I had it recommended that this would be a good place to log this, so here it is.
I'll be logging this for the duration of at least one bottle. I haven't seen a lot of logs on this, so this should be interesting. I just got a bottle from Gym-N-Tonic after Wes Inman talked it up, and having followed a lot of research on SR-9009.
The issue I kept seeing with SR was that it showed poor bioavailability, so they made a transdermal. I used androSHRED before and was very happy with that, so I'm giving this a shot.
First off, long time member, first time logging. I've been using it for about a week, but I got baselines before I started.
I'm a 30y/o strongman competitor, just moved up to the 200s over the past 2 years from the 175s as I was taking some much needed time away because of injuries. I'm just starting to get back into a real strength phase now that I'm healthy enough and get back to competing with the top guys. My best lifts as a 175 were a 305 axle, 290 log, 605 deadlift, and a 385 stone to 48". I'm only just now closing my deadlift PRs, and am still working on everything else.
I'll mostly be using this for endurance, as that's what it's supposed to primarily benefit. In terms of endurance compounds, I've played with just about everything. GW, ITPP, injectable carnitine, you name it. I'm currently using 10mg GW pre-workout, but I use that year round, so any additional boost will be from the Gear as nothing else has changed.
Endurance Baselines
11:30 1.5 mile run, didn't train for it. I have another coming up in 2 weeks, no training for it, so it should be an accurate representation.
405x16 deadlift after a few heavy sets
175x20 Bent over row (hit 195x20 yesterday, after hitting 185x20 when first starting this.
DB OHP: 40x3x20, these are done mostly as recovery work, but I'm interested in seeing if this goes up.
Strict Press: 135x8 on log, 130x12, 160x6
So far I've felt a bit more energy at the end of my workouts, and haven't needed as much time to recover from squats or deadlifts in between sets. It's only about 8 days in, the only thing I've felt hit this quick was ITPP, and it didn't affect my lifting as much as my general cardio. This seems to be improving both, but we'll see what happens to my baseline lifts for a true judge of where things stand.
I'll track my lift numbers on higher rep sets, how I feel, how I recover in between sets, and how overall volume trends. Anything else you want to see me comment on or any questions, just let me know!!!
