MMV2 / Formadrol

A 4 week MMV2 run with the 2 week Formadrol PCT is a nice little quickie for between cycles. Take you a couple of weeks off after PCT and then take a couple more weeks off after the MMV2/Formdrol run also.

3 day split

I've been recovering for 4 days lately, but when epistane starts next week I'm going to be moving to 3 day split keeping the same workout. If I feel completely tired and it is too much, I'll add an extra recovery day successively until I'm good.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay the iphone has let me down enough by losing my "gym buddy" data so I'm sticking to pen and paper notebooks.

Some of the equipment at my gym is in kg, some in lb. The best part about kg is I really don't know what they represent offhand, even though I made a quick small chart from 100~160 lb before I went out yesterday. So I might actually lift more initially then planned.


Dumbbell Flyes, target is 6~10. Used: 66kg for 13 reps. Moving up to 77kg next time. However if I can't adjust the machine better for my arms, I'm going to consider dropping it for the pec deck.

Incline Press: moved immediately to this from flyes. Also, started out here to warm up and find a set a good weight for after the flyes. Target here was 1~3 reps, and I got 2 with 88kg. Warmup was 44kg, 66kg, 77kg. I'm going to keep this one at 88kg and see if I can get 3+ reps next time.


Straight arm pull down: the machine we use at the gym is off being refurbed, so I used the cables and the weight there only goes to 100. Despite that, I started with 60lb, target 6~10 reps. I did 27 (wtf) which is WAY TOO MANY and took fucking forever. I'm switching to full 100 next time, or the pullover machine. This was for lats.

Immediately jump to: Palms up pulldown, same machine (wont work if we use pullover but should be fairly quick jump over to cables). Target 6~10 reps. With 60lb I did 37 reps and said f**** this. Went to 90x6, going to 100 next time. Again, this lat pulldown machine is off being refurb for about another month (christ).

Deadlift. Target 6~10 reps, should be complete failure at rep 10. Did 18 reps, going to warm up with 4x135, then add 50 for 185 to failure (6~10).

Mike Mentzer / HIT / Update

Studying Mike Mentzer and applying his studies, teaching, and philosophy in regards to training with high intensity.

I was ~171 lb the other day. Been resting for 4 days, will go back in tomorrow and hit the legs/abs.

Beta Alanine

Beta Alanine capsules (2.25g) can be used by weight trainers &/or endurance athletes to help boost intracellular carnosine levels which in turn may lead to increased endurance, lean muscle, and strength gains.


Each serving of Beta Alanine caps provide 2.25 grams (2250 mg) of Beta Alanine per serving.


Typical Results:

* Improved Lean Muscle and Strength Gains*
* Improved Muscular Endurance for More Productive Workouts & Training Sessions*
* Enhanced Recovery*
* Excellent Pumps*
* Delayed Fatigue *


Ask Yourself These Questions:

Do you train at a high intensity?

Would you benefit from limiting fatigue/improving endurance during your workouts?

Do you want to improve your explosive power output?

Do you want to improve your recovery time?

Do you want to get the most from your workouts?

* If you answer yes to any of the above questions, Beta Alanine may just be a perfect option for your new training companion.


How does it work?

Beta Alanine works through increasing carnosine levels. By doing so, it helps improve weight training and athletic performance in a variety of ways. Increasing carnosine levels is important because it increases buffering capacity in the muscle, which means that carnosine helps prevent your muscles from becoming too acidic during times of stress.

Carnosine is found in primarily type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers, which are the ones that are most important for explosive movements. This makes Beta Alanine supplementation ideal for weight trainers, sprinters, and a variety of other athletes.


In basic terms, that means that increasing carnosine levels allows one to train harder and longer for improved performance and results.


Another important benefit of increased carnosine levels is that carnosine is a powerful precursor in potentiating Nitric Oxide (N.O.). This is because carnosine is the substrate for NOS (Nitric Oxide Synthase) activity, which is the enzyme responsible for generating Nitric Oxide. In layman’s terms, this leads to more dramatic vasodilation and ‘pumps’.


How long does it take to start noticing results?

Immediate Benefits: Many users will notice enhanced vasodilation aka ‘pumps’ within the first couple days of using Beta Alanine.


Longer Term Benefits: Beta Alanine works through helping increase carnosine levels. By doing so, it contributes to helping build lean muscle, improve endurance, delay fatigue, and improve recovery. These results are typically noticed during the second week of use, although some users will notice them sooner. Also, unlike many supplements in which results decrease with continued use, the most beneficial results with Beta Alanine are usually noticed after consistent usage for 3 weeks and continue to progress.


In summary, whether you are an athlete looking to improve explosive power and output, or a weight trainer trying to get the most from your workouts, Beta Alanine can be cost effectively implemented into your training regimen to help you maximize your hard earned results.

Update

As of last week I'm set at 165 lbs. Trying to get at least 20g protein every 3 hours, and 20~40g casein before bed. I think 40 makes me too tired in the morning, but not sure because my alarm was accidentally set for 5 PM so when I woke up at 6:30 I was a bit confused.

Cancelling World's Gym in OC today, signed up for a place called Energy Gym a little closer to home that is also open 24 hours a day (very fucking cool). Still having a hard time closing down the HT membership at the max rate because face it, tan people are hot and I like being hot.

6-oxo relevant post

Let me guess; You were taking 600 mgs (double recommended dose) of 6-OXO, then in one day without any tapering you drop to 0 mgs.

There by creating double estrogen levels and driving your testosterone levels down low.

6-OXO should be tapered off at no faster than 100 mgs every 4 days to be safe.

