Yea pretty interesting stuff. Looks like I have a lot more reading to do, there's so many different factors. I found this, and it is absolutely packed with information, I've been reading for the last 30 mins or so, and need a mental break lol. One thing that stood out was "GH Bleed" with cjc-1295, which may be a concern, but some say its a myth?? As I said I got a lot more reading to do. I'll probably spend the better part of my day reading about this now, thanks for keeping me busy! lol

If you scroll down like 1/4 of the page it has an index, where you can navigate wherever you want to read.

It is a proven fact, not sure how people would think it is a myth. HOWEVER that being said it is far less of an issue than everyone makes it out to be. The complaint about it is that GH normally comes in spikes, and not a slow steady stream. At least with men, but females have more of a steady stream. So there is no health risk to GH "Bleed" the word bleed makes it sound worse than it really is. All it means is that you have set the pituitary to slowly trickle out GH increasing your total baseline. There are a lot of benefits to this especially in IGF-1 production.

The argument is that since there is not pulse this is not how your GH naturally releases. Well having stable increased levels of testosterone is not normal for the body either but you don't see those same people freaking out about running testosterone cycles. Funny thing is there is no recovery needed after a CJC W DAC cycle, your body goes back to producing natural pulses. You can also jump start that with a GHRP.

Anytime you want an effective cycle you want continuously elevated levels of the hormone you are trying to stimulate. That is where DAC is superior to other peptides. It keeps the continuous elevation that allows for the extra muscle growth and fat loss you are trying to achieve on a cycle. Toss in a GHRP with it and you can get some ridiculously INSANE GH SPIKES!

In the world of PED's saying you don't want to use something because it has unnatural characteristics makes ZERO sense. The entire point of the cycle is to be in a super-physiological hormonal state. IE well above natural capability. There is nothing natural about PED cycles, and that is actually the point.

Looks like it's non-hormonal right so it would be perfect to run between cycles? Not super familiar with GH or peptides. Going to have to read up on it a lot more.

Only thing that might stop me is I have a ton of work trips coming up and I'll be on planes all over the place

No it is most definitely hormonal, GH is a hormone. However I think you mean it does not effect the HPTA, and that would be correct.

Once (or twice) per week injections for this peptide are nice.

Not hormonal. Another good bit of info:

I would go with 3... keep levels up better.

2mg/week.

The difference between running 2mg and 3mg a week is pretty damn noticeable. If you are spending the cash I would at least go to 3mg if you can, 1mg Mon - Wed -Fri. You will be much happier, that or toss in some GHRP-2 or IPA in there once or twice a day. One post workout and one pre-bed and you will be in love.

Nice, will definitely start adding in those rest pauses. Also, you saw that I'm starting with inclines now to place emphasis.
 
So I've been doing this split for a couple months now, time to change it up. Going to start a modified PHAT routine. Beginning Monday it will be:

Upper Power
Lower Power (w/ abs)
Shoulders / Back Hyper
Lower Hyper (w/ abs)
Chest / Arms Hyper
 
Got in for some abs and light cardio this morning and this new little separation caught my eye.

for power damn????I thought power is mainly low reps and heavy weights!
Click to expand...
Actually true power is lower weight and lower reps performed as quickly as possible.

In Sports and training Power is how fast you can apply force. Sports Definition: the ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping and throwing implements. While strength is the maximal force you can apply against a load, power is proportional to the speed at which you can apply this maximal force.

However Layne Norton chose to use Power for the strength focused days. He obviously knows the difference between power and strength. So we can simply assume he chose to use Power for the sake of the Acronym. I mean let's be honest you would rather do a PHAT workout than a SHAT workout. It just sounds like someone took a big dump in the gym.

No you are correct, that is the way it is done generally. However he modified it to his current goals, previous months of training and preference of slightly higher volume. Make no mistake though that his rep ranges now are more strength based than they were at 10-15 reps like he was discussing.

You are basically using a Daily Undulating Protocol, or Conjugate method. Basically just switching the stressors throughout the training macrocycle for better overall stimulation and growth. These methods have definitely proved to be the best for progress in a lot of ways.

Thanks for the quick schooling man.
 
Opted for a couple hours extra sleep yesterday morning and had taken a nice little cocktail the night before to insure it. The rest was welcomed and the grogginess from the cocktail lasted pretty much all day. Slept good again last night and woke today ready to crush.

Have overshot my calories the past 2 days, but mostly with fat. Carbs have still landed around 80, but fat closer to 200. PB and Wasabi almonds are my go-to to kill cravings. Sodium has been a bit high from the lunch meat also. So by last night I was feeling rather wet. Flushed pretty good this morning and the sweat was pouring during the workout. Body comp is looking real nice with the pump.

Killer video of a killer song. Although Randy Blythe meant these lyrics as an insult to the whole ideology of this war, I guess they can be interpreted the other way around also and match this video perfectly. The whole album is very anti-Bush / anti-War. Killer fukcing song though that had me feeling the sprints.
