bader85 continues the journey with 1-Andro RX from IronMag Labs log

[bader85]

First off thanks to Stryker and IML choosing me to log and review 1-Andro RX. I've been looking at IML products for a while now and am honored I can try it out here on EF. Super fast getting me the product too.

So since the end of the contest, I've been building a bit more mass or at least trying to, getting a cup of oats in the morning and usually a sweet potato or brown rice in the evening pre-workout. Workouts tend to be at night, around 8 or 9PM. No cardio in mornings, but cardio after weights.

The last two weeks I started having serious allergies or so I thought, turned out strep throat or a variation of that, horrible swollen glands, bad cough, can't swallow. No fun. Took some antibiotics for a week, and feeling way better. Strength surprisingly still has kept going up with a few days off.

I got three bottles of 1-Andro, which can be used at 600/mg (6 caps) a day for four weeks. I've also see people ramping a little and seeing good results. Any suggestions on dosing? I was maybe thinking of 400/600/700/700 since it takes a week to start kicking in from what I've seen on logs. I'd like to start tomorrow, so any suggestions on this would be great.

Here's my stats again:
Age: 26
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 228 (feeling super bloated though, I assume from antibiotics)
Bodyfat: Around 15% atm.

This week I'm going to go for some max 3 or 5 reps on compounds as a starting base of the log and see the improvements. Currently I'm at 3000 calories a day (40/30/30 p/f/c), which is my BMR. However, on June 15th I'm going to drop to 2250 again at a calorie restriction for some cutting along with an extra cardio session a day. Will be interesting to see strength gains continue with 1-Andro.

I'll post more on diet/food intake and maybe make some vids if I can get my buddy to help film. I'll get starting photos up tomorrow.. hope I can get rid of some retained water beforehand, so I'll probably go steam and do some cardio in the morning.

I haven't decided entirely on following a workout routine. Right now my obvious goal is gaining strength while still dropping body-fat. What I basically do is one major compound movement for the body part I'm working (usually 5 working sets of 5 to failure), then 3-4 more isolated movements of that body part (3-5 workings sets to failure).

If anyone has some recommendations on this, I'm all ears.

Looks good bader....i'm in ! IDK much about this compound bro - so i cant help you with dosing.

 

[Stryker1992]

Three bottles! Geesh...way too generous...LOL! I would say the dosing looks okay. I usually go by how my body responds....You will have to see how the gains are coming versus any sides you may feel you are having...headache, fatigue, etc. I think with the Andro you should not really see this like you would a superdrol...

Best of luck my friend....

Wow.. looking at these photos..I'm definitely bigger in muscle mass since the end of the competition, but still am holding some water from being sick. Cut cut cutttt! Although I am enjoying the rather fullness and stretching out my shirts around the bicep and shoulder area.. hehe. I just love having more tricep definition.. this log is going to be awesome!

I started today! I think I will do the 4/6/7/7 unless someone states otherwise... if things are looking really good and I somehow manage to get some extra cash, I might buy some more and run it a little longer.. god bless non-methyls! An 8 week would be great.

I do have forma for AI as needed, as well as some natural test boosters and zma i'm taking throughout and fish oil are pretty much the only other supps at the moment.

For PCT, there wasn't any phytoserm in stock, so I got tropinol which uses bulbine natalensis, and I'll also use Erase to help out and still have forma.
