10wk Test Log

[waterstill]

Doc says not to worry about the abscess, it's on the way out.

BP was 110/60...thought test/dbol was suppose to elevate my levels...? this is worrisome.

Sides vary from person to person, so it could be nothing more than you not getting the sides some people get. I know the gear isn't bunk, because tons of us have used it and loved it.

Can you give us a breakdown of your diet and just how you feel so far in terms of strength, libido, stamina, etc.

I'm not sure how the gym does it. There was 2 types of services offered. A detailed body comp or just a regular bf calculation. I'd imagine calipers or the grip-squeeze thing?[/QUOTE]
how accurate is this? i feel its not correct

 

[bigbenj]

Cool

So I've been told as well. I guess it isn't accurate at all.

We just took my measurements 3 times at each location and divided by 3 for the average (with calipers)

i wasnt trying to say i dont agree with you i was just curious becuase i did this the other day and i think im higher then what it stated it just wanted to see what you guys thought mine said 11% but i think im more around 13-14 and my friend said 6% but i think hes more around 9-10

 

[waterstill]

Not sure if you saw my edit but I added that I had it done by a trainer with calipers. They told me the hand grip method was garbage.

Not sure if that's the one you used?

no sorry i didnt pay much attnetion i used the shitty hand grip thing. i knew it wasnt to accurate. ill get it done in a week or 2 the right way and see where i really stand.

I hate calipers. At six percent your boy should be shredded to the bone.

Say he's 200lbs. That means there's only 12lbs of fat on his entire body.

At least you're not one of the guys who will argue til they're blue in the face saying that the calipers don't lie

[waterstill]

Ben mentioned he wanted to get an idea of my diet..well I let loose today lol. The pizza and chinese food isn't a common feature. I've had a steak a day for dinner the past 2 weeks.

Took a picture of said chinese food with my phone but I guess it didn't take. I don't know for sure if that information is accurate I just searched chinese food and that was the first result...but I had a huge portion of chicken and broccoli, 4 small pieces of battered chicken, white rice and a small roll...So I assume My cals, carbs to be higher than noted

[waterstill]

Got a ton of subscribers but only a few chime in?

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/critiques?

Thoughts on pinning 1.5cc in delts? I want to avoid glutes for a week or so.

 

[suprfast]

My suggestion would be to lower the reps for a few and work on super heavy sets. A lot of your weights seem a tad low to have started a cycle.

185 on flat bench has me worried.

haha you got it twisted bro! It was a german volume routine. 10 sets of 10 with 60 seconds in between sets. You're suppose to use ~60% of your max. Give it a shot- it was interesting. It's the first time I've ever done it, if you look to the beginning of the log you'll see I was doing sets/reps of 225/235 before my cycle

 

[suprfast]

Gotcha, I figured you were on some sort of routine.

Im not expert about any of it though.

 

[waterstill]

Got a similar lookin lump on my shoulder, same area as inject about 1.5-2 weeks ago? Not as bad/swollen red..maybe a pimple- whatever I don't care

Volume!

 

[Movin_weight]

Your cycle sounds like it's going about as well as mine did, altho I did gain roughly 1.5% bodyfat with no real net change in weight

 

[waterstill]

Yep, 39 days or 5.5 weeks since my first pin. Still waitin for something. Guess I'll change up my routine and see if that helps.

 

[suprfast]

Its a basic cycle and I think you are expecting a lot to magically happen, much like I was. You need to change your workout routine. I really think you have a lot of volume and not really pushing the weights as hard as you should be. You are finishing each and every one of your 10+ reps in all of your sets, which is telling me its too easy. Lower the reps to 5-8 and push the weights up.

you said you were lifting a lot heavier at the beginning and now you are lighter?!?!?! Regardless of what routine you are setting up there is no real reason for this. If you were repping 225 in the beg, get back to repping 225 and work on hitting 275.


Lets start seeing some of the following:

bench press
185 x 10
205 x 10
225 x 7
245 x 5
265 x 2(but man I sure pushed hard and my spotter was making sure I struggled)

Now none of this applies if you are looking to continue a really high volume system. Maybe this is what you want but by the sounds of it you really want to start pushing more weights.

Side note, I used the bench as an example and my bench blows. I am a leg guy as you will note from my logs. I love 900lb leg presses and 365lb squats in the same session while maxing my reps out of 275 in bench(its low I know)

I appreciate the input bro. Was doing the extra sets/reps cause I didn't feel like I killed the muscle. Will implement changes moving forward.
