Awesome volume work on squats, heavy shi.t there as well as SOHP.
Dopey whats your thoughts on DAA? Have you done any research into them?

Thanks Chris.

DAA works. Its proven to raise testosterone levels. So much so that you might even need an aromitase inhibitor to prevent the side effects of high estrogen levels. BUT there is some speculation it may kill brain cells and I have stayed away from it because of that. This is what I researched a little over a year ago. New information may have come out since then so you may want to look into it again. Out of all the natty testosterone boosters I have looked into, DAA seems to be the most effective.

good chit as always, would be sick to make friday work.

Oh ok, cool
Interesting, studies have shown that 45 people took part in an experiment on them and over 12 days testosterone levels were increased an avg of 45%!
I have acquired some recently, but havent taken any yet just trying to do all the research i can before i 'flip' this ace card.

Do you think BCAAs work at all?

[ngolsen]

That's going to be a LONG race.

Not that long for either of us. mid next year max for me...

Btw Colin. Strong volume session and strong pressing. After my next comp pressing is coming back into my repertoire along with ****loads more oly lifts. Getting some 1on1 coaching from a commonwealth/olympic games competitor

Mirin your overall strength man. strong will and execution.

Yeah that sounds about right. The stuff ****ing works lol. As far as BCAA's go I would spend your money on steak, eggs and chocolate milk instead.

The whole NMDA thing with DAA is overblown, you do not need to worry about it.

I'd get sodium DAA now before prices go up or it's hard to find...

This is a pretty good video of Layne talking about Test boosters and their effectiveness.

every sesh is a PR!! good chit as always. looks like you have a 450 squat and 250 military press in you. I've been hitting a few PRs too. check my log. I hit 405x15 on romanians, 405x30 on shrugs, and 70s for 20 on seated dumbbell press all with more in the tank. just waiting for the deadlift PRs to come. I'm getting the hang of barbell shrugs which is good. wanna build them monster traps lol.

[jshaw5]

Awesome work all around man.

How so? Links? There really aren't any long term studies on DAA and when I hear something about your brain possibly becoming negatively effected by the sides that throws up a red flag for me and it will take a lot of information to change my mind. I have about 10 sealed tubs of DAA lol.

I had a guy doing my programming and coaching that I've since stopped. I'm running Sheiko 32 peak cycle leading up to this comp which doesnt have pressing in it. After the comp I will be doing my own programming again.

Dont forget that DAA is an endogenous substance with a vital neuroendocrine role. Its not some toxin that your body makes as a byproduct or something

Did I read that workout right? 355x5x5 for squats? That's a typo right? lulz

Dopey whats your thoughts on DAA? Have you done any research into them?

I just finished a bottle of BB.com's Alpha Protocol which has DAA as the main ingredient. I'm not going to be buying any more of it. I don't think there is a linear relationship between test levels and growth potential. Either you have enough to grow or you don't. I got my levels checked before I started taking it and was right smack in the middle of the normal range. I haven't noticed any of the reported effects from taking it. Don't get me wrong, my progress over the last 30 days was great......but my progress for the previous 60 days was just as good without it. So my recommendation to anyone considering any test booster is to get your levels checked beforehand. If your levels are legitimately low - think about it. But if you are in the normal range - don't waste your money.

One man's opinion.

You did a much better time last dead video of setting up and not ripping and gripping, you can see how much you get pulled out of position when you don't remove the slack from the bar.
