Approved Log Return to bodybuilding.... finally

Training this morning :

Seated Rows ( w ) - 2x 10 @ 75kg mac
I.O.R - 2 x 10 @ 80kg mac
I.L.R - 2 x 12 @ 90kg mac
Lat Pull Down ( n )- 2 x 12 @ 40kg
Static Hold - 1 minute @ 95kg

Started with Seated Rows with a wide underhand grip, I've been keeping the back straight and pulling to the navel and squeezing hard for 3 seconds lately as opposed to the more typical stretch and contract method, finding better time under tension this way , supersets with Iso Overhead Rows , i find supersetting these really lights up the lats . Then went into single arm Iso Lateral Rows 45kg each side , supersetting with Lat Pull Downs from a neutral grip , usually i do LPD with a wide grip , but just changing it up a bit. Then performed a minute long static hold on the Lat Pull Down with 95kg, goal here to finish up , is to tetract scapular and begin a Lat Pull Down with weight that cant be done, once as far down as I can get it, I hold it there , goal is to put some hurt on the lats , it does a very good job of that, John Meadows was a big advocate if this , I picked it up from him and will toss it in every now and then
 
Training this morning:

Pec Dec - 2 x 8 @ 42.5kg
Incline Split Press - 2 x 12 @ 40kg
H>L Fly - 2 x 15 @ 15kg
L>H Fly - 2 x 15 @ 15kg
Pec Dec - 8 x 56kg

Starting with Pec Dec to pre fatigue chest , going into Split Pressing. Supersetting High to Low fly and Low to High fly together, no break between sets , so essentially 4 sets in a row, then back ti the Pec Dec to finish off with a top set at the heaviest I've can muster
 
Training this morning :

Pec Dec - 2 x 10 @ 45kg mac
Lateral Raise - 2 x 10 @ 12kg cable
Incline Split Press - 2 x 12 @ 35kg each db
P.D.F - 2 x 12 @ 40kg mac
Incline Flys - 2 x 15 @ 15kg each db
Shoulder Press - 2 x 10 @ 52kg bb

Supersetting each exercise with the ine below, doing chest and shoulders. Could go heavier on all of these , but trying to work a bit more on control and nit powering so much through the technique. Will have to go heavier on Pec Dec though in order to pre fatigue the chest a bit more. Still find myself fighting myself in the Posterior Delt Fly on the same machine , I cant work out if I prefer it with a prorated grip or neutral grip , I swap chop and change everytime I do them
 
Training this morning.

Rear Barbell Squats - 3 x 8 @ 110kg
Hack Squats - 3 x 12 ( quad focus ) 55kg
Leg Press - 3 x 10 ( ham focus ) 145kg
Leg Extensions - 3 x 15 @ 28kg
Standing Calf Raises - 3 x 15 @ 85kg

Hit legs again , 2 min breaks between sets , 3 min break between exercises. Standing Calf raises were less than I normally do, but I was completely tanked by the time I got to doing them and just had nothing left to give , so I'm happy with that and sore
 
You could rotate calves to the start or hit them on a separate day. They usually need a bit more priority and frequency to grow.
 
Training this morning.

Warm up with laterals in cable crossover - 2 sets of 20 @ 5kg and 5 mins dynamic stretching movements.

Lateral Raises - 3 sets 10 @ 17.5kg db each
Shoulder Press - 3 sets of 12 @ 30kg db each
P.D.F - 3 sets 15 @ 40kg mac
Shrugs - 3 sets of 12 @ 45kg db each

Light Lateral Raises on cables and some dynamic movements as warm up. Then straight into working sets of Lateral Raises with dumbbells , 90 second break per set , then into Dumbell Shoulder Press , with 90 second break between sets , having a 5 min rest ,then doing supersets of PDF in Peck Dec and Dumbbell Shrugs, no break at 3 sets each . Pretty happy with today , tempo was exactly where I was hoping to keep it at and feeling strong despite the drop in mechanical load
 
Planned cycle ahead :

Week 1 - 16 Test E 500mg pw
Week 1 - 16 EQ 300mg pw
Week 1 - 8 NPP 200mg pw
Week 8 - 16 Tren E 150mg pw
Cialis - 5mg per day , 30 mins pre workout

Will be geared towards lean mass. Prolactin hasn't been an issue for me , so I have some caber but I wont run it if I don't require it. If bloods reveal high total testosterone count but underwhelming free testosterone, I will introduce either Masteron at 200mg per week or Proviron at 50mg a day. Upon completion will just go back to 150mg of test per week . Tren is low , I dont feel a need to crank high doses of Tren I'm also opting for Enanthate as I find in the past, I am more prone to adverse effects mentally from Tren in its Acetate form, I dont get the same kick in the brainwaves from the Enanthate form. Will be commencing in about 4 weeks from now , after bloodwork etc . All androgens will be from Ozsteroids . Regiment will be all compounds split into 7 doses and administered daily, will be rotating delts, dorso glutes, ventro glutes.

It’ll work brother, but it’s a lot to run at once :)

Thats fair yeah, about .92ml per day of androgens. I would run test lower but as soon as eq gets introduced my e2 takes a fair nudge southwards. I tend to fair better with a bit more e2 so thats why the test is at 500 instead of 250/300. But it looks busy for sure. I was just going to run test and deca again , but I enjoy the extra appetite with eq and the vascularity is nice , although not a huge deal to me at present. I could swap eq for ghrp-2 and get some increase in appetite , but insulin resistance can be an issue there so leaning toward eq
 
Training this morning


Tricep Press Down - 2 x 10 @ 46kg cable
Biceps Curl - 2 x 10 @ 40kg cable
Tricep Rope Ext - 2 x 12 @ 30kg cable
DB Preacher Curl - 2 x 12 @ 20kg db each

Went with Bicep Curls with cables today instead of barbell as it seems to always hit a little different. Superset between bicep/tricep exercises.

Training this morning :


Lat - 2x12 @ 18.5kg db each ( 3 partial )
Shoulder Press - 2 x 10 @ 32.5kg db each
P.D.F - 2 x 12 @ 45kg mac
Shrug - 2 x 15 @ 47.5kg db each

Started with 5mins of lateral raises on cables crossover at 5kg to warm up shoulders with 30 push ups on knuckles. When into Lateral Rauses with dumbells and delt I was really at my limit with weight , last 2 or 3 were partial reps probably 80% , 60% and 30% . 5 min rest then into Dumbell Shoulder Pressing and again felt I was at my limit with weight with the last rep being a partial rep here too . Not much heavier than last time, but first two felt pretty taxing. When into supersets with Posterior Delt Flys and Shrugs , felt pretty good , had to clip myself a few times for allowing my triceps to aid in reverse fly ( lazy positioning with elbows ) , Shrugs felt awesome , could have gone heavier for sure here
 
Training yesterday :

Leg Extension - 3 x 12 @ 38kg
Back Squats - 3 x 10 @ 85kg
Standing Calf Raises - 3 x 12 @ 80kg

Session for legs was cut short and weight reduced as I took a blow to the left knee at work when the head of sledge Hammer broke away and well, it hurt colourfully lol. So did what I coukd but was pretty ouchy
