Timber's Epi Smash

Damn... Powerlifting is something I never want to get involved in. :lol:

I don't like the BB snatch all too much. DB or Kettleballs for the win.

My old math teach broke his wrists snatching 405lbs. Dude was a gorilla; I don't mean any racist disrespect by that, but seriously, he was a monstrous black dude...Ex-SF...A few years ago I heard he had a heart attack. I'm curious how he's doing as far as size, weight lifting, etc. The guy had to be on gear back when he was teaching me.

Teachers on gear, awesome.
 
I remember this time some dude made some racist comment behind his back, but Mr. Ex-Spec Ops had insane hearing, and he got PISSED! He basically said to the dude, "I don't give a sH*t about this job, and I don't mind going to prison, so I will gladly take you outside and beat the living hell out of you if you say something like that again." lol
 
haha holy crap!

Funny... Ergopharm is getting sued by a MLB player.

News: Suspended Phillies reliever J.C. Romero has filed suit against a nutritional supplement manufacturer alleging an unlisted ingredient in one of its products caused him to test positive for a substance banned by Major League Baseball. Romero, suspended for the first 50 games of the 2009 season, says he tested positive for steroids last August because a supplement he was taking, 6-OXO Extreme, did not specify it included androstenedione, a banned substance. He filed suit Monday in Camden County, N.J. seeking punitive and compensatory damages. Romero also named as defendants the corporate owners of two nutritional stores where he purchased 6-OXO Extreme, alleging sales clerks assured him it would not cause a positive test for a banned substance.

Yea i remember reading when he got suspended last year. Appealed and got to play the rest of the year.

Wonder if he is opening a can of worms. Was he in PCT of a PH cycle...who knows only him. They will ask questions. He is seeking like 1.4 million i think
 
We would have to all call it TC...cause calling it Teh Clear would get annoying :D
 
Irish Cannon said:
Does it actually contain that?
Click to expand...

Nope, unless maybe his batch did? In which case, I hope his ass saved a pill - because how are you going to prove that. I bet he was finishing a PCT and got nailed.

6-OXO (as 4-Etioallocholen-3,6, 17-Trione) 300mg
Quercetin 600mg
Resveratrol 50% 1200mg
Piperine (Black Pepper Extract) 20mg
Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate) 4mg
 
Also, what was a MLB player doing taking advice from some douchebag hack at a GNC anyway? I mean c'mon. You're a professional athlete. Ask someone who knows something?!??!
 
Didn't he say it was an unlisted ingredient?...as you said, he better have saved a pill if that's true, and if not, he's going to be made a douche for attempting to make Ergopharm a scapegoat.

Yeah, he tested positive for androstenedione - which is an unlisted ingredient.
 
Funny thing is, androstenedione is a testosterone precursor that I THINK is an ingredient in Ergopharm's 11-oxo... Could have been a production mistake, but without saving a pill - there's not much he can do about it.

Guess they could always buy up a bunch of 6-oxo Extreme and have it tested at an independant lab. I would think his lawyers have something concrete to bring to court.
 
Ergo needs to put one of those disclaimers on the bottle: "This product was manufactured on the same machinery as 11-OXO and may contain some Androstenedione"
And yes, you would think his attorneys have some kind of a case to argue
And also...this guy doesn't have a professional trainer advising him??
 
I don't want to say at what either....
 
He obviously has access to training staff due to his affilliation to a professional baseball team.

Good breakdown of MLB banned substances here:

MLB also has a hotline you can call and ask for advice on supplements.

My cousin who is in the minors has the same system in place.
 
Back (Day 4)

I usually bring my blackberry along for the workout and type out as I go. Didn't do that today, so I'm just reciting this from memory. Workout was a little unconventional since my workout buddy was about 45 minutes late and we re-did some pullups. :twisted:

Pullups
About 30, close grip today.

