Background .. 24yrs old more will be revealed through this log
I was going to wait until i started cycling to keep a journal on here but i can use some support right now.
Until today my life pretty much consisted of four things...
school (Kin major CSUB)
work (bartender)
going to the gym
the fourth thing was a girlfriend but today i found out she has been ignoring me for the last three days because she is now with another guy. We were together for about two years then we split one year ago, then we decided to work things out. for the last three months everything was great. and now she just up and left me for some other dude.
Is there anything more immasculating than that?
Anyways its hard to find motivation right now because i feel like everything i do is for the future and now when i think about where i will be years from now i just see nothing.
Right now i am cutting for 15% bf and as soon as I get below 12% i will cycle.
I hope i can get some support because weightlifting has significantly improved my life and i wold hate to quit now because of a temporarily broken heart.

Today i got up at the usual time and went straight to the gym.
I split my workouts by muscle groups.
Today I worked Shoulders, Traps, Abs, Serratus
I have three routines.
the other two are.
1. Chest, Tris, Calves, Leg/Thigh
2. Upper back, Lower back, Bis
On sundays I train outside and I am pretty creative with that.

hang in there bro i had a girl leave me after 3 years for another guy things will work out for ya. and lets get this journal started i wanna see some lifts and numbers. good luck

Posted by: sendit08

thanx for the support man ...
Its just good to hear stuff like that right now.
I will start posting weight and detailed lifts tomorrow.
I workout every day alternating routines like so....
mon- Upper Back, Lower back, Bis, (1)
tues - Chest, Tris, Calves, legs (2)
wed - Shoulders, Traps, Abs, Serratus (3)
thurs - 1
friday - 2
Sat - 3
Sunday - out door stuff like tire flips, hooking pushing my car aound the bball court, plus just random stuff that my training partner and i come up with.

you'll learn quick that the people around here are nice and are always willing to give advice and help you out.

Posted by: sendit08

the whole reason that i am cutting right now is because the last time that me and this girl split i lost total control of my BF. I was eating whatever whenever and missing workouts like crazy.
I am feeling pretty shitty right now.
Fortunately, too shitty to even hold down a cheat meal.

Posted by: sendit08

Jeeze! It is super hard to motivate myself to go to the gym this morning.
All i can think about is that biotch and how i got played.
Is there anything that should make me believe that not all girls are like this???
The guy that she left me for is my age (24) and he just left just split up with his 16 year old FIANCE less than a week ago.
Because of this the main thing that is going through my head is, when this dude screws her over will I be able to resist taking her back AGAIN?
I think the best thing to do here is force myself to go to the gym for my usual workout and see what happens...
Ill post my workout when i get back but it will probably look sluggish so cut me some slack

Posted by: sendit08

I have to admit when i arrived at the gym I didn't feel motivated at all.
Once a got through my warmup and start the heavy lifting my mind started to clear and for about 30 minutes I was able to focus on a workout.
I started with a deadlift pyramid.
135x20 ; 185x15 ; 225x10
follwed by bent over db rows
100lb dbs 2x10
reverse flys (sitting on incline with back bw my legs)
50lb dbs 2x10
seated rows ladder
140x8 ; 150x8 ; 160x8
pull downs
100lb 2x12 (wide grip palms forward)
85lb 2x12 (close grip palms facing backward)
incline unilateral curls
40lb 2x10 reg ; 30lb 2x10 hammer
Concentration curls
25lb 3x12
Straight leg deads
135lb 3x10
I think because I havent ate much yesterday or this morning due to feeling sick and kind of depressed I wasnt really up to 20 min hiit i usually end my workout with. So instead i just did some static stretching and left.

Oh man, that sucks! I feel your pain. Try to remember, that you aren't the first person this has happened to, and you will not be the last!

Look at it as her loss,and your gain. Because it would have been far worse, if you had been together longer. Use that feeling of indignance as fuel for your workouts. And you never know, you just may find another cutie in your gym.

Besides your 24. Your to young of a man to be whipped over a woman. I can promise you this, time heals all wounds, even despair...

