That's right - I'm running an 8-week cycle of LG's new Natadrol!
So what does that mean? Wanton destruction of adipose, personal records and probably my fellow gym-members' egos, of course!
The ensuing carnage--> :redeemerwhore:
Me vs. my fellow gym-members -->:bow28:
Dubbed a "Non-steroidal Androgen", Natadrol consists of several plant-derived extracts: Tinospora Cordifolia, good ol' cissus, Hibiscus and Curculigo Orchioides.
I've been researching on Tinospora Cordifolia, the plant from which the androgenic extract has been taken, and it has quite some interesting capacities. There is some evidence that it is suppressive as well, but TC is used frequently as an ayurvedic treatment for male infertility, so I am not convinced either way concerning this ingredient's suppressiveness.
The other ingredients I haven't done much reading on, so if someone has something to contribute, let me see it!
Now, considering it's been almost 3 months since my last log, IIRC, here's an update for how things currently stand in the Resolve Household:
Stats:
6'4"
249lb
10-11% BF
Current PRs:
I'm happy to report that I am currently the strongest I have ever been with PRs of:
325 Olympic Front Squat, 355 Bench Press, 515 Deadlift
Diet and Routine:
I'm recomping with Intermittent Fasting, 3500-4200kcals/day, and one cheat meal on Friday evenings. 1.5g Prot/lb/day, low carb, plenty of healthy fat.
Gym-wise, I'm performing 5 full-body sessions per week, power-lifting 2 days with 5/3/1 and body-building the other 3 with high volume.
Goals with ND:
Strength retention or improvement while on a calorie deficit
Body Recomposition
Joint Improvement (via Cissus)
Other Supplements:
B Complex
D3
Fish Oil
BC+EAA
WPI
Creatine Mono
X-Force
I3C
ZMA
ALCAR/PLCAR
ND Dosing:
Starting Monday with 6 caps/day, 2 upon waking, 2 pre-workout, 2 at dinner. PCT is most likely going to be sponsored by IBE, which I will log separately when the time comes.
And so, let the frenzy commence!
