Kenpo vs BPS Elimistane

[kenpoengineer]

Sponsored BPS Elimistane Log.

My thanks to the reps for BPS for allowing me to log their new estrogen and cortisol control product called Elimistane.

I have used estrogen control products in the past but never anything to control cortisol. This supplement also contains a seaweed extract called Eucheuma cottonii that is rich in nutrients and polyphenolic compounds that some research has indicated has similar effects to tamoxifen:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23441613/

I have current blood tests and plan to update in 30 days. I'm dosing 1 cap of Elimistane in the morning just before my workout.

Other supplements I'll be taking:
Glucosamine, Joint Help, Multivitamin, WPI and Fish Oil. Nothing else.

As of now here are my stats:
Height 5'6". Weight 160 lbs Age 54

Workouts:
All my morning, fasted workouts are on a daily basis in my garage gym. They are generally 1 to 1.5 hours long and utilize combinations of an Ironmaster machine and free-weights.

Lately I've been using a One Lift A Day (OLAD) routine and train using a HR monitor to time when my HR returns to a point that I can begin the next set.

Feel free to post anything you'd like to motivate or make me do my best. If my weights for any lift seem "off" it might be due to incorrect form. Don't flame me (PM me instead) as I'm still learning. Welcome to my log!

BPS Elimistane Review

Thank you to BPS and it's reps for allowing me the opportunity to log Elimistane for four weeks.

I dosed 1 cap preworkout for my fasted morning workouts.

Observations
1) No GI issues.
2) No BP or HR issues.
3) Improvement in sleep.
4) Experienced drying and hardening of the muscles
5) As expected, the joints are dry but nothing that the joint support doesn't counteract.
6) Libido increased.
7) Appetite decreased about week 2 and had to force myself to eat.
8) No lifting performance increases noticed but felt a little "alpha".
9) This is a serious cutter compound. I was eating at maintenance plus 200 and was losing weight (160 to 155) and waist size (35 1/4 to a solid 34). I had to increase calories another 200 calories to halt the loss.

Bloodwork Results
First, I have to say that I'm 54 and my test levels have been slowly dropping for years. I'm a potential candidate for TRT (my father also had low T):

Fasted bloodwork came back today. Both of these blood draws were at 9 AM:

August 27
Total Test 487 (348-1197)
E2 26.7 (7.6-42.6)
LH 7.6 (1.7-8.6)
FSH 5.8 (1.5-12.4)

Today
Total Test 378 (348-1197)
E2 28.7 (7.6-42.6)
LH 6.4 (1.7-8.6)
FSH 5.9 (1.5-12.4)

Closing Thoughts
If you want a serious cutting compound then try Elimistane.

Good lifting to you all!!

Nice shoulder/trap volume. I can't do shrugs after OHP, my traps wanna cramp, LOL.

I use a lot of trap when I OHP, I think. They are always a little sore afterwards. I did alot of volume yesterday on Bench, OHP, Face Pulls, Pendlay Rows and tri/bi work. I'm feeling it today. Dat Katana/Vaskular endurance

Thanks all! I'm very blessed to have the garage gym!

Good stuff in here so far!

 

[kenpoengineer]

Thanks everyone for joining in the fun!

 

[kenpoengineer]

Last night the northeast Ohio area declared a snow emergency! Lol. Took me 3 hours to drive 25 miles! Main highways were an ice sheet causing 18 wheelers to jack knife blocking roads.

Heading to Anaheim CA tomorrow for 9 days. Hopefully there is a decent gym there!

 

[turff49]

That's a good reason to move south...

Enjoy your trip to Cali! There are plenty of 24hr fitness centers out there so you shouldn't have any problems finding a decent gym.

 

[skinnybones]

Kenpo you'll only be 40 mins. Away from me. It's pretty nice out here right now. Hit me up if you want to go diving.

this mirrors my experience's with arimistane, drying out very early on....kenpo, have you used arimistane before?

 

[RegisterJr]

Exactly this.

You can move to my street. I have the perfect garage for your gym equipment.

 

[Misfit28]

Safe travels, my man! Heading to DC on Sunday until next Wednesday, hoping to hit up a gym twice while I'm there. Safe travels!

Glad to hear that the Elimistane is kicking in for you.

I have indeed used arimistane. My joints usually start drying out and cracking but nothing joint supplements don't take care of.

does arimistane affect your libido?

 

[kenpoengineer]

does arimistane affect your libido?

Yes it does. So far no changes but curious how the next 3 weeks go.

 

[enhanced]

The initial libido spike is always fun. The drop off brings teh suck. Lol.

 

[kenpoengineer]

I'm in Anaheim CA and there is no hotel gym here. They have a "spa" otherwise known as a lazy person's gym. Dehydrated and suffering from the 3 hour time change already! So, hit a bodyweight workout.

Elimistane is contributing to my dehydration and the joints are crackling! (Day 7)
