HARDCORE DIESEL PCT - a Log by Kabuki

[Chuck Diesel]

I saw a big change in the boys returning to size the first couple days on DTHC, but not so much now. Adding the DTHC definitely counteracted the downward slide my BW typically takes after a PH cycle as shown below.

You even got post cycle therapy bodyweight charts, thats serious.

Anyway, how close to pre-cycle would you say the "boys" are now in terms of size. Also is your libido coming back (or did it not decrease during ur cycle)?

edit, also best time for DTH dosage is am, mid-day (before lunch) an pm, but early pm, like between 3 and 5pm. I dose mine at 8am/12pm/5pm.

I chart everything year round.

The "boys" are nearly returned now just not much progress last couple days, and they had nearly disapeared the last week on cycle. Libido was down on cycle, it picked up about 2 days into DTHC but hasn't climbed much the last few days. I would say close to precycle...but just not quite there yet as well. So all in all I would say i'm progressing pretty well considering it was a long suppressive cycle and i'm coming back quickly...its just you could always be happier with even quicker progress.

I may up dose to 6 caps/day if come next week and see what that does.

thanks for info on dosing. I was doing 6am, 2:30pm (trying to get close to my 4:30pm training), and 9pm.

I'll try 6am, 11am, 4:30pm today and see how that works.

EDIT: i have started getting morning wood again. a very positive development. i will have more to report after this weekend.

As per the request here are some pics. I’ll update with new pics again at end of log.

Don’t know much about posing, lighting, and tanning as you can tell
I go for the typical “Powerlifter Beached White Whale look”

These kind but about double the size and brown:

Day 12 - DTHC x 6

off
BW upon waking 243.8


Notes: still tired and didn't sleep well last night. think it was mostly due to heat. Headache at the end of the day...again probably heat and not enough hydration. Other than that nothing new at this time

[neoborn]

I would make sure you are upping your water with this stuff, just something I noticed.

Day 15 & 16 - DTH @ 6 pills

I had not seen much in the way of 'volume' changes thus far untill the last three days as i tapered the last couple days of Serm usage to nothing. Definetly some increased 'volume' now.

Large, Low, and Full!

no training. working in super hot attic doing remodel for wifey. nice n dehydrating, but was able keep fluid intake up to match.

Day 17 - DTH @ 6 pills

Awesome workout tonight. Hit a couple all-time PR’s.

BW upon waking 243.8

First up was incline bench, which is one of my worst pressing exercises (relatively speaking), and I wasn’t expecting much anyway as I did heavy dumbbell Military’s Thursday night (125x8). So needless to say I was quite pleased with an all-time PR.

Next up was benching with my shirt and this would be my first night doing a full bench in it in 1.5 years (last month I have been doing some 2&3 board presses in it getting used to feel of it again). My previous best was 605 after doing regular shirt work, so again quite pleased with the all time pr. The bench is a real slow decent which is not the norm for me but I wanted to be safe as it’s been a long time. Normally I drop it much quicker and get a bigger isometric reaction and a faster press than tonight, so both descent and press were both real slow.

Incline Bench
50x12
140x6
210x3
230x3
320x3
360x3 [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsy4VoT8_20"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia]

Bench (with shirt)
520x1 off 3board
590x1 off 2board
620x1 off 1board [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ZXwHVY36I"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia]

Supra Press downs
100x12
125x12x12x12x12

And GFK thanks for the bench shirt vid…that helped greatly when working with guys that have never seen a shirt before and need to put on one you.

Quite Pleased! Esp after eating like crap and working in a hot attic sweating my ass off the whole weekend, doing remodel for the wife, (and yes Ubi I kept from falling through the ceiling again this weekend)

[thebigt]
