Second day of erase (2 caps)

Not much to say, I think i won't see a lot of difference during these first days.
But I'm feeling good, did a great workout, my strength is still going up, so I'm excited to know how high it will go when erase will start to kick in :)

military press : 135 * 7
INCLINE bench press : 215 * 5
dips : 3 * 8 * bw + 80
 
The first thing you may notice is some leaning out from lower levels of water retention. For a lot of people this is in the first week.
 
Third day of erase (2 caps)

Light legs day:

Bad session, no good feelings during stiff legged deadlift so I won't do it next time.

Feelings : I felt good, not that much rested, but enough energy to train legs.
Mood : I was pretty happy to hit the gym (as usual) but a huge crash at the end on my workout.
Strength/Endurance : it was a light session but i easily hit my 3*12 @ 195 and 2*12 @ 205 for deadlift, so next time, i'll try maybe 3*12 @ 225 and 2*12 @ 195

I've uploaded photos as well, check the first post of this thread.
 
Day 4 (2 caps) rest day

Nothing to say, i was tired, But I'll be ready to train my chest and back tomorrow for sure.
My lower back and hamstring hurt thanks to my deadlift from yesterday :)
 
Sub'd for this. Will be starting a stack with erase in the next month or so and am similar size to you height wise. Trying to get as big as you lol.

+rep
 
Day 5

Awesome workout, felt great, good energy, broke some PR but not a huge increase in strength
I'm not leaner either, we'll see during the next days how it's going.

Main lift to notice:
bench press : 3*260 PR
Hammer strength press. 8*70(each side); 8*80: 8*90; 6*100 + progressive deload.
incline bench press: 5*12*135 (it seamed sooo heavy)
dips: 24+5+5 using rest pause, total 34 reps (PR)
pull ups : 6*bw+57 (30kg)
 
Day 6

Not a good leg workout, at least for squat
last set of squat : 280 * 4
last set of front squat : 215 * 5
deadlift : 190-200-225-235-245 (each set for 12 reps)

+ some biceps


I felt great but disappointed by my squat, will do better next week.
I slept pretty good, but from now I have to wake up at 7am. I don't think falling asleep at 1 am or 2 and waking up at 10 is the best way to recover.

Day 7 (2 caps)

It was my rest day. I slept well, I'm feeling rested and I think I got leaner as well.
But my knees seem to hurt a bit, so I'll see later how it's going.

Tomorrow will be my shoulders and triceps workout, and I'll be using formula-x.
I'm expecting nothing but an awesome training !
 
Day 8 (2 caps)

I felt good, but d*mn, it's so cold right now ! and the heater isn't working which means no hot water either !

Tomorrow is my second legs training with heavy deadlift and light squat leg extension, good morning and some abs.
 
Day 9 (2 caps)

Felt a bit tired this morning, but had a good workout, strength was there, as well as focus and mood. So it's all good :)

bigdavid said:
good job man..thoughts on erase so far? notice any diuretic effects? sore joints? anything?
Click to expand...

Since I've been taking 3 caps ( 2 in the morning, 1 in the evening) I need to drink more.
My right knee hurts a bit, but slightly. It bother me only for my warm up sets on squat but nothing else, once well warmed up, I don't feel the pain.
I have no other joints pain which is a good thing.

I think I got leaner, that's the only positive side for now.

I'll keep you update at the end of the bottle.

Always need to drink a lot while taking 2 caps in the morning.
I've got a bit of acne. I wasn't sure if it was because of erase but I didn't change my food.
 
Congratulations on the deadlift PB!

Some people will notice more skin breakouts on Erase, it is quite common.

I started Erase about 4 days ago and notice that I look drier and I have lost about 3 lbs...is this normal? I have read of some people losing weight in a few days just from erase.

Yes apparently it's normal to look drier and then to loose weight.
I cant tell you if I've lost weight because I haven't any scale, I need to use the one of a friend of mine, but I'm a bit drier.

