KJ's 1-Andro RX Revolution (Sponsored)

[Irish Cannon]

glad to hear it is all smooth. If the back pumps continue a little taurine goes a long way

Yep. Taurine is very helpful for back pumps. I've never suffered from them, but I DO have a messed up back right now. - I screwed it up last Friday. I haven't worked out since, and may have to take an additional week off.

Things are looking great here, KJ.

As AE said, I'm a fan of both Purple Wrath and BC+EAA. You can't go wrong with either. I'm actually using both right now. I've been using PW intra-wo, and BC+EAA throughout the day and pre-bed with 1-carboxy and 1g VitC. (Lean out effects). - Our new flavors are great!

Cheers.

Decent shoulders...in a rush

Pretty good workout this morning. Upright rows were up quite a bit. Lowered the weight on BB OH press, felt a twinge and didnt want to test it. Have fought bouts of shoulder pain for 10 years. Ever since I started doing the Branch Warren shoulder warm up I have had very few flare ups. I do it even on leg day. Anyway, felt good had a great pumps and great endurance.

BB OH Press:

135x15 WU
145x12x3

BO cable lat raises unilaterally :

17.5x12x2
20x12x2

BB Upright Rows:

95x12
105x12x2
105x14

Plate chops:

45x25
45x12

Spent......

Just felt great today. I tihnk the BLAST is actually giving me more endurance as well as the Andro. I may just continue the BLAST until its empty before getting more Jack3d. Been sleeping exceptionally well now that I think about it. Appetite is still up....I'll get a weight tommorrow morning for you:borladuck: guys.

Upright rows are tough for me for some reason, its a strange motion for my body. Gotta love plate chops. I do em with a partner and we match each other rep for rep, and every ten reps we touch plates together and hold for like ten seconds. Its the longest ten seconds ever.

 

[kjkriston]

Funny that you know what plate chops are.... i usually have to explain them to people......great way to finish a workout....love the burn.

 

[dedlifter1]

Yeah, its an old school movement. I also do them side to side with two 45s held together, and also instead of straight up and down, i will switch sides (pass my left ear, then right.)

Sounds painful....Ill have to ry it !

 

[dedlifter1]

No doubt. Its great with a partner, cause u can do the touch plates thing, and the first to give up is obviously the bigger pussy.

 

[WhatsaRoid?]

Can you guys explain this workout to me or post video? I tried to google it and I dont see anything; Pork chops keep coming up (weird I know)

 

[kjkriston]

Take a 45 an hold out in front. Raise it over your head and bring it back out in front of you again....as fast as possible....thats 1 rep. Yeah baby it hurts!

I think im gonna do them today as a matter of fact......

Quick Update!

Hit up arms yesterday and got A SICK PUMP! Almost superdrol-like! Felt like my BIs were gonna explode. Wasnt a super heavy workout but it went well. Ill post numbers but its nothing impressive. Arms and shoulders are both groups that I lighten up a little for better results. They respond better to volume. Anyway here ya go:

Dips:

BWx12x4

Cable Concentration curls:

30x12x4

Reverse cable pushdowns:

20x12x4

Preachers:

115x12x3
90x12

close grip cable curls:

115x12x3

Unfortuantely thats it. Go there late again so I did some reverse curls at work. I have a curl bar there...I know...its ridiculous....Everything is going well. Appetite is still up and recovery is fast! Lovin this stuff!

 

[Irish Cannon]

Sweet life.

Doing arms has nothing to do with weight really imo anyway. I go heavy on one movement on bi and one on tri. Heavier barbell curls, and heavy close grip\jm press. All the others, i focus on reps, keep the muscle engorged with blood.

 

[kjkriston]

Thats a lesson that took me a long time to learn. Had to swallow my pride and lower the weights like I do with shoulders.

 

[Nole1]

Still looking good man - love those plate chops. I never had a name for them before. LOL.

 

[kjkriston]

I Think we should start calling them man-makers.....what do you think?

 

[Nole1]

LOL - perfect.

 

[kjkriston]

I feel like a total turd sitting on my ass today. Wanted to go run and maybe hit up some weights but the wife had to go help a friend and now Im home with the kids. The little one just wont take a damn nap and is screaming because hes tired. Funny....in 10 years I wont be able to get him out of bed!

 

[Pirate!]

What's your diet like? Have you added more calories lately?

 

[kjkriston]

Diet

I have unkowingly added calories due to my increased hunger. I tihnk I am around 3200 per day at this point. My vascularity is up quite a bit which leads me to believe I am actually leaning out while on a calorie surplus. Diet has been super clean during the week with the weekend being a little more leanient. Still maintaining a 40/40/20 macro for the most part. I notice my hunger kicks hard later in the day. I plan on kicking up the cardio for the last two weeks and supressing too many hunger cravings to really see a difference. Recovery has been increasing steadily. Pumps are great and sleep has actually improved. I have no idea how that is possible as I have stopped taking valerian and melatonin and some how I am sleeping deeper. Usually anabolics give me insomnia to some degree. Loving this cycle either way. Thanks again.

 

[dedlifter1]

How are the mirror gains so far KJ? Oh, and man makers sounds perfect.

 

[kjkriston]

Nothing dramatic as of yet but like I said my arms are way more vascular and I look fuller all over. I need to get out and do some cardio today and a bunch of yard work.

 

[Nole1]

Sounds like you are seeing the same things I'm seeing. Fuller, more vascular and HUNGRY. LOL.

 

[kjkriston]

Yes exactly..the hunger is the most notable by far!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Yes exactly..the hunger is the most notable by far!

