Hogg's IML Super 1-Andro log

[seabiscuit hogg]

First of all, thanks to macedog and IML for letting me log this.

I noticed the strength gains that I got on the front end of my Lean AF log and kinda figured the 1-andro had a lot to do with it. In the past I got crazy strength gains with other 1-andro products but the lethargy was kinda nasty. The 1-andro was only dosed at 50 mgs in the Lean AF and I got no lethargy. Anyway, I'm hoping 100 mgs will be better and still not cause lethargy. We'll see.

The main goal for me on this one is a big bench. I was all over the national record for my age before I tore my pec in 2020. Gonna try to get it back. I was really coming along on my last cycle and this should help a lot.

I will be starting this one Monday and will post more details tomorrow.

 

[seabiscuit hogg]

I still weigh 180. That was my goal in my last cut. This will be a lean gainer but I'm not going to try pack on a bunch of lbs. Mostly want to take lifts up.

PCT is pretty much over for me. I started TRT after the Lean AF. I used some lgd 4033 while waiting for my appointment to get my testosterone checked and gained a little strength back. Gonna throw that in this one.

I will be using 2 pumps of Super 1-Andro for 100 mgs ed. Also taking 50 oral pregnenolone and 25 mgs DHEA to hopefully help with the joints. I'm keeping the the lgd 4033 in also but only taking 10 mgs. This should be interesting.

I did my first two pumps of Super 1-Andro together today to test for lethargy. The struggle with the 10 X 10 squats had nothing to do with that. A little weaker after the deload and dieting down probably. It wasn't bad, I failed on rep 99.
I'll keep ot the same next time....well.maybe 😀

Did my one hour on recumbent bike today.
I outlined my training for this one.
Monday: leg day
Tuesday: recumbent bike
Wednesday: bench & bis
Thursday: delts & upright bike
Friday: back & tris

 

[seabiscuit hogg]

Good workout today. I might have had a little lethargy but wondering about the oral pregnenolone having a role in that. On trt this low I figured it will help my joint issues a bit. That seems to be working my knees aren't doing too bad after all those squats.

I should comment on how well the IML Super 1-Andro absorbs. Just put it on and you can put your clothes on like 5 minutes later. This is true of all the IML creams.

The Pause bench is to help my strength on the bottom of the movement and get my big freeweight bench back.

I missed training yesterday and today. We're kinda snowed in and live on top a hill with a one lane road. This is after we cleaned about four inches off the vehicles and stairs yesterday.

[seabiscuit hogg]

The snow is pretty much gone and and training is on!
I'm using the super 1-andro just like it says. One pump in the AM and one at night. There's no lethargy this way. Doing two pumps at a time don't work for me too much lethargy.
I was tempted to do international bench day but stuck to legs.

My legs are still sore from Monday. I think I'm going to do the pof leg training more. I did the the 2 grams of arginine akg that day and pumps where crazy when got to calves.
Training was good today also. I thinking strength is going keep going up as I go. I did the hour on the recombinant bike yesterday. Usually that helps leg soreness more but I guess those angles were quite effective. Here's today's.

I decided to just hit delts on Thursdays because I'm going to do POF training. There's more sets with this and doing cardio would be a bit much.

I had quit doing ohp because of having a bad click in my right shoulder. If I do them with a supinated grip(palms in) instead of pronated its not that bad. Started light and will work up. It's sad, I used to be really strong on these.

I had a separated shoulder when I was in the wreck and think it popped out and back in when I tore my pec. Might eventually see an osteopath but hate the idea of wearing a sling again.

I'm not really doing a ckd anymore. I eat a keto breakfast then take in some dextrose in my pre-workout. Postworkout I've eating a high protein carby meal. Upping muscle glycogen gives me better leverage for bigger lifts and that is the goal. I take ashwagandha with the keto meal because it helps with absorption of ursolic and oleanolic acid.

I think the pof training is going to help with that also. I fill out pretty fast training with the angles.

I think the 1-andro is going to be gold for this. Lifts are coming back pretty fast.

This wasn't an international chest day thing. I was snowed in again and managed to get to gym after the snow plow ran. My gym was closed tho so I had to go to Anytime fitness gym.
The racks were taken so I did the volume chest press thing. I failed on rep 99 again . Did a 5 rep with the 155 as a make up. I got really strong playing around with volume before we'll see. The 1-andro converts into 1 test and should help a lot. It has the same androgenicity as test and seems a bit more anabolic.

I got the 10 X 10 squats in today. Let's go Brandon!(haha couldn't resist)
I'm going to do 5 X 5 in the rack next week and see how the strength is.
I think the 1-andro will help with the heavy lifts also. This is going to be an interesting experiment.

I didn't get to lift yesterday because of all the snow and power failure. We have a baby in the house and nobody went anywhere with the power out. Had to combine the two workouts today but it went pretty good.
Monday is still going to be chest day because it will be a week from the last one and I'm itching to try 5 X 5 with 225.

Oh yeah, I did an hour on the bike Wednesday like always after leg day.

 

[Multislacking]

Oof....long workout!

 

[seabiscuit hogg]

I didn't mention it yesterday but I'm up to 186 lbs. The glycogen from going more carby might have something to do with but steady getting stronger also.

If I get the 5X5 on the bench Monday I'll pyramid the weights the next week to see where I'm at.

I like the 1-andro. The gains so far are lean and hard.

 

[seabiscuit hogg]

International chest day went as planned. I guess I will be doing the strength test next week.
Going to do 5X5 in the squat rack tomorrow and see where I'm at on those.
It's kinda sad that I can't do heavy deads good because I had the broken hips. It's awesome I can still do this tho.

I had a flat yesterday and one of the lugs was stripped so I ended up doing a buttload of of weighted vest deep squats at home.
My son-in-law did a plug on it today with it on. So I hit the gym. I got my full POF delt workout and the upright bike for 33 minutes with varying intensity. Legs were sore but not that bad.

The IML 1-andro is pretty good for lean gains, striations and vascularity. The lighting here doesn't catch the striations very well but you can see the veins a little better.

Instead of 235 X 5 X 5 on the Cybex bench I did 245 and got it. Next Monday I'll pyramid sets again and try to get 315 X 1 at the end. Should be able this time. The IML 1-andro works well for strength at this moderate dose. No lethargy either.

I had an idea that the 1-andro might work well for strength when I asked to do this log. It seems to be working well.

The crazy androgenicity some say 1-andro has isn't true. It's actually the same as regular test and doesn't aromatize so there's no estrogen issues.

Using it exactly as the directions on the bottle say seems to whip the lethargy thing.
Putting it in a stack would be gold. This isn't a review yet but I do like the IML 1-andro.
Anyway, I did an hour on hour on my recombinant bike yesterday and had a good delt workout today.

I'm in the last week of my IML Super 1-Andro run. Did legs yesterday and will do my regular recumbent post leg day bike thing today. I wish that I had done the squats in the rack sooner. The strength gains with this stuff are real.
