Oohhhh Im in this MOFO!!!
 
Stats
25 years old
5 ft 11
83kg

Crossfit totals
Back squat 180kg
Front squat 160kg
Overhead Squat 105kg
Jerk 105kg
Clean 120kg
Snatch 80kg
Deadlift 240kg

As you can see, my numbers are reasonable. Nothing spectacular but none the less, I'm pretty decent strength wise.

Goals:
Strength and shred. Get back at just under 10% and put on some lean mass whilst improving endurance and strength.
Log of truth begins.
Will post up numbers.

I'm following a personally made Olympic lifting program and will do conditioning and metcon work separate to Olympic lifting.

Will get some pics or vids at least.
Add me on FB to see some vids and pics

1 pump TD EP1C post workout after shower

Subbed for honest review of TD EP1C. Lot of good reviews on other epi products, will be interesting to see if trans dermal works better.

Notes:
Muscle fullness, sweating and appetite all up. Pumps are insane.
Conqu3r and EP1C are definitely making me like t-rex after my sessions and I don't even train for a pump.

Going to do a dexa scan so will post up results to see where I am at.

Got estimated at 9.5% but that's not accurate per se but that was by my mate who competes as a body builder. Felt pretty privileged to hear him say that and he gets shredded as Fark. He reckons I could walk on stage with my arms the way they are just need a touch more drying out but anyway... Great compliments after only 4 days...
 
Excellent workouts and update man. Keep it coming. Pretty interested to discover this combination myself, Ep1c and Conqu3r that is.
 
Sore Shoulder Suck!! Great Looking Work Out!

Appetite is up
Endurance has already started getting better and pumps are coming on quicker and are more pronounced. Will get some picks up within the week for any changes.

Nice results so far. The bolded above has been reported more frequently with the transdermal vs oral so far from what I recall. This is very interesting to me.

Do the pumps seem to interfere with your training/conditioning at all? Any noticeable improvement on certain WOD activities yet?

They don't interfere per se but pumps are noticeable in WODS with push ups, burpees, pull ups and handstand push ups.

Not enough to stop me.

Just general noticeable improvements nothing too specific.

Really enjoying it

Talk about pump and jelly legs especially after 3 x 153kg squats. Loads of volume today. Had a great curry for dinner with the new girlfriend. Moved in with her. Fun times.

As you can see. Endurance has increased from the volume I'm doing. Tomorrow is metcon and strength. Today was just strength work so I don't "burn" out prior to the games coming up.

Very pleased so far.

Less Than Me !!!
 
I'm say 8-9 the vascularity is rocking man
 
Vascularity is great and that's not even when carb depleted.

I'll go low carb see how epi works with it and watch my veins go "POP".
 
Training is going well. Appetite is way up.
No real effect on libido.
 
Late to the party but definitely subbed for this. I've run epi before with good results and am interested in the new TD Ep1c. I do crossfit and oly lifting too - how does the Conqu3r DME treat you in terms of energy? I'm pretty stim tolerant but have heard really good things about the new Conqu3r

I plan on it, as I've read a ton of great reviews. I just wanted to hear from OP as to how it treats him for metcons...you know us crossfitters don't get much love so it's tough to find someone come out and publicly admit that they do it on these forums!!
