Hello Meso,
This will be my first log of any kind ever. So it might take some time to get where it needs to be. As stated in the title I am transitioning from a bodybuilder style work out into power lifter training. Why? I've been at this for awhile (since 2006) and I'm bored. I used to love working out. Now it's become a task to me. I hope to eventually find a place to compete. It might be a little harder because of where I'm living right now.
I won't be actually going full into the strength / powerlifting routine until 1 September. Until then I'll be working more on getting my form right and figuring out exactly what training model to follow (I'm torn between 5x5, Westside barbell, and Sheikh. But leaning towards Westside barbell. Any opinions would be great). On September 1st I also plan to start my next cycle. It will be simple. Just 600mg Test C a week for 15 weeks.
A little about myself (I never did an intro in the new member section, sorry)
I'm 34 years old
6'0
215lbs
Ran some PHs in the past
2 real cycles so far (1st was 500mg Test C for 12 weeks, 2nd was Test P and DMZ for 8 weeks)
Also I have a condition called ulcerative colitis (UC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcerative_colitis. So I get sick every once in awhile. When I do I tend to lose a lot of muscle. Between 10 and 20lbs easy. I just got out of the hospital a few weeks ago. Lost 15 lbs. Still working on getting it back and my strength back.
My goals are to get my big 3 lifts better. Raise my 1RM on each. And gain some mass (Until now I've had to keep my weight at a certain level because I have to run for work. But I no longer have to run, so as long as my bf is good I can get as big as I want!)
Thanks all for reading. Any help, suggestions, criticism, etc. are not only welcome, but needed. I expect everyone here to help me push myself past whatever limits I think I have.
P.S. My log is like my house, there are no rules to my log. Kick off your shoes, make yourself at home. Go on the fridge. Just try not to clog the toilet.
