Time to grow on EndoSurge (sponsored)

[AntM1564]

I thought I would put this log up tonight, but will not be running the product until Sunday. I had a sinus infection and came back this week, but was still not 100%. I feel like I will be there Sunday and will hit the weights hard.

Goals

My goals are simple with Endosurge; I want to gain no more than one pound and lose a little fat. I was about 220 last time this year; I had a good amount of muscle, but also fat. I wanted to compete in my first show in the summer, but had to lose more weight than I originally thought. I got down to a fairly lean 172 or so. Then, I ran my first test cycle and got to my current weight of 184-186. I am a little leaner than I was at 170. I want to compete this summer and want to SLOWLY put weight on while trying to lose a little fat. I would be happy with putting on .5-1 pound a month.

Expectations

• Increase in strength
• Slight increase in size
• Small decrease in fat
• Improved sleep
• Improved recovery

Training

• Sunday - Chest/Biceps/Forearms
• Monday - Cardio/Abs/Calves
• Tuesday - Back/Traps
• Wednesday - Delts/Triceps/Forearms
• Thursday - Cardio/Abs
• Friday - Legs/Calves
• Saturday - Cardio

I do not have a set number of sets I do, I go more by feel. I have a four week rotation. Basically I will go heavy this week and then each week up the reps for each exercise. The fourth week I do 12 reps every set every exercise.

Diet

I weight myself daily so cals fluctuate a little bit every day. Cardio days I will usually have 500-800 less than lifting days. Also, I have no carbs on cardio days except from the carbs that come from almonds and broccoli. On training days I only have 2 carb meals (pre and post workout). I will post up my diet on Sunday for that day.

Other Supplements

• NOW Adam
• NOW Vitamin D 5,000 iu
• NOW Vitamin B-100
• Nutraplanet Omega 3
• NOW Vitamin C 1000
• Xtend
• Nutra BCAA (during cardio)
• Combat Powder

Good stuff man, nice set up you have going. I just got over a sinus infection and am fighting off the last of a respiratory infection, it sucks for real!

It sure does! Especially when in sitting in class and everyone around you has something similar; there is no escaping it. I am going to train legs today so I am going to post my diet for today so anyone that looks in here can get a sense of what my diet will be on lifting days while I'm on Endosurge. I will also post up my diet for tomorrow which is cardio. I also use three other supplements I forgot to mention: ON Creatine, Nutra Na rALA (1 scoop pre workout and two with my post workout meal), Slin Sane (just one cap pre workout, none on cardio days).

Diet

4,650 cals
Protein - 461.4g (39%)
Carbs - 255.1g (55.2g fiber) (21%)
Fats - 203.9 (39%)

The diet I follow calls for LBM in carbs on workout days, but I modified it to what I want to be lean (hence the ~200g after fiber).

Glad to see you're feeling better! Man, that's a lot of food - I'm jealous - I'm recomping right now and the only time I'd get to eat that much is on a cheat day!

It's actually a little annoying to eat all of that! Sometimes I feel disgusted. I am able to eat that much I think because of the decrease in cals on non lifting days and the intensity of my cardio. Here is today's session. This can also serve as a bench mark to see where I am on my last week of Endosurge when I do this type of workout again.

Tomorrow is the big day! Here is the diet I'll be following for cardio days while running Endosurge. Also, yesterday I weighed in at 184.4 and this morning 185. Although I am going by the mirror, I still check my weight to see if I should adjust my calories slightly.

Today I just did 1 hour of fasted cardio keeping my heartrate around 145-153.

Diet

4,000 cals
Protein - 457.9 (45%)
Carbs - 99.2 (46.1 fiber, 10%)
Fat - 201.8 (45%)

Question for the reps, the dosing is 2 caps 3 times a day. ! dose being pre bed. Should the other 2 doses just be split evenly? Pre workout, post workout? And does it matter if I take it with food; I know the label says either way.

 

[Resolve]

Man, I hate weighted step-ups. Good on ya for doing 'em, I just cannot stand those things.

I just hate them because they feel like they take forever to do. My partner and I were getting weird looks because we're both pretty built and no one other than females do step ups.

Resolve, can you answer this question? Question for the reps, the dosing is 2 caps 3 times a day. ! dose being pre bed. Should the other 2 doses just be split evenly? Pre workout, post workout? And does it matter if I take it with food; I know the label says either way.

Took my first dose with my preworkout meal. It is too soon to tell if it was the product, but I was a little more vascular during my workout. I am going to take my second dose with my third meal and the last dose pre-bed.

Weight

185 pounds. I am aiming to be weigh no more than 186 by the end of the 30 days. I am really trying to recomp and want to bring up my conditioning a little more. I already have visible veins in my adonis belt that run up my torso, some in the back of my triceps, chest, visible veins in the quads, and a vein in the back of my right calf that starts up high and run downs to my ankle.

