Time to share.
The protocol:
FD2 was started on 7/21/2018. 3 caps/day, 1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 evening.
Vector was added to FD2 on 8/25/2018. 6 caps/day, 2 morning, 2 afternoon, 2 evening with the FD2.
HH6 was also in the mix to keep supplementation, diet, and training consistent. Any "changes" should be due to the addition of FD2 and Vector only sans typically out of control stuff like potential added stress from work, home, etc
Update 9/15/2018:
FD2 really didn't feel like it did anything for the first 2.5 weeks. AFTER 2.5 weeks, interestingly, started noticing and feeling more fullness from seemingly sustained pumps. NO increase in appetite, NO increase in strength, definitive increase in lethargy. But like I said....an interesting fullness was happening. Not sure if it can be described as perhaps intramuscular water retention pressure, but it is a good feeling. Somehow though, unlike others' reports, no strength or endurance increases really noted.
After about a month on FD2, still felt a bit of the sustained fullness but it never exceeded what was attained after 2.5 weeks. Enter Vector.
After addition of Vector for 1 week, began to note INCREASED feeling of fullness. There is a definite increase noted by shirts being much tighter around shoulders and arms primarily. Appetite DID increase, but did NOT add too much extra calories (at this time) to test the effect of the combination on its own without the extra fuel. I DID increase the calories for a couple days due to the appetite increase, but noted waistline increasing slightly when this was done, so backed off.
Today started to note an increase in exercise endurance, but no increases in strength. Noted that I am having to time meals around lethargy periods to combat the effect; others have noted that their blood sugar levels crashed after taking the combo (or singularly by themselves) and I am most likely NO different, though I am not monitoring blood sugar levels at this time.
I AM monitoring hormone levels, liver and kidney function, and can report there has been NO changes to LH, FSH, Testosterone (total or free), estrodiol, DHT, or SHBG compared to earlier blood work. Only took 1 test though so far during the run.
Discussion:
It is still early, but I think I'm a believer in the combo of FD2 + Vector (gonna call the combo FD2V from here on out) being anabolic. There is DEFINITE sustained fullness for me which I absolutely love. I do think, but I will need to start monitoring blood sugar levels, that the combo affects blood sugar levels. I DO believe that if I increased my calorie level that I would be gaining weight and strength that normally accompanies weight gain, but somehow the combo is not able to keep adipose acccumulation (for me) from happening when calories go significantly higher (again, only did this for 2 days though).
Unlike some other posts I have seen on the Vector thread, I DO NOT believe the combo affects hormone levels at all...at least not for me. But I'm not looking at this combo to do that.
This has definitely been an interesting run so far. The fullness and burgeoning endurance increase is most welcome even without calorie increase. I might try and increase the calories as BLR advises, but I will be monitoring my waistline VERY closely when I do this. I am not interested in size for the sake of size; it needs to be lean gains.
