Glad I found this.. looks like a very interesting log, definitely subbed. Question though.. I didn't see any GH included? I've always heard that using slin without GH or at least some good peptides wouldn't produce great results. Any thoughts on this?
The reason I haven't decided to run HGH is simply because I feel that's a bigger leap than what I'm ready for. I haven't studied the substance enough, I don't know enough about it, and I'm not 110% comfortable. Of course, to yield the best results slin should be ran with hgh and igf but.. just wasn't an option for me. I know and have read and seen it for my own eyes- slin alone still does some glorious things With a nice protocol.

Sugars in this meal was about 36g - too high for my liking but I figured what the hell..
Today is chest and shoulders ladies and gents.

Tell me, am I shoulder pressing heavy, or bench pressing heavy?
 
Why choose?? :)
You SOB....

Glad to see you thinking for yourself TNE .
Thats rare around here (alot of followers...;))

...and your natural GH levels should still be very high at your age, obviously or you couldnt have built what you did.

I'll always have my health in mind, and I'll never take steps in a direction I don't see fit. I'm young, yes, but I'm not ridiculous about what I'm doing. Yes, you may disagree with the dosages and protocol being used this year for me, but keep in mind, I too know where to draw the line. My line just might be further down the road than some others would agree with. BUT, at least there is a line.

The "line" is ENTIRELY up to you. No one else should influence that, only your personal education and risk vs. reward scale.... I understand your desire to achieve great things, and the "risk" acceptance involved. Some do not, and this is okay. You don't do it for them, anyway.

Oh don't worry. I'm just here doing my little thing informing some people every now and then with updates. Not a word from someone could stop me, I know what's at risk. But in my mind what I'm doing is providing all the materials necessary to build what I want, so..that's what I'm going to do. Jump on, hop off, call me an idiotic kid, I guess this is the jackass in me speaking. But it's my decision that effects my life not yours.. and I'm not trying to be subpar at best.

Some people are VERY concerned about what we do with our own bodies, it seems. It's not like either one of us has EVER condoned this behavior.... I have clearly stated countless times that I don't recommend emulating.... If you look at all of my advice to ALLLLLL the noobies here, it's always the same basic cycles.... I don't give outrageous advice.

Agreed, strange that you mention that. As I see all my post when they're aimed towards helping them..it's always sound and practical advice.. All my protocols I've listed, handed out, the dieting help I've given, the training regimens, and just sharing what I know... Then for someone to come in here and act like I'm being ridiculous with the things I'll be pursuing in my very own life...

Then again, criticizing my knowledge that I've truly shown, missing the times I spend probably two hours a day reading books and actual studies to further increase my intelligence on the "sport" as a whole.. Better yet, telling me I'm completely out of line when in fact if they know me so well they should know I honestly slightly barley give a shift if any at all. When I set my mind to something, it's set.

I hope that clears up things. My rants over.

On a real note- I just ate this fucking chicken breast to realize it's pink and wouldn't tear. Oops, back in the oven.

I've got back tomorrow. Let's hear it.
Overall thought of the workout? Jealous of your strength fucker. Lol, I never press chest and shoulders on same day. Man I went into my shoulder presses and was quickly humbled... 105x10 quickly turned to 105x4 !

I'll post it up in a little while. Time to make myself sick on sushi and hibachi. :)

I was just thinking to myself that I hope you bastards had a hefty meal before this cause you'll definitely be feeling it when you get to the super sets. Man I bet you were drained.

Shoulders after heavy chest had always been humbling experience for me! My strength drop dramatically. It's often made me wonder if I'm using too much delt in my chest presses.

Haha, nutrition is a must.
I don't think you're using too much delts during chest movements unless it's easily noticeably shown to you. There's of course techniques to limit shoulder use and maximize chest use. The shoulders get worked regardless, the same as bis with back and lower back with legs ect

Getting the dumbbells up is the hardest part! I can swing them up until around 85-90 then have to use knees to assist. I was honestly exhausted by the end... I was kicking myself at the start for not going in well fed... My stomach was upset from being empty. Gatorade sugar eventually helped some. I'll full now. :)

Here's a workout I do on Fridays sometimes. You can subb rack pulls instead of deadlifts if you want, I sometimes do.

Deads
1 or 2 warm-up sets.
3 x 5 @ 70%, 80%, 85% final set is AMRAP but keep strict form, don't go nuts.

Barbell Rows
3x8
I prefer Yates Rows to work the top more.

Lat Pulldowns
4x10
I pick up the pace with rest between sets at this point, speed things up a bit.

Wide grip cable rows
3x10-8
I pull up at the very end and flex traps. I go heavy and focus particularly on slowly straightening arms back out. You can sub this with supinating cable rows instead, uses individual handles and you twist as you pull.

Shrugs
4x12-8
I switch between machine and dumbbells, when doing machine I work up to five plates each side and then do drop sets by taking a plate off until there is only two left on each side. HOLD at the top. These need to be slow. Everyone I see speeds through these, don't.

Narrow grip pulldown
3x8-10


Dumbbell curls
4x10-8
Arnold says we must supinate. :)

Preacher curls
5x6-12
EZ curl or dumbbells or a mix of both. I prefer to go as low as 6 reps early on to encourage a deep pump then lighten it back up and work up as high as 12.

Incline dumbbell curls
5x10-8
Palms out whole time, you should get a deep stretch and hard contraction here. Keep elbows down, don't let tension go.

Rope Hammer Curls or dumbbell hammer curls
I do burner drop sets here, you can superset the next movement if you want. Should be quick, if session has lasted an hour a half I skip this or the next lift. Arms should be weak at this point.

Straight arm lat Pulldowns
I do a very quick sets, about 3.

I've gotten excellent results from this routine and come back to it often.
