Re: Gusto's Journal

Was due for a day off but I'm trying to get back on mon- fri schedule so I worked back. Not even gonna bother logging what I did. Between my numb right hand, the painful dbol low back pumps, and simply just needing a rest day it was embarrassingly terrible. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks on so I'll have progress, cycle, and training updates.

Cheat meal- 1/2 digorno pizza and half an ice cream bar

Re: Gusto's Journal

Been slacking a bit on my posting but here ya go. Hit 4 weeks on Saturday and the scal read 216 first thing in the AM which pits me up 12 pounds I believe. Dbol has been dropped and I have loosened my diet restrictions a bit to make getting enough calories a little easier. I'm not eating a ton of junk food but I'm allowing myself to use sauces, take in more whole grain bread, and allowing myself a minor cheat snack a day (example: today I hAd 2 spring rolls with my Thai chicken.) it was getting maddening trying to take in sufficient cals on chicken breasts, eggs, rice, and cereal. Strength is growing nicely.

Incline barbell press: 255 x 6, 265 x 5, 275 x 4, 285 x 3 300 x 2, 315 x 1, 325 x 1, 225 x 13

Incline hammer strength: 2 pps x 20, 3 pps x 10, 9, 2 pps x 19

Decline hammer strength: 2 pps x 15, 3 pps x 9, 2 pps x 18, 16

Dumbbell fly: 50 x 15, 15, 14

Hormone panel and CBC drawn today. Hgh serum and cmp will have to wait a bit. Feel like my tricep workout are suffering a bit as I seem to have to jump around from exercise to exercise til I find one that doesn't hurt the elbows. Don't get me wrong the NPP is definitely helping my shoulder and knee joints and I feel pretty damn good, but for some reason my elbows burn every time I start to work triceps.

Seated hammer curls: 40s x 15, 15, 14, 14

Hammer strength preachers: 45 x 15, 70 x 9, 8, 8 with drop set

Cable press downs: 15, 15, 12, 10 pretty light weights used... Elbows burning

Incline close grip bench: 225 x 8, 8, 8

Machine dips: 150 x 20, 200 x 15, 240 x 12, 12

Lying one arm dumbbell ext.: 35s x 12, 12, 12

Oh I have bro. Haven't been super clean since before the holidays. If you look at a few posts back I mentioned that I have loosened my diet restrictions so I'm taking in more breads and other things to help me add more calories easier. I'm also letting myself eat more protein bars and stuff like that to add calories. I will admit though eating enough has been a real challenge for me. When it's cheeseburgers and pizza packing away 6000 cal is easy, when it's clean or fairly clean food its hard as shit for me

yeah that's what i was saying it about. add in a bunch of red meat in place of chicken and eggs and that will crank you cals through the roof. also get you some coconut oil and have a cpl tablespoons a day in and that will put the cals through the roof. good healthy fat that does a ton of good stuff for you body also. i have a hell of a hard time eating more that 1-2lbs of chicken when i am bulking but i can house 4-5-6lbs of beef or 48-60 whole eggs no problem. ketchup and cheese help the eggs a ton haha

You referring to me animal? I only eat eight a day. Sometimes I'll go up to a dozen if I have two egg meals a day

Re: Gusto's Journal

Oh you're referring to guns

Re: Gusto's Journal

Oh you're referring to guns

i only do a dozen a day now on occasion now due to costs man. it is almost 30 bucks for 15 dozen and that isnt as cost effective as beef is for me. so if the price goes under 15 for 15 dozen you will see them jump in my diet but for the last bit it has been to rich for my blood

Re: Gusto's Journal

Okay here's a cycle update pic. Sorry I haven't manscaped in a while and my wife's not around to take a picture for me so you're gonna have to make do with the selfie. I don't really feel like the pic is doing justice for the actual progress I've made but you can definitely tell my chest and back are a lot thicker my arms are fuller and my shoulders rounder. My strength is increasing nicely and I'm almost back to the strongest I've ever been on a lot of lifts. I'm up 14 pounds as of today. I worked my back today but I'll post the workout tomorrow because I don't feel like typing lot right now.
