I have ordered some callipers to measure % body fat from that, I know I should of done this from the start but I honestly didn't think about it until a lad borough it up... not sure how much that will add to the logs, but might be interesting.
We are currently looking at about 1lb a week for body weight gain which is really good considering in eating close to mainintence.
Diet:
My day of eating yesterday was as follows:
Protein :
269g
33%
1083 cals
Carbs:
290g
40%
1307 cals
Fats:
102g
27%
903 cals
Total cals: 3293
Yes I know i'm a tubby monkey and could do with less cals, I will be dropping that down after the turk experiment.
Lifts
in another 6 or so weeks I will be going for new true 1RM's so we will see how accurate all this actually is. Feeling the strongest I have ever felt so im feeling confident im going to get hit some big numbers for me.
Analysis:
Looking back at these charts its actually pretty clear my I got a lot of gains initially and then it slowed down. Still at a greater pace than when I was not taking the Turk but not as explosive as it was at the start.
Regardless, in general it still feels like I'm new to the gym again, each week I can add on 0.5-1kg onto my lifts or add more reps. Previously I had to do a scheme like this:
4 sets of 4x10 of 90kg
4 sets of 4x8 of 92.5kg
Don't get me wrong, I was still gaining strength before this but it was a lot slower process. After I come off for a few weeks to see if anything changes I will for sure be continuing to take it.
I don't think I'm going to see much more in the way of weight change without upping my calories now as its starting to slow down. I'm going to keep my diet the same as see if I can elicit a minor recomp effect, this will be pretty easy to see if my strength continues continues to rises as my weight gain slows down.
Is there a feel
No changes here, I'll just reiterate what I have said before: There isn't a feel while i'm on Turkesterone, I am a pretty positive guy regardless and don't have many "down days". Turk hasn't changed this, my moods feel stable and unaffected really. Below is my subjective mood, energy, aches and sleep diary.
The grey marks where I didn't enter data, the blue mark indicates where I upped the dose.
I can't stress enough how useful a subjective diary is, before I plotted this out I thought in my head that had plotted mostly green and had felt no aches or lack of energy in this cycle. But you can clearly see struggled a few days into the new program with lack of energy and one day of particularly bad Doms.
Really the biggest thing this shows is that my subjective Doms are virtually gone since upping my dose.
I know this is a copy/paste from my last log, but nothing new here has come up since my previous log so though I may as well keep this section the same.
Final words
I'm going to do two more weeks at 800mg, before dropping it down to 400mg for a little while and see if the effects remain the same. I think im way over the effective dose and want to test that theory. After that I'm going to take a few weeks keeping everything the same - the Turk and see what happens. I will document that as well.
If you didn't see last weeks, I did my bloods and posted them so check that out if you're interested.
Cheers to everyone who is joining me on this little experiment. I'm having a lot of fun with it and to be honest with you all, i'm really excited with the results that I've gotten so far. I went into this experiment expecting both nothing and a legal steroid. Well, I think i'm getting something in-between from my current data. I'm beyond happy with the body part gains, even if they are transient lasting only as long as the experiment its a novel experience putting on what feels like lean mass this fast.
