Day 74
Went in and did legs last night. The guys I have been working out with do things a little differently than Im used to but I think it can be effective. they are into the higher rep range which gives me a whole different burn than what Im used to.
Squat
225x10
315x15
315x12
Hack squat
270x10
360x10
360x8x270x8 - drop set
Leg extensions
I dont recall the weight but it wasnt much. It was still tough though because my legs were super pumped from the hack squats. I could barely extend them all the way.

day 74
I did shoulders tonight. Nothing really new to report. I'm still getting stronger and having good pumps and motivation. I did, however, try to talk some sense into some guy tonight. We got on the subject of aas and he said he was taking dbol by itself. I preached to him how needed to have a test base. I can tell by his demeanor that he didn't want to believe what I was telling him. He'll figure it out when his dick isn't working in a few weeks.

thanks man. Im hoping I can maintain most of it when I come off. I need to look into SARMS to bridge in between cycles. Do you know much about using them?
darkside06
Do Not Contact
yeah, a few times. never bridged with them but i got good results just running them so i'm sure they are a good bridge. Osta is great!
darkside06

how can u make your protein shakes with water? That never tasted good to me at all.
Solid Snake
Getting Big the Ology Way
yeah I keep hearing good things about Osta. I think if i do it i will wait 4-6 after post cycle and then run it for a month or two and then take a few more weeks off and then start my next cycle. it will be hard to compare to my recent gains but any little will help keep me motivated.
Solid Snake
Getting Big the Ology Way
i just chug it and dont even think about it. when i used Optimum Nutrition protein it didnt taste bad at all. I use myofusion now and its a little thicker so its an odd consistancy. i know guys who will just dump powder straight in their mouth and chase it with water. i havent gotten to that extreme yet.

lol!! I always make mine with milk and put it in the bullet blender.
Solid Snake

Day 81
Lifted legs last night. Overall it was pretty good. I dont know if its the way these guys lift or its just in my head but I feel like Im losing strength even when Im putting up heavier weight. It's a weird feeling. I dont feel strong but I still am. These guys have me doing some lifts I normally wouldnt and my normal lifts are being done in the higher rep range so that could be part of it. In a couple of weeks Ill drop back down in reps and see where Im at on my big 3 lifts.
Squat
335x6
365x3
405x2
455x1
495x fail -I failed at my first attempt. i was on my way back up but just stalled so I attempted it again.
495x1+1 forced - the second time i was able to get back up with it and forced a second rep with the assistance of my spotters.
Hack squat - narrow stance
270x15
270x15
270x20 - shoulder width stance
Hipsled
410x20
500x15
590x12
Leg extensions
not sure of the weight but we did 3 sets of 15 reps
Leg curl
50x15x3 sets
