Hogg's IML Super 1-Andro log

[SBH]

First of all, thanks to macedog and IML for letting me log this.

I noticed the strength gains that I got on the front end of my Lean AF log and kinda figured the 1-andro had a lot to do with it. In the past I got crazy strength gains with other 1-andro products but the lethargy was kinda nasty. The 1-andro was only dosed at 50 mgs in the Lean AF and I got no lethargy. Anyway, I'm hoping 100 mgs will be better and still not cause lethargy. We'll see.

The main goal for me on this one is a big bench. I was all over the national record for my age before I tore my pec in 2020. Gonna try to get it back. I was really coming along on my last cycle and this should help a lot.

I will be starting this one Monday and will post more details tomorrow.

 

[LeanEngineer]

In on this!

 

[SBH]

I still weigh 180. That was my goal in my last cut. This will be a lean gainer but I'm not going to try pack on a bunch of lbs. Mostly want to take lifts up.

PCT is pretty much over for me. I started TRT after the Lean AF. I used some lgd 4033 while waiting for my appointment to get my testosterone checked and gained a little strength back. Gonna throw that in this one.

I will be using 2 pumps of Super 1-Andro for 100 mgs ed. Also taking 50 oral pregnenolone and 25 mgs DHEA to hopefully help with the joints. I'm keeping the the lgd 4033 in also but only taking 10 mgs. This should be interesting.

I'm in and logging the same product. Good to hear you liked your original runs with 1-ad as this will be my first. Everyone seems to like 1-ad in general. What did you notice in terms of gains before ? What will be your diet and training to reach your bench goals on this run? Lets get it!

Well, 1-ad converts into 1-test. When I ran m1t I had some lethargy but my lifts went up fast. I noticed the strength surge on the Lean AF and it seemed to be similar. That was with just 50 mgs of 1-ad. I'm thinking it will be better with 100 mgs. Did you notice any lethargy with 200 mgs?

I will be doing pause bench to work on my right pec followed by heavier stuff on the Cybex plate loaded. Eventually, I want to get my freeweight heavy bench back. They still owe me a meet haha. Diet will be a CKD with targeted carbs pre-workout

 

[SBH]

@macedog24 sorry I didn't tag you right the first time.

haven’t tried it yet, but I’ll let you know. Sounds great

I did my first two pumps of Super 1-Andro together today to test for lethargy. The struggle with the 10 X 10 squats had nothing to do with that. A little weaker after the deload and dieting down probably. It wasn't bad, I failed on rep 99.
I'll keep ot the same next time....well.maybe

Guess were on the same log schedule lol. I hit legs today too. 10X10 on squats though ? Brutal man

The td is nice and dries super quick . When do you start noticing leethargy with 1-andro from before when you ran it?

With the m1t I kinda had it till it wore off. The 1-andro was usually in a big stack and kinda assumed that was it. Nothing like that with this so far.

That's a nice split. I'm about due to change my workout routine up a little bit. Right now hitting each body part once a week with 1 rest day.

Yeah mines similar to yours. I usually do cardio on rest days. I'm mixing the delts in on Thursday. They need work and I found a way to do OHP without the shoulder click thing.

 

[SBH]

Good workout today. I might have had a little lethargy but wondering about the oral pregnenolone having a role in that. On trt this low I figured it will help my joint issues a bit. That seems to be working my knees aren't doing too bad after all those squats.


I should comment on how well the IML Super 1-Andro absorbs. Just put it on and you can put your clothes on like 5 minutes later. This is true of all the IML creams.

I missed training yesterday and today. We're kinda snowed in and live on top a hill with a one lane road. This is after we cleaned about four inches off the vehicles and stairs yesterday.

The snow is pretty much gone and and training is on!
I'm using the super 1-andro just like it says. One pump in the AM and one at night. There's no lethargy this way. Doing two pumps at a time don't work for me too much lethargy.

Yep. No problem keeping with recombinant bike today. Legs are trashed.

Yep. No problem keeping with recombinant bike today. Legs are trashed.

