That’s a lot of supps!! Holy cow!

Another member posted the same thing before the forum went offline. I replied to his comment but the website went down so all those posts were lost. The interesting thing he stated he couldn't imagine taking so many supps and he was using 8. The funny thing about that was I am using exactly the same amount of products (8). So sure I am using loads of supplements but I picked products with multiple ingredients so I am not popping pills all day. It's very easy and I simply dose them AM and PM... takes me 30 secs. If you use a multi-vitamin with 50 ingredients that's standard for a multi vitamin but guys don't class that has 50 supplements. I think guys just didn't read my post properly because they see all the text and just scan it. I would class that multi vitamin as 1 supplement/product for example and I think most are the same. I use a greens powder and I don't count that as 75 different supps. So if you look back and see the two lists of supps that is 2 products. I use another 6 and they are all used for specific reasons so it's not a case of me just using as much as possible.

Whilst the forum has been down I have been updating my log on anasci so will copy and paste my updates now...

I will start posting daily now. I never mentioned it but I have been injured recently. I get an issue with my middle/upper trap on the left side from time to time. It was really bad recently so I took some painkillers which I don't normally do. As a result my digestion was effected so I have had extra bloating but it's nearly gone now. I need to get some tissue work done on the area and will sort that out soon.

Things are good now though. I have still been training brutally hard just taking some extra off days. Tonight I trained legs and pushed my working sets to the absolute max...

Horizontal Leg Press Calf Presses... 4 working sets.
Seated Calf Raises... 2 working sets (last being a drop set).
Lying Leg Curls... 1 working set.
Unilateral Leg Curls... 1 working set (with negative reps) for each leg.
DB Stiff Leg Deadlifts... 1 working set.
Hip Adductor... 1 working set.
Horizontal Leg Press... 1 working set.
Squat Machine... 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Leg Extensions... 1 working set.
Stretches.

Pre workout I had 1 heaped scoop of Chaos Crew's Stim Head and 1 scoop of Alpha Lion's Komodo Pump. I was literally flying as I haven't had this preworkout for about 1 week and it's a strong one. Intra was 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc).

Tonight I added in mast e at 100mg so from now on my weekly doses will be...

500mg test c
300mg deca
200mg mast e

I just received all my slin pins so I will probably start lantus tomorrow at 20iu.

Due to digestive issues and loss of appetite I have had a few shakes recently. I usually combine powders and whole foods when I have them. Today my diet has been...

- 5 whole eggs.
- 50g protein from synthepure, 70g carbs from sweet potatoe powder, 1 apple, mixed berries and mixed nuts in water.
- Beef Mince (60g protein), vegetables and basmati rice (80g carbs).
- 40g 87% dark chocolate.
Intra- 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc).
- Chicken (60g protein), peppers and basmati rice (80g carbs).
- Beef Mince (60g protein), vegetables and basmati rice (80g carbs).
- 3 whole eggs, 50g protein from beef isolate, mixed nuts (macademias, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews and almonds).

I generally start most days with just protein and fats and nothing too big. It's usually something fast as well and those 5 whole eggs were already cooked and in the fridge. However my 2nd meal is usually not long after and will include all 3 macros. When I up my carbs in the future the first place they will go will be my first meal and intra workout.

Today I tidied the apartment after my pre workout meal and took some time so snacked on 87% dark chocolate before the gym. I do occasionally snack and like high calorie foods when I do. So dark chocolate, cheese (mini babybel) or nut butter. If it's preworkout I will usually add in a piece of fruit (banana or clementine) as well. Now I am adding lantus there will be no high fat snacks on those days.

Things are going well and I have started growing but still remaining fairly tight. I used hair removal cream and developed a bad rash but it's gone now so I will sort out some updated pics. Lantus will be added on all training days and my diet won't change (minus fatty snacks). My cycle is just starting to come to life with it being 3 weeks in so lets see what that and the added lantus does **broken link removed**

I look forward to training everyday now which is only a good sign. I have definitely noticed a difference (mentally) over the last week as the hormones are building up in my system. Today was push day and it felt good...

Warm Up.
Standing Barbell Shoulder Press... 1 working drop set with just 1 drop (2pps and 1pps).
Machine Lateral Raise... 1 working set with 175lbs.
Cable Lateral Raise (from behind my body)... 1 working set with 23kg for each arm.
Incline Chest Press... 1 working drop set with just 1 drop (3pps and 2pps).
Pec Deck (foam roller behind me)... 1 working set.
Machine Press... 1 working set.
Tri-Cep Dips... 1 working set with 4pps.
Close Grip Bench Press... 1 working set.
Cable Tri-cep Extensions (2 handles)... 1 working set.
StairMaster for 15 mins (calf raises on my tiptoes for the duration).
Stretches.

