Carmine's training log ...

lol Jag... if it is, count me in


Got a doc's appointment this month for my testosterone check. I am hoping it is low enough that he will put me on TRT.... It probably wont be, my pct was ultra successful and the boys plumped back up nicely. shoulda pushed the appointment to immediately after the challenge when I was off everything.

If you want to go into your blood work with low T levels your should NOT do the PCT and let your levels drop right before the bloodwork.
I used Androgel to do the trick
 
ya, i figured that but pct was over with 1 month ago and my boys are back to fully functioning shape, for a 50 year old. lol

I should have tried harder to get in right after the challenge but he had nothing available and doing a test bloodwork is just part of a physical and he was booked 2 months out. I should have said hey doc, my balls are shrinking, I am feeling weak, blah blah and maybe that would have gotten an appointment, at least it would ahve made his receptionist chuckle (since she screens all appointments). The conversation would ahve gone something like this.... Hmmmm Hmmm Sue, it is kind of a sensitive situation, see, my testes have shrunk and I have super low libido. You know what that is like... as a woman you go and grab his junk just to have less than a handful and require no more than a tissue to clean up afterwards...this is an emergency, I need to see the doctor! And MY luck, the doctor would have a swedish intern, 21, called Inga who would assist with the physical, like he had once before..... (heck if I knew, I would ahve manscaped and wore different underwear) I'll always prize that moment....

Carmine you have quite an imagination LOL

You would probably like a nice testicular ultrasound. nice warm jelly and a nurse rubbing a wand up and down your boys LOL

been there done that
 
wait 4 weeks after you cycle, do no pct and go see them. Youll be on hrt forsure.

pmd you
 
I am not on the eurogear challenge now, sent in pics but they wre late....

So i will log in hrere once again....

Starting Monday, I have a new bulking program I am going to do. it looks real promising and I am looking forward to watching the results.

I got my gear and ancillaries so am all psyched to start this right.

One major change is diet. Ya, I am still full of blubber but I want to build as much muscle as I can over the next 3 months or so.....

One thing I notice I do and many do is they have an aversion to carbs and about spiking insulin. BUT pro bodybuuilders take insulin too! You want an insulin spike to push nutrients into muscles. So I am going to , on workout days, starting 1 hour before workout and drink thru workout, around 1000 calories total from which 100 grams of that are carbs. Insulin stops when you start to work out so if I got an insulin spike before, then GH is released along with test during, I stand a good chance of having ready receptors, have IGF being produced from the insuline +GH, and suttle nutriets to the muscles with amonis that are ready... the protein will be in the form of peptide and casein hydrosalate. I will post the entire nutrition program here once i tart it....

but for now, havent been dead, just researching alot
 
OK here is my workout and what I will be doing for the week.
There is a progression of sets and reps over a 4 wk period, this is just showing the first wk ... For many of them, I would increase the sets by 1 each wk then drop back down to original the 4th week. the reps wold vary also deending on teh exercise thru the progression as some exercises I must increase the weight week to week. (more sets, higher weight, lower reps)
But for now, this is week 1:



Day 1: Bench Pattern: (MONDAY)


PART 1 – HIGH FREQUENCY STRENGTH (trained 4 days a wk so sets are not maximal except for failure on final set

A. Military press 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)
B. Back squat (or front squat) 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)
C. Bench press 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)

C. Lat pulldown supinated grip (2 sec. hold at peak) 3 x 8
D. DB pullover (2 sec. hold at stretch) 3 x 8

PART II – BICEPS

Note: between sets of biceps work, I will do active rest exercises for the triceps. After
the active rest you take 15-30 sec. of rest then start the next biceps set. with active rest, I aint going for failure, I am going to get a good squeeze out of muscle and stimulation. Active rest means while I wait to do the next set of biceps, I throw in a tricep set.

