Thought I would post a mini log for this. My hobby is powerlifting and I will use 1-2x per week prior to a lower body DE or ME session. Injection will be about 30 minutes prior to actual work sets. I will do my best not to change any pre-workout ritual such as food or pre-workout supplement.
Currently I am on 200mg per week, daily dosed, of physician prescribed Test E. Bodyweight 183.
Took my first dose, 1/2ml, this past Thursday prior to DE lower. Injection into right glute and today, Friday, the site is quite sore. Hard to sit on that spot.
If any of you have trained a WSSB conjugate style DE lower day you know these days are brutal. The workout looked like this.
2 x 120 yards backward sled drag to warm up.
3 x reverse hypers warm up 45lbs x 25 reps for distraction pump
3 x 6 reps GHR warm up controlled eccentric with an explosive concentric
hanging for traction x 3 sets of 30 seconds
Work begins
Safety bar squats 6 sets of 2 against average bands narrow stance. 30 seconds rest. Bar weight was 210 plus 100 in bands.
Deficit pulls 6 x 1 against mini bands 30 seconds rest. Bar weight was 315 with 100 in bands at a 2" deficit. I kept my volume a bit lower this day due to my age and wear and tear. I am 47. Pulls were just a bit slower than I would have liked.
Accessories
GHR 3 X 10
45 degree extension against doubled mini bands around neck 3 x 12
Safety bar good morning squats 6 sets x 3 reps
Upper back work-chest supported rows with an ISO hold at top 3 x 6 reps then 3 x 10 reps wider grip for more upper back
ab work superset with upper back face pulls
lots of hanging traction
rest between all sets is 30-60 seconds
I will say that I had more of a focus and aggressive mindset but you have to on DE days... Even though my body was angry that day I still moved the weights with proper force. No crash that I could tell either. So my goal is to increase my total sets and reps the next DE lower by going to 5x5 for both speed squats and pulls.
My goal is to see if there is an increase in available effort and if so I would implement during my next meet. So kinda have to test those waters with a few workouts to validate.
