Re: Gusto's Journal

beast mode. screw the harvest grain crap gusto, it's the offseason man. get some cannoli ones or something good. if you go to ihop freaking go to ihop. i have a wise old man here that helps we out a bit with tweaks here and there. he told me to go to ihop and have an omlete and pancakes. i had the harvest grain ones with sugar free syrup instead of listening to him and it probably set me back two weeks because i was over depleted. so a good burst of sugar after depeleting for a very long time is a good thing and being stuborn doesnt always pay off lol

Off today. Heading to IHOP this morning with the kids for a big steak omelet and harvest grain pancakes. Feeling swole.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Walked into the gym this morning with no motivation. Just felt dehydrated and blah in my stomach. Anyway once I started hitting the high rep biceps movements and the guns started filling with blood I got damn motivated damn quickly. Great pump and vascularity. I've never had great vascularity and today I had a roadmap going on... well a country roadmap anyway.

I'm really stoked I was able to do dips today. That's another one that really aggravated the elbows and shoulders and haven't done them in a long while. Still a little bit of cracking going on in there but they felt pretty damn good. Didn't push it hard though. I'm noticing that if I'm patient with my tris and do a shit load of working warm up sets I eventually get a few pretty good ones in with no pain.

Added 100 mgs proviron in to the mix so it now is: 650 test/wk, 350 NPP/ wk, 100 mg proviron/ day, 25 mg aromasin/ day, 2 iu HGH mon- fri. Gonna need a girlfriend here pretty quick with that proviron. lol. I upped my carbs pretty significantly and am letting myself eat white potato tater tots with my two egg meals each day. I've just gotten to the point where eggs and chicken are making me gag and the tater tots and ketchup actually help me enjoy the meal. That being said I have noticed more bloat... so I guess I'm officially bulking instead of lean bulking lol. 214 on the scale this morning. Up 6 pounds since I've started. Feeling strong.

Re: Gusto's Journal

Strength is slowly but surely climbing back up on deads. Went low rep sets today and slowly worked up to what I'm guessing is about 90% of my current 1 rep max. Tried meadow rows for the first time today. Didn't change angles just got used to the movement. Definitely harder than one arm dumbbells and gripping the thick end of the tbar made for a good grip workout. Transitioning from 50 mgs Test P/ day to 50 mgs Test PP/ day simply because I have some I'm trying to get rid of. I'm gonna keep about 30mgs of test P in the mix for about a week until the PP is running
