haha mike! shit man thats no good, but hey they were small to begin with, so no biggy right? atleast you still have a penis....haha hope everything turns out ok bro, get somethin good for PCT, 6-oxo might not cut it.
Monolith- LOL, yeah man they are pretty damn good. I don't know about 2-3 boxes a week, but they're definitely good, lol. I honestly for some reason get sick of them. I really like Metrx Big 100 bars or whatever. Even though they're high in calories and too high in sugar, their choclate chip cookie dough is f*cking great! Like a candy bar. 
PreMier- Nah man, all I have for PCT is 6-OXO. I might look into Nolvadex though, because I have heard some really good things about it. That's for sure. Thanks for the input man. And let's hope its the M1T!
GRIFF- They were FAR from small to begin with, lol, trust me on this one! They probably lost about 50% of their size. So I am somewhat freaking out, but I know its a common side effect so it's not bothering me too too much. Yeah I think that everything will turn out okay, we'll see.

Diet:
- MRP + 1% milk + banana
- Gatorade during workout, whey protein postworkout
- breaded chicken sandwich
- turkey & cheese wrap, apple
- breaded chicken fingers
- cajun chicken salad, mudslide, strawberry banana margarita
- whey protein + 1% milk
Diet, today, wasn't too good, lol. Ended up basically not eating enough at all. And what I did eat wasn't good. Ended up with around 4.7K calories. But 1K of those calories I estimated from the mudslide (huge glass, was a friggin' milkshake) and the strawberry banana margarita. Damn I am a sucker for mixed drinks! Anyway, roughly 300g of protein, hopefully.
Sleep: 6.5 hours. Sleep was friggin' AWFUL. I didn't take my usual 500mg usnic acid last night before bed, so that f*cked me up. I sleep with a fan on high when I take usnic acid so I don't wake up in the morning covered in sweat. Well since I didn't take my usnic acid. I woke up about a hundred times because I was freezing to death.
Weight: 225.5 lbs. This was first thing in the morning, awesome.

Wow. Today I had a GREAT workout. Really really pleased overall with my strength, my focus in the gym, my intensity, everything was right on today. This feeling of being "invincible" in the gym that people report from M1T maybe what I experienced today.
Started off with CG bench, which beat the hell outta' my triceps and pecs. Really good sets though. Hit 275 for my 5RM. Was going to try 280-285 but my 5th rep was all the way to failure. Just barely got that rep up. Then I moved onto 10" lockouts in the power rack (yes I measured the distance the bar traveled, lol). These lockouts were friggin' great. Really hit my triceps extremely hard. Hit 365 which barely came up. 385 I couldn't even budge. And 375 I honestly have NO IDEA how I got up. At first it didn't budge, but I kept on pressing. And finally it started to edge its way up. Lockout was strong, and I held it locked out for a few seconds.
Skullcrushers were just awesome. These were to the very top of my head, good ROM, etc. Went somewhat light I guess, I don't know. After 8 damn sets, my triceps were friggin' toast. The pressdowns with the entire stack just burned them out completely. Finished up today with Nautilus lateral raises, which I absolutely love. Was going to do 3 sets of 8 with 180, but after the 8th rep with 180 I realized the weight was too light. Oh well. Some good sets, and ended up with a total of 25 reps for lateral raises.
Day 3 of M1T. So far I feel good. That's about all I can say at this point. I feel bigger and leaner than I have ever been before. So I am definitely not complaining. I am not sure if its the S1+ or the M1T. But whatever it is, I feel good.
---Had a lady in the gym come up to my today. She was probably mid-30's and honestly, very attractive.
She stopped me 3 times throughout my workout to say that I have made such tremendous progress since I started at this gym (about 1.5 years ago). She said that I had a "completely perfect" body, that my upper body has "exploded," lol, and that she can't get over how much heavier my weights are now compared to when I first started at this gym. BTW, I was wearing pants, so she couldn't see my legs, lol. Anyway, stuff like this makes me feel so much better about my progress. It's hard to see any real substantial gains when you're looking in the mirror on a daily basis. So little things like this make it all worthwhile.

