I've only got upper body shots thus far .. Hate showing off my legs, cus in order to show any vascularity, I've got to have something other than a goddamn web-cam when taken from this distance. ANYWAY, I took 18 months off from leg training, and began training them again 7 weeks ago. (don't want to go in to the details). Within two weeks of training them I started seeing improvements, and week by week, my squat and leg press went up drastically. I repped 405 twice the other day, WITH NO BELT, and I've never gotten 405 ONCE before . . Can ya imagine how that felt ?!

Here's a leg shot from today - I know they've got work to do ! But I LOVE doing legs, so they'll get up there !!

The second pic is another pic from an hour ago - i like it cus I feel like my upper chest has filled in the past week, and I just look more solid and full.

I did NO cardio all week - too busy to do a 2nd work out session per day because of school - but i'll be starting abs and cardio tomorrow, and will continue with cardio and abs 4-5 days/week for the remainder of the cycle. Why ? I don't want to risk seeing a layer of water over my abs within the end of week 1. Haha

And a back shot.

He didn't use it right. You need to draw sterile water after the igf-1 to dilute the sting.I have used a few bottles and it's amazing at preventing atrophy on cycle,and amazing in pct to get things jumpin back real quick....these are the best uses...imo

Superdrol from my experience makes cardio almost impossable due to shin,back pumps that are very painfull!!

[Norwegian]

Haha, yeah, I'm worried about those myself . . I'm crossing my fingers that for some weird reason I will not suffer the back pump issue this time around ! HAHA.

I went to a field and ran sprints around with my dog today for 25 minutes. LOTS of wind sprints - didn't plan on running, but I felt GOOD for some reason . . my sense of well-being in fantastic, for whatever reason, it feels like a fog has been lifted off me these past couple days man. It's strange . . anyway, the running - - - NO shin splints or any other issues thus far - but then again, it's been 6 days. . But being that I'll be getting lots of cardio in starting now, I'll let you know how it all works out for me . . I've gotta work through it however it may hurt, cus it's my mission to perfect my physique this cycle ..

Day 7:

Woke up looking GOOD today - dryer than I have since I stopped my UD2.0 diet! Noticing my stomach - somehow - was tight even if I bent over or turned around . . But I'm SORE - DOMS ? - I'm sore in every muscle in my body. Sort of feel like i did after a 3 hour long football practice in the heat of a Texas day. Also, I got 7 hours of sleep, and I could barely drag my ass out of bed this morning. (if only I didn't have to take a leak, I'd STILL BE sleeping, dammit!) Plus I got a little Beagle puppy who steals my covers when I'm sleeping, so I wake up 2-3 times every night - FREEZING cold - and having to pull my sheets back on me ! HAHA

I thought I'd be doing high carbs yesterday, but as a result of a somewhat lack or appetite and just not wanting to risk seeing ANY potential water-gain on me untill I hit up my cardio in full, I ended up with a 'meager' 300grams spread evenly in to 6 meals. Yes, 6 MEALS, PLUS two shakes. lots and lots of chicken. Averaged only 50g carbs/meal every 2.5-3 hours, so I was NEVER overly stuffed, only comfortable. Carbs are only from brown rice, oatmeal, a bagel, and I added a banana in one of my shakes. I've decided to cut out ALL peanutbutter from here on out, because I empty those jars like they were a bottle of water ! I bought a two-pack of JIF PB from Sam's Club 2.5 weeks ago, and I'm scraping the bottom of the second one now . . But, I've come to the conclusion that those 15-25 grams of extra fat per day, plus around 10 grams of sugar isn't needed at all. I've got ALL THE healthy fats I could want, and the pb will only wear down on my budget I realized.

I'm still drowsy, although I woke up an hour ago. I'm considering to throw down a couple AMP or Jet Fuel, but I've been ENTIRELY off STIMS and THERMOS for 10 days now - built up a tolerance to them BIG TIME - and I was hoping I'd be able to deal with no caffeine or stims in me untill I get my Reset AD in. So i guess I just got to be studying my Calculus on a 'natural high,' hahaha . . [the high on LIFE-kind of high]

Hmm. I dont think there's more to say.