All movements were slow and controlled with pauses at the bottom to prevent any momentum and keep the tension on the target muscle.

Preworkout I had 2 sccops of Myoblox Loco Cinco XO. Intra was 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc). Post workout I had 250g chicken breast, basmati rice (80g carbs) and a side salad with carrots, white cabbage, cherry tomatoes, mirador sauce (similar to light soy sauce), apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. I will start adding similar side salads to most of my meat and rice meals as they taste great and I am making sure I get more greens and vegetables into my diet.

No slin today but definitely starting it tomorrow and it will be pull day and I look forward to it.

 

[Elvia1023]

A slight change of plan. I was looking at my insulin and realized I have some used novolin-r with an expiry date of 2017. I figured just start with that instead. It will still be gtg so I started that today. I will rotate insulin types as I go along so lantus and humalog will also be used over the subsequent months. I decided to dose 10iu novalin-r with 2iu Genotrope twice today. I will carry on with the same dosing over the next week and adjust if needed.

Today was pull day and more of the same. I dosed the novolin-r about 2 hours pre workout. I have had more shakes today for convenience but also 2 meat and rice meals so far. After I post this I will have chicken, jasmine rice and a side salad. Intra today was 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc) and an additional scoop of Axe & Sledge's Demoday (15g Carb10 and 11g HBCD's). I had planned to up intra carbs slightly and will be sticking with that amount (65g) for the foreseeable future. Today I also tried 1.5 scoops of OuttenFit Nutrition's Revive V2 preworkout and it was great. My workout included...

Warm Up
Reverse Pec Deck... 1 working drop set with just 1 drop.
Machine Pullovers... 1 working set.
Incline Bench DB Rows... 1 working set.
Close Grip Pulldowns... 1 working set.
Machine Rows (unilateral)... 1 working set for each side.
Cable Shrugs... 1 working drop set with just 1 drop.
Lower Back Extensions supersetted with Reverse Lower Back Extensions... 2 sets.
Machine Curls (unilateral)... 1 working set for each side.
DB Hammer Curls... 1 working set.
Preacher DB Hammer Curls... 1 working set for each side.
Stretches.

 

[Elvia1023]

So much to report. I never load my lower back but after those lower back extensions the other day it felt extra tight. I usually stop short of failure and never push it but did more that day and could feel the difference. I had a day off but when training legs the next day my lower back wouldn't have taken the planned stiff leg deadlifts so I adjusted my workout. I still pushed it to the max though...

Abs for 10 mins.
Calf Presses... 3 working sets.
Calf Extensions... 1 working set with both feet then 1 working set with each leg separately.
Unilateral Seated Leg Curls... 2 working sets (with negative reps) for each leg.
Standing Leg Curls... 1 working set with partials for each leg.
Leg Press... 2 working sets with 7pps. The 1st set was with wide feet and as low as possible (full rom) for 32 reps. After 1 min rest the 2nd set was with a close stance and a partial rom for 26 reps.
Hip Adductor... 1 working set with negative reps.
Leg Extensions... 2 working sets (drop weight for 2nd set) with no more than 30 secs rest between.
Stretches.

After the above workout I was destroyed and fell asleep even though I had taken a lot of pre workout. That will be due to the addition of hgh. Although I had only used 2iu twice then had a day off training (no hgh) and took 2iu pre workout so I hadn't even run it each day. I dosed it once that day due to falling asleep. Today I have dosed hgh/slin twice and plan to do the same tomorrow. I did fall asleep again today though but before the gym. I can tell already this hgh will be a struggle but I will push through.

I have also started getting some acne on my face which is annoying. I am 2 shots (100mg) mast e in so far so it's probably due to the inclusion of that. Once levels stablize I will be fine. I only plan to run 200mg per week and will not change that as it's just to compliment my cycle and I have no need for high dosed mast when growing.

Another thing I never mentioned is I do what Stan Efferding talks about a lot in regards to frequent walking. I done it anyway due to having my dog Flex but now I always walk him after I have eaten. I also try and get 3 walks in everyday after meals to improve digestion, appetite and insulin sensitivity. Most walks are 15 mins but 1 is usually longer. As it's freezing now it's not that long but when it's warmer 1 walk is always over 1 hour. In addition to that I now do cardio for 10-20 mins at the end of most training sessions as well.