Posted by: sendit08

thanks a lot IronAddict!!
Its amazing how releaved you can feel just by hearing others tell you its gonna be ok.
The good thing is that i am still making progress as I have expected and will start my cycle when i expected to start.

my buddy just called me up and said he was on the way to the gym.
so i met him there, spotted him a bit, then i went and did my hiit training.
NO WAY that i am letting this chick ruin what i have worked to hard for.
Now i just need to find a way to stop thinking about her... I have a night class tonight and i hope i can pay attention to the teacher.

Any tips on how to get my mind elsewhere... I have to do alot of studying and that is when i find myself obsessing over what i coulda shlouda woulda done differently and so on.

Like ironaddict said. Its a great strategy to fuel your workouts with the anger you gained from the relationship. Trust me. I do it all the time. Don't fret, over time you will start thinking less and less about her. There are literally billions of other fish in the sea. You will find one for you.

.

I will be following this journal. So don't let that chick bring you down.

Posted by: sendit08

Thanks for all of the support everybody.
I will be using this journal as motivation.
I hope to be entering some type of amateur bodybuilding competition sometime ether at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Not for any other reason than to just provide me with motivation and see where i stack up against other people who have worked as hard as I have.

Posted by: sendit08

Just got back from my night class... (theory of coaching hockey)
now that im newly single i was scoping out the girls and since we were mainly discussing Arod and how his confession will be viewed vs the denials of others the girls in the class were board as shit... my buddy that i sit next to and I caught a couple of them eye-fucking us. I almost forgot how sweet the single life can be

Posted by: sendit08

Just got back from the gym and I feel like pretty good... I was a little distracted because I have a Biopsychology test in about three hours and I am just now sitting down and cramming my ass off (well whats left of it after that workout)
Heres what I did...
usual warmup (5min super light elip, 10min of some bbal)
started with a Benchpress pyramid (85lbx20 135x20 185x15 225x7 225x7)
db bench (200x5 200x5) incdb bench (180x5 180x5) decdb bench (180x5 180x5)

Dips (BW 3x10)
Toe pushes/calf raises on lp machine (810x10 810x10 810x10) super slowmo
Treadmill slight inc 5min walk.
Squat Pyramid (135x15 185x15 225x15 285x10 315x5 315x5)
Instead of hiit training i got on the bike at steady pace so that i could read my biospsych textbook.
ended with some static stretching then left.

Good going!

These are the types of worries a 24 yr old should have. Right now, women are tertiary in importance. Finish your schooling, then the world is your oyster!

nice workout and i agree with ironaddict on the girls thing.

Posted by: sendit08

looks like I am a bit ahead of schedule in my progress.
It actually looks like I am putting on muscle during this cut.
Minimal amounts of muscle and not in all areas but its still coming in as the fat is coming off... (trust me, I can tell)
I use a caliper to track my BF. It may not be that accurate but I can still set short term goals based on milimeters of fat around my abdomen.
Based on the chart that came with the caliper I am currently 14% BF Which I think is pretty accurate. As soon as I get down to 12% on the chart I will start my cycle...
It is as follows.
Test prop (1-16) 400mg EW
Tren Ace (1-5) 300 mg EW
Tbol (6-11) 50mg ED
Tren Ace (12-16) 300mg EW
Might start Masteron at week ten... depending on my overall look by then.
The week before I start the cycle I will max in each of the big three so I can track my strength progress... I will also take some pics at that time aswell and continue to do so throught the cycle.
If all goes well I might use myself in my research paper on the personal use of AS for non performance enhancing reasons.

sentit08 - hope things start looking up soon for you bud.

Maybe I can give you a hand with your routine.

From the workouts youve posted so far it seems like your doing a bodypart split, with quite high rep ranges. This isnt really the best way to lift during a cut.

Would you mind posting the routine your using atm.

