I started this one today because I couldn't wait. This isn't sponsored I just wanted to continue working on getting my bench back.

When I did the oral R-andro log, I was benching in the 300+ realm quite regularly. Repair of the torn pec is coming along well. Of course the sponsored Gear cream log helped a lot and I appreciate getting to do it.

Started with 3 pumps of R-andro and 3 pumps of 4-andro also. I'm also using my own epi(100 mg) concoction in a pump spray bottle also. I'll tell more details Monday.
Today's workout:
Chest & tris:

This is definitely a feel good stack. Kinda reminds of the way I feel on test prop.
The workouts will be:
Monday- leg day
Wednesday- back & bis
Friday- chest chest & tris

Delts and abs are in there too. Just kinda here and there.

Diet will be CKD with dextrose/glucose pre and peri workout.

I will be taking 300 mgs of ALA along with my pre-workout. The pwo will contain 45 grams of dextrose, 25 grams of whey, citrulline and various cholinergics.

Yeah 3 pumps of each. When I did the oral R-andro before with a test base it felt similar. The 4-andro with an oral should good tho because it feels pretty much the same as a test base.

Thanks for the info!

So if I have this correct, it works out to 112.5mg of 4andro....I’m guessing the transdermal makes it more effective!? ...Because a lot of what I read suggests oral 4andro at 330mg...

Interesting stuff

Yeah transdermal is way more effective. I ran the oral R-andro at 300 mgs a day. I think the dose on this one is 100 mgs.

I started taking 300 mgs alpha gpc with my pre-workout today. Besides the focus, this also causes a GH pulse by inhibiting somatostatin. The fact I already take dream and grow helps it even more. I also get another pulse post workout by taking 2500 mgs of kratom postworkout on an empty stomach.
Taking some ALA along with my pre-workout which has carbs and protein and creatine in it. Helping with the weight gain and leverage thing.

Are you taking ALA preworkout for shuttling of carbs? Does it help with creatine? Have heard this but didn’t know if just broscience

I originally learned about it doing the crazy carb uptake thing from Lyle McDonald. Already had it on hand when I found the study using it for shuttling carbs for bodybuilding.
The study is somewhere on professional muscle. It does work. Was originally planning on using some form of IGF but since I had this already, I just went with it. Kinda cool getting the creatine uptake pre-workout with it. Injecting acetic acid kinda sucks.

I planned on going back to free weight bench after I reached 5X5 with 185 on the bench on the stack plate.
I was all over the 62-65yr old 181 lb bench record when I tore my pec and am going to try to get it back.
Looks like some cruzing might have to happen. Should get the 185 for 5X5 next bench session.

Had no idea you were in your 60’s. Awesome numbers
That's what I'm sayin.. this guy is impressive. I respect the work ethic and determination. Can't wait to see final results of this cycle.

Yeah I'm 63. I told the age group wrong tho. It's 60-64. All I had to beat was 310. It's 325 now and I'm working on this torn pec.

Did you have surgery?

I’ve been trying to heal a strained pec for months…Didn’t “feel” any injury or anything…

I didn't because it wasn't a tendon. Right after it happen I injected BPC157 around it before training. Mine was torn bad so I had to start with just the bar(could even do that at first) and work up 1 ten at a time. Been thinking about surgery now because of the mutilation.

Tried to flip bench day to Monday yesterday and international bench day got in the way. I did 2 sets of 5 with 170 accidentally anyway so it got turned into a 10 set volume bench day.

I did the hour cardio thing today and walked up and down hills. The intensity varies all the way through. So it was good cardio. I just hope it doesn't mess with leg day tomorrow. Legs get sore in weird places from this.

Is there a reason for deloading in PCT? I've always tried to keep pushing hard in PCT to maintain gains. There are two times I can remember I even continued to make progress. Of course I was still in my 20s so that might be why.

Well, I was thinking about deloading anyway. I had a bunch of injuries in a bad car wreck in 2008 and they work on me as I good along. I usually have to take some off in pct eventually.

This is the last of this log. I have to do a bit of a review of the td R-andro. This is very nice feel good compound. Kinda reminds me of how you feel on test prop or base.
Very good for strength along with a harding effect. Kinda like epi but better.

I'm going to deload a bit whatever I do next. Deadlifts get painful because of the hip fractures that I had in the wreck. I will probably drop deads and focus on lats for my back work.

Highly recommend R-andro and be sure to use a test base or some 4-andro with it.

R andro is def a feel good compound! And I agree if I had to choose between it or epiandro I would ditch epi without a second thought.

What kind of pct are you doing? Not sure if you mentioned already..

Doing a serm and a mild anti aromatase. Probably 7 8 benzoflavone and/or fenugreek.
