cheers Rapz, feels good to press 3pps don't it :pfft:

Have been doing alot of incline shrugs etc to give them thickness and try and get them growing further down the middle of my upper back. Probably do normal shrugs every 2 weeks

Today was supposed to be a rest day after 3 days in a row but got things on 2moro so was Arms. Awesome way to start the week off!

Cable pushdowns first off, triceps were sore from site pinning them I had to do about 4 light warmup sets they were that sore. After that they just swolled immediately even tho only had 1.5ml in each side. Worked in some sets of bicep curls and worked down the stack. Ended up doing the whole stack for triceps and for biceps. Nice and strong today.

Did incline alternate dumbbell curls next. Biceps were tight so after 20kg warmup I did working sets with the 25kg ones. Sweet weight for incline curls for me.

Tricep cable kickbacks next and worked down to 1/3 stack weight. No surprises was feeling strong and was pushing out 12 rep sets.

Seated cable bicep curls next and worked down to 3/4 stack weight and did a couple of sets at this. Then drop-setted 3 times back to under 1/2 stack weight.

Lastly, seated tricep pushdowns. Worked down to stack weight for a couple of sets of 12 reps. I could have stayed in the gym for another hour Arms were tight as a drum, strong, and loving the heavy workload.

Pre-workout meal was 3 eggs, some pineapple, a banana, a yoghurt, and a WPI shake.

Breakfast was interesting.

This morning I ate a big bowl of muesli and added oats (I have been having small carb breakfasts this last months) and at work I started feeling too hot, overheating LOL. Bit sensitive to carbs but good to feel the difference food intake and amounts can have on the body. Back to smaller carb breakfasts 2moro.

Good Leg workout today!

Warmed up with Leg Extensions and kept it very light weight, int he 20 rep range I really wanted to warm up the knees, get blood into the legs.

Squats first up, worked up from 1pps and went up as far as 4pps. Was surprised how heavy it felt, I got out 3 sets of 4!

Felt like going heavier to see where my limit was but thought I should just hit the 4 rep range for some sets, increase strength over time and worry about that later.

Then I dropped down to 3pps and did box squats.

Next up was seated Hammy curls. Stayed on 3/4 stack weight and was getting 8-10 reps out. Did 5 sets of these and they all burned my legs.

Seated calf raises next, warmed up with 20 reps at 40kg, then 12 reps at 60kg, then 8 reps at 80kg. Went up to 90kg and did 2 sets of 6. Calves were sore, needed stretching and borderline cramping LOL

Finished off with 2 sets of Leg Extensions with stack weight 20 reps each time, Quads were loving it, they could have done more but I was outta time.

Edit: not taking MGF anymore, stings too much and not worth the anxiety. Not interested in taking PEG-MGF either.

Will come off GH in about 2 weeks and then just remain on my existing AAS cycle

6 days away from the gym

Ok I did drop in on the weekend once for a Chest & Tri workout....anyway over these days I just did a ml of Test-E on...I think it was Friday and Sunday. Was a good break, ate anything including chocolate easter eggs yay!

Back workout today and started with lat pulldowns. Went down to 2/3 stack weight slowly and felt strong muscle contractions. I did warmup of 20 reps light weight and reps just got less as weight went up...Lats hurt with lactic acid on the final 2 sets.

Seated cable row next and worked down quickly just to 1/2 stack but still felling strong. Biceps hurt from pinning 4hrs earlier and the exercises.

Shrug machine and went up from 2pps to 3pps. I need straps my grip was weak today but my traps could have handled more. Did a few working sets nothing too amazing.

Barbell rows next and warmed up on 60kg then did 100kg working sets. Last set dropped after failure to 60kg and repped out 10 more. Arms felt good and Back enjoyed the exercise.

Lastly, a seated row machine. This one is weird where the initial pull is really difficult but then it gets easier. So I worked down to the bottom of the stack and then each rep I let it pull me forward so each pull was difficult from the starting position. I could have just done what everyone else does and lean back and row, but really after that difficult position to try and hit muscle differently.