More to come tomorrow, any question ? I'll be glad to answer

Click to expand...

Nothing dude, it's like if I was taking nothing, except my joints are cracking more than before.

amend09 said:
So I can just use erase?
Click to expand...

For sure you can. Do a cycle with Erase to know the effects it will give you and then you can stack it for better results.
 
Day 21

3 caps, always 2 in the morning, feeling good, not that much tired. No pain joint, but cracking like I said before.

killed those deadlifts and front squats!

how's the Erase treatin ya?
Click to expand...

Yes, but I'm waiting for my last week of the cycle. I've got a max rep to do @ 320 :)
It doesn't seem that Erase is doing a lot to me, my strength hasn't been increasing more than it should have during the 5/3/1.

Day 23

I don't think if I should write my training because that wasn't a good one.
I should have taken this day off.

Day 25

Good strength, no joint pain, no acne (if think last time was because of DAA)

Best legs training ever.
I killed it.

Squat

250 * 3
270 * 3
290 * 5 - 3 - 3​


Front squat

200 * 3
210 * 3
225 * 4 - 3 - 3 - 3

​

+ 5 sets of good morning s/s leg curl
+ 3 sets barbell curl s/s and hanging leg raises

tomorrow ? off / on ? will see tomorrow morning if I'm feeling good after this workout, I think I will pay the price :p
 
longhornsp said:
strong squats yesterday


did you get the newest 5/3/1 book for powerlifting? just wondering what the 3-3 after 5 is for ? I notice you do that for a couple of sets on the diff exercises
Click to expand...

No I don't get it, it's almost the same, with some bodybuilding template for assistance exercises, some nutrition tips, stuff like that.

for the 3 - 3,
I should have written 2 * 290 *3, it's just other sets with the minimum of repetition asked for the week. I do that because it looks like I'm near of a plateau, so adding 2 or 3 sets at the highest weight could help me to avoid it. Know what i mean ?

Day 26

Felt a bit tired, took a nap, and there you go
Definitely good strength. Acne since I've been taking DAA.
It was just awesome, craze + formula-x for preworkout, you want some PR ?? enjoy !


military press:
1 * 130 * 3
1 * 135 * 3
3 * 145 * 3 (not a PR, last time 4 + 1 (rest pause), I couldn't have press it 3 times for 3 sets)


incline bench press:
195 * 5
205 * 5
225 * 3

dips
1 * bw + 80 * 8
1 * bw + 90 * 8
1 * bw + 100 * 5
2 * bw + 110 * 4 PR !!!! last time was 3 reps alone + 2, today was 4 alone​


military
2 * 90 * 15


close grip smith machine bench press:
1 * 180 * 8
2 * 200 * 6

Alright, here is my workout, good workout, good strength, felt great.

​

Tomorrow will be my rest day, have got 8 caps left in my bottle :( I wish I had a second one, effects were really appearing this week.

Last week will be my last week of the 5/3/1 cycle, I've got my last 1+ rep set @ 275 for bench press, I hope I'll get it.

Talk to you next time.
 
Alright, I haven't been posting on the forum for almost a week, so here are my last (principals) numbers for the last workout.
My bottle is empty, today will be my second workout without erase. We'll see how it goes.

Bench press : 275 * 1 (PR)
squat : 315 * 1 (PR)
front squat : 235 * 3 (PR)
pull ups : bw + 90 * 3 (PR)

Military press : 155 * ?? (today, 1 rep would be a PR anyway)
Deadlift : 320 * ?? (on Monday, but will be defz a PR again)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick final review

I definitively got dryer during these 3 weeks of erase.
My macros were almost always the same (420g / 225p / 50f)
I had no joints pain but I had to drink much more while taking 3 caps in the morning.

For what's concerning strength, I had more results at the end of the bottle, which is too bad because I've got only one. So I would recommend to do a 2 bottles cycle at, at least, 3 caps a day.

So that's it, I think I talked about the most important.

If you've got any question for this final review, do not hesitate, I'll answer.
