Mattborn00 taking on IML 4 andro

[mattborn00]

Well thanks to the guys on at ironmag labs I'm getting to run their 4 andro. This is my second PH run. First one was halo and was a nice run. Plan for this on will be a hard core recomp hopefully. OK now on to the plan of attack.
Plan of attack in the gym:
Will be running a hybrid systems with upper and lower power days, leg chest shoulder back and arm hypertrophy days. Power days for bench,squat, deads, and over head press I will use a 5/3/1 template.
Plan of attack in the kitchen:
Will run lower carb days for about 5 days only consuming carbs pretty workout in the morning then doing a carb up day. If people are interested I would be more than willing to log macros. Well first dose tomorrow, really looking forward to it.

Update on effects other than strength and aggression. I have had joint issues in my knees and also have back issues ( dergentive disc disease). I have really noticed a lack of pain and issues from this. Not sure what it could be with the 4 andro but the relief from these issues has been awesome.

 

[mattborn00]

Also will be updating and making a change to my training plan. Will still be using a percentage based program for my top 4 lifts but I going back to heavy barbell and dumb bell lifting. I feel like for me it's time to get back to heavy hardcore training. Will be lifting 4 days a week with this. But will also be doing cardio on off days amd on some lifting days. Along with regular cardio I will be adding weigh vest distance walks and sled training with farmers walks and other nasty type cardio.
