DAY 28

Delt shot today.

Chest day was fantastic today, breaking all my records for weight.

Just gotta buckle down and do it! I read somewhere that casein leaves you feeling less satiated than other forms of protein... maybe try adding extra casein throughout the day?

Sorry I havent replied brutha, but I'll touch on this quickly.

Getting the ambien wont be a problem. Tell your dr your stressed cant sleep at all etc, bang you got it.

the chemical in turkey L-tryptophan, is not a new drug, they have been using that for sleep for a while I believe. Stay AWAY from benadryl or any of those "PM" medecines that knock you out, they linger in me till about the 15'th hour, I feel like I was shot with a horse tranquilizer.

with a barbell i do my heaviest sets with 255-275.

i had a nagging shoulder injury when i was doing heavy freeweight dumbbell millitary press that seemed to be hindering me under the bar.

Since swapping over to dumbbells the pain has gone away and i feel much better pressing.

40+ a week. 215-1045.

its tough because i have a hard time sleeping and i have just enough time in the morning to make food and hit the gym before my shift starts.

**Amorphic** · 06-20-2008, 12:56 AM

Day 31

off day today. trying to eat a lot more still. im cooking my food for work when i get home at night to have ready to go for the morning.

weight is around 218-219

i have had a few people say that my face looks puffy but overall water retention and bloat is low.

**Amorphic** · 06-20-2008, 01:59 PM

DAY 32

Started my shoulder/tri workout and got about half way through before i had to stop due to the pain in my left forearm/elbow.

i hurt it somehow the other day and its been getting worse and worse. i could hardly grip a dumbbell by the end of my session today.

got 80s up on dumbbell military press though and it was nice.

taking the next 2 days off to make sure my arm doesnt get any worse.

**Blackster1975** · 06-20-2008, 02:43 PM

Good luck with your cycle Amorphic, was really unlucky what happened with your first batch of gear, but sounds like you got really good stuff now. I sometimes get the type of pain your talking about in my right elbow/forearm i think mine is tendon related. Hope you get your sleep patterns in check soon bro and good luck for the rest of your cycle and i hope it go's to plan and you hit your goals.

I work 8-5 during the week and the drive is 90mins each way....what I have found is coming straight home and making your meals for the next day helps the most...If you cook em at night you'll have less tendency to **** around after work ends..and all your food will be ready in the morning..

Works well..try it. I used to make it before work..and days I would come home and wanna go out and stuff would make it tougher to get up in time the next mornin to make meals..less hassle

DAY 33

quad shot today. took it easy again to make sure my arm doesnt get any worse. I'll be back at the gym monday for back and bi's.

overall i feel like the size is slowly coming on now, strength is sky high as all the weights i use are all over my personal bests.

**rodgerj** · 06-21-2008, 11:26 PM

Can't believe I missed this thread in the beginning! what a ****ing roller coaster read

to bad about that bunk shit in the beginning. You are doing better then I did with my first cycle. Shows what the right preparation does. Subscribed. And a UGL that does human grade? holy shit!! I get great service in Canada but it ain't Human Grade.... Jesus....

**Amorphic** · 06-22-2008, 01:20 AM

Well, i just checked my weight a moment ago out of curiousity.....

225 pounds

I am stunned.

the improvement in my diet is massively paying off.

+15 pounds in roughly a month....Cant wait to see how much better this gets.

**10nispro** · 06-22-2008, 09:51 PM

Was thinking of getting my next cycle, but now, I am rethinking about doing your cycle because of the strength.

I still am not convinced because of the sleep issue. Any other issues? shoot me a pm.

the only issue ive had for negative sides has been the insomnia.

i have a touch of acne on my biceps but thats it, besides the usual mild bacne.

i havent tried getting ambien yet but im assuming if you had it you wouldnt have any issues with this cycle at all.

i'd definetly recommend you run it and see.

**Amorphic** · 06-22-2008, 10:05 PM

DAY 34

Off day again today, still trying my hardest to eat as much as i can while keeping the macros in check.

Arm pain is still very bad, im a little worried. Ibuprofen is keeping it from really hurting though.

Back and Bis tomorrow, hopefully no tendon or ligament problems are the causal factor for my joint pain.

