I've been bulking naturally since August and I've lost my abs somewhere along the way...I don't remember exactly where I left them but I've decided to spend the next 8 weeks tracking them down.

my strategy for the search:

AP 4 times a day (before breakfast, lunch, pre workout meal, and post workout meal/dinner)

epi pulse:
week1: 10/20/20
week2: 30/30/30
week3-8: 40/40/40

supplies for along the way:
cycle support
-why: helps with prostate, BP, and protecing the Liver

DHEA
-why: just in case libido crashes

DTH - using chucks advice: 3 on ON days, 6 on OFF days
-why: hoping to keep natty test levels up while pulsing...also want to make sure my libido stays up

sesamin oil
-why: anti inflamatory and will aid with the fat loss

super cissus RX
-why: joint/tendon support, plus it helps with inflamation and Cort Control

Taurine
-why: for back pumps​
PCT:
Nolva - week 1 40mg, week 2/3 - 20mg, week 4 10mg
Retain 2 for cort control
DTH
Powerfull
creatine mono
RPM

current stats:
height: 5'10"
weight: 188 pounds
BF: 15%
age: 28

goals:
drop the BF% a couple points and put on a few pounds of LBM

I'll be providing updates on my progress along the way.

This is my first pulse and I'm interested to see how stable my libido will be throughout the cycle! Since avoiding some of the nasty sides/suppression is one of the "benefits" of pulsing I'll be keeping an eye on that throughout the cycle.

caught a little bit of a bug over the weekend...not really sick, but def not 100%! :frustrate

I'm probably not going to hit the gym today...I'm going to wait to see how I feel on Wed but my guess is that I'll postpone starting until next week.

decided to procede with todays workout...probably not the smartest move but I wanted to start this week.

today was 10mg of Epi pre workout.

also, I've been running the AP for the last week.

nothing significant to state for todays workout...did surprisingly well considering I've been under the weather though. did Back, bi's and a 20 minute cool down. once I got momentum I was focused and good to go!

Best of luck with this brother. I think that the DCP would add in well here. It will not only contribute in assisting with repartitioning effects, but the PLCAR will also assist in androgen receptor proliferation helping to enhance potential gains.

Give it hell bro!! :cheers:

Now that the cycle has started you're going to have to roll with it. Pictures make everything better, plus now the pressure is on lol.

feeling much better today!

still a little congested and have a little bit of a cough (voice is still a little scratchy)...but no more headache and my chest doesn't burn when I cough:)

a little dissapointed that I'm not even a little sore from last nights workout. but my mood is great and I'm REALLY looking forward to running 30mg tomorrow and hitting chest!

last week I was able to do 105 on incline DB press 8 times...

I was planning on doing cardio today, but I think I'm going to rest up to make sure that I feel great for tomorrow.

Tomorrow I should recieve my shipment from NP and starting this weekend I'll be running my DTH and Cissus.

after reading a little more, I'm also considering adding in DCP for the last 30 days as well (had a short conversation VIA PM with Trauma1 about this). anyone have any thoughts on this?

DO IT. DCP is a solid product and I will use it in future cuts.

Where's the creatine mono? I'd def at that. It works great with AP.

Whats your diet and cardio look like?
DCP is finally back in stock at NP (seems to have been out of stock everywhere). should I get it in asap or just save it for the last 30 days of my cycle?

I usually cycle off creatine while ON...I usually add it back in when I go into PCT. I usually dose it at 5mg pre wo and 5mg with WMS for post wo. I'll consider adding it back in the mix.

Cardio: I usually do 20-30 minutes post workout and I try to do something active nearly every day...maybe swimming, jogging, surfing, etc. I'm a pretty active guy (when I'm not sitting at my desk at work).

diet, I haven't sat down and worked out all the macros yet. but here's a pretty standard outline:

breakfast 8am:
-2 slices WW toast, natty PB, banana
-25 grams of protein - ATW

snack 11:00:
- protein shake (1 scoup muscle milk + 1 scoup ATW)

lunch 1:00
- usually chicken breast or some other lean meat, some sort of veggies or fruit and some form of complex carbs

Preworkout snack:
- 1 slice WW toast with Natty PB and fruit
- 1 scoup ATW protein

post workout:
-1 scoup ATW protein

Dinner 9pm:
-Lean meat or fish
-Sweet Potato
-veggies

pre bed:
protein shake​

thanks for the reminder!

I usually try not to rely on protein shakes...especially when I'm trying to bulk!

