Update, week 4:
Strength gains have been fairly constant week to week. Was able to bench 280, and followed with 315 for a negative. Standing straight bar curls are now with 45s; standing military press maxed at 250, followed by 22 reps at 135. Definitely gains in both strength and endurance. I'm a volume lifter vs. a power lifter, so I'm happy there. Yesterday I benched 185 for 22 reps followed by 135 for 43 reps. And this was done after I went up to my max and then back down.
No acne, gyno, or aggression. Body temp feels a bit higher. Sleep seems to be a bit all over the map. Some nights I'm up until 2-3:00 am and wide awake. My sex drive is pretty potent. However it seems that right after a pin it's not for a day or so...
My appetite isn't through the charts but am trying to keep a good, clean diet with plenty of protein. At this point I'm looking for lean muscle mass production, as the strength and endurance seems there. It seems as if I have had some muscle mass gain, as my weight is about 224 and my fat (pinch test) seems to be reducing. Recovery is pretty solid. Definitely getting sore (muscles, joints, ligaments) but they seem to recover really fast.
That's it for now. See you in a week.
