Thanks Hyde! You guys are inspiring me! 2 caps of Focus is where the sweet spot is for me. Feel much better on 2 compared to 1.

The multiple angle incline press kicks my butt every time. It hits every shred of pec muscle I swear! Lol. Thanks for following!

Lots of respect for Reggie! This is a killer for pec building, at least for me. Lol

Shoulder pain was an issue for me as well. IForce Joint Help and glucosamine really worked for me. No pain in months now. Economical as I take only 1 cap of the Help and 2 caps glucosamine per day.
 
Nice job on the PR, Kenpo! Dang, I still can't get double digits!

Solid sleep and no more shoulder issues? That's a sweet deal..!
 
Glucosamine & chondroiton @ 1500mg/1200mg respectively per day for me keeps the probs away. 340 caps for like 35 at wally & lasts 5 months.

If I'm on a brutal lifting plan, joint-wise, bulk Cissus powder from NP fixes me up on the 2nd day of dosing. Works immediately & stops working immediately if you quit using. Great add-in.

Solid sleep and Jount Help keeps the shoulder issues from happening. No jinx! Lol

Oh man! You got it good. Nasty condition. I watched a 260 lb guy drop like a stone! All red faced and babbling incoherently. We sprayed him down with water and provided shade until the EMTs arrived.

so poor i had to build myself a bench last night , got tired of using a cardio ball for one. I'll have a gym just like Kenpo (although it will be made of wood)!

Very blessed here. Did you check Craigslist? Usually there are tons of used equipment for sale. That's where I bought my Ironmaster setup. Around $3 grand of equipment for $500. These deals are there all the time.
 
yeah i have been looking on there everyday , just cash flow issues . there are some nice setups i would love to have for about that price. i have such a low ceiling in my basement i would have to move it out into the den and i know the wife would not like that. it seems i can't find just eh right thing to get. wrong bench , right weights that sort or thing. i don't know how they didn't get killed using shotty equipment with olympic style weights . some will come around. i do have access to so great facilities but as you know there is nothing like not have to wait for equipment and being able to do your own thing.

Good lifting to you!
 
So, I'm working 16 hour days, the guy in the hotel room next to me is having 3 AM to 6 AM loud phone calls and my computer equipment is malfunctioning! Needless to say there is no lifting going on! Have a great day all!!

Not cool!
 
With not being able to work out and a whole lot of improper sleep going on at this Autimation show I'm hosting, I can say that my mind is still sharp as a knife. This is the perfect test for Focus. Interesting!
 
That's awesome to hear the Focus is treating you well even outside the weightroom - especially despite dealing with the loud jack on the cellphone :)

I may be biased but I have found that a particularly neuroactive steroid like Focus is acutely beneficial during times of dealing with a heavier work load coupled with less sleep.While Focus had a nice effect on my body composition and all else that is associated with a milder steroid,I believe that its milder nature WRT anabolic effect is greatly dwarfed by its effects on well being and cognitive processing.Not saying that it is a weak androgen,either.

If you're not firing on all cylinders,the body will simply not reap the ideal results from hormonal usage.

Day 20 Weight 160.8 +0.8 lbs

I'm back in the man cave. How I missed my iron!

This past week I was hosting my company's event. I ate cleanly the entire time and kept my cals at around 2700. With 2 caps of AF Focus daily I maintained mental focus even though my sleep was constantly poor. I was energetic and on my feet the entire 16 hour days and I felt great.

Even though I lost weight, it was welcomed as it came off the belly. I have only a few days left of Focus. So far this compound has lived up to the good mood and mental improvement claim.
 
Today's workout was great.

Nice work after taking a week! I'm jealous of the Gameday. That stuff is no joke. I never needed to go above 1/2 scoop.
 
Big #s and serious work getting done up in here!
 
Thanks brothers, your words only encourage me more! Gameday at 3/4 scoop Is perfect. BTW the weighted dips are BW=160 lbs. I never know how to log the weight on those.
