From DSTD to DSU to Most Wanted, and all the laxativ.. oops- laxogenin products alike, i've invested tons of money that could've been spent at strip clubs on Laxogenin. Some may ask why? Well my friends, in my constant journey to obtain "DEM GAINZ" (and to stay disease free ), laxogenin has been a novel ingredient I believe to highly benefit not only my performance in the gym, but my joints, muscle fullness in the past. Lets put Androcrine to the test and see if I get the same!
So.. Without further a-do here's my sponsored BPS Androcrine log!
Thanks to the very nice people of BPS I was sent a bottle of their new Androcrine, a revamped version of their old Laxacrine with a new transdermal carrier. It's currently in transit and i'll be receiving the tracking either later tonight or tomorrow.
Im going to be aiming for a recomp as I finished a PCT over a month ago and have dropped all of my current supplements (Besides the essentials- Protein, Creatine, BCAA powder and 3mg melatonin before bed) to give this a fair unbiased review. Im 24 and my current weight hovers around 181-185 my last IN DEPTH (Bioelectrical Impedance scale with handhelds that had additional electrodes and outlined the body fat of each and every body part along with the composition of those body parts on an electronic graph. I go to a very expensive "Shi-Shi" gym called LifeTime around New York City, I believe it has 2 of these that the personal trainers let you use upon request)body fat reading was at the end of a cycle about 2.5 months ago and was 11.2%. According to handheld body fat scanners i've ranged from 11-13% body fat over the past 2.5 months as i've continued bulking since cycle and have been increasing in both lifts and size. I will however ask to use the Bioelectrical Impedance Scale the morning I receive Androcrine, i'll be sure to be fasted and intermittent fast the night before so as to ensure closest possible results.
Goals for this log/cycle-
My goals for this log are quite simple, to entertain you gains hungry FUARKSSS! While trying to tighten up a bit and increase my compound lifts about 5-10 pounds each. Over reaching? Maybe, but i never doubt BPS's ability to deliver!
Macros currently-
Calories- 2800-3100
50/30/20
Carbs generally range 300-400
Proteins always above 200
Fill the rest with fats.
Will be lowering this for the log to get a fair recomp effect.
My lifts currently look like-
Bench- 1rm-290 2 reps-275 3 reps 265. (Arguably my weakest lift, but i'm happy with being able to bench 100 pounds over my BW) My goal is to hit the 300 club on bench again as i reached 315 on my previous cycle, i currently feel like i could go over 290 but my joints however have been aching quite a bit, another thing i hope Androcrine can deliver on as im dropping my Fish Oil for this log to attest to it's ability to help joints.
Squat- 1rm-375 2 reps-370 3 reps-360 (don't know why there's a 10 pound drop from my 2 repper to 3 reps guess i need more frequency?) Im goal here is to add 15 pounds here, my squat has been stalling lately im really striving for the 400 pound squat mark i've never actually hit that before.
Deadlift- 1rm- 455 (got 465 before but it was only once so i chalked it up to one of those good days, could not reciprocate after multiple attempts.) 2 reps- 445 3 reps- 430(again a decent drop between 3 reps and 2 reps not sure why?). I also do a lot of deficit work on deadlifts. As you'll as i post my workouts I'll be focusing mainly on deficit deadlifts for this run as it really helps my back build even faster. I usually do 6 inch lifts and stay between 315 to 405 for the large end deficits.
I stopped doing OHP as I didn't feel they helped my shoulders progress any faster and I find that doing choker benching (Bring the bar directly above the neck after unracking, using a wide grip and allowing your elbows to flare out as you lower the weight.) I focus 100% on negatives with these and take about 3 seconds from unrack to actually touch the tops of my front deltoids and then bench the weight up.
