Day 7  ----------Thur 12th Nov

 Start  weight -   14st-7lb
Current weight - 14st-9lb

   So weight up 2lb in 1 week, this is perfect, as i don't like the water bloat feeling, durring this 4 week cycle, i should reach my target weight of 15st. I have increased my cals, but don't seem to have put any bodyfat on, anyway you can be the judge of this, when i post after cycle pics.
    Todays workout will be legs, so i will update latter, after work. Feeling hard around chest and also seem to have lost a little fat from this area too.

Taz - 3 kids  mate, so a boring Vauxhall zafira (7 seater), but a good family car. Must admit i love the orange Ford Focus ( loved the Focus we had), Mrs tend to decide on colour first, then make. Fav colour at moment is the new green Ford focus

Re:Progress Log: CYNOSTANE (Sponsored by Predatop Nutrition) - 13 November 2009 01:35
Hi Ram

Interesting following the log here. To answer your question I have been on 20mg for about a week now I think and not trying to gain weight but recomp and improve strength at the same weight. I don't train like a bodybuilder at all but I have noticed a definite visual improvement all the same through my whole body. So far I would say it is qualitatively very similar to anavar with no side effects at all.

Now to turn to your log....When you say chicken, are we talking one or two chicken breasts? Chicken pieces? Full chickens?

Reason I ask is that I would advocate about 2g per pound of bodyweight on cynostane and wondered if you were coming up short. Also, I see you like your peanut butter but I would really advocate taking some more saturated fats like red meat when bulking up. It will definitely help strength and fat gain is not an issue if calories are controlled. I find it helps noticeably compared to a very "clean" diet.

Even if you are getting enough protein in, I think that you should ensure at least 50% of daily protein intake is met by food.

Other than that, I would consider changing the emphasis in your training slightly so that rather than shooting for PB's, add extra sets instead - this has always worked better with every athlete I know who has followed this protocol. Save the PB's for post cycle.

The rationale for this is covered here:

http://www.predatornutr...ptmising_prohormones.cfm

I can say without exception that these recommendations have worked very well on everyone I know.

Btw, with UKM just setup a log in the prohormones forum without the sponsored by pred bit and they will be fine with it I think.

    Reggie - It's whole chicken breast, i also snack out on peices of chicken breast aswell as raw carrots and turnip. I don't increase weights, i only increase reps when on cycle, then when doing pct i do less reps, but increase weights lifted. If you think i should increase volume, not reps/weight, i will give it a go. 
 Reggie - On a diff note is Fast action 11-test ok as a cortisol blocker, if not i will buy lean extreme/reversitol from yourself on Monday ready for my pct

1st otc pct

Reversitol
Cee
11-test or lean extreme
Cissus Drol

Day 8 ----------------Fri 13th Nov

Todays workout - Chest/Triceps

Incline cable flys - 4 sets 30 reps
Incline db press - 25kg x 12, 30kg x 10, 30kg x 12, 30kg x 10 

Seated cable extensions rope - 6 sets x 20 reps
Cable kickbacks rope - 6 sets x 20 reps
Cable pushdowns rope - 6 sets x 20 reps

   Excellent workout, decided to do high reps and feel the muscle working, i think it's a good idea to do this, say every 3rd session, then lift heavy on other workouts.
   Today is the first time when looking in the mirror, (I do it every day, vain git) i've felt/looked a little bigger. T-shirt feels tighter across shoulder/arms, obviously still early, but i think Cynostane is starting to kick in.
   Slight increase in strength, nothing much, but hopefully it will come over the next 3 weeks. Again no bad sides, still feeling great, up to now a very nice and enjoyable cycle to run.

T-shirts feeling tighter, so maybe time to go XL. Chest/triceps tomorrow, so hopefully an increase in strength from last chest/tricep workout. 

start weight - 14st-7lb
current weight - 14st-10lb

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.

   Day 15 ----------------- Fri 20th Nov

Workout -
chest/triceps -------2000 cals on Ex bike

Incline cable flys - 5 sets 20 reps
Incline db press - 30kg x 10, 30kg x 10, 30kg x 12, 30kg x 12

Cable ex with bar - 5 sets 20 reps
Reverse grip pushdowns with bar - 5 sets x 20 reps
Cable kickbacks with rope - 5 sets x 20 reps

  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. 

Diet

7am - Burnt 500 cals on Ex bike
8.30am - 50g protein drink
11am - Bowl porridge with water/milk, banana, syrup
1pm - train
2pm - 50g waxy maize starch, 5g taurine, 5g glutamine, banana
2.30 - 50g protein drink, 1 x chicken breast
5.30pm - Chicken tikka with 2 wholemeal pitta bread
10pm - 50g protein drink

Start weight ----  14st-7lb

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.

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

My experiences have been the same as above

 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
2pm - Beef dinner with veg
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

Diet 

7am - 500 cals on Ex bike

  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.

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.