Agree completely here guys. I just want to eat around the clock.

 

[dedlifter1]

Interesting indeed. I read somewhere that the strength gains come later.

 

[kjkriston]

I would love to run this @ a gram a day for 6 weeks.....bad fvking Ass!

 

[AZMIDLYF]

I was contemplating an increase in dose myself!!

 

[Nole1]

I too considered it - but think I'll run it at 600 as suggested this time around and then maybe do it higher later in the fall, like Sep/Oct timeframe.

 

[AE14]

awesome results so far for all the loggers. The by product of hunger is one of those little benefits that really adds in a great deal.

 

[kjkriston]

Body didn't want to cooperate....so it suffered!

Had an OK workout today. Just couldn't get going right away. Inlcine numbers were down as was endurance. So to counterbalance that I destroyed myself. I felt great when I was done but it just wasn't a great time. Anyway everything else was OK. I felt like crap last night which may have been the problem this morning. Here are the numbers:

Incline BB:
135x15
225x12
225x10
225x8
225x6

Just didn't feel good. I was shaky throughout and my partner bailed again.

Cable X-overs:

30x12
35x12
32.5x12
30x10

Seated Hammer Press:

180x10
165x10
150x10
135x10

Pec Deck:

180x12
165x10
150x10
135x10

Dips:

BW+35x12
BWx10x2


I felt good there at the end. Went home had a 48g whey shake, a left over burger, and an animal pak. I hope tommorrow feels better than today.
:grumble:

 

[Nole1]

Good job pushing through. Move to Tampa - I won't bail on you and need a partner. Mine moved to Italy last summer. Can't find anyone reliable.

 

[AE14]

KJ, numbers are still very solid for not feeling good. Part of the reason I always train alone, people are too unreliable

 

[WhatsaRoid?]

I agree here but I still need a spotter :lick:

We are both on the same boat, I hope this week picks up for the both of us.

I for the most part had given up entirely on having a partner until I moved here and people kept asking me who I lift with. I get it alot as I am sure all of you do as well. That and the ever popular..."what are you taking?' I love answering that one with "Just protein, creatine, and glutamine." Anyway, My partner always has an excuse so I am just going to stop asking him if he'll be there in the A.M. Maybe hell stop completely or just leave me alone. I'm not afraid to ask for a spot when I need it.

I love all those questions, no one is ever happy with the response. It is as if they expect a whole deal more

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Looks like you still got the job done KJ! I will be in that spotter jam in another year when my son packs up and heads to school or junior hockey. I guess I will have to start training my 5 yr old daughter. Hope you guys feel better tomorrow!

 

[Irish Cannon]

I've never enjoyed having a lifting partner. They're just not reliable. I had a roommate that was pretty good for a while, but he'd get bored with the routines and just go do his own thing.

I make good enough progress on my own. Lifting is a personal release to me anyways. I like training by myself.

I really want to try this hormone! I've never used any 1-test stuff...it's just so dang pricey! Maybe in time.

I personally enjoy lifing on my own with just some loud music in my headphones and them heavy ass weights. Just need a spot every once in a while.

 

[Nole1]

+1 on the spotter. The last workout partner I had worked out with me for almost 4 years. We were just dead on with each other and would push each other hard. When we did Bill Starr's 5x5 - it was brutal......

He's moving back to FL in 3 years....I'll just suck it up til then, and try to get way stronger and make him look bad!

As for the "what do you take" questions - LOL - I always say the same thing, eat alot, sleep alot, lift alot.........that and take your vitamins little hulkamaniacs......LOL.

 

[Irish Cannon]

Yep, I say the same.

Them: What do you take?

Me: Food. Some protein. That's about it.

...I've even gone as far as to say, "Nothing, I just work out hard." lol

Everyone is looking for a magic pill to take....most of the guys who ask me are "gonna start lifting again"....."what can I take to get my strength back?" Irritates the shlt out of me.

 

[Nole1]

They can take thier time. No matter what it takes time and patience. Nothing we do is going to add an inch to our biceps this month.

Except maybe a really big sweater:dunno: I cant stand dudes like that. This one kid recently came back to my gym after not coming for like 10 months. When he left i was like 190 lbs, really cut. Then i bulked hard and was about 225 and 13% bf. (which i think is a successful bulk) He was like dude you blew up, what did you take. I told him nothing until i ran the one toward the end, then i proceeded to tell him how i lift, which is like im crazy. Then he walked away and did some cable crossovers as his primary chest movement.

What......no rack curls that day for him? LOL. If I get back down to 220-225 about 13% is where I'd hope I'd be. That will be the goal once I'm done with 1-Andro.....

 

[kjkriston]

Another great day

Banged out some shoulders today. Felt great. Endurance was back, some weights were up and I had a great pump.It was a nice little rebound from yesterday. I would normally have hit up back but I felt a twinge the other day and figure I'll give it the week off. My appetite is getting out of control. I have to actually tell myself to stop eating so I dont get any calorie spill over. I'm thinking the 1-Andro is really starting to kick. Heres the numbers....if I can remember them all:

Seated BB OH Press:

135x15 WU
155x10
175x10
185x10

Bent Over Cable Lateral-

30x10x4

Upright BB rows:

135x10x4

Man Makers-

45x20 +10 sec hold
45x15 +10 sec hold
45x15 +10 sec hold
45x3 ... didnt feel OK....hurt like in a bad way....no pain since but I thought I had over done it.

Overall a good day...gonna get some arms and legs in tommorrow hopefully. Got the death cardio coming up again friday.....:worried:
