Go for it. It won't hurt you at all. And grab yourself the largest margarita available. Make sure it is top shelf stuff.

Glad to see you guys to still busting your A$$!!!
I'm still lifting, but fighting some freaking lethargy from HELL! Have not had this problem before and I cannot shake it. I'm sure it is a mixture of cycle + life, but give me a break.
Anyone have a suggestion of what can be added to combat this sh!t?
I've run EPI before and did not have an issue with lethargy at all.

Sorry Meister, referesh my memory please. What are you running and at what week are you in?
NM, I see, still the Epi/Trans I assume. What doses are you at. I had this issue with my halo run about 5 weeks in. I know it is early, but thus far, I have been getting a bit of an energy boost shortly after I dose Epi, but everyone is different. Most documents I have read state that it usuually does not cause Lethargy.

The Trans is to prevent lethargy on cycle... maybe something to increase free test might help...

Just so you all know, I will not have dietary numbers for today. We had a carry in at work. I kept it clean, eating mainly from meat and chese tray (Roast Beef, Turkey Breast and Ham), did allow myself one white bread bun for a sandwich, the fruits and a bit of a mexican dip made with sausage and cream cheese (no chips). Steared clear of the pie and sweets completley.

Holidays do not make it easy when dieting! That is why I am sooo happy I am maintaining very well at around 10%-ish until after the 1st of the year, then it is on, I will get down to the leanest I have ever been by Summer and with this additional muscle I have packed on since the "Silver Surfer" back in 2008, I expect to look way better!

11/22/11 Day 2, wk 2 (MC7)
5:35-6:30 (8 minute cardio warm up to get a sweat rolling)
(PH day 5)
Deads - 295x3, 335x3, 380x2 (Wanted 4 here, kind of pissed me off, got 3 at this weight in MC 5, WTF?. Got to put this behind me and work towards 400 for next weeks DL session.)
Assisted Pull Up @ 205
10/10/10 (Slow neg, 10 second let down on last rep)this is 5 more pounds and 2 more reps than last week.
BO Med. Grip BB rpw @245 4/6 (Just was not feeling these tonight for some reason)
Magnum Lat Row Machine, parallel grip (Hit this because the way the BB rows went)
150x12, 170x10
Romanian Deadlift - 245x10, 255x10
Hanging Leg raise 15/15/12
Since I skipped cardio last night I went ahead and did some 5 stage variable resistance cardio, 5 min/stage, sprint the last 50 seconds. 25 total minutes, 121 cals.
As noted earlier, not sure about the dietary number but given that I did a good job of maintaining discipline, I doubt I went over 2600 cals on the day. Estimated burn of 4074.

Yea man! today I got a thanks giving party. Japan has a "thanks day" that is the day before thanks giving. So us americans are having a thanksgiving day.
BTW, I took what you had to say in my friend's log (manko Oyaji, btw, I dare any of you to look up what that means in Japanese... lol). Started a volume based program. Following some Kris Gethin (who I am a BIG fan of), and your lead.
I must say I like the workouts better. Easier for me to "get into".
Other than that me and my friends are going to start a combined log (notabear too) similar to this one!! Please check it out later. I'll drop a link when I start it.

Well my run of N2 Burn is coming to an end. While I was pleasantly surprised I don't think it is something that should be taking during a PCT. While I dropped some weight in the beginning I actually ended up gaining 4 lbs over all. I dropped down to 242 and stayed for a few weeks then went back up to 246. I feel a little leaner over all. Hopefully I will be able to get some pics and measurement after this weekend. Even though it is a holiday weekend.

Have not tried it and I honestly don't want to, but if I need to I will. Today was awesome and I don't know what the difference was. I did pop 1 cap of Lipo 6 black for a little boost and maybe that did the trick, but I don't want to make it a habit.
I feel freaking swole as H3LL today though. Shirt fitting nice and tight. If I can keep this energy for a week, I'll post a new pic.

Some stims might raise BP but generally they would be more likely to increase heart rate. Yohimbe can increase BP for sure. There is a chance that Geranium might as well cuz it is supposed to constrict blood vessels. I have not heard of it increasing preasure though.

I do RC work every upper body lift day, I just don't log it. It has basically cured the bursitis in my right RC, we are still working on the left. Doing DB flyes is what screwed them both up, so I am never doing those again.
