Getting ripped up! LG Natadrol + progress pics

I am currently on my fifth day of Natadrol. Ive been planning to log it. so i figured id start the thread. I dont know whether i should do weekly or daily updates, im leaning towards weekly.

My aim through out the cycle is to loose bodyfat and retain streangth.
Im still on my first week at 4 caps per day and i have started to notice a difference. I really have to take a before after picture as I have already noticed increases in streangth and have already put on 2 kg (4.4 pounds)! Thats before the end of the first week. Im going to put that down to increased water intake; however, i woke up dehydrated this morning for that reading.

Ive been keeping logs of the first few days at home so i can keep good updates.

I plan to increase dosage to 6 a day next week, and am contemplating upping it to 8 perday, however, id need to import another bottle if i am to do this or my cycle will only roughly be 30 days/4 weeks. how much difference does 8 per day make?

My diet will be clean foods as much as i can with the majority of my carb intake occuring before 3pm. I will try not eat carbs after this time. The carb intake will depend on my activity level. I will have two meals with carbs on rest days and 3 with carbs on workoutdays. My friend had good success using this method to cut so i throught id give it a go. Im trying to eat maintenance level calories.

Weight at start of cycle
86 kg
body fat: 18ish percent.
Workout routine: full body split 3 times a week, consisting mainly of compound exersises.

PCT: Formadrol xtreme+DS lean extreme.

Do i need to include anything else?

Okay here is the log so far! I have also attached a picture for comparison at the end of the cycle. Im currently deciding if i want a third bottle to bump my dose to 8 for the cycle-any suggestions?

Natadrol Log

Day 1- No gym

First dose.

I took the first dose this morning at 10am. Approximately 30 mins later I started to get rather thirsty. 45 minutes later I had a huge rush of energy through my body. This was a pronounced feeling in the muscles themselves. I thought this would be very good combined with a pre workout.

I also experienced dramatic appetite increase. I’m very hungry even after finishing a decent sized lunch.

Felt good.


Day 2.

Same as day 1. I urinated more and had a good session at the gym. I had a slight increase in endurance for most exersises. Surprisingly i was not sore.

Day 3- off day. 4 pills.

Day 4: Workoutday Whole body

leg press + jump squats superset x3 sets
deadlift + bent rows superset x 3
Inline dumbell press+incline dumbellcurls superset x3 (dropset on last set)
Cable rows x3
Dips x3 (dropset last)

I had a rough workout this morning. I was running late and had to fit the whole body workout and shower in within one hour before Uni. I vommited midway through the workout after doing supersets of bent rows and deadlifts. As the machine iw as on wasnt really made for deadlifts (bent row machine) my lower back didnt get a great workout.

I bumped up the weight for incline dumbell presses and bicep curls. I was strugling with 44 pound dumbells before my break (recovery) . Today i was the first time ive done them since i came back. I managed 57 pounds each side. This dramatic increase could be because i used to do bench press before dumbbell presses (on 3 day split) and pre exaused the muscle.

On legs press i was struggeling with 180 kg x 10reps before break. Today, I only did 180 kg but on the last set did 30 reps. I didnt have enough time to up the weight. I'll go 200kg next time. I also feet like i was jumping higher in my jump squats.

Overall a hard workout. The vomiting didnt help. However, i guess i did see some improvements.

Day 5. Off day.

Today, i got on the scales first thing. I was dehydrated. my bodyweight was up 2kg (4.4 pounds) WOW!! in the excitment of it all i bumped my doseage to 6. I feel good and have a strong alphamale feeling. I have a **** load of energy and dont want to go to bed.

Subbed. You definitely need at least one, preferably two bottles more.

Oh, I thought you had just one. But I'd still buy one more bottle, you may need quite high dose as you're quite heavy.. But it'll be worth it :)

Yeh, its probably for the best. I'll just bought another bottle. It should arrive in a few weeks

Day 6: off day: Im going to go for a run this arvo.

