Still consistently logging, good job!!

Yeah, I noticed very few people have ran m-sten and epi within one cycle so I decided itd be a good idea to keep a detailed log.

[hazard12]

Day 33: Back/Bicep
Superset:
1.Chin ups 200x8 200x8 200x7
2.Behind the neck Lat pulldown 150x6 150x5 150x4

Dbell row: 80x10 80x10 80x8
Bent over bbell row 155x11 155x10 155x11
Lat cross 110x13 110x10 110x10
Standing dbell curls 35x13 35x12
Shoulder side raises 15x13 3 sets

Deloaded for back aswell. I felt really weird at the gym kind of tired/ wrong mood. All my tendons felt really tight which I think happened cause it was a particularly cold day.

[hazard12]

Day 37: Leg/abs
Deadlift 255x12 255x9
Leg press 6 plates x12 slow reps 4 sets
Leg extension 115x9 slow 4 sets
Obliques 50x12 60x12 60x12 60x12
Squat rack calfs 185x12 255x10 255x12 255x12
Crunchesx burn 4 sets

I went in with the legs. My strength was fine but my lower back gave out after 2 sets of deadlifts. At this point my tendons and joints are feeling pretty fragile im guessing from the estrogen bolcking effect of epistane. I might get some DHEA to try to fix it.

[hazard12]

My pecs tendons feel stiff even though its been reating for a while. How should i figure if its good to go?

[hazard12]

Day 38: Chest/Shoulder/Tricep
Cable cross over: 60lbx12 slow reps 4 sets
Incline press: 85lbx10 slow reps 4 sets
Standing barbell shoulder press: 115x8 3 sets
Seated dbell shoulder press: 50x8 3 sets
Cable tricep overhead extension: 120x15 3 sets
Machine lateral raises: 70xburn 4 sets
Triangle cable tricep extension: 170x12 3 sets

I barely could do any chest, my left pec tendon, the one inserting into my shoulder felt really stiff and painful when applying force (really weird to me since last chest workout went just fine). Also my body in general feels really bad whenever I hit the gym lately. Its a lot like all my tendons are getting really stressed and not healing properly even though I haven't pushed the weight that hard at all.
Im considering lowering the epi dose and adding something else until i finish the 8 week period. Anyone know of a compound that would kick in quick to make it worth it and would help in this particular situation (with the tendons and all). I was considering LMG or trest but Im not sure if they kick in fast enough.

[hazard12]

Note:
Even though many things arent going too well one thing is...my libido. I find myself attracted to almost any girl in my school (i know its just me trynna get it in tho). I even started talking to an ex ****buddy that i completely stopped talking to ( she cray cray). Oh well theres only one thing to do about it...

Epi is drying your joints out. If you want to run epi it's one of the things you have to live with. Not much you can do about it really other than take something like Achilles, along with fish oils etc etc

[hazard12]

I am taking over 6g a day of fish oils and 3g of cissus a day.

[hazard12]

Day 41: Back/Bicep
Lat cross :130x12 145x9 160x8 160x7 160x7

Lat pulldown slow reps
150x8 150x6
Bbell Upright row: 85x15 4 sets
Z bar preacher curl: 75x10 x11 x9

Megaset:
One arm upright row: 35x10
Side raises: 15x20
Shrugs: 50x15
Dbell upright rows 40x8

Great workout. My arms/back felt really strong and pumped. My joints are still having some troubles. My diet is paying off. Ive managed to see a very defined recomp in my physique. Ive gotten a bit leaner while putting on some good thickness, especially in my shoulders/arms section.

[drewsicle3210]

Good update, I am glad it is working out for you.

[hazard12]

Good update, I am glad it is working out for you.

Thanks bro. Theres definitely a bunch of things that arent going as planned and will definitely take into consideration for future cycles, namely:
1. If i ever do get my hands on another source of gear ill test it 2 weeks prior to the beggining of my cycle for retarded pip.
2. When running epi, ill stack it with a wet compound (been thinking trest) and not go beyond 40mg epi/day (ran that before and had no joint issues).
3. Run M-sten again and take full advantage by making sure I can do legs during that period. (so far i can say i loved m-sten).
4. Repair my joints thoroughly before starting since every little tendon/joint issue i previously had was worsened by the cycle training.
5. Stick to cycle support (no problems at all with liver/bp/livido/etc..).
6. Make sure my living situation is more stable (in the middle of moving and stuff which has cause my diet to include a lot of less than optimal foods like pizza).

