Back at it!

Gratz on the 4 plate dead lift! 495, here you come.

[Bako Lifter]

410, nice!

[Beast]

Thanks, bros! Now I want 5!

Light DLs
285 x 5 sets of 5
followed by cable rows, HS high rows, machine rear delts, machine curlz

[Rileigh]

410 is a huge milestone in deadlifts. I've always looked at it as the number that separates the weak from the strong haha. I think there's probably another category in the 800+ range that separates the strong from the genetic freaks of nature!

Congrats on hitting that milestone! Hoping to get there soon myself

[Coke]

Good deal dude, on a nice roll.

[Bako Lifter]

Just wondering, do you ever think about doing another cycle some time in the future?

Thanks, bro. You'll definitely get there.

Thanks. Hopefully it will continue!

I'd definitely consider it, but not anytime soon. I'm actually making great gains now just eating and training right. Looking back on it, I probably shouldn't have done it years ago because I wasn't even eating right then. It was really fun at the time, though.

Medium (85%) ATFs
warmup x3
275 x10 sets of 3
then some leg presses

Any of y'all use a crockpot? Got any recipes you could share?

[Coke]

Fine leg day with the squats and leg pressing sets.

[Bako Lifter]

That's cool. I was just thinking since you're working in a hospital you have access to a lot of stuff, putting you a prime position to do a safe and responsible cycle.

Damn good squats, I did a 10x3 @ 85% last week, its rough.

[Cards]

Damn fine squatting!

[thecityalive]

I seriously just put a flank in with potatoes, carrots, celery, and some onions for flavor and have at it.

Not at all, actually. I've never seen a patient on anything other than testosterone patches, and since so few patients are on them, any other anabolics that they have in the hospital would be locked deep in the pharmacy. Hospitals do a great job keeping track of all medications now in the computerized era, so it's impossible for them not to be able to track you down for iffy stuff, too. Just for shits and giggles, I looked up "testosterone" in our pharmacy, and they have test gel, test patches, test depot, and test cyp. I wish I could order them for myself, LOL. Now, if I worked in a veterinarian clinic, that might be a different story...

Damn fine squatting!

Thanks. Looking forward to my ME days this week!

Cool. What kind of flank do you buy?

Medium (85%) bench
warmup x4
240 x10 sets of 3
followed by machine flyes, BB millies, and cable tricep pressdowns

240 was pretty easy, so I did each rep with a 2 second negative. I hope I can put up 305 in a few days.

[Bako Lifter]

Haha not what I was getting at. I was actually referring to you being able to keep a daily track on blood pressure and being able to do regular blood tests and such lol.

240x10x3 with pauses is awesome. You should definitely be good for 300+ soon.

[Coke]

Push day effort is solid Mike.

[Beast]

lol, I see. Anyone who has health insurance and a PCP can get plenty of bloodwork, really.

Thanks!

ME squat
warmup x4
315 x1
325 x1
330 x1
225 x6
followed by some leg presses and some DB curlz

Oh yeahhh, surprised I went up on the squatting since I only got 6 hours of sleep last night due to an early shift today. Life is great right now. I even met a girl at a bar last weekend that turns out to be not only extremely hot, but also quality. I've never met a quality girl at a bar before, lol. Only problem is I'm moving next month, but we'll see how it goes.

[Cards]

Gratz on finding the girl! Definitely get some quality time in there.

Awesome squats!

[thecityalive]

7 hour rule. Get it done.

[Coke]

330 squats are real nice, probably your best yet since you been back.

Good deal on the new girl too, might have to take her along with you, lol.

Thanks, bro. Yeah, it's refreshing!

Word.

Terry, I definitely agree. I had taken about a year or two off from working my legs, and they're bouncing back nicely. Muscle memory FTW.

ME bench
warmup x4
275 x1
295 x1
305 x miss
225 x8
followed by incline DB flyes, EZ bar skull crushers, and front DB raises.

Fuckkk almost had it. Will get it next time, hopefully. Maybe I'll take the next 2 bench sesisons light or something. Started to come up quickly, then got stalled about half-way. I think I psyched myself out beforehand.

[Coke]

Will get it next time, hopefully.

Will get it next time, definitely!

[Cards]

You've got this, next time! I want to see 315!

[Rileigh]

Nice job on the 330 squats!

Bench looking good too, almost to a 3pps bench! So close I bet you can taste it

[Beast]

Will get it next time, definitely!

I hope so, boys. Huge mental block for me.

Nice job on the 330 squats!

I would love that!

ME deads
warmup x4
315 x2
365 x1
395 x1
405 x1
415 x1
315 x5
225 x5
followed by DB rows, DB curlz, machine side laterals, machine rear laterals, and machine curlz

Awesome workout! I believe that's actually an all-time DL PR for me, too. Made up a bit for the shitty benching session, lol.

[HJP]

Nice deadlift! Always seems if something doesn't fire another area will. Awesome stuff bro

[Bako Lifter]

Hell ya brother. Beastmode!
