thanks man

super awesome.

Oh been reading a lot.

Refeeding with fats = good, but even better with MCTs.

so a refeed with a mix of MCT and LCTs and high protein will kick metabolism up a ton..

id say only eat 400-500 OVER maintence on that day.

That's interesting, and at this point a calorie boost with fats is the only thing I haven't tried
so I'm totally giving it a shot. Gonna pick up some coconut oil I guess

Got some suggestion for other MCTs food?

Time for me to take the duts off my zero carb cheescake!
(which was pretty awesome now that I think about it!)

uhm.... stearic acid i believe is a saturated fat that converts to long chain n-9 fat in intestine which may stimulate some thermioc responce in digestion. not sure though.

as far as i know Coconut oil is the only MCT i know of.

 

[ssbackwards]

oh and zero carb cheesecake?

how you8 do that.

mine has like 54g per entire cake, 24.6g fiber and 205 protein and 81g fat.

Muscle feast just started selling a bulk MCT product. No idea what it is comprised of though. EVCO is amazing stuff!

Super easy and fast to make:

No carbs Cheescake:

Ingredients:
125gr Fat free cream cheese
1 eggs white
3 tbs double cream (liquid whipping cream, not sweetened)
1/4 cup zsweet/stevia
1/2 scoop protein (vanilla works best, use choc for a "spin off" also good)


Preparation:
oven at 180 degrees, for 30 minutes,
then cool for about 1 to 2 hours in the freezer

Checking that out even tho' I'd actually prefer real food for my refeed ya know.. once a week at least lol

your getting carbs (fiber) from the zsweet though.

no crust?

i need a crust.

mines a no bake recipe.

in 1/4 of the cake im getting a decent amount of fiber and 50g protein and 20g fat.

im lactose intollerant so i use CHEVERINE goat cheese instead of regular cream cheese ... lower protein a tad, but can make up for it with protein powder.

 

[ssbackwards]

make like a coconut thai chicken bro.

using peanut butter coconut oil, a little coconut milk thai seasonings and a lil ciracha.

Nope no crust for me I'm easy
I made this three times and then I quit because it was way too good for me to hold back

make like a coconut thai chicken bro.

using peanut butter coconut oil, a little coconut milk thai seasonings and a lil ciracha.

Ah that sounds good, PB chicken is already one of my fav, adding coconut milk and thai seasoning sounds very good (love asian food!)

I demand recipe!!

 

[ssbackwards]

I demand recipe!!

i cook on a whim.

make sure to use FULL fat PB

oh and stuff on Vanadium and weightloss etc. showing decreased oral bioavialbility opposed to BMOV which is readily absorbed in sensitive tissues causing more of a tox issue then VS. which if using it with HCA or Vit C should be no worries as they act like chelators.

ill make up recipe right now...

Dark chili powder Cayenne 1/2 cup coconut milk 4 table spoon coconut oil 6 tablespoon peanut butter 1 teasoppn ciracha and 1 teaspoon chilipaste 1 table spoon full fat mayo.

put EVCO and cocomilk in pot bring to boil then let simmer, add PB and other ingredients and mix let simmer for 10-12 min.

thats how i would do it.

 

[ssbackwards]

a little nutmeg and cinnamon with allspice to make it more of a jerk flavor.

How much chilli powder, chicken and cayenne?

I will give this a this weekend! :food:

 

[ssbackwards]

How much chilli powder, chicken and cayenne?

I will give this a this weekend! :food:

depends on your taste i would say 3:1 chili:cayenne.

i usually do a 2:1 though the coconut milk may bring out some of the spice though.

 

[ssbackwards]

chicken all depends on how much you mak yanno all depends on servings you want . id do 20oz uncooked chicken,

 

[AutoKal47]

Today's gonna be back wo
very heavy day

I had a not so great night of sleep so I'm a bit groggy
this morning, the stack will fix that

I just want to report on my body composition:

for the first time I have hard time understanding it
and the reason I think is because is slightly changing..

