what are your thoughts on the Dermacrine??? I tried my first trans m. when I used forma stan and really liked the experience.

 

[bader85]

what are your thoughts on the Dermacrine??? I tried my first trans m. when I used forma stan and really liked the experience.

I started feeling it about two weeks in. A good overall mood enhancement. It definitely helped start with my body recomp, I noticed my arousal increased too, something that has been very low the last year or so..

I wish I had the money to do blood tests before/after to see where I started at... I would of loved to see how much it was boosted.

 

[bader85]

Here's my cycle I started last tuesday:

1-8 Test Enan 300mg/wk
1-8 tren Ace 100 eod
1-6 Tbol 40mg/day
1-8 T3 12.5 ramp up 12.5 e4d to 50mg/day total
4-8 Clen
10-14 HCGenerate
6-12 N2slin
10-14 Forma
10-14 post-cycle Therapy
10-14 Forged Steel
10-14 Clomid 25mg/day

Already wake up every so often at night randomly but get back to bed fairly quick from the Tren...

Had a pretty busy/stressful week, so sorry I haven't posted workouts. Financial issues... not so fun, buh.

Things are going well though, weight loss has stopped, and it's slowly climbing up.. muscle mass is a lot more solid, definition is slowly coming in.

Weight: 239

WU 10 min elliptical, HR 140

So.. before I tell you my workout.. I am proud of this workout.. I almost wanted to throw up by the end... I will note however, that my lower back has been EXTREMELY tight and sore since Monday (even with icing, heating, and massage) it's still really feeling weak.. so I listened to my body and pushed it to what I felt I should without making anything worse.

20 front squats w/ bar
20 reg squats w/ bar

Deadlifts: 135 x 10, 135 x 10 (this is all I could do with back pumps and soreness still.. I wanted to make it through the rest with good numbers)

Quads BURNING, lower back aching... this is where I could of puked... I can barely walk up/down stairs without my legs wanting to cramp and literally fail.

Walked on treadmill at 2.0 spd 1.0 incline (that's all I could manage..) for 20 mins.

 

[bader85]

Workout 2/26/11
Weight 239.5

WU 10 min stepper 140

Incline Bench BB: WU bar x 20, 135 x 10, 135 x 10
Work: 165 x 3r x 10s, 135 x 5 fail, 135 x 5 fail

Machine Leg Press: WU 180 x 10, 180 x 10, 270 x 5, 360 x 5
Work: 450 (10 plates) x 3r x 10s, 270 x 10

SLDL: 10 w/bar, 115 x 10, 135 x 10
Work: 205 x 3r x 10s, 135 x 10

28 mins free elliptical, 145 HR

Inclines were up 10 pounds, but a total 10 sets, I only did 155 x 5 sets last week. I was shocked how easy this felt vs. last week. the tbol/tren must be working. Was pooring sweat. The last few sets started struggling on the third. I laughed that I could only do 5 at 135 before failing horribly at the end. muscles were totally dead.

Machine leg presses had two extra plates from last week, and finished out all ten sets. Does anyone know how much weight the machine alone?

SLDL were up 20 pounds, never used straps, but grip was really hurting last few ones but I grunted through it.

 

[RickRock13]

Increased sweating is a sign that the tren is working for sure.

The leg press sometimes has stamped somewhere what the sled weight is, but some don't. I usually just count the weight I put on and not the sled weight.

Great workouts BTW..Keep killing it man!!

 

[mich29]

killer workouts man.I personally love the days when your really killing **** and wanna puke.

20 mins low intensity free elliptical.

My arms are looking thicker in the mirrors at the gym, triceps seem more pronounced.. my abs are sooo close I can feel it! I did declines to hopefully push out the lower peck so it helps tighten up the little fat flabs I have under my nipples.

 

[RickRock13]

So.. I have to say this workout got me in a pretty pissed mood... my numbers weren't better than last week, I felt pretty weak throughout it all.. the only thing I can blame it on is that the night before I could hardly sleep.. I kept tossing and turning, and didn't go to fully sleep til the sun had just come up.. so maybe that would hurt my strength a little, who knows.. but still pissed me off.

Just gotta shake it off and keep going at it hard.

Incline DB Flies: 22.5 x 12r x 3s

28 mins elliptical spd 4.0 HR 145

Sweat was a pooring today. Everything felt great all around.. My shoulder wasn't feeling too great, so I went a little lighter on shoulder presses, but it still got me pretty good. Doing flies in mirror I loved the way my figure looked, my lats from the rows were pumped, and my arms looked cut. Slowly the veins are coming out more. But tend to only be when working out still. Skin around abs feel a little tighter.
