Spartan Andromax + OL DMZ (OG) Stack & Log

[fakeazzrock]

After much debate, I figured out and started a new stack. I enjoyed the bulking lifts and gains (although minimal) from my pre-summer workout and wanted to get back to it. So here it goes:

Weeks 1 & 2 - 5 caps Spartan Andromax & 5 caps Spartan Hercules
Weeks 3-8 - 8 caps Spartan Andromax, 5 caps Spartan Hercules, 2 caps OL Dymethazi9e (20mg 17b-hydroxy-2a-17b-dimethly-5a-androstan-3-one-azine)

I'll be taking 4 caps (two twice daily) Spartan Shield and my usual vitamins & fish oil (will increase 2-4 fish out tabs a day)
I always use creatine and won't be taking it out of my diet & routine.

Starting weight - 196lbs, approx 14% bf
Current PRs - 255lb bench, 395lb deadlift, 335lb squat, 170lb OH Press
3000-3200 cals/day (Maintenance is around 2800)

Quick note, I'm going to be doing a lighter weight to start my squats. I need to focus more on the depth as I know I was cheating it to get to a higher PR before (385lb).

in. like the look of your workouts, can't wait to see how this works out for you

 

[fakeazzrock]

I missed posting for a few days, have a lot going on personally (selling/closing a business) but I promise to keep this updated. And although the workout logs are behind, I'm entering the 4th week today. All I can say is this $h*t seems to be kicking in! Although I'm not pushing crazy new weights, the ability to complete and then do some more is outstanding. Can't wait for another week or two to probably break through some barriers.

At this point of the log, I have completed 2 weeks Andromax + Hercules only. Feeling good, but nothing I probably wouldn't feel in a normal good day.

 

[fakeazzrock]

Week 3 and it's time to add in a capsule twice daily of DMZ. Also, I'm not sleeping that great. Could be stress, but I don't feel like that would cause me to wake up almost the same time every night and have a hard time falling back asleep almost every night.
