Ok thank's that makes more sense. I didn't even go in to half of what i got going on this month. I almost thought about waiting till May because this month is going to be soo busy but i needed something to look forward to with all this hectic crap going on.LOL

Agreed, the goal is to create a training environment that incorporates weighted/explosive/functional movements that are imperative to on field athletics. No bubbles and balls training, biceps curls, or butt machine bs, incorporate oly lifts, and use the basics bench/deads/squats and dynamic cardio. At least that's how I feel...

When's life not hectic/busyNo better time than the present...
Not very often,but right now is worse then normal. I was at work from 8 till 3:30 went to the gym. Then went straight to a wedding and just got home. Right now I'm waiting for a phone call to tell me if I have to work tomorrow.wiether I work tomorrow or not I'll post up my workout and some thought on the Andro. Right now I'm going to bed

It's the explosive part that is always overlooked. That's one of the reasons I am really big on using bands while training to increase the demand for bar speed and power.

Saturady Day 6
Saturday is normaly a off day for me. But i had to go from work to a wedding so i hit the gym for awhile to use the shower instead of Driving a half hour home only to turn around and drive back for the wedding.
Workout:
Cardio 1 mile
I did some pullups forget exactly how many
Lat pull downs 140 3x8 Shoulder width grip
Lat pull downs 100 3x10 wide grip
Cardio 1 mile
That was it just a quick in and out only had about a half hour.
Diet:My diet has been way off with all the over time and the wedding.I plan to be back on track today.
Thoughts on the Andro: So far i've been really pleased. Mood has been much better then it would expect normally with every thing going on. I deffinetly have more energy and my libido well let just say it's more active than normal.:smirk:

Day 7 off
Day 8
Squats 175 10x10 superseted with (finished all set next week 180)
Calf raises 200 10x10 (think i need to find a better 2nd exercise)
Hanging leg raises 3x15
I weighted in a 203.8 today about 1lbs more then when i started, but with all the junk i've been eating and the high salt that comes with it's hard to say if it's just water weight. My diet has been better today but not great i need to go shoping tonight to stock up. I still havn't made up my mind on the GVT as to weither i like it or not. It certainly kicked my butt to day but i just worry that i'm not getting a balanced full body workout by not hitting a varity of different movements.
Thoughts on the Andro: Still feel grat and getting a good pump today if the first day that i've felt a real thermogenic effect by the end of my workout i was swaeting like crazy and my body temp. felt throught the roof. Even know over a hour later my body temp feel elevated. This if the first day i took 50mg of haloplex so it might have something to do with that.Only down side sofar is that i'm getting back pumps. They where getting pretty sever by the end of my workout. I started taking Taurine at 5 grams prework out next time i'll up it to 7 to see if that helps.

That might be good. I usally do deads on friday with stiff-legged for warm up. I just wonder if that would make my back pumps even worse.

Keep in mind that i'm also taking 50mg of halo-plex. I seem to be prone to back pumps. I get them even when i'm not ON if i go very heavy in my squats, but there not to bad usualy.

Day 9:
Workout:
Bench 165 10x10 superseted with
BB rows 110 10x10
Back flye 110 3x10
Incline db press 40 3x10
I was pretty pumped to finish todays sets i know 165lb bench isn't much but around the 8th set i really started to feel it. I'm not sure if its the Andro or just the GVT but i've been getting good pumps on almost every exersice. I've also been hungary all the time, making it hard to stick to a good diet.Tomorrow in a lighter day with some cardio curios to see if back pumps will be much of a issue now that i'm on Taurine.

Whats Cl as far as i know thats Cholrine
During my workouts i take Volumize from Bsn and 1 scoop of Whey. They both have your basic electrolytes but not in high quanitys. I also take my multi about 1 hr before going to the gym.

I think you will be pleased with the Taurine. It has helped many people
And as Rodja mentioned, electrolytes are of big importance also!

Day 11
Ezybar curl 70 10x10 super seted with
Skullcrushers 70 10x10
Dips Bw 3x10
Hammercurls 40 3x10
Each workout that i up the weight i keep thinking that i'm not going to be able to finish. By the time set 7-8 come around i think i'll never finish but i just get in a zone and there no way i'm going to let my self come up short. Thats one thing i like about the GVT when you finish you feel like you've really accomplished something. The down side is that the high volume is killing my joints. I already take a Joint multi and 5 grams of Fish oil but i'm going to have to find something more if i'm to keep this up for a few more weeks.

Fish oil didn't help my joints until I got to 20grams, have you tried cissus or celladrin (sp)?
NADDANME

I can't imagine taking that much. I haven't tried either but heard good about cissus don't now much about the other have to look into it. Thanks

20 grms of fish oil..thats a lot. Cissus is pretty good for joints, ive had good results from it.

Nad I forgot to comment when you asked about my GVT training... yes I do was doing the 5 day cycle. I think it's imperative, otherwise the training stimulus wears off (i.e., a week inbetween chest training is too long). At least imo.
I've recently switched to stripped down hypertrophy and will keep this up for 8 more weeks. It's kind of similiar to GVT but works two separate rep ranges and the workouts are basically total body, 5 days a week.

Happy B-day.
I take animal flex and is one of my only "staples". I love it. Elbows/Knees used to bother me more when I was doing more preacher curls/distance running. Since taking the flex I've had minimal issues.
Keep up the good work.

Might give it a try, been having some joint soreness lately, and if it heightened on cycle, I will be looking for ways to handle it.

The only time that my elbow really bothers me is when i do Skullcrushers or cable pulldowns. I have tried Animal Flex in the past it worked ok but what i've been taking has been as effective at half the cost. Usally when it starts to flair up i take Y...... can't remeber the name have to see if i have an old bottle at home or find the thread on here that talks about it. it for tendons and inflamation. I got it at vitamin world last time i'll stop by and see if i can find it again.

Day 16 (yesterday)
Been insanly busy and tired lately so i didn't get to the gym on friday or monday.
Yesterday i worked through lunch (when i normaly go to the gym) so i went after work. Last couple day's i have been really beat. I think it's a combination of the long day's low carbs and lack of sleep. So even though i didn't feel like it i dragged my self to the gym after a 10hr day at work.
Bench 170 10x10 superseted with (only got 9 on set 9 and 7 on set 10)
Bb rows 110 10x10
Back fly 110 3x10
incline Db fly's 40 3x10
First time since starting GVT that i didn't finish a set. I still think that if have more energy next week i'll go for 175.
