    Just completing the first week of prime, may have to go 3 weeks with it depending on when my "supplements" show up. =)

    Weighing in at 229 and getting fairly lean. Feeling good.

    Strength is different when you are doing reps of 12-15

    Benching only 225 for my work sets of 15, and curling 45lb dumbbells.

    It's a great pump in the gym though even for being natty for the moment.

    How do you have time in gym to do all those body parts in one day on what you call your anabolic blast? Doing that much on Chest, biceps, and forearms would take an insane amount of time.

    Getting as big as humanly possible does take some time in the gym and at the dinner table. It's not uncommon for pro bodybuilders to train twice a day.

    Not sure what your saying or implying here... but I reviewed that and it looks similar to my chest workout.. and I would be hard pressed to fit two other groups in with same intensity... I work one body part per week and train at 0430- 0600/0630 de pending on cardio.... maybe I rest differently...

    Chest - last friday
    warmup at a chest machine.... 3 sets
    Bench -bb
    135 -15
    225- 10
    315 -8
    315 -6-8
    365-4
    275-10
    225- maybe it dep ends.

    Incline DB
    110 -10
    130- 8
    120-8

    Flat - DB
    120-8
    120-6-8
    120-6-8

    incline db flys
    75- 10
    75 -10
    75-10

    cable flys
    1 set of 10 pretty light on this exercise
    push -ups in between til burn out
    1 set of 10
    push -ups in between til burnout
    1 set of 10
    push -ups in between til burnout

    I don't see how I would be able to continue on... this takes me about an hour and some change....

    Not saying the program doesn't work, but I would have to take down the intensity quite a bit to keep going with those other groups... maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

    I weigh 240 at 5 8" and prob about 16% BF right now. Not quite sure what you meant on your response to me, but I train very hard and no one i know considers me small or lightweight.

    I do that chest workout in about 45 minutes. You are lifting slightly heavier but not too much heavier than me at this point.

    It could be the 4 times a week of intense martial arts that helps me recoop pretty fast between sets.

    Also ..again...I work from home so I don't have a time limit....when I have supplements....I'll drink some protein in the gym if I have to.

    Will report my results!

    Chest - last friday
    warmup at a chest machine.... 3 sets
    Bench -bb
    135 -15
    225- 10
    315 -8
    315 -6-8
    365-4
    275-10
    225- maybe it dep ends.

    Incline DB
    110 -10
    130- 8
    120-8

    Flat - DB
    120-8
    120-6-8
    120-6-8

    incline db flys
    75- 10
    75 -10
    75-10

    cable flys
    1 set of 10 pretty light on this exercise
    push -ups in between til burn out
    1 set of 10
    push -ups in between til burnout
    1 set of 10
    push -ups in between til burnout

    I don't see how I would be able to continue on... this takes me about an hour and some change....

    Not saying the program doesn't work, but I would have to take down the intensity quite a bit to keep going with those other groups... maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

    I weigh 240 at 5 8" and prob about 16% BF right now. Not quite sure what you meant on your response to me, but I train very hard and no one i know considers me small or lightweight.
    In no way was I going against what you said. I was only pointing out a fact. That being it takes a of time and effort to make maximum progress.

    Also, do not forget about having to train with less volume (deload) during the blast. You cannot use the higher volume (reload) for more than 4 weeks or burnout will occur.

    In final, you can train with great intensity for around 12 sets per body part. You need some volume to grow! Give it a try and you might get surprised.

    Started the Blast today, on a Thursday and I feel great. Did martial arts at night for cardio.

    Will start my journal over in the cycles section.

    Looking forward to tomorrow or "Hell Day", but the entire weekend of rest will make it all good.

    Just an update:

    I'm starting week 4.

    I'm up 10lbs to 238lbs.

    Strength is going through the roof.

    Everyone is looking at me in the gym.

    Two thumbs up on this system.

    Finishing first DELOAD right now.

    Looking forward to getting back to RELOADING.

    Feel amazing.
