I've really be trying to limit how hard I push myself and keep my caloric intake high enough to stave off any over training. I do see where you're coming from though, it's hard to keep motivated and determined when you're finally settling back into your normal hormone range. I may have jumped the gun, and if I did, I'll be cruising sooner than I had planned lol.

I'll be getting blood work back shortly, so I'll know for sure if I'm completely recovered. I'm just finishing up the 3 extra Nolva caps I have right now for the hell of it.

you know your body better than i do. it would take me a good month after pct to have the balls (literally) to start an intense training regimen to measure my strength. i wish you best of luck and ill be keeping tabs on your progress.

I'm really hoping for the best my man and I appreciate your concern. The thing about this program that I like is you're not supposed to take anything to failure, so in that respect it's hard to over-train. Also, you're using 90% of you real 1RM, so that helps you progress and minimize over-training as well. The only thing that I could find an issue is the fact that you are training based off percentages and you are shooting for some high weight/low reps. I think so long as I keep my assistance work under control, I'll do alright. Plus week 4 is a big de-load week and I think that will come just in time lol.

Easy... lol

I've been on a low dose of Accutane for 4 months now so I've been trying to stay out of the sun. A buddy of mine was taking 80mg/day (vs. my 40mg/day), prescribed from his doctor and they told him not to leave the house on a sunny day without putting on SPF 50 lol. So I have been taking it easy in the sun, although I really could use some color.

[TheMilkMan]

20mg Nolva
2 pumps DermaTherm Target

140lbs(80%)/5
150lbs(85%)/5

Assistance Work:
Flat DB Press 75's/15, 13, 10
Lat Pull Downs 180/15 x 2, 195/10, 8

*felt good but not spectacular... definitely under-estimated my 1RM on Standing Military Press, but I'm happy because I have a ton of room for improvement
*need to start doing some more cardio, I can tell I'm softening up a little bit, but I guess getting stronger isn't necessarily pretty

*need some good food and a couple good nights sleep to get myself energized

I've ran it many times... Generally, I get some shakes and a little bit of an increase in my heart beat. Other than that, I see no extreme negatives and it does a great job getting me going pre-workout and it does an awesome job stripping away body fat.

Sup Milkman?

Any cardio? Looks like Jim says he likes hill sprints ans something else I dont even know what it is.

Im waiting to see the #'s on bench today? I imagine thats what your hitting today. The 90% max is a tough one to judge I mean so close to 100% or failure. i will take your recommendation and quess mine instead of blowing something out. Im anxio8us to see next week your 1 reps thats when shit gets interesting, lol.
Personally I nhaven't gone that heavy in the past always been a pus lol. Thanx for your help thus far with the program. hopefully the knees will get better so I can do some full rotations soon.

240lbs(80%)/3
255lbs(85%)/3
270lbs(90%)/6
*I was a little disappointed with the Bench Press reps today but I felt really controlled and smooth. Not to make an excuse but I had a typical idiot gym go-er spot me and he gave WAY too much of a lift and it threw me off to the point where I had to re-gain balance before I could actually do the set.

Assistance Work:
Incline Bench Press 155/15, 15, 10
HS Hi-Lo Rows 2plates/20, 2.5plates/15, 12, 12
Tricep Rope Pushdowns 50/20, 15, 15

20 minutes of walking on treadmill... ~145bpm

Feeling pretty good D.

Gotta say that I've been slacking in the cardio department. I'm not really into the hill sprints and everything, basically because I have no where to do them, but I have been trying to do some low intensity cardio with my weight training. Hopefully I can be consistent with it and get some good results out of it. Maybe one day I'll start doing power lifting type cardio.

Yo milkman great log again!

I like this program and it certainly seems to be the it program atm, just like wsb was 5 or so years ago!

Dont forget about cardio tho, low intensity for recovery and health, and start doing some gpp work on offdays, now i dont like hill sprints because i cant recover, but i like sledge dragging, db farmers walk, and most of all olympic style complexes with bb or db`s, start slow tho! The complexes are great for giving your joint and muscles different types of movement, speed and most of all they will take your work load to new levels!! All the great ipf greats have had tremendous gpp, not like those pro fat arses who juice like crazy and do partial lifts with a robocop suit

You have certainly got the parts to lift big numbers in the future, just listen to your body and dont get ovezelous!! Move up weigths slowly and in the long run big numbers will come!!

Good luck!

Thanks bro, I love it when you chime in.

I'm trying to do some low intensity after my training sessions and I've been pretty good so far. As far as doing the gpp work on off day... It sounds like a good idea except for the fact that I'm still recovering after my cycle and I'd like to get more acquainted with the powerlifting style before I push myself even further. I feel like I could easily over train right now and I don't want to add too much in to quick. But in the future, I will most definitely be incorporating some gpp work.

I really have to remember that it takes time to get strong. I'm like most and want the #'s to be there immediately when in fact I need to let the gains comes in time. It's really something I tell myself everyday... IT ALL TAKES TIME.

Honestly, you're probably better off. So long as she'll listen to you won't get hurt.
