TESTOPRO LOG (BULKING UP WHILE KEEPING MY ABS!)

So I just got my first of the three bottles of Testopro to log. Timing couldnt have been better seeing as 2 days ago I ended a very non-suppressive androlean v2 run. So as of now:

starting weight: 189 pounds
bf%: estimate 10-11% (very visible top two abs and bottom two are less defined, clear striations in shoulder area, etc)

my goal is to retain the same body fat levels while gaining as much muscle and strength as possible

as of now I am on AI DAA, AI Stoked, and now adding AI Testopro. So for the first month its basically a review of all these AI products :), and then 2 months just testopro

Just recently started doing the Layne Norton PHAT workout so I am easing into it, so I will log my first workout the chest and arms hypertrophy day :

Barbell Speed sets
6 sets of 155x5 as explosive as possible

incline barbell bench
155x12
155x12
175x8

wide chest hammer strength machine
180x15
230x12
230x12

incline cable flyes
20 eachx18,16

Barbell curls
65x12
85x10
95x8

incline db curls
20sx14
25sx12

preacher curl machine
60x17
70x15

tricep dip machine
210x12
240x12
270x8

v bar pushdowns
100x15
120x15
150x12

kickbacks
30x13
25x15

Overall feeling totally fine. I felt almost no sides from androlean and If anything I am already starting to feel more aggression in the gym from the Stoked and DAA from the past few days. I can see my strength going very high with this supplement plan as I start to slowly up my calories into bulk mode

Should be a nice PCT with TestoPro, DAA, & Stoked. Be prepared for some nice gains. I got a little headstart in my 3-month log since I already had the product in hand.

I am on day 25 and some good strength and size gains. I will weigh in this Sun, but clothes are fitting tighter for sure.

sounds great, man. I cant wait to start growing. Cutting weight is so exhausting haha. Tighter fitting clothes is what it's all about :)

Thanks dude I appreciate it. Good luck on you're run too. I'll keep an eye out for it

Yea DAA is great except it taste like crap! I will never mix that stuff with water again haha. i've been mixing it into my preworkout and into milk before bed and that totally clears up that problem tho so no worries :D

hell no! I went from 203 to 188 in a matter of weeks while getting stronger. I have no complaints at all. Androlean V3 is supposedly 4x stronger says the company owner so I'm def planing on running that in the distant future.

I'll have a real body fat test done right after christmas that i'll post up

I mix mine with recoverpro , I just put water in my mouth, hold it there, put head back, and dump half a scoop of bcaa's and daa and voila, I actually take all my bcaa's like that because I could be wrong, I tend to think all the drinking the powders could possibly cause cavities and I am obsessed with my teeth health. Always swish water, esp salt water after meals to make sure all sugar is gone from gums

nice workouts btw thats good weight your moving. how is the muscle.mind connection? I go with the squeeze at least half of the time over how much weight I can move. Taken me ten years to learn this lol

You are not even a week in to TestoPro so wait to see some REAL changes soon. After about 10 days I noticed some better strength and increased intensity. I'm ready to hit it hard today after resting/eating the past 2 days.

On the hypertrophy days of this workout I go for much more slowed, controlled, and more feeling oriented reps. Not to say on the power days I am doing bad reps, but my main focus is to life the heaviest weights I can. Some things I could prob focus more on perfecting form on BB rows for instance

Thats kinda what I do, alternate heavy & light/moderate workouts. And just like you I am gonna work on my form on BB rows today, get a great contraction!

It is weird . . . not so much a "feeling" for me, not the alpha male attitude but some solid confidence but also relaxed. I am definitely noticed strength and size effects after 10-12 days, now I am on 28 days and love just going for it in the gym.

