    Default My current set up/ rep range change

    Started new rep range today on upper back day. Mind you I’d been out of the gym for a solid week so just being there felt great but tiring at the same time.

    These are with minimum rest of 30 seconds between sets and 2 to 3 mins between movements. Going to cut this down to 1 min with 7 movements as I move into this change.

    Wide grip pull-ups 5 sets to failure (60)
    Close grip lat pulls 5 sets of 20
    Low rows 5 sets of 20
    Seated machine row 5 sets of 15
    Rear delts flys in laying position 5 sets of 20
    Close grip cable row 5 sets of 20

    Box jump into burpees 5 mins broken into two sets (shooting for 10mins just to get heart rate up)

    These was all very generic moves and I will diversified more as I move into this. Going to run this up tempo sets for the next month.

    No gear 12 full weeks off
    Hgh 3iu (Mecca)
    Igf 80 mcg (muscle chemistry)
    GW 20mg (muscle chemistry)

    Food
    7 egg whites, two slices of ham, 1 cup of coffee
    .9lbs of chicken, 10oz mixed veggies split into two meals
    One fit crunch protein snack bar
    One power crunch protein bar
    (Gotta ditch at least one bar)
    .3 lbs of chicken, 2 cups of rice (split into before and after workout)
    Post workout shake 25gs of protein powder (half plant half whey) 4 egg whites, 1 cup of fairlife milk, one scoop of peanut butter.

    So this is what I got going on right now

    Yesterday days workout included

    Push day
    Incline bench press 5x20
    Flat bench 5x20 2x10
    Circuit tempo 30 incline sit ups/ 30 ab rolls/30incline sit ups/ 30 leg rises/ 5 min plank
    Hammer strength decline bench 1x35(didn’t have weights set right) 4x20
    No flys today
    Dips body weight only 5x20
    Tricep extensions 5x20
    Dumbbell kickbacks 4x10

    This was day two of rep change and up tempo approach. I can already feel it too. Sore, tired and I’m still dealing with the heat of the summer so that’s draining me a bit too. Rest day is going to be Sunday as I have this day off and will spend some time at the beach.

    Food was normal on Saturday. I prepare 3 days of food at a time so I’ll update this every third day. Sunday I will eat Mexican Carne Asada is what I like.

    Gear is still nothing and going to pull bloods next week at some point to see how my recovery has gone. I’ll update my “ my approach to PCT thread with these”

    Hgh 3iu
    Igf 100mcg

    And a bunch of damn vitamins.

    Leg rise 2x20
    Hanging leg rise (toes the ceiling) 2x10

    Stayed on leg rise for calf rise 5x30
    Preacher seat curls 1x25 4x20

    Blood test ordered today. Maybe I’ll get a chance to do it tomorrow or Wednesday depending on how things go at work.

    Felt pretty tired at the gym today but I feel I’m still feeling the effects of 1 full week out of the gym

    Today was my rest day but since I’ll be traveling on Friday I decided to workout through to it. So hit it today and I’ll back tomorrow then rest/travel on Friday

    Today was a free for all so I worked core and hit some arms.

    Hanging leg rises 5x20
    Free motion standing abs crunch machine 1x100 2x50 3x10 (moving up in weight)

    45 degree hyperextension equipment
    Back extensions no weights 1x40
    With weights 2x20
    With weights turning torso 2x20

    Triceps extensions machine 5x20
    Cable action cross body curl 5x20

    I never go over ten reps. Usually around 5. I add weight if I can do it 8 times or more.

    I normally do that as well. Decided I was going to with this range all the up to my cycle to just change things up and get a different response. So far without any gear my pumps are great. Maybe it’s the igf but I’m liking it. I’ll switch back to 10-8 range in a few weeks.

    Default My current set up/ rep range change

    Ok, today was a good day. Got my results back from my first test of blood in PCT recovery. Tuesday marked a full 12 weeks since last pin and a full 6 weeks since nolva or clomid so all stuff should be clear. Results was good. Link to my PCT thread with blood results is at the bottom if you’d like to see. So I think I will wait a couple more weeks and test agin then it’s go time. Got a full arrangement of gear to pull from. Very excited.

    Today was a super set day of chest and back. Will not be able to workout tomorrow as it’s a travel day and the wifey has a honey-do list a mile long starting with fixing my hardwood floors to prepare to sell my house.

    Pull-ups 1x18 1x15 1x12 2x10
    Bench press machine 5x20
    Barbell low rows 6x20
    Rear delt flys 5x20
    Incline dumbbell bench press 1x14 1x12 2x10 1x8
    Close grip lat downs 5x20
    Single arm dumbbell row 4x15
    Hex press (squeeze press) 4x20

    Food was the same as before I added one Atkins low carb protein bar.

    No gear
    3iu hgh
    100 mcg igf
