Re: One week One Test results
Okay, so I officially had my third chest workout on 1-T. It wasn't quite as awesome as last week. I did NOT increase for my second and third exercises, but I think that is due to the SIGNIFICANT increase in the first exercise, incline dumbells.
--------------------------Week 1----------Week 2-------Week 3
.
Incline Dumbbell....130s x 6 + 2.........130 x 8............140 x 6+1
Press:..................130s x 3 + 2.........130 x 5+1......130 x 8
............................100 x 9 + 1...........110 x 10........120 x 9
I am liking this!!!
Oh, and my weight was down to 210 this morning, due to I think my cals being a bit lower the last few days. What do you think Rob? BTW, my PB is 140 x 8 and that was 4 years ago!

Totally awesome gains, at this rate looks like you should match or beat your PB next week. 
The weight drop may be because you're not retaining as much food as usual since you skimped on the cals.
And water/glycogen may be playing a factor in it.
How do you look when you weighed in? Leaner? More muscular? Lost muscle?

Hmm, so far I haven't felt like I have gained or lost any muscle at all yet. Nothing noticable anyway -- not since I started. Its just in the stomach area and in water retention have I noticed anything.
But I clocked in this morning at 215, musta been all the crap food I ate!
Anyway, did legs this AM and the progression was nice once again. Increased each set by either 2 or 3 reps and/or increased the weight.

Awesome TP, congrats, sounds like this stuff is working. Can't wait to see how much farther you go. This is week 3 right?
I started a new journal for the diet, if you get a chance could you look it over. As well as if you have any training tips I'm goin alone now so I can try out any tips or advice you have for me. Thanks in advance.

Sure DV, I'll check it out when I get a chance.
Yeah this is beginning/middle of week 3. So far, I think its only strength gains. Hopefully at the end of 6 weeks I'll be past all my previous personal bests.

Well with stength the muscles will normally have to grow to adapt. Congrats and hope you hit them all.
Did back this morning. This was the first w/o that I did not increase in strength.
I weighed 216 this morning, and my pants and shirts collars are getting tight -- not good.
I think I am getting a bit overtrained too. So, I am not doing any BPs for a second/light time this week. I am also going to skip thursday's secondary BP w/o and take the day off, think my body needs it.

Hello to my fit BRO! Please do take a needed rest...reading about your workouts is exhausting enough! Bye for now!

Well, I haven???t kept this up, its been a rough week. Here are some random thoughts.
My arms were really sore after the last w/o. I feel I was becoming over trained, so I have back off by (1) skipping yesterdays w/o and (2) not doing the light BPs this week.
My weight was up to 216 yesterday.
While my strength is increasing, can???t tell if its do to the 1-T. Don???t feel bigger, harder, or anything yet.
I think this cal level is too high for me. Pants and collars are getting tight. Than again my suit jacket across the back was feeling tight too. Also, I ate less cals yesterday and felt leaner this morning, so maybe the gain IS just water and not BF, good!
Back routine yesterday was stagnant. I increased the weights but the reps were down accordingly. Legs on Tuesday had very nice gains. Okay, all caught up!

It's good you're putting weight on. Your head will really fuck with you if you're phobic of not adding fat back. Just remember that all the food you're eating will push your stomach out making you look fatter. It's why you look tubbier at night than in the morning after a bathroom visit.
I was gonna come and tell you why i think you're not gaining weight as you'd like. basically, it's because of your training volume and frequency and your reluctancy not to eat more calories. You must be burning off a shit load of calories with that routine. I think next week you should just do each bodypart once in the week, training 3-4 days max. Reduce the volume down a tad too. Maybe bump the calories up a bit too. Although that's not entirely necessary.

Dude, you know I respect you but you're nuts!
Eat more? My clothes aren't fitting? I can't button my collars on my shirts!
"Why I am not gaining weight?" I have added almost 10 pounds!
Reduce the volume? I just wrote that I am doing each BP only once this week do to a feeling a overtraining. I also skipped this mornings w/o.
Rob are you reading my ramblings anymore or have you given up?

