2 girls, DNP… and never say never…lol

UPDATE TIME! End of Week 5 :)

Day 30 – This week started of with interesting stats and we are ready for what this week has in store for us. We are second week in with Clen (me) and ECA (the girl). Everything seems to be good with the dosing. I also think we have both leveled out with the sides and being on the same DNP dose since week 3.

What I have noticed today is that, at least me, I am sleeping very well. I was sleeping OK up to this point but last night has been a very deep sleep. I also had a hard time waking up. We have added additional 10min of cardio in the morning for a total of 30mins. Maybe that’s what burns us out more now? Who knows… So many variables.

Day 31-35 – The last couple days have been different. We noticed that with our diet being strict but in just a conservative deficit as @MrRippedZilla said, we decided that it would be best to go from a 12.5% and 12.9% deficit to a much larger. We started with 25% deficit for me and 30% deficit for the girl. She is getting a much larger cut for the next few days then next week we drop further to a 40%. We are hoping to boost the fat loss further with a slightly more aggressive approach. This set up still gives me 1,502 cals and 1,660 cals for her then dropping to 1,410 next week. She may hate me after this…. Hehehe or love me more! Lol… we are still keeping carbs well under 100g a day as we feel best on that and least heat which is very manageable.

Another thing that has intensified is sleep, as I mentioned earlier. I even ended up passing out on the couch right after the gym one night, an hour before my typical bedtime and slept till morning. I am also having some crazy vivid dreams and they seem so real. But they are so out there! lol I sleep well and the sweating is under control… well, the house is at 62, I sleep in the nude and only have a sheet draped over me when needed. So you could say that I am quite comfortable as long as there is no comforter or more heat touching me. lol

Finally, this could be partly due to the adjusted calories but the last few days I am feeling as if I work out my entire body and every muscle group. We are still going strong at the gym with low reps and our 30 min cardio but feel like I ran a marathon or something. I guess that could be why I am falling asleep so easily and sleep solid. I guess I could say the workout recovery is slightly longer right now as I even wake up sore the next day!

Day 36 (Dec 12) – end of week 5! WOW! Not too much as of right now but I can say, we are feeling good!

Interesting read.

Presumably you've kept detailed notes of what the scales says every day - after the activity is over - can you put that in some sequence so we can see how your weight, BF%, and water % changed over time?

thanks and good luck!

Yes of course! I was updating the weight daily the first few weeks. But I'm still doing my notes and keeping track. We weigh in the same time daily.

@GearGodess

GG, this is slightly off topic (since you two are GIRLS) but do you know anything about a recommended gear approach while taking DNP? Should dosage be changed at all while on DNP? Bump it up a bit to avoid muscle loss, or is basic TRT (or natural, off-cycle) levels enough? Are you doing more var than normal (for example) while you're on DNP?

BTW, here's an older DNP thread that's still interesting:

My thoughts would be continue as normal. I wasn't planning on trying dnp and when I started it, I was at the tail end of my cycle. I didn't change anything. So I don't think any adjustments are needed.

The only thing is from my findings and talking to few experienced members is that T3 can be used with it along with Clen or ECA. I guess it all depends on the individual's experience and level along with goals.

What I also found and this is obvious, even dnp results slow down with people who have lower weight and body fat compared to those with higher numbers. But that goes for anything.

Love this thread lol been interested in dnp and had some rather interesting topics within as well. @legendary knows whats up haha. One thing to remember is what happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom we getting final stage progress pics on this?
 
Happy Monday Everyone! It's that time again... end of week 6...

Day 37 – Entering week 6 with a little different feeling. The DNP has definitely peaked and our bodies have adjusted to it well the last 2 weeks. So well that we aren’t getting any of the sides that are so bothersome. Sleep is still great, the fatigue isn’t bad at all and the sweating isn’t uncontrollable. Although it never was. But now, we just feel warm and good! Yes, we actually feel good on it. I also look leaner even though I’m still “feeling” puffy and soft.

Day 38-42 – The girl got her “monthly visit from Aunt Ruby” and let’s just say… oh my is she ever cranky!!! Lol… I can say that I DO NOT miss that time of the month at all! Mine still hasn’t returned since I’ve only been off cycle for a few weeks.

Day 43 – Today marks the end of week 6! WOW… I know I say this each time but I am still amazed. This compound isn’t as bad as some say it is. It is quite efficient and easily manageable. Plus pretty awesome in the winter as it is -20 (or-4 F degrees) out with the wind chill and I’m fairly content and comfortable where normally I am beyond freezing and hate it as I can’t get warm no matter how many layers I have on. As bad as it sounds, the warmth is my favorite part about DNP!... Go ahead, judge me for saying that. lol...
House is up a little to 63-64 daily but comfortable. My workouts have been pretty good too.

I should also mention that I have come across an opportunity which I am going to go for and will need to stop my run soon. Well, one more week then I will have 12 days to get everything showing and in tip top shape as I need to be “drier” for this. Plus I do not want to feel bloated or holding water as to me, I can see it in pics and makes me feel uncomfortable. I have to be either 100% ready or nothing!

As for the girl, we are continuing with the plan and she is going to keep going as planned. I will also continue logging her progress/findings. I will try to get more details from her. I will also go through the taper down and post-dnp details most likely next week as I am trying to plan everything out and ensure it’s good. Then final findings once the final result shows itself.
