Thanks for all the compliment guys. Really appreciate that. I'll post some pics after I finish the PCT. I know the challenge is gonna be to keep those gains after I go off the 1-Andro.
Sorry it's taken so long to reply to all you guys and to give y'all an update. On the weekends I just like to be unplugged, turn off the phone and computer and just relax. And then I get so caught up in the work week and working out that by the time I get home I head straight to bed. Also just joined a slow-pitch softball team haha, so we've had double-headers every night this week so far.
Last Friday, June 21st I did the first week of my 6, 12, 24 arms workout. Still a bit sore actually, but that may be from swinging a bat 100's of times for the first time in a couple years.
Arms day looked like this:
Tri Set #1:
C.G. Bench Press, 6 reps with a 5 count down, 10 seconds rest, DB Decline Tri Ext, 12 reps with a 3 count down, 10 seconds rest, Heavy Band Tricep Pushdowns, 24 reps as quick as possible.
Weights:
C.G. Bench: 225x6, 235x6, 245x6
DB Decline Tri Ext: 30x12, 40x12, 40x12
Band Tri Pushdowns: Blue Bandx24, bluex24, bluex24
Second Tri Set:
BB Curls, 6 reps with a 5 count down, 10 seconds rest, Sup Grip DB Curls, 12 reps with a 3 count down, 10 seconds rest, Band Curls for 24 reps as fast as possible.
Weights:
BB Curls: 85x6, 85x6, 85x6
DB Curls: 25x12, 25x12, 25x12
Band Curls: Purplex24, purx24, purx24
Third Tri Set:
DB Shoulder Press, 6 reps with a 5 count down, 10 seconds rest, DB Flat Bench Supermans, 12 reps 2 count hold and 2 count down, Prone Incline T-Raises, 24 reps as fast as possible.
Weights:
DB Shoulder Press: 50x6, 55x6, 55x6
DB Supermans: 8x12, 8x12, 8x12
T-Raises: 8x24, 8x24, 8x24
Took the weekend off and ended up doing torso for the second week on Monday, and core on Tuesday. Gonna hit legs again tomorrow and I'll update after that.
Thanks again for all the encouragement. It's an honor getting tips and learning from such a solid group of guys.

Today was a legs day...I'm reminded of that by the constant cramps I keep getting in my calves and hammys.
Week 2 of the 6, 12, 24 legs workout. Brutal.
Warmed up by taking about 100-150 swings in the batting cage. I'm trying to return to my high school baseball glory days. After that, I did some band stretches and hit the squat rack.
For the complete details of this workout and all my other 6,12, 24's refer to my earlier posts.
Tri-Set #1:
Heavy Banded Squats (5 count down): 225 plus a blue band for 6, 245x6, 265x6 (10 sec rest)
Trap Bar Deadlifts (3 count down): 225x12, 225x12, 225,12 (10 sec rest)
DB Box Squats (As fast as possible): 30x24, 30x24, 30x24 (150 sec rest)
Tri-Set #2:
BB RDLs (5 count down): 185x6, 195x6, 205x6 (10 sec rest)
Lying Leg Curls (3 count down): 165x12, 170x12, 177.5x12 (10 sec rest)
2 Leg Bosu Ball Hip Ups (As fast as possible): BWx24, BWx24, BWx24 (150 sec rest)
Tri-Set #3:
Heavy Med Ball Abd. Squeezes (5 count hold): 25lb MBx6, 25x6, 25x6 (10 sec rest)
Belt Calf Raises (3 count hold): 135x12 (normal stance), 135x12 (toes out), 135x12 (toes in) (10 sec rest)
Band Adductions (As fast as possible): Green bandx24, Greenx24, Greenx24
Started to cramp up on the drive home. Really think it's just because it's that tough of a workout. In other words, I don't think it has anything to due with the supplements I'm on or my hydration levels. Drank about 2 gallons of water today and I don't usually experience cramping with the other forms of workouts I do, but the 6, 12, 24's will get ya.
Got one more day of the 1-Andro left. Kinda bummed about that, but I'm looking forward to the PCT and seeing if I can maintain all my gains I got from the 1-Andro. Weight is holding steady but my strength levels are through the roof. No libido issues, no other negative sides.
On a side note my knees are killing me, but once again I don't think it's due to the supplements. Think it's more from the years of abuse of playing football and I recently spoke to my chiropractor and he gave me some interesting news. I've had Osgood Schlatter's Disease in my right knee for as long as I can remember. Mostly all kids grow out of it once their growth plates close and they're done growing. Normally it goes away by ages 16-18, I'm 21 and I still have it. So either I'm still growing or I'm a rare case, I really hope it's the first reason. That said, this is what I'm attributing the knee pain to. If anything changes I'll let y'all know.
Have a good weekend fellas.

