Montego Log

I'm sore AF today.

Haven't had this level of DOMS in I can't remember when. Sounds like a good thing huh? No.

Lower calories, lower drugs, less recovery.

I'm at the point now where I'm not leaning out anymore but I need more food to recover unless I increase rest time between sessions.

Decisions.

Still moving the weight up slowly. Tried safety Squats today just to feel them out and I'm weak af lol.

Calf press - 180*23, 23, 22, 22 forced

Sumo squat machine - 200*23

Safety squat - 315*8 (felt good)

Gonna start to transition back into a regular nutrition program this week.

I'll be going on vacation at the end of the month and after that I'll be starting a prep so I need to get things dialed in a bit better on meal frequency and food choices.

This is also the 7th week I've been off. I'll finish off this week and increase my test dose sometime next week. Gonna bump it up to 600mg. Today I'm starting gh at 3iu Ed for a week or two then I'll change to pre workout only dosing. The amount is too be determined still. I've got quite a bit of growth so I may go a little higher then usual. Somewhere around 10iu.

After vacation is when I'll start back with 100% leg work. I'll be loading today around 70-80% so I should have an idea of what it'll handle.

Other then that..... Not much going on!

Very happy with the session. We're back to full tilt from here on out.

Felt good good. My rom isn't fully there yet or, I was in my head but, posterior chain felt very tight on the sumo Squats. Glutes and Hamstrings were stretching out a lot so depth just kept improving as reps went on.

I started gh a few days back and am using the last couple bottles of the Serostim kit I had open before my injury. Igf must have been rather low because I've been having very vivid dreams the last two days.

Vacation next week then we get to business!

Sweat check

Strength was nowhere to be found today..... Also kept getting light headed on the Meadows row so I'm thinking I just didn't get enough food in before training.

5'10 so, a bit taller then your average bodybuilder.

Thanks. I'm gonna see if I can get things rolling the right way after vacation.

Upper Muscle Rounds

Figured out why I thought my strength had plummeted. I'm still holding the slow tempo I started when my injury occurred..... 3 count eccentric on movements will do that.

Single hamstring curl - 35kg*22

Adductor - 100*23, 22

Split Squat - BW*25, 22

Calf Press - 240*25, 23, 22

Starting vacation tomorrow and I'll be out of town for the week. When I'm back it'll be a switch back to Normal tempo and fighting the log book once again.

Going to kick off prep with test only when I get back for a few weeks then, I'll start adding in some goodies.

Simple and effective -

Test and Deca to start. May add in tren e a few weeks in.

Final 6-8 weeks will be test p, tren a, mast p, var and winny.

I'm going to try to stay away from T3 this prep since it just destroys my lean tissue. I've got plenty of time so if I need it it'll be the final push.

But, your screen name here is monETgo and everywhere else it is monTEgo. Like the E and T are backwards.
