Hello!

24K and sarms1.com were generous enough to let me log their LGD-4033 and SARM S4 - even though I haven't yet "proved" myself on this specific board. Thanks for giving me that opportunity, I'll try to do my best with this log!

A few words about me, my training, diet and goals to get this log started:

Me:

Many of you probably don't know me as I haven't been here for long. However, some of you may recognize me from other boards like AM, PHF and UK-Muscle.

I'm 24 years old wannabe powerlifter from Europe. I've trained since 2008 and I turned to the "dark side" last autumn - been only using low doses so far. After I heard that I was selected to log this stack, I dropped all other compounds so right now I'm just on 200mgs of test per week. I'll start SDMZ2.0 on 4th of February too to get ready for my next meet.

I've only done just one meet before - because of minor injuries I was only able to do deadlift there. I pulled 480lbs @ 179.5lbs there.. Wasn't really happy with my result and I knew that if I want to be really competitive some day, I need to get my squat and bench up too. That's when I started to work with a coach.

My training looks like this right now:

1. squat + bench + assistance work
2. rest or HIIT cardio
3. deadlift (every other week heavy deadlift and every other week light speed/form work) + bench + assistance work
4. rest or HIIT cardio
5. squat + bench + assistance work
6. bodybuilding for lats, biceps, delts and calves
7. rest or HIIT cardio

However, I've had some serious problems with tendons of my both biceps so I'll probably do bench press only once a week for next week or few and not go as heavy on bench as I'd usually go. I don't want to get injured.

Diet:

I can eat pretty much anything without putting on too much weight so I don't have any diet set on stone. However, I have few things that I'll eat every day. Example of my training day's diet looks like this (and this is also a goal diet for training days):

1. 250 grams of quark, 900 grams of yoghurt, 10 grams of peanuts
2. Intra workout drink (2.25dl of maltodextrin and 9 grams of BCAA's)
3. Post workout shake (1.25dl of whey protein and 1.25dl of maltodextrin)
4. 100 grams of whole grain rice, 200 grams of chicken/beef/salmon, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
5. 4 slices of dark, bread, 3 boiled eggs, butter, ham, vegetables, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
6. 100 grams of whole grain rice, 200 grams of chicken/beef/salmon, 4dl of milk, 10 grams of peanuts
7. 250 grams of quark, 900 grams of yoghurt, 10 grams of peanuts

Many of you may wonder "why so much carbs?" Well, because I can! I don't put on weight easily and high carbs makes me love every minute in the gym. On rest days I eat the same except no malto, no BCAA's and no whey protein so 210 grams less carbs and 40ish grams less protein.

Goals for LGD-4033/SARM S4 stack:


I train primarily for strength, not for size. However, I'll compete in 181lbs weight class and now I weight about 175lbs so gaining few pounds (and maybe losing some bodyfat) during the process would be great.

Squat and bench today again.
 
Im really looking forward to your results here bro... Good luck with the cycle... I am certain you are going to do great!
 
Day 1

Workout:


- Bench press
5x45lbs
5x90lbs
5x130lbs
4x150lbs
2 sets of 3 @ 180lbs
2x200lbs......

- Squat
5x110lbs
5x185lbs
4x220lbs
2 sets of 3 @ 260lbs
5 sets of 2 @ 295lbs

I had to stop it there. I was supposed to do 9 sets of 2 @ 200-235lbs on bench and plenty of front squats, good mornings, weighted dips and DB flyes but pain in my bicep tendons became too intense... They have pained me for almost a month now and it's making me angry.

Here is my gameplan to fix my arms:

- I'll be taking 400mgs of ibuprofen three times per day for week or so
- I'll be applying Voltaren Forte twice per day for week or so
- I will NOT do bench press or any assistance work for it for at least 2 weeks
- I will not do front squat, weighted chin-ups
- I will not do any direct bicep work
- I will train upper body with high reps and minimal rest between sets in order to minimize stressing my bicep tendons.

Hopefully I'll be able to train upper body hard in 2 weeks. I'm just tired of this pain so taking a break for upper body training is only sensible thing to do at this point.

Other notes: appetite has been great today!

Day 3


Morning weight: 177lbs (+2lbs)

Training session: deadlift speed work

- Deadlift without belt, overhand grip with no straps
3x155lbs
3x200lbs
3x245lbs
2 sets of 2 @ 295lbs
4 sets of 2 @ 340lbs

- DB lunges
5 sets of 5 @ 22's

Nice and easy. Speed was great even though I pulled with overhand grip without straps. I'm easily stronger in deadlifts than I've ever been before. If I can pull 5x485lbs next week (that would be personal best, +5lbs and +4 reps), I'll sign up to a meet.

