Damn Mike, that was wicked man.....Saturday Fever said:
I know I have been out of the loop a bit, but I have been really busy and now that I am hurting, I am taking some time off to think and catch up with my buddies....
Man, congrats on the journal, you are doing great.....
Awesome deadlift Mike. Throwin around that much weight without straps is amazing.
The ONLY thing I see that could use work is your lower back. Don't get me wrong, you pulled a raw 605, your lower back has obviously got strength. But your hips come up real quick. That's not bad, it just means your hams and glutes overpower your lower back.
I'm sure there's no Reverse Hyper at your gym, so maybe a good accessory lift to throw in for a couple weeks would be a high/low Good AM scheme. Maybe do 6-8 sets of 2-3 Good AMs once a week for 3 weeks and go back to normal. During these weeks you'd have to avoid deadlifting, however.
Hell of a lift.

Damn Mike, you're scary. You throw around some big weights. I hope I can reach that level of conditioning at any point in my life. You're only 20 too!
My educated guess (also have used M1T), not just hormones being out of whack, but rather the M1T specifically. I assume you have taken it before but didn't necessarily get the strong appetite suppression, hence the confused face. It had a pleasant appetite suppressive effect on me also. A lot of people have reported not only appetite suppression on M1T but also a very erratic and unpredictable appetite at times. Enjoy it! I sure do. Somewhat liberating not to be chomping at the bit before every meal. High dose bromo seems to work similarly for me, but obviously with different side effects to go with it.
M1T and anadrol both hit some people in a way that make them lose their appetite, become lethargic, and so on. I had some lethargy on M1T during week 2 but never had food issues, dunno why.
Monstar you're a beast. I wanna be just like you 
Awesome Dead! I love watching those videos, very inspiring!
Robert: Agreed, sick traps as well. 
SF: Thanks for uploading the vid, bro, appreciate it. Yeah I would have to agree man that my lower back is probably what is holding me back. I mean I feel like my lower back is pretty strong, but it has to be what is holding my deadlift back. I am going to try and focus more on good mornings and hyperextensions maybe the next few weeks.
Tony: Thanks for stopping by, bud. It's okay that you haven't been posting as much---I feel great man. Honestly I am not even sure why or how, but lately I am feeling better than ever. Haven't binged at all, and I haven't had a desire at all to binge. I think I almost got it out of my system or something, if that's even possible.
Duncans Donuts: Hey man, thanks for the kind words. Honestly, I never deadlift or do any exercises with straps, or a belt for that matter. Every lift that I do is raw, with the exception of chalk.
Arnie's left nu: Thanks man! I would have to agree that DD is definitely incredibly strong for his age. As for me, I am always trying to get stronger. Thanks for the kind words.
CowPimp: Hey man, thanks for the support. I am trying to get some videos up just to give you guys an idea of what kind of weights I am actually moving in the gym. I think that it's one thing to see something listed in a journal entry and a completely different thing to actually see the exercise and motion performed. At least IMO.
Cardinal: I am starting to think that it's the M1T as well that is screwing with my appetite. Whatever, I mean it's honestly not that big of a deal---I just need to work on reminding myself to eat almost. When usually I am starving 24 hours a day. I feel like I can never get enough food in me. I don't remember feeling this way in either of my other two M1T cycles.
Mudge: So far I am experiencing no lethargy, really. Just basically been loss of appetite at this point. I am paying close attention though, this time around to my sex drive and all that---so we'll see what happens.
Luke9583: Haha, thanks bro, I appreciate that.
rock4832: Thanks a lot man.

Awww feel better sweetheart. Everybody has off days, and you are obviously very strong and dedicated! Don't think too much tho! 
Maybe you need a trip to Jersey to refresh yourself 
Maybe you need a trip to Jersey to refresh yourself
Vivian: I think I might take you up on that trip to Jersey to refresh myself. I could use getting away from Delaware, that's for sure. And since Jersey is so damn close, I don't have a reason not to take some time to relieve some stress. I'll just have to find a good day when I can manage to get off from school and work.

Not like that boys 
I ran a cycle @ 20mg and one at 10mg. HUGE difference in sides, but about the same gains. What brands are you using?
Vivian: You know we're just busting your balls.
Luke9583: Hey man, I am using Underground Labs M1T, from BulkNutrition.com. Here is what the bottle looks like:
Each tablet is 5mg of the stuff. I am running 15mg per day. At 10mg I was honestly not noticing that much at all, and then with 20mg I was extremely lethargic and just felt like sh*t basically. So 15mg is somewhere in between. Although I do not have an appetite again today. Time to start force feeding myself.

