This is and will be my nutrtition for the rest of my cut and for the 3-AD. The cycle should last me around 25.3 The 3-AD will start on June 16th and end sometime in the week of July ending on the 13th. I will be dosing six 3-AD per day for the entire time. I have decided not to stack the 6-OXO with this because of financial strain and it will be interesting to see what 3-AD can do on a cut with Ephedra. If you didn't see my first post currently I have been cutting with the EAC or ECA stack for 60 days and when I start the 3-AD it will be the 64th day of cutting.

Supplements- Two 25mg ephedra capsules per day. This time I am taking Ephburn which is similar to Yellow Bullet. Six 3-AD per day. Orange Triad (multi-vitamin), 150mg of aspirin with each ephedra. Pre-workout I will be taking two scoops of NaNo Vapor. Almost every night before bed I will be taking 6mg of Melatonin so I get restful sleep. On high carb days I will be taking Gluceroll which is a blood sugar stabilizer so I can absorb the carbs but not experience such a spike. After my cycle my PCT will be aPCT from AX.

I plan on having 6-8 meals per day including shakes.

Carbs-Only pre and post-workout 6 days a week. 30-40 grams of carbs coming from brown rice pre-workout and 60-80 grams of fast digesting carbs coming from a shake immediately post-workout. Every Sunday I will have a high carb day that I will take in an extra 300-400 grams of complex carbs throughout the day.

Fats-With the exception of the pre and post-workout meals I will be adding around 15 grams of fat with every meal. The fat sources will be as follows: Almonds (whole, natural, unsalted), Fish Oil, Natural Peanut Butter, and fat from meat.

Protein- Shooting for around 50 grams of protein per meal. 2-3 meals will be in the form of a protein shake. Other protein sources will be, chicken, turkey, buffalo, beef, eggs and egg beaters.

Veggies- As many cruciferous veggies as possible. Lots of broccoli and cauliflower. Other vegetables are okay but it will mostly be broccoli and cauliflower.

Drinks- Minimum of 1.5 gallons of water per day. Hopefully more that that. Diet Green Tea, and the occasional diet soda will be acceptable. Sugar Free energy drinks will be added occasionally on a needs basis.

Cheat Days- I don't plan on having any cheat days during this cycle. Just the once a week high carb day. Only quality, nutrient dense foods every day for the whole cycle.

If anyone wants an example of a day's worth of meals I will provide. All I have right now is the gym, summer school, and work so I have a little bit of free time since summer school is not a full class-load. Can't wait for monday............:woohoo:

Training Split will be as follows:

Monday-Legs
Tuesday-Chest and Tri's or Back
Wednesday Back or Chest and Tri's
Thursday-Shoulders and Calves
Friday-Biceps/Triceps
Saturday-Chest/Traps/Calves
Sunday-Rest

At least 5 of those days will have some form of cardio in them. I usually either do the stairmill for 25 minutes on a HIIT pace or I will jump rope for a minute between each set.

I will get some pictures taken tomorrow and post them along with my first workout.

if you are going to be on ephedra that long some reset ad might be a good idea. at least take some benedryl at nighttime. probably not going to harm you if you don't but it will help keep the receptors from getting blunted, imo. just my 2 cents. otherwise, good luck.

I might just have to stick with the benadryl for a little bit until I can muster up a little more expendable income for the reset-ad. I will definitely pick some up as soon as I am able to. Fall tuition is coming up so once I have enough $$ for that then I will pick up a bottle of reset. Thanks for that input I totally neglected that aspect.

i am not sure how it works, just that it does. a guy on here told me a long time ago about taking benedryl while taking ephedra long term. it's something a lot of us do, and not only does it help with sleep at night, but it helps with tolerance. with benedryl i still feel the ephedra long term, without it i have to keep taking more and more. i now prefer reset, but benedryl works.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I was weighed at the doc's office on friday and I haven't weighed myself since I started cutting. I was around 230 when I started cutting...right now I am 210. Kinda disappointing but I think most of it was bad weight so that is good. Would like to eventually be a rock solid 225. We will see how much I gain from the 3-AD. I took my first dose tonight. I couldn't wait and I thought it couldn't hurt to have a lil in my system before I "officially" start in the morning.

Day 1- Legs and Abs

Supplements Taken

Took my first dose of 3-AD one hour prior to working out along with two scoops of NaNo Vapor and a tablespoon of fish oil. Immediately before working out I took one ephedra and one aspirin. When I woke up I took some Orange Triad. Will take my second dose of 3-AD shortly. Nutrition has been on par today with my original plan.



Started taking the 3-AD today. Here is my leg workout I just got done doing.

