8-Week Test/Stak Log with Lab Work
I got my bloodwork done a couple of months ago, and my test measured at 340. This is at the very low end of the spectrum for a 43-year-old (262-1593 is the range), enough that my doctor doesn't want to supplement it. So it's time to find the answer to the question: Does test/stak measurably increase test levels?
By the time I bought all the supps for the two months, plus the three saliva tests, I thought about calling this log "Braindrop Makes Universal Rep's Car Payment", but didn't. :) Here's how I'm breaking it down. First, saliva tests at the start (today), after the first cans of Test & Stak (3 weeks), and at the end. This will provide some hard data. My program: Wake Up: Pak + Flex Yoga Breakfast: Test 45m pre-workout (or mid-morning): Stak 30m pre-workout (lifting days only): Pump Immediately post-workout (lifting days only): Nitro Bedtime: Omega I just finished up a week on the road followed by a week at the beach on vacation, so I'm up 9 pounds from my low. I expect most of it to be gone by the end of the week -- insufficient hydration combined with alcohol consumption. Starting weight = 225. I'm doing a 3-day a week split, with 30 mins of cardio following lifting. The non-lifting days will either have an hour of elliptical or a 5k run. I'll take one day/week off (probably Saturday). brain

My chest and biceps are thrashed from yesterday. I don't usually get DOMS until the evening after, but it was kickin' this morning, and has grown worse.
Back day is tomorrow, I'm sure that will loosen things up :) 9-24 Nutrition Breakdown ------------------------ 2,208 cals (deficit of 999) 245g protein (46%) 169g carbs (31%) 57g fat (23%)

Have fun bro!

That's good to hear, thanks for dropping in! Have you continued to cycle it? I'm curious as to how long the test boost (if any) will last after I cycle off.

I managed to trip over a lawn chair yesterday while taking out the trash. Fortunately, I realized when I hit it that I'd break my ankle if I didn't go with it, so ended up on my ass with a lawnchair on top of me holding my ankle for about 5 mins. It feels ok today, though it's swollen.
My back is thrashed from yesterday as well, good times! My nutrition breakdown is ugly -- it was my monthly boy's night out at a local brewpub. 2 beers, a vodka tonic, and some Macallen for dessert. 9-25 Nutrition Breakdown ------------------------ 2,136 cals (deficit of 1037) 161g protein (31%) 196g carbs (37%) 31g fat (13%) 57g alcohol (18%)

Unfortunately I haven't had the cash flow since then but I'm working on it. I want to run another cycle before the new year.
