TNT- Steveo Style

[Steveoph]

I tried to split the dose like you have been doing and it was a huge pain.

I know all too well lol. When tapping it into my mouth, sometimes I get a bit more than half. But what I've started I'll finish even if it makes me go

[DreamWeaver]

I will be running this stack early in the new year after my first Prime run, I will use it to bridge between Prime runs actually. I was thinking 9 weeks Prime break then 30 days TNT break 9 weeks Prime 30 days TNT. I will run TNT with Neovar.

Back/Shoulders

Workout:
Deadlifts: 6,7,6 2 (Not much energy/tired)
BB Trap Shurgs: 4x12
BB Shoulder Lifts: 3x10
Dips: 4x Exhaustion Supersetted w/ Shoulder Press 4x10 + Drop Sets

Comments:
Today was just an "off day". Didn't have enough energy to get through my deadlifts, my banana + yogurt + wpc shake didn't kick in enough, perhaps I needed more banana! The hamstrings are still sore from the SLDL, which I think negatively impacted my deads, and also made my sprints quite difficult. Also I think I may be getting sick or overtrained, because I can feel it in my body. I will probably take tomorrow off, no sprints. I'll run to go get groceries, but that's not as taxing on the CNS.

Resveratrol dosing is getting tedious to say the least. I've been perfect until now though, I byaccidentally swallowed the TRez with all my others pills I took in a baggie for PWO. I had some excellent sleep last night after a terrible Sunday night (Had a course decision on my mind and lost 1.5hrs easy).

I'll check the scale tomorrow, but I'm eat slightly above maintenance because I can see body comp fluctuations between my high carb WO days and low-carb days. I'm pseudo carb-cycling because I'll eat ~70g carbs before and after my workouts on my weight days which I won't do on my sprints days. I'm on a 5 day cycle though, so 3/5 of mod. high carbs isn't like the usual scheme. Libido and aggression are feeling about normal, no crazy stories/events to note. Still trying to assess Resveratrol's effects, but this will take time.

Dreamweaver By the New Year we should have a few nice natty additions you can do with the TNT stack if all goes according to plan.

Do tell...

Are you taking your preworkout shake to close to your workout maybe... I know deads are hard with too much in your stomach... has a tendancy to make you feel tired. That's why I don't usuall do a pre - workout shake, I will eat a piece of fruit maybe but like my stomach to be nice and empty... Just a thought.

Well last week I had 12.5g WMS, 20g WPI, and 1.5 Scoops JP8 (So 12g carbs) and the lifts went much better. It's on morning when I need to workout before class that I do a shake beforehand.

Clearly WMS/WPI digests much quicker and I realize now I need something like that in the future, but I did a banana/yogurt/wpc shake because it tastes so good I wanted a little treat lol. And yea my stomach was definitely too full, with icecubs included it's close to 1.3 L

ahhhh well that's it then, deads are bad on a partially full stomach as are all the big lifts really...

Rock on buddy. Again, like Hanks, don't want to read your observations quite yet. I'll be back though.

[Steveoph]

A little food for thought.

Pizza + Chicken Tenders




Bison Steak + Veggies (Check out the George Foreman Grillmarks)




1/2 Typical Omelet + Veggies

[DreamWeaver]

Looks good... what are there 6 eggs in that omelette...

[Hank Vangut]

nice cookin.

[Steveoph]

Looks good... what are there 6 eggs in that omelette...

3 Whole Eggs, 1 cup (Roughly) Egg Whites, and 1/2c. Milk. I usually sautee the mushrooms, onions, peppers, zucchini and broccoli first. During the summer I was eating that for one meal, but now I split it into two to save time on cooking, and add extra cals through some pre-cooked ground beef, cheese etc.

OFF DAY/Cardio

Well I felt that I was over training, so I didn't do my usual HIIT sprints. I did however run 20 minutes across town to buy some cheaper groceries and back, plus a fair bit of running around on campus so it was a fair bit of cardio still.

I've leaned out a little bit from what I can see. Should be about 10% again.I think I'm going to up the cals a bit more, make full use of that extra testosterone. I can cut later, 10% if skinny enough. I don't eat junk anyways, and I find I don't put on fat as long as I don't eat too much before bed.

Also I seem to have a problem, I'm buying salad & ingredients faster than I can eat them. As you can see, I've upped the size of my bowl! There's some chicken tenders, no fat with this meal because I demolished my pistachio supply 30 minutes beforehand

Man, I always have that same problem. Pistachios are just too damn yummy.

Comments:
Not a bad workout. I downed 20g WPI, 20g WMS & 1.5 scoops JP8 and was expecting to be floored, but really only had an average workout (See below). I haven't had that much muscle growth in the past 2 weeks, but today I realized this was due to my increased caloric expenditure. During the summer I was eating this much and growing quite well, but I wasn't nearly as active b/c no school. This all clicken in when I after running back from physio volunteering when I was trying to fall asleep but was too damn hungry. Probably pounded down 500 cals before bed, which I really should be spreading out through the day.

So now my goal is up to up my calories by 600/day, eat more ground flaxseeds, almonds, broke open another 3lb bag of pistachios. I need to follow the adage, eat big!

Reset-AD Mini-Review

After close to 3 weeks on Reset-AD, I'm stopping. I was hoping to get really buzzed from JP8, but I honestly can't tell a difference between taking JP8 before my RAD run and after.

The reason for my lack of responsiveness to RAD is probably because my adrenals weren't as burned out as I thought. I finished school in late April, went on two 1-week vacations during the summer, and had a relatively relaxing May-August. I stayed off stims most of the time except for a tub of JP8 in late July/August. I have heard rave reviews from reliable friends, so I believe this product isn't designed for a person in my situation.

