If you need something extreme periactin will make you eat like a horse... clean or dirty.

What I found on "periactin"

cyproheptadine
Pronunciation: sip row HEP ta deen
Brand: Periactin

What is the most important information I should know about cyproheptadine?
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Cyproheptadine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities.
Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking cyproheptadine.

What is cyproheptadine?
Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine. Cyproheptadine blocks the effects of the naturally occurring chemical histamine in your body.

Cyproheptadine is used to treat sneezing; runny nose; itching, watery eyes; hives; rashes; itching; and other symptoms of allergies and the common cold.

Although not approved by the FDA for this purpose, cyproheptadine has been used to stimulate appetite in underweight patients.

Cyproheptadine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

Who should not take cyproheptadine?
Do not take cyproheptadine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A very dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have

glaucoma or increased pressure in the eye;
a stomach ulcer;
an enlarged prostate, bladder problems, or difficulty urinating;
an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism);
hypertension or any type of heart problems; or
asthma.
You may not be able to take cyproheptadine, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Cyproheptadine is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. Do not take cyproheptadine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.

Cyproheptadine passes into breast milk. Infants are especially sensitive to the effects of antihistamines, and serious side effects could occur in a nursing baby. Cyproheptadine is not recommended if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not take cyproheptadine without first talking to your doctor if you are nursing a baby.

If you are over 60 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from cyproheptadine. You may require a lower dose of this medication.

How should I take cyproheptadine?
Take cyproheptadine exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Cyproheptadine can be taken with or without food.

To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the syrup form of cyproheptadine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.

Never take more of this medication than is prescribed for you. The maximum amount of cyproheptadine that you should take in 1 day is 32 mg.

Store cyproheptadine at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a cyproheptadine overdose include extreme sleepiness, confusion, weakness, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, large pupils, dry mouth, flushing, fever, shaking, insomnia, hallucinations, and possibly seizures.

What should I avoid while taking cyproheptadine?
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Cyproheptadine may cause dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience dizziness or drowsiness, avoid these activities.
Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking cyproheptadine.

What are the possible side effects of cyproheptadine?
Stop taking cyproheptadine and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives).

Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take cyproheptadine and talk to your doctor if you experience

sleepiness, fatigue, or dizziness;
headache;
dry mouth; or
difficulty urinating or an enlarged prostate.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

What other drugs will affect cyproheptadine?
Do not take cyproheptadine if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A very dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects.

Talk to your pharmacist before taking other over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, or insomnia medications. These products may contain medicines similar to cyproheptadine, which could lead to an overdose of antihistamine.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

anxiety or sleep medicines such as alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium), chlordiazepoxide (Librium), temazepam (Restoril), or triazolam (Halcion);
medications for depression such as amitriptyline (Elavil), doxepin (Sinequan), nortriptyline (Pamelor), fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), or paroxetine (Paxil); or
any other medications that make you feel drowsy, sleepy, or relaxed.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with cyproheptadine. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.

Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist has more information about cyproheptadine written for health professionals that you may read.

What does my medication look like?
Cyproheptadine is available with a prescription under the brand name Periactin. Other brand and generic formulations may also be available. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about this medication, especially if it is new to you.

Periactin 4 mg--round, white, scored tablets
Periactin 2 mg per 5 mL (1 teaspoon)

I'm probably going to have a few am workouts too

they might get hit 3-5 times per week, lol... there's no telling, i'll do random bi stuff here and there but i'm really feeling them get worked on chest and back now that i'm doing pause reps.

REAAAALLLY SLOW... pause a few seconds at top of movement and squeeze... and hold at the bottom.

^^^ fuggin' tough, I love it

I smell growth!!!

I'm pretty much at the weight i stopped bulking at this winter too
There's no telling where i'll be in a few months!!!!

[SgtSlaughter]

We are odd.

Get outa my DOME!!!! lol... ok, off to train my pecs off

 

[Ghede]

Just came up with this...

