Day 23
Weight: 180.4 lbs
Up 0.3 lbs week-over-week, and 7.7 lbs since my weigh-in on week 1.
On the 5 of 7 days that I have nutritional data logged for the week, I averaged about 2600 calories. That is less than 100 calories off from the original target intake. Being that I'm still...
Day 22
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Nothing to report.
TRAINING:
Another rest day. There's been a bunch of sick people at work and home. Caught something a few days back but I did a decent job of fighting it off (I think). Feeling...
Day 21
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Nothing to report.
TRAINING:
A true rest day. Took the family out and did a fair amount of walking around. Ate some free food (chicken breast & chili) and had a good time.
NUTRITION:
Total...
It's not the overall calories necessarily, it's more the macros that I'm less than pleased with; specifically protein. In my case, my original targets seem to be a bit high so I'm going to be scaling back a bit.
More to your point though, I definitely exploit the peanut butter [or almond...
Day 20
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Same as yesterday. It's nothing like it was at onset, but still annoying nevertheless.
TRAINING:
Hate. This. Workout.
I used decent (for me) weight on some of the exercises, I just don't...
Day 19
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Urination. Still seems to start around the workout and subside shortly thereafter.
TRAINING:
Weights were up again. I suck at pull-ups, so those were actually pretty good for me. I moved to...
I went back through the log and added some sub headings to the sections within each day. The hope is that it makes it easier to sift through to whatever aspect(s) may be important to you.
Thanks for sticking with me so far guys. I'm going to do my damnedest to kick it into ludicrous speed...
Day 18
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening. I woke up about 30 minutes early, took my first cap and then dozed back off. Trying to give myself more time between dosages to help with sides.
SIDES:
- Had a brief and mild bout of the urination sensation...
Day 17
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- As much as I sound like a broken record, I want to be thorough. The damned pissing feeling came back mid-workout today. I'm going to attribute this one more to having taken one cap shortly before the...
Day 16 (we are into week 3 for those that might be math-challenged)
Weight: 180.1 lbs Up 4.4 lbs week-over-week, and 7.4 lbs since my weigh-in on week 1.
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Splitting up the epistane is HIGHLY recommended. I...
Days 14 & 15
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- No info to report regarding sides/potential sides.
TRAINING:
Both were rest days. Since there was nothing noteworthy in terms of training, I figured I would combine the two entries. Sorry for...
Day 13
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Just as quickly as the damn pissing frequency thing came on, it seems to have subsided (thankfully!)
TRAINING:
Today was another rest day so nothing to report in terms of training.
NUTRITION...
Day 12
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 1 cap morning, 1 afternoon and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Annoyed at the frequent urination/feeling of need to urinate. It's probably not one of those things that you want to use the old mind-over-matter logic with.
TRAINING:
Still not a fan of this...
Day 11
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 2 caps morning and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Still sulfurific.
- Urination dealy was just as annoying today. I'll give it another day before I go snag some extra supports for this (the cycle support has saw palmetto which is supposed to help).
TRAINING...
Day 10
DOSING:
3 caps (45mg); split 2 caps morning and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Grrrr... Really hoping that this is a fleeting side as they have thankfully been so far, but damn do I have to piss often. Not only that, but I can feel like I need to urinate almost immediately after having...

DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 2 caps morning and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Nothing noteworthy to report in terms of side effects.

Start of the work[out] week. The rep scheme is changing on these each week, but the order and movements are...
Day 8
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split 2 caps in the morning, 1 in the evening.
SIDES:
- Sweating has toned down. It seems that any of these things which might be associated come and go pretty quickly as my body adapts to the epistane (which is almost as good as not having anything happen...
Agreed. I average two showers a day so that isn't likely to change anytime soon. It is however pretty popular at my gym to skip the shower after working out or a quick dab of hand soap under the pits at the sink. Yeah, I work with some nasty people...
Side note on the night sweat deal: I...
Day 7
DOSING:
3 caps today (45mg); split morning, afternoon and evening.
SIDES:
- Getting some crazy night sweats. I woke up in the middle of the night completely soaked; Freaking gnarly. Had the AC and fan going as usual so it's not like anything changed environmentally.
TRAINING:
...
Day 6
DOSING:3 caps today (45mg); split 2 caps morning and 1 in evening.
SIDES:
- Either my body is starting to adapt or I'm not noticing things anymore. Either way, nothing noteworthy to report in terms of side effects.
TRAINING:
I wasn't feeling a rest day so I repeated the first upper...
