I said monster, not master.

Do not fret, I still know the weak spots, I just have chosen not to expose them yet.

I will probably use one or the other, when I do a short cut in a few weeks.

I am also thinking of adding PhenoGen back in to prevent (hopefully) fat gain.

Just wondering, given your caveman genetics, does absoloved or lipo work for you?

Twin Peak · 08-17-2004, 01:30 PM

Not as well as most folks report. And, oddly enough, there have been times when each has worked well, and times when I noticed very little.

Twin Peak · 08-17-2004, 01:57 PM

Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you about the shitty leg workout I had today. It was, well, shitty.

Leg presses went fine, but my right knee started acting up so I had to reduce the weight some, and then reduce it significantly for hacks.

I think its helping me with my pig out weekends. I'm maintaining and adding in refeed days on the weekend and I'm not gaining anything. I think Spook said that it won't do much for those that are already considered lean and trying to lose more bodyfat. I haven't tried it while dieting.

I did not help much when I was on vacation (I think my review is at the beginning of this thread).

But then I seemed to lean out quickly after when I resumed dieting. Spook hypothesized that it took longer than expected to kick in.

Or it could be the caveman genes.

Day 3, week 3. Chest, Back, and (light) Arms.

Well, I have finally regained the size, thickness and density that I normally carry. I haven't had that "look" for a while, but it is back. This workout paired with my regained drive in the gym has whipped that back in shape.

Now, if Novo could just remove that "steak and wine* hex....

Today was another intense workout. I upped the weight on inclines, so total reps were down, but that's okay. All other exercises, total reps increased from last week.

The arm part was interesting, because I a really thinking my arms do not have the sufficient rest time to grow. Despite that, I am still seeing regular and significant strength increases, so my arms are adapting. I might have to seriously split up this Arm Enhance, so that I its 3 weeks on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off. But I haven't decided yet.

Twin Peak · 08-18-2004, 07:31 AM

Oh, for anyone interested, we host live chats every so often on Avant, with various topics.

Tomorrow, I am hosting it at 10 pm Eastern, and the topic is Carb Cycling and TP-PT, and optimizing each.

I want to call a truce. We could try playing nice for a while instead, it comes more naturally to a sweetie like me anyway.

Or not - did you bite??

This way is much more fun. Oh, and Steve? It's a summer's evening with you right now, yes ... time for a little R&R outside on the deck ... some time at the grill ... warming a glass of red in your hand as you smell the juicy steak. And you just know how well a glass of port would go down after that, right?

Enjoy my friend, enjoy. It's really the only point to life.

Twin Peak · 08-19-2004, 11:38 AM

Gimp away little girl.

Your jealousy over my enjoyment of a nice glass (or bottle, or two) of Shiraz, does not phase me.

Day off today. Nuff said.

Novo · 08-19-2004, 09:15 PM

Please define "gimp" in this context, I am unsure how offended I should be? Thanks

Twin Peak · 08-19-2004, 10:25 PM

Done, thanks.

Twin Peak · 08-20-2004, 07:06 AM

Well, my arms are starting to look much more impressive -- when pumped. Today's volume workout was awesome. Strength was up on the first exercise, and down on the others -- likely because of the increased volume -- today was 5 sets per exercise, or 15 sets each for bis and tris. I was exhausted, and pumped, and it felt great, albeit draining. For the next 5-6 hours I will be eating a ton.

Well, I have decided that I need a week of rest next week to allow the arms to grow. I will post stats Monday, and then the following Monday. My rest week will include 4 low volume workouts staying away from failure using compound lifts and NO direct arm work. We shall see what happens.

Then I will complete weeks 4-6, then another similar rest/deload week.

Twin Peak · 08-23-2004, 10:05 AM

So this is my mid-arm-cycle-deconditioning-growth week.

Ahhh.

I woke up this morning bloated from the extra food and beverages of the weekend. In fact, I was up about 5 pounds, and my definition/vascularity was blurred. On the bright side, my arms were up a quarter inch, though this could just be the bloat. I am hoping, actually, that with the week off, next monday they will tape at 17 1/2 inches (which will be up 1/2 inch).

My decon routine today was two sets of each of the following:

Bench Press
Dips (wide)
Bent over lateral raises
Standing Barbell Press
Calves

Another lurker checking in. Actually, I was away for a while and haven't been lurking, but I'm all caught up now. Let the lurking recommence (that's "start again", Novo

).

I think he is just bored here at IM. We dont "tickle" his brain like the peeps over at Avant.

And Cap'n D? I speaka de English you cheeky bugger!

But I speak the proper version see, the Queen's own - not the Americanised nonsense. Hence sometimes I struggle. Even when our friend the legal eagle speaks (which is odd, I still maintain language should matter to him) ...
