Hey guys, starting a log separate from my other thread where i was asking questions.

Info:

as of last saturday (9/5), I am 3 weeks out from my first comp that i may end up not doing because i am out of money and 5 weeks out from the second comp that i will do no matter what.

testing bodyfat either today or tomorrow with 7 point test hopefully so i will post that tomorrow as well as some pics so i and you guys can see how the cycle as well as my diet worked.

here is what i will be doing:

clen:

starting yesterday (9/6) liquid suspension clen: 20mcg upon waking/20mcg4hrs later.

--some notes right off: i got way jittery and slightly warmer about 45min after first dose. wore off in about 4 hrs so i took another dose. i'll start with this for a couple/few days then start bumping up the dose slowly to three times a day if i can handle it to about 60mcg. i hear that you shouldnt go above 200mcg and that 60-120mcg is a normal dose. i was jacked on just 40mcg a day prob because i am low on bodyfat already! we will see. i am going to push the dose as much as i can handle.

incidently i also started to take ritalin 3 weeks ago for my ADD and it has a slightly similar effect as clen i have noticed when i first take it so that may be part of why i was so jacked on only 40mcg. ritalin does not interfere/have the same pathway as clen from what i have read (ritalin is a dopamine re-uptake enhancer) so they wont compete.

i dont have a thermometer that works (the one i measured my temp with for a week before to get a baseline said i was 94.1 every morning!) so my temps will be off, but since i have a baseline, i may just use that thermometer allthe way through. sopefully its off by 3 degrees all the way through its range.

my blood pressure is around 110/71. as of two weeks ago at the doctors office for a physical. unfortunately i dont have a blood pressure monitor i can use. may go into the doctor halfway through to check levels. any suggestions for a cheap one?

clen will be run for 3 weeks, then i will run benadryl for 5 days or until temp goes down to previous baseline then continue through 5 weeks until show. any suggestions on if i need to stop a certain time prior to a show?



Letro info:

got the transdermal formestane from nutra planet. running that starting at 1 pump in morning/1 pump at night (25mg 4-hydroxyandrostenedione per pump) for 3 days, then 2 pumps morning/2 pumps night (100mg/day) throught until show. if i dont have any left to taper off of it, i will take a nolva/clomind liquid suspension mixture at 10mg nolva/50mg clomid and run a pct. yeah its not the best ratio, but its what i have and i dont have any money to buy more. need help with this. i know how to dose for pct of prohormone cycle, but i have never tried form before so i have no idea how much to use.

Drop the 93% for fish. Tuna, tilapia whatever. Drop the drugs for the money. The food will get you much further and with the 93% being "ok" using the drugs with it im thinking youre breaking even/wasting some.

Clen at 40mcgs a day is not much. Sides are a reality and something youll have to deal with. i would run it, 40/60/80/100/off/off then repeat. Blood pressure monitors are soemtimes located in Walgreens useable for free. Pop in once in awhile and do it if you can. Also, the epehdra may be adding to the high blood pressure although clen is prolly more so the culprit.

I would switch the veggie oil for olive oil.(see recent thread in supp. article section)

I think you should push your 5:15am carbs to 11am so its a bit closer to your workout for the energy and drop the preWO thermo supp. in turn of upping clen dose.
Change clen to 5am and 3pm. I usually only dose once a day. The sides may hit harder but it has a 38hr half life anyway. So its still a ton in your system just less harsh sides i guess. I could sleep on clen so it wasnt a big deal for me to dose at 6pm and sleep. Also, closer to your workout it may be more effective.

Goodluck those are just some of my thoughts. Its a huge time consuming learning experience. Just gotta log everything here or personal book and adjust it for next time.

yeah for sure bro! ha i am definately learning!

i wish i could afford fish, i had to go to just chicken instead of beef because i can get it way cheap in 40lb boxes from a friend who owns a restaurant supply store. is that ok?

by drugs do you mean glutamine/creatine/taurine? i have big tubs of them that i am just using up because i bought them by the kilo way back when.

i actually love the jacked feeling clen gives me ha i do pretty hard manual labor type jobs and it gives me energy so i like the sides!

i will do carbs at 11am then. that sounds like a way better idea. i am pretty weak in the gym now as it is!

i think the big reaction i had on sunday was from taking my ritalin inbetween breakfast and my first meal. usually i have something in my stomach when i take it. when i took the same dose yesterday i didnt even notice the clen. i did 20mcg in the morning, 20 at 9am and 20 at 2pm so it would hit during my workout. the only one i slightly felt was the one before my workout. definately going to bump the dosage up more.

i stopped taking those preworkout deals last week so i will just stay off them!

how does 30mcg at 5am and 30 at 3pm sound for tomorrow?

is the 40/60/80/100/off/off weeks or days? if days do i just stay off on the 7th day? i am 5 weeks out from my contest so if this is weeks you are saying i should lay off the last week?

thanks for the help bro and sorry for all the questions ha i am shooting in the dark at the moment!:happysad:

Look at me, rocketman. I am still subbed to this thread. And also... Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them if you did, rocketman.

hey thanks man! haha well good luck with it lol! it definately gets you jacked! but i didnt have any issues that i could see having to do with the heart, my bp was elevated but still within normal/what you wouuld expect. i didnt get any extra bloody noses or feel like you feel when your bp is way elevated. this was all while i was up around 160-180mcg (for some reason it takes very large doses of stimulants/thermogenics for me to start feeling it! i used to take 600mg caffine before workout and feel just slightly more energetic!).

also, i forgot to mention at the beginning of the thread that when i started cutting for the show, i weighed in at a large 230lbs. so rolling into this show, i lost something like 70lbs over the course of 24 weeks.
