Better Than Ever

[Triple Threat]

I've never pulled a crap in my traps before. I hope it's not an indicator of anything.

Now I know where you got the idea for that other thread.

I hate you. I hate you so very much.

Workout Type 3: It Looked Easier On Paper

I did T-Bars for the first time in a very long time. I did okay, but I expect my numbers to grow steadily.

My goal with pull-ups it to do 10 reps straight. I have a long way to go. I did 5 sets of 1 rep and then had to switch to negatives for 5 reps. On the upside, I have plenty of room for improvement...

Oh, and I took a short break between the normal and negative reps because I saw a bug on the outside of the window screen. I captured it and fed it to my venus flytrap.

At the end I'd planned on doing some knuckle push-ups. Not. Gonna. Happen. My back and delts were torched. I'll give 'em a go next time.

Mission Aborted

I tried to do my type 1 workout today (legs) and it just didn't happen. On the seventh set I became way too unstable and called it a day.

The reason that I performed so badly was this morning's Krav workout. I have never do a workout with so much leg work. Right leg kicks until I tell you stop! Left leg kicks until I tell you stop! Now double right kicks! Double left kicks! No pretend that the bag just called your mother a whore and both your arms are broken!

My legs were shot coming into the workout and it showed. An epic fail.

On a note completely unrelated to the previous post...

I have a...friend. This friend likes to lift hard and heavy. But he also does a marital art. He does...tai chi. Yeah, tai chi... And this work load is just crushing him to the point where his weight lifting is suffering pretty badly.

Anyway, hypothetically speaking, let's say this friend has enough prohormones to choke a horse. Actually, he's got enough to choke several horses...and a donkey...and maybe a cat. Or, at least, a pygmy marmoset.

Do you guys think it would be wise for him to do a three week cycle of 10mg of M1T?

 

[Mista]

Mission aborted lol.

I hate those days. Usually for me it's when I attempt to go on Saturday morning still running on vodka.

 

[Witchblade]

The cycle won't solve your problem. It'll only give a temporary boost.

You'll need to manage fatigue in order to solve your problem.

Nah! Flat ass. Flat chest. Narrow hips. "She" is probably a man too.

For a moment I thought you were going to talk about sex.

Drunken weight training. I'd pay money to see that!

Yeah, I know. But I'd just like to go full steam for a few weeks. I figure that between the weights and the Krav, I'd make great gains. And when I went off (after PCT) doing both would be easier than before.

You suck.

Be careful M1T is the strongest shit you can take. Also make sure you have a REAL anti estrogen/ armotaze inhibitor. Whats your weight and what does your diet look like? What's the PCT plan? Lay out your full workout schedule and doseing idea.

My plan is to take 5mg of M1T for the first week and then bump it up to 10mg for the remainder of the time. I have 5mg pills, so I'll go one pill before whatever my first workout is (weights or krav). When I go to 10mg, I'll take it twice a day.

I'll also be doing 5 sprays (200mg) of 4-DERM morning and night.

I'll also be taking 1000mg of saw palmetto for any blood pressure problems and 1500mg of hawthorn berry for the prostate.

It case things start to go tits up, literally, and for PCT, I have Nolvadex (tomoxifen citrate), aka liquid ass.

For PCT, I'll do Nolvadex at 60/40/40/20mg. I'll continue on with the saw palmetto and the hawthorn berry, as well.

I currently wight in at 215 or so. My diet is about as good as it's ever been, which is just okay.

My workout plan:

Monday AM: Krav
Monday PM: Weights

Tuesday AM: off
Tuesday PM: Krav

Wednesday AM: Krav
Wednesday PM: Weights

Thursday AM: off
Thursday PM: Krav

Friday AM: Weights
Friday PM: off

Saturday AM: Krav
Saturday PM: off

Sunday AM: off
Sunday PM: off

I'll also try to fit in some bag time at home.

So, what do you think?

What. The. Fuck?!

I went to do the upper push workout today. I started off with 3 reps at 175. That's 40 pounds below my PR and I was weak as shit.

What the hell is going on? I don't feel sub par in any other way. It can't be overtraining. I don't do enough. I'm getting plenty of food and sleep. I didn't even go to class today.

This is starting to get seriously frustrating.

Is it just your bench? Could be just a bad day.

It also happened during my last workout (legs) two days ago.

 

[Witchblade]

Hm, overtraining would be my first guess. Don't underestimate the stress placed on your body by all the Krav classes.

Do you suffer from any symptoms?

Symptoms

I'm sleeping just fine. I even got 9 hours today.

From 0 to 10.

- Feeling lethargic : 0
- Decline or plateau in performance (very common) : 9
- Lack of motivation to work out (very common) : 0
- Insomnia : 0
- Decreased appetite : 0
- Recurring illness : 0
- Persistant muscle/joint soreness : 0

Aside from the crappy workout performance, I feel fine. Better than fine, actually. That's why I'm so confused.

Are you working out in a rush? I can't focus very well when I do that leading to a decrease in strenght.
