Nice, a little slipknot is good for the brain.
One of the best shows I've ever seen was Mudvayne, was awesome!

As for the dubstep....

Morning fella's!

Excellent workout last night, really killed my shoulders and triceps. It's day 3 of the DMZ and I can honestly say that I have noticed some strength gains already. I've been getting my lifting weights up slowely over the last two months after not hitting the gym crazy hard over the summer and last week I struggled with 75lbs DB's Military Press for 8 reps. Last night I was doing my regular three sets, started with 60's for 12, 70's for 10, then 80's for 10 and then I felt so good I smashed a last set of 90's for 8 solid reps, was awesome. Tri's felt stronger as well, that last two or three reps were lighter and I felt more determined. Focus was through the roof and although I was exhausted by the end, it was an awesome workout.

No sides to report aside from a monster appatite and getting a little grumpy if I don't get food in time. It's hard with 14 month old twin boys though, their hungry too and gets first dibs over Pops... lol Greek yogurt is my best friend right now...

Weighed in at 234.2 which is + 3.2lbs from yesterday, but this was after drinking some water, I forgot to weigh in upon arrival, either way, really happy in the very early stages of this solo cycle!

Will be doing some abs & forarms tonight, with a little cardio.

Listened to a little old school Slayer before the gym... War Ensamble!

Morning fella's!

Today marks the one week of this solo cycle. So far, not a whole lot to talk about, which is what I was expecting.

A couple notes: Some minor back pumps, nothing serious at all. Be carbing up a little and downing the taurine as recommended. Mood wise, I think everything has been in check, I do get grumpy fast when I'm hungry and can't get food right away. Appatite is through the roof. Water consumption has been good.

I was last at the gym on Saturday morning, did a pretty decent back workout. Am slowely ramping up my deads to where it once was. Did two warm-up sets, them went into a 5 sets of 5 platform, maxing out at 335lbs for a solid 5 reps. It was heavy, but I could have went up but decided not to.

As mentioned before, my strength has increase a LOT, every lift is up in weight and can push those last two reps with more ease.

Size wise, I've noticed everything is a little bulkier, t-shirts are a little tighter, but nothing crazy yet. I'm expecting more to come. One thing though, my muscles are always hard and much more so then before. My legs especially. My GF was rubbing my leg last night and was like, 'holy legs' so that was a good sign.

So far, almost through week one, i'm liking the Super DMZ and am looking forward to the next three!!

Will weigh in tonight.

last week I struggled with 75lbs DB's Military Press for 8 reps.

Bro you are 231lbs and you struggle with 75lbs db? At your weight you should be much stronger. Just saying

Ok bro, take it easy there...

I was smashing 100lb dbs for 10 reps back in April and will be there again soon, but I'm sure that's light weight for you too right...

Its a continuous work in progress, 75's last week for 10 solid, good form reps, 90's this week for 8 solid form reps, maybe 95's next... I don't see how body weight has a direct relationship to lifting weight anyways, I'm sure there are guy 170lbs that can outlift guys at 245lbs. I'm sure it helps, the bigger you are, more weight you can lift but I'm comfortable right now at what I lift.

Thanks for your worthy comment though... In fact, I'll take it as motivation and it will help me push a couple extra reps tonight!

I wasnt trying to bash you my man. I'm 5'6 185 and can smash 85's even 95's on a good day, but weight really isnt all that important as long as form is spot on I guess. I was just saying at your weight you should be throwing around some serious weight.

Sorry dude, Monday morning irritation at work... my apologies.

Thanks!

You know what, I haven't really set a weight goal as putting on some good size and weight is awesome, I'm really focusing on lifting heavy & increasing my strength. What ever weight I put on and mass is a bonus (an awesome bonus at that!).

Weighed in last night, 237.6! I was stunned, wasn't expecting that much this fast. But I do feel "on' now and my muscles are hard 24/7, almost feels 'pumped' all the time, especially when doing a little work around the house, etc.

No sides to report to date. Been an awesome week 1!! Eating pretty clean with the odd meal just to make sure I keep my calories up. Eating good carbs and tons of protein. Water is probably at 1 to 1.5 gallons a day.

Legs night tonight, been really feeling the burn and pump in my legs during this cycle, never felt this good south of the waist before so I am very happy about that.

Cheers,
Culler

Lookn' good so far bro!

So, feeling pretty good about how everything is working out thus far.

Hit Chest & Bi's on Monday, Legs on Tuesday, and Shoulders/Tri's last night. I've found that I get some huge pumps going throughout the workout, especially arms. Strength has gone up considerably. Hit the 100lb DB's for 6 solid reps last night for Military Press. Feels good to hit that weight again.

Body wise, I can see a difference in definition for sure. Around my delt's and traps is noticable. My lats have increased big time. Back feels more defined and 'muscular'. Legs for sure are coming along. Starting to get some never before had definition and I'm really excited about that. Shirts are a little tighted, arms have grown for sure, but I find my Tri's increase fast.

Mood wise, I feel nearly the same, not much to note. I get a little boost right after taking it, but thats about it. Once I get into the gym, I go crazy and just wanna lift, lift, lift which is awesome. No real lethargy to report yet, libido is still as good as ever, if not better. Appatite is off the charts, I don't think I am eating quite enough, weighed in last night just over 235lbs so that's down a little, will try and eat more over the coming days/weeks. No other sides to report at all.

Overall, feels a lot similar to H-drol when I ran it, I think I will feel it a bit more coming soon. Strength came faster with DMZ though, so I am expecting others to happen soon too. Liking everything so far, actually looking forward to feeling a little more of it kick in.

That's it for now.

So I ate like a horse yesterday, drank tons of water, and still didn't gain much which I am ok with. Looking in the mirror this morning, it almost looks as though I am a bit leaner around the stomach, which is what I want. Looking bigger, Lats have really come out along with my traps and shoulders.

I found last night the lethargy hit me just a bit. Nothing serious, but I had to force myself to get to the gym. Once I was there, I turned into a machine and didn't want to leave, which is one thing I love about this product, the pumps are INSTANT and intensity/focus is through the roof.

Last night was back, had a very good session. Did two warm-up sets of deads, then went for a 5-5 format. Heavy set was 355lbs for 5 good, solid reps, which I am really happy about. My PR is 405 but that is going back a number of years now and one of my goals is to hit the 400lbs mark by January which I seem to be on par with. A week ago, I would have struggled to get 355 up but didn't struggle at all last night, could have probably pushed a little more but I will jump up again next week.

Weighed in at 235.7lbs, like I said, ate tons yesterday and woke up this morning looking leaner and stonger. Very happy about it and i'm excited for this week to finish up and on to the last two weeks where I'm expecting to make some big gains both in appearance & strength.

I will hopefully post some before and after pics for anyone intersted in seeing any kind of a transition within the four weeks, and then again after PCT is complete.

Cheers,
Culler

Bro what happened to your log.

I ran superdrol for my first cycle and saw insane gains (went from 210-240 with maybe a 1-2% gain in bf, lifts went up ~75lbs ea). stayed at 235 for a solid 6 months before cutting.

Shit is not too advanced at all. fact is, as long as you do your homework you'll be fine.
