Twin Peak's Gettin' Large

Right now? Feels pretty damn good. As me tomorrow.

Obviously, it felt good this morning, though I could feel it wasn't 100%.

I think next week I am going to max out on the bench, deadlift and squat and see what I can do. My goals are 415, 465, and 465 respectively.
 
huge numbers there. :) Luckily being a tech T-Shirts are a norm so for me upgrading clothes isn't that big a deal. But for suits I can totally understand your point. That would suck!!!!
 
Yeah, I'd say to minimally redo my wardrobe it'd be 5g easy.
 
:eek: Damn bro now that's some serious cash. But you also have nice stuff, heck I don't even own one suit.

But in your line of work you need it. Awesome to hear your feelin awesome after the weekend. Looks like the shoulder couldn't have been bothering you much. :thumb:
 
Not much 'tall. But I am on the way to see the doc now just to get it looked at, since this is a chronic problem.

Yup, its expensive when you can't by a suit or shirt off the rack. All of mine are custom made. In fact I just had 11 new shirts shipped to me -- I hope they still fit!
 
TP,

Good job on the progress man. I wish i had your worries, my clothes story is a bit wierd. I was fat, then i lost it all, my clothes were big, now i'm getting bigger so my old fat clothes are fitting me like a normal person now. I'll be a happy camper when i outgrow my existing wardrobe (which is pretty much a few pairs of jeans a t-shirts, lol)
 
Hi TP :wave:

Miss me???
 
Hey B! Yes I have, thought you disappeared. Everything okay?

Depending on how much needs done you can take them up/out. I just had to have a pair of pants taken in and a jacket let out in the shoulders. About $50. Lots cheaper than a new suit..
 
Wouldn't work. It would need to be let out everywhere. Arms, chest, back, waist....its okay though, when I lose some of the BF I'll have room to add muscle!

Don???t feel quite as good today (rather flat and ???puffy???) but still had a most excellent leg workout. After making some serious headway in terms of gains on the squat and hack squat a small crowd gathered around the leg press when I first did 10 plates for 11 reps and then 12 plates per for 7 reps. It was kinda amusing.

I have come to the conclusion that at least half of my gains are owed to the increased cal intake. I have also concluded that a 4000+ cal diet is way to much for me under any circumstances. I think 3600 should be more than enough for proper growth and less than 3000 to cut. Here was this mornings w/o as compared to week 1.

Still weighing in at 220. Holding right there.


Week 1????????????..??????Week 2

1 1/4 Squats:
315 x 5??????????????????..365 x 8
295 x 6???????????????.???.385 x 5
275 x 6???????????????..???365 x 6

Hack Squats:
270 x 8???????????????....450 x 12
270 x 8???????????????....500 x 8

Leg Press:
6 plates x 12????????????.10 x 11
6 plates x 12????????????.12 x 7

Then I did some leg curls. No SLDLs cuz I was hurtin today. I you remember my legs looked considerably better before starting this. With these gains I expect that when we compare next Sunday???s pics with the before pics, the legs should show significant improvement.
 
TP,

do you do free weight hack squats or machine? Just curious, i tried doing free weight hack squats a while ago and almost busted my ass, its an awkward motion.
 
Hey Yan, actually I am embarrassed to say I am not sure what a free weight hack squat is. I do the hacks on a machine that is on a 45 degree angle. Back against the pad and shoulders pushing up against pads. I load it with free weights, its not a cable.
 
Nothing to be embarassed about TP. I read about it through sheer luck, its not exactly one of the most talked about exercises.

A free weight hack squat is basically performed like a behind the back deadlift. You hold the bar behing you, underneath your ass, and squat. I hear that raising up the heels helps with balance, but i've never tried that.

EDIT:Whoa, thats freaky. The post has a typo, 'behing,' but when i edit it and put a 'd' there, it still says behing. hmmm

Sounds like an odd exercise. Can't understand why its a useful exercise though.

Off do do back now.
 
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
 
Happy Thanksgiving dude.
 
