AMS Anabolic Growth Kit RD- Packin on Pounds for P5sky

[p5sky]

I am kicking off the New Year with a cycle of

Advanced Muscle Science- Anabolic Growth Kit RD

• 1-Androsterone RD
• Decavol RD
• 4-AD RD

My goals are to gain some size and strength while shedding bodyfat. I am 5-7 and 170lbs, maybe see if I can get up to 178-180 while staying lean. I focus on bodybuilding workouts but I also started competing in Triathlons last year, so my training do get some tweaks. I will be doing a tri in late Feb so I get in plenty of cardio. It is tough balancing the 2 training styles as tri season kicks in during the summer.

Cycle
1-AD 2/2/2/2
Deca 2/2/2/2
4-AD 0/0/2/2/2/2

PCT:

• Clomid
• Bulk DAA
• AMS AromX
• Anadraulic State

My log will include wt changes and overall effects on strength, attitude, libido. I probably wont include daily workouts, just highlight some key changes (PRs) during cycle and PCT.

Any advice, criticisms are welcome!

Final Review- AMS Anabolic Growth Kit

I really enjoyed this cycle, I was sad to have it end. I got some good strength gains and wt gain. I did not do a max lift early on but did at the end, next log I will do that for comparisons. I started with 2 tabs/day for each 1AD, Deca, 4AD and got solid gains. I did want to experiment and upped to 3/day for weeks 5-7. I dont think there was a huge difference for me, the first 4 weeks were great at 2. Next time I will keep the dose at 2/day for effectiveness and cost efficiency, if 2 is good why increase?

Wt: +8lbs, from 170 to 178
Bench: started with 5 reps of 225, finished with 275x2
Lat Pulldowns: 200x7 +2 reps
Arms: 15.75>>16.125
Curls: PR of 55x6

A lot of lifts were comparable from an Epi cycle several yrs ago but with less concern for BP and pumps.

Flavor: 10/10 kind of like a breath mint, tasted good

Strength: 8/10 quick gains in weeks 1-3, then it tapered a little but still solid gains. Probably better to have the slower gains so that it is easier to maintain those gains post cycle. I grew superfast from SD, but it was difficult to keep.

Sides: 8/10 noticed some lethargy in weeks 3-5, it did seem to subside. No issues with BP and libido was pretty good for ON cycle, thanks 4AD

Energy/Focus: 7/10 I am usually pretty intense on my own, very competitive. This gave me an additional edge to push the wts faster. Nothing too intense or overwhelming.

Endurance: 9/10 I loved doing the hi-rep routines and finished heavy workouts with a hi-rep set. Even on heavy lo-rep days I just wanted to stay and keep working out.

Cost Effectiveness: 8/10 well this depends on how much you pay. I bought mine for 50% off at AMS, so $55 for the set was pretty good, but if you buy it at e-tailers then you will be shelling out $65-75. At $65 for a 4 week cycle you could do 4 weeks of epi at 50mg, plus the epi needs cycle support . . . more $$

If you are an advanced PH user then this may be too mild unless you up the dose to 4 or 5/day, thus it becomes cost prohibitive. But it would be great as an early PH option, it is mild on sides, slow maintainable gains, easy on the liver since it is not methylated.

What are the kids saying these days

1rd!

[scoooter]

Following - good luck.

I like your chosen log format

[p5sky]

OK, I planned on gettin started in Jan 1 but I didnt realize the gym was CLOSED! I started my dosing on Sat but I only did 1/day since no workouts. Tomorrow I will hit the gym and follow the dosing protocol of 2/day of 1AD & Decavol.

Any advice on dose timing? What is the half-life of these compounds? What I planned was 1 at 7AM and the second dose preworkout about 3pm.

Dosing schedule looks OK to me.

1.1 (week.day)

Thanks for joining! Good to have some followers . . . .makes me feel powerful and important!

Ok, today hit the chest and biceps and it was ferocious, I am sure it was placebo but intense nevertheless. So far I dosed 1 dose on Sat and 1 dose on Sunday, today was 2/day so reg protocol. The tablets are spearmint and taste good, towards the end they get a lil bitter-sweet but not bad.

I am also using Universal "Storm" preworkout (no stims) and a homemade intra drink (pslin, 50g WMS, 10g BCAA, 3g di creatine, 5g BA).

I am doing a triathlon in late Feb so that will influence my training, but it's my new "thing." Not as much squats but more high rep routines. But I still expect solid gains while dropping BF with this style of training. I will probably alternate each week with hi-rep (12-15 reps) and mod-rep (8-10).

WT- 172
Bicep-15.75 flexed in the AM, not post wo. I will use Bicep and thigh measurements for comparison mostly, easiest to measure solo.

WO Baseline Ref (not the entire w/o but the main lifts and wts to compare over the cycle)
Inc Bench 3x165x10
DB Curls 3x50x10

Intensity/Focus- like I said: ferocious. I had the alpha male mentality as I drove to the gym, but probably just so excited to get it on.

Pump- my chest was tight post wo and biceps were aching during curls. Last 2 sets were 15 reps so that def has an impact

Endurance- felt good, wanted to keep going. In the end I was dea because I finished up with hi-rep sets which killed me

Strength- def on par or a lil better than last wo. 1 set on inc bench my goal was 8 based on last wo, I put up 3x10. Same with DB curls: goal of 50x8x3, but I was able to get 3x10 with the 50s. This will be a nice baseline for future comparisons.

1.2

Maybe too much intensity yesterday . . . I woke up with my chest and biceps just ACHING! Hopefully it was mainly placebo and excitement for the stack, I dont know if I can take the intense DOMS for 4 weeks LOL

Tonight or tomorrow is Legs and Shoulders!

I will add in the 4AD in week 3. Dosing is at 6AM and preworkout at 3PM.

I read that staggering the 4AD will help with the sides such as lethargy.
1Andro/4-AD Cycle
check posts 10 & 11

[p5sky]

I originally planned to start 4AD in week 3 based on a similar laid out cycle, but it was slightly different. Should I start 4AD in week 2 or 3 . . . or should I see how I feel?

[AZMIDLYF]

I believe you bring the 4AD in when the lethargy and libido issues pop up. So basically see how you feel...

what exactly IS decavol? how does it relate to actual Nandrolone? Is it a ph to something or is it fully active?

DecaVol

Decavol, The latest prohormone offering, rounds out the pro anabolic line, offering the only legal “Deca” precursor on the market. DECAVOL converts at a high rate to its target hormone, Nandrolone (”Deca”) and is better than testosterone for building mass and strength with fewer side effects.

Also, its effectiveness at the androgen receptor of muscle tissue is superior to that of testosterone. Nandrolone (”Deca”) is prized as the perfect anabolic compound. DECAVOL is the only product of its kind to convert to “Deca” in the body.
