Sounds like you are making great progress, definitely take care of that hip pain on the squats. No need to injure yourself just to lift more.

Day 21

550-XD at 0640hrs and 1745hrs. PCT Black before bed with G8. I weighed in at 217.4lbs today, which is up 2.4lbs. I forgot to check my fat on the electronic meter, but Ill do that tomorrow. Im am still going strong 21 days in. No signs of shut down what so ever, and really no negative sides to speak of. The aggression is gone, slight increase in hunger, but thats it. I am still steadily dropping BF% and even more impressive gaining lean mass...I believe we call this the HOLY GRAIL of bodybuilding!

I continued the Leg Press 130lbx8 and 110x8 all strip sets with no rest 5/0/5 Tempo for all reps of this exercise

2 working sets (60 second rest between working sets) followed by 2 drops set until form failure directly following second set (no rest between drop sets). Aiming for 6-8 reps. Great session today. My strength is still climbing, and at a rapid pace! I took it really easy on the legs today, as my right hip really bothers me as I move parallel into a squat position.

Those 'Drag Curls" look interesting Green, do you think the emphasize one head over the other?

Honestly I feel the drag curl places emphasis on both heads, but maybe more so on the short head (at least for me). I keep my shoulders pinched way back...as far as possible and squeeze the inner bicep to engage the curl. I do get a mean pump in my forearms as well.

Well I'm about to finish my six week run of 550-XD, 1-Andro and PCT Black. I used these products as noted: 1 - 550 XD with each meal, that’s three/day. 1 1-Andro and 1 PCT Black pre-bed along with 3mg of melatonin and three Vita Test tabs (sleep was great). Although my weight did not change I noticed a pronounced leaning effect for the first three weeks but not much thereafter. On week three I decided to add Tren to the stack for some added mass. I always grow like a weed on Tren. For the next three weeks I took one 40 mg tab of Tren with each meal. Sides have been virtually non-existent with the exception of occasional night sweats and a slight increase in BP. I have gained about 8 lbs. of lean mass while reducing my BF about 2%. I'm looking much leaner around the midsection but slightly softer everywhere else since tren makes you hold water. I will be starting DAA and Erase Pro as my PCT tomorrow. I am very happy with the results of this cycle. It is short but very effective. What's more my gonads feel as full as ever if that's any indication of overall shutdown. My libido is slightly lower but I really don't mind. Will I be running this stack again in the future? Absolutely, it is one of the best stacks I have used in years. I hope I can keep most of my gains. I usually respond well to DAA but it causes my pre-existing gyno to flair. Hopefully, Erase Pro will keep it in check. I will continue to use my pre-bed stack. It will help with both recovery and sleep issues.

Get some P-5-P from Swanson Vitamins. Cheap and effective, will kill that prolactin gyno quicker than all get out. Works way better than mucana does if you are worried about that no use leaving it up in the air if mucana can do it, when you know P-5-P will take care of it.

There's a lot of controversy over whether prolactin or estrogen causes gyno issues while on DAA. What I do know is that when my gyno flares. formestane gets it back under control quickly.

You should throw that review up in the Finaflex Sub-Forum! Sounds like you had a great run my friend. Here's to an equally successful PCT!!

Looking good TG, love the new avatar.

Day 22


2 caps of 550-XD at 0640hrs and 1720hrs. 1 PCT Black and a scoop of G8 before bed. Had a good cardio/arms day in the gym rendering a massive pump through bi's and tri's. Focused on high volume lifts with moderate weight switching between bi's and tri's for six different lifts. I am anticipating some soreness in the A.M. which I welcome!! Cardio consisted of 10 minutes jogging at 4.5 mph followed by 10 minutes walking at 3.0 mph...then the lift...followed by 10 minutes of moderate resistance elliptical, and 8 minutes of jumprope. All around great session in the gym. I forgot to check my BF% AGAIN!! I will definitely do it tomorrow...the suspense is killing me!

Wow this was a burn day!? Crazy workout man!!

Keep killing it.

[TurningGreen]

Ha! Yeah it was a burn. I just had an urge to crank out a serious arm day. I love the Kleen Machine protocol, but it's mostly compound lifts. I just wanted to feel a mean pump...and boy did I get it lol. Hopefully it won't hinder my performance tomorrow.

Yah I am all compound lifts now ... kind of boring as I can't keep the pace high with the heavier sets going down.

[MrMarc]

Compounds lifts are excellent ive been doing that for a long time!, but your right it is a slower pace and can be pretty intense with heavy set esp if your already strong. I think you might like strong-lifts 5x5 modify for you, with like 1-2 day just higher volume and reps.!

It seems they're maybe a friendly competition rearing it head here between DreamWeaver, MrKleen, ScottyDoc and Myself with the goal of getting RIPPED FOR SUMMER. If this be the case I will be dramatically changing my training style...but not until the bridge to Epi-V
