Road to 260

[Plang]

Anarchy is by VPX....it's their 1MR/Jack3d type pre workout product...it jazzes me up pretty good and I get a good pump

Recellerator is by betancourt nutrition it's an intra/pwo type product.....bcaas, creatine(s), whey, waximaize...etc....I just happened upon a ton of free sample of it

Wow...it's been getting better for me....a local supplement store is going to give me $150 bucks a month in supps innexchange for wearing their t-shirts when i workout at the local gym....it may just be peanuts compared to a lot of guys but it makes the sacrifices lately more legit....I feel almost like I don't deserve it but it definitely motivates me to live up to the potential some think I have....

The overall? That's awesome...when is the southern states? That's a big tough show...270 at 5'9...cripes...u do any cardio right now? That's gotta be rough to move around at that weight...Which isn't a bad problem
For bodybuilding

$150 a month for wearing a shirt?! That's awesome! I get a nice discount, but nothing for free. Southern States is July 8th and 9th. A friend of mine is helping me with my prep. He won the show a few years back on the way to his pro card. When I look in the mirror I don't see the potential and told him I was thinking of doing another show, but he insisted I'll do well. He's also helping me as finances are a little tight right now. He gave me 5mg of IGF and said he'll continue to help as long as I do the show. I feel VERY heavy, but I feel alright other than just the weight, not like when I was 260 on 3g of test. I don't do any cardio right now as I have a very fast metabolism.
You're definately training smart. Injuries can happen so quickly. I train relatively heavy, but I do high reps for a lot of stuff. Like I did 3 plates a side on the Wide Hammer last workout, but did 24 reps. I also pre exhaust chest with an isolation movement to keep weights reasonable.
I'm really enjoying the log! Keep it up!

Height/weight comparisons....so u at 270 is like me at 305! U got plenty of time...i don't think not having enough muscle will be an issue

Had to change plans today and workout back width as my low back has been giving me issues....mainly because of the car I'm driving right now....when I'm smaller it's ok....right now it's giving me issues....(done with excuses for the day ha ha) plus I want to hammer triceps and hamstrings really hard and tommorow is my gf birthday so I probably won't work out and it will give me am extra couple days post chest so I can hit close grips and dips a little harder for tris....btw it's her 21st.....................good to be me.

I'm very happy with how my progress has gone as I'm not lifting super heavy at this point.....and accruing a nice amount of muscle relative to what weight (poundage) I used before at this same bodyweight (230)....it's more water...but not a ton (i get fat guy face at 10%) it's quite possible 6mgs melatonin is too much forme to take before Typing in my journal.

My no longer underage girlfriend (silly girl likes older look bald guys...good for my old looking 27. She just joined the forum...VAC)

Filling out a bit

Little more roundness

I think you are progressing nicely- but I wouldn't say that an eventual goal of 270 isn't out of the window- its really a combination of eating training, and supps... you just have to find the right combo.. I am trying to get to 300 and its although its harder as you get older, I believe any goal thats planned has a chance of succeeding. Keep up the great work.

You could definately hold 270. You just take up more space and clothing becomes impossible to find. I never dreamed I would be this heavy... you just keep progressing and one day you're there.
Your girl is VERY cute. She could definately do well in competition, however, I'm very jaded when it comes to that.
With your structure, you would be a total freak at 270. I don't know when your next show is, but you can get there pretty quick with the right combo and training.

Had to alter the workout today as my lower back has been giving me fits since I got back over 225...no Romanian dls or a hack squat machine stiff leg. Just going to give my lower back a good week to rest and work a little abs...which i'm sure will help....I've done about 10 ab workouts in my life and probably only 2 the last two years....part of the reason I think my waist is small....but every now and than I need some direct work since I hav a long torso it puts a lot of stress on my back during certain movements....which helps lower back development...but it also puts a lot more stress on it too....a buddy of mine gave me the rest of his liquid cialis...i took half a dose pre workout...holy he'll did I get a good pump....i wonder long term how taking a low dose of Viagra or cialis would affect gains? It's like an NO product on steroids...ha ha

For some reason tonight I can't remeber what I ate (well I know why)....but I ate a lot and good...had one of my weeknd "cheats" at a place called qdoba...it's like chipotle...dunno if it's a chain....they had "light" sour cream so that makes it 100% healthy....ha ha...still trying to give my low back a rest but that really limits my movements...but all in all the way my legs feel tonight indicates a solid workout.....the liquid cialis not only contributed to several "warm up workouts" with the gf today but a killer pump on legs....actually quite excruciating....i wonder if that would be something long term to incorporate on days working a lagging boypart....because the fascia has to be stretched being pumped up so much.....it is a painful painful way to do legs

One leg leg press
3p/side x 10
4p/side x 10
5p/side x 10
5p/side x 10
5p/side x 10 (any heavier i think is too much preside on the knee joint...at least one leg for my joints which tend to be on the smallish side)

Leg extension
10 sets of 20 with 30 seconds rest between sets with half the stack (volume is what killed me here...but I made the tempo so that each set was to positive failure...more than anything trying to get the maximum pump/tension)

Thighsolator machine (hack squat-ish type machine...selectorized)
Stack x 10
Stack x 10
Stack x 10 (done first I could do about 20 reps but my quads were toast at the time)

Weight was 238 (5 or 6 is water...ankles holding some water...this happens on gh sometimes when my igf-1 levels get high...and now since upping some pep dosage I started retaining wter in the ankles sunday)

Ate 5500 cals


Workout wasn't worth writing down...I actually had fantastic "feel" during my workout but due to tweaking my rotator cuff i was pausing and squeezing with moderate weight.

I decided to forgo writing my entire diet out...because I'm lazy....sonewhat frustrating workout...I felt good a d strong going into it...but while warming up on incline barbell I felt that sane slight pop/slip and decided free weights weren't in the cards today...I've just put on muscle and weight so fast (a lot of muscle memory..but this is a different 240...much more round)...my body has been getting little tweaks almost every workout....and now I'm goin to have to train around this shoulder for a while...but I won't let this slow me down...just taking a detour....

I love the hammer strength incline press, I drop the seat all the way down and I feel it a bit higher up in the chest than a regular incline, then sometimes ill do the smythe following on a 30 degree angle. I have never felt the wide grip hammer where im supposed to feel it. I always feel it in my armpit no matter how heavy or light i go.

That's where I put the seat too...I grab the wide press actually very close...I feel it on the contraction more than anything
