I told you brother it is no joke and a challenge if you do it exact in the way i describe, glad it has added a level of difficulty, that will help with progressing in overload and endurance over time lets get it

Hell ya bro. I'm loving it. It'll take a bit to dial in the weights but I can already see the benefits. I was like I can seated row 190 for 15 all day long but man those pauses took it outta me. I was pausing on both sides of the movement and I gassed out at 14 lol. Regularly I could probably hit over 20. Going full flexion and pausing the eccentric felt amazing though. Loosened me up real good for the working set.

Hell yes!! That is fucking amazing i llve hearing that brother!! I told you man if you do it on both sides of the movement you cant cheat you cant out momentum it... you have to use every fiber of the muscles in the body, an it will push you mentality because now you got to fight the mind and body dig deep and find a way, and ig you got 10 movements as an example your in for hell lol.

Learn to love the pain. The pause on the concentric was really new to me but it makes sense with certain movements when you get the really good squeeze. Appreciate the help bro. It's definitely never leaving my programming from now on.

Thats what it is all about brother being a community and helping any time i get the opportunity glad i could be of assistance my dude yeah trust me you will definitely feel it next few days lol.

Now imagine doing a complete full stretch and holding a dead hang pull up rep for 3-5 seconds before you pull up and through the movement and do that for every rep.

Lol actually I have done that. I do dead hangs when my back or shoulders get tight. I used to program dead hang pull ups a lot but started prefer weighted instead

 

[Noah Wixx]

I do it with dips with a 3-5 second pause at the bottom full stretching

 

[LevButlerov]

Last night was pretty sad @Masonic Bodybuilder

who played? LOL

 

[BeMe]

I do it with dips with a 3-5 second pause at the bottom full stretching

Oh man that would be a killer. Especially if you tilt forward and get that crazy pec stretch deep down. It could be dangerous to though cuz if you fail deep in the stretch I'd be worried about tearing something. It's almost like there's no safe way out when you're that deep. I have a rack mounted dip bar and I always worry about smashing my face off the post if I fail deep lol

 

[BeMe]

who played? LOL

Oh you mean in the "hokey" game last night? LOL

 

[LevButlerov]

Oh you mean in the "hokey" game last night? LOL

yes that Canadian thing LOL

 

[BeMe]

yes that Canadian thing LOL

Actually its your American thing for another year. Florida beat Edmonton for the Stanley Cup last night, so you're the hokey champs LOL.

I saw in a post where you said you're from New Mexico? You definitely get a pass cuz NM is probably the least hockey state of them all. I honestly know nothing about New Mexico, which is weird because you guys are bordered by such big well known states. Why is it that you guys are so undercover?

@LevButlerov literally the only stuff I know about New Mexico is the stuff from breaking bad. I know the southern part is all desert but what about the north. You guys are really close to Colorado so it's the northern side less desert lake more mountains and forests?

Log Day 68

Long day at work, but it was a rest and cardio day so perfect timing. Hit the treadmill to walk and run and got my steps up to 12K. It's been a little while since I hit 12K steps which I think may have been hurting my recovery. I'm well recovered today I think that's due to my cardio work. Need to stop skipping cardio when I'm exhausted and just power through cuz it's good for my body I think.

Ate pretty shitty last night. My wife wanted to order in from the BBQ spot so I got some Brisket and fries. They don't have any veg or rice options. Atleast the fries are homemade and good, but I think the high amount of salt is making my skin dry and body hold water today. Salt restaurant food tends to do that to me.

 

[Masonic Bodybuilder]

Last night was pretty sad @Masonic Bodybuilder

No way they win next year for the 3 peat! They will likely lose a lot of good pieces this offseason.

Oh god no..a Panther dynasty would be horrible lol.

Ya the rumour is my Leafs are gunning for that scum bag Bennet. Hope we don't lose Marner for him.

You must be the only Canadian happy that Florida won lol. The Panthers are the biggest rat team in the league...and McDavid deserves a cup...how can you be happy lol. Sad sad day I say.. ah well maybe next year the cup will come back to its home country and the Oilers can get them 3rd go around.

