I've managed a 495 before... and this was when I was at my strongest, I remember throwing up 465 for a fairly easy 3, unracked the 495 and the instant feeling of "oh shit this is heavy" hit me lol

I hear that, I have torn my left pec twice.   But I got some goals for 2020.  Big things coming

Whoa whoa whoa... is that a typo LOL 515lb bench? Thats crazy my friend.

Whats your height/weight?? I'm also curious to know your cycle history/plans?

I love seeing people successful in their discipline and knowing more about what they do. 

Lol, no typo my man.  My best lifts are Squat: 790, Bench:550, Dead:765

I just started this cycle.  Im currently running Test E 400, (800mg per week), Tren E 200 (400mg per week) and anadrol 50(1 tab per day).  Im usually pretty basic with things.  I might add in deca depending on my recovery and pain level.

Hey guys,

Week 1 Day 1: Bench/upper body

Lat pulldowns: 5x12-15
Db row: 4x12-15
Db incline press: 4x24 (holding both db up, right arm for 8, left for 8 then both for

This is a typical day for me for heavy bench day,  I have a 2nd day later in the week that focuses on more volume.  I feeling really good, healthy, injury free starting this prep.  12 weeks out and the goal is 2200 total.

I have been off gear for the last 2 months as well.  Looking forward to jumping back on this Friday.  If anyone is interested int he cycle Ill be running please do not hesitate to ask.

Hey my man. I was a member last summer. Just had to take some me tie you kno. 

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the ghosting.  Had a lot of life shit go on and I really had to take a step back and work on myself before I went down a really dark road.  Last I was on here I was prepping for Nationals.  I ended up blowing my knee out begging of prep and in a cast from hip to ankle up until 2 weeks out from nationals.  I ended up showing up anyways.  Ended up with a squat PR of all things and winning the 308lb class as well as best lifter.  I was mind blown.  

Moving forward.  2020 is a HUGE year.  I have recently had invites to Steffi Cohens Hybrid showdown in Miami feb 1 AND the Kern Us Open in April.  Im currently 12 weeks out from hybrid.  Im completely injury free. and my off season was amazing.

Ill make sure to keep this log going for those who want to follow.  If you have any questions about my training, cycle, nutrition etc  feel free to drop a post.

Current lifts:  Squat 790, Bench 550, Dead 765x2

Hope you guys are out there being a better you each day.  Again, sorry for disappearing but lets go get this money!!!!

I will be upping my PED protocol this week as well.  I will post that on Friday. Obviously I am only using BT these days.  Im loving the results im getting, my strength is going up quickly which is nice!

Hey guys,

Today I got some squats for the first time this prep.  My groin has been crazy sore and finally feeling good.  Ill make sure to get it up here when im done!

Deadlift day is the best day!

So, this week hasn't gone quite as planned and honestly its ok.  I was planning on pulling Tuesday.  I have had a ton of life stress as most of us do, been one thing after another.  I haven't been sleeping, started drinking.  Nothing too serious few beers after work or a couple rum/dr.peppers.  But, this is out of the norm for myself.  I went in tired as fuck Tuesday maybe 2 hours sleep and tried pulling.  I made it to 405 and couldn't even get the damn thing off the floor.  At this point I kinda just laughed and went home.  I rested for the day, took Wednesday off as well and came back today and just made deads my bitch!

1. Deads: 80%, programmed for top set of 8 and hit 9 for a rep pr
2. Pendelay row: top set 405x3, then dropped to 225 for AMRAP (death)
3. Lat pulldown: 5x20
4: Hammer Row: 3x12
5: Barbell upright row: 5x15

I am not going to bullshit anyone on here, lifes fucking hard sometimes.  Everything is not perfect.  Work, life, relationships, friends etc all can get stressful.  Sometimes I get depressed, don't feel like lifting, want to quit etc.  People need to realize that the vision people put out there on social media is their BEST vision of them.  Fuck that, I struggle daily with a lot of things.  I am no where near perfect.  I fuck up lots.  Thank fuck for my girlfriend.  She knows when to kick my ass into gear and when to settle me down.  That is key to anything I believe.  Having that partner you trust to have your best interests at heart even when you don't!

Thanks for following me on this journey to nationals, sorry for the little rant here.  Might happen time to time.  Whatever it is you do, do it with passion and kick life right in the damn dick!!

Happy easter everyone.

Week 1 Day 1: Comp bench

1. Bench: top set 8 reps @80% 
2. Close grip bench against chains: worked up to a top double of 315 + 80lbs in chains
3. Chest Press: 3 sets 15/12/failure + drop set.  My last drop I took form Seth Feroce.  Ill goto failure, drop the weight in half and double my reps.  I like this because if I'm    having a shit day and say failure I might only do 5-6 extra.  This way I have a number in mind and I don't stop till I get it.

4. Lat pulldown: 3 sets 15/12/failure +drop

5a. rope facepulls
5b. vbar pressdowns
5c. db curls

5 sets 15-20 reps

Today was a really good session, zero elbow pain finally.  Im finally actually eating.  Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a big eater.  I do about 20-30 min cardio every training day as well as core work.

As for my PED use.  As of right now I am only taking sus 350, 2x per week at 1.5cc per day.  Nothing too intense.  I will be adding in some other things in the coming weeks.  I try not to get too crazy.  If your taking quality gear the amount doesn't need to be insane.

After a busy week finally got in a training session.  Still messing around till Monday and the REAL programming starts.  Today broke down like this.

1. Comp Bench: 5x2 @91%  (this felt amazing, no elbow pain, nothing lingering and excited to start prep)
2. Bench with chains (close grip): 4x8 (really focusing on tut and building up my triceps and lockout strength here.
3. Pendelay rows: worked up to a top set triple.  Hit 405x3
4. Lat pulldowns: 4x20
5. Machine row: 3x15

6. Bodybuilding arms( yaaaaaaay ) lololol.

Later this weekend I will post my training split ill use for most of this prep.  I have most of it all planned out with my overall goal bringing up weaknesses.

Also, if interested, I will post my PED cycle as well.  I might get a little more aggressive this time around with bigger goals for this meet in mind.

Thanks everyone!!! I’ll try to be active as possible. Life is nuts atm. First day in this week. I’ll post the session in a bit. 

Hope everyone is out there killing it

Hey Everyone,

First day on here so love to hear from anyone with meets coming up, goals etc.  I competed a few weeks ago for the first time in almost 2 years.  Busy rehabbing 2 torn pecs.  1st time tore it off the collar bone second time a year later tore my pec in half.  My girlfriend saw excited I get when watching clients compete and decided to sign me up for a meet then tells me I have 11 weeks to get ready lol.  

Now, I am looking forward to doing the CPF Nationals in June this year.  Ill be posting training logs, diet, PED use etc.  Any feedback, questions etc is always welcome.  Prep starts this upcoming Monday.  I am aiming for a 2k+ total weighing in around 260-265lbs.
