Old Ladies and Anavar

Day 9 at 20 mg. Week 5 of cycle. Back Day. Switched up my routine a bit based on an article I read on T-Nation. (I'm addicted). Did rack pulls instead of DLs 4 x 185x10. Been burnt on the Deads so nice to mix it up a bit. Super-Setted with chin-ups which I've gotten eerily stronger at. Sets of 10 doable although a bit of a struggle. Set PR on cable row (80 lb) and Hip Thrusters (155x10). Also bent over row, wide grip lat pull-down, weighted back extensions.

I feel good about the progress my body as made. I have to remember I'm pushing 50. Still a little troubling when my shorts from last year are tight though. Mostly due to leg growth, but the button also came off the waist. Can I blame booty gains? Because I think I am. Stomach getting more defined. Still have a ways to go.

Leg day tomorrow, which is a killer and I go all out trying to kick my own ass.

I love their articles too!
Deads are super taxing, that's why I only do them once a week. It's good to have other alternatives like you're doing.
Sounds like you murdered your back!
That's awesome. I LOVEEEE back day

I love T-Nation articles as well! Yay for back days and booty gainz.

Day 10. Leg day! PR'd squat at 175 and bb lunge at 115. Felt pretty strong and slipped an extra set of front squats at 115 in the normal routine. Feeling pretty solid.

115 for front squats is solid! How do you place the bar on your front squats?

 

[Devika]

Dang 175?
I'm jelly Wendy!!
I've hit a plateau at 165

Also, I really need to start front squatting. It just feels so weird

 

[Crystal234]

Dang! Congrats on the PR's!!

Me, too. I tried a few weeks ago with just the bar and had a hard time because my forearms/wrists are not flexible enough. Have you tried out Zercher squats as an alternative? They also feel weird for me, lol.

Like hand placement? I use two fingers to cradle the bar. I'm not flexible enough for any other configuration. Front squats are the devil.

I was enjoying a pump that day I say enjoying....it was making me walk funny. And by "it" i'm not talking about my enlarged clit.... JK....(oh, how I crack myself up).

Did you read T-Nation's post on busting plateaus? It worked for my bench. You get 40 reps at your 80% 1RM. Doesn't matter how many sets it takes you. 40 reps. You'll get it. I'm sure!! There are a million ways to skin this cat.
