Highpockets 1-Andro Rx log

So are the 1600 calories only on workout days & eating more on off days?

Even on off days I'm well below maintenance. I'm on a hard cut right now, trying to get rid of the last bit of belly fat. Actually, I have no real profound reason for this extreme of a cut, I just want to see if I can do it at my age.

The 1600 calories I consumed the other day was my lowest for quite some time. I'm usually a little higher than that. I'm not quite sure why I tend to eat a little less on workout days. It's not intentional! I usually go to the gym around 5:00pm and by the time I get home, it's almost 7:00. After a PWO shake on my way home, I have a small dinner, then another shake before bed. Sometimes I'm just too tired to eat much. Check back after a bit and I'll have yesterday's consumption up along with my leg workout. I'm sure my calories were up a bit yesterday.
 
March 25th workout:

Pre-workout wieght 244 lbs.

Had my leg workout last night. I've always been somewhat of a hard gainer when it comes to my legs. My hams are pretty big, but my quads seem to suffer although they are getting bigger!

- Leg extension...3 x 10, 110 lbs. (Extensions put stress on my knee joints, so I perform these in slow motion. Not super slow, but 2 to 2.5 seconds.)
- Hack squat...3 x 12, 388 lbs.
- One legged leg press...3 x 15, 130 lbs. (I suck at these)
- Stiff deadlift...3 x 10, 225 lbs. (I performed these on a Reebok step to get a good stretch on the hams.)
- Seated leg curl...2 x 10, 190 lbs.

Session went well. My legs were shaky after the workout and pretty pumped.

Consumption for the day:

Total Calories, 2,027
Fat 59.6 grams, 27%
Carbs 161.5 grams, 32%
Protein 190.8 grams, 41%
 
March 26th workout:

Pre-workout weight 245.8 lbs. (Had a bunch of fish before my workout!)

Everything has been going along quite well. I'm becoming more defined and feeling stronger.

I'm in my 'Rep Range' week of P/RR/S cycle. This is the week that I like the least and the workout (arms) that I like the least, but I must continue as scheduled because this program has worked for me so far. I prefer lower rep ranges and compound movements!

- Alternating dumbell curl...3 x 8, 40 lbs.
- Cable curl...2 x 10, 25 lbs. (I perform these very slowly)
- Concentration curl...2 x 12, 20 lbs.
- Weighted dip...3 x 8, body weight (done slowly)
- Pushdown...3 x 10, 70 lbs.
- Kickback...2 x 12, 40 lbs.

The workout went well! I didn't get to the gym until late, so I was practically by myself (just the way I like it) and finished the workout without interruptions.

I supplemented (pre-workout) once again with N.O. Explode. This was my fourth or fifth time using this supplement and to date my opinion is not very high for this stuff. My main beef is that I do not get the mental focus that I do with Superpump 250 and the feeling that I can lift the entire gym. I will continue using this stuff though until it is finished or maybe given away.

The 1-Andro Rx, in my opinion is working very well. I feel stronger all day long, not just in the gym. I continue to wake up in the morning feeling tight and full in the muscles. It's a good tight like I'm growing, not a sore tight. Even though I'm cutting, I'm not losing a bunch of weight, just leaning up. I've had Built check out my diet because I thought since I wasn't losing more weight I might be eating incorrectly, but she gave me the thumbs up. I conclude that I'm leaning up, because my pants continue to get bigger and I'm receiving more and more compliments everyday at the gym.

I had a craving for fish yesterday and ate a ton! Thus my protein jumped up to about what it should be!

I'm off tonight (Friday) and will work chest/deltoids Saturday in the first day of my Shock week in P/RR/S.

Talk to you soon!
 
March 28th workout:

Pre-workout weight 246.7 lbs.

I started my Shock Week in P/RR/S and had my chest/delts session this morning.

- Superset...cable crossover/incline smith press...2 x 10 reps each, 35/185 lbs.
- Superset...incline flye/dips...2 x 10 reps each, 45 lbs/body weight
- Dropset...bench press...2 x 10, drop 8, drop 8, 205/185/135 lbs.
- Seated side lateral/hammer machine press superset...2 x 10, 25/130 lbs.
- Reverse pec deck/WG upright row superset...2 x 10, 145/95 lbs.
- Cable front raise dropset...2 8, drop 8, drop 8, 15/10/5

I had a very good workout with an incredible feeling of fullness. I did not struggle with any of the weights except when I got to cable front raises. I was pretty spent by this time, but I finished everything. In addition I really had to squeeze out the last rep on my bench drop sets. These supersets make your muscles feel like exploding!