What sort of diet have you been following? Do you know how many cals youve been eating, and what your macro nutrients were each day?

the reason for this is because I have had an issue with my rc in that past. it only bothered me during sports but to prevent any type of injury I dont do all my pushing in one day

I normally stick to 5-8 reps in compounds and 7-10 in isolation type exercises (I feel when it comes to the smaller body parts i need at least seven reps to get to the deeper fibers)

Tomorrow I will post my third workout routine (of three total) I will include a large rep range because I expand my rep range every third mon,tues,and wed.
I hope that makes sense to you

I am currently cutting at 300-400 cals under maintance each day.
for me that is 21-2200 calories per day. I am taking in (apx) 225g prot, 70g fat. and carbs vary depending on what is convenient (if I am at school and have to pack a meal Ill usually throw some chicken or steak in some bread so that I dont need a fork) other than that I dont really eat too much carbs.
I get more than my fair share of caffeine but hey, I am a student with a part time job I need the caffeine sometimes.

I know I wrote a lot but after you read my responses please post any improvements I can make. I am always willing to change anything

Posted by: sendit08

I also get quite a bit of sodium... I never stopped to count the sodium but I know its above normal... I will track how much I take in tomorrow since it will be a normal day for me and post it... but if I have no reason to be overly worried about bp problems is there any reason i should avoid sodium. Does it effect cutting fat at all. I was thinking maybe it would cause you to retain water.

Posted by: sendit08

I was feeling pretty sluggish this morning and it didnt stop when I got to the gym. When I feel like this I usually will cut out some of the isolation exercises and focus on using the best possible form. If I have learned anything for sure about lifting it is that lack of focus leads to injury
warmup: some bbal + messing around on the punching bag (thought it may get me more focus and amped up)
Clean and press (135x15 185x10 185x10 225x5 225x5)
Seated barbell press (185x8)x3
Db shrugs (100x10)x3
Upright Rows cable (135x10 150x10 165x10)
Serratus pullover + situp on dec bench (45x15)x2 ; wish we had 100lb plates
leg lifts squeezing 10lb med ball (2x10) front, left, right
20 minute Hiit
static stretching
Now its time for my nutrition class. Last class the instructor started talking about how to "tone" your muscles in the gym. She was telling this to a couple of slightly overweight students near the front of the class (they asked). I figured if they are gonna get off their ass and go to the gym, I am not going to disagree with a theory right infront of them. Her exact words were lightweight many reps will tone the muscle and burn the fat in the specific area targetted. sheesh!

Posted by: sendit08

Posted by: Rubes11

I really wanted to max out on bench but I had no spotter. I think I could probably have done 4-5 reps at that weight on the first attempt. Next week I will drag my brother in and attempt 365 as a max.

you guys will appreciate this...
After my usual warm up I went to the power rack to start with deads and what do I see? A group of three guys who were using the smith machine next to it for what looked kind of like squatting but not sure you can call it that were literally using the power rack as a towel and coat rack. two sweaters, two hats, and three towels were hanging all over the rack. Needless to say I was not very polite about asking them to MOVE THEIR SHIT!!!

You know sendit. You can always ask random people at your gym for a spot.

I did on my bench max attempt... the only reason I hesitate to ask for a spot when squatting is because i would hate for someone to injure them self while helping me. i rarely go for a one-rep max anyway

my bad dude i totally thought i was in a different forum and u were someone else, who is looking to move out here where i am at.
I get confused when i log my workouts in two different places.
probably because i smoke entirely too much pot

on another note... i am restructuring my upcoming cycle and will be running DNP on a for 14 days in a 24day structured cycle before i start AS so I will be logging how that goes on here as well.

Posted by: sendit08

I will start my cycle exactly one week from today.
I have started my new routine that i will stick with thoughout my cycle.
I will alternate "style" of lifts based on a P/RR/P/S I add an extra P week to really add more strength during the cycle.

(4-13) Tbol 50mg ED
(1-13) T3 (75mcg)
(6,7,10,11) Clen (200mcg)
(14-16) PCT
Ill be running HCG and Nolva throughout the entire cycle and pct and i will introduce Clomid for pct as well.
I use a custom routine while i cycle that i started today.

very nice workouts man keep on workin hard

Posted by: sendit08

Forgot to log my workout yesterday... heavy deads everthing else was boring
I didnt that strong today
Started my DNP cycle. (200mg first thing in the morning)
Sweat a little extra during my workout

the fruit and coffee that i had for breakfast were more than enough to provide me with the energy for my workout but my strength was lagging a bit....

one more day of 200mg then i will run 400mg for seven days and let my body taper down.

