hmmm, I looked through all my supplements and the only thing I could find with a significant amount of potassium is within my weight gainer. Each serving I drink is around 3500mgs of potassium. Other than that, I don't know how else I'm getting those levels unless it's from eating/drinking a lot of dairy. I also eat a lot of meats.
Thanks for the info!
Day 12 (no weight gain):
DAMNIT, No weight gain today.. This is driving me crazy.. I will honestly be 10lbs up at night, and then back down almost 5lbs in the morning, ughhh.. I'm gonna start forcing more weight gainer down the hatch, hah. Looking forward to my workout later tonight, can't wait to blast my body. Will post the results later tonight
That's right. Weigh yourself naked first thing in the morning after you have gotten up (and after the toilet) before drinking or eating anything. This will give you the truest indication of what your weight is. As said, your weight will fluctuate during the day, depending on training, water and food (and type of food) intake.
I wouldn't recommend taking Saw Palmetto, as it is an inhibitor of your ENDOgenous DHT production, which is not good for muscle building or performance in general. Since The ONE is an EXOgenous hormone it won't affect conversion to DHT, but it CAN potentially inhibit gains.
You're dosing all 3 caps at once. You could try splitting your dosage up, and dose 2 caps at 9am and 1 cap at 1pm, and see how that goes; that should eliminate the 'lethary' effect. I don't think that you need to increase your dosage to 4 caps, as that is mor for the heavier guys (most who have gone from 3 to 4 caps daily have gone back down to 3 caps).
.. My Thursday routine went well, I made some gains in almost every lift. Also, every lift felt very strong, except for my flat dumbbell bench, my chest seemed to be tightening up/cramping really easily, I'm gonna have to figure out how to avoid that next time.. Anyway, here are the results. Enjoy!
.. As far as shut-down or sides, haven't really noticed any besides minor acne due to increased oil production on my face (which was pretty much expected). Everything else has been A OK
I don't believe so. Trust me man, since I've started, I've been more than dedicated. It was my decision, and I significantly weighed the pros and cons.
Depends what you are running for PCT. If you're using 2nd GEAR, start that the day AFTER you have your last dose of The ONE. All the basic staples (i.e. multivitamin, antioxidant, creatine, good fats, etc.) you should be using right through on-cycle AND in PCT. If you are planning on using Drive for PCT them I recommend beginning using it at the start of your last week of The ONE cycle, as it takes 7-10 days to kick in. If you're running any other testosterone boosters, then you can start either the day after your last dose of The ONE, or during the last week of your cycle.
Great third week review :thumbsup:Third Week Review:
Diet - My calories have been from 3700-4200 calories, which is around 800-1000calories more than I've been taking in the past few months.
Training - training has been great. I have consistently made gains in the amount of weight I have been pressing. Each workout as been around 1 hr and 20min, which I know is a bit longer than you're supposed to train, but I have felt good throughout each workout with a great sense of accomplishment.
Body composition and Look - Friends (who are following this log and that I train with) have told me that I look considerately larger than in my pre-cycle pictures. I also feel bigger and look bigger IMO. I mean, I better, I've gained almost 10lbs! hah.
Muscle Hardness - Muscle hardness has definitely increased; some of my muscles feel like bricks to the touch, I love it! hah
Vascularity - Same level of vascularity as before, definitely a bit more than normal. The pumps are also great. Nothing TOO insane.
Strength - As previously stated, my strength has definitely and noticeable gone up. Again, I am sure it would go up A LOT more if I was doing strength training, but I am currently doing volume training for size, but I believe my strength has gone up significantly for not even lifting for strength. Nothing wrong with that!
Speed - Again, I haven't been running at all, so I have no idea. But, the other night I chased after a friend in his car, I sprinted for about 100 meters, and right after a bunch of my friends said "woah, you're really fast dude" and honestly, sprinting felt GREAT! I felt VERY strong/solid, like a machine.
Co-ordination - Haven't really noticed much in the co-ordination area, but then again, I haven't really been looking/testing for a change in co-ordination, so I am not sure.
Quality of Training - A+ for sure. Training has been consistently great. I am really going to miss being on 'the one.'
Mood/Aggression - Honestly, I haven't been in such a consistently positive, great mood like this in a very long time. No ups and downs, no roller coaster. I have felt great 24/7. I have been focused, relaxed and on point.
Libido - My libido is still great, don't need to worry about that
Joints - My joints haven't really posed any problems; I also increased my fish oil dosages and have been feeling great (also still taking cissus).
