They test for that kind of crap? I always was under the presumption that tests that screen for test levels were expensive and werent done unless sports related.
Wouldnt taking prohormones give you a false positive anyway if screened in a test?

I will give that a try next if the SUS-500 isn't all it is purported to be...Thanks, Gerry!

Not much gas today on back, so I didn't push it. 6 sets of pull-ups from 19 to 10, heavy pulldowns and some DB rows. Hit shoulders quick but heavy. Hope to save a little gas for my game tonight, that's why I skipped any deadlifts, T-Bars or Bent Over Rows.

Tomorrow is supposed to be leg day, but I have semi-final game #2 tomorrow night, so legs will be off until Wed. or Thurs.

Interested to hear how it works for you, Tom. Never heard of it before

I just heard of it recently too, Jim, I hadn't given much thought to any new prohormones since the ban...but the results I have seen a couple of friends get with this one made me curious.

Ganna read up on prohormones, as I'm not very familiar with them in general

I think it is akin to other supplements...what works for one guy might not work for the next. I will let you know what I think once I am a couple weeks into it.

Had another day of PBs today. Feeling good; feeling strong (for a weak and fragile little unicorn like me, that is).


Back Day

T-bar rows: 1p x 10 close, medium, wide (no rest); 2p x 10 close, medium (no rest), 3p x 10 close; 3p + a 25# x 4 close (that's a personal best -- most weight I've done on this exercise); 3p x 10 close; 3p x 8 close

BB rows: 135 x 10 close; 185 x 8 medium (the rest are medium, too); 195 x 8; 205 x 7; 225 x 5 (ties a PB)

1-arm DB rows: 3 sets of 8 @ 100

Cable low rows: 2 sets of 6 @ 225

Deadlifts: 135 x 25 (quick) -- I was just messing around and wondered how many I could do before I had too much lactic acid buildup. I guess 25 is the number.

Anyway ... that was my day. Good lifting to all y'all today!

Shoulder day for me

[PeteSB75]

Some chest work today.

Flat bench was good
45x10 95x5 135x5 165x5 3 sets (PR)
Incline bench, just was not hitting the groove until my last set
45x10 95x5 135x5 165x4 155x5 2 sets
Dips - never done these free before, takes some definite getting used to, and a lot harder than just the weight added, those stabilizing muscles are not there yet.
3 sets of 5 each.

[King James]

interesting article on protein if anyone is interested.

Nice back day Dokk!

[Chris.]

I had a decent day at the gym yesterday for the first time in about 3 weeks thanks to a really bad cut on the palm of my right hand.

bike-warm up-5 minutes

pull-ups- 1x10 1x8 1x6 progressively reducing weight on the assist machine each set.

back extensions with a 10lb plate held out in front. 4x10

shrugs- 3x12x65

dumbell incline press- 4x10x60

finished up with cable pec flys.

decent for the first day back in almost a month I think. I'm feelin it today though!

[The Professor]

"Rest" day for me, today:

18min 10% incline, 3.3mph treadmill

100 ab reps (3 x 15 @200# cable rope crunches; 3 x 10 captain's chair; 2 x 15 @45/50# standing oblique raises)

24 minutes recumbent bike @ 10 resistance (kept heart rate in the 120s)

[Mugen910]

IMHO Fast 5k yesterday after work and then a light shoulder and back workout

[DavenportESQ]

Haven't been able to work the bench press in a few monthes now due to some shoulder injuries. I was messing around with some Split jerks the other day and it didn't aggrevate it too much so I decided to add this into my routine.

barx5
135x5
185x5
225x5
275x5
315x3

I was pretty juiced about this, I can't remember the last time I did this exercise. My PR is 385x3 so I am not that far off.

[The Professor]

Nice job, Dave!!!

[icehog3]

Glad you're able to hit the BP again, Dave.

I supersetted chest and back today, and was able to keep it heavy even towards the end. Tomorrow will be my last workout until next Monday, so I wanted to get in a good one....and I did.

3-4 Supersets of each:

Incline DB Bench / Pull ups
Weighted dips / T-Bar rows
Bench Press / Barbells rows
Seated machine incline flyes / DB rows

[The Professor]

Damn, Admiral ... my muscles ache just looking at that. Nice job!