 

[Elvia1023]

I have been having digestive problems and lot's of gas. Not a surprise from the increased food. But it seems the white cabbage I have been having a lot recently is the route to most of my problems. I am sure some of the powders I have had didn't help either. But I figured out a short list and after I had a side salad with carrot and white cabbage (tomatoes etc) I was really bad. I don't usually have an issue with the other ingredients and the white cabbage is new. I seem to be improving and I guess will have to leave it out in the future.

I started today with an avocado, greek yoghurt and an EAA shake with my supplements. Then it was all pretty much chicken/beef with rice and vegetables. I have also had some fruit with all my meals as well. Been mainly having mandarins and kiwis. Post workout I had chicken with pasta. I had cooked too much pasta so basically waited about 1 hour then had another serving of pasta with a protein shake afterwards. I done that because I had taken my 2nd shot of novolin-r before my post workout meal so like to load up on carbs and protein whilst it is active.

Today I was amped to train. I also added in 1 scoop of Chao's Crew's Stim Head and 1 scoop of Alpha Lion's Komodo Pump preworkout so I was fired up. I had all my movements planned out and simply tried to lift as heavy as possible.

Warm Up.
Machine Lateral Raises... 1 working set.
Standing Cable Lateral Raises... 1 working set with each arm.
Shoulder Press... 1 working set. I tried 3.5pps but only got 3 reps so quickly dropped to 3pps and got another 6 or 7 reps.
Incline Bench Cable Flyes... 1 working set.
Machine Press... 1 working set.
DB Floor presses (hammer grip).
Tri-Cep Dips... 1 working set with 4.5pps.
Seated Overhead Extensions... 1 working set.
Tri-cep Pushdowns... 1 working set.
15 mins cardio (bike and s force performance trainer).
Stretches.

You will see I place my exercises in a certain order for various reasons. When doing PUSH day for example I like to blend the 3 main muscles (chest, shoulders and tri-ceps) together. Meaning today for example I ended shoulders with a high (or low) incline shoudler press so my chest is largely activated. Then the same for my last chest exercise which was a neutral/hammer grip floor press which brings the tri-ceps into play substantially.

I just had to look up what the cardio piece is called (S-Force Performance Trainer). It's literally the hardest cardio equipment I have ever used. I have used it about 10 times now. The stairmaster is a walk in the park compared to it. You can use a shortened range of motion but I always use the full rom which is large so it's good for flexibility as well. Obviously cardio is only as hard as what effort you put in but after 1 min I am literally derstroyed on this and it's designed for less training time. I done 10 mins bike and 5 mins on this thing but usually do more.

I woke up today and loaded up on some fat and protein in the form of 87% dark chocolate, walnuts and a whey shake (Rule 1 salted caramel flavour). 2moro I will do the same and have avocados and mixed nuts in preparation. 2 of my other meals have been meat and rice with vegetables. I have also had a shake made with synthepure, oats, banana, kiwi, mixed berries and walnuts in water. Post workout I had 50g protein from synthepure and a massive bowl of cereal. I generally prefer rice based cereal but I used wholegrain cheerios which I love the taste of. I had the cereal with coconut milk. My last meal was 200g turkey breast and a whole pack of corn cakes (salted every one). I get rice cakes 80% of the time but the corn ones taste great and I digest them fine so I like to rotate occasionally. Although whilst I grow these won't be consumed a lot and it will mainly just be rice or cream of rice. My pre bed meal will probably be beef with wild rice and a side salad with avocado. Before I have that I will drink an EAA shake in 1 litre of water and take my PM supplements.

No 2 days are ever the same with me so I have freedom with my diet but everything is in place to grow. I just need to remain consistent which has been my struggle in the past but not this time. Tomorrow I am stocking up on beef so most of my meals will be beef, rice and vegetables. I rotate protein sources but beef is the main one. It's just after 3 weeks of eating beef 3-4 times daily I like to swop over to chicken for 1 week just so I don't go crazy I will also pick up some lean lamb mince 2moro which tastes great so I mix it in occasionally. I will also pick up some choco/rice krispies for some post workout meals. My digestion issues seem to have passed which is good so it's full steam ahead.

It was pull day and more of the same. I am going to leave out pulldowns for now due to some minor distal bicep tendonitis. Obviously many movements can contribute to it but it's a reoccuring problem for me and I know they trigger it the most.