Side effects: NO ACNE (knock on WOOD !!!! If I can complete this cycle and look lean and dry as hell without pimples, so I can ACTUALLY strut my stuff, I will be forever grateful.) No hair loss. No atrophy. Sex Drive ? Unchanged. (so as low as when i started, LOL)


LATER !

[Norwegian]

BTW.

I said I looked dry as hell when i woke up today . . well, it got me thinking, and I thought of what I did last night ..

I take my daily supplements in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I took them prior to bed with a protein shake and a banana last night. Well, I accidentally took a 600mg ALA instead of the 300mg - they're in the same bag. Well, with 600mg ALA in your system, your body would MOST likely enjoy some sugars or carbs immidiately - i gave myself a meager 30 grams form a banana. So, 90 minutes after I take my supps, I'm still awake in bed - issues falling asleep - been dealing with off and on all semester, so I don't blame my cycle necessarily - and I get nauseous. It kind of snuck up on me, then kicked in to high gear. I was like, UGH, wtf, UGH, and gagged, and just felt ****ing miserable for like 10 minutes. Then I was like, ****, cut my carbs too low with the ALA ! My hands were shaking, and i was just feeling BAD !Dragged my ass out of bed, went to the fridge, picked up my Orange Juice, and brought it back in bed with me .. 5 minutes later, SWEET RELIEF !!!!

Anyway thought I'd let ya'll know . . Don't **** with the slin ! hahah

Man, first off, I apologize for not getting back to ya yesterday ! I began replying, and then got lost in the forums ! Haha, You will be getting an answer today, though.

And yes, apparently ALA is THAT effective . . - at least to me ! I have taken it for the past 6 weeks, and I WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT GIVE IT CREDIT FOR SOME OF MY VASCULARITY along with keeping me lean even on Carb loads. .

[Norwegian]

Well, it was just a joke, really, but basically, if 600mg of ALA gets me shaking cus of a lack of carbs with it, I would never poke myself with slin, then cross my fingers my carb-intake will suffice ! hahahah

soo ala stacked with any kind of product like

neovar, pslin, anabolicpump, yellowgold

would be asking for it?

[Norwegian]

Man, to be fair, i've tried NON of those, but the combo would most likely be outrageous !

Last night I just screwed up - 600mg with too low of carbs .. But the past 6 weeks, i've had the shakes prolly 5-6 times or so - a sign the ALA was too high, or simple carbs too low - but that was just MY slight screw-up. I just didn't want to consume too much sugar in my diet and worry about a bloat, but I learned my lesson.

Had I not already planned my supplementation for the remainder of the year, i'd be trying a combo like that in a heart-beat ! LOL. Anabolic Pump i've wanted to try since it came out, but it's a little pricy it SEEMS. But for January, it's definitely in my "options' box.

then if anything try yellowgold its the cheapest of all 3 options

tastes nasty unless you cap it, not sure if you do that or not. and there are other ways of downing it

dam,dude yesterday i shot my igf-1 while at the gym(at the end part of my workout). Within 5 minuits i was as white as a ghost and felt like i was gonna pass out. Nothing like that good ol' hypo feeling...lol

I usually keep carbs low but im at week 12(of 14-15) of my test/eq cycle so i want to maximize gains. I used na-rala for quite a while with great success(pricey though).

[Norwegian]

Yeah bro, I never tried out the R-ala - - - not cost efficient enough for me man . . I only do 'smart' buys from Nutraplanet LOL **REPRESENT**

Have you tried ALA ? Can you compare the two in terms of effects ?

Man, sorry to hear about the incident there . . I'd be worried too !!! (and @ the gym !? they must've thought you were siiiick !)

When I first began the UD2.0, I read in the book that nausea and exhaustion was common, so getting through those workout would be a ***** for sure . . Man, the first 3/5 weeks, I threw up in 3 out of 4 weight training work outs a week. I remember the worst day of them all: i only live 1 mile away from Gold's Gym, and after one of these full body complete depletion/exhaustion workouts, I was nauseous, pale, had been throwing up at the gym . . didn't look too good - but it was to be expected . . I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - although side road, NOT a highway - to open up the door and spill out my guts FOUR TIMES !!! So averaging every quarter mile . .. . lol

(I'm not encouraging NOR saying that working out to that point is good in any form or fashion .. but then again, my body is my own little research experiment !
