AJP Is Going M1D Black: Mass Andro Cycle

[AaronJP1]

So I first want to extend my thanks to Classic34 for this chance to run M1D Black for 4 weeks @ 8 caps a day and for PCT to use Form-X at 6 caps a day for 2 weeks. Very generous of her.

I've been out of the gym for 2-3 weeks because I have been working on some conditioning for some upcoming tests I need to take. I am still working on that conditioning and my lifting schedule will be 3-4 days a week.

With this cycle I'm not going for a full on bulk or a cut. I'm going for a recomp effect. Not a fan of cardio and I don't do much cardio at all, but I need to; That will be incorporated into my training as of now. I will try and keep calories elevated on lifting days and scale them back on non-lifting days, but listening to my body will be my key here. I'm hoping to burn some body fat with the shock cardio will add and be able to maintain & build some size. The mirror will be the judge here.

I'm sure some people will make their way in. I'm not an epic logger & don't log too much too often, I wanted to see what M1D Black was all about.

Haha I like to be detailed on my logs Makes me feel like I am giving back to the companies what they are giving to me , and also , that way I can track down progress and mistakes , and for what I've heard M1DB is pretty good for most of the reviews I've seen , and at 8 caps a day , you'll sure love it haha thats the sweet spot for everyone who likes it!

Favorite Color: Black

Technically, Black is the absence of color... okey: Okay, nerd moment is over. I'm in bro, give it hell.

 

[AaronJP1]

My 1st work out of the week & the first 8 caps down today. Yes it was chest and biceps. I'm currently following an Animal routine I picked up online and I may switch things up from that routine from time to time.
No numbers to write home about, I just always make sure I use a challenging enough weight.

Incline Press 4 x 8-12.
Hammer Press 3 x 8-12
Lying Dumbbell Flys 3 x 8-10
Pec Dec. 3 x 8
Machine Curls 3 x 8-10
Hammer Curls 3 x 10-12
1 set of barbell & dumbbell curls.
5 minutes of running after.

So this was not as intense as I would have liked it to be. Next session I hope to be more intense and get some more beneficial running in after.
Max weight used on incline was 165, flys was 30lbs, & pec was around 180 IIRCC. Curls I didn't keep track of weight wise. So I expected strength to drop a bit, but I'm not hear to make excuses. I will do better next time around.

Man, I need to get out of this slump.

I tried fasted lifting today. I rarely work out in the AM usually go in the PM. Bottom line fasted training ain't for me.

Took a scoop of Muscle Marinade to hit some legs. Got in the gym and wanted to hit multiple exercises but energy was low even after the Marinade. So all I did was Leg Press was 6-8 plates per each side and 6-8 reps, the Leg Ext @ 175lbs.
I also did 135lbs military press for 6 reps.

I have fallen into a huge slump. I'm going to up cals a bit and hope M1D kicks in soon so I can get out of this slump. 2-3 weeks off set me in the hole big time, but I'll fix it.

Edit: Fixed leg press #s.
I started with 12 plates & worked up to 16.

About the fasted training :/ well man it aint for everyone for sure, I personally like it and many here do too , but if it aint for yah Pound a meal before workout and enjoy the power of calories!, Keep it up bro , so far you are doing good for being out of this 2-3 weeks!

[AaronJP1]

Oh & Celorza I don't see how you guys train empty. Cardio I can see that but lifting weights? Wherea is the energy coming from?

BOOM! got my MM in yesterday, havent tried it yet

Detailed logs are just a waste. You have to scroll through pages and pages of BS and non-sense, that it is usually not worth my time. I like to read the full reviews at the end of the logs, anything in between is mostly meaningless to me.

Nice!

It's strong so watch out. You brought it or I sent it to u?

I agree the main reason I'm speaking of work out is to see if my strength climbs up. I like to talk about how the product is affecting my and my work outs though.

:thumbsup:

Don't worry guys, I'll soon be back where I left off. Couple days of heavy eating and some M1D Black and I should regain.

Hehe thats your way to see it bro , I post up full review of the supps I used at the end , thoughts and feelings and a summary on it. But during the log I like to keep every aspect detailed to the dot for MY sake that you guys can read it well thats just a forum for yah xD but that way I can keep more control on my nutrition and progression and some companies like it that i am that detailed , some don't ^^ its all a matter of taste :3!

Sure enough.



When I send out products for logs I just expect quality. How ever the logger wants to log that is up to him, I just want to see him/her put forth effort in the log that's all.

Day 3:

I needed to get some structure to this log. Anyhow couple updates. This morning sucked.
I went to work 1-930 and said when I get home I'll go "re-do" legs. Came home and hit a sample packet of C4 I had and was off to the gym. I walked in and a buddy was there and suggest we hit biceps and shoulders; At first I was like eh, then I said screw it I could use some motivation. Hit a PR on shoulder press @ 75lbs for 3 reps, failed on the 4th! I warmed up with 45lbs. We did 3 sets of presses and then I repped out 40lbs and we did some side delt raises. Biceps we did hammers and drag curls, most weight I used was 50lbs on hammer curls for 3-4 reps then I dropped down to 45lbs. Lightest weight we used was 30lbs. So it was good to hit a PR. Calories today after morning work out was 3 grand roughly. Good stuff, drive & motivation is most def coming back. I hope what ever is motivating me keeps on pushing.