Posted by: Rubes11

pretty nice workout for not feeling to strong.

Posted by: sendit08

Forgot about the extreme lethargy that comes with a this cycle.
I barely can get through my workouts. I decided to change my routine for the time being until I get through the DNP.
I will just go to the gym every third day and squat dead and bench only.
This should keep my major groups stimulated and help keep my muscle during this cut.
will start my AS cycle this monday... looking forward to smashing my PRs in every lift and putting on a good 40lbs of muscle

Posted by: sendit08

I will max out tomorow in bench squat and deads since i am starting a cycle on monday.
Update on DNP cycle...
I am down 2.5lbs at 202.5 right now and schooting for 190 ten days from now.
I want to drop as much fat as possible before i start this next cycle to I am pretty much on an all carb diet with one pw whey shake and one high protein meal before bed.
damn I hate cutting!!! just trying to keep my eyes on the prize!!!

Posted by: Rubes11

just keep on workin on what you want and you will get there you seem determined enough to get it.

Starting weight on DNP cycle: 205
current weight: 198
goal weight after cycle: 185

I was supposed to do my maxes today... I had a ton of homework so i didnt.
I will do them tomorow even though I am starting my cycle tomorow.
My cycle will be as follows
day 1-100 test prop 50mg ED
day 21-100 Ten Ace 50mg ED
day 61-100 Winstrol 50mg ED
HCG e5d (starting day 20) and proviron 50mg ED
Ill update on pct just before I start it!

Posted by: sendit08

I hate maxin out right before a cycle because an injury would seriously fuck everything up, but with that being said, I did it anyways...
started with a some warming up on the eliptical, getting my arms involved, with not too much resistance.
Bench Press
135x12
225x10
315x1
325x1
335x1
345x.5
... was hoping to get 345 up but ill smash that for sure in the next few months
after this I got on the bike for about 5 mins just to take a rest and get my blod flowing to my lower body...
Deadlifts
225x5
315x1
405x1
425x1
... barley got to full extension on this attempt... no need to try more weight... I am happy with this max... after this I walked on an incline until my brother got to the gym to give me a spot for my squat max.
Squats...
315x3
405x1
455x1
475x1
... I have been workin on getting my deadlift above my squats but I have been squatting for about a year longer than I have been deadlifting (because of pure ignorance)
Totally happy with how today went and I cant wait to smash all these maxes in exactly 100 days.
I most like will not max while I am cycling because an injury would be a major waste of super valuable time.

Posted by: sendit08

will get back in the gym tomorrow morning (start back on my cycle routine)
I weighed in at 197.5 this morning

that sux because i have been going to hell on this dnp cycle.
I can see that I am loosing fat though but I know I am putting on some water from the test and that is why the weight number isnt dropping as fast as id like it too.
hopefully i can get some pics up here sometime soon but I need to get a computer that has a workable usb port.

alright well im off do some some hit on my treadmill.
until next time!!!!!!!!!!!

edit...
it may look as though my strength is decreasing but when I cycle I stray away from "explosive" (dont know if that is the right word) motions and really slow down my motion during lifts so that each muscle group is stressed for longer periods of time. Through experimentation this is what works for me!

Its crazy because when i do these types of workouts where I take little breaks in between reps and go through the absolute full ROM (even with some exaggeration) The fatigue always hits me about one hour after the workout.
I am completely spent right now from that workout but I felt energized immediately after.

thats just kind of wierd to me!

Why don't you join twenty four hour fitness already, I know you work late and the great thing about it is you can go after and be one of less than 5 people in the free weights section and not have to wait on anything.

I go during the day from time to time, it's packed but having eye candy to look at is always nice. Sucks when you get wood and are wearing thin shorts or pants though. That'll sure force you to sit on the equipment and think about baseball until moving on to the next exercise.

