Hey dudes.
This seemed like the best board to post a little DNP log at. Out of all of my research, this board is generally more open to it.
Anyways I'm about 6 days into it as we speak. So I will post to catch up to where I am.
Writing this log in hopes that Noobs seeking DNP information and logs will read and get something else to base their decision on. I know in my experience I think I've read just about every single log there is over the past 2 or 3 months, and not one of them suited my exact situation.
If you feel the need to flame, it's all good. But maybe you might try to understand that what someone is doing to their body is their own business, and maybe, just maybe you don't know the whole story behind their reasons or previous experience.
Let me explain that I do have a lot of experience with exercise and lifting. I know how to eat right (when I want to) and I can for sure lose weight with diet and cardio. Yes, I'm sure everyone in the world can. No need to mention it. Merely documenting my own experience, and providing information for anyone interested.
I don't plan on logging all my meals. But will give a basic outline and perhaps insight on daily change-ups every once in awhile.
I'm just coming off my 4-week PCT from an H-drol run. Gained a little more fat than expected.. But I am now a manlet monster.
Also, in February of last year, I was 196lbs and got down to 165 before starting that cycle. Ended up gaining about 13lbs (with a little fat) and kept most of it.
So, coming off a bulk and trying to cut back down to 162-165 again.
On with the show....
Stats:
22 Year old male
5'8 178 lbs
~17% Bodyfat
Likes long walks on the beach ... wait wut? haha
Supps using:
Gaspari Myofusion Chocolate (Can't get enough of this stuff best tasting/desirable protein for me)
Maxx Multi
Generic Wild Fish Oil
EC (when I need it.)
Green Tea (When I feel like it)
Superpump 250 for when I don't have the urge to lift but think I should anyway.
CMi Chia Pro
Running D's 250mg crystalline. Also realize that this is not actually 250mg of DNP and closer to 190mg so 200 for the sake of argument.
When I talk about dosage I sometimes I may simply say Caps instead of this dosage to avoid confusion
Knowing that 2 Caps = ~380 that is almost equal to 400mg Powder in my mind.
As we all know, you can't really plan a DNP cycle, only take it day by day and assess your individual tolerance and desirability for sides vs. how you feel.
This being said I "planned" to start running for days 1-4 @ 1 Cap (250mg)
Want to do a 15 day cycle. Although I may extend it. Plan to get to about 162-163 @ ~13% BF or
lower if possible.
Day 1: Actually a Tuesday night. Took 1 cap around 5:30pm and just hung out in my room doing some audio work until I decided to go to bed. Nothing out of the ordinary. A little warm, but that was an expected placebo effect I believe.
Day 2: Again took a cap at 5ish. No warmth to speak about really, but urine is starting to get highlighter yellow. The way it does when I take a multi. Lightens up when I drink more water, but never really gets clear. (Drinking about 3-4L a day) I won't get into details about what I've been eating but after stacking on some muscle, my maintenance has been raised a little to about 2600 and I feel i'm eating around 2000-2100.
Day 3: 1 cap at 5pmish. Nothing out of the ordinary during the day, feel the same as I always do at work. (walking about 12,000 steps a day is enough cardio for me) That night had a live sound gig to work for a friend's band at a real swanky restaurant. Had a $40 plate a of scallops (for free of course) and (1) Guinness. Followed by copious amounts of water. It was a hot place to start with, but I didn't really even sweat or feel overwhelmed by heat.
Day 4: Decide to proceed with 2 caps a day and assess how I feel. Took one at 8am before work. Took another at 5ish. Day off. So i went home to visit my folks for the weekend. Parents are health freaks, so I figured it would be great... but they chose this weekend to fall off the wagon for some reason. Needless to say, I perhaps went about 300cal over my maintenance. Starting to heat up now that I've eaten some junk food (Fish and chips to be exact). Greasy and carby. Made me feel surprisingly good actually.
Day 5: Halloween. You can guess where this is going. Woke up my mother bringing me an A&W teen burger. Wtf. ah well. Did some solid work for the old man. Worked up quite a bit of a sweat. Told my mom I was on DNP and explained what it does. She was cool with it. Dad already knew. (knew about the h-drol too.. how else do you explain a 13lb muscle gain in just 2-3 weeks?). 18 year old teenagers coming to trick or treat without costumes. hahaha get a life dudes, or next year I will camp in the bushes with my paintball gun. Warm night on the Canadian east coast. about 18 C.. weird for this time of year. Slept on the pullout in their basement with the fan on. Same Cap dosage as yesterday.
Day 6: Holy shit Holy shit. Sweaty McSweatSweat. Must be from all the crazy mini halloween chocolate bars my mom shoved at me last night. Needless to say, today was the first day I really felt the heat. But it still wasn't even THAT bad. Drank a protein shake for breakfast and wore a t-shirt on the hour drive home with the windows down. Another protein shake for lunch.Couple mini chocolate bars. 2 or 3 at 60 cals each. Dinner was Tuna/tiny bit of mayo w/asparagus spears and brocolli in a whole wheat pita. Another protein shake before bed.
Still @ 2 caps. Still sweating up a storm. Spunk is yellow and radioactive. That's fucking cool.
Today was the first day I've had a chance to lift, so I guzzled some Superpump and worked out till I couldn't move. No pump to speak of. Just tired. But feeling good about myself.
Day 7: (Today)
First time I've weighed myself.
169lbs
Sweet. That's about 9lbs in 6 1/2 days. Most was water, But I'll take that.
Last night was the only night so far I've had a bit of trouble sleeping. Just turned the fan up to 3 and woke up every few hours to drink some water. Got about 10 hours.
Woke up sweating like yesterday. Took a dose of EC so I'd be good for work. Protein shake, 1 Cap of DNP and my other random supps. Cold shower. Radioactive Piss. It seems no matter how much water I drink it gets progressively darker. I take this as a good sign that 2 caps is a perfect dose for me, and I won't raise the dosage until I feel it's starting to lose it's benefit.
Today's menu is:
Protein Shake
Protein Shake
Tuna w/Asparagus, broccoli and brussell sprouts.
Protein Shake
EC will blunt my hunger. Haven't used stims for awhile. As I'm typing this, I feel like I'm on crack at work. Thank god for this desk fan in between A/V setups.
I'll update again either tonight or tomorrow. Looks like I might try to run longer than 15 days. I feel no real bad sides and am loving the progress in the mirror.
Special thanks to Conciliator. I have learned TONS from reading almost all of your posts over teh intarweb. You're insights are incredibly valuable. And I encourage anyone interested in DNP or the science behind it to check out his posts.
Also a blanket thank you to anyone's log who I have read. and I'm pretty sure I've read them all.
It's experiences pro and con that help people decide if substances are for them.
Any questions.. fire away.
Thanks for reading.
