Well, when i first got to the gym I was feeling pretty sluggish. I drank a few beers last night, so this was probably the case. I dosed LD around 1310 and went to the gym around 1415. About 20 mins in, my energy picked up....... Right around half way through BB rows. Felt a good euphoric rush. Thinking maybe 2 hours is a good saturation time for the LD. I well keep an eye on this throughout the cycle. If it is the case of 2 hours being the sweet spot, I will dose 2 hours before workout.
Overall badass day at the gym. I honestly felt great recovery between sets and good strength. I had to stop cause my hands were killing me. I thought the skin on palms was gonna tear off. This could be a placebo effect, as I doubt the LD would set in that fast. I will administer the second dose around 2000 tonight.

Comments:
I normally dont do 2 "push" days in a row, but since i didnt have much time i had to do shoulders yesterday. I got a good warmup and started off on the bench. I usally do 5x5 with 215, but through the first set, i felt so good that i up'ed it. So i added 5 lbs every set. I beasted the bench today........well except for the last set, where i failed at 4 and had my spot rack it. I usually do pin lockouts after bench, but i sucked today. I guess i put out so much on flat bench, i burned myself out a bit. I only got through one set of 3 lockouts. Pretty mediocre. Besides that i felt a good pump and intensity, and i think it is only getting better.
the crying baby i have now is #3, it doesn't get better with more kids![]()

Ok. For the sake of not writing a small novel, I'll just input cycle comments instead of listing each individual workout.
So over the last week, I've had solid strength gains. Workouts have been the same routine with a conservative 7-10 lbs gain. Aggressiveness is off the charts.... Like nasty.
Everything else is falling in line.......except for the shitty week i had

I did shoulders yesterday. Workout went well, but nothing spectacular. My BP has been pretty high for the last week. Stress could have played a part in it, but the LD did slightly raise my BP by 7-10.
Recovery has been getting better as the cycle progresses. I had a PR day ,the day before, on chest and no soreness.