You're a monster man. And you're only 21. Damn, a lot more growing room. I don't think any of us knew you were that young.

Yah Kris was a prodigy at 18 he was 270 deading and squatting close to 600 for reps and running a 4.9 40 dam fuggin back gave out on him and he had still 4 years of college to go. Couldn't risk it, would be different if he was a Junior or a Senior looking at pro. Fuggin strongest guy I have ever seen in person. Scary strong; like break you in a million peices. He could have boxed I think too, heavy heavy hands and he thought about MMA too but can't get his act together without dad there to kick his azz... Oh well I think he'll make a great Cop some day and that's more important. We need good cops more than we need ball players....

Sorry if I didn't mention that earlier. Yeah, I'm only 21. Look forward to using more Finaflex products in the future, sky's the limit.
Definitely some recomp going on. But that was my goal anyway. Keeping my speed at nearly 280 was the most important thing to me.
Your son sounds like a friggin beast! Definitely agree, this nation needs more good cops than some of these thugs in the NFL *cough cough* Aaron Hernandez. Seems like back injuries ruin a lot of great athletes. I actually broke mine this past season, didn't really realize it and played 3 more games. Finally went to a doctor and got an MRI and some x-rays, turns out I broke 3 transverse processes...they're those 2 prongs that come off of each of your vertebrae. Doctor said he saw it twice, a skydiving accident and a car wreck. Not much they could do about it, so I just kept playing. Crazy how when your adrenaline is pumping you don't really feel much. Every now and then I can feel the broken pieces pressing against my back, but I'm not gonna let it slow me down.
Last week was a busy week and I apologize for not posting in that time span. I took the last weekend in June off, had to help my gf move. Carrying all her clothes down 2 flights of steps was a tougher workout than the 6,12,24 leg workout. Got back to work Mon, and Tues, and did torso and arms. My training split got thrown off a bit cus I didn't have a training partner to do core on Monday. Tuesday night I tweaked my hammy pretty bad playing in a men's slow pitch softball league...I know, really stupid way to get hurt, especially when I hurt it trotting around the bases after a home run. Might have been a blessing in disguise though, I could feel my body starting to break down just a bit. Shoulders were also bothering me a bit. As much as it pained me to do I shut it down and enjoyed some much needed R&R. Went down to the beach on July 3rd and just got back in this morning. Hammy feels great and so does the rest of my body. Chomping at the bit to get back in the gym tomorrow though. Looking forward to making one final push before training camp.
The PCT is going great so far. No side effects whatsoever. Weight is also holding steady, but keeping weight on isn't too tough over a holiday weekend. Went off the deep-end on the 4th, 8 egg omelet for breakfast, 2 footlong roasted chicken breast subs from Subway for lunch, 4 grilled chicken breasts, 2 potatoes, and some mac and cheese at 4th of July party #1, then a couple hours later I was coerced into eating 2 racks of ribs and a couple ears of corn. Not to mention the desserts haha. Was in a food coma for the next day. Got back on the diet this weekend.
I'll post some pics at the end of this cycle once I work off the food baby I created Thursday and I'll be checking back in tomorrow night.