Biceps blew up quickly today couldn't help it since the pins went in to these just 4hrs earlier.

Site pinning works if you are consistent with it, and even though no bicep curls today the results are the same...large biceps.

No synthol, syntherol or esik-clean, just 1.5ml of gear in each bicep.

Today I pinned the outer bicep haven't done this part in about 18mths so hoping for good things over time. I usually pin the lower and peak and happy with the results so far but of course, want more. Will see what I can do for the outer head.

Last week I pinned triceps and did it blindly. Hit a vein so a little blood comes out under the skin. Then over 2 days this turns darker and gets larger. First time in the 5yrs of taking gear this has ever happened so it's gonna happen. It doesn't hurt when it does, you just kinda know you've hit it....and no I don't aspirate, and I go in deep so gear would have been injected into the muscle not into the vein which sits just under the skin.

Took pics for prosperity reasons....this is a Tricep Extension exercise with cable and rope for bulking up the main tricep muscle and building up the large tricep horseshoe head (the part that hangs down in a front bicep pose).

Just have to drag a bench over to the cable to do this, it's pretty damn stable and effective for me.

My Biceps were killing me since last night...massive DOMS on the lower biceps and tendons from a Back workout after just a week's break and average protein intake. Reminds me of Uni when I would sit in a lecture stretching my Bicep out just to get a few seconds relief before it tightened up again...back then I was on a limited protein intake as well and workouts were always pushed to muscle failure.

Should get better am back to a regular schedule again.

Shoulders was it today.

Smith machine press followed up with supersetting barbell upright rows with behind the neck presses. Going for reps on these

I got some tips on dumbbell side raises which builds on side and rears more so did these with 15kgs until I got form right. Felt good could really feel where it was hitting, as usual the delts were pumping up...sweet!

Lastly, some side raise machine for strictness.

Then core work.

Seated crunches, followed by same again but with lower body twisted to the left then the right. Hits the obliques I suppose...

Hanging leg raises for a 4 sets of 12, then lastly hyper extensions.

Biceps still hurting, will have to do Legs next and give them a break

[Android]

Trained Legs yesterday and avoided anything with a bar that required my arm strength to hold it up there or load plates. Bicep was red as a mofo and swole.

Gone down today the TNE I made was with PEG-400 and is great for inflamation, then all I have to do is pump it up and fill the space with food and muscle.

Started with the old weird squatting machine in LM. No weight to start with just 3 sets of 20 reps. Stopping at 15 reps until Legs stopped shaking, then did another 5. This machine doesn't let your Leg muscle rest from the moment you strap yourself in.

Then I added 40kg weight to it. Was really difficult to get 2 sets of 8 reps out but loved it, so different to the painful high rep warmups.

Then did Hack Squats, did a couple of 2pps warm upd, couple of 3pps could only get 9 reps out, then backed off for 2 more 2pps sets and got out 15 reps. Legs were pumped....I thought.

Walking Lunges, this is where my Legs really pump up, am actually starting to enjoy the lunges and the feeling. I can do 25 steps before I need to stop so did this 4 times for 100 lunges. No weight on my back, and I seem to carry my knee over my toes which puts way more emphasis on the Quads and Teardrop which I totally like. If I had weight on my back though it might be better or safer to drop my rear knee down further and pull front knee back.

By the end of 2nd set I get to 20th step and sometimes have to pause, steady my wobbly legs, and then get going again....funny to watch am sure!

Seated Leg Curls next, and I just worked down the stack. Got to 2 plates from the bottom and thought I can do this, since that last set was a 6-repper sitting forward, gripping the shit out of the handles and ignoring the pain. I had a good rest, set the pin on the bottom of the stack, and got out 8 reps! Fark that really made my day. Stack weight on this is not easy, well for me anyway.