[hazard12]

Day 44: Legs/abs
Squats 125x15 2 sets
Leg press 4platesx12 6x12 8x12 10x10 10x10

Deadlift 125x12 2 sets
Squat rack calf raise 125x25
215x15 215x20 215x20
Crunches burnx3 sets

Legs are getting better. My lower back is still struggling.

Keeping my cals at around 3200 on rest days and 3500 on workout days. Its giving me a nice recomp effect. Always getting 300g+ protein a day.

[hazard12]

Day 45: Chest/shoulder/triceps
Decline Bench:135x15 2 sets 185x12 205x9 205x9 205x6
Incline bench : 155x8 185x10 185x8
185x8

Machine side raises 50xburn 4 sets
Cable overhead Triceps extension: 110x20 130x12 140x11 140x10

My chest felt fine untill the end when the tendon started to feel tight again. My right shoulder joint also felt really off which is why I stopped at 2 sets of shoulder lepress.

The recomp is going pretty well Ive managed to stay at 178ish while getting leaner. Still have about a week left and hopefully my tendons will let me get it done.

[hazard12]

Note:
PCT inquiries:
I have CJC1295-dac 2mg x3 and ghrp-6 5mgx3 coming in a bit. I was wondering if i should run the peptides during my PCT with the clomid/torem, osta and DAA or wait untill after the PCT and run them with an OTC AI like erase and the DAA.
My goal for these peptides are to continue recomping my body and attempt to do some justice to my tendons/joints from the beating they are taking over my cycle. Im basically trying to figure out which way makes more sense.

[hazard12]

Day 47: Back n Bicep
Bentover Bbell row 155x10 205x10 205x10 205x10
Lat pulldown 180x10 180x9 180x9 180x9
Lat cross 120x10 140x10 140x9
Dbell bicep curl 25x15 35x10 40x7 35x10 25x13

Pretty good workout, my joints weren't nearly as stiff as yesterday for some reason. I did pull something in my trap/neck are while doing Bentover Bbell rows. My muscles felt like cramping a lot which i think had to do with my neck. Other than that im up to 179 still recomping.

[hazard12]

Day 51: Chest/Shoulder/Tricep
Dumbbell Bench press: 80x12 90x8 100x6 100x5

Reverse grip cable tricep extension: 150x16 170x10 170x10 170x10
Machine shoulder flies: 70xburn 4 sets
Triangle pushups: 1 burn set

Last chest workout on cycle. It felt good but my shoulders were bothering me a bit. My lower back is not doing all that well. Even for supporting purposes when im doing shoulder press i still feel some stabbing pain near the hip, not all that painful but definitely not ok. As of now Im waiting untill after I run all my PCT to run a peptides/RC cycle that I will also log.

I am pretty satisfied with the changes in my shoulders and triceps. However I am very annoyed with all the connective tissue problems ive had during this cycle and I plan to address these problems for future cycles. Pushing through every workout like you are an 80 year old with arthritis isnt my idea of fun.

[hazard12]

Day 52: Legs/abs
Leg press: 7 platesx12 9x12 11x12 12x11 12x10
Leg extension slow reps: 130x10 145x10 160x10 160x9

Obliques 40x25 50x20 45x20
Crunches 3 setsx burn

Decent workout. The gym was incredibly humid and hot. I sweat my entire pants literally.
This was my last leg day on cycle and frankly the whole injection issue ruined it for me. Yeah my legs got some thickness but i couldn't work on my squats/Deadlifts at all.
Sadly my lower back got worsened but im crossing my fingers that the peptide cycle coming up will help.

[hazard12]

Day 54: Back/shoulder/Biceps
Chin ups: 25x12 50x8 75x6 50x7

Dbell bicep curl: 30x14 35x9 40x8
Dbell upright row: 45x12 55x11 45x12
Machine side raises: 70xburn 2 set

Pretty good day at the gym. Last workout day on cycle. Im still taking the compounds untill sunday and start PCT this monday. As far as back/biceps goes in this cycle im very satisfied. My rear delts/arms got some good size and definition.

