My Diary. Clen+ECA+DNP.

[Mealticket]

. I asked this question in the Steroid question section and no one could tell me why it would be harmfull for me to take an ECA while on Clen.

Starting out on clen and eca untill my DNP gets here. Should be here in 7-10 days. I'll then drop the clen but stay on the eca.
I've been training for 4 1/2 yrs and have never done a cycle.

I did an 8 day test run on Clen and got off it 8 days prior to starting this cycle. Felt jittery but ABSOLUTLY NO THERMO EFFECTS FROM IT.

I'm pursuing a professional athletic career in my sport and need to drop fat to be faster. Upper body muscle needs to be kept moderate but i can build as big a pair of wheels as i possibly can.

I workout for my sport on average of about 1 1/2 2 hrs a day. Lift on average 3/4- 1 1/4 hours a day. I have one day off from my sport usually on Mondays and off from the gym usually on sundays. I'm professinally coached by what some would say is the top coaching company in the world. I train w/ a h/r monitor that i'm able to d/l to my puter for post workout analysis. I'll try to log as much info as possible. ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENT ARE APPRECIATED.

Why are you spacing only 2 1/2 hours between your ECA doses. You should give at least 5-6 hours between doses...

c'mon bro. Look at the history. That was the ONLY day i had it taht close, and that was because of work. And 5-6 hours like you said is too close, if i want to get any sleep. The 1/2 life of ephedra is only 3 hrs!!

Gym felt o.k. today. Much better than i was ecpecting to feel. Had less energy than normal obviuosly but nothing to shake a stick @. Sport was kind of tireing. Felt o.k. when my h/r was oin the 165-170 range. Anything above that and my body just couldn't supply me w/ the energy i needed. I slept o.k. last night. Went to Appelbee's. Drank 5 glasses of water in 45 minutes. I had boneless chicken wings. I seriously felt like a fat guy eating chicken wings, the way i was beading up sweat and huffing and puffing while i was eating. My resperation is up alot. It's also much harder to breath after i eat. I guess less room for the lungs to expand. Tossed and turned a bit but not bad in relation to the whore stories i've heard. Room temp was in lower 50's w/a tornado fan on my head. (refer to next nights sleep)


Day 15
Holy f-ing chit. Mother of GEEEEZZZZZZ-US. I sweat my ass off last night. Worst night of sleep i've had in a year. No joke. Every 15-25 minutes i had to switch out pillows 'casue the one i was lieing on was soaked!. WTF was i thinking taking my last dose yesterday as late as i did. LESSON LEARNED!! Learn from ME. Take last dose WAYYYYY earlier than i did.

Now that i knew what to expect because of the sweating @ night i went better this evening. Taking the dose earlier deffinately helped out.
If i don't have air constantly blowing on me i'll bead up sweat in under 4 minutes. I mean bead up as in it's rolling off the top of my forhead. I go to take a piss in the bathroom w no fan and come back 30 seconds later and i'm allready sweating. It's not bad sitting or lying down to watch t.v. You can slightly move your head or legs every couple minutes and not really get uncomfortable at all. It's @ night when you lay motionless for 15-20 minutes that i soak whatever i'm lying on. Sport and gym are off today. I'm just to busy. NOt really lathargic though.

Gym 1pm 50 minutes. ave h/r 119. Sweating like a whore in church boys!!!! Yeah baby. Heavy leg day. I tried the less weight fewer reps regimen like a bunch of people have said to do and i didn't like it. If i had 60 lbs or 180 lbs on the leg extension machine i couldn't get it past 6 reps. It wasn't a matter of the weight i was pushing it was the reps i was doing. SO i go 80% a s heavy as normal on the single leg press, leg extension, and seated leg curl and am getting ready to call it a day. Don't want to overdue it! So i go get my bag (which is by my favorite piece of equiptment and debate for 2-3 minutes whether or not to hit the rack. So wtf, lets see what happens. So i load up 2 plates on each side and get ready to pop it up and decide, WTF. Lets go 3 plates on each side. (about 90% of what i normally rep for 4 sets of 6). I get under it and BOOM! I pop up first set of 5 like grandpa on Cialis. Felt good. @nd set Boom! pop it up again, 5 rep is a little harder than normal. 3rd set. Not such a big boom!. I barley get up my 4th and 5th rep, but i still get it up!. My consensus is that this DNP affects more so my abilitly to do high reps than it does my ability to rep higher weight @ lower reps. So i walk out of the gym feeling pretty darn good about throwing up that much weight @ the end of my workout while on DNP. \
Oh YEAH!! Weighd myself today and i'm up 5lbs! Up to 216, must have a lot of water on.
Sleep: Taking the Dnp wayyyy earlier than the fitst day helped out more than i can stress in this sentence. It seemed as though after 12 hrs passed the first night i was able to sleep for 2 hrs straight. Same dilly THE NEXT DAY. aFTER ABOUT 2:AM I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP CONSTANTLLY FOR MORE THAN 2 HRS. I'm going to take my last dose about the same time tomorrow and see what happens.

