out and now I'm only on 300 test a week, I'm done with deca and eq I've been reading or maybe looking for negative stuff and I've found it, Another thing is with this routine to go to failure and getting to heavy weights on so many
sets i think will take a cns toll i feel like crap for the last 4 days i overdid it.