@BeMe I am north of Santa Fe, and it's nothing like the desert vibe you see in Breaking Bad. Up here you've got real mountains, thick pine forests, and alpine lakes that make it feel more like southern Colorado. Even in summer, it stays cool enough that you're not drenched in sweat before the warmup's done.

Oh wow that sounds amazing. Heaven on earth. I like the idea of living in a lesser known spot with a lower population. The interior of British Columbia is kinda like that up here. My wife and I are planning on buying an RV in the next few years and traveling around the US and Canada. Santa Fe New Mexico is now on my list.

Go Leafs Go. Are you a Toronto guy also? There's gotta be more of us here. The cities population is massive now. If you include Durham and York Region the population has to be pushing 7 mil.

@BeMe @Masonic Bodybuilder you guys know more hockey then i do but ESPN has a good write up of cap space and what teams are going to lose and all that https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id...keys-draft-picks-trades-free-agency-cap-space
panthers have 17M cap but they need defense and have 3 big FA's.. marchand, bennett and ekblad, plus they need a backup goalie. Bob is getting old, if he gets any injury their season is sunk..
they cheated though taking advantage of that NHL IR rule of using cap for other players in season. allowed them to get marchand and seth jones.. the bruins should be ashamed of themselves of all the teams they could have traded him to, they trade them to the panthers just to screw over the lightning and leafs on purpose

Ya after listening to you talk about what a difference hot yoga made in your life it peaked my interest. Actually used to do yoga, but stopped three or four years ago because it wasn't gaining muscle or improving cardio LOL. You made a lot of good points in the podcast and I'm and trying to think of a way I can fit it in. Yoga and meditation are actually 2 big things in trying to figure out right now but my time is so limited...I'm always so busy

Ya the IR hack loop hole really needs to be closed. It's been obviously exploited for years now and needs to stop.

Your Tampa Bay Lightning @stevesmi we're actually the worst offenders and the first to really take advantage of this LOL. Kucherov on IR all season then shows up in the playoffs and lights it up haha.

Log Day 69

I bet today is @BodyMonster34 favorite day in my log lol.

The working warm up sets and drop sets are changing my training in a very good way. Hopefully I can maintain this intensity for the entire training cycle.

Had a consult with my TRT doc last night about my blood work and it the same story of me overtraining taking some of my markers out of range. Nothing terrible happening though and it's all manageable. Basically I got the green light to keep going on cycle and maintain this level of training. Keep pushing and keep checking is what I say. Next bloodwork in 6 weeks which should coincide with the end of my ped cycle.

Added in 25mg of Proviron and upped my Anavar to 30mg sublingually pre workout. I seem to be able to tolerate the Anavar better now and I'm not getting the crazy pump cramps from 30mg anymore. I'm interested to see if the Proviron has the intended effects on my cycle.

lol yeah i remember that
they did that with Vasy too one of the years
in the NFL you can give a signing bonus and spread out the cap hit over years and/or do void years. basically putting it on a credit card. the Saints have been doing that for years. they are above the cap by 50-60M every year but keep pushing it forward and getting under the cap.

Lol it's pretty funny how professional sports really boils down to who can cheat the best. Who has the best lawyers and management to game the system. The best scientists to skirt the drug testing. Everyone's looking for that edge.

yeah the issue in the NFL is all the rules favor QB and passing. so a great superior QB is going to mean you compete every year. without a QB you stand no chance. either you have an elite QB or you stand no chance.
even though the chiefs aren't that good talent wise, they still made it to the super bowl last year cause of mahomes. without him they win 6 or 7 games tops

Good ol' Nicky. He was a beast of a goalie. Euro and French Canadians are always the best goalies. Something has to be wrong in your head to want to block 100mph hockey pucks lol.

Ya here in Toronto we're a lot like the Oilers. Tons of firepower but a really hot and cold goalie situation. In the playoffs you can't win without a solid goalie and that's a fact. Remember Giguere won Anaheim the cup literally by himself. Never seen anything like it. Too bad consistent goalies are few and far between and always in demand

We got Stevey Y's right hand man to fix Toronto these last few years. Shannahan just got fired cuz the team still sux lol.

