LAB RAT GETS HUGE: Anabolic Xtreme Superdrol NG(Sponsored)

[pu12en12g]

​

Intro / about me:

I've been seriously lifting for around 4 years. If you want the LONG version:
Bodybuilding.com - pu12en12g's BodySpace
Progress Photos

Short version:I was a skinny 6ft 130lbs at age 19 and I managed to bulk up to 260lbs. I ran JW and Hyperdrol (original) and loved the results, but like MANY others, I struggled to hold on to those "gains" and even ran into some "puffy nips" issues. I recently ran 6-TRIONE for 2 months and tapered off about a week ago). Most importantly, my nutrition is onpoint but my schedule is complete hell = a real struggle to gain / maintain lean mass even after tweaking other variables. As far as the big picture (LIFE) I'm in survival mode until my lifestyle gets back on track (FITNESS / NUTRITION)....time to GFH !!​

Stats:

Age: 29
Sex: M
Height: 6ft

Long Term Goal: Around 240lb to 250lb+ @ 6-8% and look and FEEL great !

Day 0
Tues, Sept 4​

I can't stress this enough, because otherwise my email will fill up. My nutrition is onpoint but my schedule is complete hell = a real struggle to gain / maintain lean mass even after tweaking other variables. No excuses, just a reality that I never imagined. With that said, here are my "BEFORE" photos (suck).

Thu, Sept 6​

Weigh-in: 240

Thoughts:

Dosage is 1 cap 4 x per day, and I will be doing 1-2-1 with the 2 pre-workout. Cardio today was insane... usually I'm soaked in sweat by the end of a session, but today I was soaked within 15-20 minutes. That was the most noticeable effect. I felt great.​

Muscle stimulation / stretching just enough for enhanced bloodflow / nutrient transport to aid recovery (bandwork is perfect IMO)

Day 2
Fri, Sept 7​

Went off-roading.... got VERY stuck... not good.

​

Cardio: Digging, pushing, pulling, and swatting misquitos

Gym: OFF

Day 3
Sat, Sept 8​

Weigh-in: 239

Thoughts:

Appetite all over the place... HOT / HYPER all day. Felt amped in the gym... great workout overall... destroyed my shoulders / lats. Lats were pumped and my shirt got stretched out (good sign), I was also DRENCHED in sweat midway through the workout.

Appetite rebounded BIG time about 2 hours post-workout (good thing for me)
​

[pu12en12g]

Day 4
Sun, Sept 9​

Weigh-in: 241

Thoughts:

Average, but solid workout... still sweating like crazy. Felt a moderate boost, but nothing insane. Some jitters when the 2 pre-workout kicked in.

Also more "full body soreness" than normal (let's hope it's a good sign, because I noticed this on JW as well)


Some questions coming in:

1) Why cardio ?

Strictly for overall conditioning / health / nutrient partitioning

2) Am I mega-dosing WRAATH or any other tricks ?

No
​

Cardio: OFF

Gym: LOWER + CORE

Day 5
Mon, Sept 10​

Weigh-in:

Thoughts:

Feeling good and nutrition is solid. As you all know it's 4 SDNG per day, and I'm feeling amped after the first 3. No jitters really when I space them out (off days only).

MASS FX and RETAIN 2 will both last me 30 days, so my plan is:

Week 1: SDNG standalone
Week 2: SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2
Week 3: SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2
Week 4: ADVANCED PCT + MASS FX + RETAIN 2
Week 5: ADVANCED PCT + MASS FX + RETAIN 2
Week 6: ADVANCED PCT
Week 7: ADVANCED PCT
​

Cardio: OFF

Gym: OFF

 

[macedaddy]

that looks like a solid stack plan! :thumbsup:

you can take 3 SDNG on off days

 

[pu12en12g]

Day 6
Tue, Sept 11​

Weigh-in: 240

Thoughts:

Still feeling good, but a little stiff (not joints). Lats still sore, usually they would be ready for another beating... interesting. All my best / fastest / leanest gains were accompanied by pretty extreme soreness. Any difference in the mirror is subtle at this point (possibly looking more dry / vascular... the difference isn't showing up in photos). Nutrition is still on target, which also means boring / repetitive. Planning to hit up 1/2 price appetizers when this log is done....

