Not as much as my girl wants... seems I can't get my test levels back to normal naturally so I'm looking at alternate methods.

Hmm Pitboss, go over to t-mag.com and ask them or look over their articles, I'm sure they have some ideas on how you might address low testosterone levels. Their Tribex product is supposed to do that... though I'm lately skeptical of all suppliments.

Yeah, if its legal and readily available

Good luck on that issue... Are you SURE its test and not just difficulty getting it up?

I'm pretty sure. In my 35 years... 22 years of which I have been a walking hard on I have never had this problem, drunk or sober!

I can get it up. It just wasn't wanting to cooperate and stay up. But I figure the daily beatings are starting to work.. LOL

I'm pretty damn sure its Deca, if it was Test then you'd not have a desire for sex because of low test, I blame Deca, again this is why the 2:1 or even greater 2.5:1 ratio test-deca, or some who still say it causes them problems, either losing hair, lack of hard on etc

Trash Deca!

Mudge how old are you??

Nevermind. Checked your profile.

When you are 35 you will see one major advantage of Deca. It makes the joints not squek!! My knees, and shoulders never felt better!!!!!!!!

Up the test

My left elbow bothers me under extended heavy workouts, and my knees used to act up from time to time, so I get your point.

I think I'll go with BustingOut's recommendation. 100mg a week Deca, much more less than the 300 I did last time. Then 500mg Enanthate a week with 100mg EQ every 3rd day. Also will still add in the HCG mid cycle and also post cycle. Plan on starting this October 1.

Well week 2 is done. I guessed what weights I was going to use for todays leg workout and I was pretty damn close. By the next cycle I should be able to get the first set in with the right w8.

The first week was heavy, wish I had a partner to spot as I know I could have lifted more. The second week was killer over all, especially legs. I haven't been this sore in a long time. Chst is still really tight from Wednesday or was it Tuesday?? Either way this week was definately felt through my whole body.

Next week, starting on Monday is shock week. eeek if I'm so now just think what I'll be like next week!!! Time to up the
L-Glutamine!!!

Oh Jesus my legs hurt!!!!! I almost fell out of bed this morning. Then stupid me decided to "walk" down the stairs. That almost turned into a few broken bones. Then I crawled back upstairs LOL.

Oh the pain...... oh how sweet it is!!!!!!

Okay it's time for the "shock" week. I'm already not liking this.. lol

I'll just post all workouts/days on this one post and come back and edit as each day happens.

I need it!!!! My legs are so f'n sore!!! Then I helped move Amanda today. I made about 25-30 trips up and down 2 flights of stairs!! I hate legs!!!!!!!!!

Well the good thing about super sets and drop sets is that my workouts last about 45 minutes or less. My only problem is I find that I can keep up!!!! LOL

Yeah, shock week can be a real bitch!!!!! I love the PAIN!!!!!!!!

Well my chest was definatlely more sore/tight after the second week compared to the third. But I do love this workout variation. I had forgotten what it was like to do drop sets and super sets. Hell it's probably been about 13 years since I last had them in a workout routine.

Thanks again for such a great post in the training forum GoPro. Sorry I had to chaneg thigs up a little.. or in some cases skip a couple of exersizes.

Decided to go to the gym after work today.. 3am. Only took 30 minutes or was that 25??? Anyhow lots of energy but no real strength. I know I could have gone 5 to 10 pounds heavier on every single exercise but just didn't have it in me. The workout overall though felt okay.

Might try to hit legs tonight (Friday) but that depends on how well I sleep and eat today. If not I won't be able to get to legs until Tuesday. Not looking forward to leg day at all!!!

I am looking forward to heavy week again. I may be a little optimistic but I really thing my weights will go up 5 to 10 pounds on a lot of the sets. More on the ones I know I was going too light on the first week.

One other thing. Not sure if it's been my eating or the workouts but over the past 2.5 weeks I have actually started to get tighter. My back, shoulders, chest and especially my arms are leaner and with alot more definition.
