Yeah no weed for me on a cut. I'll eat everything and anything. I don't like it for lifting either. For some other sports, yeah sometimes. For playing and composing music it's a great enhancer.

You probably have your sroom dosing well tuned in, but I'd think the 'danger' of it for me example would be going for a walk like you said, taking a long trip walking to the moon and back thinking I burned a lot of calories only to find out I have been sitting still the whole time. Sitting on grass on top of a valley staring at a lone old tree in a field. And then again realising I'm looking at a picture of a tree on my phone, still sitting on my couch planning on going for a walk. Or something, lol

I mainly got interested as you mentioned psychedelics use and thought that I've never heard of anyone utilizing them for lifting before. But with all the microdosing and stuff people do these days I thought maybe you've found a way to enhance your lifting with them. Long walks in the nature with a propriate dose of srooms is fun times for sure = )
This is very dumb on my part but I've trained on full doses of a bunch of recreational drugs, just to see what happens.

Love it brother! I hear you. Getting mine snipped in a couple weeks - it’s still going to take 3 months after to clear the swimmers out, & I already miss my spot on Team Creampie!

Bro! That's too funny: "Team Creampie!" It would be funny to have some branded "Team Creampie" shirts and see people's reaction in public. I saw where Chris Duffin had a "I love to breed" t shirt on.

Did I misread at one point??
Are you not living in California or the states?? 🌞
I'm in East Tennessee.

It's not too bad temp wise in East Tennessee. The temps are getting down to 20s at night where I'm at. The wind is the real killer, our house is basically at the entrance of a valley so it's like a wind tunnel. That cool night air will whip across your face and make you think twice about heading back in to sit by the fireplace and drink something warm. But it's not bad really like I said above. Shoot, I did some work out in Kansas one winter, we were replacing barbed wire on this massive ranch, something to do with eminent domain or a land dispute and this rancher had to move his perimeter back like 200 yards. Problem is his ranch was something like 10,000 acres. I don't know all the deets because I was just a laborer helping with the job, but damn, we were out there for days in 10-20 degree weather, sun up to sun down. If you've every been to Kansas, that wind blows through there like nobody's business. It just kills you. I was colder there during that week than any of the times I spent in Alaska, my time in the Appalachia or any of the time I spent out in Scandinavia. We'd wrap up at sun down, take a hot shower, get some chow, take another hot shower, and drink whiskey like it was nobody's business.

General Notes: Pretty good workout today. Usually do bis after back and tris after chest but I’m going to take a week off of that and focus arms on arm day this week.

Feel stronger on the lat pull downs for sure, but barbell shrugs kept rubbing my frank and beans so I didn’t do my fourth planned set. Thinking maybe holding the bar behind my body/butt might solve that?

Oh yeah, think I got my Prami dose dialed in good. Took .2mg last night and sleep like a baby. Either that or I was just exhausted.

Maybe just use big azz dbs? That way you can utilize different grips and positions.

You can shrug them in the front, side, and a bit behind your waist for positions. Then you can use different grips also.

Main thing is protect the frank and beans!!!!

I have the same problem with barbell shrugs. For me a trap bar is best for shrugs, so try it if you have one in your gym. You could also try Smith machine if that is available. It easier to keep your frank a bit away from the bar with Smith machine. Or the dumbbells like mentioned.

I like the dbs for reasons mentioned above, and at the same time you can really work around the whole muscle group with different positions and grips. Get a good forearm pump too.

Take viagra, tuck your boner into your waistband, use a bar with smooth center/no center knurling, and now every shrug feels amazing. Problem solved...

Thanks for the tip, but theres no tucking it anywhere if I take viagra. Even the trap bar shrugs would be out of the question.

Doing things a little differently today... wifey has a big interview this morning so I slept in a bit to be able to take care of the kids when they woke up. Both daughters wanted some pancakes so we want to McDonalds and so I grabbed me a cold brew from Starbucks. I’m more of a Black Rifle Coffee guy, but we live in a small town so it’s either Panera or Starbucks for on-the-go coffee. Going to work legs tonight, and then start hitting cardio in the AM as of tomorrow and switch my lifts to night sessions. 9 more days to my next body scan so it’s tome to buckle down and adhere to the diet and training that has been set forth!

Have a great day people!