Bent BB Row
12*135, 12*185, 10*185, 10*135

Deadlift
12*225, 10*315, 8*315, 15*225
Yes, its light... I know you guys are used to seeing 400+ here, but I'm focusing on SLOW reps, and perfecting my form. I think my days of 400 are behind me, just not worth it in my opinion.

Dual Pulley Lat Pulldown
12*130, 10*150, 12*110

Face Pulls
15*80, 12*95, 10*110, 8*110, 12*80

DB Row
10*75, 9*85, 8*85

Bench Crunches

2 Miles
1.5 Miles @ 7.8 mph
0.5 miles @ 12.5 mph

Left work a little early today and fell asleep on the couch. Was tough getting my wits back about me. Found 2 RPM in the cupboard and took those with some Diet Dew - got me going enough to get to the gym. Once I got there I was fine.

I really enjoy running sometimes... Like I feel good afterwards, but I've been listening to this song for my last half mile for a couple weeks now, and it gives me the biggest runners high I've ever had. Euphoria - hard to explain. Feel like I want to go another couple miles, but alas - its time to get large :nono: I usually don't get down with sappy Rocky music - must be the Russian in me. Dolph Lundgren was the sh*t.

i remember when that came out. the feds raided ergopharm because of PA's prior. since he's not in jail right now, we can only assume they found nothing illegal in 6-OXO. given that PA has been in trouble at the beginning of his career when he accidentally tainted "the clear" with trenbolone, i doubt he'd be stupid enough to make the same mistake again. especially with a prior and the feds always breathing down his neck.

i think romero just wanted a scapegoat, and PA sounded like the easy person to blame. IMO.
 
Dang TL i wanted to see for 400+ DLs :( hahaha I understand were your coming from tho. Form and getting the most outta lower weight is the way to go, but sure fun to lift heavy heavy sometimes ;) Im diggin the Face Pulls and the Crunchs at the end! Those always burn! Im not sure if you said it befor if so sorry, but can i ask what are your rest times and do you try to get done in under a certain time limit??

Rest times really depend on the exercise. I'd say they vary from 30 seconds (something like facepulls) to 3 minutes (deadlifts or incline presses)... I like to give enough time for the muscles to recover for another big set, but also short enough to keep the heart rate up.

Ahhhh Ok! I wasnt sure if you were on a strict time limit that you wanted for "optimal results" or for other reasons. Thank You for the explaination bradda!

I'm not nearly as scientific as some of the guys on this board. I just move stuff until it hurts and eat and hope for the best.
 
14 is a bit long. Longest I've seen is 10 I believe.

Also, I being the 5th day, I believe its time to amp up the PreWO dosage to 20mg for a total of 30mg ED.

im gona start my 14 week p-plex/epi pulse next week.:lick:
Click to expand...

14 weeks, even on a pulse (which I highly do not recommend) is too long. 10 weeks for that particular method is the longest I would run it. To be honest with you, the gains will not be mind-blowing with an Epistane pulse. A straight cycle, or even a bridge cycle would benefit you more so, in my opinion. Why did you decide on using 17a-Methyl-etioallocholan-2-ene-17b-ol (Phera Plex) in the first place? Too many reports of rebound with that compound lately. I ran the first batch of Phera when it first hit the market; however, those whom have used both the original and the cloned version say that they experienced more unwanted sides with the cloned version. Food for thought.
I personally would run a 1-Tren/Epistane combo for a straight 5-6 weeks. But that’s just me. ;)

I have definitely noticed more people complaining of sides from the PP clones. I used the original Phera-Plex from AX, and that stuff was great and I had zero sides; I'm a little skurd to run a clone, though. Too many issues that I've seen with it.

I ran P-Plex along with Tren for my cycle. I gained 5lbs week 1 with Tren alone, 4lbs with Tren and P-Plex during week 2 and then only gained 3 more lbs the remaining 3 weeks so I am not real sure about P-Plex.
 
I bet you'll notice the difference pretty quickly when you up to 30mg!

prepare for an aggressive workout!!!
 
and even more at 40mg!
