THOUGHTS:
Damn, don't know whether to thank the test or the epi, but I ****ing killed it today. Increased 10 lbs per arm on both the HS Chest press and HS Shoulder Press, AND got more reps than last time as well! Same thing with the cable tri extensions. Pull-ups were a bit worse than I had wanted, but to be fair I'm up about 7lbs from when I last did them, and on top of that I attached 30lbs to myself, so it may have been a bit more than I was expecting. The seated cable row felt ridiculously good...went up 10lbs on that AND shattered the reps I got last time on it. Feel like I could increase it 20lbs in order to get it back into the 12-15 rep range DC calls for. Getting crazy strong over here guys, don't blink or you may miss it! lol - 06-20-2012, 10:11 PM

How are your pumps? I felt as if my muscles were ripping out of my skin lol
My muscles are pharmaceutically enhanced. - 06-20-2012, 10:34 PM
Up 12lbs at the moment, on day 22. I'm certainly enjoying it
Pumps are very very very nice. And by that I mean I feel pumped/look huge when I'm working out, but they're not painful, so they don't hinder my workout. I hear with epi usually the biggest concern is back pumps. I take lots of fish oil daily, but I don't take any glucosamine or taurine, and so far it doesn't seem to matter. Feelin' huge without pain...that's what's up lol. Interested to see if I'll get the painful pumps when I bump up to 40mg next week (last 2 weeks are going to be at 40mg, so far it's been 30mg).

Just feels so strange, cause typically when I get lean I see a lot of definition in stomach area, but my upper-upper body not so much. This time it's the opposite...delts, chest, and traps are absolutely popping with size and definition and veins, but the bloat just gives me total mud stomach lol.
Won't have to wait long man...if test + SD doesn't do it, the var surely will. - 06-21-2012, 11:36 AM

Under the belt doesn't quite work for me during the day because I work in an office, so I have a button-up shirt tucked into my pants already. Maybe we just have different types of boxer briefs lol...mine aren't super tight, the most awkward part is trying to get the boner swiveled to be facing downwards, but after that I can just pick up the elastic band of the briefs and run it underneath that...after it's under, the elastic band it tight enough that it won't let me spring free, luckily. Usually try for doing it down the inner side of my leg...a lot of times at work I'm wearing slightly tighter slacks, so walking around or ESPECIALLY sitting down, a boner running down the top of my leg is kind of ridiculously obvious.
Oh, the trials and difficulties of steroids. I make it work lol. - 06-23-2012, 08:29 AM

Reverse Preacher Curls - WU: 30lbs X 15. Pyramid: 60lbs X 19, 70lbs X 15, 80lbs X 9. *More REPS*
Quad Extension WM: 3 plates + 30lbs. 17 reps - 3 breaths - 4 reps - 3 breaths - 4 reps - 3 breaths - 3 reps - 3 breaths - 2 reps = 30 reps total.
THOUGHTS:
What can I say, I'm more than happy. Weight went up on every exercise (on some quite a bit...wide-grip curls I bumped 20lbs), and rep numbers either stayed the same as they were at last workout's weight or else went UP, which is pretty damn incredible. Loving this anabolic stuff lol. I'm especially to see what this coming week will be like, since on Sunday I'll be bumping up my epi dosage to 40mg, and keeping it there for 2 weeks. Awwww yeah.
Diet: Another 18-hour day, so I packed what I could and ate the rest when I got home. Still kept tabs on myself.

THOUGHTS:
Weight just keeps being added to every exercise, and they all just keep feeling easier and easier. Pretty damn amazing feeling. Weighed in at 195lbs today, up +13lbs from the start of the cycle, so that's feeling good as well. Still feel a bit bloated, that's really my only complaint...I'm noticeably larger, but also less defined from the bloat. I'm still at 3000 cals on-days and 2100 off-days, and seeing that I usually maintain weight at 3200 cals, it seems like this diet should have me shedding body fat on the cycle, but it's hard to tell with the retained water weight/bloat, plus with all the weight gain I've had recently. Tomorrow I bump up to 40mg of epi.
DIET:
3200 cals
320g protein - 06-23-2012, 09:06 PM

It's ridiculous. The craziest is when you have a really hard set one week, and the next week you bump up the weight...and end up having an easier set. I mean, damn...I don't have an addictive personality, but I can see how people would never want to stop cycling. Getting bigger, leaner, stronger, and honestly kind of feeling happier (I was perfectly happy before taking anything, it's just that I find myself in a good mood more often, believe it or not). Only thing I don't like, as I mentioned above, is a lot of water retention/mild bloating, but even with that I'm pretty damn happy on this cycle.

Might give that a shot, thanks. I was doing .25 2X a week, but eod may be a better idea since there seems to be a lot of debate about its half-life.
Just noticed tonight that the back of my shoulders are broken the **** out like mad. Kind of a simultaneously bad and good feeling. Would guess that that's the epi finally rearing it's side-effect head, but at least I know it really has kicked in (if the rising numbers in the gym weren't enough lol). Plus, I've always been prone to acne on my face and have been grudgingly awaiting it, but it looks like my back is the only part of me being affected by it, which is absolutely joyous lol. I guess it'll suck swimming or whatnot, but people see my face a lot more often than they see my back!
Injected 250ius of HCG tonight, sub-Q a bit to the left of my belly button using the proper method (alcohol swab, pinch a few time, inject into pinched fat, remove). Been doing this since week 2, and it still never stopped burning whilst going in (has for every injection). I'm figuring it's just because I'm decently lean...from what I understand, technically the more fat you're storing in your stomach, the lesser chance you have of experiencing pain with sub-Q injections to the abdominal region. I guess a lower bf% comes with it's pains, but it really isn't bad, just am never really expecting it. As long as I'm not doing something wrong, I really don't mind. - 06-25-2012, 08:07 PM

Diet: Should end up right around 3000 cals and 300g protein. Supposed to grab dinner with my brother tonight, so macros may be a bit strewn because of that. No offense to you hardcore dudes, but family comes before lifting. I'm dedicated as hell inside and outside of the gym, but part of that dedication is knowing when to be a hardass about things and when to let it loose.
EDIT: Fell asleep after some protein consumption late at night haha. My log sheet had 2020 cals and 247g protein. At the restaurant I had a chicken sandwich and fries. Likely 20-25ish grams of protein, who knows with total cals. If I'm lucky, it should be right around 1000 cals, so I got what I usually would have wanted, minus some protein. Maybe boost my protein intake a bit tomorrow to help make up. - 06-25-2012, 11:27 PM
