Strive For Moreee

His opinions were, he got a reduction in body fat, and his lipids were able to stay pretty close for the duration.
I see if I can find the thread again. He was a big fella, somewhere between 230 and 260 iirc.

I sent you a pm with a link to the thread.
I’m not for sure what the rules are on posting links to threads outside the site.
Appreciate it ! Always down to read and suck some info up.

Ive seen that, I think it was on underground bodybuilding. I can’t imagine cruising on tren would work for everyone else
 
Had a bad stomach bug the last few days and today was the first I’ve actually eaten some real food and got up and about. Aiming to get in the gym tomorrow night and get a solid leg workout in. Whatever I do get done this week I’m still running week 2 of the program again starting Monday. So maybe just get a good lower body workout in tomorrow and an upper on Saturday and start fresh again Monday. Been a rough week.

Needless to say this was fucking brutal. Haven’t trained legs in about 4 weeks and my God did it show today. Hamstrings completely cramped up halfway through squats. Couldn’t push heavier than 225 legs wouldn’t allow me. Same with leg Press which meant hack squat 1.5’s weren’t even an option so I subbed them for some heavy extensions. As I sit here typing this my legs feel like they normally do the day AFTER leg day. Not 10 minutes after hahah. Still got it sort of done. Just happy to be back on track.

Today was leg day for me too. I’m starting to get a lil strength built up now, and am just about ready to start a program.
I’m gonna finish out this blast, and then when I start my cruise, Im gonna pick out a program.
I’m thinking about doing a 2 week cut at the end of my blast.
Legs starting to get some shape to them. I said starting lol.

Man I’ll tel you what my legs are still shaking hahaha. Never again will I neglect legs for so long again. Mainly was due to work and the type of jobs I had scheduled o couldn’t have my legs destroyed and then try to do what I had to do. But I shouldn’t have just did nothing hahaha. It’s like popping the cherry all over again.

Ya legs are rough. I can’t really do squats very heavy because of age and back issues so I’m really investing in the leg press, and secondary exercises.
Been coming along good.
I don’t hit no where the numbers your putting up, but I’m steadily getting stronger and making progress.

And yes I agree, to long of a layoff can be rough the first day back, esp squats!

WEEK 2

Biceps - 12 sets / Triceps - 12 sets


Goal – The strategy for arm training is for maximum pump. Take as many sets as you need to warm up. Do plenty of curls and pushdowns to get your elbows greased up and ready to go. I really felt good doing this routine this week. This felt awesome. In between all sets rest 1 minute.


Barbell reverse curl
Do 5 sets of 12 reps using a full range of motion. 5 total work sets.
30x12
40x12-12-12-12-12

Hammer curl
Do 3 sets of 10 here and lower the weight with a 3 second descent. 3 total work sets.
25’s x10-10-10

EZ bar preacher curl
Also lower these with a 3 second descent. Do not go to full extension. Work the middle range of motion. Do 4 sets of 8. 4 total work sets.
Bar+20x8
Bar+30x8-7
Bar+20x8

Dips between benches (or machine dips)
Keep adding weight on these as you go. I hadn’t done these with a lot of weight in years, so 3 plates felt awesome. Do sets of 10 and just keep adding until you can’t get 10. Use controlled form ok. Don’t tear up your shoulders. We will count the last 4 sets as working sets. 4 total work sets.
190x10
210x10
230x10
250x8
230x9

Incline lying extension/skullcrushers
On these use a 5 second descent. It looks like slow motion, but the tension and burning is awesome. Do 4 sets of 10. 4 total work sets.
100x10
110x10
120x10-10

Rope pushdowns
Change of order here. Instead of first, we are doing these last. Do 4 sets of 10 and use very controlled strict form flexing on each rep for 1 second! 4 total work sets.

WEEK 3

Chest/Shoulders




Machine press
Work your way up doing sets of 10. Keep going until you can’t get 10. Use a full range of motion with a good flex on each rep. We will count the last 3 sets as working sets. 3 total work sets

Goal – Get blood flowing in pecs, and get them activated.

Incline Smith Press
Set the bench so that it is only on a slight incline. Lower these to about 2 inches above your chest. Do not lock these out. Keep constant tension. I want you to do sets of 8 going up until you can barely get 8. When you hit this last set, make it a drop set for added intensity. Do 2 drops on this last set. So do 8ish, and then drop some weight and go to failure, then drop some more and go to failure. We will call this 3 work sets total. 3 total work sets
135x8
155x8
185x8
205x8 drop 155x6

Goal – Supramax pump

Bench press
Do these very strict with a pause at the bottom on your chest on every rep. Do sets of 6 until you know adding any more weight will make 6 impossible or your form will suffer. Even on the last set, I want to be clear here, I want you to have 2 or 3 reps left in the tank. These should be perfectly lowered, paused and drove up. We will also call this 4 sets. 4 total work sets
135x6
155x6
165x6
185x6

Goal – Supramax pump

Cable Press/Fly
Do 2 sets to failure! 2 total work sets

Goal – Work a pumped muscle from the stretched position.

Superset

Dumbbell side laterals
After a warm up set or two, do sets of 10 with perfect form.

Seated dumbbell press
Also do these with perfect form, as I don’t want any sloppy pressing. Flex at the top for a sec and then lower. Do sets of 8 here.
Do 4 rounds for 8 total work sets.

45’s x8/15’s x10
40’s x8/15’s x10
40’s x8/10’s x13

Goal – Supramax pump

Rear Delt Flys (Peck deck)