I'll work on adding some egg whites for breakfast and some fat free cottage cheese prior to going to bed...I'm struggling to keep my calories in check and my schedule has been so rediculous at work that I haven't had a great deal of time for the additional work involved in packing more than lunch.

and that is why protein shakes are key. Not like you consume 10 shakes a day but 4 is fine. They have some wheys now that's really low in sugar. If you were consuming a weight gainer that's a different story but shakes aren't that bad on fat loss.

Shakes fill me up, which sucks on a bulk trying to squeeze in small meals through out the day. Ugh.

After being under the weather the last week, I feel great today!

both my mood and energy are fantastic today!

I dosed my first 10mg of Epi at 9am and I'll be taking the other 10mg before my workout tonight.

I'm also excited that I should be recieving the rest of my goodies from NP today...I'm going to start adding in the DTH today.

again, the DTH will be run at 3/day on ON days and 6/day on OFF days.

I'll also be taking super cissus RX at 2 before breakfast and 2 before my pre bed snack.

I love a shake with some flax or extra virgin olive oil, slows down protein absorption and trust me when I say this, I committed one whole month of eating 6 solid meals a day without missing one meal or using an MRP. I'll tell you it drives you crazy, everything revolves around it, you have to carry a little sack to hold your food in, food gets sour fast. Then you start getting technical and carry a little cooler with you. On top of that you're most likely(if you're human) going to take a crap 2-3 times a friggin day. Some days it diarrhea and others your farting enough to create a toxic storm. Then when you go out all you'te thinking about is, "Will I be able to hold my fart without getting a sore stomach?" , "Will I have to take a dump in a public bathroom?". It's retarded when people say eat 6 whole food meals. My girlfriend gets aggitated when I have to drop off at a public bathroom just to take a piss.... 3-4 f'in times. Try to get in at least 3-4 whole foods, the rest can come with mrps or a shake. I can tell you I have had the same gains if I was eating 6 whole meals or 3 whole meals. Trust me it don't make a difference. If I can eat 4-5 whole meals in a day then why not but most of us WORK or go to SCHOOL or go out to social gatherings like CLUBS or BARS like jesus fuc&king christ I restricted to going out at all for a month afraid I'm gonna sh^t my pants in a club. Ya sure try to look cool when you gotta sh#t out meal 2 of the day while dancing with a chick. Sorry if I vented I really feel good now, sorry.

don't worry Alex...you're surrounded by people that care about you; just let it all out :run:

I'm usually pretty good about keeping snacks on hand...almonds, dried fruit, banana's, etc...it's things that are high in protein that are difficult to keep available all the time! you're right, they go bad! for protein at odd times shakes are very handy!

Hey Del,

I was gonna reply to your pm but figure I'll write here. What I did for protein on the go was I bought protein bars that had 35g of protein, 30 g of carbs, 14g fat etc... and that was my source of protein on the go. If I was in the middle of class, driving, with my girlfriend or whatever the case be I pulled out my bar with water and ate it. That constituted as a meal and lets face it, I can't(and don't want to!!) pull out a chicken breat/tuna with rice and eat it in class or anywhere. I like to eat my foods when I am situated like at work or home. School I'm not comfortable. If I had no choice then I would use the bar and usually it was only once a day if I had to. Sometimes I only did it twice a week.

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but keeping cans of tuna around can be a convenient lean source of protein, not much time to prepare.

Flat DB Press:
90x10, 100x8, 105x6, 115x2, 90x8

I'm looking forward to running the DTH all weekend (at 6/day); I'm hoping to feel its effects by monday. Starting tomorrow I'll also be taking the Super Cissus RX.

Looking forward to running 30mg of Epi next week!

Throat was also a bit scratchy by the end of my cardio today.​

I'm a happy man today! I can already feel how tight my chest is from last nights workout...I think this will probably be the most I've felt the day after a chest routine in months!

This might be placebo, but I already feel like my abs are tighter. I wanted to get into the gym and check my weight (roomy broke my digital scale) this morning before breakfast but I got caught up at home and I got hungry!

I'm afraid that my initial progress will be skewed since I was sick most of this last week. :sick:

I was thinking about swimming some laps today...but the pool at the gym scares me! I've been sick and I don't want to get sick again (who knows what's in that water). I'm also more afraid of the pool where I live...it's full of lots of little kids:think:

Chest flys really make my chest tight, lower them till the stretch then bring arms together with my chest and squeeze.... love that feeling.

Why the pool Del? Aren't you bulking cleanly?

This is def something I will consider...I'll be doing some more research on it.

I also ordered some Sustain Alpha and Toco-8 (promotion they were just offering)...I'm not sure if I'm going to try to integrate that into my cycle or save it for later. I've heard that the reservatrol can really help energize libido.
