First off I would like to thank Nathan Neely and AI Sports Nutrition for the package that I received today. In the package, I received a bottle of TESTpro (120caps/30 day supply), AI t-shirt, samples of 3z, HGHpro, Manic (2), Perform, RecoverPro(2)

First off let me apologize in advance for this post being so longwinded. Just a little history on me, I am a veteran of the US Navy (5 years), married and I have a 5 year old son. I have been working out off and on for the past 3 years but ever since getting a desk job back in March, gravity has started to pull down on certain areas. This is my main goal, to get back in the shape I was in while I was in the Navy. A couple health issues to tell, I have had reconstructive surgery on each of my shoulders: Open bankhart repair on my right shoulder to repair a SLAP tear in 2005. Capsular shift on my left shoulder in 2009. These injuries have limited me to start off at pretty light weight on various chest exercises, mainly flat bench and incline bench. I cannot do decline bench at all due to pain. Most of the time I will do bench and incline on the smith machine to keep good form and to help if I lose control of the weight. So far, so good. My measurements are as follows:
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 215
Waist: 42.5"
Arms: 16"
Forearms: 12.5"
Neck: 16"
Chest: 45.5"
Shoulders: 52"
Legs: 22.5"
Calves: 15" ** forgot to mention I have underdeveloped calf muscles due to a birth defect
Here is my before pic.

Mr Saturn, I like it.
I like to make up off the wall names for exercises once in a while.
 
In the Navy, we would make up names for different exercises. We would call shrugs "Goldbergs" in reference to pro football player/pro wrestler, Bill Goldberg.
 
Shoulders are not really sore today, a little tight, especially in my delts. Will not be able to make it to the gym this afternoon, have to mow the jungle I call a yard.
 
Plus I know it's probably psychological only being on TESTpro 2 days but I'm feeling more energetic and I'm a little mad that I have to mow instead of hitting the gym!
 
Day 2:
While I was planning to mow the yard, mother nature had other plans. A storm came up just as I was getting home from work. So yesterday I spent some quality time with the family. The weather is all clear, so mowing today

Gotta love family time my friend
 
Day 3: The gym Gods once again are angry at me for some reason. I had to work 12 hrs yesterday instead of my normal 8. But to my surprise when I got home, my wife had mowed the yard. So today(Day 4) I'm taking an extended lunch break and hitting the gym hard-back and bi's. I will also be running a 2nd log of PNI's Prodigy, thanks to Rick (howwedo107). Can't wait to blow s*it up.
 
One thing to add, I have started sleeping a bit better and waking up with some stiffness you know where while on TestoPRO. Also, the past day or so, Ifeel like am walking around with a bit more "Swagger".
 
Day 4: Only had time to do biceps today but Holy Biceps Batman, did I work them!!!
Barbell Curls: 40x10, 50x10, 60x10, 70x6 (fail)

Nautilus Curls: 50x10 (5 reps together/5 reps isolated while holding the other), 60x16 (as before 8 & 8), 70x18 (as before 9 & 9)

Any day you set a PR is a good day!
 
Day 10: Well since I have worked out all my muscles this week, I decided that I would concentrate on abs this morning.
Hanging Knee Lifts (using Perfect Pullup Ab straps): 3x20
Nautilus Abdominal Machine: 90#-3x20
Crunches (on bench): 3x20
Flutter Kicks: 3x20 (4 rep count)

Not too bad of a ab workout. I am doing moderate cardio on treadmill in the evenings ~ 20 mins at constant speed, 3.8-4.2 also wear a "sweat belt"
 
Also considering running the "Swole Stack" or possibly TestoPRO, Stoked and HGHpro if it comes in a stack.
 
Yesterday I decided that since I had worked out all my muscle groups on Mon, Tues and Wed and did abs yesterday, today I would do a 2x2 full body workout. 2x2=2 exercises x 2 sets per muscle group at a weight I would be comfortable getting 10-15 reps. So here is my Day 11 full body workout.
Chest
Bench: 115x10, 125x10
Incline Bench: 85x10, 95x8
Bi's
BB Curls: 50x12, 60x12
Seated DB Alt Curls: 20x10, 25x10
Legs
Leg Extensions: 110x15, 125x15
Hack Squat: 45 each side x10, 45/10 each side x10
Shoulders
Cable Lateral Raises: 15x10, 17.5x10
Seated DB Press: 20x12, 25x12
Tri's
1 arm cable Pulldown: 20x10, 25x10
Cable Rope French Press: 30x12, 40x12

As I was getting dressed, I realized that I didn't do any back exercises. I was so caught up in the workout that it totally slipped my mind. But I'm sure I will work my back this weekend as I will be camping. This is another reason why I decided to do a full body workout because there is no gym at the campground.
 
Something else to add, my libido is definately higher then normal. No more detail than that ;)
 
Next week will be my 3rd week on TestoPRO, i plan on doing the same workouts that I did this week. On my 4th and final week, I plan on doing a FST-7 workout! How does that sound?
