Tansui's Bold + Epi Kick start

[Tansui]

Well its time to start my pre-load for my 1st cycle. I've been preping since october and in that amount of time made some gains that I'm proud of. I 1st planned to do an Hdrol/Fura 6 week cycle with GHenerate I have since decided to save that stack for a much later cut/recomp.

This cycle is a bulk and as such I settled on an 8 week cycle of CEL's EQ-Plex (bold clone) with a 3 week Kickstart of SFR Hemaguno (a notoriously under dosed Epi clone)

I think I have everything covered but if you see something missing please say so. I am considering throwing in 400mg/ed of DIM from week 6 until the end of week 10.

I found this workout about 3 months ago and have made just a few changes to it. It keeps me sore and growing so I'm not planing to change it till it stops working.

Cycle and Dosing

I'll be dosing Epi 12.5mg-25mg pre workout and 12.5mg post work out. EQ will be split in even doses @ 9am, 3pm, 9pm in the 1st 3 weeks and @ 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm from week 4-8

This is what the cycle will look like:

I'll fall a little under on my diet everyday I'm sure but there is the mark I'm shooting for. Hopefully the EQ-Plex hunger bug hits me early.

Well it looks like were all set for a monday morning kickoff for my 1st bowl game! I'm all preloaded but I have 2 concerns.

1) Sore thoat showed up on thursday night. I feel great aside from that I'm taking 500mg vit C + ecenesia along with zicam spray as of today. In hopes that I can get rid of the sore throat. BUT I'm feeling really good no strength loss or lethargy. Only a small appitite loss. I was 2.5lbs under my cycle start goal weight this morning.

2) 2 weeks ago my bp was 127/81 and last night after 2 weeks of hawthore berry it had gone up to 138/87

I have added a bit mor bacon to my diet but I didn't think

Grr it cut off my post I'm on my phone ill fix it tonight but most importantly. Anyone think I need to postpone cycle? I'm sadly leaning toward a yes

thanks for coming along.

This morning I felt real good and the sore throat seems to be getting better so I decided to Go ahead with the cycle.

I did my day 1 workout and and felt pretty awesome, probably placebo but I felt like i could have kept working out with a fairly high intensity.

Question.. How long after starting EQ is the appetite increase normally expected? I think I'm psyching myself up here lol. But at any rate good workout think I'm gonna do some cardio tonight.
