First, I would like to say thank you to BPS FireTitan and @R1ball for allowing me to log Androcrine. I have used one BPS product in the past, Endosurge, and enjoyed it. That will not influence my log one way or the other though.

I was interested in logging this because I am not fully sold on Laxo. I ran a Laxo product a few months back. It was hard to properly gauge its effects on me. My gym was renovating so I was going to different gyms and half way through, my gym re-opened, but it was a new location and all new equipment. Mentally, I was thrown off.

In case you do not follow my log, here is my split and what I will be using for the next 30 days

My lifting schedule will look like this:

Sunday - Push Hyper
Monday - Pull Power
Tuesday - Legs Hyper
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Push Power
Friday - Pull Hyper
Saturday - Legs Power

As far as my diet, I carb cycle. I have two low days, two high days, and three moderate days. I will go more into this when I start the log.

Supplements I will be using are:

PowerMax XT
PES Select
Orange Triad
Oxiomega
NOW Vitamin C-1000
NOW Vitamin D - 5,000
Gut Health
Primaforce LCLT
Scivation Xtend
MAN Sports NooPump

My dosing will be six pumps daily. I am going to split this between two doses though. Yes, I shower twice a day, everyday. I weigh myself every Sunday morning, so in tomorrow's post I will give that information.

Push Hypertrophy


Weight - 156.8

Weight is the same this week.

I was able to hit ten reps for all six sets with the 55 pound dumbbells. Last time I performed a 6x10, I had to drop the weight to 50 pounds for the last set. I also decided to go up on the last set of seated dumbbell presses. The first two sets were kind easy. The 40's were heavier, but doable. I had a very good session and it seemed to go fairly quick.

Androcrine - For obvious reasons, I cannot comment on the product yet. I decided I am going to dose all six pumps at once and then just apply body lotion after my second shower.

The "liquid" is creamier than I thought it would be. It is not as heavy as lotion; think of a watered down lotion. It also has a white color of lotion, just a little diluted in color too. It spreads very easy and dries pretty quickly. After I applied it, I made my bed, got my lunch for work, had a shaker full of water and it was more than dry. This was about a seven minute process.

I was able to apply it to my shoulders, arms (inside and out) and upper chest. Whatever was left on my hands, which was minimal, I just wiped on my stomach.

Very happy with the session today. I had roughly 60 mg of caffeine pre workout. I don't know if that made a difference, but who knows. Last time I did a 7x3 on deadlifts, I only hit 375 for my top set and I remember, it was extremely tough. Not to say 380 was a cake walk, but I would say on par with how 375 felt last time. Everything else increased a little as well. My hunger is high today for some reason.

Nice lifts considering no stims. As far as checking your phone, that will screw your sleep up bad. iPhone has a night mode with lowers emitted blue lights. Its helped a bit.

Went to the chiro for an adjustment today.

Training went VERY well. I was able to go out of my prescribed percentage for my last set of paused flat bench. It was only one pound over, but it was still more than anticipated. Also, last time I hit three sets of five reps on military presses, I hit 115 for all three sets. Today, I hit 120 for the first, went down to 115 since I had to strain a little. 115 felt easy, so I went back to 120 and got it.

Next, my CGBP was the same weight, but last week hit 6,7,6 rep wise, today was 8,7,6. Dips also increased by three reps total over the three sets. Either I lost weight or I am a little stronger. I will go with the latter given how I was able to increase weight and/or reps.

Today is day five. Normally I would say it is too soon for a product to kick in, but the number of reps I was able to increase by from last week was a touch higher than normal. It is nothing abnormally high, but a little higher. Can't say I've noticed anything else, besides the above.

I have an app for a screen filter. It's not that going on my phone screws up my sleep, but it just takes away from it. I can go to bed right after, but I can take away 20-45 minutes away from sleep.

Pull Hypertrophy


Nothing exciting today. I went with the same weight as I used last time I went with a 6x10 for pulldowns. I was only able to complete the first four sets. I could have stayed with the same weight, but I would have needed to rest longer and have mini rest intra set by taking some time between each rep. I went against that and dropped the weight.

At the end of the session, I tried out the Hoist Pulldown machine. I liked it, I felt a good contraction. I think I am going to switch to this for a bit now as well. Hit some abs after and I have heavy squats tomorrow. I'll probably train with 98 mg of caffeine.

I was pretty satisfied with today's session. Hip thrusts felt almost effortless and I seemed to breeze through today's session. Squats were a little tough, but I was able to grind through them. After my session, I basically had to power walk home since it looked like it was going to rain. I didn't bring an umbrella and didn't want to get caught in it, if it did rain. It did not though.

Push Hypertrophy


Weight - 155

Weight is down 1.8 pounds this week. I don't know why there was such a big drop. Calories were the same as the previous week and weight did not change. I am not going to increase calories this week. I have been walking to them gym everyday I train, it is two miles round trip. Since school is going to start back up in a few weeks, I will not be walking to the gym, except for Saturday mornings. I am going to drop one day of walking to the gym each week starting this week. This will help save some cals. I will re-asses next week.

Training was good today. Last time I did 7x8 on incline dumbbell presses, I hit 60 pounds, but only for six sets. On the seventh, I had to drop to 55. Today, I was able to complete all seven sets and my rest periods were spot on. I am also 5.8 pound under from when I last did that 7x8. I also was able to go heavier by ten pounds and five pounds on the seated dumbbell press from last time.

