Thanks Yan. I don't think I was overtraining if you cycle your training, like I tend to do. And if I was overtraining than the 1T certainly did not support increased volume.

Lina, I have two weeks left on my bulk cycle, so no cut yet. I will look to maintain through the new year. Then I will cycle my bulk for the next 24 weeks. I will do 4 weeks bulk to 2 weeks cut. Hopefully that way I can maintain BF but increase bodyweight.

I totally agree with the lad. Just train as if you're not on the 1-T. It may support more volume, but as far as i'm concerned, your volume was already high. You just pushed it through the roof IMO.
 
dude, I can't say anything, I'm trying the 80's tonight. lmao So even for trying the 150's I have to give you major respect.

Wasn't your training partner there today or something. And next time I bet you'll get them. :)

Thanks fitbabe.

So no one commented on me dropping the 150s?


haha, fool.

Of course not.

The fact that you can press the 140's is enough to deter anyone from trying that little transaction.

Damn dude! You dropped the 150's??? You gotta do better!
:thumb:
 
The skinny is that yes, my partner was there. On inclines I need to kick the DB fom my knees into the start position. Then he helps me on the first press (cuz of the bad shoulder). I DO NOT count that one, then I start my set. I couldn't get the 150s into position.

I am NOT going to try them next week. Instead I'll try and get 8 or 9 with the 140s. The next cylce after the new year I WILL get the 150s up in the second or 3 week and I'll get at least 6 reps! Write it down!

Then each cycle I'll get the next pair of DBs TOO! (My gym goes up to 200s!)

I think for me that try of training stimulates serious strength and muscle increases. I also think that my body can't handle it when training to failure for more than a couple of weeks. This is part of the reason why I set up the cycling the way I outlined last week.

It's a pain to get heavy db's into position. I helped a guy today with 110's. Pain in the ass!
 
Alright I'm holdin ya to the increase in weight each cycle. **writing that down** Yeah getting them into position is the worst, especially when you have a shoulder you have to watch out for. Luckily mine has stayed healthy so far. :)

During my first cycle of 1 test/4-ad I was able to do chest twice a week easy! Once I was off several weeks I had to go back to once a week. Now On my second cycle, I'm back to twice a week. Got a PR today of 305 lbs @ 187lbs. See how close to 315 I can get...

Well, 110s are easy. Thats a warmup weight. In fact, before I tried the 150s I did a "warm up" with the 130s for 4 easy reps. Didn't even need any help with those.
 
Ask someone to pass a DB up to you while you throw up one with two arms.

Get into position, recieve the 'bell and off you trott.

Today, Roy Patterson (last years Mr Britain) was doing inclines with the 70's and had me and another guy pass BOTH of them up to him. That was a pain in the ass, i can tell you. Especially since my bis were already fried from curling.

Damn! I thought the 110's were heavy!:eek:
 
The 70s or 170s?

My partner had a bitch of a time getting the DB up on my knee, let along at pressing height.
 
TP, so I assume you were happy with your cycle? Isn't it done?
 
This week and next week. Six week cycle. Happy? I am satisfied. I am not yet even past personal bests except with curling. I also think all my gains came the first two weeks. I also think I gained too much fat.

If I had to guess I'd say I added:
4 pounds muscle
4 pounds fat
8 pounds water


But yes, my muscles feel harder and thicker.

TP,

i think Rob means 70kg's, and if not that Mr. Britain must be pretty weak. I can do 70lber's and i can get them up by themselves.

Re:dropping the 150's-

What's da matter TP, can't get it up? :D

Oh. Yeah he said 36=80s right? So that means he's talking roughly 160s. Nice. So when I get teh 160s in March or so does that mean I can be Mr. Britain?

I must be odd then. My gains always don't start showing until the third week. Then I get gains for several weeks! I wanted to keep cycles at four weeks, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to??

I guess it effects people differently. We need to do cycles that will work best for us. Thats why its important to keep detailed notes.

Very true. I've been extra meticulous with my journal now that i've started this stuff. I want to make sure that it works, and if not i'm not going to waste my money on it.

If you saw Roy up close and in the flesh, you'd realise that the answer to that question is not "no".

It is "no fucking chance!"

Maybe not after a few more stacks! ;)
 
So when bulking, you don't care to stick to just 'clean' carbs/fats?

Things like, alcohol, quesadilllas, buttered popcorn, white tortillas, white rice, wouldn't that make you gain fat faster rather than the slow burning carbs?
