Before i start, just wanted to say thanks brundel for this opportunity. Todayreceived the new epi product from black lion research in the mail. The container is has no label so I don't know what's in it. All I know is it has more epi than before and epi support ingredients. I have never taken an epi product so this should be fun.
Stats
Age- 20
Time training- 4-5 years
Weight- 161
Height- 5'9 1/2"
Bodyfat%- around 8 or 9
Recovering from a minor slipped disk and have had shoulder surgery on labrum so won't be lifting heavy on deadlifts, squats, barbell bench, or shoulder pressing.
Deadlift- could do 435 before injury
Squat- could do 350 before injury
Bench- could do 300 before injury (will be replacing with dumbbell presses)
Will also be taking whey, creatine, maybe some bcaa's, pre workout, a multivitamin (orange triad), and fish oil. Oh and I have been taking all of these things for about 3 years so any change isn't because of these things.
Will be staring with a standard body part split for a few weeks and then doing a push/pull/legs
Will post pictures and maybe make some video updates on youtube.
Again thanks brundel!

Going to the gym pretty soon. Going to hit shoulders. My stomach is off today because of my cheat meal last night. Going to try to hit shoulders without hurting myself

So did shoulders only for the first time in like a year. I had to quit mid workout because of the diarrhea that snuck up on my half way through because of the cheat meal of del taco. My shoulders actually felt pretty good. Still didn't go heavy though.
-Did dumbell side raises with 20s. 3x12 (sets x reps)
-Did front raises with 25's 3x 12,12,10
-Then did dumbbell shoulder presses with 50x12, 60x12, 65x 12 and 70x12.
The weight felt very light and easy but started to feel pain with the 70s so I stopped there.
Like I said I had the ****s so had to stop there. Tomorrow's another day and I'm still glad I was able to do shoulder presses with almost no pain.

-didn't feel anything from the black lion product. Well... its the first day.

A little more info... getting between 4500-6000 calories a day. Macros about 40carbs/30/30. I do a 10 min warmup and cool down for each lifting session. Other than this, no cardio will be done. Hopefully this isn't something that will mess up my stomach because I have bad ibs. I get diarrhea like 5 times a week

Today (well now yesterday because it's passed midnight here) i did arms and calves. The workout wasn't too significant so I wont talk about it too much. One thing I noticed was an awesome pump. But this could have been due to the fact that that I had lots of carbs today. so I won't jump to the conclusion of the product causing this yet. I took one cap right when I woke up with my breakfast at 8am. I didn't wakeup in time to hit the gym in the morn but I went after work at 7pm and took 2 caps about 30 mins before with my pre workout. But anyways back to the pump... I felt such a great pump and I looked pretty vascular. Barely could pinch the skin on my arms and couldn't touch my shoulders. Other than my late workout and the pumps, it was a pretty normal day. My macros were pretty good on the most part also.

Today will probably be an off day unless I want to do some core. Did take one cap this morn. Will take two more either around 8pm or before my workout if I do one.

So haven't gave an update and a few days but I feel like this product is now showing in a little bit of strength gains also. Not pushing more weight yet but and putting up more reps with weight on chest and back days. Was able to press the 100s a few more reps. Also, I don't know if my back is just healing on its own because I've been good with being easy on my back, but I feel like my back has been feeling alot better just in the past week. I'm not saying it's this epi product I'm taking.. but I wonder if it's contributing? Overall I'm feeling great.

Good stuff bro. Epi usually gives increased reps and endurance first.
The other ingredients will also contribute. Its capacity is much greater than regular epicatechin.

Workouts have still been great. Doing light squats again. Hopefully can Deadlift again soon. Never really feel chest pumps but today I had a huge chest pump. Also had a wicked calf pump yesterday. I'm starting to get vascular on my shoulders and back again. I'll post pictures of current sitting. I'm white as hell so you can see definition as much as you could if I was tan at the moment.

My skin while working out today looked very red or pink. Idk why. Maybe it was because I was feeling very warm while lifting. But... the lifting session was my favorite so far since the day I started taking the epicatechin. I did arms, abs and calves. My arms had a rediculous pump that felt like my skin was stretching to the limits! I was nice and vascular, felt huge and was very confident feeling. Is it possible to have a pump so big that you get stretch marks? Because that's what it looks like on my biceps and shoulders.

The pump effects from this stuff is pronounced for sure. I love the point in a cycle when people start to comment.
