I had probably the best leg day I've had since the start of the cycle, although I think my squat strength should be higher than it is. I would say the main reason for that is because I have been doing squats every couple weeks & not going as heavy as I should. I am 90% sure I will be doing squats every leg day now.

Cardio: 7.5 mins incline walk, 7.5 mins incline run. That incline running is kick ass! Don't like long cardio sessions on leg days.

Barbell squats: 7 sets of the bar × 20, 135 × 15, 225 × 12, 315 × 8, 365 × 5, 405 × 4, 435 × 1. I am setting a goal to be squatting 475 by the end of this contest.

Dumbbell lunges: 4 sets of 45 × 16, 55 × 16, 65 × 14, 75 × 12

Single leg seated leg extentions: 4 sets 15, 12, 12, 10

Super set with

Single leg seated leg curls: 6 sets of 15, 15, 12, 12, 10, 8 & drop set last set for 12 more reps

Standing calf raises: 1 set until failure

Single leg standing calf raises: 3 sets of 12. Do reps off a step, with slow rep speed & squeeze at the top with each rep.

Standing calf raises: 1 set until failure

I don’t like cardio on leg day either. Your doing great bro. Keep it going.

Always good to put legs as a priority. I used to neglect mine. If you do that shoulder routine some time, let me know what you think.

Being on and staying on a proper diet is a learning experience and a lifestyle change if done properly. Whether bulking or cutting you have to find the macros that fit you and each time you run a cycle with proper diet you will learn to tweak it in some areas and make it work more effectively. Your doing great. Big changes from February.

Thanks bro. You are very right when you say that the diet needs to be a lifestyle change. Definitely a tough adjustment, but very necessary! Your all's advice has been a lot of help.

My bp is another reason I need to get my bf% down. I mean, I have meds & it'll still be a little high I'm sure, but not as bad. I'm still stuck at work, but I will catch up on the other posts later when I'm off.

A little late updating my log. Was non stop all day & damn near late to work, so I just waited until now. Took some kratum to get a little energy to get some food cooked & catch up on some posting!

I did not workout today. I haven't decided if I want to workout back or arms tomorrow. Honestly, today was just a sloppy day all together. Diet was NOT good! I'm cooking here shortly though, so I will have tilapia, chicken breasts, pork loin & beef for the next 3 days. I also picked up some really high protein no bean chili. Not ideal food, but it will be set aside in case I get behind again like I did today because it will definitely be better for me than that shit out of the vending machines at work! I couldn't find the peanut butter I was looking for, so I just picked up some reduced fat Jif & also some more powdered peanut butter.

Gear update

Test prop- 100 mg eod
Tren ace- 150 mg eod
MK677- 25 mg ed

I haven't been taking an ai for over a week. I feel like I am starting to take on some water retention & feeling a little "fluffy". I will throw in .5 mg of adex eod for the next few days. Other than that, I am loving this basic, but effective stack I'm using.

You just reminded me of something I do sometimes & also reminded me to cook some eggs tonight. I like putting eggs on a tortilla too & than use hot picante for sauce.

I love a good log. Seen your pics from early this year and a couple from this month. Looking like you’ve come a good ways. Going to read more on this log as it’s a big one tonight and tomorrow. Looking forward to watching your process big guy.
