Lol! Great theory on your goodies.
 
Lol! Great theory on your goodies.

Lol. I get paranoid. Things that seem totally normal to us are.... in the real world... illegal and highly frowned upon. What is wrong with this world? Lol. Maybe I'm wrong. Nah......:p

25 fasted cardio this am. Weigh-in: 210.6. Folks, I got my little TD. I always go little because my wallet is little. I chip away at my physique in more ways than one, lol.

I will do 100mg of the Proviron in 2 doses ed too, stop the OTC DS (SuperDMZ3 & EpiTren). Still doing T4 and GH first thing in the morning 2 iu and 2 iu pre workout on training evenings.

I am sore as shit this morning. I did something right, or wrong, not sure.... :thinking:. Feel good though!
 
That right there is pillow talk. Love it!!

Yes, it's a good feeling. Haven't been this sore in a while.

25 min. fasted cardio this morning. Weigh-in: 208.6. The drop of carbs from last meal is doing it's duty. Whizfest all throughout the night. 4.4 lbs. down in 3 days. Meal prep last night, dog walk, laundry, no training. Needed a day to recover anyway. Tonight, some chest and shoulders. Work is crazy, gotta get back. :(
 
25 min. fasted cardio this morning. Weigh-in: 208.6. Ate carbs with my last meal last night. Made it to the gym, work ran over so I got there late, didn't get any cardio afterwards but I did get some weights in. Long walk with the doggie too.

Pretty good pump, shoulder is still weak, I am inching along like a snail, but like bar belle quote I saw yesterday: It does not matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. ~ Confucius

Donating blood tonight so no training.
 
Donation in the books. See ya in 8-10 weeks. I mean this shit is necessary. My RBC count is always high when I get pricked. I feel relaxed after donating, I don't know why that is.

I am rethinking my cycling thoughts. Truth is I got some serious PIP from the XXX. I mean it went in smooth as shit but two days later, well it ain't great. I ain't saying nothing bad about anyone. Hell I've had this happen with pharm grade HRT script cyp. It's probably fine. I'll pin it again as soon as I see this little case I have here goes down fine. But beyond that I'm just thinking ok, why keep buying more shit right now when I got a whole damn cabinet full of gear. You can easily make some great gains or fat loss on just some test, good diet and training. So I'm thinking work in test with the XXX. Extend the life of the vial, save some $$$. Might have something gray in hand soon. How contradictory is that. lol. But yeah, just test, GH, a little XXX on a mild basis, and hard work. Eat right and train is really the most important thing.

We are going to dinner tonight with some of my wife's co workers. They are pretty cool. Should be fun.
 
So Friday turned out to be too fun. I got pretty buzzed up and ate everything, lol. Beer is a no-no. I need to stay away. I felt like garbage yesterday.

35min. fasted cardio this morning. Weigh-in: 211.2. Yeah. Feel much better today. So now I am rethinking my training thoughts too somewhat. This split sucks. I mean I'm sure it worked well for Mark Dugdale but the legs after back thing is just not working for me. My low back needs a bigger break in between. So I structured something out of my own head with my goals in mind. I need an f'in chest so that is going to be the core of my efforts. Starting today:

Sunday-Chest, Shoulders
Monday-Legs
Tuesday-off
Wednesday-Chest,Shoulders
Thursday-Back
Friday-Arms
Saturday-off

Yup. I like the looks of that. I usually don't pull out on something this soon but I know my low back. And I know it won't hang with what I'm doing for too long without having a tweak. Not worth it.

So on the subject of gearz. My second pin with the XXX went fine and the large mass that had swelled up from my first shot is pretty much totally cleared now. That is a relief. Just a fluke I suppose. Hit a bad spot or something.

....how was the shoulder with chest work out today:thinking:.....mine got a kink in it 2days ago slowed me down a bit....:wits:

It was better. Heaviest I have went on DBs in a long time and it felt fine, felt good, I mean there is still shit going on in there but it is coming along. I am loving the mind to muscle connection I am getting from having to nurse this injury. I think it is better now than ever. I haven't ever had a great connection with my chest, probably why I don't have one, lol. But I am starting to get one (MM connection) and it shows through the pumps I have been getting. I have totally changed the way I do my exercises for chest. Hope yours feels better quick!

