phluxx's Test C / Deca Cycle

[sean usmc]

Feeling very rundown today. I can tell I'm starting to overtrain. I've been feeling great and recovering so quickly that I have been taking out an "off" day here to train, and it's starting to catch up with me. I took the day off today. I'm thinking about taking tomorrow off too to let myself grow instead of just shit wrecking myself.

watch it lil brother overtraining is something that we need to avoid...its hard sometimes ..but we need to let out bodies rest even though our mind is saying get to the gym you bag...quit slacking off...lol simple we just say NO......day off..

 

[phluxx]

haha, yeah I know. It's fucking hilarious. I laid down on a bench while I was in between sets and was staring at the ceiling thinking, "Fuck, I love it here, I wish I could just sleep on this bench and never leave this place."

lol

I feel that buddy. So what are you weighing in at now about 185? you are in about your5th week right? the weight and strenght should really start coming on strong now or in about a week or so..thats what I keep reading and hearing about test..in the 5th or 6th week is when it really starts to show. Keep up the good work bro

 

[phluxx]

Thanks. I haven't weighed myself yet today, but I am sure I have to be floating at around 185. I woke up feeling heavy/very solid this morning, lol.

I'm in my 5th week now, yeah.

Pictures on Friday. Get excited. Jump up and down.

lol

woop woop
thanks for the regular posting this thread is interesting

 

[phluxx]

Did legs today, felt strong as fuck. The belt definitely helps. I can't wait to dead.

My 5x5 on squats (DEEEEP)

2 x 5 reps @ 135 (warm up)
5 x 5 reps @ 275

I'm going for a 405 pound single on my squat and dead soon, I think.

 

[phluxx]

Today is just going to be a day off. Going to do 30 minutes of cardio, and core work. I stopped doing weighted oblique work because I was losing v-taper.

I have another shot tonight. I keep forgetting which leg I shot last, and I'm too much of a pussbag to shoot my glutes, lol.

 

[g1234]

I hate doing glutes, you have to strech yourself and you dont see anything of what ur doing and its like impossible to aspirate without breaking your arm

try delts?

 

[phluxx]

I think you're supposed to use a 23g 1inch for delts, no? I have 22g 1.5 inch pins. The 22g require a bit of a push to break skin, I don't know that I could even do it, lol.

 

[phluxx]

So.. Chest/Tris today

Bench
2 x 5 @ 135lbs
5 x 5 @ 250lbs

Incline DB Press
1 x 8 @ 80lbs
1 x 8 @ 90lbs
1 x 4 @ 100lbs, then got a forced 5 rep out with a spot

My elbows and shoulders are starting to hurt. I'm wondering if I should drop my weight and increase my reps for a while to let my tendons and shit catch up.

So I went to take pictures today, and realized my camera battery is dead, and I can't find the thing that plugs into the wall to charge it, haha. Sorry guys. I'll take pictures eventually.

 

[phluxx]

Back/Bis today.. was very tired from waking up for work this morning, and my lower back was very sore, but I belted up and did it anyway..

Deadlift
2 x 5 @ 135
5 x 5 @ 315

T-Bar Row (barbell against wall with a vgrip thing just cradled under it.. 45lbs plates)
1 x 8 @ 3 plates
1 x 8 @ 4 plates
1 x 7 @ 5 plates

Bent Over BB Row
1 x 8 @ 135
1 x 8 @ 185

those are the lifts of interest, I suppose.. also did lat pulls and assorted bicep work..

Weighed in at 186 pounds, and I look like I lost a little bit of water in my abs compared to yesterday. I think I'm going to take tomorrow off, as I feel bogged down. I'm going out for a couple of drinks tonight.

Hey man nice lifts. You're a young buck so may not have the same issues as me but... your deadlift routine looks like what I did a month ago and strained my lower back. i went from warm up sets right into heavy weight - 2 2 sets and wham on the 3rd got nailed on the 2nd rep. So I would recommend that you increase the weight more gradually. But that's just me.

Overall looks good - keep it up, dude!

 

[phluxx]

Yeah, I'm probably going to start warming up with something like 185 or 205. It's a bit of a pull when you jump like 200 pounds. I have good form, and wear a belt, though, so I'm not really worried about my back. After I do my 1RMs in a week or so, I think I might switch to a 3x3 program.

 

[inhuman]

deads i always go 135/20 225/15 315/12 then i go 405 used to b 10 but now im strugglin for 6 we shall c tommorow this dbol has me insain in the gym this last week.

 

[phluxx]

inhuman, you are fucking beastly.

I can't wait until I can pull 10 reps of 405, lol. I'm hoping for a 405 single soon. God damn.

I'm going to jumpstart my next cycle with dbol, I really wanna see what that shit can actually do.

 

[inhuman]

my training partner pulls 6s too n this dude never juiced. last week i was behind in strength then towards the end of the week i was even ,almost ,now i should b pullin ahead again. he just competed 2 wks ago n he was blown off the stage cause everyone was juiced up. i told him if u want ill get a bottle of cyp for u. hes just gonna enter natural contests now. to each his own.hes a good friend n he keeps me rooted. i think he would only beefit from a little cycle.

 

[phluxx]

Oh, man. That guy would be a beast if he juiced. Too bad, eh?

I regret drinking. I felt deflated today. After my workout I felt a lot better, though.

Shoulders today..
Military
2 x 5 @ 65
5 x 5 @ 145

 

[g1234]

just two moves for shoulders?

 

[inhuman]

what the phluxx up brother.lol.yea drinking can definately adversely affect ur workouts.i just cant handle it im allergic i break out in handcuffs lol. shoulders look good whats ur trap workout look like. i like heavy shrugs wide n behind the back then focus on some good concentrated movements like slow upright rows. get them things swole. alright check u out later bro.

 

[phluxx]

ahahaahahah that's hilarious


My shoulder workout looks like this..
Military Warmup - 2 x 5 @ 65lbs
Military Working Set - 5 x 5 - 150 lbs
Seated Arnold Presses - 3 x 8 @ 45, 55, 65
Lateral Raises - 3x10 @ 20,25,30
Rear Delt Raises on incline bench - 3x10 @ 30,35,35 (can go much heavier, but I find lower weight gets a much better flex/development).
Front BB Raise - 3x10 @ 40,40,40 (hurts my shoulder to do high weight on this.. so i keep it low an controlled/tight as possible.. )
BB Shrugs - 3x8, 1x6 @ 135, 225, 275, 335
