My first DNP run w/ log & pics!

[Roger.Bologna]

Since I can't ever seem to find ANY before/after pics of DNP runs on the net, this will be my log/attempt. I will try to update this thread daily til I'm done.

Stats:
5 foot 9 and approximately? No idea... I haven't been on a scale in 6 months, but I'll let the pictures be the judge for you all. Used to be 240 pounds in 2008, and got down to 210 5 months ago. Been slowly losing ever since by eating right, and moving more. (mix between weights and cardio) Told myself I wouldn't give DNP a whirl until I got my workout & eating regimen down proper.

I know I could lose the rest doing what I'm doing, but this DNP is burning a hole in my pocket, sitting in my cupboard for the past two years, so I figured I'd do a little experiment and post up the results.

Cycle:
As Conciliator has mentioned/suggested, don't plan out your DNP cycle in stone, since it's all about assessing tolerance first. That being said, from personal experience, I'm fairly sensitive to anything new I put in my body, so I will be starting very low.

I have a bag full of two year old, black/yellow capsules @ 150mg crystal a piece. I think this comes out to 112.5mg's of actual DNP. Guy I got them from tossed a anti-moisture packet in there, lol... not sure if that helped keep them fresher or not, haha. (even in a plastic bag, this shit stained the hell out of my cupboard yellow)

So the goal is popping one 150mg cap around 1pm w/ food. I will do this for 4 days and on the 5th day, I'll assess if I want to go higher. Goal is a short 10 day cycle for now w/ hopefully no side effects.

Diet:
I do intermittent fasting, (loosely based around the leangains.com version) which may be dropped if I feel like shit on DNP. But will continue to eat super clean on a 40/40/20 split (carbs/protein/fat) which I may modify, depending on how I feel. Will eat around maintenance or slightly below. (2400-ish is my maintenance) Will keep some apples & bananas around for the fructose, which I read can help with lethargy, if I encounter any. Otherwise I will stick to complex carbs... sugar generally makes me feel like shit.

Diet will consist primarily of lean boneless/skinless chicken breast, Ezekiel sprouted grain & whole grain bread, steel cut oats, tuna, cottage cheese, a lot of salad, almonds, almond butter & almond milk primarily. I'll toss in some fruit as necessary.

Supplements:
Opti-Men multi
Fishoil - 3g's three times day w/ meals
R-ALA - 100mg's three times a day w/ meals
Acetyl-L-Tyrosine - 300mg's once in the morning
Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 500mg's three times a day
Vitamin E - 1000mg's @ night w/ last meal
Vitamin C - 1000mg's time released twice a day
Mega B-Complex - once a day, after first meal
Quercetin - 1000mg's twice a day
Yohimbine HCL - 15mg's first thing in the morning
Might also pickup some Glycerin & Pyruvate, we'll see...
Plenty of water, some V8 on hand, Pedialyte & Benedryl just in case.
Couple tablespoons of Brags Apple Cider Vinegar morning & night to try and maintain a good ph balance... since as I understand it, DNP makes your bodies ph balance tip towards acidic. ACV should help as a good alkalizing agent... (along with all the almonds I consume)

No EC stack... Ephedrine fucks with me bad. Never been able to handle that stuff in the past. Which is why I won't touch Clen. So just coffee & Modafinil for energy. Modafinil also doubles as a great appetite suppressor.

Will take my temperature throughout the day, to make sure everything is fine. Have a blood glucose meter as well, to make sure I don't go hypo. (I'm not a diabetic...)

Plan on hitting the weights, light, 3 times a week, Monday/Wednesday/Friday... undecided on the cardio on alternate days... may leave that out.

Question:
Has anyone taken DNP on a empty stomach? What was your experience?

Before pic attached...

Even tho DNP makes you retain water, I'll still post a mid cycle pic again in 5 or so days.

 

[Roger.Bologna]

Down the hatch, first 150mg capsule... average temperature reading taken a few times was 97.6

Will take it again in a couple hours.

 

[Roger.Bologna]

2 hour mark - temperature taken like a half dozen times... 99.0

I don't 'feel' hotter or any side effects to mention so far, other then the increased temperature on the thermometer.