Warm Up (very light weight rear delt raises etc).
Reverse Peck Dec... 1 working drop set with just 1 drop.
Machine Pullovers... 1 working set.
Incline Bench DB High Rows... 1 working set with 100lb db's.
Cable Rows... 2 working sets using different techniques.
Cable Shrugs supersetted with DB Shrugs... 1 working set.
Rack Pulls... a few sets just to get some direct lower back stimulation. Went up to 30kg per side and done high reps.
Cable Curls... 1 working set with 70kg.
Machine Unilateral Curls... 1 working set (with negative reps) with each arm.
DB Hammer Curls... 1 working set with 75lb db's.
Barbell Forearm Twists... 1 working set with 10kg per side for over 1 min.
Abs for 10 mins.
Stretches.
Cardio for 20 mins (treadmill on 15% incline at 5km/h).

I have taken novolin-r at 10iu twice today. I use 2iu Genotrope HGH with every slin injection.

I have also added in 5g creatine pre workout just to give me a boost and hopefully some water weight. If I was using an oral I wouldn't bother but I figured give it a try as I haven't used creatine in ages. I went with the Controlled Labs Green Might product because it also contains pomegranate and tart cherry extract.

Great log again, Elvia!
I think and hope youll get used to the gh without getting fatigued. Might take some weeks, but eventually.
I wonder what your bloodwork looks like. Lots of variables in your program.....

I usually get bloodwork done all the time but truth be told I haven't recently. I would be shocked if anything was bad though. I just have issues with my HDL but have taken steps to ensure that improves. I did plan to get a blood test recently but had an issue. I paid for a kit to be sent to my parents address (in the UK) so when I visited last I had planned to take the sample and send it in the post. It was over the weekend so I said to myself do it on the day I leave after the w/e. Anyway I open it up and realize because I added in extra vitamins (it would have been about 60 blood markers) that I had to take the sample IV. I have never done that as because I was rushed for time I just left it. I will get a blood test done when I am back in Decemeber though. That will be in the middle of my cycle so will be very useful.

 

[Elvia1023]

Yesterday I was in 2 minds if I should train. I left it but at 11:30pm I said fuck it and destroy legs and that is what I did I like training late as the gym is usually empty so I can go crazy. That was my thought especially due to it being leg day as I can make all the noise I want and no one is there to hear it. I really pushed it to the max for my working sets.

It was also a milestone workout in many ways as I barbell squatted for the first time in years. Recently I have been adding in movements I don't usually do just to make things harder. Now I still won't perform certain movements as I know my lower back can't take it. But I figured try some squats and see how I am. It felt really weird at first. Obviously no heavy weight but even 20kg per side felt heavy at first but once I got my rhythm it was nothing. I still only went up to 30kg per side (80kg total) though. I done 30kg per side for 30 reps then dropped 10kg per side and done 15 paused reps then dropped another 10kg and done another 15 paused reps. Nothing to failure but those 3 sets felt good and I was destroyed after them as it was essentially a drop set of 60 reps. I could feel my lower back so I need to be careful but today I have been fine with no tightness etc. Moving forward I will stick to 30kg per side for high reps and just play about with paused reps and making the light weight feel as heavy as possible. I will see am I am over time and if my back is ok I will start adding weight to the bar very slowly. My leg workout looked like...

Seated Calf Raises... 3 working sets (dropped weight each working set but performed more reps).
Standing Calf Raises supersetted with Leg Press Calf Presses... 2 working sets.
Lying Leg Curls... 1 working set with both legs. Then 2 working sets with my right and left leg separately. The 1st ended with negative reps and the 2nd ended with partial reps.
DB Stiff Leg Deadlifts... 1 working set.
Barbell Squats... no working sets (details posted above).
Vertical Leg Press... 2 hard sets and 1 working set of 27 reps (brutal).
Unilateral Leg Extensions... 1 working set with each leg. I done the full weight rack for 9 reps (right leg) and 10 reps (left leg).
Stretches.
No cardio unless you count the 20 min walk home.

My legs have really improved recently. They are very long so it will always be a struggle but I am very happy with how things are going. Just going to keep grinding away and seeing where it takes me.

 

[Elvia1023]

I am aiming to get stronger in all movements but I think of things more in a gradual sense. So progressive overload is key but I don't try to beat my reps or weight every single workout (sometimes I do). That is a great way of doing things because if everything is in place you will always get stronger. However I find many just for the sake of constantly beating their number start letting form change. I don't mean bad form but just things like speeding up reps. So I don't go from workout to workout but will always try to be stronger in movements every few weeks.

I do have some goal weights for certain movements/machines I use. If I had problems getting stronger then I will rotate movements. However I also don't use the same movements every workout and like to rotate things. I still have some core movements I always do and when possible I will get as strong as possible in those movements.

Today was push day and it was another great workout. I wish I could have got updated pics done as I was super full and can see a big difference. My workout consisted of...

