Holy %@&! , I’m definitely ON, I didn’t sleep good last night and worked 10 hours straight today and still went to the gym today.

My lats felt like they wanted to explode, the arms were almost hurting from the pump, I swear this is the first time feeling this kind of pump.
At first when I got to the gym I was lethargic but once I felt the lats pushing my t-shirt, I was like shit, this is really working.

Yesterday I started to feel the skin too tight around my arms, also my upper chest looks fuller so finally I’m seeing something; my weight went down again to 220#s but still better than the 214 I started with, belly looks the same if not smaller

Tomorrow, date with

[estirpe]

Wow 405x20, if I load those plates in my bar I would be dreaming for sure, lol.
maybe in 2 years down the road I might be able to do it

 

[bfarro]

thinking of trying out h drol .how are you mentally any mood swings? Can you get addicted to it?

Today I decided to do legs only, am I ON? Nope. I’m a BEAST; I put 8 (45’s) plates to dance up and down, overheard a few guys saying “that guy is strong”, “he might be on something, he wasn’t able to do that weight a few weeks ago”, compliments from big guys that last week just said hello to me, today was a full conversation.
I’ll try to shoot for 455x3 before cycle is over, avoiding injuries of course.
I just felt in love again, this time not a woman but H-DROL.
Tomorrow, date with Chest and Triceps.

 

[estirpe]

thinking of trying out h drol .how are you mentally any mood swings? Can you get addicted to it?

No mood changes, if any for good. I was aggressive and got mad for almost no reason before hdrol and was expecting a big change for worse, well I'm more passive now, I do get upset once in a while then I blame it on hdrol and calm myself down, jajaja
Can you get addicted??? I guess like anything else, if you are responsible and play by the rules I don't see any problem. cycle+pct=time off + 2 extra weeks, plus make sure you get ALL proper support for pre-loading, cycle and pct.
Now if you have or had addiction problems, please stay away from it, you don't want anything that is not natural going into your body.
How old are you by the way???

 

[bfarro]

im 35yrs old and a recovering drug addict so i dont know if its for me

 

[estirpe]

im 35yrs old and a recovering drug addict so i dont know if its for me

I'm not an expert but my advise to you is to stay away from it, do it naturally, eat clean like there is no tomorrow, protein, creatine and on the long run you will see same benefits without risking going back to your addiction; it might take you 2 or 3 months more but it worth it

By the way congrats on your recovering , it takes a real man to make mistakes and admit them rather than blame someone or something else. Make yourself proud, stay clean, eat and train hard at the gym, that will keep you busy and you'll reach your goal.

 

[Saney]

do it naturally

This coming from an H-Drol abuser

This coming from an H-Drol abuser

Abuser???, Don't know if you can call me that just from doing a first cycle by the rules; what does that make you STUPID?, because from your comment above you have fifty bottles stocked up.
I guess Stupid since you also mentioned that h-drol was shit, weak and almost worthless so I don't get how come you stocked up???
Yep, stupid it is!

The rest of the workout went just fine; I did 315 for barbell shrug which is another PR

On another note I felt kind of tired the last couple of days, don’t know if I’m not recovering soon enough or what, will do the same routine this week, if I keep getting tired I will go back to the old 5 days split.

Saturday and Sunday off

 

[bcute4u]

Most of the weight I did felt really light on the first reps so the strength keeps going up.
No sides for today other than feeling lazy and tired all the time.

More PR’s for incline bench, pecs flies and cable crossover.

Today more PR’s, 205 for seated military press and 335 for barbell shrugs, for the shrugs it was really hard since my grip gave up, then I started to use those barbell hooks and they almost gave up too.
For some reason when doing seated dumbbell press I can go over 50 pounds without losing good form even though I can go heavier, don’t understand; I will practice with 10 pounders or so to implement a better muscle and movement memory.

Tomorrow

Do I feel good??? another PR for squats and standing BB calves.
90% of the people in the gym stopped working out while I was doing my last set of squats, someone even asked me, are you sure you can do this weight, that’s some serious weight?? I said piece of cake but deep inside I was scare as hell, well I did 7 reps with 425 with some more juice left on my trunk.

It sure feels good to have that many set of eyes looking at you and then after asking you, how long it took you to get there? and things like that.

Next 2 days are off

Will update Monday

Today I didn’t have enough time for my workout; I had to take my son to his baseball game, so rest time was kept to a minimum.
The pumps were amazing, on my first set of triceps I felt like exploding.
For chest, instead of doing 5 reps, I ended up doing 7, 10 and 9 reps on the last 3 sets, it felt kind of light for a 5 reps, remember a month ago I was having a hard time to do 8 reps without looking like I wanted to poop on my pants and now it feels like nothing.
I will be ending my second Hdrol bottle in 5 days; I will miss my new love (hdrol).
On a second note, I started taking creatine today, I want to be fully loaded by the time I start PCT

Tomorrow
