Hey Brah' how goes it. Just answered this on my journal for ya, but here goes again.
No, not AAS assisted right now,..all natty. Not sure AAS is for me for a number of reasons; 1. Being 36 yrs old and not sure if I'd wanna compete one day or not, dunno if its wise for me. (still on the fence about if it is wise for anyone not looking to compete to be on AAS) 2. Not sure of a safe reliable source to get it from if I was to try. No current Broly's in my gym still competing and their sources are probably out-dated at best. (but yes, I have to admit I have thought about it)
When I first found this site it was because I was looking for help a little over a year ago. Had a very bad experience with some "wanna-be" Juice. Came down very hard and wasn't a good feeling.
36 sets "normally" take us just over an hour when un-interupted. 5's for us is doen very explosive and rest between sets is just long enough for training partner to complete his set. Usually winded still when getting back on for my next set. We've OT'd in the past with diferent HST set-ups, but the one were doing now works just fine and were usually able to even go past our regular 2 weeks of 5's for another week or so on many lifts. The ones were already maxed on we just continue on with the same weight till our bodies say its time for some negs and deconditioning.