Warm Up.
High Incline Bench DB Lateral Raises... 1 working set.
Machine Lateral Raises... 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Machine Shoulder Press... 1 working set.
Machine Vertical Butterfly... 1 working set.
Incline Press... 1 working set.
Flat Press... 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Close Grip Bench Press... 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Machine Seated Overhead Tri-cep Extension... 1 working set.
Tri-cep Pushdowns... 1 working set.
Stretches.
Stairmaster for 20 mins (press down hard for every step).

My preworkout today was Innovapharm MVPre2.0 and the pumps were incredible. I felt super full my entire workout. It contains some great pump ingredients including citrulline malate, glycerpump and s7. I also loaded up on fluids and electrolytes pre and intra workout which only helps matters. My intra was 6 scoops of Yamamoto Nutrition's Energan (40g HBCD's, 15g EAA's, 8g l-citrulline etc) with an extra 45g carbs (wms) added. I have some old bags of waxy maize starch I will go through. Not the best carb but it's cheap and I forgot I had them so will use them up. I also dosed 10iu novolin-r and 2iu hgh as well. I only dosed gh/slin once today and yesterday but will make sure I dose it twice next training day (should be tomorrow).

I have lot's of LR3 on the way to me so I am going to trial it at a high dose to see how good it is. I will rotate dose timing and it will be coupled with some very high carb meals. Things are starting to take off now

 

[GetYucked]

What’s your timing, protocol for carb intake around your insulin usage.

several I know, that use a faster acting insulin... take 3-4 units before breakfast, 3-4 units before lunch, and 3-4 units post training.Quickly digesting carbs are consumed immediately after insulin injection: white rice, cream of rice, sugary snacks, fruit, etc

I have used that protocol before and it's a great way of doing things. Simply adding in small doses of slin to an existing diet. Although when using that protocol I keep my diet the same and feel it's best to keep carbs mainly complex (well no sugary snacks). Sugar is unnecessary imo well apart from when using higher doses of fast/rapid acting slin or dosing around training. I was essentially doing the same thing this time as I planned to add in lantus to my existing diet. As I grew and increased calories the slin would be increased as well but nothing high. Although when looking at my slin supply I decided to start with some novalin-r as it was old and expired. I am pretty much doing the same thing with that but due to my schedule I have been keeping both shots of 10iu much closer together than originally planned and usually around training. So I have been utlizing some faster carbs and shakes whilst it is active.

I have no set protocol for carb intake well basically using as many carbs and aminos as I can whilst it is active without putting on unnecessary fat. I usually do 1 shot approx 2 hours pre workout and within 30 mins I start eating protein and complex carbs. My meal before the slin dose contains protein, carbs and fats. Then about 30 mins preworkout I usually have an EEA shake with a small snack (banana for example) then intra I have a shake. Nothing is set in stone but basically just clean food and minimal fat intake when the insulin is active. I also dose certain supplements (creatine etc) when the insulin is active. I don't really have to change anything with 10iu novolin-r because most of my meals contain approx 80g carbs so I am always covered. I just make sure my intra shake is loaded (approx 80g carbs and loads of aminos etc) so I have no issues when training because my time in the gym is still fairly long due to longer rest periods between sets.

Which steps did u take to bring up your hdl?

I stopped taking oral AAS. Although I plan to add in tbol in the future but that isn't too rough on lipids and I will only run it for approx 4 weeks. I added in cardio approx 4 days per week. I also take my dog on regular walks especially after meals. Then comes the supplements such as citrus bergamot, pantethine, allicin and krill oil. I also consume avocados, extra virgin olive oil, mixed nuts (walnuts) etc daily.

 

[Elvia1023]

The one struggle I personally have is staying out of the gym. However if I want to grow I must have some rest days as they will only benefit me. Sometimes less is more especially when each session is brutal. So today I am having an off day as I definitely need it. Sometimes it's hard to switch off especially when gains are coming on strong and you feel strong in the gym but there needs to be adequate recovery (mind and body). My lower back is also quite tight which can only be from the squats so I will monitor things and try to stay loose.

I forgot to mention I also had an Shiatsu massage done a few days ago. It was really good and I left feeling great. He worked on my ab area (upper part of the psoas muscle) and the surrounding areas due to my lower back problems. I have found a place that also does sports massage so will book in there one day too. Over here is not like the US and UK for sports massage. In the UK I have many options for good sports massage. 90% of the massage places here are Thai places and some of them offer sex. I was searching on Google and one come up which is literally down the road from me. They advertise it online as it's allowed but it's discreet so I didn't know it existed. They even offer sex dolls
