Looking forward to seeing that 1rm squat! Impressive to say the least
 
Thanks squats are my genetically gifted lift. It's taken two full years to recover from a full ACL rupture and get my strength back. Squatting 2-3 times per week for past year. Prior to injury 1RM was 405. It will be very tough to beat as it was very recent and I barely hit it. I think bench and deadlift will be easier to PR as they've been higher before. But I'm gonna give em all hell.
 
So I went to the gym last night for Day 1 Heavy power day for chest/back/shoulders/traps. Ended up calling it quits while warming up. Had a sharp pain in the armpit area when benching. Felt like a muscle strain and didn't wanna tear a pec. This training body parts twice a week is taking its toll on my body coupled with poor sleep lately. Taking today off too. Gonna hit the sack early hopefully but I have a hard time getting myself in bed. I've always been a night owl. Gonna start Day 1 over again on Monday. Skipped starting the 1 Andro until tomorrow. Will do some foam rolling and ice/heat tonight also. If it doesn't feel right after Monday I'll go back to my regular training split/single muscle group 1x per week.

Update: pec/armpit tendon area is still sore and tight. Gonna continue stretching/rolling and ice therapy one more day. Gonna switch Day 1 workout (heavy chest/back/delts/traps) with day 2. So heavy squats today. Gym at 4 pm today. Will post workout this evening. Also started 1 Andro this morning. 1 cap with breakfast at 6am. Will take 2nd at 3pm.

Pretty good leg day. The stairway for the gym is about 30 steps and my legs wanted to buckle. Always a good sign IMO. Nothing to note yet other than the placebo effect. I always tend to go extra hard on the first day of something new. Also I usually crap out on calf raises around set 6 or stop raising the weight earlier. Left knee was throbbing a little warming up but that's common for me. Felt good and tight while squatting though. Chest is still sore. Gonna attempt chest again tomorrow. Hopefully the extra rest will pay off. Seriously don't know if my shoulders can handle two days a week anymore. We'll see...
 
Yeah! Sub'd!!!

1) take the andro with your fish/flax oils, they'll aid in absorption

2) buy more bottle(s) and extend cycle - 1Andro can put on some mass!!

Killing it great job
 
Day 2

Dosed 1 Andro 6 am and 4 pm 1 hour preworkout.

I had to scrap heavy bench day yet again due to pain/tightness in the armpit area. Instead did a modified heavy shoulder day. No problems whatsoever with the vertical pressing. Front raises caused minor discomfort so I only did two light sets, then burnout on rear delts.
Seated Dumbell shoulder Press:
55 x 15
65 x 12
75 x 12
85 x 9
90 x 8
100 x 5
100 x 5
Front Raises:
20 x 15
25 x 10
Bent over rear Delt Raises:
Triple dropsets x 2
20x 60->15 x 30->10 x 10
25 x 60->20x 30->15 x 10
Dropsets were so painful but in a good way! Felt great all day. Was pumped to hit the gym but it slowed my roll when I had to skip benching. Anyway, shoulders felt strong with no pain. Had a nice pump by the time I left. Cleaned up the diet a lot over the weekend while not working out and arms were a little more vascular early in the day. Had some ravenous hunger late in the afternoon when I usually don't so I fed the beast. That's about it. Weight is holding at 213-215 so far.
 
Day 3

1 cap 6 am and 1 4pm.

Today is a rest day. Tomorrow starts 3 days of Hypertrophy training beginning with chest and shoulders. Fingers crossed but it feels like soreness/pain is fading.
As far as the 1 Andro, my mood and energy feel great. No negative sides or strength/physical changes to note. Appetite does seem a little elevated again. Seem to be getting that gnawing hunger about an hour or two sooner than normal. No idea if this is related but it is a change.
 
Is that the armpit area? Lol. If so its starting to feel better. Feels like a minor strain now. Chest and shoulders will probably benefit from the time off.
 
Day 4

1 cap 6 am. 2nd cap 6 pm.

Chest/Arms hypertrophy day. Hit the gym @ 7 pm. Worked late but energy level was good.
Dumbbell Incline Bench:
90's x 12

175 x 12
205 x 12

55 x12/105 x 12/12
65 x 12/120 x 12/12

Chest was tight but loosened up quickly during warm ups. No pain Today! Got a huge pump tonight. Probably combination of the 1 andro and 5 days of no chest exercises. Endurance felt great for having a layoff. Overall no physical changes noticed yet. Weight is still static. Mood is great and so is energy and endurance.

It was the only thing on my phone that didn't have to be resized! Lol. Coincidentally enough it fits as I have hit this achievement many times in my life. Lol.

