COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~5 hours.
Mood/Aggression: I just feel flat.
Energy: I can't seem to muster my usual hyper, aggressive energy, but I DO have energy - just more composed, like I am on autopilot.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Finally, broke through a roadblock I was feeling re study, settling in for my last huge assessment.
Stress: Sometimes stress levels get so high that you forget what it's like to ever NOT be stressed.
Joints: Left knee was niggling a little.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: Lower reps means higher weights.
Pump: Not much.
Vascularity: Reasonable.
Quality of Training: Training was good. Cardio passed quickly, compared to how it has been the last few weeks. Resistance training was over and done with before I knew it as well.
Recovery: Great.
Other Notes: I run out of my current tubs of EndoAmp Max and Organic VitaBerry today (changes reflected in post #1), and seriously can't wait for fresh supplies to arrive.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
What world would we build if given the chance, allowed to imagine and dream, set free on a path of creative and artistic vision, where emotion and feeling made the colours swirl and fade and turn into something else?

My first tub of EndoAmp Max gone . . .
What is it?
* Prevents the rise in cortisol following exercise
* Improves the testosterone to cortisol ratio
* Amplifies Testosterone and Growth Hormone production
* Promotes muscle growth, speeds recovery and reduces muscle soreness
For the product write-up, please see Primordial Performance: EndoAmp Max.
Smell: 2/10. EndoAmp Max smells like a chemical - hard to put my finger on, but almost like nail polish or varnish.
Taste: 5/10. I have gotten used to it, even though if I don't down it pretty fast, it's still nasty.
Solubility: 10/10. On shaking there was no trace of the powder and no clumps or excess was left in the water or on the bottom of the shaker.
Texture: 10/10. Like fruit juice diluted with water.
Cortisol Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Cortisol levels from pre to post-EndoAmp Max, I did not have bloods done. I will note that my stress levels are ALWAYS HIGH.
Testosterone Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Testosterone levels from pre to post-EndoAmp Max, I did not have bloods done.
Growth Hormone Levels: N/A. Although I would have liked to see the changes in my Growth Hormone levels from pre to post-EndoAmp Max, I did not have bloods done.
Muscle Growth: 7/10. Please note that throughout my usage of EndoAmp Max, I was also using (and only recently finished) Triazole, as well as IGF-2, so any results re muscle/lean growth can be attributed to a combination off ALL those products. When I started using EndoAmp Max, I was 9% bodyfat at 111.6 pounds, and are currently 9.5% bodyfat at 115 pounds. Over that month I had a final gain of 3.4 pounds at a ratio of 2.7 to 1 increase in lean mass (+2.5 pounds) and bodyfat (+0.9 pounds) respectively, with the lean mass gains made in my shoulders.
Recovery: 5/10. The last month my training has been all over the place. My recovery has also been all over the place - great some days and other days the training from the day before taking more out of me than it should have.
Overall: N/A. The last month (and just before that) have been very UNcharacteristic of me, and I have been UNcommonly inconsistent, with my training and nutrition unusual and all over the place. NOTHING has gone as planned and everything has been readjusted and readjusted again over this period from what my goals, etc. were at the start. Because of this, I do not feel that I gave EndoAmp Max a fair trial, and therefore cannot assign it an "overall" score.
Would I use again? Yes. Because of how things have been over the last month, I feel and know that I did not really give EndoAmp Max a decent chance at showing me what it was capable of doing, and I want to do this. Besides, because my stress levels are ALWAYS HIGH and my training is usually VERY INTENSE, I need a cortisol control product as a staple.
Would I recommend? Yes. The science behind EndoAmp Max is solid, and it can be used continually, unlike most cortisol control products, making it perfect as a staple.