Leg Press 540/12 630/10 720/8 810/6
-Superset-
Hammy extension X/15 X/15 X/15 X/15

Smith Machine Hammy Xplode 8/12 8/12 10/10 10/10

190/25 210/16 270/8 330/4

350/8 290/12 210/16 190/25

ABS
Incline Ball Toss 6/25 6/25 6/25 4/25

Cybex Side Oblique Crunch 90/20 100/18 110/16 120/14

Explanation of some exercises

Hammy Extension is done on the seated calf raise machine. You sit so your knees are where your butt would normally be and your feet are where your knees would normally be and you are facing outward from the machine. Load the weight so it doesn't move at all and extend with your body weight out until you feel a good stretch on the hamstrings and then pull back in with your hamstrings.

Smith Maching Hammy Xplode- Put the smith machine bar on the lowest possible notch and load it with enough weight so it won't move. Face away from the machine and tuck your feet underneath the padded bar facing out. With dumbbells in your hand lower down until the weights hit the floor then explode back up and pull hard with your hamstrings.

Hack Squat Plate Pull- No rest and each rep is a total of a 6 count. 3 on the down, 3 on the up and after 3, six second reps a partner takes one weight off one side then after 3 more six second reps they take weight off the other side and so on and so forth until you are at 0. On 0 I do ten fast and all the way down reps.


Mental Notes. (Stolen from Tex...thanks)

Aggression: No more than normal, just a good lift. The 3-AD definitely hasn't kicked in yet because I am not stronger than I usually am.

Focus: Good solid workout, no distrations. In and out in like an hour and a half.

Stamina: Had great stamina today but not out of the ordinary.

Strength: Didn't notice any increase in strength today. Went just a little lighter on leg press due to the super sets but all in all a normal strength day.

Recovery: Since I am on a cut I allow little recovery time. Generally a minute rest, sometimes a bit longer.

I am gonna take some pictures as soon as my roommate gets back and I will post them.

I'm trying to drop my bf % really low for a few months to get rid of some estrogen that builds up in my lower stomach and the end of my pecs. One of my bosses who is a pro bodybuilder told me that the best way to go about that is to get the bf % low and keep it low for a month or two so it pushes the estrogen out. Plus I just want to be super lean and then I will lean bulk.

Day 2- Chest and Triceps

Supplements
I took all of my supplements as planned today. No missed timing or anything.

Took my 3-AD with fish oil an hour before working out along with the NaNo Vapor. Then immediately pre-workout I took my ephedra and aspirin. When I woke up this morning I took the Orange Triad.

Today I did chest and triceps and my chest felt a bit weak but I think it's because I never do barbell bench and today I did. I was really weak on it...felt like a wimp.

Wide Grip Barbell Press 135/16 185/12 225/8 255/4
One minute after the last set was over I grabbed some 90 lb dumbbells and did 8 quick reps.

Notch 1,2,3 60/8 50/8 45/8

180/15 180/15 180/14 180/14

Incline Hammer Strength
90/15 110/12 130/10 90/20
Did all of the incline sets really fast with little rest, less than a minute for sure.

Close Grip Smith Bench 50/22 100/10 70/18 80/14

Seated Dips 180/15 200/15 230/12 270/10

Rope Press Down 120/15 140/15 150/12 160/10
-superset-
1-arm cable tricep reverse curl 40/10 30/15 30/15 30/15

Nautilus Weighted Abs 95/36 110/30 125/26

Cardio Stairmill on level 12, fat burner setting for 23 minutes. Estimated 390 cals burned although I know it's not accurate. Just adding that info.

Explanations of Exercises

Click Flye- A superset that changes the angle of the fly every time you change the weight. If you start the bench on the 3rd notch for incline then after you finish those reps you "click" down a notch immediately and do another set. After that set is completed you "click" down one more notch to flat and immediately finish your set. I try for anywhere from 8-12 reps per "click" Then obviously when you start flat you "click" up and finish on the 3rd notch.

1-Arm Cable Tricep Curl- Stand as if you were doing a single high arm cable curl and flip your body 180 degrees so you are close to the weight stack. Now press out in a reverse cable curl motion to hit the triceps.


Mental Notes

Aggression: I felt a little less aggressive today. It could have been from training all morning at the smoothie shop from 8am-2pm and I couldn't get to sleep last night because I am on the bartender schedule.

Focus: I felt focused for most of the workout, had very little distrations. I felt like the pace could have been faster but my workout partner said it was really fast today.

Stamina: Stamina for chest was a little off. Could have been due to my first day of attempting barbell bench in like two years. I usually just stick with dumbbells.

Strength: Haven't noticed any increase in strength yet but it's only day two. I am assuming 3-4 days is when you start to notice a difference.

Recovery: Recovery felt good but rest periods were short so I never fully recovered.

Day 3-Back

Supplements
I took all of my supplements as planned today. No missed timing or anything.

