A little detective help please! AML cycle

140 - 170 bpm is too much imo, especially during your bb training. You re doing endurance training.
You should do your cardio at the end of your training sessions and not go over 130bpm.
That is if muscle size is your priority. If you go over 130, your body may start eating proteins as a source of energy (your muscles) as the glycogen pool may not suffice the energy needs.
The glycogen theory is a good one in your case. You can be the strongest man on earth, without glycogen in your muscle you wont be able to lift a pencil.
Why do we lift less as we progress into our training. Because glycogen being the muscles energy is being depleted from the muscle as we go along. Most of the glycogen is stored in our liver, but it takes a while to go from liver to replenish the muscle glycogen. If you do heavy cardio, imo theres no way you will be stronger afterwards, as your global energy levels will get lower. Keep in mind that AAS does not only increase metabolism, the part where our muscles get ''repaired'' ...AAS also increases muscle catabolism. In other words, if your on juice, you will destroy your muscles more when you train, and they will have an increased reparation rate. This is why AAS are so good, it helps us destroy more muscle then repairs it 3 times faster...
2 shots a week is perfect.
Try to sleep well...i mean bad sleeping habits may not do anything right away, but it is over time you may notice sides. Like you said, you re turning 42 ( same here bro, i know what you mean) we cant just party all night and work all day like we used to hahaha...
The gear potency is not the issue, i give you my word that AML does NOT underdose. They actually overdose 2 to 5% to make up for losses in needle tip/vial...
keep us posted man!
Take care!

Thanks Trust, it does make sense. I'm going to wait to do cardio after my workouts. From what I understand about heart rates and exercise, you should stay somewhere between 60-80% of your maximum heart rate. I know the rule of thumb is 220 minus your age, but mine is a bit higher than that. I read on mayoclinic.com that this was individual dependent, just like everything else. I wear a Polar chest strap heart rate monitor, and did a field test, and my heart rate hit 190. So, I should be around 114 (at 60% for fat burn) to 152 (at 80% for cardio). So, for the majority of the time I am on the treadmill, I am averaging closer to the 150 range as I go from 0 incline and stay around 140bpm for two minutes, then I go to a 30 incline for 1 minute, where my heart rate normally reaches 170, then I go back down for two, normally reaching the 140 by the time I start the climb again. I know this...the calories the treadmill says are being burned at the higher incline obviously go a lot faster, so I try to burn off as much fat as possible in as short a time frame as possible. Ever since I hit 40, my body wants to hold on to fat more, so Im just trying to burn more efficiently. To burn the same amount of calories at 130, I'd have to be on for way longer. I will keep you posted, though. Thanks again for the input.

i dont understand what u are trying to do honestly, like dont get me wrong cardio is great, but why would u do 30-45 min of cardio getting your bpm up to 170, then trying to lift heavy, doesnt make awhole lot of sense, if anything like stated above, do your cardio after lifting weights, not before!
Either u cut or bulk, def sounds like u are trying to do both to me, lol, and it's def not the gear underdosed bro

I'm not really trying to lift super heavy, that's the thing. I normally can rep out 275 for at least 6-8 times, on my last set. I don't know man, I guess I am just trying to look the best I can in as short a time frame as possible. So yes, I am trying to put on some muscle size while cutting some fat. I've certainly been able to do that in the past. Good call on not doing cardio in between...that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense after the glycogen conversation. Thanks bro.

Kind of scary to see.

I may reconsider my AML purchase until further notice....

Why dont you do that...
Yea, thats scary... out of 200 reviews, one person is saying his strength went down on the bench press after doing 45 minutes of high energy cardio.... Those 199 other people are just liars i guess...
Im sorry but you re retarded

Guys relax Aml is fine , u missed part of his post he was on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) this has a huge impact on things , I am on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and my levels and are different with every blood test and I have used Aml test and gotten the same blood results and with the pharma grade prescribed doctor stuff. Also I have good days at the gym and bad ones , guys on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) have more than a few things going on so Tmer4thewin1 you hold off cuz I am sure your not ready for the real thing

Listen, it wasn't the gear. I'm now convinced that it was the glycogen issue. I lifted 285x8 tonight, so strength is going up again. I will be placing another order from them soon. Initially I had my doubts, but that was my idiotic glycogen burn before my last set that caused my decrease in strength. It's on me, not AML.

Sorry for my doubts. I will be getting my bloods done again in a few days and will post the results. I'm sure that my T is up, especially when compared to my previous T levels. BTW, I assume everyone knows that you can get at least some basic blood tests, along with Estradiol and Total T for only $60. I read it in another thread somewhere, but I figured I would throw it out there in case some of you didn't see that thread. Anyways, It's PrivateMDLabs.com. You can order the test online (female hormone panel, but the lab automatically changes the reference ranges when you indicate you are male), pick which local lab you want to draw the blood, have it tested, then get the results delivered to you, via email within the following 2 days. It doesn't have to get filtered through your doc, which I've always felt was bullshit anyway. Really, my doctor can see them but I can't? WTF? It is MY blood, after all. Times, though, are a changing.

Hehe, im happy we found the cause... We tend to think we re invincible when on gear (aren't we?) but our body still needs to follows basic physiology principles. Sugar + oxygen = ATP .... no sugar= no energy= no lifts

Im glad your bench has started going up again!

Take care, and keep us posted on your progress!

It is YOUR blood and they (if you're in the US) HAVE to provide you with a copy of your test results if requested.

Yeah, me too. Thanks man. I'm gonna be the best old man I can possibly be. Ha!

Yes, I always get a copy, but only after it is "filtered" through the doc's office and after making a special request. The lab won't ever give it to me unless I'm the one that actually ordered it. They always say "You will have to get them from your doctor."

Reminds me of when books weren't published en masse in order to keep the people that didn't deserve to be from reading.