Stop Neovar

Why? Creatine is meant to be 5 day load, 30 days on, and cycled out. We've been on it forever. Ugh. Stupid n00b.

Beginning 6oxo / Lean Xtreme

6oxo: 20 day cycle, 3 caps with last meal (converting to trione after this)

Lean Xtreme: 1 cap when waking up, another 4 hours later.

Cardio Day!

Okay so we're prepping for an 11mi run from Selbyville to Fenwick Island, I type this as I pull dead bugs off of my back from being trapped in my shirt this last round.

One can appreciate an indoor treadmill even more because I can't for the life of me remember the last time I was indoors and breathed in 50 bugs a shot for an hour straight. ugh.

We did good though and, for the next 2 weeks, 3x a week, we're running to the end of Selbyville town limits. I'm not sure how far that is, but I didn't finish KMFDM WWIII CD, I've been back for awhile, and I didn't leave until like 8:20 or so which just now is an hour ago.

Can't wait to see how this feels tomorrow morning, especially with tomorrow being fake cardio day (mowing the lawn ;))

Pre WO included:
PSlin
Xtend BCAA
24g ON Gold Standard
2x Kwik Carb (not sure the g measurement, I think ~88 I can measure once I get a digi)
2x PCT (Stoked)
3x Neovar (old with CEE)
3x Pfull

Post WO:
24g ON
Xtend BCAA
3x Neovar (old/CEE)

Oh yes, lunch today was a big box meal from taco bell. Not to worry, I had 8 bsn cheaters caps ;)

I also haven't been as regular in the bathroom, even with lots of fiber. I think this means instead of wasting supplements, I'm actually increasing mass now.

Man I haven't sweat this much in forever, and it feels absolutely great! If I could do ONE thing better, it would be to plan a really fucking awesome playlist for the ipod. Sevendust is on my mind!

Got a leg attachment for the weight set today. It came with an adapter for olympic weights which is great, but I have all CAP right now AND they made it so I have to go to my house and dig around for my tools in order to get it off/use it. haha.... I might make tomorrow leg/dead lift day. I want to push tris back as far as I can this week because of the first tri workout last week and how my joints felt after, and the soreness for 4x days.

That's all for now, have an awesome evening everyone!

Began taking AI's PCT (also sold as Stoked)

2am, 2pm (i'm going around 8am and 8pm)

also i want to start on some 6oxo when it comes in, see how that works for me

Epistane PCT

I told the AM folks I was avoiding epistane for awhile. This is true, but I will add cycle support to my daily supplementation. Off of epi, you can halve the dose which means it will last longer :) Bulk > cap any time! ($$$ wise too).

BUT for the future, here's one Havoc (epiclone) users PCT:

I just wanted to start this thread so that others that have had great results with their HAVOC cycle can post their cycle/Stack along with PCT.

OK here we go.

Week 1: 20mg havoc + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support
Week 2: 20mg havoc + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support
Week 3: 30mg havoc + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support
Week 4: 40mg havoc + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support

Week 5: 4caps Post Cycle Support + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support
Week 6: 4caps POST cYCLE Support + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support
Week 7: 4caps Post Cycle Support + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support + 3caps Lean Extreme
Week 8: 4caps Post Cycle Support + 2 scoop AI Cycle Support + 3Caps Lean Extreme + 4caps 6oxo

Week 9: + 3caps Lean Extreme + 3caps 6oxo
week 10: + 3caps Lean Extreme + 2caps 6oxo
week 11:

Oh FYI, Current weight: 157.7 :)

Epistane Cycle: Work in progress

Alrighty so I've ordered Epistane, Cycle Support, and Post Cycle Support from IBE. After much reading, I've determined that it is an incomplete kit and need to order some Novedex XT, and restock my Cissus for PCT.

_ 2 weeks out, begin Cycle Support

_ Cycle:
Dosing spread at: 4am, 10am, 4pm, with the higher doses earlier in the morning.
I'm planning a 4 week run of Epistane at 20/30/30/40
Week 1: 10/20/20/20
Week 2: 30/30/30/30
Week 3: 30/30/30/30
Week 4: 40/40/40/40

After the cycle:

_ Post Cycle Support
_ Nolvadex (40/40/20/20)
_ Super Cissus RX
_ 6-OXO
_ Axis HT (Only because I have 2 bottles laying around)

------
What doesn't change?
_ BCAAs during/post workout (Xtend)
_ Protein Supplementation
_ Multivitamin

What does change?
On cycle, stop NeoVar, Powerfull, Anabolic Pump, PSlin

Home Gym FTW

Unless you live next door to a gym, I'm voting for a home gym being the best. Mine is far from complete, but it has allowed me to train intensely without having to worry about "did I bring a good change of clothes" or "did I forget something" or even "aw crap now I have to buy the Gym's version of a creatine/protein product because mine is at home." It has also allowed me to stop trying to sneak stuff in to work, because it's just not necessary. Focus is again where it needs to be at the gym, intensity, my music gets played loudly, and focus is where it belongs at work, myspace, youtube, failblog, explosm, etc.

Videos

I'm yanking these from my myspace page and putting them here;

neovar

neovar recomp with pre workout shake

neovar recomp with post workout shake

ap the rest of the time

no more pslin :O

neovar recomp = pslin+creatine mono basically = leet

fat burners

go ahead, take them forever. and when you wonder why you're tired all of the time, THEN you can remember you're supposed to off-cycle them after 8~12 weeks for at least 4 weeks. silly.

Next Cycle

Gotta do a cycle of epistane :D

Ab Thingy

now i have a reason to go to the store again