It'll take me few days I think to really figure out what's going on
(this is in my opinion related to Recompadrol):

Fat % is lower, but for some reason my skin seems slightly thicker,
I can feel it with my hands on my stomach, and yet vascularity doesn't
seem to be affected by it, but that's also genetic, I'm vascular to begin with.

If that was the case, any explanation for it?

 

[bdcc]

Low carb cheesecake? I am excited.

Then I see some disgrace of a recipe with no crust, you can't call it a cheesecake without a crust!

Oh guys, I have a lower carb gluten free apple pie recipe. Take some apples cut them up and stevia, it is a crust free recipe!

Lol what's up with the crust everyone?!

Be hardcore, drop the crust!

BTW it's super fast to make, give it a try Ben

EDIT: i have a picture of it

 

[JudoJosh]

Maybe almond meal as a crust?

 

[AutoKal47]

Maybe almond meal as a crust?

Could be an idea

I also remember finding some premade no carb crust, I didn't bother tho'
cause I ain't that spoiled kiddin'

UPDATE

Back wo today

Warm up:
Lat machine, diff grips 3 set x 15 reps
Bent over v-bar bb rows 1 set warm up 15 reps

Bent over v-bar bb rows 5 sets
12/10/8/6/3 + light superset to failure
New PR for the last set @ 210lbs
seated rows (cable) supersets - to failure - x 2, 1 wide grip, 1 v-bar

1arm DB rows (fixed already the discrepancy between left and right side, my left side was weaker last week,
today I haven't had problems) 4 sets 10/8/6/4 + reverse flies superset x2

90 degrees bent over db rows on boxes (stretching the muscle all the way down)
3 sets 12/10/8

Weighted hyperextension 3 sets 15/15/15

Lat machine 4 sets wide grip 12/10/8/6 + superset scaling down the weights (to failure)
Lat machine 4 sets narrow grip 12/10/8/6
Lat machine v-bar 3 sets 12/10/8

BB bent over rows 4 sets 10/8/6/4 went up with the weights
on every set + over hand light superset x 2

Seated rows 4 sets wide grip overhand 12/10/8/6
Seated rows 4 sets wide grip underhand 12/10/8/6
Incline bench db rows superset to failure

I actually stopped again because of the time, almost 3 hours
felt like I could've gone forever, but life outside was calling

Nothing to add on the wo, another fantastic day, another PR
and the beat goes on, Da da dum da dum dum

As a natty bb, I confirm this to be the best size/strength stack
for a life long low carber like me that is after lean gains.

WEIGHT & SIZE

I finally weighted myself since tomorrow is rest day,
gained 3lbs, but it looks like I gained almost twice that
The more obvious are the large muscles, mostly back and chest,
I am wider for sure (I have a very narrow waist so it's easy to spot)
Not so much my limbs and yet I can tell my legs a bit bigger.
Shoulders are still popping out more but a tad less then yesterday or
two days ago.
Abs are much wider and cuts are deeper, that's probably the more
aesthetically pleasant change along with my lats, most def the part
that got more size.

BODY COMP
As for body composition, like I said something is changing slightly
but I cannot figure out what, fat is lower (altho' there wasn't much to begin with
but one more reason to be happy, ain't easy to go lower..)
But for some reason my skin *feels* thicker.

I previously stated that it *looked* thicker but that would actually have a negative effect
on vascularity, which doesn't.
Biggest veins are bigger, like noticeably
and small veins are not only visible but sticking out even at rest,
AND (very important I think) temperature dropped by a lot here compared
to when I took the pictures from the first post, which for me changes
*a lot* on how much veins stick out.

So I know that E-bol makes me more vascular, but I think Recompadrol
is definitely doing something and I think in few days I'll be able to better understand.
I think the fact that I was "feeling" Glycobol while I don't feel Recompadrol
tricked me into believing it was somewhat less effective.
Can't wait to try the refeed with MTC/fats with it on Tuesday!

So far I'm happy tho' because for the first time in years I actually boosted
calories (90% with protein) for about 10 days straight now, gained size, weight
while becoming more vascular and nibbling a bit of fat as well (cuts are noticeably deeper,
especially on the sides of my abdomen).

