Hi all. I've been reading around on here for a bit but never joined. Well, I recently ordered epi-strong to run my first prohormone cycle and thought I'd log it for you all here as so many others have unknowingly helped me in my search for a good prohormone to run on my first cycle. I plan on updating this weekly but I'm a pretty busy dude so if I get behind my apologies but I will come thru!
So lets begin with a little info.
I'm 24 yo, 6 foot tall 178 lbs roughly 12% bf. I'm just coming off a 10 week mini cut of sorts where I dropped 10 lbs. I've been weightlifting for roughly 4 years but only began trying to gain size the last 19months. I was always a skinny guy but relatively strong. 19 months ago I was 135 lbs and still had a 1rm on bench at 180.
1rm's
bench: 235
squat: 315 atg
leg press: 865
dl:300 ( not very good at these lol )
db curl: idk 1rm but I can do 5 reps of great form 45 lb standing curls freshly warmed up.
Here's my split. Mind you, it's written in sand as I tend to base my workouts around how my body actually feels that day. I plan on posting all my workouts of the week at the end of the week.
Mon: Chest/ Bi ( focus on compound movements) at least 3 exercises per body part 10-15 reps per set.
Tue: Back/tris ( same focus and goal as chest/bi)
Wed: heavy Legs- light shoulders - At least 8 sets of squats 10-15 reps per set + 6 sets of ham curls 10-15. 2 shoulder excerces 4 sets each 10-15 reps per set.
Thurs: Chest/Bi ( Isolation movements) Same set and rep scheme as monday)
Friday: Back/tris ( Isolation movements and same set/rep scheme as tuesday)
Sat: light legs/ heavy shoulder( 6 supersets of ham curls and leg extensions 15-25 reps and 12 sets of shoulder exercises 10-15 reps.
I will also be throwing in Calves and Ab exercises as I feel fit throughout the workouts.
The products I will be using during this cycle and pct
Cycle:
Epistrong at 30/45/45/45
preworkout : 3 gr beta alanine, 1.5 gr agmatine sulfate, 5 gr creatine mono, 300 mg caffeine, 10 mg dmaa, taurine gr.

preworkout: mutate nation albutarex half serving and muscle warfare's thermofuse au version half serving.
joint support :muscles feasts cissus at 2 grams per day and walgreens brand glucoasmine/msm blend
Planned Diet
I plan on intaking 3000 calories a day for the first week and see how that goes. I plan to intake at least 250 grams of protein a day, stay below 300 grams of carbs and get the rest of my calories from healthy fats. I'll try and post my calorie intake and macronutrient ratio for each week as I go along.
My phone broke recently and am waiting for a new one to get in so I can upload recent pics. It might be a few days into the cycle but I'm doubting it'll be much different than where I am now.
I got the epi in yesterday evening and am trying to decide if I want to start taking it now or go ahead and wait till sunday or monday. I've read that most people don't start seeing results until a week or week and a half in and figure it's just about getting it in my blood constantly so starting at the end of the workout week shouldn't hurt.
If anyone has any suggestions, critiques, what have you I wouldn't mind them at all. Please try to make them constructive though.
