We didn't get a 1/10 of what they said for us. Hopefully your able to make it out

I'd be so happy. I guess we'll see tomorrow. Glad to see you're feeling better from when you were sick by the way.

We don't normally get a "ton" of snow here so I was looking forward messing around in the truck and means the gym will be empty for a few days.

I'm glad too. It sucked. I'm gonna attempt a Sheiko workout tomorrow. I've been shoveling as much food as possible and feel pretty good.

Gottcha... Wow time goes fast. Good luck.

Are you thinking B&C for life or try a pct in the future?

What's your feeling on that? My friend says if I keep B&C that my receptors will be blocked and my gains will be minimal at best..some knowledgeable input would be great

Sounds like your friend has a bachelors degree in broscience

I dont know enough about to answer your question man, sorry. Ive never researched it because its not something ive considered.

There is no tolerance or receptor downregulation, as far as we can tell.

The myostatin response seems to be what slows gains.

Therefore, the answer is to blast and CRUISE! You either need the downtime cruising, or you'll need to keep upping the anabolic dose.


Aaaannnndddd back to Ruckin!

Press: 185x8x3
Squat (paused atg): 355x6x4
Bench: 270x10x3
Deadlift: 415x5x4
Db curls: 50sx13,3,1 (rp set)
Face pulls: 140x16,4,2 (rp set)


Fuck yeah I finally got to 185 for my press working sets! It was only a few months ago I remember 185 being my 5 rep max before I turned to the dark side.

Deadlifts went great as well. Bar speed was great even on my last set/last rep.

So I somehow irritated my right tricep tendon(s) today, didn't even notice til a few hours after I left my gym (it's usually my left one that bothers me). Kinda frustrating. I've been foam rolling it, and it's been by far the most painful foam roll job I've ever done so hopefully that means I'm breaking up a lot of bad shit, or however medical experts would phrase that lol.

If this keeps up I'll likely start pushing less hard on my flat and incline bench and just accept less progress for the sake up hopefully staying healthy. Maybe it's just that my tendon strength or whatever can't keep up with the rate I've been gaining strength. I feel douchey saying that but I think that might be the case. I might even consider lowering my dose a little to keep myself from gaining strength too fast. Idk...

Make sure you keep an eye on that brother. I have a few lingering pains that come and go. I always back off the things that bother me the most or try to change up form. Then when the pain goes away back to crushing it.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

That sucks and be careful for sure. If you have trouble reaching it with a foam roller have someone use a rolling pin on it.

Yeah I've been dealing with it on my left side on/off for a long time but this is the first time I've felt it in the right.

Lol a rolling pin sounds interesting. I think a lacrosse ball would be good too since it's such a tiny spot that has pain. I need to get one.

I couldn't find a lacrosse ball at any of the local sporting goods stores around here. Rolling pin is great on the inner quad, excruciating though.

I don't really have anything to say lol. Hope everyone's having a good day.

So I'm thinking about switching back to regular squats instead of paused ones. I've been getting a very small, but still noticable amount of pain in my right knee that's never happened before. I can't say it definitely has something to do with the paused squats, but I just have a hunch it's related. Maybe I'm doing the pauses wrong, idk.

Anyways I'm getting off work in an hour, gonna go take a long nap since I didn't sleep the best last night, and hit the gym later tonight. I might bump up my squat weight 10 lbs to 365 instead of 360 if I do non-paused instead, so that'll be fun.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I have no idea either if the pauses would do it, but if it's a hunch I'd listen to it and see how it goes. The change will probably do you good anyway.

Another solid workout in the books. I didn't get any more on my press than I did 2 days ago but my form was a lot better and more consistent so I'll count that as good progress there. Squats were good, I went back to regular, non-paused, atg squats and my knees feel great. First time I've done them in months so I expect that it'll progress very quickly as I get used to using the stretch reflex again.

Deadlift went well too, I'm pretty happy I got all 5 reps on that set.

I think I've read some say EQ has "joint lubrication" (lol) effects similar to deca/npp. I know you haven't used deca or npp yet, but have you noticed anything like that?? You're a few weeks ahead of me and I can say I haven't noticed anything....my elbow still hurts!! I don't believe I've read that you been having any elbow issues recently.