Lastly, seated calf raises and I just started with 2 plates and worked up to 5 plates or 100kg. After that I backed off and did 2 sets with 60kg in the 15-20 rep range. Calves were near cramping from the 100kg I managed 6 reps at that weight, def stronger than last week's effort.

On workout days I'm doing TNE with Tren-A, then on alternate days Bold-C or NPP.

Non-workout days I take just a single 200mg Test.

No method to the protocol just an easy way to help me know what to take and when. This gives me about 2gms per week...

700mg Test

600mg Tren-A

600mg Bold-C

300mg NPP

Am on the last week of GH and then off that, a week later come off the T3 so just be on AAS. Want to see what the GH and T3 is giving me tbh, keen to see the changes if any so I can learn more about the effects. At this point I think I've grown fuller on less food because of it, but until I come off would only be guessing.

Early June plan on cruising 400mg Test before planning next cycle.

Been busy, few changes, here's a piece of gold...

Pinned calves 3 weeks ago, first time and everyone I talked to who had done it, had tried it once and never again.

Im up for my 3rd pinning this week so here's what it's like...

Pinning is easy, it doesn't hurt a bit. I used long esters always on Virgin muscles, so was Test-E, Bold-C and Tren-E. just 1.5ml in each calf.

There's a lot of veins so look carefully. I pinned the diamond on inside of calf.

Straight away calves feel tighter, there isn't much room for anything in this hard tight muscle group.

That day was ok, felt calves with every step but no pain just tightness.

Next day was ok, then as day wore on they started tightening up more. By night time they were sore. I took a Valium to sleep thru the discomfort. Next morning I was semi-crippled. They were so tight I walked funny all day. After a walk they were ok, but then sitting down for working they tighten up again.

4th day still sore and tight, but getting use to bearing with the pain and tightness.

Day 5 was Leg day. They didn't impede the workout they loosened up a bit. Working them was weird but I put full stack weight on them for calf raises and made them hurt again. Temporary pain and not as bad as day 3 and 4.

10 days later, on Leg day I pinned them again. All pain was gone and this time I put in Prop with Tren-E. They tighten up immediately srs there's no room for oil in them :-)

Working them felt great and I killed them literally. Next few days were way way better there was no funny walking. They didn't tighten up as bad as first time.

Spoke to a well-known competitor with massive calves and he pins weekly. Was a good talk with someone who does it not just once and give up but regular.

Will continue with this weekly pinning, over the initial awful experience and not going to give up, b a waste of getting thru all that funny walking lol

ive been wanting to get a bit adventurous with my pinning being a noob. i actually look forward to pinning now.

i did pecs the other day and all went well, i was almost about to do calves but couldnt pick up my balls and do it

good to read some of your insights bro, am gonna try calves soon.

since youve dropped GH and T3 how much of a difference have u noticed? im going to include clen in the next 14 weeks, started dieting today. i was contemplating adding T3 with it, not too sure yet though.

[I Declare War]

Bring on the massive calves

not much change from coming off the GH guess you don't drop size since it doesn't really blow you up and gain size as quickly as AAS.

Coming off the T3 there was no noticeable difference, in the week after stopping GH I jumped up to 50mcg/day of T3 then just stopped. 6 month of T3 supplementation and nothing skipped a beat.

Still got abs, I took a diuretic couple of Fridays ago and woke up Saturday looking pretty good imo. Still get comments on how much I've gained and most think I'm way heavier than I really am....since starting this 6 months ago I've dropped 12kg without even doing any cardio, diet, or exercise change and can see size increase in areas I've worked hard on bringing up.

I would, errr I mean will do it again and I won't compete without taking GH.

Pecs, you are crazy brave! 8)

Adding T3...I would

Clenbuterol is a beta2 selective agonist/antagonist and the beta cell receptors it targets are extremely sensitive and down-regulate quite quickly, hence the need to cycle off after a week or two weeks maximum.