I had a great night of sleep last night after seeing the Spartans come from behind to eliminate the Jayhawks.:ohyeah: My body feels like it has been recovering a little quicker as of late.

I'm still on 600mg/day of the 1-Andro Rx, with absolutely no side effects! I supplemented once again with the N.O. Explode and for the first time since adding this, I felt like I had decent focus. All other supplementation has stayed the same.

I continue to remain right around 245 lbs. body weight, however I can tell my waist is shrinking as I'm now on the last hole of my belt and my 40x36 jeans are too big for me. I guess I'm just going to have to leave them in the dryer longer! But then they'll probably be too short, leaving me look like a really fit old nerd!

I'm going to have to get more protein in my body today!

Sunday, I play basketball, Monday I'm off and Tuesday I have legs, so I'll talk with you again on Wednesday!
 
Hi all! Thought I would just update the thread quickly so as not to alarm anyone in regards to any disappearing act.

I had Saturday off, played basketball with my all of the usual suspects on Sunday afternoon and took Monday off as well. I can already tell my that my body really appreciated the 3 days away from the gym.

I was going to do legs tonight, but March Madness must have had the Sunday afternoon group into high gear, because we ran up and down hard for 2 solid hours and my knees are still feeling it, so I'm swapping legs for back/bis tonight. Legs will get hit tomorrow.

Still consuming 600mg/day of 1-Andro Rx and I'm feeling good. Definition is certainly improving and my core seems much tighter. Shirts are a bit tighter also!

Talk with you tomorrow!
 
how long do you have left of the 1-Andro Rx?

This Friday, April 3rd, will be my third full week. I plan on running for a 6 week cycle.

Week one I took 300mg/day. Week two and three I've been on 600mg/day. Absolutely no side effects and I'm more defined and stronger. There have been no mood swings, nervousness or agitation. All in all, I'm really liking Prince's new PH!
 
looking good highpockets.
are you going to continue to log through your pct?

Absolutely!!! I'll log the next 3 weeks and well into my PCT. I am just as anxious as everyone else to see how my gains are retained. I feel like I'm really getting into a groove with this cycle. I'm focused, happy and healthy. I've been following Gopro's P/RR/S 9 week lifting cycle as close to his original plan as I can.

Like I said in the previous post, I know I'm more defined and I feel stronger, but the real test will be coming up next week. Next week will be my 4 th week of 1-Andro Rx, but my first week repeating my power week of P/RR/S while on this PH. Power week is my favorite week! Heavy weights and low reps!

I'll be getting back to you all with yesterday's workout and diet as soon as I finish in fitday. See ya soon!
 
March 31st workout:

Pre-workout body weight 243.4 lbs!!! Still dropping, YEA!!!!

After a 3 day break, I was back in the gym for my Back night of Shock week in my P/RR/S cycle. Tuesday nights are a mess at are gym. Numerous 'Body Shaping' classes and a bunch of people trying to shed a few more pounds before Spring Break, (Hope they don't return after break!). I arrived to the gym around 5:30pm to find bars with weights resting on benches and dumbbells laying all over the floor. This immediately pissed me off. I don't care if someone is between sets, but these folks were done and just didn't return the weights to their proper place. Soooo, I became the gym Nazi for a minute and got on some of the younger kids that violated my neat freak persona. Most of these kids look up to me (literally, I'm 6'8") and because of my age, so even though I was pissed I gently explained to them that this was dangerous instead of letting them feel my anger. All was restored and the spike of anger helped me get motivated.

- Pullover/WG T-bar row superset...3 x 10 each, 65 DB/180 lbs.
- Stiff arm pulldown/WG pulldown superset...3 x 10 each, 70/160 lbs.
- CG seated pully row dropset...1 x 8, drop, 8, drop, 8, 180/160/140 lbs.

I was feeling pretty good and since I was already pulling, I decided to throw in some bicep work.

- EZ bar curl/CG chin superset...2 x 10 each, 95 lbs/body weight
- Preacher curl/reverse curl superset...2 x 10 each, 125/70 lbs.
- Dropset cable single arm curl...2 x 10, drop 10, 20/10 lbs.

