Push Power

Hit 195 today on incline. That is 10 pounds more than the last time I tried a 1RM. I then went for 200, but failed. I got it off my chest, but had the spotter grab it. On the 195, I got a lift off, but I did not ask for one on the 200. Although I like lift offs, the help me save some energy, this guy really lifted a substantial amount of weight from the bar. When it transferred to me, it was a complete shock. I don't like lifts for that reason, I like to feel the weight and I can keep myself in position. Even if I did ask for a lift on the 200, it was not going to go up. I did a lot of back down sets to. the final set, I did two rest pause sets.

I was shocked with my military press today as well. Last time I hit a 5x5, I used 110 pounds for all five sets. Today, I was able to use 115 and bar speed was very good. I was contemplating going to 120 for the final set, but decided not to.

Once again, either the weight used or reps increased. However, reps and weight stayed the same on dips, but I am heavier than the last time I did weighted dips.

Excited for tomorrow, going for that 320 squat.

Vascualatiy has increased so much this week. I don't know if it is because it got warmer outside or if it is the 1-AD. My forearms, unpumped, have more veins showing and popping than when they are pumped pre cycle. I was hot at school today, so I rolled up my sleeves. One of my students said, Mr. M, are you okay? Your veins are sticking out. Lmao.

Push Hypertrophy

Weight - 156.4

Weight is up 2.6 pounds from last week. Everything moved smoothly today. I feel a lot stronger and like my endurance is high as well. I decided that I am going to take a stim break. I know I just took a week long one two weeks ago, during my deload, but that was only a week long. I haven't had a substantial amount of time off pre workouts since September. I am going to take about 3-4 weeks off. The only thing I will consume with caffeine is 1 green tea bag per day and that is just for the health benefits.

Last time I did a 6x10 and then a 3x10, I used 95 pounds for the incline smith and 65 for the shoulder press. Not only was I able to go up 5 pound for both, but I was able to hit all 10 reps within my predetermined rest periods. Usually I will increase weight, but either not hit all reps of have to rest longer.

Here is a quick observation and question. I have not increased my calories at all. I was increasing cals prior to this log, usually 175 per week and I was doing that due to loosing weight instead of gaining it. My weight has gone up 6.4 pounds since the start of the log and I have not increased cals. Is this normal to gain weight when using a compound like this at a caloric intake that did not allow me to gain weight prior to using the compound?

Your protein and fat intake is similar to mine, but I can't do carbs like that.. im an endo.. dont tolerate them haha
 
It's good to see your strength and endurance are increasing. I see you are up 2.6 pounds from last week. Does that put you at 152.6? Great job hitting your squat goal. Did you get your deadlift goal?

You should be gaining muscle even with a slight caloric deficit or at maintenance. Your blood is more anabolic at this stage causing you to gain weight. The PH are doing their job.

I just saw Vaughn's post in another thread where he stated a lot of users are gaining about 10 pounds in the four weeks, so the weight gain so far for me seems right in line with that seeing as how I'm not eating at a crazy high surplus.
 
Man once I get this log up you'll see that 1ad kicked ass, I gained least 5-6lbs of solid muscle strength thru the roof I could see the difference in two almost three weeks

Killed it today. I had 5x5 bench at 70-80% of my 1 rep max. I was able to go heavier than that though. The last time I did a 5x5 on incline bench, my top set was 150 lbs for 7 reps, today was 165 for 6 reps. That is a huge increase in 5 weeks.

On military presses, I hit 115 for 5,5,4 reps last time I went for a 3x5, this time I hit 125 for 5 on the first set then 120 for 5 on the second and third set.

You'll notice I did go lighter on dips from last week to this week, but I was focusing on the stretch and really going below parallel. With the 70 pounds strapped to me, I was just hitting parallel and wanted to work on that stretch.

There is a potential for 2-7 inches of snow Sunday into Monday. I hope it hits so they close the schools for the day, it would be nice to have a 3 day weekend. Plus we wouldn't have to make up the day!

Decided to go lighter on some things today. I wanted to really focus on just pulling with my back muscles and not my arms.

I'm thinking about substituting the one arm landmine shoulder presses I do on Sundays for anti gravity presses. Does anyone have experience with anti gravity presses, do you like the movement?

Off day today. Nothing exciting. I will post macros for my low carb day on Saturday. Macro breakdown then is the same as today. No GI issues today. I doubt it had anything to do with 1 AD.



Luckily it was my hypertrophy leg day, so it was easier than a heavy day and very quick.



I have been doing them on my hypertrophy days and love them. They are great for those who cannot do squats do to lower back problems. In addition, it is great to just work on overall form and for the quads if one does not lock out at the top. Here is a video for you.