Hella fine workout you stud, you're a damn beast, goin after the MILFs huh? niiice, haha old hot chicks are the shizzy haha. I'm still waiting for my first complement in the gym, haha maybe in a year and a half.
That's 6700lbs. total. That's moving a lot of weight around. Things are going to work out very nicely.

Funny about your compliment, MonStar.
I got something kind of similar a few weeks ago, but it was from gym staff who are probably told to compliment and encourage the regulars.

GRIFF- LOL, thanks man, appreciate it. Yeah I was surprised at this lady completely. I know that I have seen her in the gym before, but couldn't remember much about her. It felt great though that someone else had noticed my progress, ya know? Makes everything you're doing worthwhile, IMO.
SF- Yeah man, I hope so. My CG bench strength today wasn't too bad at all I don't think. I might have been been able to hit 280 for 5, I really am not sure. All I know is that my 5th rep on 275 I honestly barely got.
stencil- No way man, I would completely take that as a compliment man. I worked in a gym before and I have never heard of the staff having to compliment the regulars.

Try to bear with me here.
You did a total of 6700lbs in 6 sets of 5 reps. That averages out to 223lbs.
Your 1RM is 325, so today you worked at about 69% of your 1RM. (because 223 divided by 325 is .686)
Now I'll revert back to your 3RM work on Upper1, and not counting the set of 305x2:
You did 4200lbs total in 6 sets. That averages out to 233lbs.
So that day you worked at 72% of your 1RM. (because 233 divided by 325 is .716)
I'm not saying to keep track of all this shit (I will, don't worry) but one of your "mini-goals" on this system is to increase the percentage of 1RM you're working in. This way we can gauge when it's a good time to test your 1RM. For example, if your 3RM work averages 85%, and your 5RM work averages 75-80%, it's a REALLY safe bet you're going to destroy your 1RM.
Just food for thought. And like I said, don't even let this enter your mind. I'll track it, you can just lift it.

SF- Okay man, I think I know what you're saying. I followed as closely as I could. Seems really really interesting, lol. It's honestly all stuff that I am sure I could decipher if I really really wanted to. But since I have you (which is absolutely marvelous), I'll let you take care of all that! Tomorrow man is my form of DE squat/deadlift, so check sometime tomorrow morning for that post. Thanks for the info, again, appreciate it so much bro.
PreMier- LOL, I think I'll be okay, I like to stick to 5 years of my age. Generally 5 years older, by the way, lol, not 5 years younger.

GRIFF- Don't ask me, he kinda' familiar though...
Andrea- The boys are doing okay I guess, trying not to pay much attention to them until they return to their true potential, lol.
yellowmoomba- Cougars? Thats just hilarious, lol.
Anna- Yeah I was really honestly just almost shocked at what she was saying. I knew that I was slowly progressing but for her to go on and on about how much of a transformation I have had, etc., it made me feel great.

Wow, diet again today wasn't all that great. Drank one too many mixed drinks tonight, lol. And they were all vodka based drinks which really messed me up... Ended up with around 4.8K calories today, and around 300g of protein today, I think.
Sleep: 5.5 hours. My mom woke me up yelling at my brother. What the f*ck.