Happy Belated Thanksgiving all (especially B and DV!)! Hope no one ate TOO much!!! It was fun being on a bulk!

Well, today is the last day of my official 6 week cycle, I'll prolly take some pics later. My workouts last wee were generally good. Bis was good. Popped an oblique going heavy on the deads so back w/o was cut short. Now I need to retain my gains!

This is my post-cycle, post Thanksgiving, Post. Some notes: I felt huge all weekend long. Most of my shirts are fitting rather tight and I look pretty good ??? not bad for gaining 2 ½ inches on the ole belly. Yet, my muscles are kind of flat. I expect that will go away as I drop some of the water and a bit???o the fat. I think this stuff worked great. It helped me blast through plateaus and made significant strength and size gains. If the gains are real (i.e. stay after I diet down), which I believe they are, this product is great. The extra food and protein I believe helped as well.

I???d like to retain this strength/size over the next month whilst I recover and I???d like to lose about 8 pounds or so (half water half fat). Then over the next two, 3 week cycles, get into some strength zones that I have only dreamed of previously. I???d like to do that w/o gaining as much fat so my cals are going to be more in the mid 3000 range, which I believe will be plenty for my slow metabolism. Here are my final comparisons from week 1 to week 6.



Overall Progression:

................Before............After


Weight.......208..............222

Arms.........16 3/4.............18
Stomach......39................41 1/2
Waist...........37................38 1/2
Forearms.....13 1/4..........14 1/4

Incline.......130 x 4...........140 x 7
....Dumbbell
Bench.......315 x 4...........315 x 8
Close Grip..245 x 7..........295 x 7
Pullup.......BW x 12..........+25 x 7
Deadlift......405 x 4..........445 x 2
Barbell Row..265 x 6........275 x 7
1 1/4 Squat..365 x 4........385 x 5
Military Press....................245 x 4
Curl............135 x 7..........160 x 8

The secondary movements all increased significantly as well.
 
1 1/4" on arms. That's incredible. I would be very happy if I was you! What do you plan to take post cycle now to keep your gains?
 
I am going to keep cals, and especially fat and protein pretty high (mid to high 3000s) for at least 2 weeks. EC. Creatine. And I thought I bought a bottle of 6-oxo, but I guess I didn't. I am going to order it shortly and start when it gets here.

I am also going to take very small amounts of 1T at bedtime for the next 4 or 5 days.

BTW, my only side was lethargy. And maybe its psychosomatic, but I already feel like its gone. Weird.
 
ouch, pulled your oblique? That had to hurt like hell.

Hope it's feeling better. Very impressive gains, and I could have swarn you said you ordered some of the 6-OXO right after you bought the 1-T.

Looks like good post cycle supplimentation. :thumb:

You'll be able to tell by your workouts. Mine still increased the week following when I stopped. The 2nd week I maintained. It wasn't until the 3rd or 4th week my weight dropped and my strength dropped a little. It usually takes a couple weeks to get out your system!
 
Yeah, I swear I did, but I can't find it! I am losing my mind.

Also, as post-theraphy, I have decreased my volume and have more off days, at least for the first two weeks. This week I am going to max out on all my major lifts and do little else.

DG, I meant that the lethargy is gone.
 
Phenomenal progress, Sir.
 
Thanks Rob, I am pretty pleased. I am curious to see how I look after losing the bloat. I am also curious as to how the next cycles will go.
 
Oh one last thing. The pumps I have had, particularly in bis, have been OUTRAGEOUS the last few weeks.

Last week my bis got pumped from that brief back work out -- it lasted two days. And my bis are STILL slightly pumped from my friday workout. Insane feeling.
 
Food intake, first day post cycle:

Total Cals: 3807
Fat: 150g 39%
Carbs: 173g 15%
Fiber: 39
Protein: 404g 46%


I'll go higher carbs and lower fat on training days.
 
Hey TP,

It has been awhile since I have checked in. You are doing AWESOME! Congrats on your progress!! You seem to know what works and how to maximize your gains! Someday I will get the hang of this ;)