Training Split

Day 1: Chest - Bi's -Abs
Day 2: Quads - Hams - Calves
Day 3: Chest - Bi's
Day 4: Back - Abs
Day 5: Delts - Tri's

Taking suggestions

I haven't drawn one of these up in a looooooooong time Willing to lift 7 days a week...but, having 1 or 2 off would be nice for errands

I will throw cardio in there as well... not a big deal... depending on the length of the workouts.

After the split is concrete... I will lay out exercises for each day and we will review that

Goal: Improve Chest drastically along with bi and tri thickness for overall better proportionality.

Just eyeballing this.. i was wondering how you might react in terms of growth and density to a slightly different gig... very old school, i know, but lets look at this as a vague suggestion ready to be modified, cool idea? hope i am not overstepping here, just holler and i will shut it.

Classic Three Day On, Double Split:

Days one to three, all the work is three sets max, 8 reps per set. Progressive Resistance/Submaximal Effort. Form is God, no forced reps, no negatives, just you and the highest level of true form and concentration possible. ALWAYS an increase in either weight or reps on the third set, even if its only a single LB. Constant progression.

Day 1
Legs and Delts
Squats, Heavy 45degree Lunges, SLDeads, and a super of HamCurls/LegExt
All DB's: Seated Militaries, Lateral Raises, Alternating Front raises, Bent over Laterals

Day 2
Chest and Tris
In order: incline DBs, Flat Bench DBs, decline DBs, and Heavy Cable cross overs. All with supra maximal static holds on the top of each movement: total flexing anhiliation on the full cross over of the cable flys.
DB press ups (elbows maintained as close together as possible: if they splay, you cant play)
Bent Bar Press Downs: elbows at front of rib cage, they must not move even one centimeter, complete hyperextension and static hold at bottom.
Reverse grip cable kicks OR Heavy DB Kicks, NOT both. elbows to back of rib cage on either of these, same flex at apex.

Hard and heavy core. Hiit Cardio.

Day 3
Back n' Bi's
On ALL back work: your elbows are doing the pulling- your hands, wrists and forearms are only invited to this party to hold onto the bar/handles/dbs. If you bend your wrist to incorporate ANY forearm strength: YOU ARE DONE.

Heavy wide grip lat pulls followed by weighted pull ups.
Close grip low rows, abdomen is the target NOT the sternum, your forearms must be parallel to the ground or its NOT a low row. at the apex, visualize trying to touch your elbows together.
Either Supinated one arm cable rows or one arm db rows. the key here is that your elbow should rub against your ribs as it goes by: as tight to the body as is possible. If your elbows splay out? done. no mas.

Day 4
A day of rest, and it was good. Much rejoicing was had by the Hill People.

Day 5
might be a day off depending on how your legs are doing, might be hard and heavy core followed by HIIT

If recovery is good....

Legs, Back and Shoulders: Dynamic. Higher reps, minimal rest, submaximal weights. Anaerobic threshold work days, very much like modified Tabata training. You can EASILY turn this into a Monster set hurl fest if you like.

Day 6
Chest, Bi's n' Tri's

same recipe as the previous day with addition of moderately high rep core work, UNweighted:
V-Ups
Yoga Boat Pose Static Holds
Full and Oblique Planks
Knee crunches on the edge of a bench: no hands. you gotta balance on these and get your heels as close to the floor as you can on one end and your knees must hit your chest on the other. Long and steady on these, 25 reps max. if 25 is too easy, slooooowwww dowwwwwn or put a 10lb DB tween your feet. That'll slow ya up some...




Day 7

Rest Day Two and your highest carb/calorie day of the week in preparation for tomorows heavy leg day...




Ok, bro, i know, i know, its so old school that most of the boys here are laughing at it. Tell you what, if you havent gone this way before, you might see some things along the path that might miss with more complex work.

Heavy. Steady. Strict. Correct.

I think you will like it. If not, maybe it will help some other folks... i use this five day out of seven or eight days for most of the folks i work that are really in need/desire some seriously hard core density and solid strenght gains. This is NOT a basic Hypertrophy program, but will gain you some mass. It is not a 'cutter' but on a restricted program this will most certainly slice you to pieces...

Remember what the old man says: 'Intensity Breeds Density, Quantity Destroys Quality.'

cheers mon.
