Capt turns Super Saiyan w/ LG Sciences 1-Androstenolone Platinum

Coming from someone who has had a few knee surgerys, you might try doing leg press before squats. And if u do squats, do em on a squat machine instead of free or smith. I find stabalizing with free weights aggravates my knee and the limitied motion range of smith machine doesn't help so I've been using Freemotion squats and they don't bother me as much.
 
I've thought several times about trying knee wraps. I'm just scared that I would come to depend on them like some do with lifting gloves with wrist wraps.

I still have a lot of detail to figure out on my leg days. I actually didn't even mean to do squats in that workout, they just kind of happened. LOL.

I bought some knee wraps and have used them off and on. I feel the same way, I don't want to be dependent on the wraps.

wraps do come in handy along with wrist straps. most of the time i lose grip strength on heavy movements and wrist's allow a few extra reps

Thanks brother. My goal is to get 22 plates by the end of the year. Just need to find a way to build my knees up to support that weight.
 
Bro I couldn't even imagine!! I get people asking me if I squat 800 or dead lift over 1,000 bc of my calves. if they only knew how little I train them shhhh. But I'm about to start giving them hell.
 
I've got serious tweener calves. Almost big almost small. Very annoying!

Back in the gym tonight for some leg domination. Intensity and focus were on point, as usual. Been able to add weight to lifts each workout, and that is a great feeling. Appetite is still pretty low, but has begun to stabilize.

Tonight's workout:
20 minute run on treadmill
Leg Curls - 150x12, 180x12, 200x12, 210x10
Leg Extensions - 150x12, 180x12, 200x10, 210x8
Squats - 135x15, 205x15, 255x12
Leg Press - 8 plates x 15, 10 plates x 15, 12 plates x 8 (Knees felt really shaky, but strength was good enough to do more reps and more weight.)
Seated Calf Raise - 2 plates x 25, 3 plates x 20, 3 plates x 20

Really gotta figure out a better way to feel comfortable with my knees holding up weight. They hold me back so much.

Strong leg work Capt. Look good on the video !
 
The day I have calves like Packers, I'll be happy.

Thanks brother fu!
 
Who's this packers guy and what's so nice about his calves???? I must know his secret!
 
Somebody call the cops, cause I just killed my chest/tricep workout. Ya'll want to talk about volume, I got volume for ya! It was a perfect storm of irritation, focus and intensity. Got mad before I went to the gym, then my mp3 player died after 2 seconds of playing and I had to listen to the crappy top 40 music on the gym speakers. Needless to say, I abused my chest and tris like they stole something from me. Then threw in some ab/calf/forearm work for good measure. I was seriously trying to see how far I could push myself.

Warmup -
Pec Dec - 30x20, 40x20, 50x20
Cable Tricep Pressdowns - 60x20, 70x20, 80x20

Working sets -
Cable Tricep Pressdowns - 120x15, 140x10, 150x10, 150x10, 140x10, 120x12
Overhead DB Tricep Extension - 30x25, 40x20, 50x15, 50x15, 40x15, 30x20
Skullcrushers - 65x10 for 3 sets
Bench Press - 135x15 for 5 sets
Incline DB Flyes - 45sx10 for 3 sets
Pec Dec - 60x10, 70x10, 80x10
Machine Chest Press (moderate light weight, slow reps focusing on the contraction) - 80x10, 90x10, 100x10
Reverse grip cable curls - 50x20, 60x20, 70x15, 60x15, 50x15
Wrist rollups - 10x20 for 3 sets
Seated calf raises - 3 plates x 25 for 3 sets
Hanging leg raises - 3 sets of 25

Notes - Still not noticing any side effects. Only real noticeable effects so far are insane morning wood and feeling somewhat stronger, like I fear no weight even if I can't move it when I try..LOL. Weight is staying constant at 205. Have maybe a quarter of the first bottle left, then on to the second bottle.

I wish the Freemotion machine I use could go past 400lbs.
 
"Insane morning wood" hahaha! Love it! Routines look like the ones I use to have. Really been thinking about going back to the high volume!

