MOM's 1-T/Epistane log

[ManOfMuscle]

Do those bother your elbows at all?? I tried to do them today and got through about 4 reps before I had to stop and switch up my exercises.

Actually it's quite the opposite, I don't feel any stress on any of my joints with them. The only thing that ever hurts my elbows are the first sets of skullcrushers, which I usually don't go over 100 lbs on these days, and the first sets of overhead dumbell press.

 

[Primordial Performance]

Thanks for the link that's interesting. It looked to me like they were saying to use it at 6 pumps 2x per week.

Yeah, we recommend at least 6 pumps 2x per week for the on-cycle Sustain protocol… and up to 10 pumps if you are on a highly suppressive cycle.

The 1-T really seems to kick in for most people around week 3, so it should pick up from here on out.

I've used the sustain alpha 3 times, doing the six pump protocol, and after each use I get a very noticeable kick in sex drive. I will enjoy trying it during a cycle of test. Thanks for stopping in Eric.

those overhead ext hurt my elbows too, milk.

hey MOM, do you use curlbar, straightbar, or hammergrip bar for skullcrushers? and do you do them on flat, decline, or incline bench? one of these factors may be why you get elbow pain on the skullcrushers. i had the same problem untill i started doing them on the decline with the hammergrip bar.. its the only thing that didnt bother my joints..

i take the taco when it comes to joint problems and contraindications, unfortunately, so if anything else is botherin ya during your workout id love to throw in my 2 cents bro..

cheers

I've done skullcrushers with every type of bar, from every angle. My normal gym doesn't have a set of cambered bb's so I stay a little lighter and do flat skullcrushers with 100 lbs. My other gym has the cambered bars so I usually do overhead presses with those. When I say the skulls hurt me it's not like they really cause me any problems, the joints just get a little creaky on the first set before the blood gets pumping. If I started lighter I wouldn't even feel it. Thanks for taking an interest.

Day 62 1-T Day 41 Epistane

Started my last bottle of 1-T yesterday. I think I'm going to up the dose from 6 to 8 pumps per day to get through it a little faster. Now that I'm finishing the epistane, I'm ready to be off and recovering so that I can hopefully be on some test in the early part of the summer. Less than a week of epistane left.

Awesome sounds good bro, can't wait to see the pics of your results!

That's the best news I've heard in a while. Test is wonderful.

 

[mikea]

I would never use Epistane as long as test is being made

But i really like your split, and it has given me some ideas!

Keep it up mate please!

Day 65 1-T Day 44 Epistane

Came down with some type of flu virus wednesday night. Was running a high fever, pounding headache, muscle aches, cramping etc. Broke the fever last night. Skipped Thursdays workout and took it easy. Went to the gym today but still took it easy. I swear this stuff is breaking down my immune system and I have AIDS.

Very good log. You have a level of dedication to the training and logging it that I need to reach. I have gotten a little better with the warmer weather however.

 

[ManOfMuscle]

Thanks Dane.

Day 70 1-T


Lower body strength -

squats 135 x5 225 x3 315 x2 365 x2 405 x2 x5 (no belt)
hanging twisting leg raises x10 x12 x15

seated db curls 35's x8 40's x8 45's x13
superset w/ one arm overhead db extension 35 x10 40 x10 45 x10

Definitely feeling the absence of the epistane. Not getting weaker or smaller or anything like that, but I can definitely feel the chemicals shifting out of my body. I have been a bit lethargic and am already more sore from my workouts. Also I've been pretty irritable. Most of this should pass by the end of the week.

How many more days in this cycle?

Would you like to add some 1-T TREN to the mix? It will whip that lethargy right out of you...

I've got about 2/3 of my last bottle of 1-T so probably not more than a couple weeks. At 8 pumps a day it will probably be gone pretty quickly. If Primordial would like to sponsor my use of 1-T Tren I'd be happy to give it a try and do a log similar to this one. Thanks for stopping in Eric.

 

[1badmofo]

Great log. You will feel the 1-T Tren if you try it, although sounds like this cycle is winding down.

Are you going on post cycle therapy (pct) and staying clean for awhile... or do you plan on continuing?