I have to tell you, I was sucking wind by the time I was done with this! During Shock week, you only rest between sets long enough to recover your wind, so when done correctly this just kicks my butt. It was a good kicking though and I felt super pumped and strong. My veins were popping out all over my arms and shoulders.

I thought I ate more protein than I ended up calculating for so I need to address this. Having a bunch of errands to run today, I brought my shaker cup, protein powder, jug of water and a couple of cans of tuna with me.

Leg night tonight!!! I'll be glad when Shock week is over. If you haven't read Gopro's stickie on P/RR/S basics and then P/RR/S advance techniques, take some time and check this out. You'll see why I'll be glad when Shock week is over. It makes your muscles scream!

O.K., so even the best laid out plans can get FUBARed! I was all set to work legs last night, then the kids got home from school. All three of them had tests today and tomorrow since next week is Spring Break. They wanted me to help them study, so there went my gym time. No biggy, family comes first!

On top of that they wanted some fuel to help them study, so they asked for pizza! There goes my macros. I wasn't going to eat any, but the smell over took my senses and I broke down for a couple of slices of thin pepperoni and sausage. We had a good time and they're prepared to ace everything I think.

Leg night tonight is now the plan!

Everytime I see your avi it makes me sad.. this poor man looks soo sad and weak and the last thing he wants to do is lift :(

Well, that's just the way I never want to feel so it keeps me motivated. You only feel as old as you allow yourself to feel! ;)
 
April 2nd workout:

Pre-workout weight 243 lbs.

Finally got to the gym for my leg workout during Shock week of P/RR/S cycle. Everyone must have left town early for Spring Break because the gym was empty. :ohyeah:

- Superset: leg extension/squat...2 x 10 each, 130/225 lbs.
- Superset: leg extension/leg press...2 x 10 each, 130/388 lbs.
- Superset: leg curl seated/toes pointed hyperextension...2 x 10 each, 110/110 lbs.
- Dropset: single leg curl...2 x 10, drop, 10, 90/50 lbs.
Calves
Abs
15 minutes of light cardio, walking uphill on treadmill

All lifts were accomplished with very little rest between sets. The 1-Andro Rx must really be kicking in because my legs felt great, strong! My knees were still a little tender from playing basketball last Sunday and the wet weather we have been having here in Northern Indiana hasn't helped either.

I noticed that the weight went up very easy on leg extensions even though this exercise stresses my knee joints. I could have easily done more weight on the leg presses (hack squats). Hopefully my legs start adding some mass, but I have always been a hard gainer when it comes to leg mass.

My core continues to improve also. I feel really tight around the waist area and I've noticed that my middle aged pouch continues to shrink.

I'm 3 weeks into my 1-Andro Rx 6 week cycle and I couldn't be happier to date. I've seen no side effects, continue to sleep great and feel much stronger. Even though I continue to lose weight, I see no loss of muscle mass.

Tonight I superset my arms. In my Tuesday workout, Wednesday post you will notice that I incorporated Bi's with my back since I was already pulling, but my Bi's have always lagged behind my Tri's, so since I have had two full days of rest on my upper body I'm going to hit my Bi's again tonight. Usually the P/RR/S superset on arms calls for supersets of Tricep exercises and then Bicep exercises, but to change things up a little, I'm going to superset Tri's/Bi's together. For example CG chin/Dips, EZ bar curl/Pushdown, CG bench press/Incline overhead extension.

I'll report back again tomorrow!

Very cool.

How would you compare this product overall with others you've used in the past?
 
Very cool.

How would you compare this product overall with others you've used in the past?

The only other product that I have used in the past that would be close to a PH is LG Science 1-Methyl 1-D stacked with 1-Methyl Masterdrol liquid. I did see some strength gains with this product, but nothing like what I have seen with 1-Andro Rx. In addition, the 1-Andro has leaned my body up while adding some lean muscle.

From what I have read on the internet about LG Science products listed above, they really aren't anything other than DHEA.

I would recommend to anyone that has used LG Science products and liked them, to give Prince's new PH a try!

April 3rd workout:

Pre-workout body weight 242.8 lbs.

As mentioned in my Friday morning post I did super sets on arms Friday night during Shock week of my P/RR/S lifting cycle. Everything went very well and I felt extremely strong. I probably did a few more sets than I should have, but I just didn't feel like stopping. I need to watch this closely though as I do not want to overtrain. Saturday morning I got up and felt great with no soreness.