Diet

I will also post my meals so that people can get a sense of what I'm eating and when. Note that this is my diet every lifting day; if the cals are decreased or increased then I added or subtracted something somewhere.

As far as taking the doses just split them up evenly. Also if you want more test effects take it with food as that will help the nettle root absorb.

If you want the gh output to be bigger (which keep in mind you will already have that pre-bed) take it 20-30 minutes prior to a meal.

Hope this helps bro and great log thus far.

Thanks man. I just wanted people that are reading to see what the the diet is like. I always eat the same stuff, but I'll have a cheat meal once in a while and I'll post it when I do.

I think I'll stick with the first two doses with food then, thanks!

Day 2

Weight - 185.2

Just did some ab work, HIIT cardio, and calves this morning. I had some very vivid and crazy dreams last night. Also, I was able to get back into a deep sleep after waking up to use the bathroom twice. I was a little more groggy when I woke up this morning. This could have been due to the time change. I will monitor my sleep to see if it is Endosurge that is giving me the dreams.

Cals - 3,800
P/C/F - 45/10/45

No starchy carbs today, only greens and almonds for my carb sources. About 45g of fiber as well.

 

[oufinny]

I noticed the very deep sleep I get from Endo leaves me groggy, it is par for the course with it. Anytime you have a large release of GH that is going to happen; I get the same thing from Finaflex G8.

 

[Resolve]

Don't forget we lost an hour this week too - so we all feel like we're getting up an hour earlier than our clocks say. It's been messing me up.

 

[AntM1564]

Sorry for not updating the past two days. This was my busy week with school (every other week I have an extra class) and it was midterm week since spring break started today, so I was not on a computer except to do work. I have been eating a lot, 4,500 cals yesterday and 4,700 today, but my weight is at 183.6. However, my strength is there so I am not too disappointed. Recomping sucks, I hate seeing the scale go down, but I love the way I look. Tuesday for deadlifts my final set was 3x445. My PR is 505 from about 5 or 6 weeks ago. I am going to go for 510 or 515 in two weeks. My shoulder workout today was also very strong. I also noticed I am a little more aggressive. Also, I do not know if it is because of the sudden warm weather, but I have been sweating a lot more than usual. Finally, I have not been groggy when waking up now; I think it was the time change. I am feeling more refreshed. I will have a better update tomorrow.

On a side note, I am looking for a bodybuilding show to take place in around June-August. This is my first time looking into joining a show and I am a little lost. The only ones I have found in CT are pro qualifiers and I do not think I am ready for that yet as my first show. If anyone knows how to find shows, any help would be appreciated.

 

[Resolve]

Enjoy spring break!

Doing a show is a big commitment - good luck!

 

[3clipseGT]

Definitely good luck once you find a show!

 

[AntM1564]

Strength has been great. Despite my weight fluctuating up and down, I am a little stronger than a week and a half ago. I am currently at 185.2. I am really focusing on leaning out just to make sure I can compete in August. Recovery has been better, nothing amazing, but my legs are taking one less day to feel normal. Two big things I have noticed at acne (we have had warm weather here lately so I do not know if it is that or the increase in free test causing my oily skin. Also, the sleep is AMAZING! It is hard to explain, but I feel as though I am sleeping longer even though I am not. I think Endosurge puts one in such a deep sleep that causes this. I know it is putting me in a deep sleep because I always have the most outrageous dreams. There has not been one night where I haven't had any of these crazy dreams. Even if I wake up to use the bathroom, I fall right back asleep and dream. Sometimes I wake up before my alarm feeling refreshed too.

 

[Resolve]

Yup, the dreams have become a trademark of Endosurge. They're pretty cool, to say the least.

Love the vivid dreams I get...and by vivid I mean pornographic lol

 

[3clipseGT]

Yea the dreams get pretty rediculous i must say. I love em though!

 

[oufinny]

Yea the dreams get pretty rediculous i must say. I love em though!

Endo for me is pretty much as close a vivid and wet dream creator as exists. When I ran it at 9 caps per day it was off the freaking chain.

 

[AntM1564]

Love the vivid dreams I get...and by vivid I mean pornographic lol

The ones I've been having are about 40% pornographic lol. Libido is also higher.

Did legs today, felt very good. Squats were are 315x5, 315x5, 315x4, then 335x4. Strength is still there even with all the cardio I am doing and I am also leaner and definitely more vascular. Weight was at 184.4. This Sunday I am entering my second week. With my new goals, I will be content with weighing the same or a little less since I am definitely leaner.

 

[oufinny]

So how is this going for you? It sounds like strength and leaning up, pretty much win win!