Blood Glucose is @ 82 mg/dL

dnp on empty stomach at times made me feel like shit.. that amount though, probably not. temp might rise slightly, but body will adapt and bring it down... 600-800mg i was at 97 and 98

i'd drop calories 500 to 750 under maintenance, with that start wit those pics + 400mg of actual dnp for 2 weeks youll be pretty ripped

Yeah, I was thinking of eating around 2k calories the more I think about it... which should put me close to -500 calories below my BMR, and just lean towards a hard cut for a couple weeks. Might as well get the most benefit out of DNP while I'm on it.

Subbed. Looking forward to seeing your results! Good luck! Like you said, it doesn't seem that anybody does b4 and after pics, so thanks! I'm hoping to start a cycle soon too.

Yeah that's the thing that irked me about DNP... all these miraculous stories and the science behind how and why DNP works, in safe doses is sound, but never any pictures from anyone.

I hate doing before & afters myself, but in the name of science! haha

 

[Roger.Bologna]

Well, tonight was Shoulders & Chest night and I will have to say... for 6 months, my workout regimen, has been consistent every week and strength goes up on a steady curve.

Well tonight a couple new things, 1. right after my first set, I was already starting to sweat, that never happens... 2. i felt like I was always out of breath, sorta like a constant, mini asthma attack (I've been an asthmatic my whole life, so I pay attention to my breathing very closely)

Strength, while not weak, definitely did not improve like on the steady, increased curve that I'm used too.

Some of this may be in my head, since these are all the effects I've read that can happen and being I'm only on my first day and a fairly low dose... take the above with a grain of salt.

Temperature back down to normal range... 97.5

 

[Roger.Bologna]

Odd night sleeping... a bit of insomnia, but I don't think it was the DNP. Might of popped too many caffeine capsules before working out, not sure. But felt very restless most of the night...

Since the nights get pretty cold here still, I usually still sleep in a hoodie and under the blanket. Well forget that last night, I was definitely hotter then norm and woke up with my pillow slightly damp... all tho very slightly. Definitely a bit more parched then usual as well throughout the night.

Temperature is fine this A.M.... 96.5, energy is fine, no hunger cravings or lethargy... going to still continue my intermittent fasting if I can throughout this. Will test my blood sugar here around noon to see if it's abnormally low due to the DNP. Decided to skip morning, fasted LISS cardio... not gonna push it this first time around I think... and stick to the weights.

unless I missed something, it doesn't sound like you are competing. DNP is a very dangerouse drug, well, actually it's classified as a poison, prevelent in insectisides or for use to make lumber dry faster. My query for you would be, why not go to tren a? It will kick the weight off and you will get two benefits, growth of good muscle and not poisoning your self. Carefull with the dnp. Good to go (depending on source, of cours) with the tren A. I like the tren 3x, its like sus, so you don't have to pin yourself everyday. Don't want to sound like your ma, but dnp is dangerouse, almost as bad as insulin. Now, make sure you look both ways before crossing the street! LOL

 

[ergomaniac]

theres also guys like clarence bass. more or less natural, exept one cycle i think. and ripped to the bone.

I've done my home work... I know what I'm doing, I'm good bro. But I appreciate the concern.

Not interested in AAS... have never touched the stuff. Me & needles don't go together very well anyways... haha

@RB hey man, your post about your shoulder workout and not having the increase that your used to- during your sets, did you have a nasty lactic acid burn, or was the strength just not there like usual? I've been using Clen and it gave me a hellish muscle burn quickly!

 

[Roger.Bologna]

No lactic acid burn, just a general feeling of weakness...

Have you tried contrast showers for lactic acid build up? I swear by them when lactic acid becomes an issue for me... beta alanine helps as well... but you may know all this already.

when i was on 3x dnp i felt quite fine in strength--less energy for certain movements but deadlifts were still easy to do, everything else ...not so much lol

 

[someanddone]

Proken, did you say that tren a is like sus, in regards to pinning frequency? Just making sure, because that is a moronic statement. How bout some research (or intelligence) before giving advice.

you read it wrong, he said he likes the tren 3x, aka 3 blends of tren, which is like sust, multi blends of test.

to knock down on the pinning.

 

[someanddone]

Gotcha, my bad, but that raises another question. What is the third tren esther? Everyone knows about tren ace and tren enth, so what's the third?

parabolan?
