Gonna hit the sauna and call it a day. I did up my microdose on the epiandro from two pumps of TD (150mg) to 1 cap of Stano (300mg). Which for all I know might be the same thing in the end going from TD to oral.
I've been doing two pumps a day in the morning just to see how I take to it. It's been about a year and my sessions have been a little blah. It feels like even this little microdose is putting a little more oomph into things. I have a ton, like 6+ bottles so I'm not too worried about wasting it.I missed this.

Still a bit of a twinge in the back of the knee when I move wrong. But honestly everything still hurts from this weekends garden work down to my ankles
Short on time today, skeleton crew at work so stayed a bit late and skipped lunch but got some decent work in.

I haven't used xpg. The icon epi TD I was trying to get up to 1500mg a day lol, but anything more then 600 a day was giving me a rash. I think I gotta stick with the oral. 12-16 pumps a day of any TD is probably going to cause skin problemsXpg.

yeah I think I peaked around 1250-1350 mg last run about a year ago mixing Rob's ultraepi with Steves oral epiandro. IIRC I started with ultrahard and when I ran out I upped it to the ultraepi. Thing about ultrahard is I really like the androsterone in it for overall good mood vibes, it seems to offset the short fuse I get when megadosing epiandro lol. it was hella hard on my shoulders though, I was basically adding the td then coming back and adding lotion.I haven't used xpg.

Also, that's a good reminder I was considering picking up Iconic DHEA+pregnenolone. I don't think XPG has a combo product if I recall, but could be mistaken.

Different gym location, different equipment. Had to modify and try some new things like that life fitness pulldown machine, but I gotta admit it hit what I was looking for.

thanks man, this dry but cold weather has been a blessing. I have had the mentality that chipping away every weekend throughout the winter would set us up nicely for spring season. Right now I think we're tracking!Looking great man, nice progress
Dude that is going to be awesome! I wouldn’t want to leave thereI know it looks like trash righ tnow, construction zone. but making real progress. Just imagine the ground is leveled, the weed barriers are covered in dirt and woodchips, and the boxes are filled with growing crops lol.
Skipped gym unfortunately on Sunday because the greenhouse still wasn't quite done and I felt like if I didn't get every hour of daylight into it this weekend I'd really regret it in a week when the rain comes back.
I still have a dozen small things to do but the hard stuff is basically complete. every muscle in my body hurts lol. Last night I was thinking about the midwest guys having to do ANY JOB at all outdoors in the cold because these past 2 days I didn't leave the house once, spent every minute of daylight outside in 27f weather working on this garden and I can't even imagine if we were talking 0F type stuff.
those winebarrelse were a cool pick up I got a few months ago and cut in half for tomato plants. 2 weeks ago I filled the boxes with a load of composting horse manure, and the past few weeks has been hauling that gravel to the area that is now the greenhouse. its been a long winter already lol. something better germinate!

funny you say that, my wife was like "we need to try to get out more in 2026". but in 2025 the plan was to work on the homestead and make home feel more like a destination, which is where my time and finances have gone. so now I'm like, I don't want to leave, we did it! and she's "lets go on a vacation!"Dude that is going to be awesome! I wouldn’t want to leave there![]()

It was a good treat and I definitely had more than my share lol.Oh forgot to say congratulations on the Seahawks going to the Superbowl.![]()
Yeah the Seahawks and Rams was a good game. Both teams were trading blows and were both playing at a really high level. I don’t think New England’s offense will be able to hang with them.woke up at 193 this morning, breaking the fast with eggs, protein shake, and will soon have my pile of rice and ground turkey/ground beef.

Its a really wild year to see our staple guys like Coach Carol, Tyler Locket, and DK Metcalf struggle in their new homes while Sam Darnold leaves MN after winning 14 last year to join the Hawks and go to the superbowl with our new coach Mike. crazy!Yeah the Seahawks and Rams was a good game.

What protein shakes are you using? With the new labs coming out about pea proteins being so high in lead, I’m searching for something new.woke up at 193 this morning, breaking the fast with eggs, protein shake, and will soon have my pile of rice and ground turkey/ground beef.

I am not sure what the brand is of what I grabbed, I probably supplement with protein shakes less than once a week on avg, I'm more likely to add a little to my coffee here and there. The last one I bought that I really liked was Ghost Oreo, and for a long time I kept stock on the muscle milk single servings since I could toss those in the gym bag. I have been told that they were one of the worst for mercury content, but according to this list I found they don't even rank:What protein shakes are you using?

193 post fast
Everything was heavy and SLOW today, which is to be expected but my last few Tuesdays post fast have been
So I opted to touch heavy on flat and pickup a little more volume on incline.
2 plate incline pr!
Thanks guys! I think the past while here of focusing on incline has definitely paid off, although I need to cut back and do a banded day on bench I think. none of the weights felt like they were beyond my reach by any stretch but I could not get anything to fire well and fast until I got to dips.Congrats on the incline PR….I know that felt good.![]()
thanks man, still hard to wrap my head around it when the past couple years I was hitting 300-305 on flat, 315-330 with slingshot, then I'm like WTF as I slide a 10lb plate on the outside of a 45lb plate on inclines and look around the gym hoping nobody sees2-plate incline is a classic PR, nice job
Truthfully I bet you were stronger on incline than you thought, especially knowing you have a 305 to 315 bench. It was probably more about practice and getting a feel for it, and improving your technique. I’m sure the muscles were already there and strong, but just had to specifically work that exercise. That HS Incline machine will help too, because it seems to work in a similar plane as when you do free weight inclines. And both those, the incline machine and the incline bench, will help drive your flat bench up even more. Who knows, you might be up over 325 to 330 on flat bench by the end of the year.thanks man, still hard to wrap my head around it when the past couple years I was hitting 300-305 on flat, 315-330 with slingshot, then I'm like WTF as I slide a 10lb plate on the outside of a 45lb plate on inclines and look around the gym hoping nobody sees![]()

I'm going to keep working this. It just feels important to be able to be repping 2 wheels here otherwise a 300lb bench seems silly for some reason.

Notes
Wanted to test some running on the knee. Last weekend we had a bowling date and the next two days my knee was $&@#! Which my wife pointed out is probably due to how much it twists with my amazing follow through. I gotta keep pushing the boundaries a bit and testing limits to see where it's at.
Wanted a lot more tricep work in session number one so followed up with more tonight. Elbows are very sore. Oh wow, listen to my own advice maybe? Like I've said for years... Here it is mid January, dry skin, sore hands and elbows and where's my fish oil? Oh yeah I haven't taken any in months.
My cardiovascular output seemed pretty on point despite 5 weeks of no hard conditioning.
Morning stack:
1 pump xpg dhea
Carnitine
1 300mg stanoplex
1 300mg epiandro preWO earlier put me at 600mg, no sides. At this point probably on pace for a good 8+ week run. Then maybe I'll hit a hard natty stackView attachment 258247
There's some level of foundation and mass established but man, I'm enjoying the newbie gains even though I feel like my incline was just crazy low proportionately. I had dodged it for most of my life because it felt wrong in the shoulder, but after a year of developing the rom I have no discomfort and I definitely think that adding incline bench has contributed bigly to the upper pec hypertrophy. I'll take anything I can get!Truthfully I bet you were stronger on incline than you thought, especially knowing you have a 305 to 315 bench.
