I've been on need2slin for a week now and haven't been able to report the same benefits as other users. I'm keeping an open mind and hoping that I will get the benefits when I've been on it for longer. I have noticed that I am able to get through an intense workout with great focus, and that I have an increase in appetite (I will feel hungry after a meal when I've taken need2slin 30mins before). I have gained 2.1kg since starting need2slin even though my food intake is down and is my diet is clean. The last 2 nights I have been extremely tired about mid evening. I started to take HCGenerate today and am hoping that this will give a lift before I start PCT.

Todays workout

Delts:

Seated rotating dumbbell press superset with dumbbell upright row - 3x15 @ 10kg for each (warmup)
Static lateral raise - 3x10 @ 4kg holding for 8 seconds (even a light weight gives me a massive burn on this)
W presses - 3 sets to failure @ 8kg
Barbell mini presses behind neck - 3x10 @ 10kg
Bar military press - 6x15kg, 6x20kg, 6x25kg, 6x30kg, 4x35kg
Cable rear lateral raise - 8x9kg, 8x11.5kg, 8x11.5kg (each side)

Traps:

Dumbbell shrugs - 10x28kg, 10x32kg, 10x34kg, 10x36kg
Upright barbell rows (wide grip) - 3x10 @ 30kg alternating with
Upright barbell rows (narrow grip) - 3x10 @ 30kg
Power cleans - 6x45kg, 3x45kg (I wanted the second set to be a full 6 reps, but my left wrist wasn't going to let me)
Seated rows with elbows high - 6x12 @ 45kg
Unilateral cable shrug - 3 sets to failure @ 68kg

My delts were fried and had a deep burn after the workout and the unilateral cable shrugs finished off my traps perfectly. I didn't notice until I was taking off my gloves, but my forearms had insane pump and felt like solid concrete. I didn't feel it at all in my forearms while working out, it was only when I touched them after I was done - maybe the sign that the need2slin is working?? I don't feel any leaner and haven't seen an increase in vascularity yet... maybe soon though...??

Felt really tired again last night at about 9:30pm. I'm going to try taking an extra need2slin on workout days, 30mins before the end of my workout so that my body can utilise all the nutrients from my post workout shake. I tried this today and seemed pretty good.

That's pretty usual for starting the n2slin, mine is up about 4 lbs so far this week too although my diet has been clean as a whistle and slightly reduced cals/carbs from where i was before beginning it. It will dissapate though and then you'll start recognizing the changes!

Thanks sbt2082, I'm glad to hear that. I thought that maybe it wasn't working for me. I'll keep going and see what happens. Is there a recommended length of time to stay on need2slin?

Weight will fluctuate untill it stabilizes in your system. Which is different for everyone. Keep up the great work!

Yes with glycogen weight fluctuation is typical.

I woke up today with a really full feel to my biceps, so it seems like need2slin is kicking in for me. I didn't feel as tired last night as I had the few nights before.

I did some isometric neck exercises and some ab work today, but other than that I will just take it easy for the rest of the day and will do nothing tomorrow.

I've lost the feeling of fullness in my biceps that I had yesterday, so maybe it was because I had trained it the day before. I've not noticed any changes since starting up HCGenerate yet...

Day off today.

I took my last shot of HCG today and started PCT, so it's going to be interesting to see how need2slin and HCGenerate allows me to progress.

I had an amazing workout today, I was really in the zone with total focus and perfect form. I'm happy that I can do such an intense workout that takes some time with no problems at all and end up leaving the gym feeling as if I could just keep going. I hit my chest from every angle and after finishing the chest portion of my workout it really felt done (although I was tempted and to give it another pasting after I had finished my whole workout, but thought I should just leave it). The thing that I was most impressed with was what happened to each muscle group of my arms because they were pumped like never before and every muscle was solid as a rock with some decent looking vascularity. Seeing such positive results leaves me more motivated to keep going and push even harder.

Now that I am taking an extra need2slin around 30 minutes before the end of my workout I decided to up the carbs in my post workout shake (all fast acting).

Had another awesome workout today, was really locked in and gave my leg workout everything I had.

Legs:

Breathing squats - 20x40kg, 20x45kg, 20x50kg, 20x50kg, 20x55kg, 20x55kg
Smith squats - 2x70kg, 2x80kg, 2x90kg
Half squats - 10x100kg, 13x100kg, 12x120kg, 8x140kg, 7x150kg, 13x160kg
Seated calf raise - 75x50kg each leg

Back:

Bent over barbell row - 10x30kg, 10x35kg, 3x10 @ 40kg
Wide grip pull up - 5 sets of 10
Close reverse grip lat pulldown - 12x36kg, 12x41kg, 3x12 @ 45.5kg
Cable seated close row - 5x10 @ 45kg

I've never had any issues with leg development, they were already pretty big before I started doing weights from cycling and since weight training they just get bigger and I am seeing some nice detail with my outer sweep and teardrop, I have seen more of a cut coming as well so hope to emphasise that to get a better look of separation in my quads. I've been doing a single heavy set with high reps for each calf after my upper leg workout and it really works for me because I now have a nice step detail to the main part of my calfs, looks totally sick and I hope it come up a bit more. I had a good feeling pump in my lats after my back workout and I do 2 back workouts a week at the moment because I want to bring my lats up and improve the slight flare I already have. I didn't do any deadlifts because I could already feel it in my lower back from all the squats I had done.

Overall so far I am happy with what need2slin has brought to my workouts and hope it continues and if possible gets better as I want to keep my training at this high level of intensity because I am really seeing the gains.
