BLACK LION RESEARCH TRANSDERMAL

[EMPIREMIND]

I keep my cals at about 4500ish approx and I dont alter calories at all unless Im stuck. I only change the ratio of carbs to protein and fat.
If I get stuck Ill drop 500 cals from mostly carbs and then fat. Protein is kept at 400g
I do 6 meals and min 1 gal water per day.
Also I dont normally do cardio so at this time Ill slowly begin to introduce cardio. THe combo of cardio with no carbs half the week shreds off fat so quickly its insane.

Yea thats pretty legit. Definitely fueling the machine at 4500. I have done pretty much of a similar setup but with a smaller amount of cals. Just havent cut the carbs and i think thats part of the problem.

I really meant no AAS.

Its MUCH easier to get into shape with test, tren, mast, win.

I am starting to see some striations in my traps as well, this is definitely a first. These small i am noticing are slight, and the beginnings of whats to come, but they are changes i have yet to see.

I also experienced a dry nose last night. I went to wipe what i thought to be a runny nose and it was a little blood. I will have to start putting some vaseline to keep hydrated. This was after my cardio, maybe i needed more water.

 

[brundel]

Your the second person to mention dry nose.
Your drinking 1.5 gal water right? Should be enough. None of the ingredients cause this specifically so it must be extreme drying?

Yea my hydration is on point, maybe i need to add more. I run creatine as a staple almost year round. At an average of 5 grams on training days

 

[brundel]

I get nosebleeds when Im really dry.
Must be really drying you out. Im surprised its still doing this with all that water. At least you know its working lol.

I have also had a bloody nose like three times now. I get them a lot when I am hiking in AZ. I did not think anything of it!

Your running the oral though right?
The good news is this makes it even more likely its dehydration because they are totally different ingredients

Another great day of training. I hit presses the day before as well, so a ton of volume. My joint pains have dissipated, so that is great news. I havent had any issues with it and im happy. Especially since before i felt the pain in my elbows. After hitting tris, chest and shoulders with no pain, id say im good to go.

Yea somewhere around there. The pumps started getting a little smaller too, so ive been compensating.

Yessir. Its a very hard thing to maintain though. I find my food manipulation has been vital to making it possible. Definitely nnot easy

 

[brundel]

Once the pump slows you can turn the bottle over and pour out doses. you can also try slightly pulling the straw part of the pump down.
Its pushed into the pump top but can be removed. You can likely pull it a few mm down and itll pump again.

verything in sight.

Please don't add it in the current formula & kill the appetite suppression effects reported earlier (Big guys with huge appetite need to cut with ease as well )

ANW,
Sounds like a crazy recomp product so far...Very impressed...

Wanting to eat is not my problem...............

 

[jxv]

Wanting to eat is not my problem...............

I have no problem consuming large amount of calories and that is actually a problem for me lol
I maintain at around 4K kcals and most of the time i feel hungry even with all that fiber/protein/carbs/fats ...

Every like 7-10 days i might go on extremes and consume 8-10k kcals easily ...lol but during that day i might eat 200g fish+red cabbage+10g olive oil 6times just to consume the remainder 6-8kcals junk cals with minimal cost)

Im almost 250lbs now , about 25% bf (trying to cut ) 6ft ...(Never used aas/phs)

 

[jdg76]

Pffftt I have a hard time getting over 3000k !! And I'm 204lbs.
