Definitely brother, the only thing that has been plauging me is the unfortunate injuries that I am trying to rehab and that is definetely slowing me down. This week I have no rehab session, next week I'm back in for it. The other factor is the cold weather, the golfer's elbow was a bit back today.
So tonight I trained the wife and had a friend chit chat which ate into my session, but it was a very good session. I was debating whether to do squats or to do deadlifts and a bit back but wife wanted to do deadlifts so we did that.
I didn't eat enough and had constipation, but once I warmed up the session moved along quick, it was only about half an hour even though we stayed an hour.
The improvements aren't just numbers, but form. For example, while I did a certain weight a while ago, the latest sessions my form and movements are that much more solid. With squats for instance, I can fully squat and sit in and pause, so my flexibility is improving too and out of the hole I explode up much better. I am happy with the slow and steady progress, as long as I don't get injured I am good. The closer we get to 40, the shittier recovery from injuries becomes.
Back in the day shoulder, pec, hamstring and many other injuries used to heal for me way faster, it seems to take me months to recover now... sucks... we all get older...
Note:
I'm off clen for many days now, tonight I am going to inject before bed my last dose of tren-e and mast-e vials and I am waiting to make a new order, I really stretched my vials out. I am running out of everything at this point. I am excited to hop onto npp as it's been a long time since I last ran it. It's winter so whatever and its not bad like deca. I am a huge responded to deca pun intended, but I hate the bubble face and bloat that comes with it so I stopped running it for years plus the deca dick is real. NPP works fairly well for me with a bit of mast in the mix, but down the line before summer I will run a higher dose of tren, get off npp and run a strong oral to retain the gains and recomp.
Tonight's session went like this:
Tuesday Feb 18 2020
Preworkout Pills
- 200mg caffeine + 16mg ephedrine
- 50mg drol
- 50mg var
Exercises
Outer Hip Abductor
- 305x30 can't go any heavier, I maxed out the machine... I wish I could add weight lol
- 305x30
Inner Hip Abductor
- 305x25
- 305x20
Life Fitness back extensions
- 250x16 felt tough
- 250x17 felt easy after blood started moving
- 250x14 I know I should have went up in weight last session I did do 270, but I kept chatting with a friend who distracted me and I kept losing blood flow lol. All of this was to get me ready to deadlift... don't want to kill myself either way, even though I am off clen, back pumps and pulling a muscle are a bitch especially as i do it without a belt.
Leg curls
- 210x12 felt ridiculously easy but knees were hurting (weather changing too much on me wrecks havoc on my joints everywhere)
Deadlifts
- 225x12 felt great to warm up, didnt want to waste energy to keep repping out more
- 315x9 felt so easy! I was super explosive, but my hand grip was failing me
- 405x3 felt really great, easy, but grip failed me otherwise I know I could have repped out 5 maybe even 6, I did do 425x3 two weeks ago, I should be able to do more. One thing I note when I do clen, my forearms shrink (wtf), my grip gets weaker after I get off clen! This seems to always be the case and I get achy wrists from clen.
Note: I will incorporate captains of crush in my sessions again. No back pumps thank God! Fuck Clen! Those past few sessions of back murdered me because of clen in the mix (despite supplementing with taurine and drinking lots of water)
I was going to do another set of 405, but again got distracted by my lady talking to me and me watching her deadlift form... so I was like aw fuck.. but I felt great. My mood was real great today.
Life Fitness row/rear delt machine
- 160x20
- 175x18
- 185x4 had to stop as I literally felt the shits coming (constipation going away lmao, the contractions from deadlifts made me wana finally go). Next session without deadlifts I'll go high volume and push on these exercises, I am way stronger than I was when I first started with this machine a month+ ago
Hammer Strength front mts single hand pulldowns
- 100x17 considering I started the exercise and went up to this rep range it's good progress, I know 125 is my max but I had some golfer's elbow so I decided to not agitate and at this point I had to go bathroom anyway.
Looking forward to my next back session.
I think I have like 200mg of mast and tren left in the vials which i'll inject now before bed and off to bed I go. Excited for tomorrow to do some chest with decline and with wife spotting me some incline db presses (lightweight only, I have an urge to try, she is great at spotting).