The benefits I was looking for from the write-up were " * Re-energize the effects & sensitivity towards stimulants
* Eliminates fatigue & stress caused by poor adrenal function
* Provides support for improved adrenal system function without removal from one's daily stressful environment.
* Works effectively with PreWorkout and Energy Supplements.

Resensitize your body to stimulants by taking control of your of adrenal health with Reset-A.D. and eliminate the root cause of your fatigue.

Recharge your stimulants with Reset-A.D. and put the explosiveness back into your workouts. "

In conclusion, unfortunately Reset-AD has not lived up to its' claims in my particular case. I would not purchase this product again, but considering its very reasonable price tag and results others have experienced, I would still recommend it to a friend that is suffering from symptoms of adrenal fatigue. Perhaps Anabloc Edge is PAL's product for me.

Calf Presses; 4x30s
DB Obliques; 4x10
Machine Horizontal Squat; 3x12

Comments:
Seems like a short workout, but was exhausting. Started off on the wrong foot because I missed my cell-phone alarm, damn thing was on snooze. So I didn't take my JP8-WPI-WMS mix I made the night before b/c the JP8 wouldn't kick in quick enough, so just did WPI & WMS. Didn't do stiff-leg deads so I can do some HIIT sprints and deadlifts tomorrow. I'm focusing hard on my core since I've slacked on it for a while.

An interesting side I hadn't realized is an increase in scalp sensitivity. I remember complaining about it about 2 weeks after starting divanil post-surgery and thought it was just my genetics (my dad has severe dandruff) , but Hank noticed it too. That was before I started the resveratrol, so I believe the Divanil is responsible for that.

Incase you missed it in my last post, I'm upping my cals by ~600-700/day. I've got all this testosterone free, I don't want to waste it. I've just picked up 5 lbs of cashews, pistachios and almonds And eggs are back on sale for $1.69/dozen, so I'm aiming for hypertrophy with minimal fat gain using my HIIT, Green Tea, CLA & Sesamin.

Here's today's lunch: My home-made Extra Lean Sirloin Angus Beef Burger on Sprouted WW Bread.

So will TNT be available again and will it be the same TNT?

ETA??????????????????????/

ETA?

The TRez is getting an upgrade to include Bioperine, but will only be 60 ct. per bottle instead of 120. It should be in stock early this coming week.

Deadlifts!
WOrkout:
Deads 245x 10,10,10,9,8,8,7.5,8.5,8.5,7 (9 total)
Leg Raises 4x10
HIIT Sprints, 11 sets

Comments:
Usually I do deads + shoulders tomorrow but I find it too tiring, so I decided to move my deadlifts up a day on their own. Absolutely killed my back, went back to GVT style vs. going a bit heavier for 5x5. The HIIT sprints really well, added in an extra set.

My hunger is big, but I'm pounding down tons of food. Upped to omelet to 4 eggs 1c. Egg whites + 1/2c. Milk each, and added an extra meal in. Going to bulk up , and I'm hoping to get 70% muscle to 30% fat atleast.

Technical Question: for those in the know about divanil; I know it's supposed to be cycled after 8 weeks. Does anybody know how the body regulates this; I believe it decreases total testosterone to adjust, but does it increase SHBG too?

[Steveoph]

Shoulders/Bi's

HIIT: 10 Sprints
Comments:
Traps/Rhomboids were pretty sore for dead's yesterday in addition to lower back. Hams were fine. Everything went quite well in the gym today with no stims or anything. Had some great chili as a PWO meal; I had a solid pre-WO meal and BCAA's, so I didn't feel like I needed a carb boost.

Today I could see myself definitely leaner than yesterday despite upping my cals. My metabolism was fiery hot after those deads and sprints. On Monday, I felt a bit puffier from all the cals today so I know I'm over my requirements today, not quite as revved up as yesterday.

The hair/scalp itchiness is less noticeable, although still definitely sensitized (Gave it a scratch to check ) .


Monday : OFF DAY
No HIIT, No nothing. Barely ran around to class at all. Also I've kept my carbs ultra-low to give a shock to my body. Probably only about 30g over the whole day, and those are all from veggies (Green Beans, Peppers, Lettuce).
And my bison steak was overdone, bad evening lol. On the plus side, I got loaded up with some salt-free pistachios and cashews. The pistachios taste like arse though, they're a bit stale despite being bought yesterday!

HIIT: 10 Sprints

Comments:
Didn't finish strong because a gym working at the gym started talking about his weight training program for seniors and after almost 10 minutes I just didn't feel like getting back into the flow of things.

Not too much aggression to note, and my scalp isn't bothering my although the skin is still slightly oily (Washing my face when I wake up + showering PWO takes care of it, no acne to note).
Muscle density was very high last night after only having 30g of carbs; had some great striations in my chest without having worked out all day! This morning I took 35g WMS, 20g WPI, Swell, and 1.5 scoops JP8 for about 45g of carbs and I managed to have enough energy to do my weights & HIIT. I was worried about my glycogen stores but that seemed to be plenty.

Hunger is definitely up, even with me adding about 500 cals/day. I stopped doing as much HIIT, but getting back into it, I can see some more definition in my abs. Also increasing the ab work is hitting it from a 2nd angle. I really need to do some research and find some new ab moves to tear them up. I do swiss ball brunches, leg raises, cable pulldowns. I also started with a 35lb plate, lying on the floor with the plate in my hands, and meeting my legs above my body.

Side note: I have gone through 2lbs of UP 2.0 Chocolate Peanutbutter in exactly 20 days, while making only 1 shake. The rest was consumer straight powder

Here's 2nd dinner. My angus burger on WW Sprouted Break + Frozen Veggies (Busy night).
