Days 15 through 21:

Injections:

Day	Compounds	Spots	CC's
Day 15	Primo + Test E + Tren E + B12	Right Quad + SubQ(test)	6
Day 16	B12	Left Forearm	1
Day 17	Primo + B12	Right Glute (2 pins)	4
Day 18	Test E + Tren E + B12	Right Lat + SubQ(test)	3
Day 19	Primo + B12	Right Delt + Left Delt	4
Day 20	B12	Right Trap	1
Day 21	Primo + B12	Right Pec + Left Lat	4

Notes: 23 CC's in total this week. Still getting used to the glutes. Still have a hard time keeping a steady hand back there but it's certainly needed at this stage. This is similar to the first week. Heavy load on day 15 but otherwise, everything went pretty darn smooth.


Injection Spot Changes:

1. Subcutaneous injections for Test Enanthate started on Monday (day 15). All in belly fat. I've been contemplating this method for a while now. With so many injections lately, it's made my decision process a whole lot easier. I'm using a 1/2 inch pin and pinning 1/2 CC twice into belly fat on Mondays and Thursdays. Discomfort-Free injections. Super easy and I look forward to seeing blood work.


Injection Complications:

1. Hit a nerve in the left quad. Not really a complication but enough to report. I just pulled back a bit and injected.
2. Unsteady hand while injecting in the glute caused a typical flare up. Went away in 2 days.


Side Effects:

1. Nightmares * NEW! *: I remember the Tren nightmares. They used to be (for me) simple nightmares, like running away from someone with a gun for example. This time around, it's a lot worse! Last night for example, I dreamt that I was at a birthday party with a bunch of kids. Some girl was talking to me the entire time. I remember she was SUPER HOT! But her voice was VERY annoying. I kept trying to end the conversation but she would not shut up. So I ask her to come with me. I go to backyard with her. We head over behind a tool shed of some sort. I wrapped a garden hose around her neck and killed her. Pretty Fvcked up, huh? So I drop her on the ground and turn around to walk away and the entire party visitors including all the kids were all standing there looking at me. All I could think of at that point is what the hell did I just do? My life is over... and I woke up. FVCK THAT!

2. Night Sweats: Night sweats are on as always with Tren. Pretty annoying and ridiculous. I just can't seem to get used to it. My level of aggravation has increased and it's all due to the night sweats. I wake up slightly from the discomfort of the wetness. For 5 second I lay there thinking... "F%$#! Again?!!" - Then I get up, pull the sheets off, throw them in the washer and hit the shower. I try everything I can do to go back to sleep to no avail. Forget about it at this point. Around 4 in the afternoon I begin to get tired and sleepy, and THAT pisses me off because I work out at night. Just a big cluster.

3. Insomnia: Again, same as last week. Insomnia has been hanging out with me for a while now.

4. Headaches: Surprisingly, headaches have come down to a minimum. I have NO idea how or why. Last week I attributed it to lack of sleep, which still exists, but the headaches are no longer severe and they only came around twice this week. Typically later in the evening.


Diet & Nutrition:

As you recall, last week I changed my diet completely to accommodate a new TDEE calculation. Well, I can tell you that so far so good! I think I have it finally figured out because I certainly feel better during the day. Until I crash in the afternoon that is. But overall feeling healthy, less bloat and much more energetic during the morning hours. Diet affects everything, folks. I was miserable the first week because I am so used to waking up and feeling lean. That certainly wasn't the case with the initial diet. Now, although I have gained 1% body fat, I am still waking up and feeling much better. It's the dang bloat that makes me irritable.

Ok, as I stated previously I will list what I ate the day prior to my update instead of listing an entire week's worth of food. So here we go, yesterdays eatings listed below:

Yesterday's eatings...

Meal	Food	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Fats
#1	Egg whites/cheese/Ezekiel Bread/Banana	430	39	37	7
#2	Apple+steamed broccoli & lean beef	322	21	31	12
#3	Turkey Burgers w/brown rice wrapped in lettuce	233	29	30	12
#4	Spinach/Boiled Eggs, Almonds, Chicken salad	390	39	22	6
#5	Brown Rice cake with Almond butter	235	8	12	16
#6	Brown Rice, chopped asparagus, chicken	553	43	48	4
#7	Cobb salad with Turkey chunks	595	38	16	9
#8	Tuna, boiled egg whites, vodka sauce (love this!)	404	39	18	15
	Totals:	3162	256	214	81

Water Intake: No change. 1 Gallon of spring water and 3 liters of diet green tea.

Cheat Day: Today was cheat day and I had a Mac and Cheese burger with bacon and fries. For dessert, I indulged in a delicious slice of chocolate tuxedo cheesecake. What a meal! Seriously it's like heaven.


Supplement Updates:

1. Dropped 5-HTP. Worthless compound, no effect whatsoever.
2. I had my Nitric Oxide levels tested and low and behold... NOTHING! It was so low, the strip didn't even change color. So I added NEO 40. This has to be one of the best Nitric Oxide formula's I've ever taken. These are lozenges and they don't taste bad at all! I take it twice daily on an empty stomach. Always 30 minutes before workout. Loving the pumps and vascularity! Pictured below:



Product details can be found here: https://secure.neogenis.com/neo-40-daily.html

No other changes to report.

I was going to list the brands of all the supplements I'm taking, but I figured I'd take photo and post it. This is everything that is out of the safe, so it's missing a couple...




Supplement Side Effects:

1. Strange Bowel Movements: Since I made the changes in my supplements last week, stool has softened drastically. (Sorry for the shitty topic) -- I can't seem to narrow this down at all. The only real changes were increases in Magnesium, Vitamin E and DHEA. So now I will begin the elimination process, which actually already started by dropping 5-HTP. I'm going to bring Magnesium back down to 500mg for a week, if that doesn't resolve the issue, onto Vitamin E.