My first tub of Organic VitaBerry gone, and I can barely wait for my new one to get here!!!
What is it?
* 100% Organic Freeze-Dried Six-Berry blend
* Low Sugar : Maximum Phyto-Nutrients
* No Artificial Sweeteners or Flavors
* Makes bulk supplement powders taste like tropical punch
For the product write-up, please see Primordial Performance: Organic VitaBerry.
Smell: 10/10. Like Heaven: A fusion of raspberry, cranberry, and strawberry. It's a bit like MaliBobu - I could smell it all day! Absolute perfection!
Taste: 10/10. Exactly like it smells. Seriously the BEST tasting supplement product I have ever tried - and I've used quite a few products that have tasted great.
Solubility: 10/10. On shaking there was no trace of the powder and no clumps or excess was left in the water or on the bottom of the shaker.
Texture: 10/10. Like fruit juice diluted with water. The surprise was the berry seeds that were scattered throughout the solution - made me feel like I was drinking a drink of berries that I'd put in the blender! Added that extra touch that made me like, mmmm.
Mixing with Bulk Powders: 10/10. Organic VitaBerry goes with anything. When I first started using it, I mixed it with my EndoAmp Max, and it overtook the taste of the latter, making it nice. I still dose it with my BC+EAA, and it mingles with the Watermelon-Kiwi flavour of the latter to give a fresh, fruity/berry flavour. Definitely very versatile and can be mixed with anything.
Overall: 10/10. I loved Organic VitaBerry from the FIRST dose. Not only is it the BEST tasting supplement product that I have ever used, but it also provides many antioxidant and heath benefits. I never want this to leave my cupboard!
Would I use again? Yes. Organic VitaBerry is now a STAPLE in my supplement arsenal.
Would I recommend? Yes. Absolutely! If you haven't already tried Organic VitaBerry, you're missing out!

Nice reviews. Im pretty spot on with your assesment, except for the endoamp taste. I find it to be slighly nutty, and I can even just orally take the powder when dosing in a rush.
Just inject.
Guess we're all different. It's definitely more manageable than the first time I tried it - that was BAD, and I'm glad it stayed DOWN.
I'm not even going to attempt using EndoAmp Max straight to the mouth (it's bad enough on its own mixed with just water) - might get the same effect I did when I did that with Yellow Gold, LOL (never again!)![]()

EndoAmp tastes like powdered wasabi peas without much "kick". just really bland wasabiI take the powder directly on the tongue and wash it down just to get it over with asap.

COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~5 hours - let's hope that it STAYS normal from now on!
Energy: I have none.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Actually getting into my assessment now - once on a roll, focus is CONCENTRATED.
Stress: Might have to do something about this VERY soon.
Joints: Left elbow still clicking. Mid back aching a little.
Endurance: Ok.
Strength: Good.
Quality of Training: HIIT Run was slow - the slowest ever. I just had no energy. Even my efforts were pitiful . . . Resistance training was heavier weights, less reps, less sets to make for less overall duration than usual . . .
Recovery: Noticing that the heavier weights are definitely taking more out of me.
Body Composition and Look: Seeing upper abs better than I was at the start of the week. Obliques as well.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
Do we ever truly know what we are capable of? So many people become and are what others want them to be, trying to please others, that I wonder if they ever really know who and what they are, or whether they are even capable of knowing . . .

Awesome.
Nobody is capable of knowing what they are trully designed to excell at since development is largely produced through the enviornment. For example, everyone on these boards in some way or another received influence from a source to get them into bodybuilding. Had that influence not been present, the would have probably found another hobby (from another influence) that they dedicate themselves to.
Just inject.
When I wrote this question, I wasn't actually thinking of "what are we capable of re excellence?", but more along the lines of "what are we capable of as a person?", such as "do we ever really know ourselves and what we can be pushed to do, etc.?" Make sense? Not to say that what you said is not true either, John, because it is.

COMMENTS
Mood/Aggression: Calm and flat.
Energy: I don't feel like doing much today, and now that training is out of the way, I'll probably just study and work for the rest of the day.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Preparing for it.
Stress: Sometimes it comes to a point and you HAVE to do something about it.
Joints: Left wrist giving me a little trouble today - has been quite sore since riding to work on Tuesday night (riding on the road is obviously different to on the rollers re jarring, although I did have my hands positioned differently). Icy on and off, indicating nerve issues there as well . . . Mid-back has been aching since yesterday - think it's probably the heavier Behind-the-neck Military Presses that I have been doing. Will keep an eye on it . . . For about a week or so now, I've been able to twist my neck and have it click 'back into place' (much like I've been able to do with my lower back for the last six years) . . .
Endurance: Fine.
Strength: Going to have to look at how I can lift heavy whilst minimizing stress to my left wrist again.
Pump: There.
Vascularity: This has been pretty good - lots of ropes over my arms.
Quality of Training: Cardio was steady and easy . . . Resistance training was good . . .
Recovery: Recovery is getting back to normal. My body just needed a week to adjust to the new training schedule, etc.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
What is it that you want that you have never been able to have?

I don't want to get too off topic, but you must be incredibly strong because I cannot shake vitaberry without clumps... no matter how hard I try. I love the stuff, but I would give it a 1 or 0 out of 10 in terms of solubility. Unless I am doing something wrong it clumps up bad for me.
Now, good luck with this cycle, as you know from answer my questions, I am running Erase+Titanium soon... maybe I'll log.
Thanks
