Workout was a success today. Took the two previous days off to recover so strength was on point. Numbers are slowly going back up, starting to fill back out, and all in all everything seems to be back on track.
 
This is a great log, I really enjoy following it. I know what you mean about taking 40 days off for illness, that just happened to me as well it was a longest time I've ever been out of the gym for illness. I've been back in for about a week and I'm just now getting back to Some solid numbers. Really sucks, there was so much s*** going around this year everybody was sick. Glad to see you're back at it hard. Good work brother.

I appreciate it man. It for me too was the longest I’ve been out of the gym in probably 6 years. I mean I’m by no means a monster but it definitely took a toll on size and strength. Just glad to see the numbers getting back to normal along with my strength. The flu was just nasty this year and definitely got the best of me. Sickest I’ve been in years hands down.

Went a bit lighter on shoulders today and aimed for higher reps. Works been putting stress on them and shit I’m still getting used to that again still being my first week back. Feel pretty exhausted getting back into a routine and finding balance between everything.
 
Been completely off aas for a few months now. Got home from work last night and saw my package has arrived. Today is day one of the first planned cycle for 2018.
Weekly Doses:
Test 325 Blend : 650mg/wk
NPP: 450mg/wk
Superdrol: 10mg 45-60min PWO
Arimidex: .25mg EOD (will adjust accordingly)

Diet roughly will stay the same with an increase mainly of carbs. Calories will be added as needed based off week to week morning weight and what the mirror is telling me. 300-350c 300p <90f per day. Roughly 3200cal to start off for the first two weeks.

Workout was great today. Not sure if I just carbed up properly (roughly 110c preworkout) before hand and etc or maybe the sd (could just be mental bs) but I had a freakish pump today. Strength still slowly climbing. Focusing on quality reps, good squeeze, and using what weight I can without losing mind to muscle connection.

Lacking energy today even with higher carbs now the last few days. Somehow managed a pretty solid pump today. Quads were destroyed after third exercise. Rest of the workout really had to push myself to finish out all sets. Regardless solid workout. Ready to go home and crash.

Great workout today. Third day one SD pre workout @10mg. Can notice some small increases in strength. Nothing crazy. What’s most impressive is that in just 4 days the way I can see my body starting to fill out (especially in Shoulders and arms) , some changes in vascularity (Shoulders, forearms, and biceps) and even handful of comments from others on some increase in size. I’m sure the SD has a part as well as increase in diet going hand in hand. Can def notice some lethargy on workout days when I take it and my day off yesterday without it didn’t have any whatsoever so. 10mg seems perfect for me. Can’t imagine goin up any higher. All in all good workout, AAS seems to be good to go as well pinning on M/W/F and will post some update pics abt the end of week 2.

OFF DAY

Wanted to stay active but forced myself away from weights today (soreness is really minimal now but know I need the recovery) so went and did 20min cardio on treadmill. 15% incline 2.5mph. Haven’t done cardio since December so really had to force myself. Realized how much more I really need to do it more often again.

Hanging leg raises
3 sets to failure (3 sec ecc holds)
Cable crunches
3 sets to failure (3 sec ecc holds)

Noticed my NPP crashed a little bit so had to use the coffee maker to heat it up and bring it back to life. Other than that low carb day meals so far today were:

Meal 1
5 extra large eggs and fat free cheese

Meal 2
6oz chicken, fat free cheese, low carb flatbread wrap

Meal 3
6 oz chicken and 1 cup cooked oats

Meal 4
2 scoops myprotein iso

Meal 5
6 oz chicken, 3 extra large eggs, 1 cup cooked oats

Probably have one more shake by the end of the day and a chicken and veggie meal to finish it off with some more fats.

Solid workout. One of my best to date. Almost every lift went up in weight or reps this week compared to last Upperbody Power day. Very pleased with the gear and the first week of this cycle with changes in diet and now going to incorporate some new training methods.
 
3/25/2018- OFF DAY
3/26/2018- OFF DAY


Decided to take two consecutive days off this week to give my body some extra recovery. Have been hammering training the past few weeks and can definitely feel it this morning. Was going to hit Power Lower Body today but legs were still a bit tender from two days ago so threw in the towel to make for a better workout tomorrow.

Muscles are really starting to fill back out midway through week two. Superdrol definitely does the trick pwo and now then test Blend and npp should be coming to a peak pretty soon as well. Strength is slowly climbing and pumps the last couple workouts have been awesome. Overall well-being is good. Some lethargy from the SD on days taken pwo but other than that very pleased with the results thus far.

Off days cut carbs in half and still hit roughly 3,000 cals with an increase in protein and a bit in fats as well to keep energy levels up throughout the day. Training days cals hit around 3,200 plus. So far weight is gradually increasing. Going to give it another week and probably make some small changes depending on the scale and what the mirror tells me. Holding onto a little bit of water but that was expected.