The first day back in the gym after a couple days off is better than Christmas morning.
Did my last week of the 6,12, 24 legs workout and my hammy held up just fine. Came in the gym tonight feeling like a effin beast, well actually I was already in the gym since I work there, but you get the point. On a new preworkout supplement, ForceFactor by Labrada Nutrition. Tastes like s***, but really like the extreme focus and energy it gave me. Haven't felt that awhile from a preworkout supplement. Got a great deal on a SupplementWarehouse.com flash sale, 45 serving tub for 5.95$.
Workout looked like this...
Tri-Set #1:
Band Squats (5 Count down for 6) 225x6, 275x6, 315x5 (would've had 6 but my hip flexors cramped up on rep #6)
Trap Bar Deadlifts (3 count down for 12) 225x12, 245x12, 275x12
DB Front Squats to Bench (24 as fast as possible) 30x24, 35x24, 35x24
Tri Set #2:
BB RDLs (5 count down for 6) 225x6, 225x6, 225x6
Lying Leg Curls (3 count down for 12) 157.5x12, 150x12, 150x12 (had to back off a little, felt my hamstring really getting tight)
2 Leg Bosu Hip Ups (24 as fast as possible) BWx24, Redx24, RedX24 (Bodyweight got too easy, attached a red band to 100lb DBs and put it over my waist for some extra resistance)
Tri Set #3
MB Abduction Squeezes (Hold for 5 sec for 6 reps) 20lb MBx6, 20x6, 20x6
Belted Calf Raises (3 count hold at top for 12) 135x12, 135x12, 135x12
Band Adductions (24 as fast as possible) green bandx24, Greenx24, Greenx24
Really happy with how the workout went today. Was a bit apprehensive about my hamstring but everything felt fine. Pumped I was able to push it as hard as I did on squats. Legs are feeling pretty wobbly still but I'm gonna jump in the hot tub and hopefully that'll loosen em up a bit.
Diet is back in full force and I'm feelin great.
Breakfast: 3 whole eggs, 3 egg whites, 12 oz. turkey sausage, 1 cup of peppers, 2 cups of oatmeal, 1 cup of strawberries, 1 banana, 1 cup of coffee
Snack #1: 2 Chobani 0% fat Greek yogurts, 2 scoops Gold Standard Whey in 16 oz of orange Gatorade (tastes like those orange creamsicle ice creams on a stick)
Lunch: 16 oz Delmonico steak, 2 baked potatoes, 2 cups spinach w/olive oil
Snack #2: 2 Chobani 0% fat Greek yogurts, 2 scoops Gold Standard Whey in 16 oz of orange Gatorade
Dinner: 16 oz. ground 95% lean turkey burger, 2 baked potatoes, 2 cups spinach
Bedtime snack: Super Shake (that's what I call it) 12 oz. Vanilla Almond milk, 1 raspberry Chobani 0% fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 banana, 1 scoop vanilla MusclePharm casein protein.
Took my Pure Test and PCT Rev upon waking and will take dose #2 right before bed. Also took a multivitamin w/breakfast, CLA and Fish oil with lunch and dinner, and ZMA before bed as well. Preworkout, 1 scoop stim force, during workout, 1 scoop SizeOn and 1 scoop Scivation Xtend, Postworkout 1 Extreme XXL by ABB.
Just wanted to clue y'all in on my diet and supplements, haven't done that in awhile.
I'll check back in tomorrow night. Later fellas.

may not be an issue, but we find best dosing for PCT Black to be all at once, empty stomach right before bed

Only issue is that I never have an empty stomach before bed. Would it be ok to take them all upon waking with an empty stomach?
snagencyV2.0

as I said, I may be splitting hairs, but I will stand on the advice to take prior to bed
but consider: by empty stomach (term is relative), I mean simply no food/shakes within 60-90min of going to sleep
if you are taking ZMA prior to sleep, this too needs to be taken empty stomach for best efficacy..
so, should not be an issue to take PCT Black prior to bed as well

I take them prior to bed...60min before my last meal....I finish the day with cottage cheese before I go to sleep.
