more weight on squats and presses if I had a spot. All these lifts are bests when I was bulking a few months ago so I'm about to be breaking all time bests next couple weeks if this is how it is. I know this is not much weight compared to some of you guys but hell yea Also I took a HydroxyCut Hardcore that a buddy gave me, I know alot of you guys around here hate it but that shit was pretty fvckin good. My weight is up 2lbs to 196 and I'm cutting with a lot of cardio. I think it's kickin in alright

Got a full weekend with the kids and family so got a lot of work around the house ahead, so went to knock it out this morning felt good but was short on time. Hit it quick got-r done in about 35-40min. Increased all lifts again with hardly any rest in between.

[JROKK26]

Also, I killed legs yesterday and was sure I would be swore today....a little tight but I wouldn't say I was swore at all. Recovery has been great this week. I might say better than when I did my test-e cycle. Has everybody else experienced this too. It's freakin great

[Shane35aa]

I tried cutting carbs a few days in a row last time to MM. I got so damn tired felt like a sloth, upped them and energy came back. It made a big difference it seemed in my gains also.

[JROKK26]

Yea, I've upped them the last couple days back to about 125g-150g a day. Monday did no carbs that might have been what hurt my lifts too, Tuesday 50g pwo, Wed. 50g A.M. and 50g pwo. Now I'm back to normal. Sunday Easter dinner will be my cheat meal but it won't be that bad.

Awesome workout again Incline BB went up 20lbs and did 2 sets of 6 at 225lbs.... Flat DB at 100lbs now, so endurance has now gone up too. All round still feeling good. Recovery is great not really swore at all today and I killed it yesterday, as I did all last week and never got swore. The gains and pumps are freakin great in just 2 weeks. I did bump to 30mg yesterday and will continue this dose to the end....but I don't want it to end.