The Bruins will regret that trade for years to come. All these teams are circumventing the cap with the IR stuff. Edmonton is being investigated about it right now. Hopefully they address that in the next CBA agreement because more and more teams will start doing it.

Naw I'm in Ontario. We get like average rain and snow here. The coastal parts of BC are crazy rainy. I remember when I was in downtown Vancouver I was the only one that was walking with an umbrella in the rain. I look like such a tourist LOL. I look like such a tourist LOL

Ontario is a beautiful place to live. people are so friendly !

just hate the cold winters

So two things wrong with that statement in my case.

I live in Toronto, which they call New York of the north...everyone is very much not friendly lol. People used to be very friendly when I was younger but in Toronto the Canadian identity has been lost totally and it's like every other giant metropolitan city in the world. We're the 4 largest city in North America and the vibes are very much like New York just on a slightly smaller scale. The rest of Ontario is still Canadian and the people are really nice. Anywhere within an hour of Toronto is full of assholes

As for the cold, Toronto is the 3rd warmest city in Canada. Lake Ontario is a large warm lake and it protects us from the really cold weather most of the time. It still gets really cold from time to time but it's pretty manageable most of the time. Not this past winter, but the two before it snowed less than 10 times all winter. Global warming has been very good to us lol.

someone told me there was a city or airport over there that stays very warm even all winter. not sure if they were pulling my leg or what but makes sense.
you should take a pic of niagra falls for us

and i'm surprised toronto isn't nice.. curious to hear @Masonic Bodybuilder opinion on that too

Had some "rockfish" for dinner tonight. Being in central Canada the fish selection can be hit and miss so when we see something new we try it. Never had it before, don't know what it is, but my wife cooked it up and it was great. Maybe @stevesmi knows what a rockfish is?

Maybe the Toronto island airport? It's a small airport on a little island right at the bottom of downtown Toronto on the lake. Only small jets and prop planes can fly in and out tho. No big commercial stuff.

Niagara is almost 1.5hrs from Toronto, but next time I'm out there I'll definitely take some shots. I go there from time to time, but the city is a shit hole lol. Kinda like Vegas north. It has a nice strip then everything around it is all drug addicts and poverty.

@Masonic Bodybuilder lives in a place where the people are still nice for the most part. Although I'm sure even he will have noticed that his area is even less Canadian now than before and people just aren't quite as nice anymore.

Ya the windchill can get you by the lake but it rarely gets really really cold like other parts of Canada. In northern Ontario it gets so cold that your spit can freeze before it hits the ground lol. That's cold

Log Day 70

Thankfully I can say my recovery is back on point. It was pretty tough from the last week of May up until a week ago. I was in the last phase of my 8 week training cycle and pushing my limits. It's nice to wake up feeling refreshed in the morning again. I actually woke up well before my alarm today and my body just didn't need anymore sleep.

Got my low impact cardio in on the treadmill yesterday. Steps over 10k. I was listening to the EVO podcast and @stevesmi and @Mobster were talking about pull-ups are the secret to bigger arms. I always program pull-ups atleast once a week in every training cycle. What I'm going to do now is just hit random sets of pull-ups throughout the week. Maybe a set or two in the am, another set in the afternoon, just whenever I walk by my pull-up bar and I have time. Let's see how it goes. I've always been more focused on bringing up my chest and back that my arms are falling behind. Hopefully these pull-ups will be the key to some good arm gains.

Drugs are a big problem where I am at. I can't even go fishing at my favourite spot anymore because it has been taken over by a "tent city". Very similar issues here right now that you see going on in the US. Excessive immigration is one of them. I wish I could go into more detail but I don't want to risk offending people.

Amen bro. Atleast where you are still feels like Canada some of the time. Toronto is the least Canadian city in this country. I'm the only person on my street who picks up garbage on the road, follows city by laws, or shovels other people's driveways out when we get a load of snow. That used to be just what people do. You barely see guys holding doors for the elderly or women anymore. The amount of garbage you see everywhere, even in nice neighbourhoods is disgusting. I don't get why people just stopped caring.

Immigration used to be the greatest thing about our country. People coming from all around to world to become Canadian. Bringing the best of their culture but assimilating it with ours and bettering this country in the process.