I read everything. In other posts you've mentioned how its more of a strength building thing so far with no real weight gain.
And your clothes not fitting is a good thing, you want to grow! That's why you're using this stuff, remember?
And yeah, the overtraining aspect is one thing, but i suggested the reduce freq/vol because i think you're burning through too many calories from so much work. I told you from the start to do a mild week inbetween where you cut backa bit. Maybe it's time for that. And the calories should stay high cause the supercompensation from purposeful OT can be wild.
The 3/4 extra on your belly will be most likely from retaining food in the gut. It can account for up to 7lbs at any time you know?

No real size gain (in terms of muscle) is what I think I said or at least meant. I assumed that that will follow the strength gain in due course.
As to the clothes not fitting, I agree, but only if they aren't fitting in the right places and right now its really only the next and waist.
No way am I adding more calories than what I am doing now which averages to at least 4000.
This week is my cut back week. As to volume, its not really more than what I normally do. So I am just cutting out doing the BP the second time plus taking today off. Also, this week I have not been pushing past failure with assisted reps, and on occassion stopping just shy of failure.
So we are basically on the same page, but I ain't UPPING the cals further!
BTW, I am treating myself to taco bell tonight!

TP,
4000 / 216 = 18.5 cals per lb of BW.
Read the thread in the diet section 'dietary needs during 1-test cycle' go to 20-25 x BW during such a cycle.
Anyway, having said that. Your progress seems pretty good to me, you're just way fat phobic, like me. I've been only upping cals for a few days, yet i look like a fat ass in the mirror. I try telling myself that its extra food etc etc, but i'm to 178lbs today in the morning damn it!
Whatever there is always time to cut later for now the 1-test awaits!

Hmmmm....taco bell! Haven't had those for a while!!!
So what are you gonna do TP? Reduce cals? Add cals? Eat only slowburning carbs? add EFA?
Well good thing is you are far away from your comp so you have time on your side...

I am going to keep status quo for a while. At least through the end of the 6 week cycle. Then I will see.
Yan, I know about the 20-25 but I have gained enough non-muscle weight, whatever it is. Besides I never get 4000K exactly and am usually over.
BTW, never made it to taco bell last night! But I am having a big ass steak at this great NYC steakhouse for lunch today!
Well you are one patient person and I guess you need that on such a plan or any plan!
No Taco Bell? I thought I saw 3 Chicken Wraps from there on your fitday last night.... Let's see again... ah... you had something else!
Did you just started taking the MCT oil? How is that going? Any side effects like kuso's?
I hope NOT 
Hi kuso babe!!
I'm thinking bout getting some of that virgin coconut oil

I put it in cuz its what I expected to have, it is now out. The MCT oil is "keto butta" from lifeservices and I put it on top of the tortelini, I use it every so often. No effects.
And for all you people who want to see me get fat (Rob and Yan) and have changed my mind and decided to up the cals to 20 per lb or 4300.
As Yan just pointed out and Rob has done in the past 4000 was set when I was at a weight of 205. At 215 I'll up them a bit. Besides thats how many I had yesterday anyway!!!

Okay, I feel pretty good today. Weighed in at 215 and made some nice progress on arms. Not as good as last week but I was up about 5 pounds on every set. I just decided to change my mind and up the cals to 20 per lb or 4300 (20 x 215. Besides that???s how many I had yesterday anyway!!! Though I am feeling fatter, I went to pick up my tux yesterday for the wedding ??? the pants fit, the stomach around the jacket fit, but the chest and most especially the arms DID NOT fit. I had to go up to the next size and even then the arms are a tad bit tight. So that???s good news and I am pretty stoked about it. I was only measure a month ago. My shoulders are pretty hurtin???, both the muscle and th4e joint, so I am going to sjip tomorrow s/o and get both days off. I am also worried about Monday???s chest w/o since my partner is away for a couple of days and I really need him to get the dumbbells started on the heavy inclines. I might just do heavy barbell inclines instead and ask for a spot. I am annoyed about this, give the awesome progress and my curiosity to see if it continues. I wanted to try the 150s soon.
