Trukkers Hormone Highway to Hell

You need to find a Costco. I get a little over a gallons worth of egg whites for around 10 bucks. I forget how many eggs that's equal to but it's a fucking lot.
I just checked an the nearest one is 120miles away. Looks like its going to be wally world eggs for this white boy lol:(
 
Try to find a place that is more "athlete" oriented. I found a sick spot in my town that takes care of alot of local lifters and professional athletes.

Biggest piece of advice is make sure you drink enough water before and after. It makes a huge difference in getting rid of all of the toxins so you're not as sore the following day.

Here is some good videos to stretch the hips out. It's helped me out TONS. do them at least every time you lift. I do them every morning when I wake up

Search for more of his videos on hip stretches he has a ton. He is a Dr and an athlete so he knows what he is talking about

Thanks for the tip man. Bound to be one in this big ass place I'm in. And I do need to get better about the stretches. Like abs I'm lazy doing em :)
I just wanna be young again...
 
I tell ya my arms haven't been this worked in a LONG time. My triceps are sore from the shoulder to the elbow. From the outside head to the inner. I contribute that to the 3 different exercises I chose.
Close grip bench
45 degree skull crushers
Pressdowns

Biceps are the same way. Wow I feel good. The gear has started kicking in. Soreness isn't as severe as it otherwise would be.

Other than that this is my Sunday update. Looking forward to a GB win today. Get this train wreck back on track. Gonna eat up as a "cheat day" or refeed however you look at it I got pizza comin. Already had pancakes, omelette and ham, shake.

Oh and I skipped today which was legs. I got more issues with my back and I don't really feel like hobbling around today. Shit happens

Late to the party again, but will be following along. Please update on if your soreness goes away faster now that you are supplementing. I always feel like recovery is much better on cycle and always wondered if it was the placebo effect

No man definitely not placebo :)
I noticed about 3 days ago all soreness is gone. I'm now 16 days in and working 200+reps a week for all bodyparts. Big difference up from my trt dose. BIG I tell ya. If my cycle history is any insite to the future next week i should see strength increases

Its deff not a placebo affect bro lol. Check this shit out man.

How Anabolic Steroids Work

Male hormones, principally testosterone, are partially responsible for the tremendous developmental changes that occur during puberty and adolescence. Male hormones have androgenic and anabolic effects. Androgenic effects are changes in primary and secondary sexual characteristics. These include enlargement of the penis and testes, voice changes, hair growth on the face, axilla, and genital areas, and increased aggressiveness. The anabolic effects of androgens include accelerated growth of muscle, bone, and red blood cells, and enhanced neural conduction.

Anabolic steroids have been manufactured to enhance the anabolic properties (tissue building) of the androgens and minimize the androgenic (sex-linked) properties. However, no steroid has eliminated the androgenic effects because the so-called androgenic effects are really anabolic effects in sex-linked tissues. The effects of male hormones on accessory sex glands, genital hair growth, and oiliness of the skin are anabolic processes in those tissues. The steroids with the most potent anabolic effect are also those with the greatest androgenic effect.

Steroid Receptors

Steroid hormones work by stimulation of receptor molecules in muscle cells, which activate specific genes to produce proteins (see Figure 1). They also affect the activation rate of enzyme systems involved in protein metabolism, thus enhancing protein synthesis and inhibiting protein degradation (called an anti-catabolic effect).





Figure 1: How a Steroid Hormone Works

Heavy resistance training seems to be necessary for anabolic steroids to exert any beneficial effect on physical performance. Most research studies that have demonstrated improved performance with anabolic steroids used experienced weight lifters who were capable of training with heavier weights and producing relatively greater muscle tension during exercise than novice subjects. The effectiveness of anabolic steroids is dependent upon unbound receptor sites in muscle. Intense strength training may increase the number of unbound receptor sites. This would increase the effectiveness of anabolic steroids.

Anti-Catabolic Effects Of Anabolic Steroids

Many athletes have said that anabolic steroids help them train harder and recover faster. They also said that they had difficulty making progress (or even holding onto the gains) when they were off the drugs. Anabolic steroids may have an anti-catabolic effect. This means that the drugs may prevent muscle catabolism that often accompanies intense exercise training. Presently, this hypothesis has not been fully proven.

Anabolic steroids may block the effects of hormones such as cortisol involved in tissue breakdown during and after exercise. Anabolic steroids may prevent tissue from breaking down following of an intense work-out. This would speed recovery. Cortisol and related hormones, secreted by the adrenal cortex, also has receptor sites within skeletal muscle cells. Cortisol causes protein breakdown and is secreted during exercise to enhance the use of proteins for fuel and to suppress inflammation that accompanies tissue injury.

Anabolic steroids may block the binding of cortisol to its receptor sites, which would prevent muscle breakdown and enhances recovery. While this is beneficial while the athlete is taking the drug, the effect backfires when he stops taking it. Hormonal adaptations occur in response to the abnormal amount of male hormone present in the athlete's body. Cortisol receptor sites and cortisol secretion from the adrenal cortex increase.

