Strive For Moreee

Nice Meadows row, I did these as well today. I like the feel but I don’t get quite the pump as I do from single arm dB rows which I did today before Meadows row. Not sure if I’m kicking back my hip in the right spot to engage the whole lat like he describes. Still love the movement and I’m sure i’ll feel it when I get it perfect if I haven’t already. I wish he was there to train me!
Bro I know I wish I could have him as a trainer haha. I haven’t done Meadows Rows in months and today they seriously gave me a nasty pump. Gonna stick with them for a few weeks. Get a great stretch too with them and depending on foot positioning you can hit damn near anywhere on your back. Normally keep feet squared off and shoot for lower lats.

So first week off of Superdrol. Definitely kissing the extra boost in the gym. Strength hasn’t decreased whatsoever though. Also a hell of a lot loss lethargic midday. Which is nice. Weight has maybe dropped a on at the most being the first week off of Superdrol. Muscles still very full a bit of less bloat as well is noticeable. Wasn’t too much to begin with though. Also tomorrow is my last shot of NPP then Tren E will be taking it’s place at the same dosage 450mg/wk. Have already been pinning that to line up with the stop of the NPP. One more full week off of orals and going to finish up with Anavar at 75mg/day. Test dosage staying the same @680mg/wk.

I don’t post too many back shots because I feel for me that’s a weakness I have. But since last October with this program I’ve been hammering it with heavy rows and now aiming to add some width to it. Actually somewhat happy with this. Feel I definitely added some density and back is a hell of a lot stronger now than it was.

Cardio
30min stairmaster.

Morning weight just shy of 220 starting week 9. Don’t feel like I’ve let body composition get out of control which was the goal. Added some great size so far IMO.

PHAT Program I’ve been running since last October has come to an end and time to switch things up. Had great results in size and strength. Will definitely run it again in the future.

New program will start tomorrow. Going to run John Meadows new program “Gamma Bomb” for 14 weeks and see what I can make happen. Looking forward to some change !! What better way than with a Meadows Program!!

Another solid workout in the books. Really enjoying this program structure a lot. Shoulders felt like they were gonna explode. It’s some much needed change. Also weighed in this morning and was down a couple pounds. Figure that’s from dropping the SD. Strength hasn’t changed a bit. Little bit less bloated and bit tighter so feel like most the weight lost was water anyways.

Great workout today. Short rest periods and just a NASTY arm pump. First actual arm day I’ve had since last October. Felt good to get in there and give them some direct focus.

Second week off SD and definitely have dropped some water and tightened up a bit. Another week and Tren E should be full blast and going to start Anavar @50mg/day for second half of cycle.
 
5/17/2018
OFF DAY

Must say when I first looked over the “Gamme Bomb” Program I thought to myself the volume seemed low compared to the volume I had been doing with my last program (PHAT Program). But, as this first week has come to an end my views of that assumption have completely changed. Given the right intensity that’s suggested for each exercise off of the RPE scale the intensity put forth and various techniques John Meadows implements for certain exercises absolute shoots down any assumption I had or what I “thought I knew”. Which is not a bad thing. Definitely have been sore in some different areas this week and also pushed myself to new levels of exertion. Exactly what I was hoping for with the change of program.

Rack pulls took the life outta me today. No clue the last time I’ve done them. But as a 4th exercise I was already taxed by the time they came around. Great back pump today. Numbers on Meadows Rows up 5lbs since last week. DB dropset destroyed my lats before rack pulls finished them off.

Today’s workout was solid. Feel I should have done a couple warm ups for incline barbell but I was sort of in a rush today and it definitely effected my numbers I feel on that and the following exercise. My mind wasn’t completely focused on the workout today.

Tren E should be in full effect by the end of the week and Anavar will also be coming into play starting Thursday. Looking forward to maintain current weight of 222lbs and tightening up.

Leg smashed today. We’re literally twitching after Bulgarians. Program only called for one set of SLDL but I had crazy back pumps so instead of using a heavier weight which I had lots of room to do I just stuck with really focusing on the stretch with 135 and added an extra set. Looking forward to the tren kicking in. Almost been 3 weeks now and also Thursday will be adding anavar in @75mg/day split in 3 25mg doses throughout the day.

5/24/2018
OFF DAY

45min cardio on the stair master completed. Also decided to drop protein down a bit to 350g per day along side of 350g of carbs per day on training days.

Started Anavar as well today at @75mg/day. Looking forward to giving this compound a go. Never used before so from what I’ve seen splitting the dose over 3 8hr periods of the day would keep a somewhat stable level in my system. But again I feel I may just be looking too far into it and can probabaly get away with just splitting the dose into twice a day.

Really enjoy these pump workouts it’s definirely a nice change of pace between workouts earlier in the week. Looking forward to a lot of new improvements to come with this program. Still pushing a good bit of food. Diet is 95% in check. Some days go a bit over but. Whatever. It’s not much of a concern. Body has definitely tightened up a bit in the last two weeks and I’ve managed to keep my weight damn near the same. Which is exactly my goal.

Started this blast at 199 and now sitting at 222. Goal is to finish up at 220 between 10-12%. Also decided I’m going to do a show at the beginning of 2019 so really going to work harder than i ever have for the rest of the year. Really feel I have the ability and potential to make some serious gains and changes and step on stage and bring a great package.