I weighted myself at 181lb. This is over 15 pounds above my initial weight and im pretty sure I also managed to cut some fat.

[hazard12]

PCT Day1: Rest
Started PCT on sunday night. Took 100mg clomid and 120mg torem plus 12.5mg osta right before going to bed. Ive been taking DAA for a couple days now and will try to keep it at 3g/day.
Note: My god these liquid ancilliaries taste like ****. The torem is a blue milky solution that tastes like hell n leaves a worst aftertaste.

Good to know. I've got liquid nolva and clomid for my upcoming cycle. Wasn't sure how it tastes. Do you just use an infant eye dropper to draw, and drop it in your mouth? Also, you don't have to refriderate them either correct?

[drewsicle3210]

Good job with this log bro.

[hazard12]

You dont refrigerate them, thats for reconstituted peptides. And yeah they come with a dropper.

[Aaron330]

What are you weighing? Have you kept most of your gains??

[hazard12]

Havent weighted myself yet my stregth is still up there.

[hazard12]

Im gonna go ahead and say: **** YESSS. I just got a vein pop in my lower ab area. Getting lean like some ****!!!!

[hazard12]

2 veins that popped on my calf...this is legit.

[hazard12]

PCT Note: I had a nose bleed overnight. No idea if its related to any compound or the fact that im off epi.

Side raise machine: 80xburn 4 sets
Seated pec (slow reps): 150x6 150x6

The best day ive had in the gym in years. My strength was through the roof. The reason for this (and I know this is going to be controversial and im probably going to get judged like some ****) is the fact that last friday after hitting the gym I took an LSD trip that had some really positive effects on me. Im not going to go much into detail unless someones interested but once it was over my CNS pretty much went through a reboot. I could keep my hands still, unlike the past 6+ years of my life. Today as I went through every set I could feel my muscles responding like never before. Even in between sets I felt a sense of calm and preparedness that had me geeking in the gym.

This is the only way I can explain how my strength spiked like this during the PCT. Also, several muscle pains that I used to have seem to have loosened up. Other than that my weight is still at 178-179, still looking lean like never before. My libido is suffering quite a bit but nothing that makes me worry. Other than that I dont have side effects to show for.

PD. The LSD thing has been a one time thing and was done with the sole purpose of experimenting and with some luck work through some emotional traumas, the physical effects that it had on me were completely unexpected but very welcomed.

[hazard12]

PCT day 10: Legs/abs
Leg press: 6x12 8x12 10x12 12x10 12x10 12x10

Standing dumbbell obliques: 40x20 55x15 55x20 55x15
Crunches 3 setsxburn

Decent day. My legs werent back at 100% but i need them again by friday so I decided to do legs anyways. My lower back is still an issue but im pushing through workouts untill im out of the PCT hormone slump.

[hazard12]

Note: I just realized i completely neglected to report the acne outbreak that started arising the last week on cycle. Its sstill there as of now but slowly fading. Its not too bad mainly on my shoulders.

[hazard12]

Note: This cycle has resulted in a very awesome bonus effect. I developed a bit of delayed gyno from my previous cycle. Throughout the epi part of my cycle, the gyno slowly dissapeared and is now gone including the lump and sensitivity. Im planning to extend my pct to prevent it from happening again. My idea is after the 4 weeks start with exemeatane ans taper off over the next 3-4 weeks. That way i can modulate my aromatase and prevent it from spiking my estro.
Im not sure if this is the best way yet so ill continue researching.

You don't need to taper exem as its a suicidal AI. Also wtf with the LSD man are you for serious.

You don't need to taper exem as its a suicidal AI. Also wtf with the LSD man are you for serious.

Im dead serious, you might think its crazy but be analytically about it. Many people think we all are crazy for taking steroids yet we tell them we do it the right way. Same goes for the LSD, I did it in a productive way and it had very positive effects one me. I don't take it back for a second.

[hazard12]

And I only reported the LSD stuff because i truly believe it had an impact on my weightlifting and it was something that would change the data and make my progress look weird if left unexplained.

[joh408]

I believe you with the LSD. Psychedelics can cause different thinking which can help clear your head. MDMA is being used in select trials to try to find out if it will help with PTSD. Just have to do it right
