I'm like that with shoulders or chest. I feel like once I get the pump going on either of those muscle groups I can keep going for a while. May have to lower the weight but could chase the pump all day.
Im to long limbed for the pushing days to be that much fun haha.

I felt like i leveled up during this workout. I just felt amazing and everything went great.
Im adding some more occlusion training as you can see and today i did it for the first time on side delts. Ive always done them on limbs, shoulders are a bit weird to to them on as you occlude the arm. But holy crap, the pump was real!

Recovery was spot on as well, just as i planed and hoped. In the green again after my rest day, perfect!

Week 19 M-Test

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

Another perfect week of diet in the books.
Sunday we went out to eat and I had a Smoked Brisket Sandwich, which was pretty darn good.
But again, they didnt have any deserts that i wanted. So my fiance said "Ill bake you a gooey chocolate cake just the way you like it"... and she did... and it was DAMN good.

Ok so my bodyweight actually dropped this week, so its time to up the calories.
Im actually adding a new food this time, Quinoa. I have not eaten Quinoa regularly before, so it will be interesting to see how my stomach reacts. I will be soaking it in apple cide vinegar over night before cooking to ensure better digestion.
The reason for adding it is because it has great micronutrient content, but also the food with the highest amount of ecdysterone. So that together with all the spinach im eating should give me a good amount of that on the daily basis.
Im not adding much to begin with, just around 30g a day which gives me just about a 100 calorie increase in intake.​

Another good one in the books! It very interesting to see what my Whoop is telling me these days. Since its a tool that "learns" my body and how it reacts, the longer you wear it the more correct it becomes. So now after a rest day my recovery was a high green again, just as it is supposed to be. Then it will decline untill im able to fully recovery on my nest rest day on friday.

You and the whoop are one now! You may just have to embed it in your wrist ;)

Weights are slowly but surely going up on these leg workouts. My achilles did hurt today but i managed to push thru it. I felt my sleep was so so today but I ended up getting a great recovery score again. It must be because of the cooler weather, not as hot at night and better sleep because of it.

What an amazing workout! Had great energy and the pump was off the hook. The addition of Amentoflavone XT from SNS definitely contributed to that! Looking forward to see how it treats me in the future.

1626962992081.png


But my workout shouldnt have been this good according to my Whoop, which gave me a really poor recovery stat today. Im trying to figure out why my HRV tanked so much this night. I am a little sore after yesterdays leg workout, and im almost never sore. So maybe that is it. Also sleep amount was low, so that probably had a hand in it as well.

Well tomorrow is a rest day so ill be sure to take advantage of that so that I can get in the green again.

Definitely looks like a recovery day is needed based on what whoop is saying. I think I need a rest day this weekend. Definitely a cheat day is coming for me with some good chinese food!

Yeah it seems like its needed. I got a bunch of sleep last night (almost 10 hours!) but my recovery barely moved. So it will be interesting to see what it shows tomorrow. I will be going out to eat lunch on sunday, so we will see if im in a need of a refeed or not then. I am in a caloric surplus so common sense says refeeds are not needed. But seems like nothing is common with me haha.

Dang 10 hours of sleep! I can't remember the last time I got that much sleep in one night. I'm usually around the 6 to 7 hour of sleep range.

Yeah it was one of those perfect storms! I got home from work and both me and my fiance was tired. So we ate, went a walk with the dogs and straight to bed. Combined with a day off from the gym meant i could sleep until 7am instead of 5am. BAM, 10 hours.

Today I increased my reps and pundages on EVERY movment, incredible. I did increase my daily caloric intake with 100 calories this week, so that must have helped. The pump was also amazing, my chest was pumped after the warm up sets on the first exercise! Thank you Amentoflavone XT!

Recovery spiked back up as well, just as "planned". It sure is nice when stuff happens like you expect them too.

I havent had a training partner in 10 years haha. So i train to failure as in when my technique breaks down. That seems to be working so far!

SERIOUS NUTRITION SOLUTIONS ANACYCLUS XT LOG
207092
207093


- Natural Testosterone Booster
- Natural Anabolic Properties
- Lean Muscle & Strength Gains
- Sexual Health & Performance
- Improved Libido & Vitality
- Ultra-Potent Anacyclys Pyrethrum Extract

Finally its time for something new! Unfortunately all the EU distributors of SNS has been slow when it comes to stock all the new goodies. So i decided to try to get it directly from the source, and it worked!
Ive been wanting to try something new for a while, and SNS always has the best stuff.
I have 2 bottles so this will be a 8 week long run.
I will be stacking this with M-Test and Epi-Plex as ive been using them for a good long time now and belive I can distinguish what effects Anacyclus XT brings to the table.