Now for my workout scheme which to many of you will seem excessive and like I need more rest, so im ready for the barrage-
I work out 6 days a week for about 2 to 3 hours. I also sometimes split do 2 sessions. THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS. It's for the mental relief I get from lifting, even if this is hindering muscle growth (Which i highly doubt as I sleep a minimum of 8 and a half to 9 hours a night and most commonly get 9 and a half hours a night). I'm not a very stressed person but I openly admit im ADDICTED to being in the gym, and my training scheme will STAY like this until my body can no longer accommodate.
Now for my workouts-
I focus EXCLUSIVELY AND EXCESSIVELY on big compound lifts as I love the feeling of being absolutely dead after I workout, talk about enjoying self inflicting agony on leg days
I start the week with 1 MAJOR chest day where I mainly just do flat bench, incline bench and then proceed to go to an adjustable fly machine and spent about 12-15 sets hitting different angles of my chest,
After loosening up my shoulder and doing some nice free weight kettlebell flys (lay down on bench do 3 sets of light weight for reps to warm up my chest)
My flat bench days tend to look like this-
1 warm up 135x15
1 Average-Heavy 265x3 then I go to either match or break my PR depending on how the PR 1 rep goes
1 Matching PR rep - 290 x1. Now if it goes up easily i'll attempt a new PR, if not I commense with a very rare routine many of you will not agree with-
I do 8 sets of bench at 6 reps dropping 5 pounds every set and only 30 seconds of rest between sets so an example would be-
235x6
230x6
225x6
220x6
215x6
210x6
205x6
200x6
Now you may be wondering how do I know if im progressing? Well it's very simple if I feel like the first set of 6 goes up fast and i attempt a 7th and complete the 7th with no help from a spotter then the next time I have my heavy chest day i'll start 5 pounds heavier and start with only 5 reps of that new weight and until continually run this cycle until i can do that new weight for 6 sets, then from there continue that cycle until i feel like i can up it another 5 pounds. It sounds crazy but it's very easy to measure results and results come very fast with this method for me personally
Tuesdays are my general accessory days where i'll choose either shoulders and traps or calves and quads and work to hit the muscle how i want them and prime the muscle for the next workout-
Wednesdays are generally my back day, now my back day is exactly the same as my chest day the routine i specified for flat bench i do for Deficit deadlifts aswell and for the next 3 months i'll be working off 6 inch deficits only and then cycle back to conventional. I do 3 months conventional then 3 months deficit rinse and repeat to shock my body.
My back days usually consist of 2-3 vertical pull and 2-3 horizontal pulls AFTER dead lifts.I'll also finish off every back day with an exercise specific to hitting the lower back or 1 specifically targetting my lower lats. (My traps and middle back are very thick compared to the rest of my back so im trying to find equilibrium between the 2.)
Thursdays
Bis/tris
I've just started occlusion training thanks to the help of Dma378 and BeastFitness I've been following his log and his protocols for Occlusion training and the pumps have been insane.
Fridays
The dreaded leg day-
My leg days are actually normal compared to my back and chest days
I pyramid my squats generally start with 135x20 and do some cable glute kick backs to warm my legs up before getting into the real routine
Then my squatting will look something like this-
225x12
245x10
265x10
285x8
315x6
335x4
315x6
285x8
265x8-10(Basically to failure but aiming for 8 minimum)
245x6-10(Basically to failure but aiming for 6 minimum)
225x6-10(Basically to failure but aiming for 6 minimum)
30 seconds to 1 minute and a half rests as I go through the squat pyramid
Finish off with 135x10
then go do the usual lunges, calf raises, quad extensions, ect ect depending on how im feeling that day
Then finally Saturday is generally my ABs day where I do a solid 45 minutes of abs and then 30 minutes of Insanity classes and call it quits.
Sunday rest day
So I hope I haven't missed anything and my training methods don't make you cringe, all in all i'll update this as soon as the Androcrine comes in and I can't wait to see who comes along for the ride.
Thanks again to BPS and lifted67 a company with great supplements currently and hopefully a new one that will rival the rest, only time will tell.
Also congrats to my fellow loggers-