Took my 3-AD with fish oil an hour before working out along with the NaNo Vapor. Then immediately pre-workout I took my ephedra and aspirin. When I woke up this morning I took the Orange Triad.

I was rushed today to do back because of school and then work. I completed this workout in about an hour and 10 minutes.

Mental Notes

Really frustrated I didn't get cardio in. I realized that one of my summer classes started yesterday so I had to attend 5 hours of class today instead of 2.5. Which put me behind on everything for the day.

Aggression:Blasted through my workout with no interruption.

Focus: I felt very focused during this whole workout and nothing bothered me or slowed me down.

Stamina:Stamina was good, I felt like I was pretty strong on each lift.

StrengthStrong as usually am, no difference.

RecoveryRecovered nicely between sets. Rest periods were short so full recovery was never attained during the workout.

Explanation of Some Exercises

Incline V Press: On an incline basically do a chest press but try to move the weight with your front delt. I have found that a steeper incline and pushing the weight out to below the nipples hits the front delt the best.

Vertical Dumbbell Cross Front Raise:Instead of doing a regular dumbbell front raise. Rotate the dumbbells 90 degrees so they are vertical at the top of the motion. Begin with the dummbell at the side of your hip and really focus on raising the weight with your front delt. As you are raising the weight move the weight so at the top of your ROM you are above the opposite shoulder. So if you are raising your right arm you want the weight to end up above your left shoulder. (Does this make sense?)

Nipple Press: Lying with the weights at each side and elbows super tightly tucked to your sides press the weight up using your front delt. This helps get the seperation between your front delt and upper chest. I have noticed a big difference since starting to incorporate this lift.

Cutler Style Calf Raise:Simplest explanation of the day. (Happy?) 1 rep equals halfway down, all the way up, all the way down and back up to the top.


Mental Notes

Strength:Very happy with my strength since I had so little rest between sets and everything was at least a superset or giant-set.

Aggression:I felt like an animal in the gym today. Caught more than one person doing the whole :jaw: thing today. Days like today are such a confidence booster.

Focus: Focus was on today, no interruptions of any kind.

Stamina: I had great energy and stamina through each lift. Even though I felt a great burn I was able to push beyond the burn.

Recovery: Recovery times were very minimal today but I felt like I was recovering quickly.

3-AD Has kicked in for sure. More than one person said I am starting to look really hard and dense. And I was happy with those comments since that is the look I am going for. Once again I didn't do any cardio today but my workout was very intense so it's okay.

Day 5- Biceps/Triceps

Took my 3-AD with fish oil an hour before working out along with the NaNo Vapor. Then immediately pre-workout I took my ephedra and aspirin. When I woke up this morning I took the Orange Triad.

Today I felt like a crazy animal while I was lifting and now that I just got home and am not lifting I feel exhausted. Must have spent myself in the gym which is always a good thing. A PT at LA Fitness came up to me today and told me that I was getting noticeably bigger.

Mental Notes

I was exhausted after working out so I didn't do cardio today either. I was literally starving after I got done working out so I needed a shake IMMEDIATELY!

Aggression: Not gonna lie, small stuff is starting to irritate me that usually doesn't irritate me. So I am definitely producing extra testosterone. Felt crazy in the gym once again today. The gym is always where I get my aggression out so I am usually pretty intense.

Focus: I was very focused. I don't let anything bother me in the gym at all anymore. I leave it all at the door and enjoy my "sanctuary" time.

Stamina: Had great stamina during my lifts today but after I got done doing abs I was spent. Could have been because I was working outside in the Florida heat for 3 hours today.

Strength: Feeling a little bit stronger and it is probably from the 3-AD starting to pulse through my body. Veins are starting to pop from unknown places....lol

Recovery: Recovered fast in between sets with my one minute rest. But after my workout I have been slow to recover. It's been almost two hours and I still feel like crap.

Day 6- Chest and Traps

I'm posting this for yesterday (Saturday June 21, 2008) Because when I got home the fights were starting and I didn't want to miss any of them.

Supplements
I took all of my supplements as planned today. No missed timing or anything.

Took my 3-AD with fish oil an hour before working out along with the NaNo Vapor. Then immediately pre-workout I took my ephedra and aspirin. When I woke up this morning I took the Orange Triad.

I worked out after working from 9-5 and only getting like 4 hours of sleep. I don't function well unless I get at least 7 hours of sleep. Today's workout definitely suffered and I didn't feel good the whole time working out but I just pushed trhough.

Decline Dumbbell Flye (Elbows bent so it's like a half press/half flye) 75/10 80/8 85/6 90/5

Incline Smith Bench 90/15 140/8 90/15 110/8-Drop to 90/8

Decline Hammer 180/15 180/15 180/15 180/15
-Superset-
Wide Hammer 180/10 90/15 90/20 90/20

Decline Hammer 90/15 Explode up with a 5 second negative.