Yea man, there is no better feeling than just being in the zone and giving a workout you're 100% intensity. Without certain supplements like pre-workouts I'd prob still be 175 lbs falling asleep in the gym

feeling really good. It seems really easy to focus and get in the zone while lifting right now. My weight is a steady 189-190 pounds in the morning so my weight has been maintaining and strength is slowly but surely increasing, so things are going good :bigok:

Wow, I feel like a pu$$y when I look at your leg workouts. I do 4-5 sets of squats then stiff-legged DLs but that is it. I am gaining strength too, but wt gain is about +2lbs over the past month. We'll see if it kicks up a bit more in month 2, would like to gain more wt but that's ok if I am recomping.

bro I think Squatting and Stiff deads are sufficient for mass. I don't really know how much trust I put into isolation movements, myself. I tend to think they are somewhat of a waste of time anyway. Perhaps on a cut or recomp they have their purpose, but if you are trying to gain, 5 sets of squats with all your intensity will produce growth!

when i started working out i was 130 lbs. i basically got up to 180 in my teen years just squatting, benching, shoulder pressing, deadlifts, rows, and some arm work thrown in. And thats still what I put my trust in

I kind of had an off day in the gym last night. I usually do a lot more volume than I did, but I just didn't have the drive. At least I was able to force myself to go heavy. Anyway, what I'm saying is that it happens to all of us every now and then :D

For yourself do you get better results going heavy? Or volume?

Kind of somewhere in between, but it really depends on my goals and how I'm feeling.

I've seen the most growth when I do three to four working sets per lift doing something like:

Warm up weight/set (don't necessarily do a warmup for every exercise)
Set 1 - 10-12 reps
Set 2 - 8-10 reps
Set 3 - 4-6 reps
If I can do more reps than what I have laid out, I do. I'll add a little more weight than I would have if I couldn't hit that rep range, though. If I'm on my last exercise for that bodypart, I'll often throw in a burn out or drop set to finish up.

<Keep in mind that I'm not a mass monster like some of these guys on here, though, lol>

Neither am I.
They say that people can pretty much do 3 exercises per body part at about 10 reps and see changes.

What I'm trying now is upper body and lower body twice a week. I usually try to hit all muscles using decent weight for 10-12 reps and do 2 exercises that day.
Starting to incorporate a 45 minute walk 3 times a week for cardio.

it looks like we have similar workout styles. Atleast thats the basic template, but I switch rep ranges around from time to time. Also, I sometimes just try to have heavier strength days and high rep hypertrophy days here and there

Back day - kinda bad again. Just didnt feel that strength and power I normally do. Thinking it might be slight shutdown, or just a bad streak, or both.

barbell rows
135x12
155x10
185x8
135x14

pulups
10
+25x6

pulldowns wide
170x9

190x6
140x12

hammer strength pullup machine underhand grip
90x15
160x12
210x10
160x10

rack deadlifts (just above knee level while in stance)
225x10
315x8
405x6

dumbell shrugs
70x15
85x12
100x10

As the workout went on I started getting more and more in the zone, but overall unhappy with the workout. I feel fine and my mood is good otherwise, so it might just be my body going through a stage. A bad workout is better than no workout

I think anything works as long as the intensity factor is as high as possible. I know the habit I fall into is trying to use heavier and heavier weights and then going lower and lower reps because I like to see changes and strength changes seem to be the most visible

This what I do, I do a heavy week with low reps and the next workout will be mod wt/hi-rep. It has been well for me so far and I will also toss in DB sets for the focused contraction.

I do the same thing, heavier strength days more intensity, less volume, and higher volume days where more focused on form, and more volume, seems to help prevent injuries

keep up the good work in here

How long is your typical workout? I usually get it done in 45-60 mins. , after that your cortisol spikes.

I gotta get in the gym today but I was the driver last night so had a few early on then it was TONS of WATER, fun time any how.

Glad your enjoying the stack, I am too just cant imagine adding DAA . . . too much fun!

yeah i used to have shorter workouts like 45-50 minutes, but I've recently in the past few months adding more volume. I usually hit two musce groups a day so I usually get out of the gym at 75-90 minutes. Your cortisol may spike, but when dding in supps, esp estrogen modulator like testopro, and using bcaas intra to prevent caabolism I think their is little to worry about. I usually aim for 60-75 minute workouts

good workout. Feelin really good and high energy today. Im using presurge unleashed right now and it is my all time favorite pre workout. Really zones you in. Hit PRs on squats - doesnt get better than that
Nice leg workout man!

I started noticing some joint pain in the hands today after my workout, which is weird. Most likley it is from the testpro I guess? Not that bad right now though, so I will comment if it gets better or worse

pretty heavy flies, I go a little lighter and hold down on the bottom for a KILLER stretch of the pecs. It really makes it a hard set even though I go for 8 reps.