DOSING

I will follow the recommended dosage which means 1 cap forur times a day with meals.

STARTING STATS

207094


Height: 190 cm
Weight: 84,7 kg
Body Fat: 11,8% (Using an Aria Fitbit Scale)

MY DIET

The last couple of years ive been following The Vertical Diet by Stan Efferding and ive never felt better. The diet revolves around getting enough of all the micro nutrients thru a solid food selection and having optimal digestion.

Right now im lean bulking but keeping an eye on fat gain. So calories are being manipulated as needed.

Ive stopped with my weekly refeed and instead i usually have 1 treat meal a week. This tend to land on sundays as my post workout meal. Where me and my fiance go out and spend some quality time together.

I do a carb cycle plan with 2 low, 2 ,medium and 3 high days.

LOW DAYS
3090 kcal
262g protein
255g carbs
88g fat

MEDIUM DAYS
3518 kcal
280g protein
339g carbs
92g fat

HIGH DAYS
3632 kcal
280g protein
362g carbs
94g fat

MY TRAINING

Strength training
Im lifting 5 days a week with 2 days completely off.
Split looks like this:

Monday - Off
Tuesdays - Chest, Shoulders, Triceps and Abs
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Back, Biceps and Abs
Friday - Off
Satuday - Chest, shoulders, triceps, quads, glutes, calves
Sunday - Beck, Biceps, Hamstrings, Calves and abs

My focus now is back thickness and quad size.

Cardio
Im following Stan Efferdings suggestion on doing 2-4 ten minutes walks post meals every day. The reasoning behind these walks are that they will improve insulin sensitivity, decrease gas, improve digestion, decrease DOMS and aid in recovery. I also walk my dogs a couple of times a day. I usually get from 15k to 20k steps each day.

Mobility
I start and finish every workout with mobility drills, stretching and foam rolling.
I usually spend around 30-40 minutes per session at this.

EXPECTATIONS

This is a supplement I dont have any experience with before. I know it has been used in a few older beloved supplements and people relly enjoyed the results.
For me at the age of 42 the results im hoping for are in line with the outline.

- Optimize test production
- Vitality and virilization
- Muscle gain

Really looking forward to this run and hope some of you want to follow along.​

I pushed extra reps or weight on EVERY exercise today, that felt good!
My recovery for monday started off good, but it dipped today. We are having another heat wave so im guessing the heat at night is the culprit. But im still in the yellow so that isnt too bad!

Yesterday while reracking a dumbbell i tweaked my lower back. So I was a bit sceptical to how todays workout would go. I brought my belt just in case it was needed. But I ended up not using it because of my exercise choices. Im doing exercises that doesnt put too much strain on my achilles and because of that my whole body is pretty much locked when doing them. So I actually increased either my reps or weights on all exercises today!

My Whoop noticed my injured back so my recovery was low today. But not in the red at least so thats good!

Yesterday my fiance worked an evening shift and usually i just go to bed early then. But I hadnt seen here since the morning the day before, so i decided to stay up and wait for her. So when she came home we had some time tigether, watched the Crossfit Games before going to bed, where we ended up making love (tmi i know, but it is importent to get the complete picture).

When my alarm went up at 05.00am i woke up dead tired. Had some light headache and a serious brain fog. Partly because I stayed up way longer than usual but having intercourse at night just wrecks me the next morning. Something my Whoop always agrees with:

207160


I sometimes tease my fiance about this. Showing her the recovery score and telling her "see what i sacrifice for you!"... for some reason she doesnt find it funny haha.

Well, as it was a big back day I had to get my **** together, luckily yesterday i got my second delivery from @sns8778 which contained some real goodies.

207161


I did seriously concider taking Vasoforce Rush as my PWO today as I felt so tired. But i really dont like to take a high stim PWO during the work week as I dont know how i will feel at work afterwards. So i ended up with this stack:

207162


And... holy ****! I had one of the best workouts in memory! Some of my strength increases today is beyond wild (that is probably due to other things though) i had the sickest back pump ever and the energy was insane. This stack is a MUST try!

Yet again im beating the log book on all lifts, its truly amazing how well its going now!

