To be fair I did start light on my accessory lifts but still the endurance from this is great for something natty.The best part about it is I am only 15 days in and have 2 more weeks left to go to test the strength aspects of this compound.
 
I suggest picking up a second bottle to run this for 8 weeks. Epicatechin only gets started after 4 weeks and you'll see strength increase significantly during weeks 4 to 8.

Squats
95lbs x10
135lbs x10
225lbs x10,5,3

Accessory Work
Box Squats 155lbs 5x10
SLDL 175lbs 5x10
High Rep Squats 135lbs I was able to get 23 reps

Notes
Again I Increased all the weight on my accessory lifts and still got all the sets.I hope to see some strength gains on my primary lifts.I got 225lbs RPT and my 1RM is 275.So the 225 was nice but can be better.
 
Solid volume and numbers. Strength will show up soon.

You know my squat of 255lbs for 18 reps is great for me especially for a natty supp.Also my BP of 165 for 16 reps is pretty good as well since my 1RM is 185.So for both lifts I am not far away from doing my 1RM for more sets. All I need is to add 30lbs on my BP & 50lbs on squats to do hit my 1RM for RPT reps.

GM's 95lbs 5x10
BO Rows 115lbs 5x10

Sleep issues subsided finally.If I wanted to I could add even more accessory work.
 
That's the beauty of epicatechin - endurance increase means volume increase. Add that additional accessory lifting to see where it takes you.

Also the lack of fatigue leaves you feeling you can keep on going.This is definitely a great natty for us "Over 35 guys".
Are you stacking anything with epi?

I just finished 8 weeks with just epicatechin. Only used it with BCAA and a PWO that I've used for years. I hate it when people stack additional supplements with a new compound. One never can tell which compound actually helped them.
 
8/10/2014 Day 21 185 Rep Squat Workout

95lbs x30
135lbs x20
175lbs 7x15
95lbs x30

Notes

Today I was able to get all 7 working sets without lowering the weight. I had to take 5 minute breaks between the last 3 sets.Again going over my journal my last GVT squat workout was with 175lbs.So I will add 10lbs next time.
 
Very nice squat volume! Endurance has really kicked in here.
 
8/11/2014 Day 22

Bench Press
95lbs x10
135lbs x10
165lbs x10,x4,x1

Accessory Work
Board BP 125lbs 5x10
Floor CGBP 95lbs 5x10
Seated OHP 105lbs 5x10

Notes
I know my primary BP is not very good but my accessory lifts keep increasing.It sucks getting older and not being unable to bench heavy.It is time for me to switch my chest routine to high volume hypertrophy work.

Thanks for joining in my log! I ran Follidrone and decided to test it with high volume lifting for the last 10 weeks.
 
8/13/2014 Day 24

Squats
95lbs x10
135lbs x10
245lbs x10,x3,x2

Accessory Work
SLDL 185lbs 5x10
Box Squats 165lbs 5x10
Widow Maker 135lbs x25

Notes
I went with 245lbs for my rest pause set.I did 10 reps the first set but failed on the last 2.My accessory work is a different story.Although it took longer between sets,I did get all reps and sets.Also managed to do 25 reps with 135lbs on widow maker.
 
I bet your 245 squat numbers would have been higher if you just used135 to warm up and dropped the 95 set. Nice lifting. Looking up widow makers. Hmm.
 
I never thought about that with dropping the 95 warmup.I need to try that next time.Widow maker is basically load the bar with 135lbs and see how many I can do.

Deadlift
135lbs x10
245lbs x10,x5,x3

Accessory Work
BO Rows 125lbs 5x10
GM 105lbs 5x10
Weighted Pullups with 10lbs 5x10

Notes
I took Kenpo's advice with just doing 135lbs for warm ups and I was able to do a total of 18 reps with 245lbs.Again with my accessory lifts I did get all sets & reps but time between sets increased.
 
8/17/2014 Day 28


Flat BP 135lbs 6x10
Floor CGBP 105lbs 6x10
Flat CGBP with 1 board 105lbs 6x10
Seated OHP 95lbs 6x10

Notes
Kenpo I borrowed your idea to do a high rep routine for chest.As usual with (-)-epi I am able to get all reps & sets.I did have to take a longer break between my reps on the last 2 exercises but still got all sets.The total time for today's workout was 1-1/2 hours. Sadly I have only 2 days left.
 
Nice work in here! Your chest should be pumped brother!