Happy times

 

[ssbackwards]

Flax seed meal is a better crust all carbs are fiber and tastye good with cinnamon and zsweet

 

[bdcc]

Apologies if I missed it but what other products along the GDA line have you tried? I chatted briefly with ssbw in PM and it is nice to hear thoughts from people who have tried a lot of them, it is much more valuable to what I think the product would do on paper.

You're asking me?
If so, the first one I tried was Anabolic Pump, didn't notice much from it
I used extensively Glycobol, which has been my go-to GDA up until now;
and Anabeta as you know if you we wanna put it in the category somehow
since it showed some partitioning effects on some people

 

[AutoKal47]

Day Off

or "sh#t day" as I call it
I don't like not working out, it makes me feel
bad, makes me feel like I can't eat anything,
plus I have time on my hands which doesn't help
with dieting.

DOSING E-bol and Lit-Up
Anyways, dosing protocol changes for day off,
I take E-bol as suggested on the bottle, 2pcs empty
first thing, 2cps before meals evening and night.

I take Lit-Up too, actually, 1 tub of it is gone,
just took the last dose.
Up until now I ran two tubs of Lit-Up only once
and noticed that I get better results if instead
I stop after one then go back to it after a break.
But this time it makes sense to keep going
because of the synergy it seems to have with E-bol
and not even the first bottle of E-bol (running two) is out
yet, so yeah.. I'll pop open the second tub of Lit-Up,
this will also show if its effects are keeping up or not.

Recompadrol
Yesterday I changed timing for this one,
and also dosing. I took a total amount of 3cps,
the first 2 BETWEEN meals instead of 25/30 min before
and the last one on empty stomach before going to bed.
Result is this morning I woke up reaaaaally tight and lean,
vascularity was great (usually in the morning I do look leaner
as we all do, but vascularity is weak because I do IF,
so I stop eating at midnight and my last meal is pretty much just whey)
To be noticed that I gained weight, and yesterday my calorie intake
was higher - due to the fact that E-bol is still making me hungry as
a freaking lion, but it doesn't concern me because first, I crave protein
not carbs or junk food, second and most important, is more than hunger,
is actually a feeling that can be described as my body seriously requiring
more nutrients.
Proof of it is as mentioned before, no trace of fat increase, the opposite.
Another sign of better protein breakdown from E-bol is this: on day off
I don't eat anything (aside from a morning dose of BCAA)
up until 6pm and overall I take in less calories than on days on,
usually I'm fine with this but today I feel very weak and dizzy.
Since I raised protein intake on days on I *might* consider to
raise them a bit today too. I'm not sure tho' because on one side
I'm worried I'm fooling myself and just indulging, on the other side
doms are so massive that I feel like I should give my body nutrients
because muscles are still burning energy from yesterday's wo..
We'll see how I feel later on

Size, look and DOMS
DOMS first: they are crazy good.
My back feels big and heavy (yesterday wo) and so do my legs (two days ago!)
But the feeling is not a sharp pain, more like this heavy feeling, when I move
I kinda feel "slow" because of that, not negative, quite nice.
I don't get DOMS easily so..
As I said before my back is probably the body part I'm noticing more
size increase, also the part I went up with weight more than any other,
I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with muscle fibre type on those specific
muscles? Dunno, just wildly guessing. In know DOMS are at maximum after
back day, and body comp is nice, veins are on my back as well, lats and
tris show pretty noticeable lines.
My arms too look more "carved", hard to describe, it looks like what's going on
on my abs, deeper cuts but while on the abs is aesthetically pleasant
on my arms it makes them look smaller somehow.