E. DB hammer curl (2 sec. hold at peak) 3 x 8
Active rest: rope triceps extension x 8-12 (not maximal)

F. Preacher curl 3 x 8
Active rest: overhead DB triceps extension x 8-12 (not maximal)

Active rest: close-grip push ups x 10-20 (not maximal)



Day 4: Overhead Pattern: (Thursday)


PART 1 – HIGH FREQUENCY STRENGTH (trained 4 days a wk so sets are not maximal except for failure on final set

A. Military press 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)
B. Back squat (or front squat) 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)
C. Bench press 3-4 x 10, 1 x 12 (to failure)


PART II – FOUNDATION WORK

D. Seated Barbell shoulder press 4 x 8, 1 x 8 rp,4 rp, 2
(I will do this with the slightest of incline, 5% or whatever it is , you are stronger, prevents impingement in shoulder)

PART III – STRUCTURAL WORK (same weight from week to week)

PRE-FATIGUE E (trisets 60-90SEC BETWEEN SETS)

E1. Seated DB lateral raise 3 x 8
E2. Seated DB front raise 3 x max

PART III – STRUCTURAL WORK (same weight from week to week)

PRE-FATIGUE F (superset, 60-90SEC BETWEEN SETS)

E1. Lying leg curl 3 x 8
E2. Romanian deadlift 3 x 8

PRE-FATIGUE G (superset, 60-90SEC BETWEEN SETS)

F1. Clean high pull 3 x 8
F2. Barbell shrugs (2 sec. hold at peak/ same weight as F1) 3 x max
basically with the shrug, I do the cleans first an when I am done with the 8 reps, I immediately turn the exercise into a barbell shrug while still holding the weight til failure.


DAY 6: SPECIALIZATION: Back Thickness (SATURDAY):

(I can work on whatever specialization or problem areas I have) In my case, it was either doing arms or thickening the back so I felt going with the back made more sense. This will be basically hitting the upper back using the same exercise pulled from a different angle and pulled to a different spot.

MECHANICAL DROP SET A (NO REST BETWEEN POSITIONS, 90 SEC.
BETWEEN SETS) these I am pulling down and back

A1. Rope face pull on lat pulldown station, pull to eyes 4 x 8-10
A2. Rope face pull on lat pulldown station, pull to neck 4 x max with same weight
A3. Rope face pull on lat pulldown station, pull to chest, 4 x max with the same weight


MECHANICAL DROP SET B (NO REST BETWEEN POSITIONS, 90 SEC.
BETWEEN SETS) these I am pulling back

B1. Rope face pull, pulley at eyes level, pull to forehead 4 x 8-10
B2. Rope face pull, pulley at eyes level, pull to neck 4 x max with same weight
B3. Rope face pull, pulley at eyes level, pull to chest 4 x max with same weight

SUPERSET C (10 SEC. BETWEEN STATIONS, 90 SEC. BETWEEN SETS)

C1. Chest-supported DB rear delts 4 x 10-12
C2. Chest-supported DB row elbows out 4 x max reps with same weight
C3. Seated rowing 4 x 10-12 (2 sec. hold at peak)


D. Voyer shrugs 4 x 10-12
(go into the cage, (between the two pulleys for crossovers, you grab pulleys (at ankle height) stand in middle and shrug up hold and circle around to back, squeeze back shoulderblades together and return to bottom. The difference here is that wiht a dumbell shrug, you are basically pulling straight up from ground, here you are actually pulling from the side into the neck so it forces more of a peak thru middle traps on back .


E. Close-grip bent over rowing (2 sec. hold at peak) 4 x 10-12
 
Glad to see you back at it.

keep an eye on your estradiol levels. Mine got up to 72, blood work in 5 weeks


My doc just perscirbed me anastrozole 1mg 3 x a week!

that should help
 
i so hate your doctor for not living near ME! WTF... the only thing I get from my doctor is a visit from Inga, his 21 year old blonde intern on rare occasions.... A life of high estriol is not worth it in exchange for the cheap date I get from Inga when I am told to cough. lol


I have been on test e for a week, today is into my 2nd week. taking arimidex even tho I know aromasin is much better from al I read on it.... I will check estradiol and test levels in a week .

