Oh yeah blood work came in today. HDL came back only 4 points lower than on cruise and LDL is lower, trigs are always good. I first want to credit my diet which is six days of the vertical diet with a load day, next I credit my amino injections, followed by using less harsh AAS ie just trest/test and without an AI this blast.

HDL:LDL 2.5, Total Lipids: 154
HCT: 48.9
A1C: 4.9 (wouldnt mind this coming down more)

E2: 84 (wouldnt mind this coming down even more than a1c)

Todays vitals
BP: 110/70
HR: 66 (slightly up but a sign i'm growing)

Ended up being a repetition day, had over 1000mg of caffiene by "accident" so I needed to burn it out. Need to work on my upperback yoke for more stability so until than i'll keep the squats lighter.

First day of full carbs for a workout day, less than 200 today and less than 100 tomorrow, still 1000+ on load day. Noticing some accumulation of visceral fat, comes with the territory of 100+ e2, I need more ralox and to add some adex bc I want to push the ment dose to 200mg.

Waxy maize is so much easier on the stomach and wallet than HBCD. Looking to drop my test prop for more test base, would be 400mg of base rather than 500mg of base/prop, after several weeks of that we'll combine the 400mg of base with 400mg of Sust. Orals will come in when I put a new order in, I'm too lazy too buy more but also miss that toxic crap like drugs.

 

[IronLion2]

Dynamic A
Box Jump
Deadlift w/ Isometric
Bench w/ Isometric
Squat w/ Isometric
Sled Drag

Not sexy but v good. My dynamic A workout is optional and comes after squat day to help move some restricted tissue around and stimulate the lymphatic system. Really looking to make this day about strengthening my weakest parts like my knees and ankles.

 

[IronLion2]

Mx A
Sub Max - 6x6
Landmine Twist
Landmine Row
Max Effort - Work till 3rpm
Deadlift w/ 4" Block 325x5,415x5,505x5,595x3,685x3,725x3 (hook grip, straps for 685 and up)

Max effort is getting serious now, this deep into a block theres no guess work so less warm up and less second guessing. Loading fats on sunday is really making me wake up tight and full, carbs on thursday and fats on sunday. Fasted weight 204.

 

[TheOtherOne55]

MOOOVIN some weight brother. Good shit.
I'll be following this.

 

[IronLion2]

Test base is so underrated, I did a dynamic sesh only 30 hours after a max effort, which also included three workouts in four days and three 12 hour shifts. Didn't think I was going to be able to, waxy maize + sodium + test base = PRs

Dynamic B
Sub Max 6x10
Glute Ham
Split Squat
Dynamic Accessory 21x3,3x?
Front Squat - top set of 485, 315x8
Log Press - top set of 255, 175x5
Sumo Pull - top set of 525, 315x12
Assistance 10x20
Reverse Hyper (Lower)
Reverse Hyper (Upper)

Sent my old gear in to get modified and have some new hybrid gear coming. Hopefully when school starts back up I'll be lifting geared full time. I'm hoping to make a pass at a WR geared total at 184 in the next 3 years. I'm so much more muscular with the BEST coaches money could buy in this sport (literally I have the best coaches in my area.) So while this sounds like a stretch, I think it's doable.

That would be incredible IL!

IL, what’s your current anabolics regimen at this moment? I think you mentioned somewhere that you were gonna raise the test base and drop some of the prop. Any raloxifene in play?

100mg tne 4x a week starts this weekend.

400 test base
200 trest enth
350 proviron
210 ralox
1.5 adex

 

[IronLion2]

Big bench takes little bench

mx bench
sub max (all done standing) 3x20
pull over
pull down
push down
max effort 4x3,1x?
bench press w/ shirt
275x3,365x3,415x3,465x2.5,315x12 (feet up)
supplemental 2x8
overhead row
360x10,450x6
accessory 9x12
rear fly
press
planks

It's only a loose shirt so I still have room to get tighter in it, but I'm getting good with it. Most lean guys are way to loose in the posterior chain to bench, but again because I'm thicc for a light weight the shirt really helps anchor me. I honestly didn't feel much juice in me despite a rest day and refeed yet still hit a gnarly PR for a triple.

 

[IronLion2]

Not every day can be PR day

mx squat (but knees hurt so hybrid dx)
sub max (with bands) 3x20
good morning
romanian
dynamic effort 5x10,1x?
safety bar box squat f/ speed (raw)
145x10,235x10,325x10,415x10,505x10,325x20
supplemental
trap bar deadlift
505x5,505x5
accessory
leg raise
leg curl
leg extesnion

I really need to stop de-prioritizing the squat, you know youre fatigued when 100mg TNE doesnt feel different than 50mg. Weigh in @ 205 on the dot, in my mind I can get up to 220 and still be able to make the 184 class.

 

[IronLion2]

Yesterday

Dx B
Jump Rope (wild I know right)

Ficked my knees good and proper.

Today

Mx C

deadlift w/ high block
425x10
weighted chin
incline bench
225x17, 315x8, 275x6
hyper extensions
tricep extensions

I'm currently finding amazing progress by increasing proprioception through better body composition. The leaner you are the easier it is to contract as a whole unit, despite what powerlifters often preach.

 

[IronLion2]

Yesterday

DX B
Joint Isometrics
Weighted Carries

Today

MX B
Band pull/press
Bench w/ #1 Block

Morning weight of 207. I'm starting to lower the training frequency and get more efficient with my assistance and accessory work. Fatigue management becomes key mid way through a block.

 

[IronLion2]

DX A - Full Body Repetition

Big fan of doing speed work when I'm feeling stiff. Big bench and big pull in the past seven days and I could hardly move all day.

Morning weight 209, now it's feed time.

 

[IronLion2]

We're on to stage two of this block. We will be switch conventional with sumo for my primary pulling movement and move conventional over to dynamic day, conventional really does make a great speed accessory and my sumo is so much stronger.

Mx Deadlift
Split Twist
Split Swing
Split Hinge
Sumo Deadlift (hook grip) 335x2,425x2,515x1,605x1,695x1
Glute Pull
Incline Press
375x8,325x12
Floor Press



Could have easily added weight or used straps and added a lot of weight, but patience is king.
