On leg days, I do it before as my warm up.. I don't think I could run after legs...

Gotcha. Still impressive.

Gotcha. Still impressive.

Thanks man.. How are you enjoying Mass HGH/Testodrol?

Thanks man.. How are you enjoying Mass HGH/Testodrol?

I love it. Results have been better than I expected. Only draw back is occasional grogginess because it puts you in such a deep trance like state during sleep.

Overall Feeling: 9 - Had 2 consecutive days off and woke ready to get back at it!
Aggression: 4
Energy: 9 - Great energy throughout workout and my run.
Libido: 7
Endurance: 9 - Felt like I could just keep going after my calves 7's. Was a great strong feeling.
Strength: 9 - Feeling stronger again this week and a couple of PR's...
Pump: 10 - So this morning I tried Slin Sane with about 40g of carbs before my workout. From about the 3 set of preachers on, my biceps just rose from my arms. And triceps were screaming by the end.

Skin: still oily, but not as bad as last week was.
Sleep Quality: 8 - another really good sleep.


***** 3 week update ************

Definite increase in pump, vascularity, strength, and libido over the last 4-7 days. I feel good energy, endurance, recovery still. In fact, there is no aspect of this stack yet that has lessened...everything has increased and I think there is more to come as far as strength increases go.

I am noticing one thing though. Although my energy levels are great, endurance is high, and I am sleeping soundly and feel rested in the morning. I find as the day wears on I am feeling a little 'worn out' / exhausted. Is there any chance it could be even partially due to the fact that I am using a 'one a day' style vitamin? Or perhaps not having enough cal's? I am not evening going to think about the word overtraining, lol.

[chedapalooza]

Awesome update.. Vitamins could be it.. Hydration? Over training is too individual and too commonly used. You know your body, if motivation and energy is low, then back off.. I tool it 'easy' for about 3 weeks just recently.. Finally went back to some heavier weights today and it felt great and my muscles responded so well. Strength was equal if not better than before I dialed it down..

[Colbicide]

Loving those PR's aren't you?!

[fumoney]

Great workout wasme. I really loved the energy aspect of Licogenix. Did not expect it, but welcomed it with open arms.

Thanks. Funny you would say hydration. I have been drinking alot, but yesterday I couldnt get enough water into me. I might as well have had a garden hose strapped to my shoulder.. consumed a ton of water.

Loving those PR's aren't you?!

As you know, feels great to see the number climb Colbi!

Great workout wasme. I really loved the energy aspect of Licogenix. Did not expect it, but welcomed it with open arms.

Pleasantly surprised by how much energy I have had during probably 90% of my workouts...

Cardio: 5.2km (1km jog to track, 3.2km hiit (20 sec fast, 10 sec slow), 1km jog home)

Overall Feeling: 8
Aggression: 4
Energy: 7 - not the same level of energy I have had up to this point.
Libido: 6 - taking a slight hit with the libido as well.
Endurance: 7 - as with my energy, my endurance was not there today like it has been. Felt like giving up when the weight dropped for close-grip...just ran out of steam. I do realize though that it happens from time to time, and next week I will bounce back.
Strength: 8 - strength just wasn't the same today. I started off strong, stepping up weight faster than last week on my bench - but from there everything leveled out or as with close-grip I just couldn't get the job done.
Pump: 8
Vascularity: 8
Recovery: 9 - no muscle soreness, but tired.
Joint Health: 9
Skin: seems to be drying back up
Sleep Quality: 7 - better sleep last night at 5 hours. Mind you this was my fault as I stayed up too late.


Not feeling as good the last few days as I have the rest of the time on the stack. I remember though when I was on the Prime/Anabeta stack, I had the same experience in week 4 or 5. At that time I ensured I got more sleep, and added more carbs to my diet. So will give that a go...

[wasme]

Congrats on the PR !!!

Yeah man great PR's! Gotta feel good to keep beating PR's

Thanks guys, definitely. Funny how today I felt like I was in a rut. I will get more sleep tonight, and bounce back tomorrow.
