What's your plan while on this?

 

[ALBOB]

Pure strength. I'm gonna lift as heavy as I possibly can. If I keep my diet relatively clean that SHOULD mean I'll add some muscle mass and maybe lower my BF% in the process. The problem with that plan was the little tid bit about being 47 years old. Lifting heavy these days ain't what it was 10-15 years ago. I've got a repaired right knee and a right shoulder that needs to be repaired. Just gotta go slow and use ultra strict form.

ALBOB is back!

[ALBOB]

Albob... nice to see you man.

Thanks. Feels good to be back on a more structured program instead of just "winging it". Hopefully you'll see more of me if I can get some pics posted later in the week. Definitely want to do a before and after comparison. (Forewarning to all: No Sasquatch jokes. )

I can relate to the being older part. Good luck!

Okay...No Jokes.

So, what's your status old man?

 

[DaMayor]

On a serious note....enjoy this rare moment....

Any noteable changes in strength thus far? How does this product make you feel? Any side effects? changes in mood? any digestive discomfort? What's it doin' for ya?

Nothing, zip, nadda, nill, zilch, don't feel a damn thing. But I'm saying positive. From what I've read in other journals, the strength gains don't kick in for a week or so.

 

[DaMayor]

From the reviews I read, results are...as with most things...not immediate.
How about your level of "aggression?" and/or changes in mood? Anything there?...both seem to be a repeated terms in many reviews, as well as some acne.
The only thing that made me wonder if the results were skewed was all of the other crap these guys are combining with the Andro. Jeeze, how the hell are you going to know what the product is doing if you're popping ten other pills? Anyway, good luck...keep us posted.

 

[FMJ]

The only thing that made me wonder if the results were skewed was all of the other crap these guys are combining with the Andro.

Yep! I've seen those reviews too, as well as another who totally fudged all his numbers so the review was worthless!
I'm interested in your views of the product too Albob. I'm gonna tag along too if you don't mind.

 

[ALBOB]

Nope, most definitely don't mind folks coming along for the ride. I'd get lonely otherwise.

As far as mood/agression, not a thing. The only thing I've noticed so far was just this morning. It SEEMS like the DOMS from previous workouts go away faster. Yes, I realize that DOMS are not any kind of indicator as to a workout's effectiveness and they don't give a good indication of a muscle's state of recovery BUT, my DOMS have always been somewhat predictable. I get sore two days after working a muscle and that soreness lasts for two days. It's like clockwork. (Unlike the real DOMS. ) After working back and bis on Wednesday, my biceps felt a bit sore yesterday but are completely pain free today. Not really gonna read TOO much into that, just thought it was interesting.

Next workout is Sunday morning when I hit legs again. I'm psyching myself up now to make it an absolute ass kicking workout. Pray for me.

 

[DaMayor]

Hmm. Maybe the fact that not much has happened is actually a good sign.

Some people (not necessarily you) tend to look for results so intensely that I think they might create symptoms that might not exist otherwise. I mean, you have to consider dietary consistancy, interaction with other supps., stress level fluxuations....and just the fact that you're trying something new.

Fortunately, based on your brain wave function, I think you'll only be able to concentrate on one thing at a time, thereby minimizing other factors.

 

[FMJ]

While reading a review on another forum, members had asked how long before the stuff kicks in. Robert himself replied, 2 weeks. I dunno if that meant in the second week or after the second week.
Either way, you got a few more days minimum.

 

[ALBOB]

Yeah, in checking it out before I ordered I noticed that the two week number kept popping up. At that point most folks experienced fantastic strength gains. No worries, I'm patient. I think it comes from not being distracted by too many brain waves. (At least I have them. )

But on a more unpleasant note; I just got back from having my body fat checked. They used the electronic device and that thing HAD to be wrong. I'm currently at 25%.

Oh well, that's why I'm on this program to begin with.

 

[ALBOB]

Leg day

Leg press:

180 X 10
270 X 10
360 X 10
450 X 10
540 X 10
630 X 10
720 X 6
720 X 4

Squats:

135 X 10
135 X 10
225 X 10
315 X 2

Yep, did more reps with more weight this week but, not gonna read anything into that yet. It's literally been YEARS since I've done leg presses. I'm thinking my body may just be getting used to them again. I'm encouraged though because I'm pretty sure I had it in me to do an impressive drop set of squats. The only reason I didn't was that I felt a slight twinge in my repaired knee. Didn't want to push it too much and risk tearing it again. Will know more if strength increases again next week. Overall, felt great though. Felt very strong with good mental focus.

 

[ALBOB]

Brace yourselves.

OH MY GOD!! MY EYES! MY EYES!

So, on a serious note.....I think you've got some muscle to work with. No, that sounded fruity. Okay.....Uh.......LEAN MASS, yeah, there's some lean mass in there somewhere....No, .......Okay...traps and delts look solid. I think with a successful cut, you'll be way ahead of most guys our age. I'll let you know when I figure out the successful cut thing.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Arnold]

All bias aside, I have received countless POSITIVE feedback on 1-Andro Rx, I had a guy last week email me asking if it's normal to gain 5 pounds the first week on it, he was shocked. for most by the second week you should see the scale go up and your lifts go up.

 

[ALBOB]

I'm taking my age into account and not setting the bar too high. If I can increase my lifts by 10% I'll be happy. My ultimate goal is the get my body fat down to about 15%, but I know that won't happen in one month, no matter what I take. I'd like to see a little more definition by the end of this "cycle".

are you taking 6 caps ED right now? at your weight you might want to increase to 8 caps ED.
you should definitely see a cutting effect with 1-Andro Rx.

 

[ALBOB]

Yep, two tabs, three times per day. If I see halfway decent results on that I'll double my order next time and up the dosage to three tabs, three times per day. I'm patient and not planning on competing in this year's Mr. O so I'm gonna go ahead and stick with my current plan and see how things go. I don't like changing plans right in the middle. I'm old and set in my ways.

Jay Cutler and many others will be relieved that you're sitting out this year's Mr. O.

Oh, DaMayor's got Jay this year....little narrow bastard.

So, any new symptoms or side effects? Re: agression....I think you need to buy a razor and go after that chest rug aggressively.
