Day 1 (Thanksgiving Day)

I staggered the start of the H-Drol/P-Stanz and the GHRP/CJC-1295 so I can guage any bad side effects.

Workout: Shoulders, Calves, Abs

Cardio (25 minutes - Elliptical)
Twists (3 minuts)

Side Raises (5 x 10, 15lbs, 20lbs, 25lbs, 30lbs, 35lbs)

Machine Hammer Press:
warm up sets (2 x 10, 90lbs, 140lbs)

Machine Calf Press (3 x 20, 130lbs, 140lbs, 150lbs)

Incline/Weighted Sit Ups (3 x 15, 45lbs)


Diet:
Excellent day today. 3100 calories. I started using whole milk in my post-workout protein shakes to increase the caloric and nutritional value. I intentionally started on Thanksgiving because I knew the motiviation to behave at the dinner table would be at its peak.

Effects:
Nothing really. My pre-workout drink usually has me motivated when I step out on the floor so even a placebo effect wasn't observable.

Day 2

Workout: Legs

Twists (3 minutes)

Superset

Diet:
Ok day today. Backloaded the calories towards the end of the day because I knew I was way under. Looking forward to the GHRP-6 and the increased apetite. 2750 calories.

Effects:
Still no noticable effects. I felt stronger throughout my leg workout but I am not ready to attribute it to the cycle yet.

Day 3

I started the GHRP-6 and CJC-1295 this morning. Interesting experience since prior to that I have never pinned myself.

Workout: OFF DAY

Diet:
Excellent day. Set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat. Works like a champ. 3000 calories

Effects:
Still nothing other than a rush the first time I pinned myself.

Blah. No appetite. Forcing myself to eat. Made my target calories only because I cheated and had a weight gainer shake post workout.

Effects:
I was definitely feeling something today. I felt strong through-out the workout and reached new top-end weights on both cable rows and incline dumbbell press. Nice pump throughout.

Day 5

Alright sorry for the wave of posts. But this should get me caught up from the holidays.

Workout: Arms

Cardio (25 minutes - Elliptical)

DTP - Dramatic Transformation Principle

Diet:
First day back at work from the holidays. The alarms seem to be going off faster than I can eat my meals today. But at least the appetite is doing well today.

Effects:
WOW! Intensity. Focus. Strenght. Everything was firing on all cylinders and I had an awesome arm day. I can honestly say the pump is far and away the best I have ever experienced. I was also strong start to finish and although my arms are pretty much jello at this point there was no let-up start to finish.

Day 6

Weigh-In: 200lbs

Workout:
OFF DAY for weights 25 minutes cardio.

Diet:
Right on target for the diet today. Appetite is definitely increasing...eating approx. every two hours. I am trying to limit carbs later in the day.

Effects:
The last couple nights I have had some seriously wicked dreams. Not sure if the the two are 100% related but its definitely at a level that I can't ever remember my dreams being at. Also noticing some acne on my chest and back.

Day 7

Today was a rough one. Between getting the kids out of the house and running late work this morning was a mess. Forgot my pre-workout drink which definitely threw me further off my rhythm.

On track today...I have hit all my planned meals. Thankful its the last day of chicken for the week. Steak and fish for the next few days which should be a nice change-up. After next weigh-in I will make adjustments as necessary.

Effects:
Good pump today despite the fact that I wasn't really motivated to be in the gym. Definitely, 'feeling' the difference.

No cardio today

* - New max/rep range, previous max was 3 reps

Diet:
Bad day today. Missed meals. Inconsistent timing. Managed to stay clean just bad all around.

Effects:
Had some issues primarily light-headed which I suspect is a result of the diet gone wrong and my blood sugar dropping way low. Handled that but I relied on Monster Milk Lights way too much.

Other than that I felt extremely bloated today. Had an awesome pump and felt strong in the gym. At this point I'm definitely retaining water. I stepped on the scale just briefly in clothes, post workout and it rang up 206lbs, which is way too much gain for two days. From my research it seems that the GHRP-6 is the culprit. I am going to keep an eye on it and if the problem persists I will adjust my cycle plan at the beginning of next week.

Tomorrow I plan on cutting the whole milk from my protien shakes and adding an extra cardio session. Also I am going to make sure that for 1 hour pre/post the GHRP-6 I am carb and fat-free.

Any thoughts/inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Diet:
Good day today. Missed one meal but still made 3000 calories for the day.

Effects:
Overall good day. Still feeling bloated. The gf noticed some acne on the back . Increase the H-Drol dosage to 75mg/day yesterday which was day 8.

Misc:
I intended to add an extra cardio session today but I forgot my shoes in my workout bag. I'll start that tomorrow. Starting today, I doubled the hawthorne berry, milk thistle and Glucosamine + MSM i'm taking. I do one scoop of cycle support in the morning and I want to make sure I have proper supports. I stayed clear of carbs/fat for 1 hr pre/post GHRP-6 today and I will do that moving foward. Also to note, I have also cut out the whole milk from all my protein shakes.

How's sleep with the GHRP?

 

[bluewater1979]

I've actually been sleeping really well. I am normally a pretty light sleeper and just about any noise wakes me. The past week however I've slept solid through the night which normally doesn't happen. The one thing I've noticed is that I have had some wicked dreams. I can attributed it to the ghrp since I start the ph and peptides at the same time.

 

[AaronJP1]

Any sides?

 

[bluewater1979]

very mild....the only notable being some bloat/water rentention...most likely from the ghrp-6

Effects:
Felt strong through-out the workout. Good pump and not feeling the bloat that I have in days prior. It was hard to stay focused though as they are doing alot of "new year" work at the gym.