Squeezed in legs last night. Knee and low back been feeling a lil' beat up so I kept it light. 25 min. fasted cardio this morning. Weigh-in: 211.2. No pinning other than GH 4iu yesterday. 100mg Proviron, 37.5 Aromasin. Just been trying to let things simmer down a little. Get this gyno under control. I am very gyno prone. Sucks.

Loved it. Have been eating like a horse. All clean but my appetite is crazy. I need to take a minute and chart it out and see where I am. Maybe tomorrow. I know my calories gotta be up pretty high, well at least for me. Want to start dropping soon and get the fat loss back in gear. Just haven't seemed to be able to quite get back in that groove just yet.

No but really this last trip to the grocery I bought more towards a lower carb approach for some of my meals so we'll see what happens. Should ease into the shift now. Supposed to do back tonight, let's see how the day goes.

I did, and the way the shit just implodes the second the fluid hits it. Good signs. :)

Overall I think, since I have started back on GH, my shoulder has shown more progress than I've seen in a while. Movements are getting easier with less pain, hope it keeps going this direction!

With the holidays coming up I want to shed some fat. I keep flirting with the idea of continuing to gain because I have started to get some strength going, but everytime I look in the mirror I'm like yeah, time to switch gears, lol.

No please always remind cause I am stupid, lol. It don't feel too bad today really. I was free of pain there for a minute. I really should have skipped it yesterday. Dumb of me really. If I stop now and don't hit it again until I am pretty much pain free again, it would be a very smart move.

You didn't, you're totally right. I have been doing really good at backing off when I need to until yesterday, thank God I didn't blow it up. It's just a little sore, I thought it would feel much worse, got lucky.

Car repairs are always a debacle, lol, it's rare you come out feeling as if they did a great job and it went smoothly. Best of luck with that. Your muscles should be well rested when you hit it again.
 
Still I'm feeling a bit unsettled with my training split. I could leg this one out for a while, no prob, but I finally found a Dan Green split today. Most of his stuff is not accessible to the public, well.... someone leaked the basics out. Lol. It would look like this:
Workout 1 - Squat with a secondary movement and accessories
Workout 2 - Pause Bench with a secondary movement and accessories
Workout 3 - Front Squat with lots of accessories
Workout 4 - Pause Bench with a secondary movement and accessories
Workout 5 - Deadlift with a secondary movement and accessories

It's a lot more drawn out but I ain't typing all that. Looks like fun, I'll maybe just have to tone back on the Bench days if I need to. :) Today would be squats anyway so I could jump right in at the top.
 

I thought that too , muscles get a rest lolz ....on my way to get car now slp in toms rivers nj had it there installin a super charger on it .....it killed me to give them my car lolz ...

Seated DB Curls

I held back a bit in spots. Reading through the material I found yesterday it said consistency is the key to the program. Not to overtax in one workout to the point you can't effectively come back and hit it hard again right away. So I tried to tone it back just a bit and see how I react in terms of recovery. Makes total sense to me. I mean I have done it. You just crush it one workout, you're like YEAH I'm getting somewhere, then you're so blasted the next few days your workouts suck because you didn't recover well. I am especially going to have to do this with the upper body work and monitor my shoulder closely.

Pinned .75mL XXX, .25mL Test C, Proviron, 1 cap Super DMX 3, Ralox, Adex 1mg, GH 4iu, T4. Finished off my Intra formula so that will disappear from the diet now. Stay the course, hopefully I'm on track now.
 
30 min. fasted cardio. Weigh-in: 209.2. I am off today! :) I don't know if I mentioned it but starting last week I have went to 4-10 hour days and get Wednesdays off. Like it. Will go to the gym later. Supposed to be DG workout #2, i.e. Chest so we'll see how I feel. May just keep it super light for more healing. I ordered some BPC 157 from BSP. Hoping this stuff along with the GH will help this thing progress a little faster. No training last night, just some rest and laundry, a nice walk with the dog. The woods are beautiful right now. I love Fall.

And then we happened upon this tree...... ummmm..... well... it is what it is, lol.

tree_zps53ae89e4.jpg
 
25 min. fasted cardio this morning. Weigh-in: 210.8. Was able to get the workout in yesterday. My shoulder didn't feel too bad so I got it really warmed up and did just the minimum amount of work to satisfy. Went to massage therapy a couple hours after the workout.

I made some Jasmine rice instead of the usual brown, and it was so good I went to town.... ooops.
