  Good workout with a couple of extra reps, but nothing major, biceps seem to be growing very well, but weight increases seem to be very slow. First time today iv'e had a mild headache, lasted about 2 hours, but that is the only side iv'e had in 12 days on this cycle. Felt very solid around chest/underarm area today, looking firmer in the mirror aswell.

   No sides still, feeling good, also up another 1lb, so up 4lb in 13 days, which i am very pleased with. Don't seem to have added any fat, but have decided to reduce my carbs and increase my protein. Will also do 30 min on Ex bike every morning before food.
    I have decided i would rather finish this cycle with a little less bf as i still beleive i will reach my target weight of 15st, which is another 3lb in my remaining 17 days on cycle. I have also burnt 1000 cals on Ex bike today.

10pm -  50g protein drink, tablespoon peanut butter   

Weight up 4lb  

Ram good session mate.
 
As for shut down and IE I kinda understand your logic but unsure how that would work as for me that stuff makes me feel like I’m still on cycle and so the only time I use it is like the first week of pct then I drop it and run other 6bromo type products.
 
Anyway the reason I picked up on your point is I ran a cycle whilst I was using RPM which is primarily a stimulant but also has test boosting properties in it.  To my surprise and delight I did not experience any ball shrinkage or dip in sex drive so chuffed as anything I was. 
 
Taking the above into consideration if it is something that bothers you then no reason not to take a test boosting product to help prevent it.
 
This is not based on science just my opinion and findings mate, but thought worth sharing.

  Excellent workout with high reps making sure i felt muscles working. Libido seems to be dropping slightly, but not to bad, anyway recovery should be easy enough after only 4 weeks on cycle. 
  Think i must be holding a little water, as weight was up another 1lb on wake-up. Pretty sure it's not fat as diet is strict, with plenty of protein and a few carbs.

It sounds a fairly good product fella although by the sounds of it more geared towards a good cutter than a bulker to me. Its good to hear you are having plenty on energy on cycle which would also be a nice advantage during a cut.
 
You seem to be feeling strength gains kicking in at 2 weeks which is fairly late when compared to PP and SD but good compared to EPI, or Hdrol (Im going by majority here and personal experience).
 
Remind me when did strength gains kick in for you with EPI as this will help me give it some perspective for myself?

Keep up the good work mate.

[size=3 font="times new roman"]It sounds a fairly good product fella although by the sounds of it more geared towards a good cutter than a bulker to me. 

  Yes mate have to agree, more of a cutter, but would be interesting to see results, if ran at 5 caps ed 

You seem to be feeling strength gains kicking in at 2
weeks which is fairly late when compared to PP and SD but good compared to EPI, or Hdrol (Im going by majority here and personal experience). 

My experiences have been the same as above

Remind me when did strength gains kick in for you with EPI as this will help me give it some perspective for myself?

 My 1st cycle, can;t remember what i did yesterday never mind 2 years ago mate, Epi deff longest to kickin i think about 20 days. 

Must say i think an SD clone ran at 20mg with cynostane would complement each other very well and will prob be my next cycle, after a good break..  

SD     20mg  - weeks 1 - 3
Cyno 30mg - weeks 1 - 6

Day 17 ---------------- Sun 22nd Nov

  Day off training today, but a few things i have noticed,  some people using Cynostane have noticed a rise in appitite, but mine has dropped a little, which makes it easier for cutting.
   On looking in mirror this morning my chest, shoulders and especially my traps, looked a lot bigger, this cycle is really kicking in now.  Again absolutely no sides whatsoever, feeling really good. 
  Decision to increase my protein, as mentioned by Reggie seems to be working, as weight is up another 1lb on wake-up, so up 6lb, so 1lb short of my target weight.

Diet  

8am - 500 cals on Ex bike
9.30am - 75g protein with water/milk, pear
11.0am - Bowl porridge with water/milk, banana, syrup

4.30pm - 1 x chicken breast, 75g protein drink with water/milk, pear
7pm - 1 x chicken breast, 75g protein drink with water/milk, strawberries
9.30pm - 75g protein drink with milk

New weight - 14st-13lb        + 6lb

Cycle is going very well so far mate, up 6lbs with no sides, and decreased hunger which works in your favour.

Nice to see your seeing the changes, and i like the way you say the cycle is really kicking in now! :D

  Without doubt my best workout so far on this cycle, an improvement on all bench presses, some equaling my PB's at listed weights. I think i would have got an extra rep on all lifts if i had a training partner, but safety 1st. Knew today was going to be good as i have felt diff all weekend, could feel  cyno was kicking in as i mentioned yesterday. 
   Appitite deff down a little, but don't mind, trying to  lose bit of fat for holiday, also libido dropping, but with only 12 days left, recovery should be easy enough. Burnt 2000 cals on Ex bike today, diet good, lots protein, roll-on next 12 days
 
Todays weight - 14st - 13lb     + 6lb

6 lb. gain in 17 days?!  Fantastic!  I know people often say, "Well I have done this before." But I can assure you that you will keep more of this mass and your strength will stay with you post cycle if it is run for a normal amount of time.  I am glad to see you making such great progress and I will continue to watch!

Reggie - Thanks mate, trying my best, strength kicking in, will be buying more of this for sure. How long will your Cynostane stock last, as i don't want to miss out, also what do you think of running a low dose of an SD clone along side Cynostane.

Taz - Only 2  mild headaches, prob not enough water, but im usually pretty good. This is a  very nice compound to run, feels very sim to Epivol but don't feel as warm. I think a low dose SD clone or your fav PP would go very well with cynostane, this is just my opinion.

  Another very good workout with a couple of pb's, 5kg increase on incline db press, so a lot of pb's this week, strength deff starting to come through on every session.
   Again no nasty sides, not even a single spot, no cramps, feeling great. Must say appitite down a bit and libido dropped off a bit, but not a concern.
   Weight up another 1lb on wake-up, i'm sure i haven't gain any fat, maybe holding a little water, time will tell. So up 8lb on this cycle, with 8 days to go, couldn't be any happier.