Hope this journal is helping some of ya'll out. I'll post up tomorrow after my gym workout!

I'm following this bro..just because I'm not piping in doesn't mean I'm not looking.

Keep up the great job bro.

c'mon bro. Look at the history. That was the ONLY day i had it taht close, and that was because of work. And 5-6 hours like you said is too close, if i want to get any sleep. The 1/2 life of ephedra is only 3 hrs!!

Ahh didn't see that. Also, the halflife isn't 3 hours. It is around 4-4 1/2. You space it out every 6 hours for good platelet aggregation. Anyways, good luck with it! I'll be watching.

Day 17.
Came off the DNP Today. Sleep has been ridiculous. b/p still the same.
Day 18-30

I think today is around day 30.

My final weight came down to around 210. So i guess i Lost 8 lbs give or take a couple.
It took 10 days for all the water to come off. I held about 214 till about 7 or 8 days off and then started to lose a little more.

On day 2 of coming off my DNP it felt like i went form zero to hero when i did my sport that day. But only that day. It was as though i had enough ATP and Glucose stores for only that day. I started carb loading the day i went off and ate serious amounts of carbs for 3-5 days after. Still, i couldn't seem to get any energy back in my legs. I would do intervals during sport and had enough for one or two. My legs just weren't getting enough juice to carry me through my training.
My h/r wouldn't respond either. Normally @ full power feeling fresh for intervals i can easily get my heart rate up into the 205-215 range repeatedly. for the first couple days after i couldn't get it over 195.

11 days out and i got really sick! I haven't had a fever in prob 3-4 yrs. I don't get sick often, and when i do i bounce back in a matter of 3-4 days. Well i've trained several yrs for the next couple months of competition i have. One of which i blew a couple days ago. I had a 101.5 temp and couldn't do sport that would have helped qualify me for the olympics. I did sport the follwing day and considering how bad i felt i did o.k.(top 10), but still did chitty overall.

Getting sick was a direct result of the DNP. I guess it just weakened my immune system too much for what ever virus i caught. Like i said i haven't had a feaver in yrs, so i know it was the DNP that assisted me in getting sick. What's the point in losing 8lbs to get faster if you're too sick to compete?

I'm not going to use DNP during competition ever again. @ least not within 4-6 weeks of a big event. If i was your everyday Joe Schmo then i'd cycle it again to drop weight. I'm one the most talented athletes in the nation in my sport and i won't use again unless i'm at least 6 weeks out from competition. I'm not trying to blow my own horn here @ all. I'm just trying to make whomever is reading this understand that i've dedicated my life to my sport that i do. It's not a pipe dream. I have a persoanl coach who i pay nicely to help kick my @$$. I am as almost as perfectly trained as you can be and follow everything to a T, and i got sick! I miscalculated, and i fuked up. I was very iognorant and didn't allocated a time frame in case i got sick from the DNP.I mean, i haven't had anything more than a cold for 4 years, i just forgot about getting sick. And it wasn't that i was THAT sick, i wasn't too bad, but it was just the time that i got sick could not have been timed more inconveniently for me. So instead of competing im lying in the hotel room 1000 miles from home sick! I've trained to long and hard to get sick from DNP.

I'm just really disappointed that i didn't get to compete. I had a ligitimate shot @ qualifiying and representing the USA overseas in 2 weeks and getting my name too the top of the list for guys to watch for an olympic spot.
In my sport it's as much politics for getting picked to go to the GAMES as it is qualifying. I got one more good shot in 4 weeks to get my name out there so i'll give it my all till then.
Using the DNP was my own choice and i feel it was the wrong one for the time frame i allocated it's use for. Excuses are like @$$holes, everyone's got one!

Since clen is on my banned substance list and no one really knows the detection time of it(it's not 3-5 days. Tha's impossible. It has @ least a 36 hr 1/2 life, do the math, there is no way it's out of your system in 5 days) i'm going to stay clear of it this next 4 weeks and just use my ECA. While DNP isn't on ANY IOC or 2004 WADA banned list for athletes i'm choosing not to use it again @ this time.

I'll keep you guys updated on my progress and thanks for the support ya'll have offered!