One week in and I am down 1.8 pounds. A little odd, but oh well. In comparison to last week, lifts went up some, but nothing that is abnormal. With the weight loss, I am surprised that my pushing strength went up since that is usually the first to go. I noticed that recovery might be slightly improved. I will monitor this closely. Strength, I'm still up in the air about. My skin seems to be more dry, not at the application sites, but my face which is usually oily in the summer. Vasculairty is also improved some. I trained legs yesterday, but more arms and forearms were very vascular, pretty much all day for some reason.

I know I said yesterday I was not going to up calories since I am reducing walking to the gym by one day, but I do think I need to ad something on top of it. I will add 25 calories to each low carb day. My two lifting low carb days, I will add those calories in the form of carbs and my off day, will be in fats.

I was able to hit a higher weight on this week's 8x2 compared to the last time, despite being almost six pounds lighter. I am going to put all eight sets from the last time in a quote under what I did this week. All accessory lifts were up in weight and/or reps this week as well.

Nothing really of note. Had to do a lot of stuff today. Renewed my drivers license, even though it isn't up until October 4. I just didn't know if I would be able to get to the DMV during the school year. I had a Groupon for a deep tissue massage and I ended up signing a monthly membership. The lady was very good. She was stretching me out as well. She really focused on the insertion points as well. She suggested I see another guy next time since he specializes in trigger point therapy.

Some Andorcrine notes. My hamstrings were not nearly as tired as they normally were yesterday. Normally after heavy squatting, I feel them when I deadlift. I did feel them occasionally yesterday, but it was very minimal. Today, my lower back was not sore at all. Normally it is a little tender after heavy deadlifts. It was a touch tight, but nothing like usual.

Push Power


Another epic push session today. I am really surprised how well these days have been going, especially since I have lost some weight. Pushing exercises are the last movements for my strength to increase and are the first to decrease when I lose weight.

My top set for bench was supposed to be 204, I can't do that obviously, so I went to 205. The reps were smooth. I don't want to say easy, but they moved smoothly. Also, last time I did a 5x3 on my military presses, I only hit 125 for the first two sets, then had to decrease the weight. Not only was I able to complete all five sets at 125 for three reps, but on the lst set, I hit four reps. I was thinking of going up to 130 for that set, but I did not want to arch my back.

Pull Hypertrophy


Nothing exciting today. I decided to use the Hoist Pulldown Machine instead of doing cable pulldowns. I felt like I was able to pull through my elbows more and really perfect my form. Overall, I did not feel as fatigued after, but that is because I was able to use a nice weight and control it.

Lower Power


Good session today. I can't complain because last 8x2 squat day, I was able to hit 310 for my top set and did so again today at a lower body weight. I'm a little dissapointed because before the weght loss over the summer, I was a little stronger with squats. It's odd though because all my other leg movements are going up in weight and my pushing exercises are increasing as well. I think the more I remove walking to them gym, my legs will get back to normal.

I was able to go 10 and 15 pounds heavier than I anticipated on pasued squats which was a nice surprise. Hip thrusts also seemed very easy today. I had an epic pump in my glutes.

My upcoming week is supposed to be a deload which, followed by a meax out week. However, I addressed what I was going to do about five weeks ago when I maxed out. That will be in my next post.

Here is what I am doing.

I stated about four or five weeks ago that I thought maxing out every six weeks was not the best idea. I would be doing a deload week this week with a maxout next week. Instead, I am going to follow the programs again. I am going to use the same weights for all sets on squat, bench and deadlift. My goal is to either A. get more reps on the last set or B. be able to increase the weight on the last set. Then the week after my 8x2 will be deload followed by the maxout.

You Sir, are crushing it. Overall, how is the Androcrine treating you? Seems like you're enjoying it

Week 2 update.

Weight is back at 156.8, which it was att he start of the log. I don't know what attributed to the dramatic loss last week, ut it seems like things are back to normal, weight wise. Given I am the same weight and where my lifts have gone in the past two weeks since using Androcrine, I cannot say I am ecstatic about how my lifts have progressed, but I do think they are a little better than they would be given the same scenario not using Androcrine.

In terms of body composition, it seems like it has improved. I know I am more vascular throughout the whole day than I would be without it. Another note is that libido seems to be up some. Often when I wake up in the middle of the night, I am excited, if you know what I mean.

Two weeks in, I would say Androcrine is good for body composition and libido. Strength is suspect, but repeating my lifting cycle over the next two weeks will be the true test.

I am a little worried, though. Even at 6 pumps per day, it should last a month. The bottle feels so light, I don't know if there is enough in there.

My bottle lasted me about 22 days at 6 per day. (2 days I went to 8 pumps)

Push Hypertrophy


Weight - 156.8

Weight is back at 156.8, which it was for the two or three weeks prior to last week. I don't know what happened last week, but I'm glad it stabilized back to normal. Training session was good this day. Last time I did 8x6 on incline dumbbell press, I hit 65 for all sets. I was able to hit 70 for two sets, which is an improvement. All other lifts went up, slight in reps or in weight.

I cannot wait for this heat wave to break tonight. The real feel here has been around 105-111 for the past four days.I also had my first FitJoy bar today. Look for a review later in the week. I will try to get it up sooner, but I have two public school interviews this week that I need to prep for.

Pull Power


If you missed my post Saturday, this week was supposed to be a deload. Instead, I am re-visiting the weights I used on the big three last time aroud but I am aiming for the same weight with more reps on the last set or an increase in weight.

Last 5x5, I hit 340 for my top set which is 80% of my 1RM. I was anticipating on going for more reps with that, but I felt good. I went to 345 instead and hi five and it was pretty smooth. I think I could have gotten a sixth, but it would have taken me pretty close to complete failure, which I wanted to avoid.