I pay 30 a month but can add another person for 18 more a month. Plus having someone to help me push my intesity would be nice. But with my weird work schedule that wouldn't be on a regular basis.

Also i hear In shape is really nice, not sure if In Shape City on white lane and stine is the same thing though. Both have full size swimming pool, spa's, saunas, ect. I'd go there myself but my buddy works at the one out in rosedale that is brand new and i don't want to drive that far plus they actually close unlike 24. Kinda sucks cause he can get me a really good discount too.

well once i transfer to University in may I will be using the facilities at the University.
It will be free for me, plus with my internship, I will be teaching some classes in there as well (not sure which ones yet), I will be doing some personal training there too.
I will consider getting a 24hr membership though for latenight workouts. that might come in handy to blow off some steam late at night.

that's the only reason i even go there besides it being close, i really hate going in the day. I hate crowds anywhere but especially at the gym.

ive been running at or under maintance for so long that the refeed made me feel like a freak. I went insane and decided to go crazy with the volume. Ill do this a couple of times a month, because sometimes I just feel like I need to blow off some steam .
plus its really not that crazy only four different lifts one hundred reps each but ten minute breaks in between lifts and two to three minute breaks in between sets helps me get through it.

ive heard plenty of different theories on the pros and cons of high volume training.
personally, when I am on a cycle like I am now I feel like there is no limit to the growth that I can achieve if I ate all that I could. Since I am cutting the AAS are mainly being used to keep a lean muscle growth rate, similar to what I get while bulking off cycle, while running a caloric deficit (500 below maintanance plus clen and t3). So when I go through a refeed, which I do frequently mainly for the comfort of it (i am definately an emotional eater) I want to take full advantage of the extra calories that I am taking in. so on the second day of my three day refeed I pump up the volume and go beast mode in the gym.
I have done alot of experimenting with my body when it comes to routines and dieting and I feel like I have a pretty good grip on how to maximize my results.
If I could offer you advice it would be to change things up frequently and keep very detailed records of your results. this will allow you to get to a point where you can manipulate your entire lifestyle to maximize the benefit you get from lifting.

Its been over three years since I first started this Journal and I have been just itching to start logging again!!!
Quick intro about me...
I am currently a chef at a high end resort style hospital. (I will be posting recipes as I share my diet with everyone)!!
I wanted to continue on this same journal because I really want to get my strength up to, and maybe even surpass where I was when I first started this journal.
I have been going natural for over a year now and I am just where I want to be, both physically and mentally, to start a new cycle and kick off 2012 with a bang...
Ill log tonights workout later on today and add a link to my upcoming cycle structure that I will post later tonight in the Anabolic forum...

Please feel free to add your input to everything I do!
I missed the whole Ironmag Familia a great deal and I am excited to restart this log/journal!!

I'm not going to hard in the gym right now. My calories are low because I am trying to drop as much body fat as possible until I feel like I look ready to start my cycle.

--Warmup:
Abs 100 reps
10mins light jog on incline
--Workout:
T-bar Row 2x(90lbx12)
Bent Over Rows 2x(95x12)
SLDeads 3x(135x12)
Upright Rows 2x(75x16)
--Cardio:
5000meters rowing on the machine

I am going to post my upcoming cycle soon, I am looking forward to hearing some feedback on my plans.

Posted by: sendit08

100 day cycle in detail:

(1-40) – 100mg Test Suspension
(1-30) – Metha-Drol Extreme
(31-70) – 75mg Test Prop, Tren Ace, Drost Prop
(41-100) – 105mg Anavar (devided into three doses)
(61-80) – 25mg Winny
(1-100) – Advanced Cycle Support
(1-100) – E-control RX
(1-70) – .5mg Arimidex eod
(1-68) – hcg 200iu eod, (69-70) 1500iu each day
(71-100) – Clomid 50mg
(71-100) – Melatonin2 .5mg (twice daily)

I will not start this cycle until I manage a few body fat issues that I have right now.
My current goal to start the cycle is to just cut from my current weight 226 to 215. IMO I will be right under 15% body fat. (im 5'10-11”)

Over the years I have tried various weight loss methods and while some have even proven themselves to be particularly effective, my appetite always seems to blast through the roof. Its debateable whether or not the appetite would be a positive side effect for me during a cycle of aas I feel that i can control my eating much better without them. With that said I am willing to try any suggestions that I think make sense.
Does anybody else share that perspective?

