Trying to mate, cheers

Yesterday was Shoulders and felt like a cardio as I'm not used to the higher rep range. All good though

Real happy with working up to 3pps on the Smith machine front press, that's 120kg right there. Got out 3 clean reps and racked it, sweet.

The rest was all side and front raises.

I've skipped cardio 2 days in a row now, just having late nights and sleeping in, my bad. First week I skipped 3 days so its not unlike me

[Android]

Didn't have time to cook my meals for today at work so had to buy each meal.

Spent...$65 today.

Tonight was Chest and Tris.

All the benches were taken so did incline dumbbells. Started on 30kg warmup, then 40kg, then 50kg. Then 62.5kg did 10 reps on my own and was pretty easy. Went upstairs and did heavy Pec Dec sets.

Came back down and caught up with IDW while I was starting some tricep work. He said he'd help spot me on the 67.5kg dumbbells so we set up incline again and I did 5 reps at that weight...LM doesn't have heavier weights.

Went back to cable pushdowns one arm at a time on 1/3 stack....like kickbacks but pulling weight downward not out. Then did 1/4 stack, then 1/5 stack weight.

All good, all done, and left before I could get a sweat on

cheers mate, enjoying myself in the last few days of LM

Tonight was Legs. I wasn't gonna get back into Squats but I've done 3 1hr back massages in the last week and felt ok.

I left wraps and belt in the car not intending to go heavy today.

Started with the bar, was able to squat this easily :-) must be feeling better.

Added a plate each side and did 8 reps each time. Bit higher than the old 5-rep warmups. Got to 4pps and did 2 sets of 5 reps. Didn't want to fail...oh and safety bars were set at correct height this time.

Then did lying leg curls, worked down to the stack weight and did 2 sets got 8 and then 5 out.

Leg Extensions next and worked down to the stack doing 15 rep sets.

That was it. Forgot to do calves was just keen to get out of the overly busy gym. It's way to crowded for my liking now and I know too many people who stop for a chat. Seem to have lost that obscurity I used to have when I was smaller BTS has some big guys which will be good I hope.

Next workout is Back on Saturday or Sunday. I will do what I did with Legs and avoid lower back just for this week.

Nooo!!! Don't go.

I've actually been thinking of putting my membership on hold and going somewhere else for a while as well.. if I can even do that? Sometimes a change is good...

Change can b good mate.

They can only put on hold for 3mths so I had to cancel cos I wanted 6mths hold. Am out of contract so no biggie re-joining later tbh.

This morning I did Back. Started with heavy exercise like I used to, want to keep strength Ive gained.

T-Bar rows wide grip handles, worked up to 7 plates and did 3 reps Hahahaha stoked! Got it on video might post it up sometime, was best effort. Dropped 2 plates to 5 and repped out 6 more, dropped another plate and repped out another 6.

Bent over bar bell rows next and did 1pps then 2pps. Did 3 sets of 8 reps and was a good hard effort for 100kg. Totally different to low reps at 140 single set.

Next was lat pulldowns and HammerStrength machine. Worked up to 3pps then backed off to 2pps and one arm at a time to failure.

Back was pumping up, but then Kathy Millen was around and after seeing her Back I lost my pump lol :pfft:

Lastly seated row machine. The stack, close grip, 3 sets of 12.

[Android]

Today was Shoulders.

Had just brought Sennheiser headphones and an iPhone arm band to help keep me focused and not talking in the gym. Got the headphones that cover your ears, HD449. So fully immersed in my own little world.

Just started GHRP-6 and stopped cardio at 112kg...too small for me :-)

Warmup was side raises using a machine and into seated dumbbell presses. Warmed up with 15kg, then 20kg, then 30kg. Did 3 working setts at 40kg, 8 reps each.

Next rear delts face down on the incline bench one arm at a time, 3 sets using 8kg dumbbells and a 12 rep range. Kept it strict and a steady pace.

Next was front raises with plates. 20kg, then 30kg, then 40kg using x2 20kg plates. Dropped back to 20kg and repped it out until tired.

Lastly, cable side raises but for front delts. Angled the raise of the cable forward of my body by 45 degrees and this moves the stress to front delts with sides assisting. Light weight cos it's awkward with the weight going forward but very effective.