CG bench press, 1 x 5, 225 lbs., 1 x 7, 205 lbs., 1 x 10, 185 lbs./ super set with EZ bar curls 3 x 10, 95 lbs.
Reverse grip pushdown/Reverse curl 3 x 10, 70/75 lbs.
CG chin-ups/Dips 2 x 10, Body weight (I'm breezing through these so I'm going to incorporate some weights in a backpack next time).
Preacher curls/Rope pushdowns 2 x 10, 110/60 lbs.

Tonight (Monday) I begin my Power week in P/RR/S and I have already went through my routine on paper, adding weight to my chest/delt workout that I will be shooting for. It should be interesting.

I forgot to track my consumption of food over the weekend. I went steelhead fishing all day yesterday (Sunday) and I ate very little as I was on the river all day. We fish hard, taking advantage of our time on the water and usually do not take time for food. By the way for you fishermen out there, the fish were thick, but finicky. I did catch an 8 lb female full of spawn so we used some fresh spawn, had a number of hookups, but got broke off. I ended the day with two 8 pounders. Fresh trout on the grill tonight!
 
Tonight (Monday) I begin my Power week in P/RR/S and I have already went through my routine on paper, adding weight to my chest/delt workout that I will be shooting for. It should be interesting.

On further contemplation I'm posting my goals for tonights chest/delt workout with the idea that If I know my routine is posted here I might just work a little harder to get'er done!

The first weight is what I accomplished last time (LT) during my Power week of chest/delts and the second weight will be my goal (G) for tonight:

Chest:
Dumbell bench press 3 x 4-6, LT 90/G 100 lbs. (Will depend on who is at the gym to give me a spot)
Incline BB press 3 x 4-6, LT 185/G 205 lbs.
Weighted Dips 2 x 4-6, LT body weight/G BW + 35 lbs.

Delts:
Military Press 3 x 4-6, LT 135/Goal, I'm changing from Military Press and incorporating Hang, Clean and Press here (I read Built's blog on shoulders) so I'll start with 135 for the first set and a goal of 155 lbs for the last 2 sets.
Upright row 3 x 6, LT 95/G 110 lbs.
Lateral raises 2 x 6, LT 25/G 30 lbs.

I'll let you all know how it goes later tonight!
 
April 6th workout:

Pre-workout body weight, 243 lbs. right on the nose.

One of the things about training with weights that I enjoy so much is the variety of the sport. There is a plethora of information available on this subject, (Nothing that you all don't know I guess), and I really just enjoy reading and learning as much as possible on training techniques and philosophies and then putting them into action. Yesterday, for example, I had some free time so I was searching the forum and came along Built's website. I've been there before but never really had the time to read as much as I had wanted. Yesterday I think I read almost everything, including some ideas on shoulder workouts. WOW!!! This idea continued later below....

I was pumped to get to the gym yesterday as it's Power week in P/RR/S! I downed some N.O. Explode an hour before and was primed to go. After warming up however, I just didn't feel like I had the energy and power that I was looking for to move into the next plateau. I was surprised though!

In yesterday's last post, you'll notice that I set goals for the evening workout and I ended up switching a couple of exercises. Now, I could just lie and tell you that I achieved all of those goals or even exceeded them, but I would only be cheating myself!. So her we go!

- Dumbell bench press...3 x 6, 95 lbs. Goal Achieved
- Incline press...3 x 6, 205 lbs. Goal Achieved
- Weighted dips...3 x 6, BW + 35 lbs. Goal Achieved (could have added more)
- Hang, Clean & Press...3 x 6, 1 set @ 115, 2 sets @ 135 lbs. Goal not met. (I have never done this exercise before and like I said above, WOW! I'm in love with this compound movement already. I wasn't sure how much weight I would be able to manage in setting the goal and wanted to make sure my form was correct. Man can I feel this today!)
- Corner BB seated one arm press...3 x 6, 70 lbs. in plates plus whatever resistance the bar might be on an angle from the floor (not sure how to calculate this). Anyway, WOW again! I had not set a goal for this.
- Seated side lateral...3 x 6, 25 lbs. Goal not met. By the time I got to these I was completely spent.
-Abs

All in all the workout went very well and I can tell the 1-Andro Rx has definitely helped my strength, especially in pushing through the last few reps.
For example, even though I didn't feel that explosive strength that you feel sometimes, the weights just kept going up. With the DB bench presses as an example, the toughest thing sometimes is getting the weight in position as you control the DB's laying down on the bench. I was a bit wobbly at times, but once I started the push, I felt like I could have done 100 lbs. My spotter was different than usual, but he did a good job in assisting me getting back up to a sitting position. The entire workout was great, especially everything up until the Hang, Clean and Presses. These went well in my opinion it was just that I had never done them and did not know what to expect. They really tax the body, but that's what I like.

