Initial thoughts on first application:

Going to start with 3 pumps daily on traps, shoulders, neck and upper arms. I have used Dermacrine in the past & the carrier in Iconogenin was exactly how I remember it in Dermacrine. I love the fact that it’s not runny. Goes on like a body lotion. Has a Fresh Clean smell. It does have a slight alcohol smell, but nothing bad or too strong. Dried in 5-6 minutes.

Yikes, a little heavier than I prefer. Gained about 7-8 lbs from Oct to Feb. Starting weight is 180. Goal for this log will be to drop about 4-6 lbs without losing any strength. Looking forward to some possible joint benefits as well.

DAY 7 : Chest & Calfs



1 WEEK REVIEW

Down 1 lb & Have noticed some nice muscle fullness throughout the day. Vascularity seems to be increasing. Will post a pic on the next arm day. (Noticed a really nice pump a couple days ago) Joints are feeling better too, yesterday was the first time in awhile that I've done Incline Bench with zero irritation. My left shoulder has some aching (nothing painful) but I felt nothing from yesterday which is great. I'm really thinking of not cutting too much (I’ll be happy with dropping 4-5lbs) - I'm liking the fullness & joint benefits and I'm thinking of concentrating more on strength. Also thinking of going to 4 pumps but I'll wait until after another week. So far - So Good!

DAY 14 : Chest / Triceps / Calfs



2 WEEK REVIEW

(Down 2 lbs) Starting to feel stronger in the gym. Really noticed it today for Chest. Also finding it difficult to wait between sets, find myself ready to go much earlier than normal. For the last 2 weeks I'm going to try 4 pumps/day. Need to watch the calories better, feel like I've been too lenient on a few days. Appetite does seem to be up over the last 7 days.

DAY 19 : Back / Traps / Biceps



NOTES: Awesome workout - Didn't want to leave the gym!
First time in a long time that I seriously wanted to just keep adding in exercises and sets.

DAY 20 : Rest



NOTES: Going back to 3 pumps tomorrow, tried 4 pumps for a week but would rather extend my run than increase the dose. Don't think I noticed any extra benefit on the added pump. But I realize it was just 1 week of 4 pumps.

How long after applying this do you have to wait before you can workout?

DAY 21 : Shoulders & Legs



3 WEEK REVIEW

Week 1 was great for Joints
Week 2 was the beginning of Strength
Week 3 is all about Endurance

Feeling great in the gym, recovery is up, can't seem to do enough sets or reps! Down 3 lbs

Going back to 3 pumps - Thinking I have around 40 pumps left & want to extend the run as long as possible.

DAY 27: Full Body



NOTES: Missed a couple workouts, work has been crazy & daughter is home from college on spring break. But I got a nice full body workout in, great pump today as well. Thinking I have enough for one more week. Final review after that.

Final Review (5 weeks)


Benefits I noticed during the 5 weeks-

Muscle Fullness - More in the beginning , and than sporadically throughout the 5 weeks.

Strength - Started to feel stronger around the 2-3 week mark. Lifts were going up while bodyweight was going down!

Endurance - Noticed a big improvement from 3 weeks on. I was adding sets, exercises, and reps!!!

Vascularity - Noticed sporadically throughout the 5 weeks.

Joints - Noticed after the first week. I usually have slight/annoying left shoulder pain during chest workouts. I have had zero pain after the first week.


Misc - Noticed a slight increase in appetite during some weeks but I attribute it to higher volume and training in the gym.


Extremely happy with the 5 weeks - This stuff just keeps getting better week after week. No doubt that I will go 8-12 weeks next time.



Will get a final weight and pic up soon.