Anyways, I don't "feel" Recompadrol but is working nicely for sure
Still looking for that sweet spot on timing, I sense there's potential to be
unleashed. Next refeed will tell me more

 

[ssbackwards]

heres the studies.

look at the second one toward the end specifically about vanadium and leptin

Obesity - Effects of Metformin and Vanadium on Leptin Secretion from Cultured Rat Adipocyteshttp://www.bioscience.org/u37153137/.../2332/2332.pdf

 

[ssbackwards]

However, when leptin responses were gauged by centralinfusion of leptin (5 ug/day), the leptin infusion resulted ina considerable weight loss in controls, but, moreimportantly, the leptin-induced weight loss was 43%greater in the rats pretreated with vanadium (Figure 15A).At the end of the 4-week infusion period, leptin signalingwas assessed in the hypothalamus. Leptin-mediated STAT3phosphorylation was 35% greater in the rats pretreated withvanadium compared with controls whereas the vanadiumtreatment alone had no effect (Figure 15B). These datademonstrate that chronic vanadium administrationenhances the weight-reducing effects of centrally​

administered leptin in lean animals.

Part of study of importance. greater leptin sensitivity in the brain leading to better fat loss. (high leptin in brain signals fat oxidation as opposed to low which induces storage. High circulating means problem with leptin signaling to hypothamus (mainly ARC nucleaus) causing weight gain/leptin resistance.)

so leptin signalling to brain from circulating to ARC nucleus = awesomeness

 

[AutoKal47]

Great reading right there!

Quick update but important

Dosing Recompadrol between meals and most important before bed
made difference here, and pretty noticeable one.

I dosed Recompadrol last night before bed as I said and since then
I've been fasting for 9 hours straight - this is not the first time, I do it everyday,
just without Recompadrol until now - and holy cow I can feel it!

And I can see it too!
Despite my veins are a bit less pumped (that's normal on day off,
lack of food and workout) I now look very grainy and cut, looks like
water has been kicked out of me, and I went hypo (or at least I had
the symptoms) which never happened with Glyco before (i took that between meals
and before bed as well).

Another thing to be noticed is Recompadrol doesn't seem
to make my insulin go "rollercoaster", meaning - without any scientific knowledge really -
I don't get the insulin spike feeling after a meal with the consequent dip,
I didn't have crashes on Glyco but I could feel the lowdown, and on some days
when I was *really* depleted it happened that I was falling asleep (almost passing out) for 20 min or so
right after a meal.

Don't really know how that translates in scientific terms but, my guess is, less actual insulin produced/required
by the body? I don't know, levels seem more stable without big peaks and dips.

Long story short, is working good and I like it, I'm most likely overanalyzing it but
that's just me, I'm a curious a##

 

[AutoKal47]

Quick prewo update:

DOMS on my back are so painful this morning
that for the first time I'm considering doing
chest today (tomorrow's wo) and deadlift tomorrow (today's wo)

Holy shi#t, I can barely move, my back hurt more than it did
yesterday (day off!), back wo was 2 days ago @_@

I don't know what's going on with my back and why is the part
that seems to be getting pushed this much, but it feels like
I'm growing freakin' wings there..

Too bad I don't have before pics of it because is looking
massively bigger

About to hit the gym in an hour or so, we'll see how I feel

 

[OrganicShadow]

Great thread here. Im in an have some catching up to do

 

[AutoKal47]

Glad to have you here bro

My posts tend to be a bit long I know lol

BTW, tip about Lit-Up - if you guys didn't try this already -

I opened the second bottle (Peach) but I still had one scoop of
the old one (Cherry): the two flavors together taste AMAZING!
Give it a try

Ima go for chest today, back DOMS are way too painful

 

[AutoKal47]

WO is done

As mentioned I swapped today/tomorrow's wo
because DOMS on my back were unbearable and
it would've been useless (since today I had deadlifts, squats - lightish - and abs)

Chest and triceps wo today and actually I will keep this routine regular 'cause I like it better,
back wo and deadlift were too close one to each other anyway.

First thing to report: endurance

My sessions are never less than 2 hours, most of them
2.45, but last 4 wo days I notice I add sets as I go,
I so more supersets etc.. and while rest between sets
is definitely decreased sessions end up being longer,
3+ hours and today was 3.30 minutes and I didn't feel tired.

Time goes fast, energy is always up and trained muscle group
goes to failure but my whole body doesn't feel tired, is great.