**Schuldiner** · 06-23-2008, 02:19 AM

Things sounds better this time.
Keep it up! Good luck

**Amorphic** · 06-23-2008, 10:10 PM

DAY 35

Good day at the gym today. Worked back and bi's but took it somewhat easy on my biceps as i dont want to irritate the possible injury.

Weight is a touch over 220.

**10nispro** · 06-23-2008, 11:13 PM

Hey bro, sounds like you have tendinitis, similar to tennis elbow, but more related to over use syndrome. Or you could look at the fact your tendons are not quite keeping up with the growth in strength.

R.I.C.E. Rest Ice Compression Elevation

yeah i need to be careful from here on out, the last thing i need is an injury hindering my gains.

**T_Own** · 06-24-2008, 04:06 PM

sounds like a good second time around. pretty good gains even if they started a little slowly.

make sure take care of that arm, RICE is the way to go, nice and simple stuff. ibuprofen can't hurt either, a 1-3 doses of 400mgs ed helps a lot, not just for pain but as an anti-inflammatory. don't worry about taking too much (~1000mgs ed max)

yep i made the mistake of not taking ibuprofen today before my chest workout and i am in absolutely excrutiating pain right now

**Amorphic** · 06-24-2008, 06:13 PM

DAY 36

Worked chest and traps today.

Definitely the fullest i have ever seen my chest ever. Strength is still higher than ive ever felt before.

I had to cut my workout a few sets short due to the pain in my left arm. Grip got weak again and a deep depp pain from my shoulder all the way down to my fingers hit me hard.

Ibuprofin is helping as well as blasting my arm in the shower with the cold water on.

My shoulders also seem to be responding very well, they look extremely full and pumped whenever im at the gym.

**doolo** · 06-24-2008, 09:55 PM

Maybe check out some physio stretches and exercises for that shoulder/arm, try to get it in check before your forced to take time off. Icing till its numb after workouts would be good too.

**T_Own** · 06-24-2008, 11:01 PM

yeah, ice is your best friend with an injury like that. they say the first 72 hours is the most important, as thats when the majority of the swelling/disruption continues. after that, it won't do as much to heal, but still alleviates the pain and discomfort very well. but assuming you continue to work the area, you might be reaggravating it all the time, so ice could actually still be very effective.

i don't know how familiar you are with little injuries like this, but from 14 years of year-round sports, you learn some stuff. if you can handle it, an ice bath would be the best after a workout, not your whole body, but the area that hurts (the arm), then going 20 minutes ice, 20 minutes off for a while. usually i give up after an hour..

ibuprofen helps a lot before working out, as it will thin your blood and lower the swelling in the area (if any)

**ironaddict69** · 06-25-2008, 02:46 AM

Interesting man, My whole reason I started deca as an HRT addition was because my left elbow was so bad, I couldn't even squat, or lateral raise the 15 lb dumbbells it hurt so badly. Now on only 100 mg a week, it is gone. I am wondering if we have the same thing or not...Good luck, I would have been ****ed if mine didnt get fixed so easily from just a needle.

i had a shoulder injury prior to starting my cycle and when i started the pain went away. i couldnt do dumbbell military press at all because it hurt so bad but now i can do 80s on each arm comfortably.

my left arm has always had issues in the tendons on the inside of my elbow into my forearm. my left bi is much weaker than my right and i always had a minor pain doing curls and whatnot but that went away as well.

the new pain is much more of a tendon pain im thinking and maybe even a slight tear, so its not something the npp can magically make disappear.

but yeah, nandrolone is nice on the joints for sure.

**Amorphic** · 06-25-2008, 03:07 AM

oh and ironaddict, i hope you've heard the new slipknot song 'all hope is gone,' dammmnnn man its so good.

new album in august!

**ironaddict69** · 06-25-2008, 11:40 AM

Damn I am sorry to hear about that, but congrats on all the other shit going away. And yes, all hope is gone kicks ass. Not quite their original style for my taste, but the other songs on the albumI know will be disgusting! Cant wait to see them this summer.

**Amorphic** · 06-26-2008, 12:32 AM

DAY 37

off day today. legs and traps tomorrow. arm was hurting at work so im trying to be careful and am taking ibuprofin throughout the day to keep the pain down.

i feel thick as hell overall, its pretty nice.
