Day 1 - Thursday - July 7th

First off, I had to work 5pm-4am last night/this morning and had to meet my mom who is in town once I woke up so excuse me for the poor diet today. I get paid tomorrow and will be going to the grocery store/supplement shopping. On the list so far is Milk Thistle & Hawthorn Berry, as well as some type of liver support. I didn't do any preloading or anything.

I want to increase my protein intake a lot because I read that PH's enable you to consume 4g/lb, rather than the normal 1-2g/lb. Also, I want to change my training routine to lighter weights/higher reps so when I come off I can switch to higher weights/lower reps to help me keep my gains. Will be searching on how I want to do this, but I just kinda went with it tonight.

Goal weight is to reach 175lbs.

I ate breakfast at 7am, then went to bed.

Day 1:
- woke up 3pm
4pm - ate mcD's
8:40pm - 25mg HT, 1 scoop C4, 30g whey
9:40pm - workout: chest (16), tris (9), shoulders (9), abs (5) - finished at 11:15pm
11:40pm - 30g whey
12:30pm - two thick turkey sandwiches, and fruit
- went to sleep 1:40am

weight: 158.4lbs

From here on I will actually track my macro numbers. The (#) refers to the number of sets for each body part. For chest I worked in the 8-12 rep range, 12-20 for the others.

This is not my normal schedule obviously due to working a super long shift.

**Please give me criticism and help, I really need it.
 
Day 2 - Friday - July 8th

Day 2:
- woke up 8:30am
9:00am - 25mg HT
9:15am - 30g of whey, 1 scoop of C4
9:30am - 6 eggs scrambled
11:00am - workout: legs (12), back (9), biceps (6) - finished at 12:45pm
1:10pm - 2 scoops weight gainer, 30g whey
2:00pm - tuna and cheese melt sandwhich
7:00pm (at work) - 2 scoops weight gainer, 30g whey
9:30pm - 25mg HT
10:00pm - 2 grilled chicken, small portion of rice, 4 pieces of shrimp
12:00am- can of tuna, two yogurts, bagel

3675/269/329

Workout: Today's workout was good, I liked going higher reps today, higher reps for chest however wasn't as good.

Thoughts: I have noticed an increase in recovery time, possibly more a little more strength and focus. Appetite seems to be going up, and noticed I need to drink even more water.


Tomorrow I'm either going to do a workout on the turf or just go on a normal jog around the neighborhood.
Sunday and Monday I plan on repeating the last two work outs, which should be alright considering the increase in recovery.
 
Day 5 - Monday - July 11th

Took two days off, work. Today's workout was broken up into two parts because I decided to go back in after work.

Day 5:
woke up @ 11:00am
11:15am - 20g whey, bagel
11:25am - 25mg HT
12:30pm - 7 scrambled eggs
1:30pm - 2 slices of wheat bread, one scoop of C4
3:00pm - 30g whey detour bar
3:30pm - workout #1 (chest, tris, shoulders)
5-9pm - work, ate a homemade burrito and someones sandwhich.
10:00pm - took 25 mg HT, 1 scoop of C4
10:45pm - workout #2 (chest, tris, shoulders, abs) - finished at 11:30
12:15pm - ate rice, chicken, and steak.
4:00am - eating leftover pasta

Thoughts and concerns:
So far the intensity has been high for my workouts, Im eating a lot of food, and I believe I am already getting bigger. I haven't been able to get organized however because I am working alot, its hard just to get my workouts in.

I'm gonna keep going with the high reps and increase the weight as much as I can, I feel pretty good right now though.

As of right now my acne has not gotten "worse", keeping an eye on that. I checked my blood pressure and it was normal.

Weight: 159.8
 
Hey man I just started a similar cycle, I'm not logging it but I will sub yours.

Just a few things, you might get more interest if you add to your workouts like the lift performed the weight used and the number of reps

Ie.
Squats 325x12...etc

I know when I look at a log I like to see how the person is actually increasing in their lifts.

Also sparkpeople.com has a great food tracker you could use to get an accurate measure of what exactly you are eating. I'm actually using it now.

Colochine
 
I want people to see how everything is going down outside the gym, but I'm keeping track of my weights too.

Took some before pics so I'll be able to compare when Im finished. Got some other pics of the dishes I've made too haha, also bought NCAA 12 at midnight, not much different from last years game.

I guess if you want to use your log as a diary that's cool too.
 
Not sure if serious, I dont know how me telling you how much weight I'm lifting is going to help you help me.