At times it's difficult to tell if I'm are really making gains (visually) because I see my body everyday. Plus I'm one of those that is never happy and want to be bigger and more defined all the time. Yesterday, however, another lifter at our gym who is a Nationally acclaimed power lifter in the senior division, and who I haven't seen in a couple of months came in to workout. He commented to me that I really look good, much bigger and getting cut up. He asked me what program I was using and I told him about P/RR/S. He volunteers with our high school football team as a strength coach and wants to implement this for the team. I'm meeting him at the gym again tonight with the program print out. This type of motivation is especially helpful, when someone else sees your gains and comments! I also told him about 1-Andro Rx and he is interested to learn more about Prince's new PH for himself, NOT the footballers!

April 7th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 241.2 lbs.

Worked legs tonight in my P/RR/S Power week. Felt really strong. I have to believe that the 1-Andro Rx is beneficial because my weight load increased considerably for this session and on most of the reps I probably could have gone even a bit heavier.

You may notice that I did not set goals for this workout because I did not want to under estimate. I know my leg strength has increased so I wanted to just get to the gym and start loading plates, do a couple of reps as a warm-up until I reached the weight I felt I could achieve 6 reps.

Once again I'm posting the weight worked with Last Time (LT) and the weight I worked out with This Time (TT) so you can see my progress.

- Stretch and warm up
- Squats...3 x 6, LT 185 lbs. - TT 245 lbs. (60 lb increase)
- Leg press...3 x 6, LT 478 lbs. - TT 478 lbs. (no change)
- Single leg extension...3 x 6, LT 50 lbs. - TT 70 lbs. (20 lb increase)
- Seated leg curl...3 x 6, LT 170 lbs. - TT 210 lbs. (40 lb increase)
- Stiff deadlift...3 x 6, LT 250 lbs. - TT 275 lbs. (25 lb increase)

The leg press remained the same due to the fact that the squats were pretty taxing on my knees. All in all the whole workout was a good one and I was pretty happy.

I'm still on 600mg/day on 1-Andro Rx with absolutely no negative side effects. I was pleasantly surprised to see my body weight continue to drop especially since I felt like I ate my ass off the night before. My appetite was the same last night after this workout. I was starving when I got home and had a bunch of turkey fillets, kidney bean salad and natural plain yogurt. My core feels really good as well as the rest of my body.

great journal Pockets! :thumb: A couple things

The No-Xplode/Superpump thing - I've tried them both and currently take the No Xplode. But in my opinion, Super Pump is the bomb.. my system just couldn't take it for some reason, but I thought that was the best pre-workout drink I've ever had so far.

Pizza... ahhhh... hard to resist when it's sitting on the counter... :D

Thanks for the thumb up!

In regards to the N.O. products, I'm definitely disappointed in BSN's N.O.-Xplode. I understand that supplements react and consumers respond in many different ways, but I just don't get much from the Xplode. I have also been told by other nitric oxide users at my gym that they never get the stimuli from these products that they got the very first time they used them. Maybe they're not cycling them, I don't know. I haven't had this happen to me especially with Superpump. Furthermore, I do not consider N.O. products as one of my 'must have' supplements. I only purchase them when I have a little extra cash and can find a good deal. Only using them when I can afford them also causes me to cycle on and off, so every time I've used Superpump 250, I've noticed great focus and energy.

The next time I have some extra funds, I'm going to try Ironmaglabs Nitro 4.
 
April 8th workout:

I was off yesterday, so I rested and didn't do squat. I think maybe I should have gone for a walk or something though, because my appetite went crazy. I'm blowing it off to a cheat day and won't worry about it. Consumption is listed below.

The one thing I have really benefited from using P/RR/S is the fact that this routine really keeps your body guessing. I usually do not have DOMS set in until the second day after a workout, so I thought that today (Thursday) I would wake with some soreness from my Tuesday night leg workout in which I increased weight considerably in all but one exercise. No soreness at all in the legs or glutes today. Could be because I'm a big believer in the foam roller and use it everyday, I don't know. The one area that I am experiencing DOMS are my shoulders from my Monday night workout. I incorporated Hangs/Cleans/Presses and One Arm Corner Oly Bar Presses. I really like these new movements and will continue using them, but oh man my shoulders are killing me. I did not lift heavy with these new movements and paid strict attention to form since they were new to me, so I'm pretty sure the soreness is from hitting the muscles from a different perspective, which is good!

