Mildly discouraged, 8lbs lighter but back at it
hey guys, some of you may recall I pulled off cycle early a cpl of weeks ago. Between being plagued with injuries and an upper resp infection I had to make the tough call.
Well, that upper resp infection took its toll. Took me out for two weeks. ZERO gym time and totally crashed my diet (as well as my life in general)
I have been maintaining a Cruise of test p (75mg eod) during this time and this morning was my first morning back at the gym. I choked down a shake, took multi-vits, liv protect, glucosamine and omegas, hit the gym, weighed myself (to my displeasure) and I'm down 8lbs in two wks. Worked through my ego and will be taking it light this wk to open myself up again.
WORKOUT:
15 min elyptical machine
10 min yoga ball
20 min legs (machines)
20 min chest (dumb bells and cables)
2nd meal (right now) 1 chix breast/ 1cup brown rice, 32oz water
I will maintain this schedule this wk (with the obvious variations being back, shoulders and arms) and will also maintain prop levels at 75eod as well as get diet back on track
I will begin to increase workouts and intensity next week and begin a prop regiment of 75ed and will make adjustments accordingly.
Battling the head game right now brothers, but I WILL come out on TOP!

Upper resp infection?? Damn Bro that is a bit??. Hope that everything is going your way now. Up 5 pounds already way to go Bro. Anyway nice to hear that you are back on track good luck.
WK 2 Feeling great! Up 5lbs. Decided to "feel out" the shoulder for bench press. Single plate on the muti-press machine. Slow and deliberate movements with little to no agitation (Good sign!)
Have decided to switch gears and goals since my original cycle shit the bed. By my
original clock I would still have 3+wks left on "this" cycle. I've been cruising for approx 3wks so I've raised my prop back up to 100ED (from 75EOD). I just happen to have 21 Zambons in my chest so I will run winny at 50ED alongside my prop for next 3wks and will backend with a 2 wk clen cycle at 40mcgED.
I will be dropping my cals to 2800, upping my cardio.
My lift days will now be MON/WED/FRI with HEAVY cardio days on TU/TH.
A lil headstart on the summer cycle : )
You guys are freakin hilarious...my wife woke up while I was reading this and was like....why the the fuck are you laughing at your computer???
i started to say well hrrdgrrrl said and then tread said....because hollywoodboy is... and something NO HOMO....then I realized how what I was saying sounded.....
Way to fucking complex to explain!!!!
Good for u hollywood! Keep paying attention to ur body bro, it knows best. Actual Yoga would also help with the Mind Tricks ur talking bout.
tread-mNothing to indicate you survived day 2 of the come back?
Back is BACK brutha! I have my sites on WEEK 2 not DAY 2...
tread-mBOOM! UP 8+2 BY THEN I'M THINKIN
3 lbs in 4 days... and thats WITHOUT the EQ! I'm sure its not all beef but its good for the psyche anyway : )
tread-mWell yeah and I'm sure you depleted some essential weight aside of muscle with that illness. I had something similar for I think around 5 or 6 weeks, would not go away and know where you are. Up is up brother, keep it comin!
Whats with the yoga ball tho?
Bro, I am pushing 44... it stretches and opens my back and shoulders up. Its been a really nice addition to my warm ups (once i got past the whole HOMO thing)... same with the elyptical, NEW addition but very low impact cardio and pushes my heart rate x2 compared to the tread for same amount of time (again getting past the HOMO thing)
tread-mWhoaaaaaaa....hold up there cuz, "IF" AND ONLY "IF" the Tread was involved your heart rate would destroy that of the yoga ball and Tread has his own yoga balls bitches! No homo of course
yeah i get that, my lower back is shot and i'm a decade behind you. The things i need to do before the workout to relax my lower back would turn Rick Santorum into a faithless gay heretic.
I can't do shit before i hear a loud "pop" and i know the disk is back where it's supposed to be, and that usually only happens in an awkward ass high/head low pose which opens up my asshole so wide and deep i imagine i could start breathing thru it. So i'm not too worried about the homo thing lol.
Never tried the ball though...
wow. thats some shit there. isnt ol' dick already a faithless gay heretic? People who preach hate that hard are hiding something. "Methinks thou doth protest too much"
Anonyoga is good for you .. you should try it..
I don't think yoga and yoga ball have that much in common really
Anonwhy you think you might end up looking like a seal balancing the ball on your nose?
Agreed i do it twice a week witb the wife and the flexibility its giving me is helping me alot less back pain as well
i know it sounds lame but the Yoga X in P90x isn't that bad. I enjoy it even though it does eat an hour and a half of my life once a week.
Good show. Hardest step is the first step. Today is my first day back at it as well. Lower back strain.
Boston8lbs in 2 weeks is tough to take. Im the same way man. Take a week off and 3-4lbs is gone. Hate it. You know you'll get back there and some = ) Good luck to you.
Glad to see you back at it bro. Dont stress those 8lbs you will gain em back in no time.
Hurts when the scales don't move or go backwards no doubt you'll bounce back harder and stronger than ever.
good deal. glad to hear you are better. you say you kept up 75mg eod. are you doing a cruise? in your off time.
Keep your head up 8 lbs aint much i gurantee you it aint all muscle it will come right back on in no time