Another great day, I was very concentrated and strong,
I didn't go up with weights even tho' I felt like I could do
it on most exercises, I preferred instead going for a very mind/muscle
session

WO
Warm up:
ez bar decline bench x 12 narrow grip
ez bar decline bench x 12 wide grip
ez bar incline bench x 10 narrow grip
ez bar incline bench x 10 wide grip

Cable (rope) 10/8/6 + superset to failure
Cable flat grip 8/10/15/20 (start heavy, dropping weight)
1arm cable rope superset to failure

That was it

Nothing really to add to what I've been reporting so far,
which is great, all the good stuff is still here and I feel
great.

My back has been hurting the whole time,
I've never had DOMS this bad for this long in *years*
and I don't remember keep having them during the next wo
especially with my day off in between.

I tried to snap a picture of my back which will not
really tell you much because
A) I don't know how to pose at all, like
back pose for me is like "i have absolutely no idea",
B) I don't have a "before" so this is kinda useless

but in one of 'em you can see the bottom of my back
when I've almost been able to flex my lower back
and you can see a hint of lines which is nice (hard spot
to get lean..)

Anyway, pix were taken at rest and usually when I
have DOMS the muscle group is a bit tighter, no special lights or
anything, actually ****ty as# phone camera with a weird angle.. but
oh well

 

[chubbarock]

You are insanely lean, nice work bro.

 

[mattrag]

Wow man.. your back is damn lean!

keep killing it!

 

[AutoKal47]

Thanks guys,
pictures are an odd angle and as I said
i know jack about posing but, I gained +3lbs since I
started this stack, and I didn't have lines on my lower back before
So is it working exactly for what my goal was, keeping my BF as it is
and gaining something, plus the ridiculous increase in strength

Not bad for a natty stack I'd say

Today's deadlift/abs

My back is still sore! I must've pushed a bit
too much on my last back wo, not complaining
but I'm boosting BCAA today, also today is my refeed day
I'm not sure tho' what I'm gonna do because I have a very busy day
and I don't think I'll have time to cook stuff..
If I can I'll go for fats based refeed as planned, if not
I'll just make oats pancakes and use carbs (i'm not feeling that
hungry as for right now tho')

In both cases I'll try to have a big enough meal to
dose Recompadrol at 2cps.
It seems it took some "loading" of it to start working
but that doesn't surprise me since I experience that with
a lot of supplements, seems normal for my body to take some days
to react to thing.

Hitting iron in about 40min

 

[OrganicShadow]

My back has been beat up since thursday from 8 sets of deadlifts. It didnt start till Saturday and im still real achy. Whats going on? It doesnt feel like bone or joint pain, it feels like muscle tissue.

You are lean beyond compare. The striations in the lower back are incredible and your pulled rope tight across the triceps. Well defined read delt grouping arund the subscapularis. My applause

some products need to build up in the body. never thought recompadrol or other GDAs did they usually just activate the appropriate receptor.

in terms of fat loss though or vascularity it may take time due to your current low bodyfat, and it working via reduction of adipose tissue/ blocking of adipogenisis. There for those receptors in your body are probably very low bc your bodyfats low.

just a guess

Thanks bro
this is the first time I am actually able to boost cals a bit, gains something without not only avoid BF to raise,
but actually nibble something more.

My back has been beat up since thursday from 8 sets of deadlifts. It didnt start till Saturday and im still real achy. Whats going on? It doesnt feel like bone or joint pain, it feels like muscle tissue.

Same, my back wo was Fri, Sat off, Sunday chest/tri and today deadlift and my lats still feel like they were about to explode, no bones or
joints but yeah, muscle tissue 100%, just massive DOMS that don't go away, I'm not really complaining as i love 'em
but I've never had to switch a wo because of them, I just wanna make sure recovery is ok because they come from a pretty big
increase in wo intensity and weights, which wasn't light to begin with..

So, wo is over for today as well another pretty long session
not the best since I started the stack tho', kinda odd..

Started with abs, 2 routines (3 and 1, from my previous description/post)
Went good, weights felt lighter, good concentration, I was somewhat trynna save energy
because deadlift sets were about to follow.