Hard abs and Cardio

HIIT treadmill...
5 sets of 1min sprint followed by 4mins light walking.
Abs...
seated crunch machine 5x50 (100lb resistance)
HIIT stationary bike...
same sequence as earlier.
Lower abs...
hanging leg lifts 3x20

I didnt feel too tired after my workout but I resisted the temptation of doing to much.

Todays dinner: 1 large salmon steak & two large cod fillets (split into two dinners 2 hrs apart) I pan sear the fish on top of my barbeque outside because I cant stand it when my house smells like fish all night lol!!

Posted by: sendit08

Nothing but cardio for the last coupe days...
I feel like I am about 3 weeks out of where I want to be to start this cycle...
I am getting ready to post up some pics on here because I definately want to log the transformation!
Still looking for some feedback on my cycle, maybe a few suggestions or critques?

Hey thanks for some feedback dude, I knew I wasnt talking to noone lol. Its good to be back! I honestly forgot how much motivation keeping a log on here gives me....

I definitely hope to be fairly shredded by the time cycle is over and I have some melatonin on hand because I friend of mine had some and he owed me money lol now its mine!
Im Italian so im not super white but I think that the melatonin might give me a littler more of a "shredded" look. I have also heard/read that it may help with my skin. I have some large stretch marks that my first cycle left on me and I'm hoping it might minimize the visibility of those.

Today I am going to the gym during the first half of the super bowl!
I figure it to be pretty dead to I can get some serious reps in.

I got my gear last night and it made me want to wait a little longer to start my cycle.
I definitely feel like I need to be as close to 10% BF as I can before I start.
With the depth of my cycle being what it is I feel like the lower the bodyfat percentage the less of a risk of unwanted estrogenic sides.

Posted by: sendit08

the gym was completely dead during the super bowl. It was kind of nice to have the whole place to myself.

Abs:
100 crunches with 25lb plate
Cardio:
Hiit of the bike for the entire first quarter
Back:
bent over rows (75lb dbs) 3 sets of 12
T bar rows 90olbs 1 set of 20
Lat pull down 100lb 3 sets of 20,18,18
Sumo deads 225lb 2 sets of 10, 315 1 set of 6 (It pains me to look back and see how much I lifted but I am getting ther quickly)

Upright rows with cable 140 3 sets of 12
I really wanted to end with hypers because I recently read an article in AM forum about them and realized ive neglected them for a while.
but I was cramping Im pretty sure because I barely got any calories yesterday. (fell asleep before dinner)
anyways, I will do them during my leg day since I do sld's that day anyways.

It was a good day all in all except I was rooting for the pats but whatever these guys deserved it too!

Posted by: sendit08

I am going to train my wheels tomorow so I warmed up today by doing some lightweight leg presses. A lot of reps just to see where I am at and make a plan for tomorrow.

my chest routine today was inspired by a youtube video that I watched Phil Heath training chest...

decline.
70lb DBs press, 30lb flys, take 120 second and repeat
flat bench
same as decline
incline
same thing
I ended with the peck deck 7 sets of 10 at 50lbs and it kicked my but. My tris were burning so much I just hopped on the bike for a cool down without even isolating them.

Posted by: sendit08

So in about a week I am going to end this log and start a new one in the Gear Depot section because I have all of my goodies and Ill be ready to go.
Ill be on a hardcore cut for the first three or so weeks. then I will go straight into the glory!

Today I trained legs.
My gym only has one station for squating and it was full with these three guys doing power cleans and upright rows.
I ended up doing a pyramid on the leg press.
And I ended my workout with the stair climber, 20mins.
That was all and I could barely walk out of the place!

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

moving forward