I feel the same way after leg day 9 times out of 10. Then I play the game of should I do cardio or no cardio due to my legs being shot

 

[SBH]

My legs are still sore from Monday. I think I'm going to do the pof leg training more. I did the the 2 grams of arginine akg that day and pumps where crazy when got to calves.
Training was good today also. I thinking strength is going keep going up as I go. I did the hour on the recombinant bike yesterday. Usually that helps leg soreness more but I guess those angles were quite effective. Here's today's.

[SBH]

I decided to just hit delts on Thursdays because I'm going to do POF training. There's more sets with this and doing cardio would be a bit much.


I had quit doing ohp because of having a bad click in my right shoulder. If I do them with a supinated grip(palms in) instead of pronated its not that bad. Started light and will work up. It's sad, I used to be really strong on these.


I had a separated shoulder when I was in the wreck and think it popped out and back in when I tore my pec. Might eventually see an osteopath but hate the idea of wearing a sling again.

I'm not really doing a ckd anymore. I eat a keto breakfast then take in some dextrose in my pre-workout. Postworkout I've eating a high protein carby meal. Upping muscle glycogen gives me better leverage for bigger lifts and that is the goal. I take ashwagandha with the keto meal because it helps with absorption of ursolic and oleanolic acid.

I think the pof training is going to help with that also. I fill out pretty fast training with the angles.

I think the 1-andro is going to be gold for this. Lifts are coming back pretty fast.

This wasn't an international chest day thing. I was snowed in again and managed to get to gym after the snow plow ran. My gym was closed tho so I had to go to Anytime fitness gym.
The racks were taken so I did the volume chest press thing. I failed on rep 99 again . Did a 5 rep with the 155 as a make up. I got really strong playing around with volume before we'll see. The 1-andro converts into 1 test and should help a lot. It has the same androgenicity as test and seems a bit more anabolic.

I got the 10 X 10 squats in today. Let's go Brandon!(haha couldn't resist)
I'm going to do 5 X 5 in the rack next week and see how the strength is.
I think the 1-andro will help with the heavy lifts also. This is going to be an interesting experiment.

5x5 workouts, especially for squat, I get the best results in terms of strength increase and progress. After my cut I think I'm going to transition to that and build up my strength.

 

[SBH]

I didn't get to lift yesterday because of all the snow and power failure. We have a baby in the house and nobody went anywhere with the power out. Had to combine the two workouts today but it went pretty good.
Monday is still going to be chest day because it will be a week from the last one and I'm itching to try 5 X 5 with 225.

[LeanEngineer]

Nice workout! I did about 15 minutes on treadmill and 15 minutes on the bike yesterday evening. Worked out yesterday morning and did back. Bis and tris for me today.

 

[SBH]

I didn't mention it yesterday but I'm up to 186 lbs. The glycogen from going more carby might have something to do with but steady getting stronger also.

If I get the 5X5 on the bench Monday I'll pyramid the weights the next week to see where I'm at.

I like the 1-andro. The gains so far are lean and hard.

 

[SBH]

International chest day went as planned. I guess I will be doing the strength test next week.
Going to do 5X5 in the squat rack tomorrow and see where I'm at on those.
It's kinda sad that I can't do heavy deads good because I had the broken hips. It's awesome I can still do this tho.

How's the andro been? What differences are you noticing

When I first started it I noticed some lethargy doing both pumps in the am. I changed it to one in the am and one at night. The lethargy went away and now I have some serious drive while training.
The gains are lean and muscles are very hard. Did I say hard? This stuff definitely has a serious effect on sex drive also. Other than a little otc pregnenolone/dhea and TRT this is all I'm taking.
I wanted to try this to test the effect on strength.
Lifts are going up so it's a win. This would stack well with the 4-andro.

I haven't noticed that unfortunately , but the other stuff yes. Some lethargy can be noted personally , but it's not bad. Definitely none in the gym

Nice! A full inch is a lot with being lean to!

Yeah it was worse away from gym. I get pretty locked in at the gym. Especially when lifts are going up. The trt might have something to do with the sex drive thing. My endogenous test level was very low. I do notice it right after taking the 1-andro tho.

 

[SBH]

I had planned on getting 315 of Cybex but this wasn't bad. When I didn't get the 275 for 4 I changed it a bit. I will shoot for 235X5 next week and then try again. Pretty good workout tho.
