No not bad at all man. What's your max on bench?I'm not happy with how it went, but I start Sheiko on Tuesday, so this was the last chance for awhile. I guess only losing one rep from a month ago isn't too bad with the cutting though.

Nice. Mine is 305 but I'm sure with a decent spotter I could hit more. My wife spots me sometimes and honestly it's a huge pain. I typically lose my set up because I have to lift off 90% of the weight lol.370 paused has been my best. I'm using 350 for my Sheiko max to account for the cutting.
Just got caught up on some of your posts here. I wouldn't go to conservative on your maxes. I definitely would plug at minimum whatever you hit in your meet. I went way to conservative on bench and had to up it and I feel I could have been even stronger starting with it. I think I could have put a higher squat too. Just didn't know how my back would hold up. Now I wish I would have been at least another 20 if not more higher.
It's always easier to up it if needed then miss reps and have to lower itI've looked through the routine using my meet maxes and it's 100% doable as far as the day to day work. My concern with using them is the two singles at 100% in week eight. Keep in mind I've switched back to conventional deadlift recently, I don't know 100% what my 1RM raw squat is and I'm in a calorie deficit and only on a cruise dose. I'm just knocking off 15 on dead and 20 on bench. Squat I'm just estimating. I just really don't want to miss lifts.

I was crushing the squats easily and my knee gave out first rep of the fourth set. Same knee, same symptoms, no pain and no warning. Was wearing my sleeves, too. I crushed the bench easily. Did incline dumbbell flyes with 30's and good mornings with 155. The usual twenty minutes of cardio after.
Weight was 226, so it's continuing to melt off at least. I've been slacking on tracking calories since the weekend, but going to try to get back on that.
The guy that's always bragging about his half squats was telling someone he hit 625x2 and felt something tear, so he just started repping out 500. Then did 405x25 and should have recorded it, but didn't. Got a world class 198 lifter at my gym, lol.![]()
To bad to hear about your knee do you think it's gonna be something you got to take time off for again?
Interesting knee injury, no pain and it just gave out. Gotta be something that maybe@Doc187123 might know about, he seems to be a walking library of info.The day has arrived...

And the half squat dude, seems every gym has at least one of these guys. We had a guy that would load 9 plates on the bar inside the squat rack but set up to bench. He would spend 20 min going through this fucking ritual of trying to get the bar perfectly centered, crawl under it , then back out at least 5-10 times. Then when everything was just right he would put his weight belt on and pull his shirt over his head from the front. Now this guy didnt look like he ever stepped foot in a gym, fat but skinny if you get me. Anyway he would get back under the bar and press for about 2 seconds then get out and strut around like he just did something special. Of course the bar didnt move at all cause he couldn't actually even press 225 for real.
I was gonna record him and post it for everyone to enjoy but they booted him cause he bent two bars doing this.
And dont even get me started on the screamer[emoji33]
I wouldn't bother with anavar as the healing effects will be unnoticed in my opinion the deca is what's gonna make you feel good and cushion your joints and aid in aches and pain removal (via masking it not actually fixing) I think
400 deca and 600 test would work well for your goals and if you are bulking up on this cycle dbol for 4 weeks during a peaking point would be nice for strength and size. I wouldn't worry about caber or
Proviron they both are expensive and useless if you get your bloods taken and control e2 properly. GH would be the only thing that I've looked into thoroughly that truly helps fix injuries and strengthens at the same time, but GH is a cost to benifit with me and unless you are in a finical situation were you have the extra money and you don't care about price tag then I think it costs too much for the average person.
I like the 400 deca 600 test should be great, im not a high dose guy so these numbers are perfect IMO others may disagree but ive had fantastic results on 200/200. The deca will work magic on injuries. I ran NPP at 100mg 3x a week and at about week 3 was 100% pain free in my shoulders for the first time in years. Never had deca dick and ive ran several deca only cycles. As rogerthat said keep your e2 in check with an ai and you shouldnt have any problems with prolactin.
I say save the higher doses for when you no longer get great results with these numbers and youll be glad you didnt jump right to the high doses.
Im almost 3 months in on my first GH run and im noticing fat loss and i feel great also skin is looking pretty good too. Injuries still there but ill let you know if and when that changes as im gonna probably do a 7-8 month run. And im using pharm grade.
