Joined 18th August, starting September 1 ("project Des")

keep up the good work des! just double checking whats your current supplementation as of now.

No Explode - to be honest, not a fan, no stims do much for me. I've tried this and superpump before. IT tastes good though. But given costs, after omega program I will never use it again
Glutamine - 20-25g on training days
Creatine - 15g on training days
Leucine- I'm gagging 10g per day (tastes gross)
Beta Alanine - 3g per day (bought this ages ago - don't know if it worked. My lactic acid coping has improved since taking it, but that just could have been natural adjustment. Either way was cheap)

I have ditched WMS - the studies/logic all appear to be against it being necessary. I'd prefer to get those PWO carbs from milk, oats, etc. For whatever reason, gains/mood is better if I consume a lot of milk, and I don't bloat get fat on it, so I consume at least 1/2 litre pre/post workout.

Leucine was cheap - 10g per day is a large dosage and it about $.3USD per day
 
nice des....
yeah i tried no explode a bunch a couple years ago. back then it was great but pricey. i HATED superpump, made me sick everynight. Amp 02 was the best i've ever had so far. Nano Vapor was amazing but not as good as amp 02, plus nano vapor messed with my head. I might try assault or ill pick up some lipost3me next.
 
Well a shit weights session today - no PBS I think (maybe DB row - 50lbx5)

My headache related insomnia really shits me. It detracts from too many sessions. For whatever reason I look worse than 1/2 a week ago. I could just be being paranoid.

My thoughts too Des on WMS.
 
what do you mean worst?
also how is your water intake?

Also what Stims are you using and how often


LOOKING WORSE:
I think (and I could be paranoid) that my muscles look a bit less full and my abs look a bit fatter.

When flexed, top 6 ab ridges are very pronounced and a there is a hint at the bottom 2. Hence, any bf% change is instantly recognizable. My bf is too high for my abs to be too pronounced when completely stationary – although you can see them in the mirror still.

Possible explanations for elevated bf% include:
1. a massive cheat 4 days ago;
2. for last 3 days I have been eating kraft non-fat singles (macros 25P; 2F; 10C (lactose)). The formulation is different to US. However, they are absurdly high in sodium and could have caused bloat. Not sure. Never buy them but mum did, and I just used them instead of milk, which i respond to well and doesn't cause bloating issues. Note these haven’t made my headaches worse, I just look worse this week.

WATER AND STIMS:

My water consumption is very high – a gallon a day I think at least.

As for stimus, I just take no-explode, and the occasional coffee. I don't take any stims from about 3pm. Unfortunately, I have just incredibly treatment refractory headaches ("new daily persistent headache", know as the most treatment non-responsive)- have been to numerous neuros, been hospitalised, taking numerous meds, botox. The plus is that my tolerance of pain has improved so I love working out - ideally, I'd work out twice per day as its the only time I feel alive. Indeed, working out once per day max is the only negative of this program for me. Of course, lower quality sleep is a downer weights wise.

The headache downside (amongst many) is I graduated top 2% of one of the country's best law schools, got accepted at 5 of the 6 nation's best firms...and well had to quit my job (leave of absence), and may never be able to use my law degree (I've only had the condition for 3 years).
 
I may post pics in a week or two to see whether I'm being paranoid.

One thing I've noticed -even on stage 2 - is I appear to have excellent back/chest recovery. I feel the exercises really well while doing them, but recover in 2 days completely. Perhaps its why chest has always been my best bodypart (back wasn't b/c form sucked for exercises).

I have slightly slower (but good recovery) for other muscles.
 
Some PB's:
- Shoulder Press: 17.5x5; 15x9 (kg)
- DB Bench (65lbx7 but very good form - better than last time)
- DB row 50lbx7 right arm, less left arm
- Tricep Push down - 32kgx7 (but last 2 tad iffy)
- Bis/legs no PB
