Gotta' love the Farmer's Walk. Good work man!

Absolutely. I used 45s in each hand, 2 minutes is all I wanted. I usually just do sets of a certain distance, but that two minutes consecutively was tough lol. Each workout I use them, I'll add an additional 2 minute "set."

NOV, First time looking at your log. I am a powerlifter. I have never tried 5/3/1/, but I know Wendler is sharp. I have never had luck with percentage based routines. My training is typical WS give or take dynamic work depending on how I feel and how much time I have. I think when you can tell you are no longer making gains its time to deload. I would also say that IMHO you could make the same gains with less gear. My last meet I ran 300test, 300tren 300npp wk and 1 anadrol a day and I weighed in at 306. I used to always run a gram of test or more but looking back it was a waste. Just saying you might experiment some time. Nice log. Keep up the work.

Training looking good bro, ready to see those numbers on PR day! I'm sure you'll crack ahead of me during my prep, but come winter after august I'll pass you right up!! Muahahaha 😉

Thanks brother. I was actually researching some low test cycles, considering moderate test high Tren next time around with drol.

Hell yeah 😛 Id be lucky to still squat 500 and bench 385 right now hahah, but after my comp id say I can be right back where I was in 2 months, then its on!!! I'm sure you'll be pretty close to my bench max by then and probably at or past my squat. So it'll be a fun ride lol

Absolutely. A little healthy competition never hurt anyone!

It seems to be a trend that is catching on. The high test kills your collagen levels. Deca and Eq will raise collagen levels. I think this is so much better for your joints and tendons which we have already pushed beyond their limits. If you run the low test with tren I would look at winny for your oral. OB had research that winny combats the prog from the tren.

 

[Hanzo]

I agree. I've ran over a gram of Test/week and now I think it was a total waste. I'm more into lower Test (actually around or a little above trt levels) and run the Tren either close (at least 350mg's/week) or a little higher.

it all depends what level you are at, training and diet.
Just throwing a shitload of gear is no good and total waste for most.

 

[sportsfreak]

Currently running 200 test, 400 tren and 600 EQ and already one of the best yet. I'm becoming a firm believer that the lower test with other compounds is a good thing! Side are minimal and strength is climbing steadily...

And your lookin good brother...you gotta a good frame that will serve you well. A besides...we have to keep up with our Vared up wives...they put us to shame.

 

[TSizemore]

Generally every fourth week, but being back on cycle, im going to stretch it to every seventh week. I know it's necessary, but I hate it. I want to progress! Lol.

Suck it up, N.O.V...........Deload is vital to the 5/3/1 program!! It's one of the best strength building regimens out there. The first 2 or 3 cycles of de-load week are pretty easy weight wise, but hang on....you'll get to the point where you'll be glad you're there. (Ok, really you'll always hate the light weight of de-load, but it's still a welcome blessing after 3 weeks of progressive heavy) Lol

Haha I hear ya man. Actually, I was reading in beyond 5/3/1 where he offers a six week progression, and a seventh week deload. Im going to give that a shot, if it proves too much I'll step back to every fourth. Poundages are climbing rapidly, raw totals should be around 1460-70 in no time.

Weighed in at 241 today. Definitely packing the pounds on already. Felt amazing in the gym, could've gone for two more hours. Massive pump. Looking nasty large right now.. shoulders look like I need to turn sideways to walk through the door. The test, npp, and orals are all doing their job. Won't be a bit surprised to finish this cycle out at or over 260.
