So you have not started the cycle yet?

So you have not started the cycle yet?

nah, i've been clean for awhile now. I'm thinking i'll start in 2-4 weeks.

Hey man - that's a helluva cycle! - 24 weeks? why so long - i always heard the 12-16 week cycle was a max length. How many other cycles have you done? This the first one as a married man? Hope your wife is on board. BTW what is your height & age?

One more - on that 10/31 work out - how much do the chains add at the top? do you rest between sets or just pump through it? looks like a great workout.

Good luck bud - hope you do a log when you start the cycle.

Good luck with that absolutely beastly cycle.

 

[Aztech]

we're looking at a 26 week cycle actually.
Chains are roughly 50-60lbs at the top.
The triples are done with 45-60 sec rest between sets...the set is done as fast as possible with one breathe.
6 foot even and mid 20's

11/2: ME Lower
Conv Deadlift w/ chains: 135 x10, 225 x6 315 x3 - Lower back felt a little tender so I stopped
Leg Press wide stance: 8p x12, 10p x12, 12p x12, 14p x7
Pull-throughs wide stance
superseted with
Calf Raises
Decline Weighted abs

PWO Nutrition: 300mg r-ala + 50g carbs + Taco Bell (3 hard tacos, 1 double decker supreme, 1 3-layer nachos = 1200cal, 45g protein)....I had a craving.

That's going to be a knock out cycle, bud - good think you have the time to get up to 240. At 6' - that should be really beastly! Thanks for the info on the chains too - that sounds like a great set - only saw it once at the gym but I've seen it in mags before seems like a great way to build strength on the BP.

BTW - had to laff at your PWO "Nutrition" at Taco Bell - used to be my fav for juck food too!

Also I was going to mention, it's a bit unreasonable to think your body can handle gaining 30-40 lbs in one cycle.

 

[Aztech]

being unreasonable it what its all about.