I love the high volume workouts. Never really did a lot of volume before Y3T, but don't feel right without it now.

Guys, I know I've slacked on updates the past week; Work has been absolutely insane and on top of that, I had to work all weekend. I've still gotten my workouts in where I could, even if they weren't my usual high octane sessions. I'll be cracking open the second bottle of 1-Andro tomorrow. I hope to get a vid up for a halfway point review sometime this week.

Yes it does. If they don't ease off me at work, I'm going to burn out quick. They have me doing more work than anyone else right now and it's catching up with me.

Tonight at the gym was just plain horrible. I had no drive, no energy and no focus. Kept the weights light and got through it. The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen. 10 minutes on treadmill to start then into back and biceps.

DB curls to warm up - 20 lb x 10, 30 lb x 10, 40 lb x 10
21s - 55 lbs
Preacher curls - 55 lbs x 10 for 3 sets
Seated cable rows - 85x10, 115x10, 135x10
Lat pulldowns (in front and behind head) - 95x10, 115x10, 135x10
Deadlifts - 115x15, 135x10, 185x10
21s - 55lbs
10 minutes on the stationary bike to close out.
 
It's ok Capt! We both have one of those 90 to 0 lives. I don't know how we can juggle what we already do. I got my 3rd lil boy on the way and I don't know what Ima do. Keep focussed and try to get you some rest. Rest will help you revive and come back swinging.

Exactly. You still got it in and it doesn't look half bad. Good job Capt. You will kill it next time.
 
Thanks guys.

Tonight was just as bad as last night. Absolutely no energy at all. After tomorrow, I have three days off from work so I'll probably take a day or two off from the gym and see if I can recharge my batteries. I honestly do not remember ever feeling this lethargic.

10 minutes on treadmill
BB overhead press (warmup) bar x 10
Front plate raise - 45x10
Side lateral raises - 20x10, 30x8, 35x8
Shrugs - 135x10, 225x10, 295x10
BB overhead press - 95x10, 135x5 This is the point that I was just completely spent and had nothing left to give.. Grabbed my gear from the locker and left, feeling completely dejected and exhausted beyond what I can explain.
 
It's that time ya'll. Halfway point update.

[video=youtube_share;xoBc5dFoOZw]http://youtu.be/xoBc5dFoOZw[/video]

Since I didn't think it would be a good workout Friday night, I didn't bother to take a notepad with me to write down what I did. But it was one of the best workouts I've ever had. Saturday night, I finally gave in and went to Planet Fitness with my gf. She'd been bugging me to go there with her since she joined. I did 30 minutes of cardio on the bike and treadmill. I'll stick to my hardcore gym though. Checked measurements earlier and they're all pretty much the same, small increases here and there but not enough to really note yet. My weight is still holding steady at 205 even though I can tell that I've leaned out some.
 
Nice shoutout to the other thread with the Megadeth song!
 
CaptHowdy5150,

Question: are you still on the first bottle? srry if you said that already, 128 posts, couldnt read them all...

how many bottles of 1-andro is considered one cycle?

and how was your progress so far in terms of lean mass gain and body fat percentage? do you have numbers?

thanks!

I just started the second bottle. You could run one bottle for a 4 week cycle or two bottles for an 8 week cycle. Of course, the 8 week cycle is your best bet to see benefits. I haven't checked the bf% as of yet. I can definitely tell a bit of a difference in the mirror though to know that I've lost some bf.
 
Are you ready?

Monday night went in to the gym with one mission.. To make my arms grow or fall off in the process. Well, they are still attached so that's a good sign. Decided to mix things up and work bis and tris. Didn't record weights, but went as heavy as I could manage and took all sets to failure (with the exception of 21s).

Cable curls - 3 sets
DB Concentration curls - 3 sets
DB Hammer curls - 3 sets
21s - 3 sets
Tricep pressdowns - 3 sets
DB tricep extension - 3 sets
Skullcrushers - 3 sets
Dips - 3 sets

Took Tuesday and Wednesday off.

