Colin, how is strength? Vascularity? Any negative impact on your creaky shoulder(s)? Increased acne? Sensation of increased blood pressure? Lethargy?
Strength is up slightly.Vascularity is so-so,I'd wager that if I were 10% it would be very prominent.
Nothing WRT my shoulders,positive or negative.
No acne,but that was never a side from test or var for me either.Blood pressure is up a bit,going by feel.
Lethargy is a big issue as shortly after lifting,I'd pass out for a couple hours.It came into play,IIRC,2 days into the Havoc cycle.However,I'd been taking in sub 1500 kcals for 5 days or so priori to starting on Havoc so that could be a culprit WRT lethargy.
I took in close to no cho throughout the day,just shakes and low carb FF milk.Somewhat like what Virtual Cyber was doing with interrmitent fasting as I'd eat a decent sized bowl of cereal i.e.Kashi Go Lean Crunch with low carb or sugar free oatmeal w/the ghey milk before bed.
I've been using vineger w/the last meal of the day,which I haven't regularly done before.Also been on Phenogen for a month prior to Havoc and am still on it.Low dose DNP (220) mg the past 4 days.I have cut back on stim usage later in the day so really,three's too many damn variables to attribute the lethargy to the Havoc.
Something that may also be noteworthy is that strength was remarkably subpar today.I certainly felt a jolt strength wise after a couple days on Havoc but I felt pretty damn weak today,for the most part.Still managed to lift w/intensity,but it was barely sufficient i.e.inordinate amount of trouble on decline bench w/3 sets of 185,whereas 225 has been the usual working set.However,the only caffiene I took in pre w/o was from a can of diet soda,and I usually ingest upwards of 500mg pre w/o.
WRT "feelings of well being",I do feel mentally clearer but pre-existing insomnia is largely negating that benefit.The poor sleep architecture is back in full swing,which I'd put down towards Havoc/double dosage wellbutrin.I haven't any insurance at the money but I'm going to suck it up and pay out the arse for a bit of AmbienCR,which is the only thing that's consistently done the trick.