Deadlift (conventional)

Warmup 2 sets, 12 reps

Deadlift 5 sets 10/8/6/4/3 + 2 superset light/fast one conventional grip, 1 sumo
I matched my the PR (last week) so strength was there, but I couldn't really built stamina today
I don't know why. I tried to beat my PR and failed lol, lift the bb half way but couldn't make it, it's ok
can't beat a PR every week right?

Stiff Legs Deadlift 4 sets 12/10/8/6
Went up a lil bit with weights on this, so very good

2 x Weighted Hyperextention supersets 10/10/10/10 @ 10kg/5kg/2kg/no weight
touched failure on the last set and had to rest for a coupla seconds for the last 2/3 reps

Following a couple of warmup leg curls/prone curls sets 15reps
to warmup my knees before the squats

Squats 4 sets 12/10/8/6
Superset, 20reps
Superset front squats x 20

Everything was good and energy up and yet, stamina wasn't where I wanted it to be
So I went for a leg curls and prone curls whole set, same as leg's day to try to kick
my own a## a bit more. Muscles felt good but again not quite the feeling (in my head)
that I wanted

Ended with the last 2 routines of abs, heavy, fast, great recovery but
despite the 3 hours wo I couldn't warn myself out like I wanted, which
I guess is good, I have now a bit of a crash actually but I did miss something today
couldn't explain what tho'..

My guess is temperature. It's much colder than last week and
I guess my body needs to adapt, meantime, I get paranoid because
no matter what I do i just cannot sweat!
I don't sweat easily and at the beginning of summer I have very hard
time the first weeks to get accustomed to the heat, but when i do everything's fine.
Same goes when the temp drops, I don't sweat and it seems I'm not pushing enough,
fortunately the next days DOMS remind me that I actually did it

So, anyway overall, good day, matched PR on deads, went up a bit on stiff leg deads,
full body stimulation and hit abs hard (never hard enough in my book but ok..)

The ramping strength increase of the last weeks might have left me
a bit tired, especially looking how long my last few sessions were.

Now it's time to think about refeed, I still don't know what to do/what I'm gonna have the time
to do, I'll update later on it and how Recompadrol will do

Thanks guys for following this

some products need to build up in the body. never thought recompadrol or other GDAs did they usually just activate the appropriate receptor.

in terms of fat loss though or vascularity it may take time due to your current low bodyfat, and it working via reduction of adipose tissue/ blocking of adipogenisis. There for those receptors in your body are probably very low bc your bodyfats low.

just a guess

Makes sense
but as I mentioned I'm not surprised, very few sups started to work
right away for me, which didn't necessarily mean they were better than others.
With BF this low being able to gain and get leaner is a great result, so far
I was only able to do one OR the other. Happy times

Man your deadlift day would kill me lol.

If I pulled that much then squatted I'd probably blow my back and then get smashed by the weights on the bar lol.

Good job in killin it!

Thanks man

Well yes, that wo is quite heavy for me as well;
funny thing is it kinda evolved during time, at first it was deadlift and abs only,
but then I wanted to do front squats twice a week instead of just on legs day
(i think it's a great full-body stimulation exercise) and deadlift day seemed the
logic choice. Started to do regular squats to warm up for that, but the session
were too short still, plus I started to get used and so on.. and this is how it ended up,
a full body destruction day, with priority to deadlift tho'

Report PWO:
despite my initial pwo feeling of not killing it enough,
as soon as I stopped typing and stood up from the chair
DOMS and soreness clearly told me that the wo was instead
well done.
For the first time since this stack I really felt beat up after the wo
for the next 4/6 hours, like dead.. but still in a great mood.
Energy tho' kinda started to slowly come back up after about 6 hours
and I was pretty ok after my first lil meal at 7.40pm with my last dose
of E-bol and Recompadrol.