Im going to go real heavy at the gym tomorrow so i figured i'll have one extra day so im recovered for it.

As far as Natadrol goes. Ive only taken two so far today, about to take another two--but i have increasing feelings of wellbeing.

Another note: i have added doses of Aceyl-carnatine to my list. It could possibly increase androgen receptor response. I thought this would be beneficial with nata-d

Day 8 schedualed day off
3km run, nothing additional to report, rather sore after yesterday's workout.

day 9: unschedualed day off
I had a day off today as ive got university work due in and dont have time to go to the gym. However i went for a three km run this morning. As i'm going away this weekend i can only workrout tuesday wednesday and thursday so i'll change up the workout and do a 3 day split this week.


Im noticing my muscles are hardening up a lot. And i feel pretty good to spite the 4 hours sleep i got last night!

I just had new protein arrive so it will also be easier to get protein at breakfast time now. Ive been struggling the last few days with protein intake. I tried to eat as much meat as i could!

My diet was really **** today. I forgot to take my wallet with me to university and had no money to buy food. Lucky i had my protien powder with me for some energy. I didnt eat anywhere near enough, even for a cut.

That being said, my workout wasn't too bad. I smashed through chins and most of back. I was out of energy by the time I got to reverse flys and biceps. I was happy with my back workout though. It really worked my bi’s hard.

As for natadrol-Still good energy and wellbeing; muscles are rock hard!

Day 11: Workout: Legs and Shoulders

Leg press + Jump squats (superset) x 4
Squats x4
Deadlifts x3
Millitarty press x4
dumbell side laterals x3

DB Shrugs x6 (superset with both side lateral exercises )
Seated Calf raises- 70 reps. Once i reached failure id stop for five seconds until i reached failure again...and again until i got 70
Standing calf raises x4
Ham string curl x4


I did good tonight. I had pleanty of endurance. Did 440 pounds on leg press, 220 on squats and 176 on dead lift. I tried doing 260 on squats but had no spotter. I did 2 reps and racked as i didnt feel stable. I also could of done more on deadlifts, but i couldnt find straps. 176 was as much as i could do without. I only managed 88 pounds on millitary press and 22 pounds on side laterals. My shoulders are probably my weakest body part.

seated calves were 65 pounds. with the high reps i felt like my calves were cramping.
I then did 8 slow reps for standing calves at 88 pounds.



All in all good workout. And im really fuking hungry right now. Looking in the mirror, im starting to cut up a little and getting more definition.

I'm in my fifth week and I just started to notice it really kicking in. Been at 6 caps the last 4 weeks; also thinking about buying another bottle and running it for another week.

Im at day 12 and have been noticing the difference. Im upping to 8 caps today just to experiment. My third bottle should get here in another 8-9 days. I will probably go 8/day when i come back from interstate. I'm there for 4 days. Hopefully the hotel im at has a gym> I'll probably stay at 8 for the rest of the log.

Has natadrol leaned you out much by week 5?

Day 16: After having a short holiday over the weekend i felt guilty as eating healily was hard. I was in the middle of a city i didn't know and no cooking materials in the hotel. That being said, i didnt eat terribly, but it definitely could have been better! I did walk around for like 5 hours a day though so hopefully that counteracted a little.

Back on track today! I also have one workout i didn't log last week. From memory it was pretty good. It had nothing on today though.

Im really tired so i'll keep this one brief.



At the Gym:

Did a full body workout and overall did pretty well

I set prs in leg press, dead lift, lat pulldown,dips and seated calf raises. My vert jump felt like it was higher on my jumpsquats. I have no way to prove this at the moment though. Im just going by feel.

I maintained on incline db bench press and military press and cable row. I stuggled more than usueal on incline DB bench, i think that was due to doing millitary presses beforehand. I dropped down on incline dumb bell curls but my bi's were fried from the lat pulldown.

Good workout concidering my low cals today.

