[Condition1]

I think that if you replace the PB sandwich with oatmeal in the morning it would help fill you up and control the cravings a bit. Oatmeal just fills me right up.

You might feel hypoglycemic after taking Anabolic Pump without consuming enough carbohydrates. This is different from carbohydrate/sugar cravings usually induced by hormonal imbalances. Stress can deplete dopamine levels. Low dopamine and serotonin levels are known to trigger sugar cravings. In addition, increased secretion of cortisol (via elevated stress levels) is associated with increased appetite, sugar cravings, and weight gain. This is thought to be because cortisol impacts food ingestion by binding to receptors in the hypothalamus of the brain. This can motivate an individual to crave for and consume food high in fat and or sugar. Furthermore, cortisol also produces an indirect influence on appetite via the regulation of other chemicals released during stress. These include corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH), leptin, and neuropeptide Y (NPY). Appetite stimulation can occur when levels of NPY and CRH are high and levels of leptin are low.

thanks guys for the feedback!

Condition1,
I'm going to try playing with my diet a little bit during all this.

Stategicmove,
I was hoping to use the cissus for it's cortisol control as well as joint issues...should I add in something else to help with cortisol issues? I've used retain 2 in the past.

There are many options. One of the most cost-effective is a stack of Ashwagandha and Relora (NOW Foods).

Workout

today was back bi's shoulders

I really felt ON today, I love the combination of the RPM, Epi, and AP for these workouts! my workout partner was about 30 minutes late so I got one heck of a warm up in while I was waiting.

I didn't pay too much attention to the weights I was using today, I was really energized and we did more sets than usual and we varied the weights a bit. I know that I did more than one set of lat pull downs at 270.

I ended up getting a call from work before the workout and had to head in for a little while...I really don't feel like I got my moneys worth on todays workout! I had so much more in me! I'm really just going to have to make sure that I kill the next workout!

Additional Notes:

the rest of the week I'm going to traveling every day for work and I'm afraid I'm not going to have too much control over my diet for the next few days. Every morning I'll be going to work, getting on a shuttle headed to mexico. After work each day I'll take the shuttle back home (to San Diego)...I'm not looking forward to this!

I haven't been perfect with my diet but I really feel like the leaning effects I was seeing are gone. I feel like I look bloated in the mirror! I weighed in at 194 today (up 6 pounds), I'm going to see if one of my friends can check my body fat (caliper test) to see where I stand. strength is def up but my goal here is to really work on leaning up a little.

I ordered some DCP that I'll be adding in for the last 4 weeks of my log.

my mood has been great! my libido isn't bad, but it's def not great! I must say that the DTH and sustain aren't really making much of a difference here! I might just give up on these products and save them for PCT.

I have yet to add in the DHEA for libido...might give that a try this weekend. I'm just not sure I'm comfortable running it for the rest of the cycle...that's a long time and I'm afraid the DHEA will cause more problems.

also, thanks for the rec Strategic! I also ordered some relora and Ashwagandha. how should i dose this?

[Condition1]

I'm going to have to consider RPM in the future.

Rob don't ever move out of San Diego, you will very much regret it, loved San Diego...

[delsolrob]

haha, I know!

I actually kick myself sometimes for moving here too early in life...can't really move up from here (maybe hawaii...but then you're stuck on a rock).

I love it here...moved from Phoenix 4 years ago and I never want to move back!

I've used RPM before and I ran both Epi and AP individually for a while so I know how I react to all of them individually. But when I combined them all my workouts are phenominal!

[delsolrob]

...was def a cool feeling on Friday when I had a group of guys hanging around watching me bench!

[delsolrob]

Condition, did you live in SD?
