Test/deca

Workout update:

6x5 bench press @ 285lbs
6x6 squats @ 315lbs

Weight today was 212. Definitely a little bloated, but still looking pretty vascular and have some decently visible stirations in shoulders and chest. Caliper said I was at 9% bodyfat, but I'd guess I'm closer to 13-14
 
Decided to finally start upping the intensity and dropping the volume. I haven't really worked with heavy weights much so I figured the mental aspect of the lift would be a lot easier if I took an extra week to get used to handling the heavier loads so when I try to throw 500+lbs on my back it doesn't feel like it's going to crush me. Lol.

Ended up working up to a single of 455, then backed off and did a 3x3 of 440lbs. Felt like I was going to die on the 1st rep of every set, but some how kept managing to do all three. lol.

Did a 4x3 of of bench @ 330lbs. After doing those squats, the bench seemed like a walk in the park... Ha.
 
Yeah. I'm thinking 425, 455, and 505 for squat. Then 325, 345, and 365 for bench. Deadlift I was thinking 495, 545, then either 585 or 605. Not quite sure yet. I feel I have 585 in the bag, but 605 is a bit of a stretch.

To expand upon your caffeine and sugar post. I've actually cut out all stimulants and sugary shit so hopefully on meet day they give me a hell of a boost. Ha. TNE, halo, and a double scoop of mesomorph.. Ha. Might as well snort bath salts
Sounds like a good plan...but I'd add 1000mg of tren ace that morning and double the bath salts for that extra face eating explosiveness.lol
 
Workout today was,

Paused bench: 275x3, 315x1, 325x1
T&G bench: 345x1, 365x1
Paused bench: 315x3x3

The 365 came up pretty easy, no sticking points, nice and smooth. It definitely wasn't a bounce the weight off my chest kind of rep either. lol. Didn't keep it on my chest long enough though to consider it competition quality.
 
Workout today was,

Deadlifts: 495x1, 545x1, 510x3x3
Reverse flies: 4x15

Threw in the reverse flies to hopefully keep my shoulders healthy from all the pushing with my shoulders and not much pulling. Figured measly little reverse flies won't do much in terms of fatigue.
 
Today's workout was,

4X3 paused bench press @ 90% (330lbs)

Pretty simple workout today. Girlfirend got me sick. Didn't seem to slow me down much though. Although it almost fell like I was about to tear my pec on my last set. Ha.
 
If those were anything but RPE 10's you've got 370-380 for sure.

The first two were about an 8, got them all up pretty clean. The third was pushing a 9, and the last one was about a 9.5. Roughly 2/3 of the way through the lift it slowed down and I had to fight it a bit, but it wasn't what I'd really consider a grinder.

I'm hoping for a 370, that would be pretty great. Right now I'm not taking anything except the test @600. Ended up not picking up the tne and halo, but I have enough dbol and ment so that about a week before competition I can start loading up on those.
 
Workout today:

4x3 squats @ 430lbs
8x15 calf raises

Kind of a boring workout... Ha. Was tempted to do some curls afterwards, but settled for some calf raises.
 
Workout today was,

4X3 deadlifts @ 510lbs

Didn't feel too bad today. Hit all my reps with ease. I missed a couple meals last night though, ended up weighing in this morning pretty dry at 198.6. So I guess making weight for 198 isn't going to be of concern
 
Ha. Isn't it crazy how that shit can happen?

I have just under two weeks now. So this will be my last heavy deadlift week. I'll probably still have one more heavy bench and squat day about 6-7 days out. Nothing too special, I'll probably just hit some singles at 95% or maybe do another 3x3 at 90%
 
Today's workout

2x3 squats @ 430lbs
2x3 bench @ 330lbs
2x3 deadlifts @ 510lbs

Unfortunately I won't be able to compete next weekend because I started a new career and they scheduled me for 10-6 Friday and Saturday. I'm still going to finish the peak and max out at the gym this weekend to see how things go.

Good news is the new job is great. Get paid a lot to not really do mucn. Bad news is, today was my first time back in the gym in almost a week. Stomach still was a little f'd up all week so I couldn't eat much. Decided to skip maxing out and go straight into my 12 weeks to a 405 bench and 600lbs deadlift routine.

First thing I'm trying to accomplish is obviously a few extra lbs of muscle and addressing any weak points. My weak points are my triceps and shoulders. So I'm going to give floor presses, weighted dips, and ohp a little bit of attention considering I usually never do.

Workout was,

4x8 paused bench @ 275 lbs
3x8 incline bench
4x15 cable crossovers
4x8 ohp
3x8 shoulder press
4x6 weighted dips
4x10 tricep pushdowns
