This is Training routine that will be leading up until my next cycle. I will change this up once I start my cycle.

I will be Squatting every day. It is a Bulgarian training method that I have tweaked some. This will start next week. I will add a other exercises each day as well.

Work up this morning sore. But I'm still going go in a squat.

I will force this body to adapt to imposed demands I will be placing on it. My body will change and I will become a better me and a stronger me.

I will start this off by saying that this is pretty tough. I will force my body to adapt to this. By next week I should be in full swing. I couldn't bench. I was spent. The squats were tough today with weight that is easy. It wasn't that I couldn't move the weight it was my body being fatigue from the heavy session yesterday. My CNS(Central Nervous System) was just shot. I was able to complete the workout. I had to adjust the weight. I also decided to bump up to 200mgs/week on test cyp. My Trt script.

Tuesday:

Squat:
135 1x10
225 2x5
315 1x3
385 1x3
405 5x5 these were grinders
315 1x20

I will try to hit bench tomorrow. Tomorrow will be more volume less weight. Most likely with safety squat bar.
 
What is your goal? Powerlifting? Bodybuilding? Something else entirely?
 
Right now I want to build a bit more strength. So that when I start my cycle I can focus on more volume and hypertrophy with weights I couldn't normally get. This is an experiment for me. I've seen that my legs grow with more frequency. Squats twice a week they grew some squats three times they grew much more. Now I want to see once I get my body passed the initial shock phase how it will adapt and grow. I will try to do bench today after squsts. I couldn't yesterday I was just fried from Monday and even my squsts were literally shaky. I believe I will strengthen my CNS through this experiment. It's hard getting myself motivated to get to the gym. Like that noob that has just stsrted. That 1st week sucks no energy. But as time progresses the energy comes.

Are you going to post up before and after pics of your quads? I am curious how this plan will do in growing quads.

Lighting is bad. I'll try to get some a few hours from now when they are cold

Today's squat everyday routine.

135 1x10
225 1x5
315 1x5
365 1x5 this is where it stsrted to suck. My max is over 500. So this was just silly lol.
405 1x3 the struggle was real
455 goal was 3 reps I failed on first rep

I backed off and dropped to 315

315 3x20

Time to eat. Got some filet mignon 2 6 oz filets , baked sweet potato's asparagus and 1/2 cup of fruit. Can't wait to start my cycle. As soon as I get back from my honeymoon it starts.

Both quads are at 26inches. This is only day three. I'm not sitting at 212 pounds.

Looks like you have a pretty good start. Thick quads. My quads are 26 inches, but they look like emaciated sticks. You must be shorter than me.
 
Get Shredded!
I've read in a book about gladiator training and the diet they used. Mostly meat and cheese. The method they used at the end was what caught my attention the most. At the end of every workout a dead calf was placed on the shoulders and they would squat until failure.
 
I know this high rep thing is not what you were posting about, but that is an impressive number of reps with that weight. I bet your lungs felt like they were going to burst.
You have no idea how my lungs felt. I thought I was going to die. I had to drop the weight to get anything out of the workout. I feel like I'm recovered pretty well today. The real heavy day combined with overload workout suck the life out of me.

Today will be box squat speed work with 20lbs of chains on each side. Tomorrow I will attempt to work over 100% of my 1 rep max.

Just curious how tall you are for 26 inch quads to look so thick?
I'm 5'10" but I say I'm 5'11" I usually can get away with it in person. Lol
Going for a physical tomorrow so I'll give exact measurements on my height.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
 
To my knowledge you measure right around the groin area. Just below that about an inch. I'll get my exact measurements tomorrow. Maybe I'm not as tall as I think I am. But your quads look good. Do you do heavy squats. My legs get great stimulation from heavy squats and frequency.

Damn it. This shit is killing me. 315 feels like 500. And I seemed to have tweaked something in my left glute. WTF!! Really a glute injury. Lol. Working through it. That shit isn't going to stop me.

Today's workout:
Speed box squat with 20lbs of chains on each side. Box is just below parallel.

135 1x10
225 2x5
275 1x3

Working sets 9x3 no more than 30 seconds rest between sets.

9x3 315 with 20lbs of chains on each side.

Bench
135 1x10
225 2x5
315 1x3
365 1x3
315 5x5

Tomorrow will great. Neuromuscular theraoy followed by cryotherapy then a sports massage and stretching. Then I'll head over to the chiropractor to get an adjustment. All this will be after I squat.

I am only 6 feet. You must have measured at a narrower point on the leg. My quads look like skeletal remains compared to the meat on your leg. Here is my log where I brought them up from 25 to 26 . . .

Ok just got done with my doc. We have decided to add clomid to my trt. Since I'm shut down and the wife and I are trying for our last child. This is funny.

Height: 5'9" and three quartersI thought I was 5'10" so I always bump it up to 5'11"

Weight: 220lbs I'm pretty sure I was 214-215 on Monday. I have been on a maintenance for the most part. Definitely not in surplus

Blood pressure: 110/74

Got labs done I should have them Monday or Tuesday.

Today's workout: I felt much better today. Body seems to be adapting now.

Squats:
135 1x10
225 2x5
315 1x5
385 1x5
405 5x5
315 1x20

I got the volume I was shooting for this week and the heavy lifting in. This routine is usually 10-14 sessions a week. Calls for 2 a days. I'm only doing 5-6 sessions. So I have to get my strength training and volume in the days I do go in. The weight gain could be from my legs. I haven't measured them since Wednesday I believe, but they feel fuller. Week 1 in the books.

But your quads look good.
LOL! You are a funny guy, but I am working on them.

Do you do heavy squats. My legs get great stimulation from heavy squats and frequency.
Good question. I do them "heavy" for me, which, having seen what you do, would be laughable to you. When I was younger and on my second cycle ever I squatted 315 around 15 times or so. That is the strongest I have ever been on squats. I am trying to get back there now (but at 49 it is a little tougher, I am discovering).

I am very interested to see how your high frequency workout affects your legs, so I will be following the thread closely. Please make sure to keep the thread updated, especially with your progress.

Will do. Definitely felt more energetic and stronger today than previous day's except for Monday when I started fresh. To me heavy is relative to the individual. I will definitely keep this updated. Thanks for following. Post the link to your log so I can follow.
