Biceps down over 1/4" after 5 days of DNP

[kh24]

I figured I would take measurements every few days to see if my muscles were staying the same size and if my waist was getting smaller. Well today I found my arms are down 1/4-1/2". I've only lost about 6lbs so far and my arms were solid to begin with. I was around 12-14% body fat when I started so its not like its fat the came off my arms. Im just wondering if this is normal at all and when I come off the DNP will they go back up to their normal size. I took 200mg the first day 2 days and have been taking 400mg the last 3. I still lift and do about 30 minutes of cardio a day and usually eat between 2000-3000 calories a day

Your muscles are getting flat because DNP is scavenging the glucose from them for fuel. This is common and does not mean you're losing muscle. That's what's odd about DNP, it makes you hold water and at the same time makes your muscles go flat, so while you're on it you may not even think it's working. But once you come off, after a few days, the water will drop off and your muscles will swell back up with glycogen supercompensation (the "anabolic rebound"), and that's where you can really see the magic that DNP does.
I'd keep taking measurements but really your final call should be a few days after your last DNP dose when you can tell things have returned to normal.

exactly what heretic said..

once discontinuing dnp, wait 3 days til it clears your system.
then eat about 1000g carbs per day for 2 days.
youll be full and shredded in exactly 24 hours.

Thanks guys. Thats what i was thinking but just wanted to be sure. I have read how the muscles will look flat but figured the size would be about the same cause of holding water. Oh and H your caps kick ass

so wait 3 days before carb loading after the dose of dnp? just eat maintenance on the 3 days?

 

[Heretic]

Yes, wait to carb load until 2-4 days after the last dose, the higher the dose the longer you should wait.

I am afraid to risk the use od DNP my last 2 weeks of contest prep but I read alot of guys use it to fully deplete. If you were to deplete the week before with DNP with a minimal 200mg/day dosage for 7 day, how many days would you wait to carb Heretic?

Still trying to pick myself up off the floor from laughing after reading this, I'm gonna borrow it now bro.

 

[Heretic]

I'd wait two days bro, probably start carbing up either at the end of day two or the start of day 3. Usually on 200mg I feel almost back to normal the day after my last dose, that's usually a good sign of what's going on.