Since Trudeau opened the flood gates we're getting the worst of the worst. This stupid loop hole to citizenship with these fake colleges. Bringing criminals and people with their problems and beefs from home here and now Canada suffering. Poaching wildlife, littering, historical ethnic infighting, etc...all the norm now. Somehow we just voted for 4 more years of this. I'm afraid of what could happen if the pendulum swings to hard in the opposite direction too. We used to be a country or centerists where liberal and conservative was determined by how much and where to spend the money. This polarization of everything in the world by social media is leading to polarized governments who ruin everything.

On a lighter note lol

We have an American sub chain call Jersey Mike's opening up locations around the city. They just opened one near me and everyone is raving about it. The wife and I are thinking about checking it out today.

Any of you guys familiar with Jersey Mike's and have any recommendations on what to get?

I have no idea what it's like to cheer for a winner lol. The leafs haven't won a cup since the late 60s. Our cities motto is "Maybe next year"

Log Day 68

Long day at work, but it was a rest and cardio day so perfect timing. Hit the treadmill to walk and run and got my steps up to 12K. It's been a little while since I hit 12K steps which I think may have been hurting my recovery. I'm well recovered today I think that's due to my cardio work. Need to stop skipping cardio when I'm exhausted and just power through cuz it's good for my body I think.

Ate pretty shitty last night. My wife wanted to order in from the BBQ spot so I got some Brisket and fries. They don't have any veg or rice options. Atleast the fries are homemade and good, but I think the high amount of salt is making my skin dry and body hold water today. Salt restaurant food tends to do that to me.

Ya they made it to the second round for the first time in 8 years so that's something I guess lol

look at how many teams never make the playoffs
you canadians like to complain A LOT about things ! that is something i notice about you all
yet overall you all live the highest lifestyle in the world. i bet its cause of the cold weather and short days all winter, it frustrates you and makes you go crazy. just like people who live at high altitudes who go mental

 

[BeMe]

The Maple Leafs have always had the highest ticket prices in the league, the largest most die hard fan base going, and no Stanley cup to celebrate since the 60s. We pay more and support the team more loyally than any franchise in history. The problem in Toronto specifically is the expectations are very high, so much of the Toronto identity is tied up in the Leafs but there's nothing to show for it for a very long time and hopes are always high every season. In sport no one celebrates simply making it too the playoffs lol. That's a losers mentality. If you asked every player on the team how they felt about this season none of them would say atleast we made it to the second round lol.

As for our country, I think the truth lies in what the people say, not what the media shows you. Kinda like what @ceo was explaining about LA being down trotten in the media, we have the opposite situation. People remember Canada being a great place, and it kinda was up until about 11 years ago. Our country has been on a downslide since and it's gotten so bad that people actually feel it in their everyday life now. But if you don't believe me just look at the stats and see how we rank against other G7 nations. Look up healthcare spending vs outcomes, real GDP, Productivity, cost of living analysis vs GDP, housing prices to income ratio, housing prices in general. We consistently rank the worst or there about. Look at any of those statistics on a chart over the years and it's bad. @Ulter

If all the Canadians you speak with are saying one thing, maybe it's true right? I can say for the first time in my adult life the Federal government has actually negatively impacted the day to day lives of average citizens and that's why you're hearing about it. It's gotten so bad that even our state sponsored media had to start reporting on it lol.

Bros look up the temps today in Toronto and see if you still think Canada is cold LOL. High of 111 Fahrenheit with the humidex. Gotta be close to what @stevesmi and @BodyMonster34 get in the summer no? It's funny cuz I was just talking to @ROIDDERS about Toronto being the 3rd warmest city in Canada. Went outside at 9am and it was overcast and up over 100 Fahrenheit already. I picked a bad summer to add muscle to my body lol.

Training was great yesterday. The warm up worksets from @Noah Wixx are working amazingly! Everyone should be trying this technique, it's genius!

Current stack is 300 test, 250 primo, 200 NPP, 30 anavar, 25 Proviron. I'm not really feeling a noticeable boost from the NPP yet but I only pinned 4 times as of this past Friday. Gonna give it another week to see how it goes, and if the Proviron helps out, before upping to 300NPP.