LOL! Too funny man! I actually played around with a little cialis at the very beginning of this log and that was my biggest fear, poping a wood while some fitness chick is doing her stiff legged deadlifts right next to me. Luckily, that never happened LOL!
Lol 😄

You said m"tip"! lol! I haven't taken viagra so I wouldn't know how that feels. Part of me wants to try it sometime and wear my silkie shorty running shirts and go to the grocery store and just pace around with a bone poking through.

You read my mind. Frottage that ****
Had to look this one up lol! Frottage: the act of obtaining sexual stimulation by rubbing against a person or object. So, the bench and squat rack count I imagine???

I ALMOST went that route, but with a newborn decided to pinch my pennies for what I actually need atm to cruise. Their HCG prices were unbeatable! And the BAC water was actually priced for real. Not this $20 rip-off crap some sites peddle.

You going to do 1cc/day?
Yes sir! I will stick for 1cc per day for the two bottles to see how things look and feel. I've read so much about injectable carnitine so I'm pumped to get this going. Also order two bottles of Amino Asylum's Pyro (Albuteol 2mg/Yohimbine 5 mg) so the plan is to shoot that in the morning pre fasted cardio along with some coffee to really shred some fat. And then in the evenings, dose 1cc of The Shredder along with my pre (Vasoblitz is on the way thanks to @BOSSMAN giving me a solid reco on that) along with 25 mg of carbs or so. really excited about this plan and will be providing updates in here.

Also, just discovered a greenway trailhead right by our house (just moved here two months ago) so at the very least I can take walks in the morning. So there's no excuse not to get this cardio in and shred the F up!

Whenever I'm done shredding and at a reasonable bodyfat, I'm going to try some of their other aminos such as the Monster Pump Blend. I'll keep you posted brother @Hyde

Thanks man, will consider the different positions and grips!

You got big traps already my man! You just keep doing what you're doing as it's clearly working!

I have heard (but never tried it) that injectable Y hits much harder mg for mg that oral, so be careful with that Pyro blend initially. Might start with 1/3 or 1/2cc to be safe, like with a new strong preWO. I can’t do Y, which is a shame because it’s an excellent fat loss aid. 2.5mg orally messes me up for hours. Works through the same pathway as Clen without the taurine depletion in the heart.

I know you kept wanting to increase the Trest dosage but couldn’t do to estro management issues - I have heard carnitine shines when you can’t or don’t want to increase the androgen dosage. Guys getting results around a gram or so nearly as good as some of their 2g past cycles. That may or may not be hype, but it does reportedly help you get more from less.

Morning Fasted Cardio - January 27, 2021

Wow! Just wrapped up 45 minutes of treadmill cardio totally fasted. Felt really good actually!

Probably didn’t hurt that I pinned 1cc of Amino Asylum’s “The Shredder” and .4cc of “Pyro” and chased that with a 8oz Sugar Free Red Bull!

This is all part of the plan to buckle down and shred as if I don’t keep up the cardio then I won’t get healthier and I won’t strip off this fat!

I have a really hard time with body image and have basically been in a permabulk my entire life. So I really appreciate all you guys giving me encouragement along the way. It really helps to know folks are rooting you on! I feel like this cut represents so much more than losing body fat and getting shredded. It’s about commitment to myself and my goals. It’s about learning to embrace the pain and discomfort, all in pursuit of a greater good.

Anyhow, y’all have a good day! I’ll check back in after I work legs tonight!

Holy smokes bro! I had hear that as well, so I injected .4cc before I hopped in my truck. Within 10 minutes, I was hot and hyped up! Holy smokes! For the first five minutes I thought “****, I’ve made a mistake!” But once I grabbed a Red Bull and hopped on the treadmill, I started converting from a jittery state to focused and positive. Also, I don’t know how much The Shredder played into that experience as well as so pinned 1cc of that. Tomorrow, I’m going to pin The Shredder before I leave my house and then pin Pyro right before I walk into the gym and that hot super fast. I’ll keep you posted as I got more experience and fasted cardio sessions under my belt!

As to carnitine, I’m hoping that’s the case. I sincerely feel that if I was at a lower body fat % I could up the Trest dose, we will see as I will definitely be doing another Trest run on down the road after I get leaner. I’m considering buying the Carnitine solution from AA as well, that way I don’t completely burn through The Shredder in a week lol. So maybe add a CC of straight carnitine before my lifting sessions. I’ll keep you posted on that as well sir!