Diet:

Diet was also great and a good change from the bulk mentality ive had since november. I put in a real effort to make meal size smaller.

breakfast. 3 wheat biscuits and protien shake.
meal 2: 160g chicken and vegies + 80 g of fish as i was still hungary
meal 3 protien shake
Meal 4: 160g chicken
Meal 5 preworkout 2 chicken squers, 2 boilt potatos and peas.
Postworkout: 50g protien and a banana
Prebed: just about to go grab that! I dont know what is there. im starving though.

Day 19 off day.

Played some basketball today for the first time in a month. (season break) I thought my shooting ability would have dropped somewhat, but i hit enough shots to leave feeling good.

Im starting to notice recomp effects from Nata. Im starting to get sbetter deffinition everywhere. I have nearly added 1/2 inch to my arms. going from 15' to 15.5' inches. Very happy with that!

Meal 5: Post wokrout shake, Two extra lean beef rissols,a piece of cheese + 2 white breadrolls.
Meal 6 TBA in a few mins. Probably 1 scoop of whey + 2 raw eggs in a shake as i think my cottage cheese is off.

Im cutting up nicely: pics as promised. 1 full flex (bit blurred) 2 trying to do traps, 3 arms---i kind of blocked my tri's out though.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the encouragement.

Day 26: HALF WAY! day off.

I had my first one on one basketball coaching session. It was quite humbling. The coach is great and made me realise i have a lot to learn. It should be a fun ride.

I think i had about 10 natadrol today. I couldn't remember if id taken one dose so i took two more. 40 mins later i was amped, hungry and felt like king ****! I sweated like an absolute pig at training. 10 was nice but not cost effective.

Legs ended up being sore after the basketball.

Day 28: wow its been four weeks...thats gone really fast.

Off day

I ****ed up by left lower back last night by the feel of it. I'll need a few days off! I think i may have jarred it on the millitary press. It didn't feel painful at the time, but I nearly lost balance on one rep and had one very awkward movement/rep.

Nothing much i can do but rest it for a few days and use machines at the gym when i go back this week so i don't have to involve it. That kind of sucks but its better than nothing. I'll streach it and hope for a quick recovery

I saw a physio therapist today to assess damage as it felt like more than a strained back when i woke up thismorning. Ive done some joint injury, and have a damaged muscle that is spasming and pinching a nerve. Ive got to take a few days off and increase my cardio. After a few days i can go back to weights that dont put direct stress on the lower back at 30-50% of my normal load. Then, depending how i feel, increase it 10% each workout thereafter until im back to full steam.

No basketball until its better. Its a bit of a setback :(....but it could have been worse.

Sorry to hear about your injury man. Be VERY careful with the low back. You do not want to permanently damage anything in that area. Rest up!

Thanks man. Yeh, it hurts too much not to take care of it. I'm not normally one to go to a physio or doctor.

The physio recons it did it from exausting the lower back with deadlifts and bent rows. By the time i was doing millitary presses the lower back was just too exausted to deal with the pressure of stabalising the body. I guess that makes sense.

I did have some good news today. One of my good freinds got selected to feature in Muscle fitness magasine today after loosing a lot of weight. hes got three weeks to the photoshoot. Im pretty happy for him. He wants to cut up hard though. Im thinking i might get him onto lean extreme just to help him fine tune b4 the shoot.

anyway, thanks for the kind words.

That's great news for your friend!

With your back, like I said just be careful. I severely damaged mine about 5 years ago and it still plagues me. I was out for over a year. If it's all muscular great. If it's in a disc or threatening one then I can't stress enough to be careful. In the long run you'll be much better off.

Sorry if I sound too doom and gloom it's just that after going through it I hate to see anyone else have that problem. Good luck!

Day 32: First day back
Full body excluding back and abs.

Ive reduced my dose of nata over the last few days back to 6 as i dont think i need the 8 since i cant lift heavy at the moment.

I did about 50 percent of my normal capacity tonight and it felt ok. I did very slow reps at about 15 percent with minimal pausing at the top and the bottem. I got a good burn. Im sure it will do some good.