Workout today was absolutely awesome. Intensity was GREAT, focus was great, everything was just friggin??? awesome. So far I like M1T much more than S1+. Again it???s far too soon to tell, but I am just stating my opinion at this point.
Started with speed deads, boring, not much to say. Honestly, 315 felt like it was just the bar. My strength on deadlifts today felt tremendous. Rack pulls next, my lower back was already a little tired from the deadlifts, so these were tough. These were done conventional, by the way. By the 7th or 8th single I was gone. My lower back was beaten down, hard. Didn???t wear a belt at all today. Leg extensions were really good, 5 sets of 10, not bad. A bit more volume here today for my legs. Then some pull-throughs to tear up my hams and a*s, felt great.
Then I did my back work. I really need to figure something out because after all the sets of deadlifts and whatnot my lower back is completely exhausted. I have nothing left in me and trying to do heavy rows just isn???t going to work. My lower back was a limiting factor in my rowing strength today, damnit. Felt weak on t-bar rows, but I knew why. Pullovers were okay. BB curls were alright as well, I was shooting for 10 in BB curls with 135, oh well.
Want to note that this day overall needs to be cut back some. I was in the gym about an hour and a half today. And I was honestly rushing from the time I got there, because I was late for work, lol. Not sure what to cut out though, waiting for SF???s response.
Day 4 of M1T. Still taking 5mg 2x per day. And so far I am feeling great. Each and every single one of my workouts have been friggin??? awesome on this stuff. And the last 2 workouts I was running on slow sleep, and somehow I still pulled off great workouts.

Shit, 1.5 hours? We may be able to cut out the third leg lift, or maybe cut down. I think we can give your biceps some solid stimulation once a week as well. I'll have a solid answer tomorrow, I need to update "the monstar chart."
I created an Excel spreadsheet tracking your progress in a few areas. I think the board will really enjoy seeing it as a gauge of what real science is all about.
OK, so how did the 515 feel on the rack pulls? I think a PR on deads is about to happen but I want to see you get some squats or Good AMs in once before we return.
On Lower1 pick either squats or Good AMs, and on your next Lower2 do speed squats. Then I think you should blow a 10lb PR on deads without too much trouble.
I'll work on the lower2 routine to see what might have room for change. You know as well as anyone that I preach a 60 minute maximum in the gym, so I'll fix this.

PreMier- Hey man, I will probably get my blood pressure checked , or check it myself, in a few days. I really don't have a starting # though, so I guess as long as it falls in the normal range I am okay? Also, here is what my M1T cycle is going to look like, as long as I don't get too lethargic, etc.
Days 1-7: 5mg 2x per day
Days 8-14: 5mg 3x per day
Days 15-21: 5mg 4x per day
So basically working up to 20mg, towards the end of the cycle. I am hoping for some damn good results with this stuff!
SF- Thanks for the post man, appreciate it. Yeah I know that something has to be dropped. I was wondering if the high-set/low-rep exercise is really beneficial doing 2x per week? Obviously you know more than I do. Whatever you feel that I should change man, just let me know. I am thinking about dropping one of the leg lifts. And maybe hitting biceps just once per week. We'll see what happens.
BTW, how do you feel again about training a muscle group that's sore? My triceps are killing me from my last upper body 2 session, ouch.

Honestly, man, 515 felt heavy. I mean I was basically pulling conventional (even though the plates were 3" from the floor), and I was just kinda' tired to be honest. I got extremely pissed off pulling 515 for singles. I mean I felt like without that kind of intensity and focus I wouldn't have been able to hit 515 for 8 singles.

No starting #? 
j/k, its not that bad. But you should have it checked every few days or so. You definately dont want it getting too high, and it WILL be going up while on the M-1T.
Cool. What brand are you using?

PreMier- Nah no blood pressure starting # for me, I have never had a blood pressure problem so I really didn't see much of a reason to get it checked. Kinda' stupid I guess. I am using Underground Labs from BulkNutrition.com. Great stuff so far, IMO.
Mike you got one hell of a PT, you must be paying him well! W/O looks great I am going to try something like this after my TP PT
Morning hun 
Have a good weekend!
Have a good weekend!
X Ring- Yeah man, SF is great, I friggin' love having him monitoring my workouts, etc. I am really basically serving as his guinea pig so to speak so he can even more back up all his training philosophies, etc. Supertraining honestly is enough to back up anything he says, but for those who still for whatever reason have doubts.
Andrea- Aww, thanks I appreciate it. You too.