Anabolic steroid use decreases testosterone secretion. People who stop taking steroids are also hampered with less male hormone than usual during the "off" periods. The catabolic effects of cortisol are enhanced when the athlete stops taking the drugs and strength and muscle size are lost at a rapid rate.

The rebound effect of cortisol and its receptors presents people who use anabolic steroids with several serious problems: (1) psychological addiction is more probable because they become dependent on the drugs. This is because they tend to lose strength and size rapidly when off steroids. To stave off deconditioning, athletes may want to take the drugs for long periods of time to prevent falling behind. (2) Long-term administration increases the chance of serious side-effects. (3) Cortisol suppresses the immune system. This makes steroid users more prone to diseases, such as cold and flu, during the period immediately following steroid administration.

Psychological Effects

Some researchers have speculated that the real effect of anabolic steroids is the creation of a "psychosomatic state" characterized by sensations of well being, euphoria, increased aggressiveness and tolerance to stress, allowing the athlete to train harder. Such a psychosomatic state would be more beneficial to experienced weight lifters who have developed the motor skills to exert maximal force during strength training. Diets high in protein and calories may also be important in maximizing the effectiveness of anabolic steroids.

Anabolic Steroids and Performance

The effects of anabolic steroids on physical performance are unclear. Well controlled, double blind studies have rendered conflicting results. In studies showing beneficial effects, body weight increased by an average of about four pounds, lean body weight by about six pounds (fat loss accounts for the discrepancy between gains in lean mass and body weight), bench press increased by about 15 pounds, and squats by about 30 pounds (these values represent the average gains for all studies showing a beneficial effect). Almost all studies have failed to demonstrate a beneficial effect on maximal oxygen consumption or endurance capacity. Anabolic steroid studies have typically lasted six to eight weeks and have usually used relatively untrained subjects.

Most changes in strength during the early part of training are neural: increased strength is mainly due to an improved ability to recruit motor units. Anabolic steroids affect processes associated with protein synthesis in muscle. Studies lasting six weeks (typical study length) would largely reflect neural changes and could easily miss the cellular effects of the drugs.

The gains made by athletes in uncontrolled observations have been much more impressive. Weight gains of thirty or forty pounds, coupled with thirty percent increases in strength, are not unusual. Such case studies lack credibility because of the absence of scientific controls. However, it would be foolish to completely disregard such observations because the "subjects" have been highly trained and motivated athletes.Please see the articles on pharmacology of sport and sports medicine in the countries of the former Soviet Union for more information on anabolic steroids.
 
11/25/15. CHEST

• no time for biceps today. Only 1 hr for chest

LET'S GET IN TO IT


Incline barbell press = 39 reps
Incline dumbbell press @ 15° = 40 REPS
Machine press = 32 reps
Machine flyes = 36 reps

-----------------------------THINGS NOTEWORTHY------------------------

+2 REPS same weight incline barbell
+25lb on incline dumbbell same reps
+ 10 lb on flyes same reps

Across the board success today.
Really trying to focus on chest. I notice I can heave up a weight without even using the pectorals. It's a completely different feel when it's done properly. I'm honing in with the incline dumbbell presses. Not some thing I normally use.

●Pressing with dumbbells is clumsy. Injury is a real possibility here especially if you use heavy ones. Practicing safe technique but damn it's awkward
●I do my flyes extremely wide. Often people comment on how wide it is. Maybe it just looks that way with my wing span.
●getting ramped up now:mad: not quite there but it is definitely arrived. I have to measure my chest again. I'm damn sure I added some more inches
●strength is still sub standard for me. Hoping for a huge increase soon to pick up where I left off last cycle.

Hungry like a bull now. Having a rarity available, a microwave, I warmed up what I call "the mix".

5oz hamburger
4 eggs
3 large slices of ham
Serving of kidney beans
Hot sauce all mixed together

And a cup of Dannon Greek yogurt with a banana and apple
Good for 95g protein and 960 cals

Another day of eating ahead
 
Thanks man. I wonder if I'll ever get there, seriously. Clearly my arms are not on the same plain as the rest of what I built. Very strange. Mo drugs mo sets no rest for the wikked
I feel ya.... My arms lag so far behind. What's worse, my shoulders are overly huge, making my bi's and tri's look THAT much smaller.

I started increasing the volume on my arms, and that helped a ton. If you're ever interested, Lee Priest's arm routine has added a ton of volume to my arms.

Ya I seen that protocol. He calls for absolute failure every set and also 20+ sets for bi and 20+ sets for tri. Supersets back n forth. I like it but. Idk

Simply right now I'm just adding reps and keeping close track. If you seen my own protocol I'm running arms 2x weekly for catchup. 200 reps total each for the week for bi and tri. Which is far more than I'm used too.

So let's see if we can both get these stubborn things to grow ;)

It's fucking brutal man.

The two that get me are tricep v presses SS w/ dips and preacher curls SS w/ underhand pullups. Those two are retarded.

Same here, my biceps have always lagged so i lowered weight added volume and tweeked a few things, and even on a trt dose im starting to see growth in my bi's. FINALLY [emoji4][emoji4]