Last night we went to the movies after work, which we dont normally do on a friday as saturday is out movie night. But my fiance is working this weekend and I really wanted to see The Jungle Cruise. Which was awesome! But that meant less sleep last night. Also the night before my sleep got cut short as we had a thunderstorm and one of my puppies really doesnt like the loud bangs. So I stayed with him to make sure he was ok.

In spite of that my recovery was awesome this morning. It just goes to show how much spending quality time doing something you really like, matters. Going the movies and enjoying myself for 2 hours apparently dropped my stress levels so that my body more easily could recover.

207288


On Saturday evening i fell into a tub of ice cream, not planned but **** happens!
Sunday I had a daddy/daughter day. So we first went to the gym in the morning and i put her thru my pull workout and she was a champ. She even survived the occlusion training haha.
After that we went out to eat. She picked the "food" place and i the dessert place. So that meant Italian for the main course and then we went to a waffle place for a big waffle with nutella, fruits, oreos and the works. Pluss a awesome milkshake!

207289

207293
207294

My sleep performance was down because I prioritized family a couple of nights instead of sleep. Recovery also reflects this, plus one red which I cant really wrap my head around.

Supplement comments:
The Anacyclus XT and M-Test combo seems legit! Ive been having a fantastic week when it comes to performance in the gym. Strength gains has been a bit crazy but very welcome.
Ive also noticed an increased libido after adding Anacyclus XT to the mix. Only one week in but so far im very happy.​

I'm glad that you're really enjoying M-Test and Anacyclus XT and it's really awesome that that's increasing your libido; especially being that from our experience, not much effects that, so that's really cool.

Also, congratulations on the Daddy Daughter day.

I keep blasting the logbook to shreds each workout and it feels amazing. Gotta be careful now so that I dont give myself an injury! Recovery was in the yellow today which is not where id like to see it after a day off. We will have to see how it goes the rest of the week. Even though im feeling great it might be a sign that deload is needed soon.

Yeah ive seen a couple of vidoes of his. I gotta say i much prefer peoples cheat day videos, where they are enjoying foods. Erik just shovels it down and it doesnt seem like he is tasting it or enjoying it haha. Its like when im out to eat the foods i post, i put my fork and knife down between each bite so that i can really savor the flavour and everything sourrounding it.

Another great workout with good progress. My achilles does hurt on these workouts but thats mostly on the calf exercises. But I dont think I can avoid that to be honest. Recovery was the exact same as yesterday, even though i got more sleep.

Another workout where I am lifting increased reps and/or weights on everything. BUT i am absolutely feeling more run down after the workouts. When looking at todays recovery score I think ill start my deload tomorrow. Seems like the perfect time for that now. I feel good but Im gonna trust the Whoop and see how that goes.

Deloading on my program is pretty simple. I do 2 working sets to failure on most of the exercises, in 2 different rep ranges. So basically ill just drop the second working set for each of those. That will reduce the volume and strain greatly. But it will still help me keep the strength thru the deload.

Monthly Report July 2021

207404


Sleep performance increased for the third month in a row!

207405


Strain is cardiovascular exertion, so its kinda fudged when it comes to strength training. BUT the fact that im lifting heavier and more and the Strain is lower I take as good sign!

207406


Only TWO days in the red in the whole of July! Thats something to be proud of. You can also kinda see a pattern to where my days off are (mondays and fridays).

207407


Well I am definitely doing my job when it comes to sleep!

207408


I will keep wearing my Blue Light Glasses thats for damn sure. The Sex part is, well, SNS Anacyclus XT is making it hard to be abstinent from that! So thats a sacrifice ill have to make!
Added sugar and Late meal (refeed) I have noticed really wrecks my recovery. So trying to limit that to once a week.

This change in HRV could be a sign of over reaching. So It will be interesting to see if my deload week will help boost it or not.

Well this is a really good picture to finish up this log with!
Im in a caloric surplus but not increasing my bodyfat by much at all. Infact it dropped a bit, which is great to see.

Plans for August

Im now on my second week of Anacyclus XT which i plan on doing for a total of 8 weeks.
I just started my last bottle of M-Test so that will keep me thru August. After that im on the fence if I should get more or stop M-Test and run SNS new natty Anabolic solo to gauge its effect in a vacuum. Or keep taking M-Test with that on top. Ill have a talk with @sns8778 and hear his opinions. Either way im looking forward to it.​

Great comprehensive update. I would stay on M-Test imo. I think you have a great idea of how its working for you so I think you can still run anything else and tell how its working/helping.
