Due to not planning well for the day I was rushed through my workout today. The good results was my muscles were cooked following the workout, but the bad results was I didnt feel I got in as good of a workout as I could have--I always feel that way when I'm rushed. I'm still lethargic as hell , but my weights increased from last week for the most part. I go back to school tommorow which is good cause its a lot easier to do things down there than it is at home. On a side note watch for my leg press #'s on thursday and compare them to what I've been doing...the difference in what I can do at home and what I can do at skool is f'in ridiculuous!

[NightTrain]

Well today was my first workout back at school, also first on 15mg/day. Workout was awesome today!!! i was very happy w/ my incline bench and was even suprised the shoulder didnt hurt during it...later on during my workout it did but that was expected. Still the only side is being very lethargic. I was swole as shit during the workout today, hands down the most swole ive ever been Cannot wait for deadlifts tommorow!

[number twelve]

nice job today tank!

[LukeNY]

One set of skull crushers? Its better then nothing, your incline barbell looks good, you just gotta fix your damn shoulder

Overall had a good workout. I think it could have been better for a couple reasons...yesterday was my first day back on the eca stack so needless to say i got no sleep (its weird though b/c at the end of my 1st 2weeks I could take a nap right after I took it)..also the way my day worked out was wake up, cardio, eat, class, train...I usually get at least 2 meals inbetween cardio and lifting so I think that negatively affected me a lil bit. My deadlift is still piss poor though I thought a week off would have left me feeling refreshed to do em, but to no avail. Other than that things went well today...weigth is up to 217

[number twelve]

hey bro i know your workin hard. do u think u have gained more strength from sd or from m1t from at this point in each of your cycles?

[UpstateTank]

hey bro i know your workin hard. do u think u have gained more strength from sd or from m1t from at this point in each of your cycles?

its hard to judge which one has been more effective in adding strength...
although my strength hasnt gone up as dramatically as it did w/ the sd im gonna say m1t and heres my reasoning...

I used the sd to kickstart my bulking diet...prior to that I had been cutting for approx 7 months--it was my first "real" diet so naturally when you go from eating 2500cal/day (which was too low to begin with) for 7 months to 4200cal/day (which wound up being a lil too high...lol seems to be a trend right?) strength is gonna jump like a rocket

id bet my bottom dollar if i had kickstarted my bulking diet w/ m1t my weight and strength gains would have been more significant...continuining w/ that if i was now running a sd cycle after an m1t cycle i dont think i would have gained as much strength as i currently am w/ the m1t

sorry for the long reply bro

Had a damn solid workout today. Weights were up from last week which is a good thing, and again was swole as hell! Was rushed towards the end of my workout b/c of a meeting but thats alright I guess. Not feeling as lethargic any more as I've upped the dose of vit C to 9g/day (thanks widow!), but one thing ive definitely noticed-no sex drive Havent even whacked it in a week for gods sake lol. Have started to notice some slight testicular atrophy but other than that all is well!

Had an awesome friggen workout today. Arms were puuuuuuuuuuuuumped!!!!!!! Was extremely happy w/ the #'s i put up today. Kinda just realized I need to work on my bicep peak a lil more so I threw the hammer curls in at the end. Shoulder was a tad bothered during incline closegrip, but i kept it manageable by keeping the motion controlled

[LukeNY]

Holy shit, finally a real arm workout. You keep doing that we might even be able to stop calling you skinny!

Kickass workout today. Aside from eveyrbody and their uncle being at the gym it was fantastic. I was pumped from the 225 incline. Chest was swole as a mother after the incline set. Shoulder bothered me only slightly during incline...I find that if i pinch back my shoulder blades it helps to alievate the pain I've also found that I'm a lot less social now...Didnt even go out this weekend just to say hello to ppl, and I havent been putting up w/ "shit" some ppl give me, even though they're joking. Oh well starting next week I'll be like a girl on her period

[matt50]

haha keep up the good work

hahaha nice. and funny as hell. keep up the good work bro and dont let that injury stop you. mabye if you do lots of rotation movments on your off days from shoulders. like put 10 pound weights in your hands and do the big arm circles once a day, mabye that will help keep it stretched so it doesnt hurt as much while lifting???. prewo stretch on your shoulder day might be a good idea as well.

[LukeNY]

you always act like a girl on her period... hopefully you'll just stop lifting like one

[NightTrain]

keep it up tank..... im in to 1st week of pct and feeling pretty good
