The Tried and True, sR runs the legendary TestoPRO (AI SPONSORED)

[steppinRazor]

first things first - BIG UPS to John Smeton and AI Sports for HOOKING it up!! these guys will always have my business and respect, top shelf products and god damn if they dont know how to spread the love!

i received this nice little care package last thursday


so now to get things started -

i took my first dose ffriday the 8th, so im currently on day four of my long awaited run with TestoPRO.

other sups i'll be using:
whey protein
formula-x (BCAA and DAA)
fish oil
and thats gonna be about it..

a little about myself - been lifting near 2 years, diet will be a little off for the next month or two mostly due to budget...i just came off erase so my joints are a bit stiff - with in the week im hoping to be a little less sore so i can get back in the swing of things and keep boosting my test to the limits.

i generally do a 3 day split
1 - chest, bi's, tri's
2 - back and shoulders
3- legs and core
repeat.

goal here is to increase strength on lifts
and get that 6 pack to finally come in for the summer!!

i'll most likely be posting some pics in the near future..

game on!

[John Smeton]

nice information and thank you for the props.

have you tried the three way split where you do?

day 1 chest shoulders triceps
day 2 back and biceps
day 3 off
day 4 calves, hams and quads
day 5 chest shoulders triceps
day 6 off
day 7 off or you can train this day if recover it really good

I did this split with dc training for aquite some time. That said you dont need to do Dc training to do it

Looking forward to following this... remember to try as hard as possible to focus on the diet to help with the 6 pack... abs are made in the kitchen! But the Testo Pro will help for sure

you know what man?
im reallly glad you mentioned this - because my routine has been beginning to get a bit stale. i think its time for a new routine. i'll be following this as my guidline..
as i post workouts, any other suggestions are welcome!

..and DC training has caught my eye in the past as well.. that maybe something i consider down the road.

hey brotha! good to have you..
i know i know, kinda funny i mention my diet is a little off and i wanna work on my abs. kinda sucks being a broke college student..lol
i'm gonna make the best with what i got and aim high. ive heard some great things about TestoPRO - so im confident it will aid me in my goals

Lift looks good

[steppinRazor]

Lift looks good

thanks man...hopefully getting better here shortly.

that being said - i hate reporting a crappy workout on a log.
went to work chest, shouders and tri's today..my heart was there but unfortunately my right shoulder was not.
like i said my joints have been on the dry side and my shoulder has been pretty aggravated so i had to take it pretty easy

flat bench
warmed up 135x10
205x8
185x10 x2 (dropped weight due to shouder pain)
185x8

pec fly (cable)
35x10x4

kickbacks (cable)
30x10
35x10 x2

incline db press
60x10 x3

arnold press
45x10
had to quit due to pain

barbell shrug
225 x10
275 x10 x2

tricep extension w/ rope
120 x10 x3

honestly i cant believe i had to call it quits so soon. definitely been an off week for me. lets hope things get better soon.

so as of yet - i cant report on strength since i cant even really push what i normally would. it may be too soon. anyways

been having a great sense of well being past couple days.. libido is also on the rise. very satisified thus far

[John Smeton]

looking at your workouts

do you find planks at 1 minute for 3 sets work well?

I am thinking of bringing them into my ab routine.

I feel you on shoulder pain on flat bench-I quite doing it 6 years ago and its not needed to build a great chest. dumbbells, barbell incline sometimes, dips-true gironda dips , flies , amachines-just my opinion

[steppinRazor]

i dont think i could ever quit flat bench - as i really enjoy that lift. this pain comes and goes and i think its mostly due to running erase without cissus, which has been a staple of mine - but ive been too broke to afford it lately. dumbbells are definitely less taxing - i'll probably incorporate those more depending on how im feeling shoulder wise.

planks?? well my buddy swears by them and hes pretty shredded ab wise. i feel like they bring something to the table too..i'll post pics this weekend..my abs arent exactly there..so take from that what you will.

mine need work, even at the level of bodyfat I get down to competition time , if they were built better they would stand out more. It seems to be a genetic thing. I still work them once a week year round and more come pre contest

right on man.. body fat is my main obstacle to over come in regards to my abs.. tho they are coming in slowly but surely now that i work them on a regular basis..

well **** you guys, it was a crazy ass weekend for me - picked up some shifts at work to the point i was there all weekend, and also learned of a friends suicide saturday morning.

needless to say ive been off schedule.

nice arms.

how log have you been on testopro now and what do you notice>?

[steppinRazor]

hey, thanks john.
i was just coming here to update today... so since you asked

im currently wrapping up week 2 on TestoPRO. im fukkin lovin in man. seriously what ive really noticed the most is the HUGE surge in libido.
my girlfriend cant keep me off her..hahah not that she's complaining.

i have a great sense of clarity throughout my days - which is surprising with how stressful and busy ****s been for me lately. i note this because i wasnt at all expecting this from testopro.

in the gym - well let me start off by saying, i was going for strength initially but my god damn shoulder is just having major issues. ive kept the weights at a comfortable level, so im not exactly pushing boundaries - although i feel i could.
its definitely giving me more focus and drive to kill my workouts.


must say im very impressed thus far.. will be updating again shortly.
my apologies for missing a few days.

[stxnas]

What's the scale looking like so far and how's the leaning up coming along?

[steppinRazor]

well the scale - im at 172 right now which is kinda scary. havent been this light in quite some time.
honestly i didnt weigh in at the start of things - i just assumed i was steady at my previous weight, although leaning out is coming along pretty nice. abs appear to be showing a bit more!!

[steppinRazor]

its not about weight its about how much muscle you have. Im at my lighest ive been in over five years and I have more muscle-hopefully you have more muscle then ever

keep up the good -Im about to start a three month run of testopro

[hvactech]

i see the formula x is being put to good use