Delts felt pumped.

Post workout did 200mcg GHRP-6 then went shopping for food and simple carbs. Got home starving!

Did 6iu insulin and started eating 5 mins later.

Glass of coke

50gm protein shake WPI

400gms chicken

200gms muesli with milk

Can of low-fat creamed rice

Then 3/4hr later Big Mac combo with fries and coke., and ice-cream.

ahhh ....not likely you behemoth of a mountain :-)

Today was Arms.

Pre-workout was a can of NOS and a 1000mg Paracetamol lemsip.

Preacher curls first on a machine I usually avoid. Has funny angle and arm rest but too busy to pick and choose tonight.

Did a warmup of 20+ reps. Then picked a weight I thought wasn't going to be my working weight...but it was to be. 3 sets and it was good and hard enough for 8-10 reps, each set got harder.

Standing dumbbell hammer curls next and just picked 20kg and worked it in the 8-12 rep range. Did these in a deliberate tensed strict form so couldn't go heavier.

Triceps next and cable push-downs first up. Warmed up on 3/4 stack for 25+ reps, then did working sets using the stack for 15-20 reps. After this I turned around and with back against the rack did 3 more sets with stack weight. This isn't overhead, still a push-down but by bracing the back against the rack you can go heavier (in theory, the stack is the stack :-( at Les Mills)

Next did seated pushdowns at about 3/4 stack weight. Interesting....not. But they were feeling way way pumped up, love that feeling it's like cumming. I came over and over....ok too much Arnold? LOL

Next was cable concentration curls but ended up going 1/4 stack for 6 reps after a 20 rep warmup. I did 4 sets of heavy cable curls.

Lastly, I did some kickbacks on the same cable and felt strong with arms pumped up. Did a 5-rep set at 1/2 stack....kickbacks! Was really hard and there was no squeezing at the end, was just trying to do any reps at all with this weight.

Have gained weight fast. Am on target to reach 120kg by the end of this working week (5 days) from 112kg to 120kg.

Don't know what's next tomorrow will try and join BTS tomorrow and do Chest there after work. Be way cool to rep out a heavy weight on my firsst day there

[Android]

oh forgot, so post-workout stuff here...

Got back to apartment and had 200mcg GHRP-6, prepared a 50gm shake, a can of baked beans, 2 glasses of coke, and 300gms chicken.

15mins later 6iu insulin and then 5 mins later eat all of the above.

Am still hungry an hour later. So got 100gm chicken, a can of low-fat creamed rice, pringles chips, and some fruit ready to eat soon.

[I Declare War]

Holy shit 112kg - 120kg in a week. Man you fill up fast.

How do u rate Paracetamol vs Ibuprofen for combating lactic acid burn?

Holy shit 112kg - 120kg in a week. Man you fill up fast.

How do u rate Paracetamol vs Nurofen for combating lactic acid burn?

Nurofen or Nurofen Plus?

Nurofen Plus has 10mg of Codeine and if you take caffeine you won't feel sleepy and it works the best!

I haven't thought about comparing them, just take whatever is in the cupboard...dunno :doh:

I'm not 120kg yet, it's just a goal, will see how it pans out ay

[I Declare War]

Yea regular Nurofen I meant. I find Paracetamol isn't any good compared to Nurofen. Nurofen Plus is probably better... been ages since I've used that tho. Might have to get me some and try it out, now that I'm doing all this high rep stuff.

Hey man

Reading your journal you said last time you used it for 3 weeks and not great results and wouldn't use again

So why the change of thought this time around?

Do you take it for the sole purpose of increasing appetite?

Would you not get increase in weight from IGF 1 LR3 along with insulin

Keen to hear your thoughts

Fark did I? It always been amazing for increasing appetite but as far as GH response goes, not likely. I mean unless u stack it GHRH forget about GH-like results IMO. Theres research that shows adding GHRh makes it 4 times greater GH response, but on its own...nah.

So I love it for making me hungry enough to eat, and the insulin packs the food into the cells. I've seen 5kg increas in 5 days using insulin alone, I'm going for 8kg gain with both. Will see what happens.