I've always been told that T3 slows the down-regulation so that you don't have to cycle Clenbuterol 2wks on - 2wks off. No proof, no studies, no science, no trail blazing, just following in the steps of others here.

[I Declare War]

Pecs are easy... I'd say 80% of my pins go in there

[Android]

been a while,

haven't updated cycle but it changed, I switched over to Sus and Deca for a few weeks and now back to something else before I head away on holiday.

Happy with gains but unlikely to compete. Been working my back, delts, arms, calves mostly. Legs and Chest of course get worked hard but if I have an extra training day it's on my weaker parts first.

I do less work on shoulders now, was trashing them with alot of exercises and now just do 3 or 4 exercises for a shoulder workout...no more than that and have seen them respond pretty well.

A relaxed back shot last week, finally got some decent lighting in my new house.

Good plan - Back looking thick as - deadlift must be coming along well :grin: .... in on chest train this week if you keen - have been doing singles for last few weeks but need some volume.

[jimmybro1]

Back looks thick and good taper!

:clap:

[Android]

cheers guys

Yeah Opti, this weekend works for me if can do....

[Gym rat]

mean back dude and good V taper as well

[Android]

how time flies

am still around and hitting the gym, eating good food. will try and summarise training and diet in a few paragraphs.

Training

--------

I train 3-4 days in a row then have a rest day. Mostly 3 days then rest. I roughly do 1 body part per week and focus on areas as I think they need it. e.g. Shoulders workout today...I need more rear delts so focus is on them will hit them straight after pressing while they are fresh. As long as I think my rear delts are lagging I will continue this format until I notice another area lagging behind.

Am doing the pyramid up, doing 2 sets at the top and moving to the next exercise. Maximum effort goes into the top set, the 2nd set may be a drop-set but I don't exhaust muscles as much as I used to.

Haven't done the 10 sets of 10 HIT-style training in ages, but do not exclude it for any reason other than change is good. Will no doubt change back in the future.

Diet

----

My meals are varied and tasty and prepared the day or two before.

Roughly....

Breakfast:

200gms muesli and calci-milk, WPI shake

Meal 2:

meat, pumpkin, broccoli

Meal 3:

meat and salad

Meal 4:

meat, pumpkin, broccoli

Pre-workout:

Monster or Mother softdrink (155gms caffeine, 50gms+ sugar)

Post-workout:

WPI shake and glucose

Dinner:

meat, veges, carbs

After dinner/ TV snacks:

fruit like an orange, apple, and grapes.

Supper:

250gms white fish

plus during the day between meals I snack on a range of almonds, apples, banana, raisins, and occasionally Belvita biscuits

Don't know the calories or the macros of the above, it's just a constant supply of fresh food.

On weekends I have time to cook breakfast so it's bagels and a little bacon, jam on toast, scrambled eggs etc. and of course at least one or two nights I eat out at a restaurant or have some form of take-away like fish 'n chips or chinese food.

[jimmybro1]

Doesn't look like you eat many carbohydrates?

[Android]

Doesn't look like you eat many carbohydrates?

Yeah I think I eat less than 3,000 calories now...I should count them one day and see what it actually is.

My goal has always been food timing. Taking the right kind of food at the most opportune time. I have no carbs in 2 of my meals, and high sugar carbs in 2 other meals.

Energy levels are fine, I could eat more but I have gone up to 112kg from 108kg in the last 4 weeks and with visible abs look like this...

[M.T]

Dang mate straight up Beast 8)

[Optimass]

Looks like you have leaned out a bit mate - gaining weight and maintaining abs good indicator your meal timings working. Am do this as well - was unintentional - just a very comfortable way to eat around training to make sure I have just enough fuel to get through the workout and recover.

China not far away now - will talk to the gypsie and organise a meal or something before you go. kids were a bit busy last weekend :?

[I Declare War]

HGH appears to be legit.
