Mobsters Bulk/Max Strength 2025 Cycle Log - PSL/EP and Pur-Pharma-Canada supported

[Mobster]

Started the New Year bulk yesterday. First 4 weeks (of 8) will be Purity Source Labs / EuroPharmacies. The latter 4 weeks will be (assuming no issues with delivery cos of customs) Pur Pharma Canada. Any issues and I'll stay with PSL/EP

Dosing / cycle info as follows: 1050mg weekly made up of 175mg a week of Proviron and 1ml each of Sus 250mg and 1ml of Deca every 4 days (eqv to 875mgs weekly). Pur also kindly included a few Cheque Drop tablets (I assume 300-500mcgs). These will be used sparingly (like super heavy days or 1RM's only - 1 tablet only).

I'll weigh myself tomorrow. I anticipate beating my old all time highest bodyweight of 336lbs (perhaps 340lbs). One issue is I don't have access to a working scale (I'll buy one soon) that goes over the 336lbs.

I also purchased earlier yesterday a bench press slingshot known as a F8 Widowmaker. If it works as planned it might involve benching 260-280kg (572-616lbs). That's 6 to 6.5 plates a side. Another possible on cycle target is a new 1 rep max Hatfield Squat. The old PB is 410kg/905lbs x 1. I can see 430-455 as a possibility. 455kg is a grand - 1000lbs

Tuesday
A cr*p kinda session and all down to me.
Seated BB Press
w/up, bar x 8, 60-kilos x 8, 85-kilos x 6 and 100-kilos x 4 (completely forgot my elbow sleeves

Thick Handled Dumbbell Work
Dragged the 120-kilo bell out and was gonna de-load it with 2 x red bands. No warm ups etc. Bad idea. Then went and pulled the 90-kilos/198lbs dumbbell out. HAF. Again should have warmed up. I eventually worked to a 4 reps set LH and 5 reps RH. Again my own fault.

Dumbbell Wrist Curls - Flexor
10-kilos x 8 to 40-kilos x 8

Thumb Work
Light band. Braced the working hand on my thigh and used the free hand too. Hooked the band over my thumb and repped to failure x 4 sets (reps got less and less with each set). The thumb absolutely needs strengthening

Wednesday

Road testing the F8 Widowmaker: I don't usually train Wednesdays but I've a tiny bit of work to do Friday and I bench then and didn't wanna be time limited so...

Anyway. In a chat with the late Julia Mills I'd asked how much a difference this triple ply slingshot would make to sleeve only 1RM (202.5kg right now). Approx 80kg. So I did my usual warm ups then did a quick n easy 180kg with my Maddog single ply. Then the F8 went on and with Nathan and Gareth Parkman spotting me of we went.

With this on I couldn't unrack the bar. And I had to get Nathan to yank on my left hand and pull it into position with both hands a few inches wide than my norm. All new for me I always unrack myself and use a kind of close grip. Slingshots force the bar lower down than normal (more belly than the bottom of my sternum).We tried 200, 220 and 240kg and at no point did the bar actually touch my chest lol. I think it's gonna be 260 or 270kg to get it to my chest. And it's gonna be 280 or even 300kg benched for one 'equipped' with this bit of kit.

They look slick as f**k. Check these out!