On a side not I posted the score for my written test to be an officer! #winning & #passing but I'm not in the clear yet. Still have a lot of work to do!

Anyhow see ya guys soon, hopefully next week I'll have a more structured work out and won't be all over the place. First week back in a bit so I'll pull it together. Still looking soft a bit too, but I have to fix that too.

 

[AaronJP1]

Day 4:
Off Day.



Day 5:
Good day in the gym. Endurance is up. Mood is elevated, sense of well being seems to be back & motivation is kicked up a notch. Popped another sample pkg of the C4 I had today and went to do back.

Dumbbell Rows

70lbs x 10 reps
80lbs x 8 reps
90lbs x 8 reps

Off to do some deadlifts. I like doing deadlifts and felt good decent on them today. My problem is staying consistent with the deads.

225lbs x 8 reps
275lbs x 8 reps
315lbs x 1 rep (Last I checked my max on deads was near the 400 mark, so strength is moving in the right direction)
135lbs x rep out as a finisher.

Seated Low Row

150lbs, 2 sets x 8 reps
135lbs, 1 set x 10 reps

Lat Pull Down

150lbs x 10 reps
170lbs x 6 reps

Overall pretty productive back is sore and work out has been the best one since I started trying to get out of my slump.

Fullness is starting to come back, vascularity is nice in the gym. Adjusting my diet back to include healthier eating: fruits, more chicken, watching the carbs a bit.

Let's see if I can keep the strength going up along side the endurance.

Cardio: Didn't do any pre or after work out, did take minimal breaks during work out and kept moving.

 

[T-Bone]

Aaron, have you kept the strength gains you made on flat dumbell bench while using Compound 20?

 

[AaronJP1]

Aaron, have you kept the strength gains you made on flat dumbell bench while using Compound 20?

Think I was repped 100lbs a few times.
Haven't hit flat DB bench in a few weeks last time I did it think I was stuck at 85-90lbs.
Come next week maybe I'll test the waters and see where I am at. Biggest thing with me is staying consistent in the gym.

 

[DiabeticLiftr]

Nice lifts, congratz on the officer score mang!

 

[AaronJP1]

Nice lifts, congratz on the officer score mang!

Thx it's something I'm working hard on. I'm more focused on that than working out ATM. I was leary about taking this cuz I can't afford any issues with the testing ya know.
Either way hopefully this black series will help drive strength, good size, mood, endurance and all....

 

[DiabeticLiftr]

It should help you for sure! good luck with that stuff man, im sure its time consuming

It is man. Lots of test, lots of paper work and a lot of thinking man.

Nervous. I'm trying to practice swimming and running, but I realize I can't let working out fall on the back burner either.

Libido seems to be increasing too BTW, texted a few chicks I haven't spoke too in a while.

What are you expecting from it?

You ran it a while back huh? It was hard for you to gain weight? Diet dictates that though. Were you eating a lot?

 

[AaronJP1]

Day 6:

Good day today. Diet has been much better overall & I've been eating slightly above maintenance with no noticeable fat gain so far. Energy in the gym has been good, appetite had picked up some, libidio is up. Strength & endurance is moving in the right direction as well. Got the routine back on track a well. Chest & Biceps today.

Chest:

Flat Dumbbell Bench:

90lbs x 6 reps
100lbs x 3 reps
95lbs x 5 reps
85lbs x 8 reps

Been stuck @ the 100s in the past, but hell a month or so ago 75lbs-80lbs was feeling heavy, good to see the 100lbs feeling heavy again. Be happy to try and reach 5 reps maybe hit the 105-110lbs.

Dumbbell Flys:

Tried to hit the 50s it was a no go.
40lbs x 6 reps
37.5 x 6 reps
35lbs x 8 reps

Wasn't too focused on these that much this time around.

HS Incline Press:

140lbs x 8 reps
160lbs x 6 reps
180lbs x 4 reps
Finished w/ Incline press 135lbs x 5 reps

Biceps:

1 Set of DB Curls 5 reps @ 47.5lbs

EZ Bar Curls:

75lbs x 8 reps
SS w/Hammers @ 50lbs x 3 reps

75lbs x 8 reps
SS w/Hammers @ 45lbs x 5 reps

65lbs x 8 reps
SS w/Hammers @ 40lbs x 6 reps

Finishers:
Machine Curl: 12 reps @ 70lbs, 12 reps @ 45lbs
15lbs DBs while holding opposite arm still holding weight @ 12 reps then 8 reps to get that pump going.


All in all work out is solid. Had a nice combo of strength sets & pump sets. Only regret I had is I hand energy for cardio & neglected it.
