Volcom's Androlean & Androhard Log

[VolcomX311]

I’m very excited to log these products, I’ve been excited about the Androseries since I first heard about them weeks before Christmas. This will also be my very first run of a real PH/PS type of supp.

First off, I have taken pictures of myself today, but I won't post them right, right now. The reason is I’m in the middle of a supplement company cutting contest, but that contest will end before the end of my Androseries run, therefore, I don't want to show my cards yet. It's a transformation contest and I don't want to deflate the shock & awe aspect of my transformation by posting mid-way pics.

What I'll do is I will post pictures in this log mid-way through this log, both at the opening page of the log and in the most current post. I'll post all of today’s front, rear, side pics I took today and dated 03/11/11 and then I'll post my final pictures at the end of this log or some mid-way pics from when the supp company cut contest ends in April. I don't mind posting progression pics in this log after my contest ends, I just don’t want to reveal anything prior to the end of the contest. I’m hoping my final pictures after this cycle will be noticeably improved.

A little about me.
I dable in both bodybuilding and Olympic lifting, so I’ll be curious as to how my strength and my power holds up as I get into the trenches of my cut while on Androlean and Androhard. I’ve lost almost no muscle or at least no strength from my cut from 220 to 205, but that’s because there was a hearty amount of adipose to lose. I think I’m nearing the point of my cut where muscle mass may be in jeopardy once I get sub 200lbs. We’ll see.

A little more about me....

100lbs Db's x 22 reps



450lbs Hammer Incline Press x 5 reps



185lbs Olympic Snatch (poor quality vid)


Cycle Plan for 6 weeks, 8 if I'm inclined.
Androlean 6 caps daily
Androhard 6 caps daily
Lean Xtreme 3 caps daily (I have to have my cort control)


PCT for 4 weeks
Nolva 20/20/10/10 (perhaps not “necessary” but I’m playing it safe)
DAA 15 days on.
Formadrol Xtreme 4 caps daily
Phyto-Test 4 caps daily
PRIME 4 caps daily

Then I’ll be off to Taiwan for 2 weeks to visit the family, where I’ll be bringing 2 bottles of SlinSane because our big family eats together between going eating and the carbs are a plenty.

There’s an Addidas Olympic Gym around the corner from where we’d be staying, but lifting with a 16hour time difference didn’t work out last summer and I don’t expect it will this summer either.

Reserved for pics

I didn't take the time to refeed after going the last 10 days without carbs, so I turned out a bit flat. I apologize I didn't maximize my final shots, but I will post some pics I took the last time I had a refeed about two weeks ago at the very end.

















REFEED PICS FROM TWO WEEKS BACK

Cardio: Stairclimber 30 mins.

There are a few things worse then performing cardio on a Friday night for me. Anytime during the week isn't bad, because its the thick of the work week and its time to grind, but Friday nights, lifting is easy and preferred, cause there's no one there, but cardio sucks.

Day 1 of Androseries, nothing of note yet, short of the added excitement of being on something, but I wouldn't expect anything palpable following the first dose of anything.

Thanks to everyone for popping in.

hey, any of your people effected by the earthquake/tsunami?

[HereToStudy]

Hell ****ing yes! I been waiting for this log since you announced it!!!

[VolcomX311]

No. My mom called me and told me she was up all night watching the news and calling our family in Taiwan to stay away from high buildings (and you know Asia only has room to build upward, so everything is a high building; Taipei 101, the world's second tallest structure is in Taiwan), because the Asian news was predicting that the earthquake/tsunami was going to hit Taiwan, but it didn't, thank God. Thanks for axing though.

Sweet I'm in, nice P snatch, be patient with the technique and finish your pull at the top and sit lower and you could easily snatch 100 kilos.

[JudgementDay]

O HELL YEAH!!!!!! Subbed!

I'm very interested in the Androseries, very awesome you are logging this, Good Luck!

i am very glad to hear that. i have many friends in the philipines, and fortunately they weren't effected either. i bet you were sweating bullets about your mom-i know i would be!!!

hopefully the worst is over, kinda troubling about those nuke reactors in japan though.

[VolcomX311]

Hell ****ing yes! I been waiting for this log since you announced it!!!

I hope I can justify your enthusiasm. I have high hopes and I'm still plenty motivated about my cut.

I know. I end way too high, but that's primarily due to the fact I workout 99% of the time at L.A. Fitness, ergo, no Olympic weights, therefore, I can't really risk anything that I might drop. Sitting hams to calves on the Snatch takes time and repetition to build the kind of core strength I'd need to do that, but in those repetitions has to be an allowance of plenty of drops and fails to stand, which is a luxury I don't have.

I work at a private S&C facility, but I only access their facility on Sundays when we're closed to attempt PR's on my O-Lifts. I spend 99% of the time at L.A. Fitness because bodybuilding is my priority. If I were training solely for sports, then I'd more then likely spend most of my time at the S&C facility. I just don't like working out where I work as a general feeling, but I hear you. I can sit under 155 hams to calves, but whenever you drop hams to calves on the snatch, there's not a 100% chance the stand will be successful and again, L.A. Fitness, no dropping weights from an overhead position, even sitting at hams to calves.
