@Frogger And this is a great little workout. You put together, I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work and keep grinding.

@Frogger I like the different exercises you're doing. This is definitely hardcore. The volume is insane.
Welcome back brother
@Frogger The soreness you're feeling suggests you hit the right intensity for someone getting back into consistent training.
That's always what I'm targeting. Chasing DOMS without pushing weights that'll cause joint/connective tissue injuries rather than trying to lift the biggest numbers.
When is your blast happening? you pushing hard now? @Frogger
I'll have to find where I marked a calendar but I believe this week was the third since upping my dosages which unfortunately lined up perfectly with those poor couple of weeks I had. I won't pretend the massive change in hormones didn't play a part in that, but it was largely outside factors.
Pushing harder now with some more carbs in the diet and still around that 200g protein mark, aiming for my scale weight to increase a few hundred grams (approx 1lb) a week now that the initial water and glycogen increase has plateaued. Late night shoulder session coming tonight (which should have been last night really) and then I'll be moving into morning sessions over the weekend to line up with next week's work. I'll get some pump pictures tonight after work.
Check and let us know I think you're ready.
I couldn't find a note of when my first blast pin was, but I'm almost certain this was my third week of increased dosages (500mg test e, 400mg mast e).
Relatively short session tonight as I put a fair amount of fatigue on my delts with my first exercise.
DB Shoulder press
2 sets of 10x17.5kg warmup
15x30kg
12x30kg
12x30kg
11x30kg
DB Rear delt raise
4 sets of 10x10kg, powerful concentric and controlled eccentric
Incline sit ups
3 sets of 10 with a 15kg plate held in front of my face. Powerful concentric making sure not to swing the weight to create any advantage, and exaggerated controlled eccentric
Front and side delt isolations with dumbbells followed but since they were decently worn out to begin with I just burnt them out with the 6kg DBs and didn't track reps.
Notes on the pictures: What looks like chest acne is mostly from shaving irritation from earlier this week, and my abs look (slightly) better in person. I'm definitely softer and my obliques blow out with water like crazy if I even look at food, but the 6 pack area is a little tighter than it appears in the picture. I definitely should have gotten up a chest and bicep pump for better pictures but I was keen to get home and rest.
For those playing at home who may want to work out an approximation of my actual size, I'm 175cm, sitting around the 89kg mark, 123cm around the chest, 43cm around the bicep/tricep (forever stuck at this because the long muscle bellies seem to get thicker and longer but never peak higher. 134cm around the shoulders but this is a self measurement and probably has a fair margin of error. Waist is 84cm right now but very soft. Surprisingly this comes fairly close to that "golden ratio" of shoulders to waist even though I think it looks god awful on camera, but maybe that's just my exceedingly poor body photography skills.
All in all I'm feeling good and feeling bigger than I have for a while even though the blast is still ramping up.
