So u do the whole 60 pre workout

Just started with the 60, but yes, all pre. I haven't been able to make it in this week, but this weekend will be going full 60 pre again.

[JudoJosh]

Isn't it recomended to take half pre and half post? I forget the training behind it just remember reading it at some point

Day 30-33: 12/1-4/2009

On travel with family, diet ain't so great...

[Milas]

Day 34: Saturday 12/5/2009 60mg

Bumped up to 60mg Epi, all taken pre-workout with 6g fishoil at 8AM, then work out at 9AM. Different gym, so equipment took some adjustment for weights, etc.

Incline Smith Press: 210 x 4/2/2 (+10lbs)
Smith Military Press: 160 x 5/3/2
Chinups: 20 (-1 rep)
Cable Row: 255 x 8/4/3 (+5lbs)
Reverse Grip Smith Bench: 210 x 3; 200 x 4/4/2
DB Flys: 50 x 8/4/4

Extreme stretching chest, triceps, back

Got back and took PWO shake (30g hydro protein, 50g carbs).

Strength: felt weak today, couldn't up the weight or reps at all
Bodyweight/Body Comp: hovering around 199/200 (+4-5lbs)
Pumps/Vascularity: strong pumps in gym
Endurance: normal
Aggression: normal
Libido: normal (which is up)
Muscle Density/Hardening: Feeling/looking good
Overall Energy: feeling fine

Personal Commentary: Tried the 60mg epi all pre again. No headaches this time, but no real extra gain here. I'll try it again and see. Overall a rough workout and not able to make the consistent gains this time.

Day 35: Sunday 12/6/2009

Day off, just sat around recovering from a cold... Beef stew, mmm.....

[Milas]

Day 36: Monday 12/7/2009 60mg

60mg epi pre workout with 50mg prostanozol at 8AM, then work out at 9AM. New gym, different equipment, etc.

Preacher Curl: 115 x 6/3/2 (-10lbs) bar felt heavier than standard 25lbs, new gym...
Hammer Curl: 65 x 8/4/4 (+5lbs)
Leg Press Calves: 540 x 8/5/4 (+90lbs) started to really hurt ankle with hold at eccentric
Sitting Leg Curl: 200 x 8/6/4 (+10lbs)
Leg Press: 720 x 10; 540 x 20

Extreme stretching quads, hamstrings, biceps

Got back and took PWO shake (30g hydro protein, 50g carbs), 50mg prostanozol.

Strength: weak on preacher curl, felt real heavy today. Legs held at 720lbs, but not stellar
Bodyweight/Body Comp: more muscular, wife definitely notices
Pumps/Vascularity: normal pump
Endurance: normal
Aggression: normal
Libido: normal (up)
Muscle Density/Hardening: feeling pretty solid
Overall Energy: feeling fine

Personal Commentary: trying to add some prostanozol to help lean out, we'll see how that goes. I'm going to try to get some blood work this Thursday to see where I'm at. Probably start PCT in a couple weeks, only 3-4 doses of Epi left...

Yeah, I believe it was recommended but couldn't figure out why. Perhaps too much compound and there aren't enough receptors all at once? I haven't had any good answers other than "you're supposed to".

[mtho68]

did you end up taking 6-bromo? or just cut out atd?

[Milas]

Swapped out the ATD for 6 bromo. The difference in libido is noticeable. Really, I'm not too sure the AI made much of an impact.

[Milas]

Finished the cycle yesterday. I'll be posting after pics up this weekend with measurements.

Bloodwork should be up this weekend too.

PCT beginning with Purus Recycle.

[JudoJosh]

are you running soley purus for PCT?

[crowpass]

Sub. nice log.

[Milas]

are you running soley purus for PCT?

I'll know for sure when I see my bloodwork, but I'm guessing that's all I'll need.

I'm adding in CL Blue Gene. I like that one for joints and good feeling, little cortisol control, and I think I'll use that between cycles now on. I've read it helps regulate hormones, which would be great too.

[Milas]

Okay, so finished out the cycle with 3 days at 50mg, 40 pre and 10 post. The split dose was actually better for me than all pre.

I posted updated before/after pics on page 1.

measurements (with change):

Left Bicep: 15" (+1)
Right Bicep: 15" (+1)
Chest: 42" (+2)
Waist: 34" (+0)
Left Thigh: 24" (+1.5)
Right Thigh: 24.5" (+1)
Left Calf: 15.5" (+.5")
Right Calf: 16" (+0)

Weight: 201lbs (+6)

bf%: 12.1% (about same, maybe less)

Lifts:

DB Bench Press: 115lbs (+15lbs each side)
Incline Smith Press: 220 (+40)

DB Military Press: 80lbs (+10lbs each side)
Smith Military: 180 (+40)

Pull Down: 255 (+35)
Deadlift: 425 (+60)
Cable Row: 270 (+40)
Barbell Row: 215 (+30)

Skull Crusher: 125 (+10)
Close Grip Bench: 210 (+30)

Barbell Curl: 135 (+20)
Reverse Bbell Curl: 105 (+10)

Squats: 365 (+50)
Hack Squat: 500 (+180)
Leg Press: 720 (+90)

Blood work hasn't come in yet.

Into my third workout PCT, and so far strength has remained and continues to improve slightly. Seems maintainable, and no sides to report throughtout the entire cycle other than little acne. Libido is normal, as is everything else.

All in all, it's just what I was expecting. I wanted noticeable increases, but nothing crazy. Wife and others notice I'm more muscular, but nothing too out of the ordinary. It gave me the boost I needed to get past plateaus.

Bottom Line: Pulse = mild gains and no sides

[mtho68]

Thanks! The cycle felt good, and still feeling strong after workout today. Set some new PR's. Only using Purus ReCycle and Controlled Labs Blue Gene for PCT.

Thanks, me too. The doc hasn't reviewed it yet, and he's off today and tomorrow. Sooo... waiting.

Thanks, hope it was a good log. First time for me. Any suggestions for improvement?

Nope, good log. Some logs have far to much BS. Personally I just want the facts. Bloodwork is not something you see very often. From what I hear Epi will affect lipids as do most other PH's.