I don't know what IGF 1 R3 is sorry, sounds like a new rotary engine to me ummm besides IGF 1 isn't as easy to get and like GH sold in NZ UG may or may not work.

Insulin and IGF 1 don't go well together so I've picked insulin as my buddy for GHRP-6.

Hope that helps mate, didn't mean to say peptides were off my list, just the use is in reality for Grehlin hormone release, Like all secretagogues.

[whiterhyno]

Cool, thanks for the reply mate

Keep up the training and eating

[Android]

Thought I'd see if I can log the food intake for a day while I try and gain...Oh and just to be fair I've been 120kg before, not as lean but have been there so this isn't 8kg of "new" gains (wow wouldn't that be cool!).

Just don't wanna give that impression, straight up.

ran out of time had things on last night.

Joined BTS yesterday so today am doing Chest at the new gym after work, can't wait Arms and body are feeling stretched which I love.

Legs tomorrow at Les Mills then I reckon they'll pull in more size and I'll be dying to see what the scales say on Friday after 5 days

[Android]

Chest at BTS yesterday.

Got to get used to the equipment and where things are etc but I went early so hardly anyone there. Joined for 3 months.

Bench press, warmed up on 1pps and did 12 reps just concentrating on the bench setup which is important to me, and form like bar travel, and of course breathing.

Then did 2pps for 8 reps, then 3pps for 5 reps, then 160kg for 2 reps. First rep always a pause.

Then did 2 180kg singles without a spotter, touch and go but dubious on the touch if I'm honest,

Then dropped back to 3pps and did 3 sets of 5-6 reps.

Incline bench next and did 1pps set, 2pps set, then got out 4 reps at 120kg and ... that was it!

Don't wanna work up a sweat or nothing.

Didn't weigh myself in BTS as I have Les Mills tonight and will use the same scales as I always have for this week. Walking around BTS I was kinda checking my gains out in the mirror and really happy with what I saw (lots of homo). Still got Legs to train and eating hard out for 2 days after a Leg train can put 2kg on me easily so if I'm 118kg today just over 4 days after being 112kg I'll be a happy little power lifter...

cheers mate!

yesterday was Legs just did or had time for 2 exercises, Squats and SLDL. Once I start training on my own in BTS I will fit alot more into the workout.

Started with the bar and just added a plate per side and I went up to 4pps, no belt or wraps. Did 2 sets of 8 and 6 reps then dropped it back to 3pps and did 2 sets of 10 reps.

Each rep I reset, breathe, crack at the hips.

SLDL started on 60kg then did working sets at 100kg for 8 reps each, slow and steady working the stretch.

Nothing spectacular. Was 118kg yesterday so should get 2 more workouts and a load of feeds in before Sunday's final weigh-in.

No more insulin after this morning just continue with GHRP-6.

[Android]

Arms today at BTS, and no pre-workout :-(

Late night and feeling sleepy all day, felt urge to have a nap and shut my eyes all day.

Nothing to failure, just working heavy in the 6-8 rep range for 3 sets on most things. Want to be stronger not bigger. Ok I want to bigger as well!

Triceps

Did ez-bar skull crushers, 30kg, then 50kg working sets - skull crusher style.

Then close-grip bench 60kg then 100kg working sets.

Then cable pushdowns with flat bar.

Biceps

ez-bar curls, warmed up the weights with 30kg for 10, 40kg for 8, 50kg for 6, then 2 working sets of 60kg for 5 reps. Drop back to 50kg and did 2 more sets at 8 reps each. Felt strong, strict form.

Triceps

cable kickbacks with cable set reasonably high. worked down the stack to 7 plates and it got super hard so cheating to get one arm to straighten. Felt good though. 3 workign sets then droppe dback and repped out 12-15 can't remember and walked away.

Arms were blown up.

Post-workout was 200mcg GHRP-6 and BSc weight gainer (25gms P, 40gms C or something close to that). Big glass of coke, and a chicken and rice meal to chase that down. Will go home for dinner which is another shake, more chicken and baked beans.

Strong eating = strong weight gains bro

Loving the science you are applying behind every meal as opposed to just eating anything and everything.
