Thanks. It was the first time I hit them that high. I wasn't going to take it beyond 295 because that set felt shaky and I had some suspect sticking points of them, but I figured I ought to go for the gold while I'm on the Andro-love.
Yeah, those Front Squat numbers are insane
The last time I was training squats legitimately, was last July, before I re-aggravated my left erector spinae and had to take another long break. At that time I was only performing front squats, I was basically only squatting to improve my cleans/snatch and I didn't even do back squats, which explains why my front squats are so close in number to my back squat and why my front squats "seem" high. They used to be my primary form of leg training.
Yeah, its more uncommon to see the cleans grip, unless you know relatively hardcore O-lift guys. It takes a lot of time and training to get your wrists that flexible, unless you're simply blessed with great wrist flexibility.
Getting there :240:
Thanks, Anton.
The cleans grip for me personally is actually the most non-throat obstructing, but then my wrists start to get jacked when the weight gets higher. The cross arm can be hit or miss on the throat pressing, but I'm finding the sweet spot more consitently know.
I hear you. The last set of front squats with 315 was placed badly and pressed against my throat to the point that I was literally choking and making a choked-out noice whenever I went down for a rep, it sucked. I don't think it became unbearable until rep 3, but by then I was too close to my goal to stop and re-adjust.
Don't be overly impressed, front squats used to be my primary form of squatting, so I've had much practice with it. Plus, I'm only hitting 5's, which my body excels at; the lower ranges. I could probably hit 135 for 10 reps, barely, lol, maybe not that bad, but I struggle with high reps squats.
I'm always the last guy to get the memo on a friend's log at AM. You're fashionably late :wink1:
Lol, I wouldn't say hush-hush. I just didn't want to disrespect the company behind our cutting contest by re-directing the thunder in "that" log to here. I'm weird like that.

You will be surprised with AndroHard Sam, it will jack your strength up quick. Are you running any kind of nettle root supp when you take that AH? I really think you should, it will cause prostate issues for many and it is easy to mitigate with nettle root. Saw Palmetto helps a little but not enough IMO, Divanex by NP is what I am getting for my AH run here after I complete my PCT and have some time off. Can't wait to see how it treats you as I am going to run the new AH here this summer as well.

Update
Again with the profuse sweating last night. I've packed 3 or 4 shirts in my trunk now so I can change when I get out the gym. My shirts are getting too wet & uncomfortable to sit in my car and drive home in, so I'm well prepared now.
Today is technically a rest day, where I only perform cardio. I want to go jogging, but I don't know how much my legs will like that after yesterday's leg day. However, my legs seem to be okay. Zero DOMS in the glutes or hams and only slight DOMS in the upper/middle quads, so it may be do-able, otherwise, its more stair-climbr.

No, I'm not running either of those supplements. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll look into it; the nettle root, and thanks for joining in :cheers:

I was curious myself as to what support supps you are using.

Nothing support wise. I went thorough with PCT, over-cautious really, but I have it. Apart from Fins nettleroot, is there something else you would suggest?
PCT Wise I have:
Nolva 20/20/10/10
Phyto-Test 4 caps/daily
DAA 15 days on
Formadrol 4 caps/daily
PRIME 4 caps/daily
VolcomX311

Really? Okay, I wouldn't have considered that. I may not even use it in that case. Whycome at the end of PCT?

Ah, maybe I'll sub in some bulbine natalensis if APS releases their version in time, thanks.

Forget that, run something that you know will work. I would pick up the T-Force twin pack, that Fadogia brought my raisenets back after a few days and now they are near full size and function while on Epi. It is cheaper and trust me you will like the results at 2-3 grams a day. With the twin pack, you will get a lot of time out of it dosed high for your PCT.

Oh nice, AH and AM on the way, that's pretty awesome. Thanks for joining in and I hope all goes well for you.

