COMMENTS: Deadlifts have gone up, but I barely managed pulled 315 (my pre-cycle max). So at least its going up. Not sure what happened in the 4 weeks in between (went down). But whatever. If energy was calculated at 100% before going to the gym, I'd say after the deadlifts, I had like 25% left of it. It drained me. With the harsh back pump, pain in the ass to rack the weights, I was drained after this. I'd say it was a good workout tho all around. I skipped 2 or 3 sets and 1 other exercise cause I ran out of time (I thought 1hr 15 mins would be enough). Again school work is getting the better of me. One thing I've learned is that if I was to ever do another cycle, it would be during summer where I have the free time of the world. I've noticed BF% went up a little too. It was steady/same since last week, but now its definitely gone up at least a percent or two. I'm not sure if its water retention, or from being bloated from eating 24/7. I haven't measured weight in a week (forgot scale home), so I'll measure it this weekend.
Also, a comment on the dumbell rows on incline bench, my new top 3 back exercise. You can actually feel your back getting worked (like 100% back). Will be sure to include it in further splits.

  1. loading and deloading the weights with back pumps can be a b*tch. ima try that incline dumbbell rows im kinda getting sick of doing the same exercises so this will be a nice change.
