Test E/EQ Spring Cycle

Mate i think your smack on taking a cruise period at this point! I bet when you start blasting again youll hit new pr`s no prob. A lot of guys never cruise because they get too overcompulsive, and dont understand how important cruising is to gain strentgh and mass.

It's interesting you say that because I completely agree with you. I'm on a healthy amount of gear and I felt pretty burnt out after 7 weeks, I couldn't imagine what natural guys must feel like. The big thing in my eyes is that most people don't blast hard enough. When I am on a blast phase, very rarely do I not go to complete failure and tax my body completely. Like you said though, cruising is just as important if not more important than blasting.

what exactly do you mean by cruise?

intensity of training?
Carnival, Disney cruise lines?
Low doses of gear for long time?
 
He means he was not going all out but recovering while cruising with more confortable weigths.

Like mikea said... DC recommends a 6-10 week "blast" followed by a 2 week "cruise" meaning that for 6-10 weeks you go balls to the wall. After the 6-10 week period, generally speaking there is no set time and you work with what your body gives you, you take a step back and allow for your body to recover a little bit while using less weight and less intensity. This is crucial to allow your CNS and muscles to recover fully for your next "blast".

Take a look at the differences in my training reps/weights/etc and you'll see exactly what it means.

I got a bunch of good pics actually... It was definitely motivating seeing guys who made me look like a little kid.
 
3/6-3/8 (Days 55-57)

I went to the Arnold Classic for the Weekend. Went to the Expo for all 3 days, the Show Saturday night, and drove back home on Sunday.

I have to say that it was one of the coolest experiences ever. All the supplement companies you could think of were there giving away free stuff and I ended up with what I would call a couple hundred bucks worth of free protein, NO products, fat burners, and pre-workout supplements. I also made away with 15 t-shirts of which I paid $29 total for (2 were $10 a piece and 3 were $3 each).

I would recommend going to anyway at all interested in bodybuilding, strongman, powerlifting, or fitness in general. It was a huge motivator and I know now that I have a ton of shit to work on.

Jesus Milky! 545 on the rack pulls? I bet you did turn some heads - you wear a belt when you do those?

Awsome man - you are a powerlifter at heart!

Interestingly enough, I did not use a belt... because I was locked into the Smith Machine I didn't feel it necessary to do so... If I go any heavier (which I plan on doing), I'll belt up.

I am really conservative (plus maybe just a tiny bit weaker than u) but I always use a belt now with deads, squats etc. to avoid back soreness/injury - i think as you get older it's easier to injure/compress the discs (and especially now that I have a fukkin desk job) BTW nice work on the Pull ups too - That is a great exercise - and it's awsome that u kept up with it as your BW has increased. I'm trying to get back up there but find that I max out at 4-5 reps/set.

Have a good weekend dude - eat big! LOL

I definately take a lot of precaution with my back when feel like it's necessary. Because I was locked into the Smith Machine, I didn't see it as a necessity at the time. I have hurt my back previously and it is a miserable injury when it occurs.

I have maxed out on Pull Ups once before and I got 15 reps at my current body weight. I think they are an awesome workout for back, one of the best actually.

This week is Spring Break for me actually, so it looks like I'm only going to be training and eating a shit load.
