• Today was very light working myself back into the lifts
• The workout felt short and easy so I am anxious to see how much this will help me grow
• I have not started Drive or DTH yet

[TexasLifter89]

• Today I tried 2 tabs of DTH (and will continue this for the recommended time), but will not be starting drive till tomorrow.
• Today was supposed to be my B workout, but I went to the gym only to find out they had closed early.

Proposed Dosing For supplements

• Diesel Test Hardcore: 2 tabs per day for the first 5 days as recommended. Then I will bump up accordingly. I will be cycling 6 days on, 1 day off as recommended as well
• Drive: I will be starting out with 6 caps per day

[TexasLifter89]

Alright guys just took my DTH & drive. I am dividing the DTH doses up 1/1 and the drive dosage up 3/3 for now....

[TexasLifter89]

Day 2

weight 168 (up 4 lbs)

Dosing:

• DTH:2 Tabs (1 @ wake up, 1 Post Workout
• Drive: 6 caps ( 3 caps wake up, 3 caps Pre-workout
• Golden gains: 2 scoops post workout

Squat: working sets 3x5x225
Standing BB Military press: working sets 3x5x115

• Quick workout & great workout! never feels hard during, but I keep feeling great afterwards!
• up 4 lbs already! My body loves the nutrition I am giving it (water weight as well). It feels great to finally eat good, clean, healthy foods again instead of crap cafeteria food.
• I am looking forward to these supplements coming into play! Both are great and excell in what they are used for and they should compliment each other greatly towards my goals

No problem man, I appreciate it. You always have interesting and good things to bring to the table.

Good luck bro, you will prolly respond well to 3-4 Dth a day. Stay focused, and give it hell. Try to notice any increase in aggression, or shortness with people. It just kinda creeps up on ya sometimes.

Is the 2 a day really necessary for the first 5 days or can I go straight to 3-4 a day? I feel stuff, but it's just placebo because I am glad to be back and rededicated for the summer.

i really like this workout program, I have done it twice over that last 2-3 years. 12 to 16 week runs

Dont skimp on the calories or rest.

I highly recommend to be running some sort of stack with this workout program.

good luck........

yeah I have heard it is great that is why I chose it, plus I wanted to get my strength back up to what it used to be. Hopefully I chose a good stack to run with this program, regardless I love drive & DTH seems to be a quality product... so I will get something out of it.

I was looking for the other thread and couldn't find it, then remember you said something about moving it. Anyhow... subbed.

yeah haha. It was in workout log and also had some workouts in it before I decided to introduce these two bad boys (drive & DTH).

Sorry about not informing you and the rest of the gang who was following. I do have a question though for anyone with Riptoe background.... You are supposed to increase your weight by 2.5% per workout, well squats is the only exercise i do 3 times a week, so does that mean increase it each workout day, or just workout A's?

I would say after like 2 days on 2 if you dont have any adverse reactions, its not a huge issue to jump to 3-4.