You thought that you might of made a mistake with taking too much Y so you grabbed a Red Bull? 😆 Well I'm glad it worked out for you.

A side note; I rather enjoy your use of some of these 'old school' phrases like "holy smokes" and "like nobody's business" 😄

Ha! I know, my actions defy logic. I was so damn thirsty and that was all I had at the time! I'll probably back down the dose to .3ml tomorrow and keep The Shredder and the Red Bull the same and see how I feel. Hell, I'm still buzzing!

General Update: I was supposed to work legs last night, then start with the two a days today. Although I did cardio this morning, I did not get my evening weigh session in as my kids are sick and work bled into the evening as I wasn’t productive during the day while taking care of them.

I’m a little disappointed because I really wanted to keep consistent, but hey, I also acknowledge that life happens. I’m hoping to get back on the train in the morning and keep the log moving along at a good clip.

Have a good night!

Now, I'm still getting my legs under me, but sitting under 185 on squats felt pretty damned good. Moved up on weight or reps on pretty much every exercise minus leg curls. I dunno if its just me, but my calves are starting to looked pumped all the time. That's exciting as I always dreamt of not having to have the hashtag #birdlegs next to my name!

General Update: Started feeling like a bag of smashed assholes yesterday afternoon, like a cold or flu was coming on. I picked up some Vitamin D since I was fresh out and slammed 5,000 IU along with 2,000 mg of Vitamin C. I took a hot shower, laid down for a while and then took 100 mg of Zinc. Had no appetite so I went to bed. Woke up feeling better, but now I'm kinda snotty. I guess this is what my girls have had all week.

I am taking off work today as I feel like crap, and my wife feels like crap, and my kids feel like crap. I also feel flat lol. But I'll probably head to the gym in the afternoon to do some work and sit in the sauna.

Hope y'all have a good day and stay healthy!

Maybe just take the day off? Keep taking your meds that your taking just rest for the day.
Sauna does sound good though. Maybe add in some chicken broth and magnesium if possible. I would do all the above and just rest for the day, especially if you missed work that tells me you feel like sh1t.
Hit the sauna and try to get back at it tomorrow

Had no appetite so I went to bed. Woke up feeling better, but now I'm kinda snotty. I guess this is what my girls have had all week.

I am taking off work today as I feel like crap, and my wife feels like crap, and my kids feel like crap. I also feel flat lol. But I'll probably head to the gym in the afternoon to do some work and sit in the sauna.

Hope y'all have a good day and stay healthy!
Feel better, Swede! Rest up! I was feeling like **** yesterday also! 🥺

Notes: Well, I ended up doing chest today! I appreciate all the well wishes, I guess I got a little restless and my wife took the girls to Grammy’s to hang out so I hit the gym. Felt really rough on bench, probably cause I didn’t eat a tone this morning, but things even out during the workout. Pump wasn’t there entirely but it felt good to do some work.

Immediately after the gym I headed to look at a storefront... thinking about opening a supplement and nutrition store. I told @ZOO I’d like his product in my shop if we do this, so we are getting close man!

So much to think about, so many decisions, but it’s certainly a doable business model if you hustle and the marketing is good.

Hope y’all have a good night!

Wow that’s some exciting stuff - be sure in your decisions, so you will be ready for the highs & the lows! Having realistic expectations and a thought-out plan go a long way towards a solid foundation.

Thanks man! It’s nerve wracking for sure! We will be going over our budget projections today to see if it makes sense from a economy standpoint. The only real challenge in my way at this point is who will watch the kids from 2 to 5-6 as my wife will most likely be getting another job that will require her to be in the office, and I plan on closing the shop at 7 pm.

Notes: good workout today, felt strong and had a solid pump. Looking veiny too with all that Vaso 6 coursing through my blood!

One thing that’s odd, seems like my lat pull downs keep getting better every workout, but I keep stalling on those high hammer rows. Maybe putting those as the beginning of my next back workout to shake things up.

Going to spend the day sanding some furniture for the wifey, maybe stain it too if I don’t get sidetracked. Other than, trying to stay inside so we can get our girls well.

Y’all have a good day!