Hey Mike!! Have a great weekend!

Back
Sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty back session today. I just felt weak as fuck, exhausted. Focus was pathetic, strength was pathetic, couldn't even get motivated to do each set. Decided rather than to have a sh*tty workout and just piss myself off I just left.
Support Rows
2 sets of 3 with 300
2 sets of 6 with 245
1 set of 10 with 210
That was all I did today! I was in the gym about 15-20 minutes. Like I said my focus and intensity was just not there. So I called it a day. Whatever. My diet yesterday SUCKED, along with my sleep last night. So I mean this is not a big surprise to me at all.
I am also tossing around some new ideas about my training, maybe alternating bouts of light and heavy sessions. Who knows. I am going to post a thread in the training forum.
Decided, after getting some food in my system, etc. To go back and hit my lats again in my basement at 11:30 tonight. Late workout, that's for sure. And I absolutely HATE pullups, I have come to this conclusion. My strength has dropped like crazy in them! I have to concentrate so damn hard to feel them in my lats---I prefer rows or pullovers hands down. But it was all I had access to in my basement.
Weighted Pullups
2 sets of 2 with +90
3 sets of 5 with +45
Cable Rows
4 sets of 8 with 210
Eh, considering that it was so late, and my lats were already obviously at least kind of beaten up from the support rows 8 hours before this, I had a decent workout. No complaints, that's for sure. Like I said pullups I am just not a big fan of, but oh well.
Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk
- breaded chicken salad + vinegarette dressing
- V-12 preworkout
- whey protein postworkout
- turkey & cheese sandwich, mixed fruit
- cottage cheese + pineapple
- tuna salad sandwich
- MRP shake
Sleep: 5 hours.
Day 4 of M1T, 15mg a day.

Hey Mike,
As far as hitting the gym and then finding that you just have nothing to put into a workout and leaving I have been there and done it myself a number of times.
Lack of sleep definately doesn't help.
Good job getting back into a second workout later at home... I admire your efforts!
You're sounding pretty positive overall... keep up the hard work!

BritChick: Hey there, thanks for the support, I appreciate it. Yeah I reposted my journal entry yesterday since I trained a second time last night. I honestly did not have the greatest workout in my basement, but considering how late at night it was, and how little sleep I had the night before, etc. I wasn't complaining at all. Thanks again.
Monstar
I hope you don't think:
2 set of 2 reps doing pullups with 90 pounds on you is weak........
It sounds pretty good to me.

yellowmoomba: Eh, 2 sets of 2 with +90 is okay I guess. I could have had a little bit better of ROM, and I just felt weak overall in the pullups. I used to like doing them all the time, but anymore I prefer rows hands down. Rows, pullovers, and every now and then some CG pulldowns.

Chest
Great workout today. My incline strength is weak as hell, as usual, that's nothing new. I am not even too concerned with it honestly. I am just trying to hang in there, and train my weakpoints. My decline is strong so rather than work on my strong lifts all the time I am trying hard to bring up my weaker lifts.
Incline BB Presses
3 sets of 5 with 225
2 sets of 3 with 260
1 set of 15 with 195
Swiss Ball DB Presses
3 sets of 8 with the 80's
2 sets of 6 with the 95's
Flat DB Flyes
2 sets of 9 with the 70's
Like I said my incline BB strength has always been weak, trying to bring it up. Eventually I want to be able to hit 295 for 3 sets of 3. In the next few months or so. So we'll see how much work it takes for me to hit that. I know that I can hit 3 sets of with 260-265 I think. Who knows. Tried some Swiss ball presses that I absolutely LOVED! Great exercise, once you get the hang of it. Gave me a tremendous pump in my pecs, felt great. Hit 2 sets of 6 with the 95's. Getting started is the hardest part, but after that the feel of the exercise is awesome. Did some flyes and called it a day. Not a bad workout.
Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk
- 6" tuna & cheese sub
- V-12 preworkout
- whey protein postworkout
- chicken parmesan + spaghetti, garlic bread
- chicken salad wrap
- cottage cheese + pineapple
Sleep: 7.5 hours. Then took a 15-minute nap before the gym.
Day 5 of M1T, 15mg a day.

Good job!
Good job!
Look at this journal go!! Good w/o on the chest Mike (and going back and doing more with back). I'll have to try the db press on a swiss ball. Using so much weight don't you just fall off, LOL.
