Derailing the Epistane Train

[rbuecker]

Alrighty I've been off PCT long enough to stop posting in that other thread.
As of this writing I'm 173.8 @ 11.4% (believe that or not, I promise I'm not accurate with the calipers) However, even though I am inaccurate the number now is less than when I measured back in December so that's good news in my book.

I'm running this for the next few months and posting up whatever here:
Whey, Casein
Fish Oil
Multi
PSlin
NeoVar Recomp
NO Shotgun

I plan to run a 3 day split at night, and whenever I can get my lazy butt up in the morning, do abs / light treadmill work. Might also throw in calves since they are one of those muscles that love to have the crap worked out of them.

I'll take some more measurements in a sec and post them up.

In for the updates buddy.

[rbuecker]

165.8 @ 17.3% caliper -> 173.8 @ 11.4% caliper
Neck: 16" -> 15" (not sure what happened here)
Upper arm bi/tri straight, not flex: 11" -> 12"
Upper arm flexed: 13" -> 13.25"
Lower arm (forearm): 10" -> 10.5"
Chest (beneath arms): 38" -> 38"
Chest (around delts): 45.5" -> 49"
Upper leg (quad / ham): 20.5" -> 22"
Lower leg (calves): 13.5" -> 14"
Waist: 33.5" -> 34"

I want to see how much changes between now and possibly running something else in a few months. If it's significant, I'll save my $ for another time and just keep it natty.

In for the updates buddy.

hey thanks for coming by!

[TimberLakers]

Lost some neck fat I see.

[rbuecker]

yeah in a few months it'll probably read 10" neck 37" waist, this could get ugly

A 10" neck would be a cause for concern.

well the roads are complete **** and that means i stayed home from work today. hope everyone else in this area is staying safe. im going to head out in about an hour which should be about the warmest part of the day, and the trucks should have assaulted .. err salted most of the roads and cleared off some more crap by then.

[manny1010]

I'm In bro.

[rbuecker]

hey manny welcome, how have you been? how's pct treating ya?

Huh? PCT? I dont know what you are talking about, but all is well! How's the training coming along bro?

[rbuecker]

power was out yesterday, roads are getting ready to start icing again today, getting pretty frustrated i do not want an off week. im starting my monday tonight i dont care how long it takes me to get home afterward. im going to use the gym that's closest to work so that i can take the time for pre workout shake / stim while i'm at work instead of tonight. should get me some more free time tonight to make meals for tomorrow (breakfast, lunch whatever).
i think i'll leave work about 4 and should be at the gym by 4:30 (maybe 4:15).

got a couple nutra orders in that should keep me from buying anything for awhile except protein/wms/multi/omega3

[manny1010]

It's in the upper 70's over here! Makes me want to go for a jog tonight. Hey man becareful out there, its pretty easy to lose control when the roads are icey. PCT is going well bro. So you ready to try the "ONE"? Looks interesting.

[rbuecker]

i was going to follow tl on a 1-andro cycle according to the AMS site (with decavol and 4ad) but this 2 bottles of love theone cycle looks pretty sweet. maybe use that pre summer instead of the 1-andro and save that for after summer. i think either one is a win, with the one being much easier on the wallet. will be interesting to compare the two.

[rbuecker]

the roads cleared up pretty well during the day, i think i'll be good to go for leaving early in the morning to hit the gym first thing. i have my boss going in early for me, so i have some room to play as well. tomorrow am should be cardio/abs, not sure how much ab work i'll do because i did some tonight. we'll see how i feel.

this is my first time at this particular gym in about a year so i'll be getting used to the numbers i can use here. focus was on form, range of motion, and if i feel like either suffered i wont be increasing the weight used.

i feel pretty awesome. im also glad i switched up gyms again, if i would have come home first like normal, i wouldnt have gone (gf stayed home sick). i'll judge tonight's success on tomorrow's pain!

[rbuecker]

new toys awaiting at home: 3x1-andro, 2x arom-x, 2x decavol. still waiting on np to get 2 more arom-x and 2x4ad

[TimberLakers]

Wow dude... talk about a shopping spree! Looks like fun!

BTW - the usual way to list your lifts would be:

SETS*REPS*WEIGHT

If just one set, you leave it off. I almost crapped looking at your weights. Thought you were doing 50 reps of 10 on pullovers.

this is pretty much how my mornings will go. it's after about 30 minutes of telling myself that my gf is not going to wake up (she works late) so there's no point in just sitting in bed unable to sleep for any respectable length of time. i also remembered last night that if i cant sleep, just toss in a movie. it's a lot easier than jumping around 1000 thoughts trying to sleep. i'll be using fight club for awhile, every time i see that movie i find a new perspective on it or find something else that i missed before.

[TimberLakers]

I'm sleeping really well lately. Sleep ON cycle for me is awful.

[rbuecker]

i think the no shotgun around 5pm is what's doing it to me, except in the morning i dont feel awake for at least 1.5 hours, usually at the end of the treadmill. maybe just getting off that damn thing is what makes my day!
