First, it was free. After doing some research on the end hormone I found it to be of some benefit to run on my cut. Hardness and some increase in fat loss were due to the increase in total androgen levels.... So far, It's been doing it's job and Im pleased with the results.

That's tight ... yah I haven't really heard any feedback on it so I am intrigued in this.

Oh yeah... strength is way down because I cut out my carb-up meal. I'll probably be doing a carb cycling diet starting on thursday with my new trainer.

Thoughts:
- I was dragging ass. I was only resting 30sec between sets and going slow on the reps. I went light today as my trainer advised me to hit it slow and high reps.

UPDATE:
- My diet will be changing this week to a sort of carb cycling, which was put together by my new trainer.

Why did he recommend to go lighter during this stage?
Just curious on credentials a bit too. Is this guy going pro or a bb-er or....?

not to bash, but you want to keep it lower reps to maintain that muscle, if anything do a burnout set at the end of each exercise or a nice drop set in high reps of something and do it last.

He's a local who's very good. He won the over-all in 07 Oklahoma NPC. There's pictures of him on MD.

I'm still going to be going heavy when I can, but this past week I've been extremely weak and tired, so going light has been good for me. He only recommended that I go lighter a couple of sets or certain workouts to condition myself... and go heavy on the middle sets.

hmmmm, interesting. Just be careful and make sure he's doing whats best for you and not what worked best for him

Yeah, ATM I'm glad that I've been doing lighter weight till the new diet starts. I've told him that doing heavy weight has really helped me keep my mass and he wants me to continue lifting heavy and incorperate some conditioning.
