Day 13 active rest

Fasted AM Cardio
27 Min Run

PM Cardio and Abs

45 mins on elliptical
Level 12 speed 5-6

Roman chair leg lifts
10 sets of 20


Took three caps on empty stomach split through the day. Was worn out from the past few days but once i hit the gym i was ready to kill it again lol. Yesterday was an active rest day which for me equals no weights. So I took it easy and just hit some cardio and abs. Tonight i am going to hit back heavy, high intensity.

Also cardio is becoming so second nature and almost not even a thought when doing it. My endurance is much more profound. The only reason I am not using that endurance towards the cardio is because my ultimate goal is lean muscle growth and rentention, and i dont want to sacrifice my hard earned gains. However if i were a runner, or even a sprinter taking this supplement, it would really shine for that pourpose as well!
 
Cool progress, any updates on the pre supplements and plans for other products Brundel.:thumbsup:

Working on the stim portion of the pre. We dont want to use anything common which makes things very difficult. Working hard on it.

The new mixed epi product is looking good. Working on final doses and testing.

The new anabolic is in and ill likely cap some up for testing next week. If neither kasaj or halfhuman grow a third eye during testing well move quick on it.

Overall some great workouts. Killer back session, and some good pump work. My endurance is definitely up. Strentgh is maintaining and within the past two days my hunger is crazy. I have been following my body and eating more food. Since i have leaned out quite a bit i figure i might as well take advantage and grow, especially if my body is demanding it, which in this case, it certainly has been!

I think i am really starting to see some nice effects of this epi, its really picking up!
 
"I think i am really starting to see some nice effects of this epi, its really picking up!"

I believe EPI is a great addition !! I am loving it!
 
Good stuff bro. Def take advantage of it. Epi really increases metabolism so cals have to be high or youll cut. Add in sufficient cals though and youll blow up.

I just started to add about 2-400 calories a day, I will see where that takes me...I think I may have been missing out on some gains!!
 
When on cycle and growing you need 2g protein per lb of desired bodyweight. So if your goal is 200lbs you need 400.
Also a min of 500 extra cals per day. If your not gaining after a week add another 500. If you start to get a little chubby add cardio.

Curious where you came up with all these arbitrary numbers, is it based on anecdotal experience or something you have read?
 
You are a smart guy and certainly don't come across as really trying to learn as much as start trouble, so if that's the case then shame on me.

I think everyone should be open to expanding their knowledge continuously, hearing different ideas and viewpoints particularly on this very subject since it isn't spoken about much around here. I don't know what to tell you if you feel a very bland an unloaded question like that is starting trouble...

Feel free to chime in on answering my question if you wish.
 
100% from experience.
Lets take myself. I started at 135lbs and at my largest was 250lbs. 235 at 7%. So about 100lbs of muscle i put on myself. One thing i know is how to grow. Ive also applied my approach to a ton of others and Ive yet to see anyone fail who strictly adhered to the plan.
I also know a ton of competitors, some who are ifbb pros, and i see what they did and do to grow and cut snd maintain.
Experience for the win.

Thanks, that answers my question. 100lbs is a serious amount of weight, what you checking in at these days?

At 57 tears old I don't put on muscle like I used to, and being a former Fatty I am always scared to gain weight, so I am always very cautious, in the last three days I have added 3lbs so I am taking it slow and steady. I do respect you opinions and definitely appreciate your help!! Thank you!

Today, first thing in the morning after peeing and before any coffee or food 217. maybe 10%.
Keep in mind a few things though.
Im clean now so no "supplements"
I had a cardiac arrest in 2011 and was in a coma for 13 days and in bed for another 4 weeks with...another 2 more months I couldnt train or exercise.
I lost a ton of weight and the Dr doesnt want me over 200lbs or to lift over 20lbs. Obviously both are not gonna happen but I have to try to keep things safe and sane. My days of being a freak are over.

I fully understand. Of course Im only making suggestions and you know your body.

Well if you take one thing away from that story its that natural set points can be altered.

Have you done a long run of -epi yet? If so, what were you results?
 
Congrats to BLR with new and improved (-)epicatechin product and good luck to a good guy Empiremind :)

I 100% believe that long term steroid use changes you permanently.
After the cardiac arrest i was shriveled up. It took me about a year to regain 50+lbs of muscle. Basically impossible without muscle memory.
If i had never been big it would have taken half a decade to do that.

No issue, but I noticed you mention smith lifts. Any reason you are using them?

I really dont know lol. Ive changed my program up as im getting trained by someone and they have me doing more TUT work, high intensity with lower weight. For most of the chest and shoulder we do smith. I have a previous shoulder injury, so i think thats why weve been focusing on it more.

I normally stick to barbells and dbs for almost everything and avoided smith like the plague, but ive been getting some great work done. Its all been hypertrohy isolation focused.

Yesterday i had a monster ARMeggedon workout! I was noticably stronger with the recent rest and had amazing endurance. I was non stop, no real rests in between sets for about two solid hours. Almost everything was superset bi and tris or drop sets. My pumps were probably the best to date, my arms were swollen like crazy and my strentgh remained constant throughout. I was in love with how i felt (arm day high lol). I honestly looked like i came off a treadmill because my tank was completely soaked as i was sweating bullets, doing arms only lol. Got my cals up and only cleans foods. This past week or so this -Epi is really shining for me! Excited for the rest of the week!
 
I had to do a double take I thought that was all one workout the first time I looked at it !!

8lbs is legit. Especially for those of us who have a hard time gaining mass. The new Epi product is likely the strongest non steroid anabolic yet produced.
I do have high hopes for our new anabolic though. Well start testing maybe next week.
Thanks for running 2 logs. I know its a pain in the add but you do get to run and log fresh stuff at least.

Nooo thank u brother. No biggie on my part. Keeps me on track!!

Btw its 8lbs whole im doing a sh!t ton of cardio... As you can see with my logging. Also carb cycling. If i was bulking, it would be way more. But this last week ive just been feeling heavier, so i figured i weigh in... And there u go lol

I have to agree 100%, it is insane. I am getting more from this than my last blast I ran and I feel better because cardio is so much easier and encourages you to want to do more.