I am hoping the e is around 25 and not more and the t around 700-1000.

Us guys being older, our bodies product a shit load more aromatizing compound than a younger guy, and is partly why our test is low and Estogen is high, it is werhe we natuurally live so for older guys, taking an AI actually assists us to reverting back to the more balanced ratio of when we were 20.

I dont think I could ever risk taking too much on the dose most people suggest because of that.

I got a little soft in the past 1 month. Ya, expected it but that is ok... I seriously needed a break mentally .

Test @ 700-1000 Wow
I am getting results or HRT levels 150 mg a week Although it is slower. I have plenty on hand for a while. But I need to wait until my BF gets much lower. My Blood testosterone levels should go up with the Adex blocking the Estrogen from the receptors. Last test they were 824
 
I aint that smart. lol

following a program that Christian Thibaudeau put togehter for indigo users, it is phase one of 3 and this first phase lasts 4-6 weeks from what I gather with progression in sets and reps thru the 4 weeks, all i can see now is 4 weeks of the program. it is a muscle hypertrophy program. All I ahve missing are abs and calves but I can do calves inbetween leg presses on leg day or on posterior chain/deadlift day

I plan on pushing even harder this time than I did on the first challenge I was on, even tho I aint on a challege now so to speak.
 
haha Jag.

did workout 2 today

my legs are TOAST!!!!

only got thru 2 sets of lunges and trap bar squats and only 1 set of leg extensions and bodyweight squats of which, btw, only was able to get 10 before legs gave out!

I was able to push the same moderate weight during the strength portion of the program that I did yesterday and i felt srong about it so that was good.

tomorrow got lats and biceps (and pasive triceps)....

cant wait to see how I fare with taht program.

took in approx 1000 calories pre during and post workout, 100 g carbs the rest was protein....

morning breakfasts will have addition of oats, will be carbing up mornings and during workouts for now, see what comes of it
 
Oats work wonders for me at breakfast, just take awhile to eat them. I take about 2 cups oats and add in some wheat flour on top to get some extra carbs.

I eat 1/2 a cup in the morning. I have no idea how you choke down 4x's that!


I've never hard that about the wheat carmineb, where did you hear that?
 
i did the workout 3 as I posted above last night. lats got fried too. I like the idea of doing Rested activity. What that is , is like a superset except the first exercise is the body part you are training, say biceps. then after a set of biceps, while I rest for he next set, I throw in a light to moderate weight tricep exercise and do it for 8-12 reps, NOT maximal, just to get blood flowing to the area, it actually helps alot after doing two days of tricep related exercises, to go in and just keep the area active.

Some people use active rest principle to do it when they are ready to change bodyparts. they will do the warm up sets of the next bodypart as anin this way, while pounding the first bodypart. In this way, by the time you are done blasting one, the other is ready to be blasted , teh warmups are done, you are always spending new time doing working sets....
'

Anyway, I couldnt do 1 pushup at the end of my sets for triceps, lets say they were fried
 
I eat 1/2 a cup in the morning. I have no idea how you choke down 4x's that!

look up book wheat belly:(written by a cardiologist)

www.fathead-movie.com/.../interview-with-wheat-belly

Q: How does wheat make us fat, exactly?
A: It contains amylopectin A, which is more efficiently converted to blood sugar than just about any other carbohydrate, including table sugar. In fact, two slices of whole wheat bread increase blood sugar to a higher level than a candy bar does. And then, after about two hours, your blood sugar plunges and you get shaky, your brain feels foggy, you're hungry. So let's say you have an English muffin for breakfast. Two hours later you're starving, so you have a handful of crackers, and then some potato chips, and your blood sugar rises again. That cycle of highs and lows just keeps going throughout the day, so you're constantly feeling hungry and constantly eating. Dieticians have responded to this by advising that we graze throughout the day, which is just nonsense. If you eliminate wheat from your diet, you're no longer hungry between meals because you've stopped that cycle. You've cut out the appetite stimulant, and consequently you lose weight very quickly. I've seen this with thousands of patients.
