Went up a full plate on each side on the cybex leg press today. Got the same amount of reps out with the ultra slow 8 sec count. Was brutal. Legs are jello. Will be shooting for about 700 grams carbs today and about 200 grams protein.

This might be the last week of doing the slow 8 count reps. 3 weeks is enough of this hell. Will be going back to the normal heavy stuff again when IGF-1 Starts back up next week. Chest and tri's are fried today on low volume. Doesn't take many sets to grow which is a good thing. I know what my body responds well too and nobody will change my mind. The older I get the smarter I become. If I had done 3 sets of each excercise I would have likely been overtrained today. Never did get my 700 grams of carbs in yesterday. Only hit about 550. Today will be about 500 grams. Protein will stay about 250 which is plenty for me to grow on.

Decided we were due for a deload as I am not concerned about gaining any more strength or weight so I dropped the Tbol yesterday and am taking this day to just deload and off during the weekend. I have as much muscle and strength as anytime in the last 30 years so I am happy with how things are moving along. Going sideways is not a bad idea for the next few weeks. IGF-1 starts back up again on Monday for a month so I am sure I will continue to put on size without hardly trying. Not sure if we will deload legs on Monday or not. All depends how the body feels after this weekend. Have a nice weekend everyone!!!

Also back on the IGF-1 LR3 at 50mcg and IGF-1 DES 50mcg 2X after workouts. Will go the next month and then be done with it for a few months most likely this fall when I start another bulk.

Felt good to go heavy again. Will be doing this for the remainder of my bulk through the end of the month and then take another deload. Lots a few lbs. Haven't changed anything latgely other than stopping the 40mg per day of tbol last week. Went 10 lbs heavier on my incline press today for the same reps and sets. I will take that!!!

Felt good to go heavy on back today. Finally maxed out the low cable row today. Felt heavy but good. Can really feel the muscle packing onto my frame. Pretty good considering I am no longer taking any Tbol and continue to increase size and strength every week. 4 more weeks of this and then will look to maintain size and strength for a couple months before hitting a cutting cycle. My goal is to be stronger at the end of the cutting cycle than I am right now. Should be doable since I expect to keep increasing strength over the next few months. As long as I dont get injured I always keep getting stronger. Just got to keep elbow healthy. Still bugs me but I am can deal with it for now. I wonder if I should stop the HGH after this cycle is over and see if its just growing pains. It definitely is a tendon on the tricep going into the elbow.

Much Stronger again today vs the last time I done heavy shoulder/arms. Went up another 20 lbs on my Hammer Strength Shoulder Press. Shoulder still feels good. I never want to come off NPP. Also increased weights on front raise and hammer curls and all tricep exercises. 3 more weeks of heavy lifting on this cycle. Hoping for another 1-2 lbs of lean muscle by months end.

Legs felt strong today. Would have been able to do much more had I had knee sleeves but kept it light just to make sure and not hurt the knee joint. Still got a good amount of stress to the muscles and they are pumped good so I should get some good muscle growth with the IGF and extra carbs today. Will be shooting for 250-300 grams protein and about 500 grams carbs for the day. 180mcg of IGF being taken today to help glycogen loading and postive nitrogen balance. Next two days will be off and then back at it hard for Fri-Sat. Everyone lift big and get bigger!!!
