Nice catch! First exercise is suppose to be incline press not fly.
I grew up in Texas. I also used to live in Florida. My first deployment they told us it was like 120-130 degrees outside. That was miserable lol.
Alright so let me catch this log up! Been a busy few days! Back was limited a bit due to left elbow but shoulder day it felt fine. I gotta stop falling asleep on my arm. I wake up everyday with my arm or hand numb because I feel asleep on it lol.
Back:
Dumbbell bench: 60x15 70x12 80x10
Lat pulldown: 3 sets of 10 at 100 pounds
Cable seated row: 3 sets 12 135 pounds
Straight arm pulldown: 4 sets 15 at 100 pounds (still my favorite back exercise)
Threw in some bicep pump work at end.
Shoulder:
Hammer strength shoulder press: 45x15 70x15 80x11 90x8

So after gym yesterday we made a day trip to San Francisco. Nice easy drive and amazing weather. A much welcome break from the heat. Think it was somewhere between 55-65 degrees between day and night. I will say the ferry ride to Alcatraz was cold. That wind lol. Alcatraz was a cool one time experience but I wouldn’t go again. Wife got some pictures and I will get them from her and post them on here maybe tomorrow. San Francisco was pretty cool though. Nowhere near what you commonly see portrayed on Fox News lol.
Today was suppose to be leg day but we didn’t get home til about 2am. I typically am in bed by 8-830 so I was exhausted. Slept amazing though.
Tomorrow will be arm day and then Saturday will be leg day. Got one more week left on this cycle. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and love the progress in my shoulders. Granted I know I have left a lot of gains on the table due to various issues. The injection problems that got really bad after that first month caused me to miss some time. The left shoulder as well. But right now I feel solid. I know those first 4 weeks were wild for me. I was progressing so quickly I couldn’t believe. Many of you here told me to slow down but I didn’t listen. Ended up feeling beat up when it came to my joints. However those problems seem to be gone now. My left shoulder has caught my right shoulder in strength and stability and feels better than it’s felt in years.
All of this means I have a lot more progress to go. Lots of hard work but I am ready for it. Learned a lot about my body and also injections(these are as smooth as can be now). Really looking forward to continuing these workouts and getting the intensity back up now that my body is feeling much better. Which will get me primed and ready for cycle 2 later this year.
Thinking I really want to get much bigger than I am now. Thinking something like Test/EQ/Anadrol.

And one more thing. So my original protocol was .5mg of anastrazole eod. I haven’t really stuck to this because I notice when I do take it I wake up soaked in sweat. Assuming I don’t actually need an AI? I haven’t had any other issues associated with estrogen problems.
@BrightFuture you fall asleep on the arm, you doing computer work?
on the back day you did well, you throw in cardio?
shoulders went well too looks like it
@BrightFuture I never been to SF but @SFDom415 is from SF he posts great pics all the time in his log - https://www.evolutionary.org/forums...d-jacked-and-crazy-sexy-for-summer-log.99416/
If you didnt get good sleep, take rest and skip strong days.
On the cycle, Anadrol is a horrible idea for you bro, too far, test and eq could work well with winstrol. To get big you don't need "bloated" steroids you need to just eat more and gear up.
@BrightFuture have you done any blood work with E2?
and yes you do need an Ai if you on testosterone, it's a common misconception (not just you) that if no outward sides = no e2 issues, its the opposite, many issues can be mental and physical, even organ damage
so best you keep taking the arimidex
whats your testosterone dose this week?
Awesome volume with the workouts
Yeah I just keep waking up on that arm lol. No computer work just working on getting teaching certs done.@BrightFuture you fall asleep on the arm, you doing computer work?

Did cardio as well. I am going to start adding the rice back into the meals. I feel pretty good but I am always tired. My wife actually said she noticed my energy levels dropped off big time after I cut the carbs to just the rolled oats. Think my body needs the carbs. Not to mention I feel like my strength gains stalled. Granted slowing down the weight increases was probably a good thing for my joints.
Starting tomorrow I plan to start doing the 30 minutes cardio before and after weightlifting. The rice believe went a long way towards my energy levels and being able to do the amount of cardio and volume I was doing initially. Had salmon, rice and broccoli for lunch and dinner yesterday.

Sounds good. Think I will roll with test/eq/winstrol later in year. For winstrol, injectable or oral?

No bloodwork yet. Current test dose is 450mg but I got one week left.
Still contemplating self trt. My concern with that is if I need bloodwork done from a doctor would they be able to tell I am on testosterone? Obviously at 450mg they will but about a trt dose of 150mg?
150mg gets me to around 950 test level which is on the high end. Without it I was at 230.
Is that a red flag for a doctor? I have had testosterone checked twice last year. Once is was in the 300s and another time the 600s. Life was dramatically more stressful back then too.
Meal prep attached! Tomorrow is chest/triceps. Feeling pretty good about my left shoulder so I plan to reintroduce barbell bench tomorrow. I plan to do this slowly so I probably won’t do more than 135 pounds just to see if my left shoulder feels as stable and strong as I think it is. If it doesn’t feel right I will stop and move on.
Had salmon, rice and veggies today again today. Very good and tasty food! I have reintroduced the rice because I feel like my body really needs those carbs. I have noticed that once I limited my carbs to just rolled oats in the morning my workouts just haven’t been the same. Wife even noticed that I seem to be really tired since that adjustment.
Went to the gym today and did 45 minutes of cardio and that felt great. Got this week left and then this cycle will be over. Likely going the self-trt route. About how long after the cycle ends should I get bloods done?

@BrightFuture after the cycle is done wait 2 weeks and get bloods and for sure go self TRT
and meals as always clean
get the bloods private dont use your MD
Oh yeah I wasn’t planning on using my doctor. I was asking more for future considerations. If a doctor wants to do routine blood work or something. I don’t think they would be looking at testosterone levels for that. Just want to be in the clear.@BrightFuture after the cycle is done wait 2 weeks and get bloods and for sure go self TRT