Are you just rooting for Rua or do you also expect him to win? I'm rooting for Shogun myself, but I'm leaning toward JBJ to walk away with the victory. Where do you see Rua winning this out of curiosity?
My personal speculation is that JBJ will fluster Rua with his reach, not that Rua's has never fought long limbed fighters before, but JBJ has long limbs and works it quite well.
Rua doesn't have the greatest TDD, but has great BJJ, however, a strong wrestler has the ability to nullify good BJJ. I don't know that JBJ's wrestling meets that BJJ nullifying criteria, because I'm not as savvy as to Rua's BJJ talent, but I certainly see top domination being a problem for Rua.
JBJ does have toothpicks for legs and Rua can whip kick those suckers to all hell, but again, that 82 or 84 inch reach JBJ has is going to make him hard to kick.
How do you see it going down? Anyone with an opinion is welcomed to chime in.

Yes. About a week into it. I payed something like $14.00 extra for uber fast shipping when I originally orderd it, so I got them rather promptly last Friday.
Just double checked, today is day 7 since I've been on it.

So that AL is making you sweat huh, you have my attention. All the research on 7-keto DHEA is so promising but the bioavailability of it is so terrible that it is almost a waste to take. Either way I am happy things are going well for you, any acne developing yet from the AH? I had an issue with that because it is so androgenic.
VolcomX311
Legend
No acne. I'm not very prone to acne. I wasn't in high school and I haven't been since, but if I do, I'll certainly note it. The last two days I've been sweating much more profusely then normal and starting yesterday, I've had random spits of aggro. That's about all I've reported on apart from some improved performance on Monday's chest day.
Just got my second shipment of AH/AL in :fest30:

He isn't the only logger of AndroLean reporting this either, imo this is already showing the prowess of this new delivery system.

I was surprised to see Shogun be an underdog in this fight because Jones' has faced 1 opponent in the top-10. Shogun has fought more prolific strikers (Diabate and Overeem 2x) and was not overly troubled by either of them, but they do not have the wrestling of Jones.
As you said, the leg kick will be one of the deciding factors in this fight because Shogun can really whip his hips and Jones legs are smaller than most LWs out there.
VolcomX311

Exactly why I got it. For whatever reason, I respond extremely well to PRIME.

Making me jealous. I havn't got my Andro product yet (Mass), and you already got a second order. :nana:
VolcomX311

The packages come with a sweet ANDRO Series 7 day pill dispenser (with a long 8th slot for misc. pills). It's a deep dispenser, so all six of my pills fit with room to spare in each compartment. Now I've got too of them. This thing is super convenient and it looks really nice. It reads Primordial Performance ANDRO Series across the top of the dispenser.
*Side Note*
My AH/AL is starting to make my face greasy as hell.

My wife isn't home yet with her Android phone, which is the only camera I'm aware of, but let me look around and if I can snap a shot I definitely will.
VolcomX311

Well that was a fail. I found one of my wife's old cameras, snapped some pictures of the ANDRO Series dispenser and it turns out there's no SD card in the camera. I need some camera to laptop USB cable and I have no clue where that is. I'll have to wait until later, that's annoying.
I even deleted some of her pictures because the internal memory was full, oi.

Update
This morning I was 204lbs, it was nice to break 205 finally. The weirdest thing with me is that my scale numbers always tend to "drop" after the previous night's carb up.
- Chest recovery (from Monday), I would say is about 1 day ahead of schedule. I could hit chest tonight if I wanted to based on how recovered they feel. Normally, I may be sore up until Saturday, depending on how intense I worked them.
- Legs recovery (Wednesday), I'd be comfortable hitting legs again tomorrow and I really might. Uber accelerated recovery and even a substantial buffer against day-after DOMS.
- Delts (Tuesday), never got sore, but they don't seem to get sore anymore in general.
- Back (Tonight), we'll see....

makes no sense to me to take 50 supplements at once, with food or without you cant possibly absorb all of that