I have Back tonight in my Power week of P/RR/S. Once again I will post my lifts last time (LT) and my goals (G) for tonight.

- Rack deadlift...3 x 6, LT 315 / G 335 lbs.
- T-Bar row...3 x 6, LT 180 / 205 lbs.
- Weighted chin...3 x 6, LT BW / G BW+25 lbs.
- CG seated row...3 x 4, LT 220 / G 230 lbs.

During the day I had 4 slices of whole grain bread instead of my usual 2 slices, and for dinner along with 2 good size fillets of steamed white fish, I had a huge helping of wild rice with northern white beans and salsa all mixed together. It was good, but skewed my macros!

Talk to you tomorrow! Oh, by the way, my muscles feel as hard as granite!!!
 
April 9th workout:

Pre-workout body weight 243.2 lbs.

OK, something is going on in this middle-aged man's body and the only explanation I can come up with is 1-Andro Rx! I got to the gym last night around 6:30 pm and it was almost deserted. :ohyeah:

I stretched and used the foam roller for a bit before warming up. I did some very light work on the back, just to get the blood flowing before loading plates on the BB for my rack deadlifts. A few reps of 225 lbs. and a couple at 315 lbs. My goal was 3 x 6 at 335 lbs., but when I did the first rep I thought 'Holy Cats' that went up easy. Loaded plates to 365 lbs. and started my workout (remember LT=last time, G=goal and now AL=accomplished lift):

- Stretch and warm-up
- Rack deadlift...3 x 6, LT 315 / G 335 lbs. / AL 365 lbs. (50 lb. increase)
- T-Bar row...3 x 6, LT 180 / G 205 lbs. / AL 225 lbs. (45 lb. increase)
- Weighted chin...3 x 6, LT BW / G BW+25 lbs. / AL BW+25 lbs. (25 lb. increase)
- CG seated row...3 x 4, LT 220 / G 230 lbs / AL 220 lbs. (no change)

I was pretty spent by the time I got to the seated row and although I attempted 230 lbs. I couldn't get the Dorian Yates "Squeeze it man!", so I dropped to 220 lbs. to keep the form.

All in all, great workout and my back was fried.

Talk to you later!
 
April 11th workout:

Pre-workout weight 242.1 lbs.

Man was I sore from blasting my back on Thursday night. Every muscle in my back was screaming all weekend from adding the weight that I did last week, (see previous post). I even had trouble sleeping over the weekend. Not complaining though, just posting how I feel! I know that workout will resonate to some awesome muscle growth.

Saturday the gym was busy, but I got in a good arm workout without waiting on equipment.

- Barbell curl...3 x 6, 115 lbs. (10 lb increase)
- Preacher curl...3 x 6, 170 lbs. (same weight, but slowed tempo to keep muscle under tension longer)
- Hammer curl...2 x 6, 55 lbs. (same weight, slowed tempo)
- CG bench press...3 x 6, 225 lbs. (20 lb increase, 3x0x1 tempo, really concentrated on form)
- Skull crush...3 x 6, 90 lbs. (same weight, but really concentrated on keeping the elbows in and isolating the tris)
- Single arm dumbell extension...2 x 6, 50 lbs. (10 lb increase)

My arm workouts are my least favorite workouts. Just too much isolation when I greatly prefer compound movements.

My consumption over the weekend went to hell and I'm not even going to try and figure it out. I didn't over eat by any stretch. To the contrary, I under ate! I was steelhead fishing on the river again so I will blame this. The fishing wasn't much fun either, standing all day in a boat holding a rod, bottom bouncing the river with an aching back! The damn fish were rising all day long, but not one fish would take anything we threw at them.:mad:

I can tell I'm continuing to drop body fat and I'm getting stronger. The 1-Andro Rx is working just fine and I'm very happy with it. I also believe that I have lost a little muscle mass, but HEY I'm cutting what's a guy to expect? Definition is absolutely getting better especially in the shoulders!

This week I start Rep Range of P/RR/S and tonight I have chest/delts/abs.

Talk to you tomorrow!
