Mattrag and MankoOyaji's leanville quest with Mdrol/AH

mattrag said:
End of day 13. I am gonna add the endoamp max to night time dosing to try get me to sleep better. I feel elevated cortisol levels. My left eye lid keeps twitching (past two days). So I have a feeling it has something to do with that.
Also, lowered nolva to 10mgs.

You should try a cortisol blocker man i bet it would help a ton right now, What would you say the side effects of elevated cortisol are FEELING wise to know if it's too high or not? I've got a nice Cortisol blocker set up in my PCT, in fact that is like the one thing i would think would be super important considering coming off a PH or AAS you have very high cortisol levels. Some people take a full-week off but i would think a couple days would be sufficient (well my plan at least haha)
 
Oh and Vitamin C at 1.5-3 Grams per day 1 Gram upon awakening and 1-2 grams Post workout lowers cortisol in as little as 24 hours. :)

Haha, it's FLEXED. So its not like i have 18.5 guns resting... I need more size on them still. Though all my friends say my arms are too big... I just cant see it.. =\

Lol my arm are nearly the same either way. My bis don't peak a lot they are just really full. If you get what I mean. But yeah they are def big dude shut up haha. Still going strong. Nice.

I am technically on one. PCT black has the same ingredient as erase and is double dosed and Im taking 2 a night. Perhaps I can take one in the AM as well? Hmm. Ive run Lean Extreme but I wont comment cause that PCT was horrible lol.
The feeling for me of elevated cortisol is not being able to handle stress correctly. Like, not blowing up at someone, but kinda the reverse. Blowing up at yourself, letting small things make the most of you, not having the confidence. Also, bp, that eye thing are some anecdotal symptoms but I would think nothing but an adrenal test and saliva test would show you real results. Also, feeling tired in the AM and wired at night (like me).

I don't drink juice lol. Besides all orange juice is fake.... they add some kind of chemical to "standardize the taste" then add in orange flavor lol. That's why all the orange juice taste the same year round. ;)

Well erase really stresses my joints. I don't know if it's both dryness and low cort or both. Lean extreme... Maybe I just wasn't taking it right? Or maybe I shouldn't have cut in pct lol. I just didn't notice ANYTHING from it. It's good on paper. It's damn good. Specially with the foskolin but did nothing for me.
For cort block I was planning on getting my carbs (to blunt any gluconeogenesis which will cause a rise in cortisol ) in and vitamin c. I have endoamp max and some more cortisol adaptogens.

Cortisol. I would honestly NOT do lean gains when you are trying to recover from adrenal fatigue but there are plenty of theories.

Buy local of all you can man! Thats the way. :)
 
Haha fortunately where I live I can get almost everything local. No to mention we grow out own food. And a lot of our own meats. We get a full pig raised naturally by my grandfather and a quarter of grass fed beef from my neighbor every year. And grow own vege and fruits. but anyways I think I'm just an angry man. Haha. I have been like this a long time. But I got tht bottle of erase to toss in in a few more weeks with some other stuff. Lean gains to cut about 15 pounds before spring gets here. Oh yeah. I need to get back to the gym soon. My back is almost better I think.

Pure recomp would be cool man! Haha I haven't lifted in like nearly a month now I guess. And I have lost no weight at all. Holding at 12% bf or less. And visibly no real reduction is muscle mass or strength. I can tell I'm off of supps but that's about it. Gota love natty test ;)

These were taken on Friday 1/ 27/2012

I was still up around 20lbs since the beginning of the cycle. End of Week 2 of PCT. Actually look a little better than when I was still on Mdrol. Cept my arms got smaller... (Still 18.5 inches flexed though, didnt want to measure on cycle as to depress me further lol)
 
Nothing to be afraid of there man. Looking swole up. Hell of a cycle. Great job.
 
Todays AM workout

CG bench
135x15
205x9
205x10 (PR)

Bent over row
135x20
225x10
295x3
315x8 (PR)
315x7

SLDL

135x15
225x10
235x10 (PR)

EZ bar curl

70x15
90x10
90x10 (PR)

Upright rows
70x20 (PR)
70x19



So, after thinking about it... me just going up in reps is not the best idea specially when I am going up to the point where I am hitting some of my 5RMs for 10 reps... Probably not so good for my cortisol levels lol. So as I am entering week 3 I will now move the reps back to 5 and just move the weight up by 10lbs every workout. ;) My "deload" will be when I catch the airplane from Japan to Korea (2hr stop over), then to Hawaii.
That should be enough time to deload. I'm hoping I can lift the day I get back.