Spoe to Atomini to get his opinion on this, he suspected that I might be getting rid of excess supplements that are not being utilized, such as too much Vitamin C for example. Makes sense. But of course the elimination process should help here...


Morning Weigh Ins:

All weigh ins occurred first thing in the morning after waking up and using the restroom. Because of the night sweats and insomnia, the timing varied quite a bit. These were all taken anywhere from 3am to 7am.

Day 15	206 lbs
Day 16	208 lbs
Day 17	207 lbs
Day 18	208 lbs
Day 19	209 lbs
Day 20	209 lbs
Day 21	209 lbs

I'm very happy with the progress here. Slower gains are much better. I suspect I will wake up at 208 again tomorrow morning.


Workout Routine Possible Changes:

I'm considering switching to stpete's 3:1 workout protocol. I believe Times Roman has adopted this as well recently. Although stpete changed his workout routine recently, I'm going to HIGHLY consider the 3:1. My main concern here is legs. I hit legs on the 4th day right now, and then I'm off. So really body parts get hit only once every 6 days. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think it could be better. Plus I could use the rest a bit earlier. That and my legs need more work. So with this new protocol I will be able to work body parts once every 5 days instead of 6.

I'm going to make this decision tonight, and if this is the route I will take then I will start it tomorrow. Although I'm not dead set on the actual body parts worked out per day, the new routine will look something like this...

Day 1	Chest | Triceps | Delts
Day 2	Back | Biceps | Shoulders | Traps
Day 3	Legs | Calves | Abs
Day 4	OFF

Rinse and repeat.....


Final Thoughts:

So last week I didn't really consider my strength gains to be gear related. Quite honestly, I am able to lift a bit heavier but I still don't think it's the gear. I've always been quite the slow responder. Even on TRT, my dosing protocol was increased several times to get to where I needed to be. Luckily I'm a pretty patient guy and I know when these compounds will kick in for me. Hopefully quite amplified this time considering I've never run the combination before. So the upcoming weeks should be quite interesting to say the least.

My day to day attitude has been pretty good. I'm still the happy guy at work. As a matter of fact, aside from my super early morning irritability from the night sweats, I feel great throughout the day.

Still feeling hungry at all times. I blame B12. But I need it so I will continue to inject it. It was certainly a lot easier to stay full at my previous 4500 calorie diet. At 3000 per day, I sometimes go to bed hungry But it's all good. It's all about results, right? It's a lifestyle thing. Not much you can do about that, but I think the length of this cycle will develop a great deal of discipline and consistency for me, resulting in a satisfactory diet without the hunger.

Man I can't wait for Mast time! Almost more excited about it than Primo. lol. It's like Primo x2 with the 2 compounds. Looking forward to being marbleized and seeing a spider web on my chest. Around week 5 or 6 I typically begin to get a nice tan on tren. Which I love because it somewhat blends my into my pigmentation.

I've been VERY cautious not to injure my shoulder. Even at the hotel this weekend, I made sure I untuck the bed sheets slowly and with both hands. lol. My shoulder seem to be getting more and more susceptible to injury the older I get. It's a good thing though, keeps me alert and maintains my progress. I will however, be stretching a bit longer before workouts and exercising the shoulder with light weights prior to heavy lifting. Don't want to hear that nasty popping sound again!

The broad that's been helping me cook my meals will be out of town for a few days. So poor me, I will have to make my own food. This should be fun! I really don't mind as I am taking the next couple of days off. I've been lurking the hell out of the Recipe forum in the nutrition section. Might have to get gbrice involved here! Also looking up tons of recipes online. So I'll be hitting up whole foods tomorrow morning for some grocery shopping. And OMG I'm out of Almond butter. Kill me now! A tablespoon of that usually holds me over when I'm starving 20 minutes after a meal. lol.

I plan on getting some blood work done around 10 weeks into the cycle. This will be quite interesting to see considering the new subQ injections of test. You know... After my first injection I thought to myself... why the heck have I not been doing this all along?? Anyways, of course I will update with that blood work once it comes around. I'll be getting a full panel. Including a sensitive E2 assay, of course.

Well, that does it for this week's update. Again, thank you all for the kind words, following this log and all the support you've provided.

If youre ever out of work i think you'd make an fantastic interior designer. Everything is so color co-ordinated, include the member's names! lol

Once again, excellent update Aust! And i agree with you, slower gains are much better. I believe the muscle is more dense when developed slower. I have no evidence of this however, just my personal opinion.

Love the description of the dream....Either two things..You're watching to much Forensic Files before you go to sleep or we have a convicted felon with a guilty conscious...Ha ha

[calstate23]

Day 1	Chest | Triceps | Delts
Day 2	Back | Biceps | Shoulders | Traps
Day 3	Legs | Calves | Abs
Day 4	OFF

Rinse and repeat.....

lmao. maybe it's the walking dead!

You're going to hit shoulders back to back??

No. I still haven't decided what to do yet. 3:1 is too long of a day for me. Not sure why I put delts in with chest. Abs most likely and leave legs for their own day. I have a feeling I will try this and quickly go back to my old routine. Can't lift that long like I did when I was in my 20's!

[Buster Brown]

Nice job as usual, such the overachiever! Do you always space your chest and shoulders workouts a day apart? My shoulders would have no part of that and I now have to stick back day in between chest and shoulders.

Thanks BB. No, I normally do chest/shoulders/back/Legs/OFF - But I do space them out when I'm off cycle.
