T-folk: I started Ian King’s “Limping” series on 11 June, a month later I started his “12 Weeks to Super Strength,” & I finished with them both last week. During the whole time, I took a multivitamin & flaxseed oil daily & kept my protein at about 1.5 g/lb bodyweight. For the first 6 weeks I followed the T-Dawg Diet strictly, supplemented with Methoxy-7, MD6 & the old T2, & lost 6 lbs of fat (193 → 187). I lost weight best when I added a 1/2 hour of cardio 3x a week. For the last 10 weeks I followed the Massive Eating diet haphazardly, supplemented with Androsol & Tribex, & gained 8 lbs (187 → 195), most of it LBW. My best strength & weight gains came while I was on Androsol.
Strength gains for my lower body were way beyond what I would have thought possible. Strength gains in my upper body were compromised by 2 injuries that I lived with for the last 5 weeks of the program & had to try to work around: damage to my left rotator cuff, & impingment of a nerve in my neck that resulted in significant loss of strength in my left arm. Still, this is what I was able to do: squats increased by 90 lbs (225 -> 315), deadlifts increased by 150 lbs (155 -> 305, I used to be afraid of them), bench press increased by 40 lbs (a wussie 155 -> not-as-wussie 195), chins went from a max of 4 to sets of 4 with added weight. In addition, I took 3 inches off my waist. Thanks to one & all for your encouragement & support, & to BioTest for great products. Can I be promoted now from "Rank Novice" to "Respectable Beginner"?