As long as the weight is increasing, and theres really been nothing significant yet, then that's all that matters.

My biggest concern is safety, that's why I'm writing whatever I choose to write on here, and if something comes up I'll have people to come to and they can see what stage I am at.


Peace & Love
 
Day 6 - Tuesday - July 12th

macros: 2818/309/219 so far- just ate a bowl of tuna helper, so hopefully that'll put me over 3,000. I'll prolly stay up for another couple hours so I'll be making sure to stuff my face, and end the night with some weightgainer.

workout: legs (12), back (9) - could've been a little better but I got some work done, went in late after work so I was a bit tired.

weight: 161.2lbs


I've noticed mostly in my arms and chest that I'm getting bigger. Tomorrow's an off day or run.
 
Okay, so this would be Day 8.

No side effects, but today I didn't feel very strong. I'm starting to think I'm over training, and think I actually looked smaller today.

Workout - chest (16 sets), tris (10), shoulders (6), abs (6).

I changed my workout after reading an article about PH's. Basically, it said you should do lighter weights and higher reps while on, and then when you are in your PCT increase the weight and lower the reps because this will train the muscles to keep the size and strength gains you made while on. Is this incorrect?

8-12 reps for larger muscle groups, 15-20 reps for smaller muscle groups.

Even if that's okay it might be that I am doing a 2 day split.
Mon - chest, tris, shoulders, abs; Tues - legs, back, biceps, Wed - OFF; Thurs + Fri - ON; Sat + Sun - OFF. Is this over kill?

I'll break down today's workout:
Bench Press - 135x12, 155x12, 185x8, 205x5
Incline Press machine - 110x8, 125x8, 140x8, 155x5-125x2
Decline Bench Press - 135x12, 155x8, 165x8
Dips - x12(25lbs), x5(25lbs)-x7, x12
1-arm DB military press - 25x12, 20x12, 25x12
BB Military Press - 65x12, 85x12, 95x12 (no spotter)
DB Tricep Extension - 30x12, 35x12, 40x12
Cable Tricep Pushdowns - 80x20, 90x15, 100x8-80x6
+ abs

Is this bad or should I give it more time?

Should I stick with the high reps? I think I am atleast gonna mix up the exercises from workout to workout so they're not exactly the same.
 
Had to take today off, got let off work too late for the gym. Had a **** day but my body looks in great condition!
 
Would anyone recommend bumping up to 75mg for the remainder, or should I keep it at 50 and just let it kick in?

When I go to get my physical soon should I also ask for a blood test. I've got insurance, or should I do it somewhere else for like $40?
I just wanna see how my levels are doing and then report back here.

I've been watching my blood pressure, and its actually a bit higher than normally.

Gonna get a killer leg workout in tomorrow!
 
UPDATE:

please read..

Strength + weight is going up, no side effects, libido good, blood pressure is higher than normal but okay.

Friday was an off day, and then Saturday and Sunday I couldn't get into the gym due to work and early close gym hours.
Monday I took two scoops of C4 (which has beta alanine and creatine) rather than the usually one. I got through 4 sets of squat, and then during leg press got a huge headache. I couldn't continue and had to lay down for awhile. The headache carried over to today, I tried to drink alot of water, and went in today. I didn't take any C4, got through bench press and started incline when I had to stop. I'd say these are migraines.

This really sucks because that's basically 5 days off in a row! Probably looking at even more until they go away completely, I dont want to waste my time (and gas) going to the gym if I have to leave after two exercises. Also, the ****ty part is I just bumped up to 75mg. 50mg in the AM, 25mg in the PM. I'm pretty sure the headaches were from taking too much of the C4, so I've decided I'm done with that until PCT.

For PCT I am planning on using Cellucor's P6 red. As well as some extra support supplements, I'll be buying this Friday. If anyone thinks this is a bad idea let me know, I can buy the TRS by Primordial Performance.

Here are P6's ingredients..it is a natural test booster as well as SERM. Im pretty sure I'd be fine with this considering HT is a weaker compound.

[table="header"]INGREDIENT
Ovine Placenta Powder
Tribulus Alatus Extract
β-Sitosterol
Black Cohosh Extract
Agaricus Bisporus extract
Stinging Nettle Root extract
Diosgenin
Myrcetin
Sclareolide[/table]

Yesterday I hit squat 295x4 which is a pretty good PR, and today bench press 225x5 which is really good considering I could've got one more.

PCT - C4, NO3 Chrome, P6