I did seated machine tri extentions x3
seated calf raise x3
pec dec x3
Machine shoulder press x3
Incline db bicep curls x3
Reverse incline curls x2
lateral raises x4

10 mins cardio at end.

I am noticing i am getting some vascularity back in my arms. I didnt even have a preworkout drink. Body fat must still be lowering.

Thanks bro, good looking out. I did just that and it helped heaps. I then heat packed it when i woke up before work to get it moving.

Day 38, Legs abs

I did 1 hour of basketball preceeding the workout for cardio

I then did 3x

legpress
seated calf raises
lunges
hamstring curls

I then did sets of 20 crunches on the ab machine set on 45 kg.

I didnt go too heavy as a i found a lot of these exersises hurt my back

Day 39: Tri's and back

i did 4 x

T bar rows
wide lat pulldowns
close lat pulldowns
full body dips with 22 pounds attached
close grip benchpress
pushdowns
diamond pushups

I felt like an absolute beast throughout the whole workout. Im thinking i want to try the trifecta stack now.

Im going away for easter weekend.

Im taking a skipping rope with me. I think i'll do 3 mins skipping 5x 50m sprints + 10 burpees and 5 chins each morning. I'll do it in a circuit until l i hit 30 mins. I'll do dips if i can find anything to do them off aswell.

Have a great easter everyone.

Whoa, didn't realize there was a Natadrol log going.

GREAT progress so far me, the cut pics are looking fantastic. Solid work with diet, glad Natadrol is helping you keep up during the cut. Training looks off the hook too, basketball is great for cardiovascular work. I'd always rather go play an hour of bball than run on the stupid treadmill. Keep up the hard work man, doin Natadrol proud.

Day 44, **** not long left now.

First day back today. I ate **** on the weekend out of a need to feel polite as a guest. Meals with virtually no protien and lots of fast carbs. It sucked balls. I tried to eat very small meals. Hopefully i havn't done too much damage.

Today i did chest and shoulders did okay. I felt pretty weak with no energy. Hopefully tomorrow goes better.

I'm changing the workouts up from tomorrow and doing with shorter weight sessions with added cardio. This may mean i will be at the gym efery day but the session will be short. When possible i will do two workouts a day.

For example
Tomorrow:
.
Morning
Biceps+20 mins HIIT
Chins, incline db curl, reverse preacher +cable hammer curl
Afternoon
Basketball training 1 hour +
legs
squat, lunges, calf raise hamstring curl.

I'm trying to place a little more emphasis on cardio to try shed this fat i still have left. No preworkout this week as i am preparing for the arrival of MP assault.

Day 45

Morning
Biceps+20 mins HIIT
Chins, incline db curl, reverse preacher +cable hammer curl

Afternoon
Basketball training 1 hour +

Gym: legs
leg press, lunges, calf raise, hamstring curl.

I did good today and had good strength. The 2 workout split worked well and all that cardio has to have been good for something.

Day 47: Cardio

Bball training for 2ish hours
I had a one on one session with a coach today. Brutal and difficult stuff (fitness wise).

Then went and sore Naughty by Nature live. It was a shame they didnt start till 130am and i arrived at the venue at 9pm. Their performance itself was off the hook though.

Day 51:

I had a **** of a weekend with uni work, i did no physical activity. Stress levels way up. Funnily enough the worst thing i had was last night where i had a bottle of beer at 3am to calm me down to sleep. I was fair stressed though so my cort levels will be high.

Yesterday i smashed out 50 full body dips, 50 chins and 50 pushups on my lunch break, made me feel somewhat better about missing the weekend.

Today i did a full body workout: I ripped **** up tonight maxing out on every apparatus except ones that could irritate by lower back. I also started on Assault for my preworkout tonight. It lives up to the hype!

Machine crunches
99 pounds x30 x30 x20 x30

Not a bad workout by any means

Last day tomorrow of natadrol and unfortunatly it is an off day. Maybee i'll take like 3 pills tomorrow and push it out for one last day of weights.

