M4BTeam Pre-Summer Transformation Contest

[txpipeliner88]

Had a friends wedding yesterday. I think I got in what felt like 10 hrs of cardio. I was sweating buckets all day. Only able to eat once yesterday though had way to much going on to even think about eating. Will do my best to refeed today to make up for yesterday probably going to throw in a lot of carbs just to get my energy back up. Also will hit the gym this afternoon I am in serious need of some stress relief. (Been seeing this girl for a while and she has basically dropped off the face of the earth so lesson learned just pissed I almost let her get close to me or my kids)

I wasn't gonna post pics till the end but as I did elsewhere I feel I should here. My starting pic was older as I mentioned so my starting point was not good. Anyway I haven't been able to go the gym much recently. I was home so just got some quick pics done. I am fairly pleased with these pics as no pump and recently hasn't been the best. These peps I am on are giving me a great overall pump though even after just my attempted posing for 30 secs The flash goes off randomly so some pics look different. I feel with my mod aas use and the peps I am making great progress. Better pics to come! Just adding I am 6ft 2 so it's hard to fill out

Well I think I am feeling back to myself again. Took a few days to really get going. Shit was rough.

Starting back hard tomorrow. Let's see what I got for the last stretch of this.

 

[Sandpig]

Today's weight is 185.

Yesterday was leg day and decided to give myself a break from the cardio since I've been really consistent with it even while I was sick.

But still did twenty on the treadmill.

Tren is now up to 80 mgs/day. Everything else still the same.

 

[Dens228]

Well we all really seem to have some injuries and illness between the bunch of us.

I cut my workout short yesterday, really couldn't catch my breath. All day yesterday every deep breath I could feel/hear a liquid like sound in my lungs.
Today I feel better but won't really know for sure until my workout here in a few minutes. The wife is on me to go to the doctor, she thinks it's an infection.
I'm not big on running to the doc's but she usually ends up being right.

Sucks turning 50!

 

[Z28]

shit man get that checked out asap. my father died of an infection that started in his lungs couldnt breath good went to the hospital too late and it calapsed his heart, they couldnt revive him. 53 yrs old I spotted him benching 405 for reps a few days before. Please go now!

 

[Z28]

smashed a buffet last night not to crazy a little bit of everything really for taste. Deserts included lol.
felt strong in the gym today stength almost back up. did back today worked up to the 150s for 8 on Db rows. Not doing deads all row movements, when I get deeper in offseson ill hit deads hard. I dont want to get to strong to quick and get hurt. Whenever I add deads and squats in together all my lifts go up quick and I get carried away with the weight. Not this year more squeezing and see what happens. Approaching 40 hear in July went heavy for along time injuries all over and I wanna stay competing for awhile!

Week 6, Update #1

Chest and tris today. Was supposed to do cardio and abs today, but I couldn't miss the chance to work chest with my boys at the firehouse. They're the only people I feel comfortable with spotting me. I just did chest 2 days ago, so I was already a little sore and tight.

We started on benchpress, which I rarely do anymore. I could definitely tell I wasn't recovered from chest the other day on just my warm-up. Took my time and got warmed up, once I got loose it got better. One of my guys was wanting to max to see where he was, so I decided to go along with him. I set a new PR for myself, but didn't get the last press that I wanted, but my buddy did press the weight that I missed. That pissed me off.

I spent the rest of the workout really pushing myself. I forgot how much fun it can be to workout with a partner, especially if u trust them as a spotter. It really lets you push yourself harder than u would solo, but still safely.

Weight this morning was down a pound to 247. I'm really noticing an improvement in overall shape, and vascularity. I know I've got no chance at winning this thing, but overall I'm still very happy with the changes I've seen in myself since we started. I'm gonna keep it going last the contest for sure. I've got goals I want to achieve for the end of the year and beyond.

 

[yeayadead]

Goal is for lean mass. Im at 240 right now but wanted jump up to at least 250 before leaning down. But if its all water weight then im not bout it. I've never used drol before and i hear people using it for mass and like you said for precontest. So i was thinking with diet in check it would only help put on solid gains. How bad is it on hair loss? Tren is suppose to be bad but doesn't mess with my hair at all and i had very light shedding on dbol.

Im not sure on your goal, but I do agree with Sandpig drol has a tendancy to bloat a bit. But I do know of some guys that use it precontest right up to the show. Usually being really really lean and having your AI dose and diet sorted out can help with that bloat.

 

[yeayadead]

Also update.
Hit chest and back today. Up to repping 315 on the incline for 5-6 reps which is a new personal best. Killed tbar rows feeling really strong. Backed off my AI completely for 5 days and feel like it had a little to do with it. Sometimes I feel to much of arimidex limits my gains. Stuck between summer getting here and getting shredded or sticking to my goal of hitting 245-250. Think im just gonna say fuck it and stick to hitting 250. still gonna look better than half the terds poolside anyways

 

[Sandpig]

Weight 185

Cardio only yesterday and I decided to run sprints in the road here at home.

I did seven of them and it probably took about twelve mins. Less than the HIT I've been doing in the gym but man was I sucking wind!

Way more intense. I think each time I do them I will increase the # and not worry about the time.

On the negative side, they must've kicked my ass cause I was dragging it all day at work

 

[Dens228]

Doc appointment later today.
Mixed things up a bit for my workouts, three exercises per bodypart, one set to failure....rep range will be 5-8, 8-12, 12-20.
Just need a little variety.
So today for chest, Decline x6, DB Incline x11, dips x 21! Underestimated myself on that one.....LOL
Pulldowns x7, t-bar x10, cable rows x11
Laterals x11, and x16
Shrugs x10
Leg press calf, just did sets with 450, 360, 270, 180, only resting long enough to strip the weight, didn't count reps....

 

[Dens228]

Went to the Doc's today.......I have bronchitis.......haven't had that since I was a kid. Now I'm on Albuterol. Hopefully this clears up quick.

That sucks. I had it about three years ago.

Hopefully it clears soon.

 

[Sandpig]

Weight is 185

Push muscles yesterday followed by 30 minutes of fairly intense cardio.

Actually jogged for a while then would back off a bit.

The slowest I was cruising was 4 mph. Normally my high speed is around 3.8.