Lower Power

Killed it today, absolutely killed it. My top set was supposed to be 256, I ended up hitting 265 for my rep range. Last time I did a 5x5, my top set was 255. Not only did I hit 255 again, but also hit 265X5. I also started with a heavier weight than last time.

Box squat was supposed to be 3x5, but on the first two sets, I was too close to the box and was too upright. I wanted to mimic my squat which is why I did 5 sets. Also, I used the same box, but put one 25 pound plate on it since I think that better represents my weak point.

I'm almost at the finish line with 1 AD. One thing I have noticed is my mid section, It has gotten slightly bigger. When I say slightly, it is just that. My lifting belt I was on the last loop (custom made loop I had to drill in due to weight loss) but the last loop pre cycle was a little loose. I am still on the last loop, but now it fits like it should. I am not surprised at this small increase because I am up about 7 pounds. However, my core is so much stronger. I could tell on my squats and deadlifts from earlier in the week that my core is stronger during my compound lifts. I think this small increase in waist size is more due to core strength than fat. Although some fat gain is always going to occur. Also, I do abs twice per week, once with a higher rep range and another day in a lower rep range. I can still feel the veins in my lower stomach, so I know this gain is moreor less due to my abs becoming blockier.

Still gaining and going strong. It's exciting when you get more weight then you anticipated. I'm experiencing this myself. Great work
 
Things are looking good in here. Nice volume with your training and all da gainz. Nice job
 
i love seeing people gaining 8-10lbs in a month when they're cutting carbs/cals. In another thread(superdrol thread) I am being told I am a liar because this compound can't make people gain weight like that even when they're on a full out bulk :D

I absolutely killed my deadlifts today, killed it. Max set was supposed to be at 349 pounds, but I hit 360 for my reps. Last time I did a 6x4, my top set was 345 pounds. Right off the floor I felt really strong.

You'll notice two things compared to last week's heavy pull day; I took out racks pulls, I substituted bent over rows and I also increased the rep range to 6-8 for the accessory work instead of going in the 4-6 rep range. I decreased working weight due to that.

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals 1-AD Final Review

Again, I want to say thank you to VaughnTrue and the rest of the Hi Tech Team.

Starting Weight - 150 lbs
Ending Weight - 159.2 lbs

Side Effects - None. I was taking AI Life Support 2.0 and did not experience anything negative in terms of blood pressure or anything else associated with a hormonal product. I was checking my blood pressure also.

Weight - The calories I was consuming throughout the log was the same amount I was consuming prior to the log. Before using 1 AD, I was losing a little weight on that caloric intake. I was able to gain 9.2 pounds in the four weeks with that same caloric intake.

Body Composition - This is where the product really shined. Despite the 9.2 pound weight gain, body composition improved slightly. Overall vascualrity increased, both when pumped and not pumped. My muscles had a fuller look all of the time. My waist did get a touch bigger, but not by much. However, I would not say it was much fat. I could tell because I could still feel veins in my lower abs like I could pre cycle. If you read through the log, you would see that I noted I trained abs twice per week. One heavy session, rep range 6-8 and a lighter day, rep range 10-15. My core became a lot stronger. I did not need my belt on several occasions when I would need it pre cycle. I believe the majority of the increase in my abs was due to my core becoming stronger and core just becoming thicker.

Strength - This also shot up in just four weeks. I added anywhere from 10-20 pounds on my major lifts, in the same rep range on those lifts pre cycle. I also set a new PR on squats, deadlifts and incline bench.

Overall - I would suggest this product for someone looking to go the hormonal route, but looking for something on the mild side. One will note an increase in weight, body comp and strength with little to no ill side effects.

Pros
  • Increase in strength
  • Increase in size
  • Better body composition
  • Increase in vasculairty
  • Better recovery
  • Mild


Cons
  • Price (2 bottles need to be purchased to really maximize the results)
  • Dosing (4 pills spread throughout the day, can be easy to forget a dose here and there)
  • Not a big increase in libido
 
Great review, man. I love seeing all of the strength gains people are making while cutting. Amazing results.

Solid review bro! Most hormones shut you down, they don't boost libido ;) Only a few do that!
 
Enjoyed reading your log..props
 
hello. I know the thread is old, but got a question. I might have missed it but how long hi-tech 1-ad was taken. I see you took 4 caps per day so two bottles per month would be needed? How many weeks was the cycle? How long after pct did you do your next one and did you use any other PH as I think 1 ad is 1andro and many people are saying you need 4 andro with 1 andro thanks.
