Time to grow

Get Shredded!
12/27-1/2/22
Last week of rest days. Unfortunately my blood work did not improve enough so it was another few days of rest with just basic exercise like going on short walks and enjoying this “great” New England weather. The VA docs want me to have blood work once every 3 months now. They are letting me return to weight training 3-4 days a week starting Monday fortunately. I’ve upped my water intake to 2 gallons as well as cut my protein down to 300grams to see if it eases up on my kidneys any. I appreciate every one following along still. Hopefully these rest days help my recover and Monday i can get back in and crush some legs after resting through the holidays.
 
1/3 Leg day

Lying leg curl
(3 tough sets of 8 last set tack on 15 partials)
145x8
155x8(3)

(My legs were absolutely pumped to the max after
these too exercises. I’m sure the rest and the added food from the holidays definitely helped out a bunch haha)

Db Stiff leg deadlifts

65x12

Note:
Took a week off from bb squats feels good sometimes to crush some legs without Barbell squats. I do wish however my gym had some better options like a quality hack squat or squat press. Legs are definitely growing i think i need to start focusing more on hamstrings though i feel like they are starting to lag. Still holding strong at 270.9 pounds as of this morning though.

Notes: assuming kidneys come back functioning properly i can go up to 4 days of lifting per week again. I’ve been using those extra days off to do some home shopping. Finally in the market for a house, of course when the market is still absolutely insane. Along with the blood work though assuming it all goes well DHB will be increasing to 600 mags per week from 450mgs. Definitely interested to see what 6 ccs a week does. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

unexpected rest day unfortunately BUT blood work came back clear from the Docs and I’m
Back to being able to workout 4-5 times a week now while slowly increasing my protein intake back up. Also started taking some bromelian from vitamin shop twice a day to help break down protein. Also officially 2 months into my cycle! Did some more house shopping today because well why not haha.

I definitely noticed I’m far more hungry a lot faster since i started the bromelian. Even eating red meat i used to stay feeling full. Now 25-30 minutes later I’m starving again

Rest Day

Definitely very much needed after that leg day. I will say between the increase in DHB (200mg x3 per week) abs the inj anadrol I’m feeling VERY strong. Definitely noticed I’m sweating a lot more though since i increased the DHB. Absolutely loving this DHB though, if you are thinking about running it i 100% recommend it. You’re definitely missing out if you aren’t

1/16 Rest/Fat Kid Day

As per usual it’s Sunday so my activity levels are minimal and my eating is maximal. Started off with a big ass breakfast of pancakes, French toast, eggs, home fries, 2 muffins, bacon, sausage, and corn beef hash. Then lunch was two 5 guys burgers with all the fixings besides Mayo and cheese with a regular fry. Don’t worry i had a Diet Coke too! Dinner was sonic drive up 3 (1 footlong) hotdogs, 2 double bacon burgers, 2 orders of tater tots, and a medium half assed sonic “blizzard” with Reese’s PB cups.

I used to love posing man! It’s underrated how hard posing is. I’m definitely struggling to hold poses for 10-15 seconds. I paid like $85 for that thing haha. I need to do another show to get my moneys worth from it. I ordered it from one of those custom posing trunk companies

Man you're a beast, the outer quad sweep is popping nicely, and you got your posing on point.

That sword looks sick going in and out of the flesh.
We are definitely the same age, cuz I have some tribal myself 😂🤣
Finish that sleeve, tie it all in.. :twothumbs:

Thank you brotha! That sword tattoo was a last minute thing i couldn’t be happier with how it came out. Around the belly button was horrendous though man. You’ve got to love the tribal, that was one of my first tattoos at 18 years old ! That’s my next goal to finish that sleeve after years and years of putting it off.