Pec Dec Flye 165/15 210/12 255/8 310/6

Reverse Incline Dumbbell Shrug 70/20 75/16 80/15 85/14

Dumbbell Shrug 90/20 100/18 110/16 125/12
-Superset-
Seated Shrug 180/15 180/15 180/15 180/15


Mental Notes

Aggression: Not there today, couldn't get into it just had to force my way through it.

Focus: Everything was off today, I couldn't focus on anything although I wasn't distracted today either.

Stamina: I was tired so my stamina was low and so was my motivation.

Strength: For as tired as I was I was happy that I moved the weight I did. I also had a nice pump in my chest when I was done.

Recovery: I took my time during this workout so my recovery periods were a bit longer. They are always a bit longer on saturdays.

Today is my off day. I haven't done anything and I am just catching up on some homework for summer school. My body is sore and tired. This week has been hell on me for some reason and I have been feeling really lethargic the last 2-3 days. Could this be a side-effect of the 3-AD? Any suggestions?

Lethargy is a common side effect. Have you had any weight gain?

good log jerxxcoo!
several of the 3ad beta users, including myself, experienced some slight lethargy. i felt it only the first week though.
those symptoms are also very in line with running a calorie deficit cut diet.

as for the lethargy, it sounds like the ephedra is losing effectiveness. have you been taking the benedryl? either benedryl or reset ad should take care of it.

yeah I have been taking benadryl every night for the past 4 days or so. Today I felt good during my leg workout which I will post in a little bit. I will talk about my one week weigh in on that post too so keep watchin.... I have also decided to cut my cardio way down since after I lift I feel so spent that I think it would be counter-productive to the 3-AD to do really intense cardio everyday. I lift so hard and fast that it's pretty much like cardio anyways.

Day 8- Legs

Supplements
I took all of my supplements as planned today. No missed timing or anything.

Took my 3-AD with fish oil an hour before working out along with the NaNo Vapor. Then immediately pre-workout I took my ephedra and aspirin. When I woke up this morning I took the Orange Triad.

Today was a good leg workout. I worked out by myself and I felt pretty strong throughout the workout.

When I was weighed at the doctors nine days ago I was 210. That was in the morning before working out. I weighed myself after I worked out today and I lost a lot of water while working out and I weighed 215. So I am very pleased that I have gained a little bit of weight back and it's definitely good weight.

Mental Notes

Aggression: Felt aggressive in the gym today. But surprisingly calm prior to the gym.

Focus: Good focus today, no distractions as usual. I try to be friendly to everyone but they all know when I am in the gym I am in there for business and not social hour.

Stamina: I had good stamina today. If I had a spotter I might have tried to max out on squat because it has been years since going heavy on squats.

Strength: Squats were feeling great today. On my last set of four on the fourth rep I stopped a bit at the bottom then just had an awesome push through my heels to get the weight up. It felt great.

Recovery: Recovery times were a little longer today, especially on squats. But I was only in the gym for about an hour and a half so the pace was good.

hey, it might be good to force yourself to take a day off completely every now and then. i know it is hard to do when you are young and motivated, but take a day off and you will be renewed in the gym.

I think one day is enough for me to take off. Any more than that and I will go crazy for sure. The gym is my release therapy, I am eating enough and getting enough sleep so I think I will be fine. Seriously though if I took any more time off the gym it would drive me crazy.

it drives everyone crazy for a while, but its a healthy habit. any serious lifter will tell you work hard but make sure you take off every so often. Otherwise you are just constantly breaking down your fibers never giving them the chance of reconstruction, whether you sleep or not. Because during sleep is when you become the most catabolistic which breaking down of the muscle. So you going to need more than just sleep to replenish your growth. its an adjustment for sure, but in my book well worth it.

I agree. Man I hated days off too but now Ive realized that on those days off Im getting stronger just resting those muscles. Its like sleep. You need good sleep to have good workouts. Rest days are like your muscles taking a nap for a day. Totally worth it man. JMO tho.

I think that taking Sundays off is sufficient for me for now. Maybe in the future I will take another day off if I am in a mass gaining phase or something. All the bodybuilders that do shows that I talk to say it's no big deal to train six days a week as long as you are suppplementing and getting enough rest. As long as the muscle group you work gets 72 hours of rest between heavy work. We shall see.....

Mental Notes

Aggression: I felt good today, my chest had a great pump because of the way I did the supersets.

Focus: As always, very focused today, no distractions.

Stamina: Good stamina, was able to push through the burn a few times.

Strength: I felt pretty weak on chest for the incline but all in all everything else felt strong.

Recovery: Hardly any recovery time between sets.

This workout was done in about an hour and ten minutes so it was very fast paced.