Tonight: Shoulders
20 minutes on bike
BB overhead press (warmup) bar x 25
Front plate raise - 45x10 3 sets
Side lateral raises - 25x10, 35x10, 40x8
Shrugs - 135x15, 225x12, 315x10 (Went to pick up the 315 and the whole freaking squat/lunge machine came off the floor..LOL. That was interesting)
BB overhead press - 95x10, 115x10, 135x8
Lying rear delt raise - 25x10, 30x10, 35x8

Weight is still holding dead on 205, but I continue to see that I'm leaning out some.

With that said..How about a little audio/visual presentation.

How about a little added motivation tonight?

Sooo... Had some good quality family time this weekend. Went to Moose Knuckles MMA Pub & Grill last night and watched the UFC PPV. That Hendricks/Condit fight was insane and GSP just showed why he is the best. Tonight, I had to get back in there and work legs. How did that go you ask? Well to sum it up, I walked in, did a buttload of reps, puked a couple times, and almost had to crawl back to the truck. So, it was a pretty effective leg day. I decided to go for high reps tonight with a little lighter weight to mix things up.

Warmup:
Squat - bar x 20
Leg Curl - 60x20
Leg Extension - 60x20

Working sets:
Squat - 135x25, 225x25, 295x25
Leg Extension - 120x25, 160x20, 180x20, 220x15, 260x12, 280x8
Leg Curl - 120x15 (Hammies felt really weird so didn't push it), 80x25, 80x25
Leg Press - 4 plates x 25, 6 plates x 25, 8 plates x 25
Seated Calf Raise - 3 plates x 35 x 3 sets

Nick Diez seemed like he just promoted the fight and wanted the money and didnt expect to win. I'm thinking Johnny Hendricks and GSP would be a heck of a fight though!

No doubt. Dude was bangin' til he broke his hand. What he said in his post fight interview was priceless when he told GSP if he didn't grant him the championship fight that he'd fly to his house, hire a ref and they'd settle it.
 
mmorton said:
Right haha little promotion right there too. GSP is such a class act too. He truly is a champion in every way.
Click to expand...

It should be a good fight for sure. I'm a definite GSP fan, but Hendricks won my support during that fight.
 
Hands down GSP is my fav since I began watching it. Class act and if you ever watch his training sessions, you will respect the guy even more. Insane
 
Ya I'm definitely a Hendricks fan now too. That guy throws hard!! Oh another note, that's a crazy leg day to have you puking! Like a boss
 
So, I just snorted protein powder... Yeah, that sucked. I guess I got some on my hand when I reached into the tub for the scoop and just wiped my nose and yep, in the nose it went.

Anyway.. Wow, didn't realize I hadn't updated my log in this long. Sorry guys! Staying busy, busy, busy lately. Leg day today, which is weirdly becoming my favorite day. Didn't puke tonight, but came close. Left squats out tonight or I likely would have. Felt really tired tonight and just couldn't get over that the entire time. No notepad tonight, so It'll be an abbreviated, what I can remember kind of summary tonight.
Warmup:
Leg Press machine - 50x10 just to get loosened up a little
Working sets:
Leg Press - 6 plates x 20, 8 plates x 20, 10 plates x 20
Leg Extension - 80x15, 100x15, 120x15
Leg Curl - 80x15, 100x15, 120x15
Calf raises on leg press machine - 100 lbs till I couldn't move it any more
Seated Calf Raise - 3 plates x 35 x 3 sets
Hanging knee raises - 100 reps
 
I would not advise snorting protein! The membrane in your sinuses is very delicate and susceptible to all kinds of problems caused by such foolishness! If you like, I could try to help you get into a rehabilitation center to help you with your addiction.


LOL!! Jk! I've done the exact same thing before and you're right, it DOES suck!! Not quite as bad as laughing after you've taken a drink of pop and having it come out your nose! Worse than that is Vodka --had that happen to me when I was in my 20s. That burn didn't stop for quite a while!!
