Need more protein...

My thoughts, views, and suggestions are purely that of my own and do not represent Palo Alto Labs.

Is anyone testing this product doing a high-cal bulk cycle? Gary, what are you hoping to gain from this cycle? If it's mass, I'd up your cals significantly overall (your carbs are currently at the daily average). If it's to cut/lose fat, cool, but, like Egodog said, up the protein intake. In my opinion, I wouldn't consume any less than 300g per day. Good luck, man. Hope you get the results you're looking for.

are you looking to lose weight or gain?
Mags, thanks for the good luck wish. I definitely agree that anyone trying to gain mass, should probably double the amount of calories and protein intake.
When I was in my prime (15-20 years ago) I weighed 235 pounds and had to eat 6000+ calories a day just to maintain my weight!
At this point in my life, I am not trying to lose or gain weight. Over the last 2-3 years, I cannot eat the amount of calories needed to gain muscle and not get fat! And by the way, I eat pretty clean.
I am happy if I can maintain my current muscle mass, although I would definitely welcome muscle mass gains; however, I haven't found a supplement yet that has allowed me to.
Gary
I'm in. Interested to see your gains with this caloric intake. Can I ask your current % bf? We're close to the same age btw and I'll be doing a cycle of this in a couple of months.
Hmmm, I don't know my body fat percentage right now, but I did have it tested about 4 years ago and it was 8.5%. I would suspect that is still in that range... likely a bit higher as I'm sure I'm not as lean now!
I should be finishing this cycle before you start yours - hope I can provide some positive feeback and results.
Day 3 of 42 (March 30, 2009)
1-ANDRO Rx™ PRO-HORMONE
OK, I know it's only been a couple of days since I started; however, I wanted to share that I am waking up about an hour before my regular wake up time and can't fall back asleep. This is not my normal sleep pattern.
The good news is that I am not tired when I wake up and feel well rested as my sleeping wasn't affected prior to waking up early. I also normally need to take a nap each day so we'll see what happens with that!
It appears that I may be needing less sleep so I am going to go to bed 1 hour later and see if I still wake up an hour early!
One note: I have taken other supplements that have messed with my sleep throughout the night; however, this is not the case at this time.

Day 8 of 42 (April 4, 2009)
1-ANDRO Rx™ PRO-HORMONE
Today is the beginning of the second week and I began taking 4 capsules per day, split into 3 occasions. So far no noticable change to workouts or strength. I understand that I should start to feel the effects around the 2nd week.
Regarding the sleeping topic I mentioned, I am sleeping well; however, going to bed an hour later didn't fix the problem of waking up about an hour early. I go to bed my normal time, but still wake up around an hour early, but well rested. So far it seems that I just need less sleep.
Not much more to post at this point...
Gary


yes, you should be feeling strength increases...
You need 3x as much fat as you are taking in.
Im not sure on the exact correlation but I know
sat. fat is needed for optimal test production/use/etc.
And the fact that you are only taking in ~2500 cals
At 200lbs is probably why you have not noticed much strength increases yet.
Day 12 of 42 (April 8, 2009)
1-ANDRO Rx™ PRO-HORMONE
I had a pretty good workout two days ago, but tonight I just had a tremendous workout. It's like a switch was turned on. I pretty much did 2-3 extra reps on every one of my sets using the same amount of weight as my last workout (I track all of my sets, reps, each workout and this does not ever happen.). I resisted the desire to raise the amount of weights as I plan to do on the next workout.
I also plan to increase my calories slightly if my future workout intensity continues as today... I have a good feeling they will!
Gary


makes sense, it's kicking in.
I am on my last 12 days and I too many times felt the switch being turned on. I have lifted several personal bests for me and my body has more shape and size than before. I did not consume enough cals to feel the total affect of this product and I am sure I will take a go at it again in 6 months and will be eating WAY more than I did for this one. My reps have increased and the amount of weight I have been dong for my back routines is insane for me.
So dont stop, stay on it and as other have said increase that caloric intake as I wished I would of looking back at it. Go ahead and grab that little bit of extra weight that you dont think you can do and see if you feel it then.

Sounds like you're experiencing the same effects! I do plan on increasing my caloric intake as my appetite has doubled in the last few days.
Thanks,
Gary
Day 16 of 42 (April 12, 2009)
1-ANDRO Rx™ PRO-HORMONE
So far, my intensity and strength has continued on all of my additional workouts. I have increased my caloric intake considerably as my appetite has doubled. I have also experienced an increaded libido. No other side effects other than waking up around an hour early, although I still slept well and not tired in the morning.
Gary


nice!
what is your dosage right now? At two weeks in I was up 4lbs and down 2% bf but I was Doing 600-800 mg i found 800 mg to be my sweet spot. I noticed changes within the first 7 days. Body changes which is pretty darn good at 7 days in. I think this product is almost in comparison to Anavar where you have to take the right dosage you take to little of a dose and its a waste. But that is just my opinon
Goodluck with your cycle.


Hmmm, I'm at 6 per day, which is the recommended max. I've gained about 3 pounds and lots of strength. I'll be posting more results after today's workout. So far the results have been incredible.
Prince, what's your thought on needing to take more than 600 mg as I am getting pretty good results right now?
Gary


OK, I think I'll try it!
The 800 club.
I too ran 800 for my next to last week. I didnt notice a big change inside the gym from 600mg/day. I did notice that I became more on the tired side and had some unwanted acne showing up. I went back down to 600 my last week and for me there seemed no true difference. I am also only 180lbs so 600 or 700 might be my bodies max. I also could of waited to long into the cycle to notice if 800 made a difference for me. I do plan on running this again in the future and while on a bulking cycle but will start week one with something like 500 then progress to 800 in week two or so.


wow, glad to hear all of the positive feedback, EVERY person that has reported back on this board and to me personally has ALL positive things to say about 1-Andro Rx!!!
Was wondering something; since I'm testing this also and I was following the dosing instructions I've been on 600mgs/day for a few weeks now. I have one week left in my 8 week cycle. I never thought about body weight when dosing. Since I weigh 242 lbs. should I up my dosage to 800mgs/day for the last week or just wait for the next cycle at this point?


sure.
wouldnt hurt thats for sure, but dont know how much it will help at this point. But hey you dont know till u try it.
