Indeed a few questions.
I should have mentioned some of these already so thanks for asking!!
1+2.doses = 2 caps first thing in the morning 7am, and 2 caps in the afternoon 4pm. Considering upping just not sure which dose to increase.
3.morning is before food by 20 minutes and afternoon is usually after last small meal which is at 3pm
4.No change
5.appetite is maybe a little stronger. fortunately BX will help with this.
6.Joints were ok, just some knee pains in the morning. That has been noticably reduced.
7. I would say close to 2 weeks after first dose I noticed subtle changes.

I hear you, that "scaled" competition I entered just release another WOD. They have DU in the scaled division!!!! My partner and I are screwed. He can do 2 singles, then a double. I can do 3 single, then a double. Worst part, I have to hold a sandbag over my head while he struggles to get 20 DU, LOL.

Happens to me too sometimes, especially if I don't take at least 45sec between sets. Once pulse rate hits about 170 I get this queasy feeling and have to let it subside. It's worse in the summer and stacked with stims and borderline dehydration too.

And I was able to get 4 individual muscle ups. Cant string them just yet...
PUSH PRESS==145lbs!! **PR** !!
SPLIT JERK ===135lbs
FRONT SQUAT with 3 second hold at the bottom! 3 reps hit 185lbs!! **PR**

Yes, that's smart of you! May as well let them decorate as they please, i have come to the same conclusion bro.
And I'm not kidding about the dolphin, man. I got little kid style Finding Nemo characters hand painted directly on the garage wall, right in the background of my home weight station set-up, lol. Nobody F's with me when I get up off the bench all swole to intercept guests coming over. Yeah, there's freakin' clownfish paintings on the wall, What?!

you're too much!
My next house will have a nice garage or basement for a home gym and I'll have to see how intimidating a dolphin will be..
As long as she doesn't try to decorate my area I don't care. its unneeded stress! As we get older we learn!

Nice PR's!
BTW, I did the computation, it was a BLAST! When it came to DU, my partner couldn't do any, so I had to do ALL of them. I was on the struggle bus. Learned a lot, and didn't come in last place... so I would say it was a success. I plan to switch over to xfit FT in about a month. I will nail it hard for the next 4 months, then enter another local comp solo and see where I land.

Yesterdays results
It is very difficult to do crossfit class first and then barbell after.. I was totally zapped for energy at the end. But I did manage to hit decent numbers.. Squatting was a bitch and I am feeling it today. Damn cleans killed me.
Strength==(Held back due to knowledge of heavy squats in the barbell class, worked up to 185lbs for the final 3 sets)
Back Squat (60/6, 65/6, 70/6 x 3 sets)
Conditioning
A: Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)==Came out strong with 6 rounds and 7 reps. Most reps for guys!! BOOM
AMRAP 5 minutes:
-10 power cleans (75lbs)
-10 push ups
REST 3:00
B: Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)==Came out too strong in the first round and only got 4 rounds which was 4th for guys
AMRAP 5 minutes:
-7 Hang cleans (115/75, 95/65, 75/55)
-7 ring dips/ring dips/ banded ring dips
REST 3:00
C: Metcon (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)==Totally sucked here with only 2 rounds and 5 reps. Triceps were shot from dips.
AMRAP 5 minutes:
-5 cleans (135/95, 115/75, 95/65)
-5 HSPU/HSPU/mod HSPU
Barbell I was really low on energy at this point..
A: Back Squat (5 sets x 2 reps @ 85-90% (3 sec pause @ bottom)) Even after all the cleans I hit 260lbs for 2 reps with 3 second hold
B: Snatch (60/2, 70/2, 80/2, 85/2, 90/1, 85/2, 90/1, 95/1) ==Got 115lbs
C: Snatch Pull (4 set x 3 reps @ 110% (3 sec pause 2" off ground))==Stuck with 115lbs

I wanted to do murph so bad... BUT, I am still recovering from messing up my shoulder from last Saturdays competition. Then, last Monday I trained legs, and pulled something on the right side of my leg. I am hot mess, I cannot tell you how irritating this is.
BTW, how long did it take you?
