Strength was up from previous week...again! Was absolutely estatic with the pull today. Lowerback pumps were outta control after deads, but they subsided. Still the only side effects to note are lethargy (when my alarm went off this morning I did not wanna get up so I slept in for another 45 minutes) and 'short fuse'. Still cant seem to get enough food either at 4200cal spaced out over 6 meals a day...im always friggen hungry!!!!!

On a side note went and picked up my ephedrine 2day for my next cutting cycle.

have you increased your milk thistle intake since jumping up to 30mg? Anyways, seems like ur having great results thus far, that's great! keep postin and keep getting ripped!

no i havent...im at 1800mg a day and from what ive read thats on the higher end of milk thistle dosages...how much do you think i should up it to?

[NightTrain]

good work upstate tank,

i was doing 3000mg a day of milk thistle. it cant hurt to bump it up.

[D-Bo Dre]

no i havent...im at 1800mg a day and from what ive read thats on the higher end of milk thistle dosages...how much do you think i should up it to?

I think it would be a good idea to bump up to at least 2000mg-2500mg.. what ever your body doesnt need, you'll piss out anyways..

[UpstateTank]

you guys make good points...the stuff is cheap newayz and i figure an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so why the hell not 2400 mg here i come!

[tinyguy2]

milk thistle is proven to do anything. livers are the only organ in the body that heals it self so i wouldn't worry about one cycle of oral steroids espcially when the damage done from them is completely blown out of proportion. but do what u will

Workout was OK today. The whole lethargy thing seems to be really kickin my ass. I'm gonna hop back on AMP tommorow as energy was always through the goddamn roof on that stuff. Im upping milk thistle to 2400mg from 1800mg...better to be safe than sorry! I'm really lookin forward to my workout tommorow as today was subpar in comparison to what I've been having. Once again I hit the snooze about 4 times this morning...I just didnt wanna get up. Thanks for all the support again fellas!

[matt50]

keep up the good work brother...does amp work similar to NO???

[rar1015]

Good job man, keep up the good work!!!

[UpstateTank]

keep up the good work brother...does amp work similar to NO???

amp isnt a NO product...amp is basically an amphetamine which is why its gettin banned...they always take away all the good stuff It gives me crazy amounts of focus and energy...not jittery energy like caffeine does but thats all i want to to when im on it is just f'in lift...no bullshitting no talking just destroyin the ole steel!

[UpstateTank]

Good job man, keep up the good work!!!

thanks for the continuned support bro!

[kyjelly]

Are you taking CoQ10?

[UpstateTank]

Are you taking CoQ10?

im saving the CoQ10 for pct cause i know the ryr removes it from your heart...that stuff is mad expensive btw

[stay gold]

good work bro, keep thrashin' those legs..too many people neglect a hardass leg workout

[kyjelly]

im saving the CoQ10 for pct cause i know the ryr removes it from your heart...that stuff is mad expensive btw

so its not a good idea to take red yeast and CoQ10 at the same time?

How much mg's you gonna run it at?

lol, yeah it is rather pricey...

[UpstateTank]

lol, yeah it is rather pricey...

I'm not too sure about using both at the same time...I can't remember the specifics behind it but from reading countless other logs and info on it I came to the conclusion that its a good idea to run it for 1 week prior to starting the cycle and during the first week of the cycle...along with first 2 weeks of pct

I'm gonna run it at 300mg/day during pct

Hope that helps a lil bit!

[UpstateTank]

thanks for the support bro!

[pelly789]

i was just looking at your leg workout and it seems like your squat should be higher than it is...dont take it the wrong way but i just think by the rest of your leg lifts that you should be able to squat more

[UpstateTank]

no worries bro...believe me i think it should be higher than it is as well Like Ive said before my legs are hands down my weakest part...nothing repeated weekly thrashings wont change though

[pelly789]

yea mine too ive always hated doing legs myself but always stuck with it. itll come in time and btw thanks for keeping a log of your cycle its helped me alot

[UpstateTank]

my pleasure bro

when you run it for those 3 weeks, are you gonna be running red yeast rice too? or no?

Thanks man

[matt50]

was just re reading some of ur log...very impressive leg pressing for ur weak area....all my leg excercises are similar weight but i got this routine from another member: superhuman

SQUAT:
1x15 (warmup)
1x12 (medium weight)
2x8 (heavier weight)
2x6 (heavest weight you can handle)

Leg Extensions:
4x8 (nice and slow w/heavier weight, squeeze @ end of each rep)

Leg Curls:
4x8 (nice and slow heavier weight, squeeze @ end of each rep)

Leg Press:
2x10 (medium weight) go nice and slow
2x25 (light weight) go fast and burnout

Calf Extensions
2x6 (VERY HEAVY but controlled)
2x15 (Medium Weight, but still controlled)

it seems to be working so far lol

[UpstateTank]

when you run it for those 3 weeks, are you gonna be running red yeast rice too? or no?

Thanks man

yea im gonna run the ryr during those 2 weeks as well...im not too sure if its gonna be pointless or not because of how ryr and coq10 sort of negate eachother...if ne one knows the answer to this one please chime in

looks are definitely decieving...for some reason the legpress machine that is at school has to be loaded with a crazy amount of weight...when i go home i dont do anywheres near as much as i do when im at school

thanks for posting that legworkout...i think ill give that a try during pct..it looks fun

[kyjelly]

thanks, again let me know how your PCT goes.

and yeah, if anyone knows anything with red yeast rice and CoQ10, let us know.

Had a furious workout today. Pumps were on the verge of retarded Strength again was up in all excercises in comparison to last week. Lethargy has been absolutely killing me though. Yesterday I got 10hours of sleep...took a nap from 8pm-10pm and still went to bed at 12:30 for 8 hours...the amp has definitely been my saving grace for my workouts, id be like a damn sloth if it wasnt for it. Just talking about naps makes me wanna take one now Other than being lethargic and a lil 'short fused' there are still no other side effects to report. No libido issues, nose bleeds, back pumps, prostate pains etc. May have some slight testicular atrophy but again that could just be me being paranoid...Really excited for deadlifts tommorow

Forgot to mention my weight...weighed 210 today which puts me up 19lbs in 3 weeks

Back is still killing me from deadlifts yesterday
