Yah and all of it is good reading, product works just like I fortold. I admit I was optimistic when I read the profile. I just thought if this converts really well then this should happen, and it did :)
 
Ate tons of crap yesterday so I was definitly feeling it today. And my workout suffered to some extent. Shoulders bis and tris nothing big to report took it easy today trying to let my shoulder recover a bit so I can hit it hard the last 3 weeks.




Notes
* I can not ever eat enough food
* weights feel light theres no "mental block" when lifting or going to failure
* pump was crazy today
 
That's one thing when you're experiencing all these strength gains you may be prone to injury. I wonder if this would go well with 550 for joint support.
 
Just hit 410x20 hack squats #WTF!!
 
diet was on point yesterday lil under calories but not too bad 3500ish total 300/300/100

haack squats
90x20
180x20
270x20
360x20
410x20 PR
360x15
270x20
180x20
180x10 (4-2-2-0 tempo) 3 sets

swiss ball lug curls 4 sets of 15
leg extensions 4 sets of 20

Notes
*360x20 hack squat was a PR from last workout and was relatively easy this time
* Its impossible for me to eat enough to be satisfied
 
If 1-Alpha is that good, who needs methylated compounds?

I let this 1-Alpha cycle decide about my future with oral steroids and prohormones.. If I like it, I may stay with this new wave of "healthier" compounds.

DW, Matty and other knowledgeable guys, feel free to check that thread I started in Anabolics section (Steroids and cholesterol) :)

Yah that's a good point this is the srongest non-methyl I have heard of so far. It actually seems to be *****ing the stronger compounds as well.

Of course there is strong progestin based prohormones (pro-dien and dien) but they come with totally different side-effects and at least pro-dien elevates liver values and skews lipids too.

DW, what do you know about 1-Alpha's effect on cholesterol?

The conversion seems to have a lot of the sides at a minimum but I am not sure what effect this would have concerning choleterol. My guess is that it would not be as bad as what it converts too but I am not a scientist type.

Holy sh**,straight wrecked those legs!

since it is non-17a methylated there is much less concern for altered cholesterol problems, and it is liver safe.
depending on your diet, blood pressure may be slightly elevated, but is typically not an issue.
majority of users consider side effects mild and very easily tolerated during cycle.

It's a big strength gain on this I used the original compound years ago and I never saw such increases the weights were just lighter it was surreal..

That's it,I say it all the time,you know your body best,I've had a cycle before where I had to just up the reps with a bit lower weight as my joints were terrible,but that's hard to do sometimes when it gets in your head you just wanna go!discipline is key tho!

I always,try to work my reps with as much weight and volume as possible,haven't maxed in a while,don't have a spot for 1,but I always keep in mind I'm working with reps when I go I'm not maxing every time so that number in theory means nothing to me.I hate when I get asked what I bench when I'm out just bc I look like I might work out,lol I always say a lot!i also like to hit a 1rm on all major lifts near end of each cycle tho.

I dont care much about flat bench 1rm but id like to see squat and deadlift. No spotter for me either well my wife but if I really get in a jam on bench shes not gonna be able to help much she is jacked tho LOL. I didnt do really any flat barbell benching for my whole contest prep so Im just getting back into it this last month.

I've made the conscious decision to walk away from flat bench for forever. Or until I decide I want to give powerlifting a 100% go

Im getting more into HS stuff lately now that its available to me didnt have any at my old gym
 
Just keep the reps reasonably high. Next time you can mix in some 550.. that should help the joints keep up..

Good point I didnt even think of that. Hmmm contest prep stack???? So many possibilities. 1-Alpha on a different diet would shred me up nicely i bet