Back pump was intense once again. I forgot to add taurine to my intraworkout drink. Legs were pumped even though I didn't train them - I do lunges only because I feel that they speed up my recovery from heavy squats and deadlifts.

Arms are feeling good. Deadlifts didn't feel bad at all.

Tomorrow will be rest day with few minutes of HIT (won't report it here if it doesn't feel special somehow) and I'll squat on Saturday - I'll do some assistance work too. Hopefully I'll manage to videotape it for you guys.
 
I'm pumped to see your progress. I couldn't believe how much strength I got from LGD and s4. Wow, what a combo
 
man...those DL's are nice considering your weight...And shit...Yes, thats a lot of carbs.
 
Ill be following for sure brother. I have yet to actually run LGD, so I cant wait to see the results you get.

Glad to have you here!

Thanks! Gotta work my bench and squat to the same level but that will take years of hard work. My body loves carbs... Every workout is great when glycogen storages are full!

Day 4

Morning weight: 178lbs (+3lbs)

No gym today, just HIIT.

I may need to reconsider my plans to compete in 181lbs weight class. I seem to put on weight pretty fast right now... I'm sure that I'll get up to 198lbs class in the future as I'm way too skinny to 181lbs weight class so I could as well do it this spring?

BTW, I measured my waist today. It's 33.8". I've lost 1.5 inches in the last few months while gaining lean mass and strength.

SLDL's are one of my favourites too. They helped me to get my regular deadlift up to where they are now.

I was in the army in spring 2012 and I injured my back there... I was about 150lbs and pulling 440lbs then. Couldn't do deadlifts or squats in more than a year - until summer 2013 I started to build my way up with SLDL's. I did one set of 5 per week, started at 135lbs and added 10lbs each week. Few months later I was able to SLDL 8x400lbs which was more than I had done in regular deadlifts... Then I decided that my lower back is strong enough for regular deadlifts, lol :D

SLDL's can really add some size to hamstrings too, but I think building a strong core is where they really shine - especially if your muscles do work all the time until you've finished your set. IMO SLDL's are better to do without touching the floor.. Core is continously under tension when you do them that way.

Here is an old vid of me SLDL'ing 6x375lbs. 2 weeks later I did 8x400lbs while weighing about 170lbs.

 
For some reason your vids dont play for me bro.. but I get it. I can actually SLDL more then I can deadlift. I wanted to develop my hamstrings more and that has started to do the trick

Damn... Are you trying to watch them with your phone? Maybe mobile app works?

SLDL's can really help with developing upper back too if weights are heavy enough. Usually most people just use very light weight in it even though they could go heavier and still keep the form in check.
 
I can see all of the other vids on my phone so not sure what the deal is there

Day 6

Bodybuilding session:


- Cable pulldown on incline bench, 30 degree angle:

12x45lbs
12x55lbs
12x70lbs
12x80lbs
12x90lbs
12x100lbs -> drop to 70lbs and 60 degree angle (8 reps with that weight and few assisted reps) -> drop to 45lbs and partial reps "Coleman's 21" style with that weight

- Facepull
5 sets of 6 reps

- DB side lateral raises
5 sets of 6-15 reps, 2 drops in last set

- Seated calves
3 straigh sets of 8 reps

Awesome workout. Pump was just crazy after those cable pulldowns and side laterals. And there was two hawt bishes in the gym so blood started to flow to my man parts too. Awesome.

Squats tomorrow again. Gotta tweak my next weeks training sessions a little because we'll go to visit my girlfriends parents. My girl will also fly to Turkey in 8 days and stay there for 4.5 months because of her studies - that means that I'll have hard times, lol :D

My biceps haven't pained me since the last time I tried to do bench press. Maybe I'll be able to start benching again in a week or so.

Oh, and I heard yesterday that I'm eligible to compete in national powerlifting championships here April 5th. I'm excited.
 
Day 7

Training session:

- Squat

4x155lbs
4x185lbs

2x330lbs (personal best!)


- Paused leg press

5 sets of 5 @ 310lbs

- Good mornings

5 sets of 5, went up to 165lbs

Nice and easy once again, strength is definitely up. Vid will be up soon.

My arms are hurting again... I'll call the doctor tomorrow. It would be nice to find out whether something is broken or if they are just overstressed (or how ever you say it in English).

Rest tomorrow and heavy-ass-deadlifts on Wednesday! Stay tuned!
 
Sucks man.. I hate dealing with injuries like this

Yeah... It's just weird that BOTH arms started acting up at the same time so I don't think that it is anything but overstressed muscles and tendons...

Well, it's good as long as I can squat and deadlift. Who wants muscular upper body anyway, lol :D
 
man you must have some fa king legs on you buddy. shit.
