Kuba's Intense Bulking Journal (X-Factor, ActivaTe, Animal Pak)

Day 15 - Tuesday - Legs
 
Squats 3 x 4-6 6x5x6 @ 205lbs went for the 7th and hit the floor lol
 
Leg Press 2 x 4-6 6x9 @ 360lbs
 
SLDL 2 x 6 6x6 @ 185lbs
 
Seated Calf Raises 2 x 8-10 10x8 @ 90lbs
 
Standing Calf Raises 2 x 8-10 10x10 @ 164lbs
 
 
Awesome workout. Getting a lot more comfortable with squats and my form.

Day 16 - Wednesday - Shoulders
 
 
Military Press 3 x 4-6 6x6x8 @ 105lbs
 
DB Press 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 50's (100)
 
BB Upright Rows 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 95lbs
 
DB Side Laterals 2 x 6-8 8x8 @ 15's (30)
 
DB Shrugs 2 x 8-10 10x10 @ 75's (150)
 
 
Good workout. My core must be getting stronger because on the 3rd set of military press it was much easier than I had expected, so i'll be trying heavier weights  DB press went up from last week (45's) and were also pretty easy. DB shrugs felt much better than doing BB shrugs like I have been doing.
 
Not sure if its the DOMS kickin in from X-Factor but my neck is KILLING. Ever since my workout on monday its progressively gotten more and more tight/stiff, but im stretching and pushin through it.

4lbs gain in one week jesus christ man! lol.
 
Max OT is a good routine, i dont know anyone who's ever not had results from it, so keep with it.

yea, i read as soon as you start takin x-f bump up cal's a lot so I did :P
 
I think 2-3 lbs is good per week, 4-5 is gonna be addin to much to by bf

Wow, awesome log.  Keep up the great work!  Activate and XF are both two great products.

I'd like to, however the cam i used for the beginning pics was my sister's when she was visiting from NYC. She flew back awhile back but my dad got some bonus gift for working at Chrysler for 15 years and we picked the digital cam, it's been at least 2 weeks now though still no cam =\

Day 17 - Thursday - Back
 
Workout partner MIA-- postponed 'till tomarrow

Day 18 - Friday - Back
 
Not sure what happened w/ my workout partner, after not getting a hold of me last night I couldn't manage to get a hold of him today so by 7-8pm I just hit up the gym alone :-\
 
Seated Rows (not cable this week) 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 120lbs
 
Cable Pulldowns (front) 3 x 4-6 6 @ 144lbs, 7 @ 132lbs (went lower for better form)
 
Bent Over BB Rows 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 135lbs, 7 @ 145lbs (did extra rep)
 
Hyper Extensions 2 x 6-8 7 @ 45lbs, 9 @ 35lbs (these KILLED, loved it )
 
Decline Weighted Crunches 1 x 8-10 8 @ 35lbs
 
Weighted Cable Crunches 2 x 8-10 10x8 @ 100lbs

Day 19 - Saturday - Chest
 
Finally got a hold of my workout partner. His PO screwed him over and he also lost his phone so that explains that..
 
After reading a post about partial reps I decided to definitly incorporate them in my chest workouts as they put more stress on the chest rather than the full lock-out w/ your delts and tri's.
 
Bench Press 3 x 4-6 6PR @ 205lbs, 4FR 205lbs, 6PR 185lbs
 
Incline DB Bench Press 3 x 4-6 6x4 @ 70lbs, 4 @ 65lbs (all Full Reps on these)
 
Decline Bench Press 2 x 4-6 6PR @ 185lbs, 6FR @ 165lbs, 7PR @ 165lbs (hmm, guess i did 3 sets)
 
 
PR = Partial Reps, FR = Full Reps
 
I found the Partial Reps harder especially when going till failure as this is when the weight really starts putting stress on your chest. And to think I always thought people doing PRs just had bad form and that it was easier...
 
Tomarrow I start the ActivaTe, excited =)

Day 21 - Monday - Arms
 
Started ActivaTe yesterday. Will be looking forward to seeing how this affects my workouts. Today I was very focused and pumped.
 
 
Tricep Cable Pressdowns 2 x 4-6 6 @ 72lbs, 6 @ 84lbs
 
Lying Tricep Extensions 2 x 4-6 5 @ 75lbs, 7 @ 65lbs
 
Close-grip Bench 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 135lbs (used smith on second set )
 
Straight Bar Curls 2 x 4-6 6x7 @ 75lbs
 
Alt. DB Curls 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 35lbs DBs
 
Straight Bar Cable Curl 1 x 6 6 @ 142lbs
 
Wrist Curls 2 x 4-6 6x6 @ 65lbs

Any updates on your progress????

Insanity= Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result

Boy has it been awhile.. so unfortunately I never really finished this cycle to its entirety for one reason or another..
 
I've recently gotten back into bodybuilding but im over all the "supplement" whoopla.. dont get me wrong x-f and activate gave you a slight edge in the gym but nowhere near the edge protein, creatine, fish oil, and your multi's do..

I went from 200lbs to 160lbs but within the past 3-4 weeks ive gotten back to 175lbs. Strength gains are almost back up to where they were..
 
I'd be willing to start a new workout log in a few more weeks when i hit a more reasonable weight (180-185lbs) and begin my next cycle and new training routine (DC training) which looks like the following:
 
500mg/wk test-e
35mg ED dbol
40/40/20/20 nolva