Weekly summary / scale of 1-10 coming tomorrow... I know.. yay...​

"Before" Legs
Cold... kinda thick but kinda average too

Cardio: 45min / Bike / 600 / Note: Very easy

Gym: UPPER
NOTE: Awesome MMC

 

[brass monkey]

great log so far nice job

 

[macedaddy]

looking forward to the week in review! :woohoo:

 

[sublimejeh]

Good luck PU!!! 2 caps SDNG preworkout = gold... for me at least

 

[beebab]

interested to see the results

Day 7
Wed, Sept 12​

Weigh-in: 239

Thoughts:

ROUGH day, but powered through the workout. Some mild nausea on the way to the gym. Happy so far, and ready to get rockin with Retain 2 and MASS FX​

Cardio: OFF

Gym: LOWER

Day 8
Thu, Sept 13
SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2​

Weigh-in:

Thoughts:

Looking dry (but flat) first thing in the morning. Much needed off day... sleep has been an issue, but only slightly more than usual. After week 1, I'm somewhat satisfied with my nutrition but will note adjustments as necessary.

Perm. / real gains are slow / steady = not the most interesting log unfortunately​

Cardio: OFF

Gym: OFF

Here's some good bathroom reading material:

Day 9
Fri, Sept 14
SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2​

Weigh-in:

Thoughts:

Looking SLIGHTLY leaner / dry... nothing mind-blowing but it's noticable. Cardio has been EFFORTLESS and mood is up. Appetite is down, and I'm still sweating buckets. Some very mild nausea / dizziness. Still looking "flat" (vs. "full") in the morning with no real changes to pre-bed nutrition.​

Cardio: 30min Treadmill

Gym: OFF

Day 10
Sat, Sept 15
SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2​

Weigh-in:237

Thoughts:

Down a few lbs and having problems getting quality sleep. Will start timing the 1-2-GYM-1 closer together to try and "crash" by bedtime. Appetite and libido are WAYY down. Energy / focus = good. Strength = about average so far.​

Cardio: 30min bike

Gym: UPPER

Day 11
Sun, Sept 16
SDNG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2​

Weigh-in:237

Thoughts:

More of the same... I'm definitely amped / hyper / alpha during the day. The boost I'm getting is not translating into strength gains (YET) but I'm losing fat / water no doubt.

1-2-GYM-1 timing was solid, with some moderate nausea like this...
1-2-GYM-NAUSEA-1-NAUSEA

Appetite rebounded in the middle of the night​

Cardio: NONE

Gym: LOWER

i posted on our forums too, but.....
can you adjust dosing to 1-1-2-gym? would that help you?

Hmmmm.. it may help with sleep, but I doubt it would help with nausea...

 

[macedaddy]

Hmmmm.. it may help with sleep, but I doubt it would help with nausea...

then just do 1 dose........don't do the 2 dose at all.......

 

[mountainboy]

Subbed, I'm curious how this will work out for you P12, I've been looking for something to help me cut and gain lean mass... nice posting! Good luck!

Should be great for a cut / recomp :bb3:

Stack it with Retain 2 for sure (easily one of the best new products of 2007)

Awesome thanks for teh tip, I'll do some research on retain 2

 

[matthew76]

Bro, Retain 2 is a great cort product. One of the best things about it is it does not dry you out to a point of discomfort. Try it, you'll love it!

Awesome thanks for teh tip, I'll do some research on retain 2

 

[zbtboy]

Great log thus far! How do you like the Upper/Lower split?..and have you done it before or is this the first time?

Can cardio possibly get any easier ? It's effortless as long as I have my MP3 player. Week 2 summary on the way...

Cardio: 60min treadmill / 1000

Gym: UPPER

 

[pu12en12g]

- Cardio is effortless
- Solid pre-workout boost continues
- Amped / hyper / tense all day (some might call it aggression)
- Appetite is way down
- Mild full body soreness
- Nice MMC continues
- Libido (desire) is down (yes, still very functional though... thanks )

Day 16
Fri, Sept 21
Superdrol-NG + MASS FX + RETAIN 2

Weigh-in:

Thoughts:


Libido (desire only) is still below average. No nausea.

Cardio: NONE

Gym: NONE

 

[pu12en12g]

Good question that came in:

How about your nutrition, has it changed since you've decided to recomp?

Fairly consistent...

July: 3500-4000 @ 45/35/20 @ 247lbs
Aug: 3500-3700 @ 45/35/20 @ 240lbs
Sept: 3500-4000 @ 45/35/20 @ 235lbs

So, as expected I'm losing fat and maintaining strength.... lol... not that exciting / dramatic at this overall size. If I had to pick one thing that I'm happy about, it's my overall conditioning / endurance / stamina. It has improved dramatically since last year, and continues to improve / amaze me every session (context here: a LONG history of HATING CARDIO with a passion / anti-cardio bandwagon).