Now this would be a great avi! I used to have the same problem with photo resizing but YatesWifey04 has been resizing my pics with an app. What is that app? We need to know!
 
Invalid Link Removed
Couple pics of me and my workout partner(son). He goes with me everyday. He actually gives it hell for about fifteen minutes which is like two hours for a four year old. He likes deadlifts and yells "I'm the hulk!" When he locks it out. My daughter only lifts her tablet. Lol. Starting 'em young.
 
My kid is only 2 and a half and loves to do cardio workouts with his mother. I will have him lifting soon I hope
 
A family that works out together is a happy and healthy one. We all go too. My wife went through a cross fit phase. It was a rough time but thanks to counseling I have my wife back and we all hit the gym together. Lol
 
Sorry guys!! I was working out. The app is called PhotoGrid. It's a collage app, but has the option to use a single photo as well....use that option. Once you've chosen your pic & hit save the app gives you resolution options to save it as. The lowest is 720x720 & it doesn't distort the pics like straight cropping does!! I hope this helps!!
 
Worked late yesterday and hit the gym very late. Here is yesterday's workout. Today's will be legs/calves hyper trophy. I will post it this evening.

I was dead after my workout last night. Had to force myself to do last exercise. Mostly due to late workout time. Usually go in the afternoon. Energy was good all day. Weight is up 1 lb. had huge meal after gym and bed an hour later. Woke up very full and vascular due to that. Back to normal schedule today. Appetite is also healthy and no side effects. Strength is better endurance wise but no PR increases so far.

670 x 15/120 x 10/90 x 8
760 x 15/130 x 8/90 x 8

Very draining leg day. Calves were pumped and painful. Much better pump than normal. Weight felt light enough, but the gym ac is broke so I was sweating profusely and fatigued very quickly. Had to take almost 3 minute rests between supersets. Usually only 60-90 seconds on hyper days. Vascularity in forearms is improving a lot. Can't see em cause of tattoos but can feel em starting to crinkle again. I like that! No weight change today. Only noticing improved pumps and vascularity thus far. No real strength change except maybe a couple reps early on.

Got called in to work overnight for an emergency. Will only get a couple hour nap and will be going until 8am. Gonna be up for about 28 hours. Not good for gains but that's life. Tomorrow is a rest day thankfully.
 
I cnt work that long. Are you in the medical field as well? Get that rest man, I'd be out after getting home from that shift
 
Day 7

Rest day

1 cap 8 am 1 cap 4 pm

Since 6 am Yesterday I've only had 5 hours total sleep 1-2 hours at a time. Feel pretty good after an afternoon nap. Gonna hit the gym at normal time for some light cardio. Tomorrow is upper body heavy power day.

Late workout tonight but I had plenty of energy. I warmed up extra before benching heavy. I still had to cut it short due to pain in the left pectoral axilla area again. It got pretty intense so still not healed. Think I'm gonna cut out the heavy bench pressing for a couple weeks and sub in 200 push-ups on heavy chest days and keep the hypertrophy days. This sucks. Everything else felt great but I hate training around an injury.

Good work bro. Tell me about it I tweaked my rotator and two weeks of zero upper body and it's still hurts anytime I try to do anything to test it out. I've thought about trying to work around it but fear delaying the healing further.

Another good heavy leg day! Felt strong. Upped the weights faster this week and hit my reps on almost every set. Not a crazy jump but notable. I did crap out at the end. Only six sets of standing calf raises. Still feeling good energy through the day. Hardness and vascularity still improved.

45x12/150x12/0

Upper pec and shoulder on my left side are hurting again. I dropped the weights very low and tried to stretch it out after warming up very thoroughly. I stuck with inclines as they felt less stressful and cut out the dips. I don't think it's a pull or strain. Pretty sure it's something bad inside the shoulder. My bench has been decreasing slowly the past few years due to the shoulder. The strength is there but the joint isn't up to it. I've tried all the therapeutic fixes I can think of. I made an appt. with the ortho today for the 18th. Until then I'll just train around the pain and focus on lean mass and strength on the other lifts. Hopefully I'll get good news from the doc. At this point I'm ready for surgery or anything that will stop this pain and strength decay:(
 
Damn, that sucks. Hopefully it's something minor.

Yeah I hope buddy. Been struggling with it for quite a while. Enough is enough. Started when I was recovering from knee surgery. Comes and goes but never goes away completely. Family doc wasn't concerned but it's time for a 2nd opinion.

A second opinion is a good idea, as long as he doesn't suggest cortisone shots. A sports medicine doctor should be able to find and address the underlying cause. Good luck with it homie, I know how bad injuries suck
