[MrV]

thanks for the pics.. 16lbs in 19 days just pumps me up! i hate sittin around waiting while my gear is on my shelf screaming at me to take..

[h4x0l2]

lol sorry bout the highschool stuff =P

You seem to be doing really well...thats quite a leap you have made, congrats and keep it up.

[access]

Great strength gains..wish I could make body comp changes like you are with no cardio..oh what it was like to be young!!

[ViennaOak]

Time for another update. Seeing weight and measurement gains like I have int the past 3 weeks is actually quite frightening for me. As you can see from my pics, my body doesn't look much different in terms of hardness, density and BF%. Let me reiterate, the goal is as much mass as possible. I am also a waterlogged balloon (a strong balloon... lol). No cardio has been done... actually I doubt I could even complete 20minutes of any sort of intensity w/o spasming. I've been cramping a lot, especially when I twist my torso or turn my head, and I do 2 sets of deadlifts and can hardly walk without falling over from the super back pumps. The back pumps are starting to catch me during squats too.... that has never happened b4.

Day 20

I had to join a new gym bc my gym is getting ridiculous in terms of cost 160+/month. SO now I work out in a dungeon. I HATE NEW YORK.

iso hack slide(different than old hack machine) - 90*12, 100*10 (BOTH easy, new machine, wll kill it next week)
standing hammy 1 leg - 30*10, 8, 8, 8
standing calf 120*12, 140*10, 140*8, 140*8

no good mornings today bc my back is so f'd from the squats


Day 21

CHEST...
incline DB press - 50*12, 75*10, 75*8, 80*6, 80*6, 50*12
incline flyes - 35*10, 35*8
flat hammer iso chest (new machine for me) - 25's*12, 45*10, 70's*8, 70's*8
hi cable flyes - 35*12, 40*12, 45*10, 50*8
icanian chest press - 140*6, 140*8



Day 22

chins - 12, 6, 5, 4 negatives
1 arm DB row - 80*9, 80*8, 85*6, 85*6 (consistently stronger - 3 weeks ago was the following 60*9, 65*8, 70*6, 70*6)
medium hammer grip pulldown - 110*12, 120*10
BB row - 125*12, 135*10, 145*8, 145*8 + 25lb 2 arm DB rows*20 for pump
deadlift - 165*12, 215*10, 225*8... let the SPASMS BEGIN

as I walk home I am in so much agony from the deads... I can hardly walk


weigh-in 195.5 21.5lbs in 22 days (that's f'n scary)



side note - my nipples are always so hard and erect after I work out and a couple other times during the day... they aren't really sensitive but man are they hard! I've heard from others that this happens on cycle and it isn't really a symptom of impending gyno, just happens when u are on cycle. I also read that gyno (if it doesn't get to the big lump stage) is self correcting when the testosterone/estrogen levels return to normal. I am still going to stay away from the Nolva until PCT. I have nearly a week left on Dbol 30mg/day and then I am back to 20mg for the last 2 weeks.