I'm still amazed on how long energy last with Lit-Up
I can also confirm that dosing E-bol prewo with fish oil
makes it much better

Unfortunately I had no time to cook nor had anything edible really
at home for a refeed (unless I wanted to chew on 80gr of dry oats..)
and I use refeed also for sanity: i want something I enjoy eating ya know?..
But most important I didn't feel hungry enough today to do it and I always
follow my instinct and what my body feels like, I never force-feed myself

So diet stays the same, I just had a couple of teaspoon of PB and kept everything
else the same.
I'm planning on getting some more PB on my last meal with 2cps of Recompadrol,
just to give my body enough cals and nutrients because between yesterday, today and tomorrow
the workouts are crazy intense and I went up with weights quite a bit and also length of the sessions.

I don't think I'll refeed this week then, but I'll see on leg day how I feel, if I'm hungry I know
I can boost cals a bit.

Recompadrol is doing his magic, I'm today able to say this product is pretty amazing,
I look wired really, everywhere, striations on my delts are more visible, veins too (for me
means the lil tiny ones, main veins look just gross for the general population lol)
This product is shredding me despite my calorie intake is roughly +200 then before
which has also a great effect on my mood because I'm able to eat just a bit more,
but it's really more than enough for me to feel full and satisfied every meal.

Recompadrol seems actually to work as a very effective fat burner, and I do feel
more energy after my meals.
My first meal (6/7pm) is when I take E-bol AND Recompadrol together, the only time, and after that meal
I just feel brand new (not much food really, a chicken sandwich, a thin no carb protein pancake,
greek yogurt w/whey and cottage cheese).
The next 2 meals I only take 1cps of Recompadrol and I still can feel very energetic after it,
so this tells me that A) they work well together, B) Recompadrol as standalone really seem
to put the food to use while getting rid not only of fat but water too.

A couple of days ago I mentioned that my skin felt "thicker", well I don't know what was going on
but now it feels and look thinner than before, I guess whatever was doing it needed few days to
perform the recomp.
Overall, I'm very very happy with it, actually very happy with these three supplements,
in my book this is the best I've ever run.

That's why I wanna try 2cps of Recompadrol! I'm kinda pissed about the refeed because
I really wanted to see what was gonna happen, but hey, I have two bottles for a total amount
of 360caps yayy next time, it seemed stupid to force-feed myself because of that.
I learned long time ago to listen to my body.

Anyway, on a side note, I started to use transdermal Magnesium Oil tonight (adrenal fatigue,
these last days thank to this stack I've been able to cut the caffeine completely 'cept for my
morning coffee, so I wanna take a break from stims after this second tub of Lit-Up which is not
heavy on stims anyway), holy sh#t that stuff burns on the skin!
But it's good stuff, I'll be using it from now as long as money allows

adrenal fatigue man that sucks.

when i was tired i found i had lower t3 and GH levels.

Yeah it sucks, but I went thru a pretty rough period not long ago,
pair that with extreme lifting, long term calorie deficit and heavy foot on
stims (read I was forcing myself to go on and on..) and there you have it.

This is also why I'm liking this stack so much, specifically E-bol about this
because it just skyrocketed my mood, I've been feeling so much better
since I started this run that I have hard time believing this is legal lol (happy nonetheless)

Magnesium oil - thank you andrew732 - naturally raises DHEA which is shown to help
with adrenal fatigue on top of many other benefits for a stressed body (and mind) like mine
Placebo effect of course (because way too soon), but I had a nice feeling right away when I put the first dose on.
That and taking a break from stims will hopefully help

Altho, I wanna have my test level checked.. If i'm low, I might consider TRT,
I'm not so young anymore

I actually have some mag oil on the way.
Dude 3hr workouts? Dang man I don't even have enough time for my 1.5hr ones every other day lol. You definitely have a LOT more commitment than I do lol.

Recompadrol doing magic eh? Thinking I should look into the ingredients. Maybe make something similar with some raws....

Ja, I wake up pretty early in the morning to be able to do so,
was very hard at first, now i'm used to it

Recompadrol profile is good, I got interested in it at first because of its ingredients

Today's WO

One of my fav, traps/shoulder.
I just love to destroy my traps, I can't help it
the more the pain the better I feel with those.

