TREN Xtreme - Day 10
Morning Weigh In: 185.5
Bodyfat: 9.7% (What the…!?)
Feeling: Pretty good!
Bodyfat today may be off since I took it post breakfast/workout. However, I’ve been sweating a lot more the last couple days. Dunno if that has anything to do with it either. We’ll see… As I’ve said before, I’m thinking of upping the fats in my diet a bit. This may be the kick I need to do it. Tren does cause you to lean out as well, so yeah… All things considered I suppose it’s possible.
Training today started with a change up. We’re keeping the existing slow tempo workouts, but changing the strength workouts to incorporate some drop sets, partials, and failure sets. More intense, significantly fuller pumps, overall just works more of the fibers that don’t feel it as much on the other days. So needless to say, I’m feeling it! My legs are still feeling a bit worked from Saturday, so that’s encouraging to know that something was done right. Bittersweetly can’t wait to hit them again with the right weights on Wednesday! Dearest Wifey I don’t think quite realizes what she’s in for… So today, here are my numbers and for the lovely mess of exercises I put us through:

1-0-1, Hi Cbl Bicep Curls - 2×12: 60/70 (Bit too heavy last set)
Originally there were partial reps with bench press. Found just safety wise not a good thing since the bench doesn’t allow good spotter placement with the rack pegs and such. After doing the rest of the workout, yeah… pecs get plenty of blasting at the sternal attachment so omitting those partials isn’t gonna hurt anything. Anxious to see how good of a back pump I get tomorrow!
On an unrelated note, I’m gonna be purging the vast majority of my "friends" on here (basically anyone I don’t talk to at all on a semi-regular basis or see visit my profile). Anyone who gets axed and actually cares, just drop me a comment and I’ll re-add you.

Since I have been found to be highly purgeable (my word) by a panel of ten experts, this note is in the name of pro-activity…please re-add me! And as for the partials, I’m not sure one would want to cut them from a routine that has the objective of building muscle. Knowing that broken down muscle is the first step in building muscles larger, partials have enormous potential above and beyond strict movements to accomplish said first step…just my hazy thoughts….

Ha, so you’re keeping the torture and piling on more torture… awesome! Sounds like an insane workout - how long did it take you to complete all that??
