First Test Cycle

The most important factor is INTENSITY. To break out of your body s homeostasis and force it to do what it does NOT want to. if you go in everyday and do 40 sets of exercises half assed and void of any challenge you will be waisting your time. I can trash myself completely in 12 sets or less if I utilize superset and pre exhaustion methods. Squeeze contract and allow the negatives to do their thing. Its not always about more reps

Thats so very true! I can always go to the the gym and lift weights its all about lowering weights! When im doing heavy lifting though i tend to just move the weight as fast as i can( sometimes not all that fast anyway)
 
I bet you are not pushing you shoulder blades together, arching your lower back, or you could be using a grip that is too wide. Those are the things that make my shoulder hurt- push those fucking shoulder blades together like your life depends on it brother.
Thanx i will for sure! My bench is so weak i got alot of work to do

I found out your bench is far more than your bench. To progress steadily and safely it is just as important to develop delts, lats, triceps... every muscle is just as important as your chest. Nothing like db flys to build that chest though.

As was previously stated keeping the muscle contracted and under steess is far more important than how much or how many. When doing working and warm up sets I never lock out at the top and I don't hit my chest at the bottom. I make sure I always have my chest under stress.

Well i certainly have been working on being more well rounded then before. Thats a really great point on bench though i do need to get more symetrical than i am. Im sure it will go up with my other lifts
 
Last night was lower and i had to cut it short. I pinned this morning and no pip right after . Still get sore the day after but its not lasting 3 days like it did.

Front squats 6 by 4

Hack squats 6 by 5

Leg curls 6 by 8

Calf raises 8 by 10


The hack squats were horrid
I still love legs though.
So tonight is my last upper before i start my 5 day split. Shoulders pretty sore and hurting today. We'll see how it goes.
 
So tonight was upper and i had to cut short again:-( . So cant wait to split it up next week!.

Hammer press 6 by 8

On arm row 6 by 8

Bb shoulder press 6 by 8

Late pull reverse grip6 by 10

Db curls 4 by 8 ( this was when i had to leave) :-( still had extensions and abs. My workouts are getting far to long. But i killed it
 
Also i forgot to mention (thanx brutus) that i had the most insane pump tonight doing hammer press!! I did them as slow as i could and no lock out and no bottom pause ! All tention all the time . It was a amazing pump!!
 
Thanx huck and trucker as well for all the input!! Finally starting to get some strenght back .....nowhere near what it was though. Damn drugs!

Seriously, don't ever let yourself ever get close to being hungry. Add fats to the mix too. We gotta bulk you up!

Looking at the pics I do see a change in fullness. As your cycle continues itll only get more obvious. You should be getting ready to blast off...
 
Lol. I know im starting to get there. I sure hope the blast off is right around the corner!! The big thing i noticed is my recovery between sets is getting alot faster even for heavy lifting.