Let's get to it

Traps
Warm up 4 sets of BB shrugs, mixed grips, narrow, wide, front and back etc

New PR (again!) on BB shrugs
5 sets were planned, 12/10/8/6, lifting felt very easy, I added weight to every set
and did a 6th set, new PR, 4 reps.
Bunch of supersets, I thinkt they were 3 or 4 I just went on till
my traps were bursting to flame

DB shrugs, 4 sets, went up with weights on these as well
seated weighted dips superset, 20kg/15kg/10kg/5kg/no weight to failure

Vertical bb row, heavy and slow, 4 sets 12/10/8/6 + superset

3 x seated bb shrug isometric (30sec, drop 2 plates, 30sec.. etc..), increased load on these
as well, seated bb shrug superset from narrow to wide grip, 10/10/10/failure

Shouders time

DB shoulder press 4 sets, heavy, added weights to all the sets
Seated side DB lateral raises superset (stiff arm), to failure
Front DB raises superset (alternate arms), to failure

Ez bar front raises 3 sets 20/15/12

1arm db lateral raises, 3 sets 12/10/8 + 1arm cable lateral raises to failure
at the end of each set

BB shoulder press, 3 sets 12/10/8 + 2 superset

RECOVERY AND MOOD

This is wort mentioning today, my mood was pretty sh#tty,
I didn't have much in the way of that positive aggression
that I had the past days, I was kinda "meh" the whole time,
and yet I think *because* of that I swear I didn't rest more than ONE minute
between sets thru the whole wo.
I just kept hitting and hitting, machine-like, but concentration was intense,
I was very focused and the results speak for themselves, new PR, went up with weights
a lot, recovery was insane.. Just my attempt to give a flyin' @$## about everything
failed.

This has probably something to do with a bad body dysmorphic day,
I freakin' hate how I look today for some reason, when I'm like this, there's no logic,
no data, no objectivity in me anymore until it passes (it could last quite some time, it did in past)

Lit-Up/E-bol

What to say, I keep breaking PR, my recovery is hard to believe and
my strength goes up day by day. 'nuff said I think.

Recompadrol

Like I said i hate my own body today, but that's my psychosis taking over,
it's normal, it has really very lil to do with my actual look.
Yesterday I didn't refeed and I didn't boost cals either, just that 2tsp of PB,
and took the same dose of Recompadrol.
A difference I'm noticing between this and Glycobol tho' is Recompadrol
seems to have more of a fat burner effect on me, regardless of what I eat,
its effects seems to be less bonded to food choices, at least for my diet,
while Glycobol's effects are definitely more related with what I eat, and when
I dose it, Glyco gives me food pumps withing minutes after ingestion,
Recompadrol makes me more energetic after a meal.
In my book, while they're both GDA they are deeply different

I have to try to get my head straight now because when I feel like today
I stop eating till I feel better and I don't want to lose the lil gain that I made
these last days :/

I'm just happy wo was killer today

you feel ****ty because you need to have that little caloric boost.

wear and tear on your body may say your not hungry probably from higher stress levels of increased volume and decreased food.

id recommend a very large post workout meal, that taste sweet on your palate but not heavy in carbs like your cheese cake.

maybe make a PB, granola, yogurt and honey mix with some berries to kick it up.

 

[R1balla]

i actually prefer cherry citrus vs peach tea

Eh, I know, truth is I'm a bit obsessive. Been trying to get over this for years now
I start to lose hope. I'll think about it on Thu after leg's day and see how I feel

i actually prefer cherry citrus vs peach tea

Me too, don't get me wrong, I love Peach, but I think cherry became and acquired taste and now
I love it.
I don't know if you read one of my previous posts but if you never tried it before: mix one scoop Peach w/ 1 scoop Cherry,
I swear to gods that's just awesome! I did it because I had just one scoop left of cherry when opened the peach few days ago
and i mix them up, I was "omg this is good!"
Lit-Up gets all my love man

 

[ssbackwards]

just do it,

i had a ton of sushi and a pint of icecream with heath bar butterfinger and reeses peices, then pecan/cashew butter then a lil protein cheesecake.

veins up my abs.
