[matt50]

any updates bro?

[Columbus]

Why so much smith work????

[notorious_mem]

i think that was his last week of pct.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Are ya keeping the gains?

Also, just curious, how are the "loads" on PCT?

[UpstateTank]

any updates bro?

yea..i finished up last week strong...kept all my strength gains and my weight is still holding steady at 215

im taking this week off b/c its been a while since ive had a break and more so because school work has been absolutely killing me

Why so much smith work????

cause my right shoulder is reallllly messed up and smith machines are the only thing i can use for my pressing exercises that doesnt take me to the point of intolerable pain

Are ya keeping the gains?

Also, just curious, how are the "loads" on PCT?

yes sir ive been keeping my gains

what do u mean w/ "loads"?

Well, they say on PCT i.e. clomid, is what porn stars use to shoot huge loads.
That seems like the coolest part of a cycle lol....get all muscular then go make a porn movie.

[WidowMaker]

Cycle looks good, Bro.

[UpstateTank]

Cycle looks good, Bro.

thanks bro....seriously cant wait for the M1T cycle

[D-Bo Dre]

I cant believe you have kept "ALL" of your gains.. that's almost un-heard of after PCT! but i guess you've must have done something right, or u got really lucky.. Good luck on the M1T cycle! Make sure you run a progress log as well.

Well I am half irish
I honestly gotta contribute it to my diet...I'm eatin like a goddamn horse still so that has definitely helped out a ton! Oh dont worry I'll be makin a log for the M1T...thanks bro!

[Columbus]

Nice numbers bro...I like your back routine....but I typically go with more sets, do you feel this is the base exercise for mass?

what are lawnmowers?? I'm sure I've prob. done them before.. just never heard the name..

Back is my favorite to train.. Have you ever done this super-set.. (Close grip cable rows followed by close grip pullups??) I almost threw up after 4 sets the other day!! that sh*t is hardcore!

[UpstateTank]

So far this routine has helped me add some mass onto myback....I was like you in the sense I did more sets, but from what I gather (someone correct me if im wrong) volume training isnt the best way to add size...I like to go real heavy/real intense for less sets b/c when i was volume training i just wasnt putting enough size on...This thread helped me adopt some new training methods help, anyone who has used the HIT program also enjoy reading I**MFKR's posts because he is extremely knowledgeable in training methods

I'll try to desribe them better (I'm terrible at descriptions)....Its a very basic exercise...I guess you could call them 1-armed dumbell rows...You know the kind where u have one hand and knee up on the bench and you pulll the dumbell up w/ your free hand? I hope that desc helps...

I've never tried that superset b4....Sometimes Ill do a closegrip reversegrip pulldown and superset that w/ a wide grip behind the head pulldown...I kinda like the sound of yours though...I'll give it a shot on tuesday!

this weasier on your shoulder bro? Mine is KILLING me, and I prob. should take the week off, however I might give this a shot....

[UpstateTank]

this weasier on your shoulder bro? Mine is KILLING me, and I prob. should take the week off, however I might give this a shot....

for me it is...anything that really doesnt incorporate my stabilizers alot is manageable on the pain scale...I took last week off and I have chest today so i'll let you kno how that goes

[Columbus]

the smith has always scared me as I want the BEST effort/mass everytime I workout...however, I am thinking I need a deload and just wodnering if your chest developed on cycle the way you wanted using it vs. barbell and dbell....

How was your diet etc on your week off? Lower carbs? Did you do anything? Cardio? I could use one too!

[UpstateTank]

i feel my chest developed very nicely using the smith machine...Even though you're not using your stablilzers as much, you can load the weight on more so than you would be able to w/ a barbell or dumbell therefore making up for at least some of that difference

my off week...well call it more of a cheat week
My birthday was on monday, had friends come visit on friday so needless to say im looking a lil soft today

[Columbus]

great stuff bro....so from your log, what do you feel was your ebst chest routine? I'll smack it today and report back.....

[UpstateTank]

im sorry i didnt see this post earlier bro...I feel my best chest workout was actually my first week of pct...hope that helps a bit!

[Columbus]

I did it bro...and like I said, i've always felt that the smith was a girly machine.......however, for some reason, my chest seemed much much more pumped after both incline and flat work....shoulder is still bother me, and I felt I was being a pussy, but now i am wonderin if you can get massive using the smith....very weiird.....thoughts?

thanks bro!

[Jay_notellin]

why brand SD did you use?

[UpstateTank]

Anabolic Extreme

[Jay_notellin]

Anabolic Extreme

YEah.....that is the now banned stuff.

I am curious if the unbanned works as well. I assume it does not, but do not know for sure.

[UpstateTank]

No reason it shouldnt work just as well...Its the same exact stuff just under a different label

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

About how much money did u end up spending on yr cycle? for everything i.e. supps, SD, and PCT...

[UpstateTank]

About how much money did u end up spending on yr cycle? for everything i.e. supps, SD, and PCT...

If i remember correctly...
All of my support supps ran around $90
The pct stuff ran around $125 + size-On @ $40
and the sd...i think I paid $35ish (this was back a while though)

so when all was said and done id have to say in the neighborhood of $300

$90 for yr supps? where you buy them at? Cuz right now Im pricing stuff at Vitamin Shoppe, lol, and its not coming out too nice.

I am pretty sure they banned the the compound in anabolic extreme SD. With the new stuff, the chemical compound make up (for lack of a better word) has been altered. Hence, it is not banned.

Not sure what this alteration changes once induced into the body.