Overall Sense of Feeling (to include mention of any shut-down or sides) - A+ .. I am really going to miss being on 'the one,' I really hope I feel this good mentally following the cycle. Maybe I have found a new level of confidence within myself? One can only hope
You seem to echo this statement on a lot of people's logs. People are gonna use the supplements that are available to them ready or not. This guy seems ahead of the game compared to a lot of people running DS on this forum.
Log looks good bro, keep up the good work. You dosing taurine at all? 10g+ a day helps me keep the back pumps at bay.
There is a bit of taurine in some of the supplements I am taking, but I haven't supplemented it straight. So it's helping you keep your pump longer? or are you speaking in regards to back pain? Sry man, I get confused easily sometimes.. hah
I second this.
**** that **** i want em now!Soon
Understand about the school thing; get your priorities done first; the log is always here.Day 31 (+10.5lbs):
WOW! Looks like the end of this cycle is just around the corner (next week to be exact). I'd have to say that time has REALLY gone by rather quickly. I am currently up 10.5lbs dry; but by the end of the day can be anywhere from 10 to 16lbs up, but I mean, everyone is heavier at the end of the day haha. What can I say? My GOAL since I started lifting was to hit 185lbs (I started, almost 3 years ago now, at 120-125lbs). As of right now, I am weighing in at around 181lbs. That is only 4lbs away from a goal I have been striving to meet for years now! Honestly, I can't see myself losing any of the gains I made on 'the one'.. I REALLY increased my diet and consistency in eating and I really think it's all gonna stick. In all reality, I believe I am actually going to continue to gain while on PCT. As far as my workouts for the past few days, I haven't posted them because a) I have been extremely caught up in school, and b) all my lifts are around the same (up 0-3lbs), and overall stronger with better form, etc. As each day goes on, I can really notice that my lifts are even stronger/more solid than the week before, I love it!
Come next week, I will have my post-cycle / pre-pct bloodwork done, as well as post-cycle pictures taken, etc. Again, just so everyone knows, I was using this cycle for bulking, definitely not for cutting.. Not any excuse or anything, because I definitely have more abs than before
Just checking; yea I assumed it was a bit of overkill, haha.. Do you think it would help further sustain (no pun intended) any gains/results? I also have slightly thinning hair (had this before starting 'the one'), so I'd like to see what Toco-8 could do for me.
I would say it is a fine addition to your PCT. Not something I would say you HAVE to do, as Easy is right, but it definitely isn't something that is going to hinder your recovery, in fact it will probably speed it up a bit.Quick question for AN reps.. looks like I might be getting hooked up with a Toco-8 / Sustain Alpha combo.. would this be alright to run alongside PCT? I am sure the Toco-8 would be fine, just wondering about the Sustain. Plz let me know, thanks
You know what, I still haven't taken my 3rd cap of the one for today. I could always save it, so that means today I will have had only 2 caps of the one, but will have 2 caps for tomorrow also. Then wed, after the blood work, I can start my PCT (in the AM). As far as my after pictures, I might just take them/post them tomorrow night instead.
Awesome, thanks
Do your PCT right, and you can ADD to your gains!Day 36 (Final Day on The One):
Well, that day has come.. My last day on 'The One'
Although I have only gained a dry 10.5lbs, I have a feeling I am finally about to pack on a few more...
It shouldn't be detrimental, but as Eric said, a bit of overkill. Perhaps save it for when PCT is over.Quick question for AN reps.. looks like I might be getting hooked up with a Toco-8 / Sustain Alpha combo.. would this be alright to run alongside PCT?

You could do as Eric suggested, but yuo'll also be fine if you wanted to start your PCT tomorrow; your hormones won't fluctuate that much (if any) within 1 day.
I think I will add in the Toco-8 / Alpha Sustain combo once I am a bit into the PCT (not right off the bat). As far as 'the one' dosing, I am about to leave for the gym right now, so it looks like I will keep the dose at only 2 caps today, and then 2 caps tomorrow. Starting my PCT wed morning (right after my blood work). I am pretty excitedDo your PCT right, and you can ADD to your gains!

Wow, Noah. A definite difference in your upper body for sure: chest is wider and thicker; traps are a lot bigger and thicker; delts have gained size; back is thicker as well. Not a lot of change in legs. But yeah, looking from 'before' to 'after' upper body, you went from almost looking scrawny to looking think and full :thumbsup:Alright, ladies and gentlemen, here is what we've been all waiting for, and after reviewing the pictures myself, I was happy to actually be able to see the gains I made within the pictures! Looking at myself everyday in the mirror, it was hard trying to tell if I was getting any bigger or not, but now after comparing the befores (on the 1st page) and afters, I know I have. I'm stoked :beerchug:
