RT's blast and cruise log

[RThoads]

Correction: the post and workout for Oct 31st should have been listed as Saturday.
I used my last pull workout as a template and then changed any weights or lifts and must have left a typo of the day being listed as Weds. Not sure it matters to anyone, but for accuracy sake let me simply state it was Saturday 31 Oct 2015.

Update: I have continued to hold the 207 lb body-weight. Therefore, it was not any error or fluke, for some reason (maybe the GH) I jumped 3 lb in a week.

I guess testing is gonna be the only way to tell if the GH is gtg.
So you gained 3lbs , hows your strength? Still feeling strong?

yeah, I still been hitting some PRs, but rep PRs as I am not trying right now for new max. But rep PR sometimes are harder anyway and significant.

I will get bloods taken next week -- Serum GH, IGF-1, and typical hormone panel.

Today was the first day I felt some real sides; I had pretty noticeable tingle in my hands -- I have never felt this before and can not think of anything else that would have caused it.
So for the record I got the pins-and-needles tingle today in hands and holding onto the 207 lb bodyweight. I have no explanation for these things. Bloods will tell us what is the cause, or at least what is not.

Great log, RT. Your effort in recording all of this information is appreciated. I'm sure you got just as much back from posting. Inspires me to do a log whenever I decide to do a blast one day.

Looks like you had a good run! I'm happy for you brother. Are you glad you chose to run that Npp?

 

[LifeSTRONG]

Sorry, haven't been able to completely keep up with the log.. I see you have gained some weight up to 210 now congratulations [emoji322], have you dropped bf along with that?

Keep up the great work brother, that's what keeps this community strong!

 

[RThoads]

Yes, I am very happy I trusted my gut about how I was feeling and stuck with it. I had zero joint pain for the first time in years. Simec results turned out positive and all my lifts are up. My only regret is that I lost a brand new vial to Simec for the testing efforts and that I did not stock up on more from that batch.

Thanks,all kinds of gains in weight and lifts but no I did NOT lose any bodyfat; I mostly likely put on a little but nothing very noticeable. I started at 15-16% range and I am now at about 16-17%. Overall very happy with results on such a light dosage and short cycle. Now I am just eager to do my bigger next run as soon as possible.

That's the game man. You never know when you'll have a good batch or a shit batch. It's just as easy to unknowingly stock up on shit. Lol. I've been there before.

I was talking more to, before you started the cycle you were unsure about what to run. I just remember being in the discussion and mentioning Npp for your true first blast since you were E2 sensitive and wanted to blast. I could be mistaken ... But thought it was you. Getting older and memory is fading. Lol. I'm partial to Npp, if you can't tell. Either way man... I'm happy you have a good log and good gains. 210 and plenty of PR's! Hats off to you man.

As always, thanks for your contribution in the log, simec testing, labmax, money and most important time.

Thanks again, and yes that was me and I remember and appreciate your help very much!
Next run I will be mostly test-E and will simply have to up the AI, but I will be trying low dose Deca and I hope get to enjoy the same benefits to my joints as with the NPP.

In summary, the NPP was perfect. I just am going long esters next time around to pin less. Its all a learning experience.

Just glad to help man. Since you're gonna be running mostly Test E next run, See if you can get a Pharma grade AI. If you can get it prescribed now maybe you can start stocking up before your next run. If not, a few have used The pharmacist AI and they seem to work ok. But knowing you're sensitive I'd try to go US pharm grade if possible.

I hear you on long vs short esters. Pinning EOD gets old fast. You're body will thank you for less pinning. It truly is a learning experience. We're all learning and taking this journey in stride brother.

Does your GH make your heart race? I ran some pharma GH a few months back and at 4iu's a day my heart was racing. I finished one kit and jumped off. I hear so many good things about it, wish it would've worked out for me.

No, no heart racing here at all. Only (potential as I do not yet know if it is good GH) is a jump in bodyweight and one day I had hand tingle.

UPDATE:
Got two blood draws today -- one at the endo appt, and one later (I nailed it exactly 3 hours after GH pin) that I purchased myself for the GH and IGF-1. In all I will have info on my TT, E2, LH, FSH, GH, IGF-1, metabolic panel, CBC, and Lipid profile!

Hit both arms for those bloodworks, and also feel just drained so I am going to take a few days off from training to just recover.

BONUS:
My GF started pinning test prop at 5mg ED (I had a left-over vial and a half left).
She did not want to make an account or log here so I will just add anything I learn from her along the way as a side bonus for those that follow my log. Previously she had taken 1 gel-cap a day of Andriol from "Pharmasist" for a 6 week run but did not feel anything and we did not observe any noticeable gains, recovery, or sides. She plans on getting bloods in about two week to check levels and make any adjustments.
