Test E Cycle Log

[Luigi]

LOL, That is the classic photo of Dixon trying to beat his murder charges by pretending to be insane. Good work 2guns.

Luigi, just a couple of questions concerning your cycle log:

If you're now using to get your physique to the next level of development would it not be prudent to have atleast a failry accurate account of your calories/and macros along with measurements that include girths of chest/arms/waist/thighs/calves/BF etc.

IMO BBuilding is about improving your physique, and proportions, it's not a contest measured by how much weight and or fat you can gain in the off season.

Other than just your subjective views of your physique in the mirror, just curious to see how you are charting your progress, it seems as though to justify the expense that you are spending to improve your physique you would want proof that what you are taking is helping to make a measurable difference to your physique.

As a trainer it shouldn't be too hard to chart these measurements?

yes of corse im keeping track, whether or not i post them up here is a different story, lot of negative people on this board and id rather not post up everything to be honest.

and at start of journal macros are 40 protein 50 carbs and 10 fats

diet is 4000 calories but im eating more than that so im unsure exactly how much but over 4000 and im growing at a consistent rate.

so how much did u gain luigi, couple of grams?

yea so far 200 grams but im hoping to gain at least 50 more :roll:

[Luigi]

training today

back... lil bit of bis

deadlifts

60x10 - odd feeling like someone has hit my tailbone with a hammer... ?

100x10

130x6

160x2

180x1 went up easy as ......... but thought id better stop here just incase

chins widegrip

bwx10

bwx8plus 2 spotted

underhand pulldowns

120x12

widegrip

90x12 sitting vertical

120x12 leaning back

seated rows closegrip

185x12

210x8x2

wg

150x12 - could really feel these in lower lats

curls quickly

straight arm pulldowns

2 sets

good workout focused on keeping the weight lighter but really using the back and not arms to pull weight back in fully extending muscle bellys and flaring lats for pulldowns, seated rows felt wicked, think deadlift will be a easy pb when i go for it in 2 weeks.

No worries man. Keeping records is a fool proof way of knowing what works and what doesn't.

Are you planning on competing this year? It sounds as though a few guys from Christchurch (myself included) will be doing comps this year.

Ive never sat down and worked it out but considering my breakfast shake alone is 1000+

Is that made up of protein shake plus a few cups of oats, plus olive oil?

[tikalosh]

n00b steroid question:

Are you training longer (1-2? hour workouts) now that you're on roids, seeing as your test levels are constantly high and not dropping after 45mins like us nattys?

im trying not to train too long still think its catabolic ?? but its real easy too, like after an hour i still have strength and endurance and just wanna keep lifting but think it might be counter productive, i still get a lot more done in an hour though as rest time between sets is minimal

I have rarely done this ... and to be honest I dont know any serious competitors that do. most go off what they see in the mirror, what they wear and of course their weight. Different strokes I know, but I gave up measurements personally years ago. The only reason I agree to measure a client is to prove to them their thighs are not growing too fast etc ... waist etc to show results.

same rules apply with regard to this, whether you are on or off cycle IMO

[boostinggtir]

Where's that pic at?

[Matrix]

Fair enough comment Optimass.

With experience ones ability to objectively look at and analyze their physique improves.

For example: On Shawn Ray's vid, he states that he never counts calories and goes by how he looks and eats when he is hungry.

I guess it comes down to whether you are an analytical person or not and whether you have an experienced mentor.

For beginners doing it by themselves I would still recommend having a look at calories and measurement just so you know what is working and what is not and if you are reaching your targets or not. It can take out alot of frustration.
