DOUG'S UNITED WE BULK CYCLE

[Doug 64]

Just realized I skipped over the Tuesday Legs A. Im glad it was a Quad focused day because I tweaked my Hammy out of the hole with the prone leg raises! I felt it coming and just had to be that guy and push for one more!
I put .3 of a TB/BPC combo sub-Q right next to it and I do believe I am G2G for the Saturday Legs B.
I'll keep the weight reasonable and may just up the reps.. IDK yet but I reckon I'll see what I see on Sat. Thats all for now, thanks for stopping by.

Just finished check-in with coach... he upped me 30 more Gs of carbs on training days. The new number is 765Gs of carbs! LOL... I'm gonna have to start waking up earlier to eat!
Gotta take the wife to the Doc today, so I'll hit the gym while she has her appointment...Saturday Legs B. This will be a test to see how well the Hammy holds up. I had that issue last week in the lying Legs and tweaked the Right Hammy. Its felt pretty good all week so we'll see what we see today.
I'm gonna post a couple of pics from check-in here. I don't generally do it because I tend to stand crooked and suck at posing in general... so be kind!

Looking solid Doug. Nice work.

how many meals a day are u doing to split your carbs up?

Thats the catch bro... if I'm not working I'll put something down every couple of hours... work is a biotch so its catch as catch can... thats where... "the shake" kicks in. I would say that on average I shoot for 6Xs a day.

And Sunday Cardio is done! Did a nice walk around the reservoir near me for a solid 8,000 steps. I also hit the gym quick to tap out the Calves and ADDuctors from yesterday. I had to bail to pick up the wife and didn't make it back so... I'm posting the Friday Push and Saturday Legs B. I took it easier weight wise yesterday on the hammies due to the tweak earlier in the week. I pushed them with extra reps done concentrically and it felt pretty good.
This getting old shit is for the birds! It seems the body always wants to remind you of your age! I managed to tweak my R wrist doing the standing upright rows on Friday! It's nothing to write home about, but it's just another thing to work with or around... I'm in the game coach, no worries

You sure made some great strides since you started this and would sure motivate others in your age group as well!

Thank you man, its been a journey. I can only hope to lead by example, the people in my field of work are on average 30 years younger and 85% are MORBIDLY obese... just trying to spread some hope.

Morning weight 182.4. I broke down and grabbed a new scale with all the BS biometrics i.e. skeletal muscle mass, BF, BMI, and the like. I like the scale itself but was immediately drawn to the metrics. This scale has me at 17% BF while the other scale had me at around 11%. I never really did legit BF measurements so I really have no idea. Honestly its a nice to know thing, but I wouldn't make any training changes based on it.
I slept kinda poorly last night... MB 6 hours total... not sure why, but I was tossing for sure.
I did get the Monday upper in and it went well. I kept the same weight on a few movements, just to expedite the workout. I didn't go extra light or anything, I just stuck with whatever weight I used for all sets on some movements.
The food is going down and today being a work day, I am struggling to keep up... thank God for the Big Shake!
Thats all for now, pics below

Morning weight 180 flat! I had check-in with coach yesterday and we are continuing the roll! Coach raised me to 800Gs of carbs on training days and 425 on rest days. We also upped the HGH to 6iu/day and will see where that goes!
I got the oil nailed down, I was using a 300mg/ml dose but the carrier oil was not working for me. I went to another brand I had available at 250mg/ml and have been hitting the Quads with little or no effect as far as PIP. It sucks to raise the volume but it is what it is. I feel pretty good all around and I will post the workouts I have pics of later. I got nailed for a earlier shift today and don't know how that will roll. I used to work this shift but jumped off it, because it sucked! Favors go a ways at my job so... I'll suck it up. Pics later.

Well... here's the Thursday Pull anyway. Guess I didn't take pics of the Tuesday Legs A yet.
The workouts did go well, I had to work Tue, so to save some time, I pretty much just chose a weight to work with through all sets. I used closer to what I'd use as a max weight to optimize and I feel it was worthy.
The R wrist had been rough for a week or so, but some BPC and TB subQ around the site helped that out. I also had an elbow thing going on and did the same with the BPC... I'm back to Cables for the lat raises and am being smart with it using reasonable weights.
Reckon thats enough for now. Pic below.

I use them as a baseline, but think they are overall just awful metrics. My scale has me at 30% BF. I did a Dexa scan in November and it came back at 6%, which was just bullshit. I chucked at the tech and ask if it was calibrated. I bought 2 for 1, so I have another but not sure I'm going to waste my time. Wish there was a good way to really measure BF

If you ever really wanted to the most accurate bf%, check a local college grad department that may have hydrostatic weighing. That is the most accurate. All the local pro sports teams use them.

Bro, if you're at 30%, then I'm Jabba the fuckin Hut! Yeah I just find it interesting that there is so much variance between scales and scans. Like coach says... its what the pics show. I feel you though.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not sure what electric currents they claim to shoot in your body and get a result, but I'm shocked someone hasn't tried to do a study on how awful they are.

Maybe just worse with ppl who have above normal muscle mass?

Morning weight 180.4, I was 183.7 at bedtime. I guess thats not too bad a loss between sweating and pooping! Whatever the weight, the pics are looking sharper every time. I'm off today and am hitting the Monday upper in a few. Had a shitty late call last night and took advantage of the sleep opportunity . I will pist the workout later... now onto my other FULL TIME JOB.... EATING 800 Gs of carbs today...
Work pic below GRAPHIC NATURE!

There was actually a whole lot more , that was some of the powder they had thrown to help absorb it