Side effects: over the last few days my nuts are starting to feel a little achy and a touch smaller. Maybee some suppression comming in over the cycle leangth. However It has been getting really cold here for winter. So i cant be sure. I'll have to have a warm shower and confirm haha. And...i dont know if this can be attributed to nata (alphamale feeling maybee) ive had the biggest urge to punch someone in the face and knock themt he **** out! Anyone, and everyone at work....if they piss me off in even the slightest way i visualize knocking them the **** out! Ive kept it under control though. I cant really afford to loose my job. This has been fairly common over the length of the cycle from about day 14.

I did
4x pec dec
4x seated machine millitary press
4x reverse flys x tripushdowns superset
4 x tbar rows
6 x incline db curls

I think i did some other stuff but i cant remember.

I'll post some more after PCT. Ive really enjoyed natadrol though. I'll do a
review when im not so tired.

Yeh Bro,

I weight myself every morning as soon as i woke up after i had been to the bathroom.
I started the log out at 189 pounds. At my heaviest point in the log i was was 195 pounds This was after my first bottle of nata-d. I was still in the phase of changing my diet mentality from clean bulk to cut. *Id really love to try nata on bulk because of the results i got eating big on it. My arms each grew half an inch (cold flex) in 3 weeks.

At my lowest weight i was 185 pounds. This morning i am about 187 pounds.

My body fat levels were at about 21 percent at the beggining of the log. I had a health check at work just as a i finnished by bulk to inform me of this. THis was measured by scales.4 days ago i got some fat calibers. After taking my measurments i can say i am at about 14% body fat now. My aim is 10%

I have gone from 36.5 inches to 35.5 around my hips and from 35.5 around my waist to 33. I felt that a lot of my weight didnt come off from my stomach, but looking at the photos. It did.
I must admit that i did not do a lot of cardio while on natadrol. I think my results would have been a lot more dramatic if i had. My university workload really smashed me over this whole log. Id love to do it again sometime when i had all the time i neeed to do cardio as well.

REVIEW
STRENGTH: 10/10 Ive never done roids or ph so i dont know what they are like. But i was on a cut and some days (stupidly) i estimate i would have only ate 1500 calories(if that) I still smashed out PR's in the gym. I think my strengths could have gone up more with the assistance of a training partner. For example on the tbar i felt like i could always lift more. However, Due to my injured lower back i struggled to lift more off the ground but thinki oculd have easily repped it out once i got it up there.

Recomp effect:
10/10. FOr the limited cardio i did....look at the pictures....they speak for themselves.

Side effects 7/10: HOwever, all of these sides were forewarned so i had the appropiate method of treatment available to treat it.

Were fairly limited. Achne would be the most obvious one, but it wasnt too bad. I already have a great GF who says she didn't care too much about the achne.

HTPA Suppression:
Towards the last few days (approaching 8 weeks) i felt like this started. BOys were a bit smaller and ached a bit for no reason.

Prostate: cant be sure but i may have had slight enlargement. I had a slight sting when i was urinating for a few days (UTI? most of the symptoms pointed at this) and I was really unfomfortable in the intestinal area. One of the main reasons for a UTI could be an enlarged prostate. My dad is very prone to diverticulitis so I believe this was quite posible. I didnt really stress , i took a laxitive to get rid of the germs and upped my saw pallmetto dosage and it went away.I can not be sure this was related to nata though.

Anger/aggression: Over the last few weeks i have had very high levels of stress. The anger aggression i was getting from nata becomae a little uncontrolable at times. I was ready to flip out and did a few times. Luckily i was by myself at these times (most of the time) because I was at the point where i would have tried to beat someone down . This is not usually like me. Over the wole log i had a large impulse to punch someone in the face when they annoyed me. Again this is not like me ususally. Sure i might think about it, but i wouldnt obcess over it for the next 2 hours haha.

Size gains: NA
I didnt gain a lot of size, but i did at the start of the log. If i had continued to eat big i cant imagine how big id be right now.
