Vector, Follidrone 2.0 log/ Show prep log.

[bcrocker]

I'm in - I bought two vectors on the first day just waiting to get started - can we run this year round or would it be smart to cycle it

I can't say for sure but I think in the release thread they said since its non suppressive you should be fine running it year round.

One thing that I have forgot to particularly mention in these logs that just became apparent to me today is the speeded recovery time that I have while taking this stack. I have had very few instances of severe DOMS after my workouts all while increasing the intensity almost daily!

Weighed In this a.m. 150.8 up a bit but was lower on cals today, busy day and not a huge lift session. Shoulders, abs, forearms. (Shoulders are not my favorite)

O.H. Press 135x10 previous was 135x8. Overall focus and drive was on point considering I don’t appreciate training shoulders (IDK WHY)
Finished with 20 min of biking

Today the Libido was through the roof!

Trained back today again! With results that were on par with all other posts. I increased the weight by 10 lbs. on my bent row and pulled an extra rep compared to my starting weight/reps pre stack! (Today 255x9/start 245x8) I had a wicked back pump as well, I would place it as one of the best I have ever had. Vascularity is getting pretty insane and leaning out/hardening more and more each day.
I had another busy day and wasn’t quite able to get the 2500 cal mark again. The hunger that I was experiencing earlier seems to only be during the morning now after my first dose but kind of subsides throughout the day.

** I will say that it is very impressive the amount of daily energy I have since taking this stack on a lower cal diet than what I’m used to. My focus and drive in the gym is crazy and has not suffered once! I have always looked forward to lifting and working out but for the last 12 days it has been amplified significantly!

haha yes I have mentioned this but will fill you in... I wake up at 5:30 a.m. and take 2 vector and 1 Follidrone, 11:30a.m I take 2 more Vector before eating, and then 2 Vector and 2 Follidrone Pre-workout which is about 4 or 4:30 p.m.

Yea its been quite amazing. Most I have ever lifted while at this weight for sure! I've been heavier and lifted heavier but being on such low calories I have never made this much strength progress.

This is a game changer for sure! I can't see anyone looking at SARMS that should not be looking at VECTOR first.

pretty much on par with everything. Loaded 385 on the deadlift and pulled three. All my warm up sets before felt light! I’ve noticed that is kind of on par with all major lifts the warm up sets kind of feel light.

Today was kind of different as far as training and eating for me. At work we just got wellness time back (exercise time) but I don’t like lifting at the base gym because it’s always packed with people and hard to follow a structured workout. So after work I did a few accessory lifts and 25 min cardio. I left and went to my personal gym where I proceeded to carry out my chest day training approximately 1 hour later. I was very low on carbs prior to both training sessions but still did decent. Benched 255x2 for 2 sets which was not amazing but felt acceptable for the circumstances. I have decided that I will have to adjust my Heavy lifting days to fall on opposite days if my wellness time to reap the maximum benefits of my training. And make sure to up the carbs just a bit earlier in the day on these days as well.

My weight seems to be creeping back up from the 148 that I dropped to after the first week to the 150s again… I have gained 0 fat and am noticing slow leaning out which is the overall goal. Don’t think I have a whole lot to lose in the next 10 weeks. Trained Hamstrings today increased weight once again 285 for a set of 12. Started out at 275 for a set of 8 if I’m not mistaken. Great lifts all around! Libido seems to have stabilized over the weekend. Not that its gone maybe I’m just more used to it.

• I think that aside from the gym performance increases my favorite part is the overall feeling of just focus, and well-being that is received from this. I have not had a day that I don’t look forward to going to the gym even though I have been crushing workout after workout and living a pretty busy lifestyle. Even out of the gym I feel more engaged in work and family life.

I think this is an increase in beta endorphins. You just feel good throughout the day.

Noticed a lot more leanness today while weight is still floating in the high 149s to 150.8 range. I can start to see some ab veins coming in while posing and my oblique’s/serratus are getting more defined.

Training today was back it all felt so light lol… I decided to try bent row of 275 which is 30 lbs. heavier than my starting weight before vector/follidrone and repped it for the same amount of reps. Over all felt great. Did 20 min walking at 15% incline as cardio about an hour before my lifting session.

I have decided to try dosing a little bit different just to see what I like more…. I am taking 3 vector caps and 1 follidrone at 9:30 one vector cap at 11:30, and then 2 vector and 2 follidrone at 4:30 before training. I just want to get a majority of these around my biggest eating periods in the day and see if it makes any difference. I will try this for 2 weeks.

This Saturday the 31st will be 3 weeks using this stack. I still have another tub of vector and 2 more of follidrone! Can’t wait to see where this takes me!

Going to be doing a little catchup today.

29 March 18

Took today to up the fat calories a little bit more than usual but kept my carbs lower. I have not really had any hyperglycemic issues even if the carbs are lower than normal. All in all a pretty decent day. I think that I like the little change I have made to the dosage a bit better. It seems to really kick harder with a 3 cap dose before my lifts which helps now that I am doing the cardio 3 days a week before my lifting sessions.

Trained arms today. Pumps are still pretty crazy, the veins are getting more and more pronounced with every week. Nothing major to report for increases on this session.

Dropped the fat back down pretty low today and honestly didn’t have as many carbs as I had planned either regardless felt pretty decent throughout the day and didn’t lose any energy for the gym.

Sat 25min in the steam room instead of doing cardio today to get a little mental recuperation!! Love the wet sauna!!

Trained shoulders today… stayed away from bb presses as I was feeling a little tightness in my upper chest and back of my left shoulder so used dumbbells instead to give them a little more free range of motion. Endurance on all lifts today was way up… I feel like it was the biggest improvement in reps yet… Possibly in part to the lack of heavy bb presses?!

Started today out early with 30 min of inclined fasted walking.

Trained early this morning about 1 ½ hrs after walking, got some good amount of carbs and protein in beforehand and gave it a chance to settle in.
Leg training was quite well today up again on all lifts… squat increased by 3 reps. Will add more weight to my next squat session. Walking beforehand must have really had a good pre-exhausting effect on the legs because my legs were extremely sore later in the day than normal.

Today puts me at 9 weeks and 5 days till show time! Getting extremely excited especially with the progress I have been seeing through this cut.

Easter today which means family, driving, and lots of food and questions. I brought my own food and ate very well. Which got me lots of attention for not eating an Easter feast with everyone else… OH WELL lol.

Yes I have been reaping some pretty great rewards from the training,eating, and ofcourse the supplimentation. I could not ask for more at this point everything is already going better than I could have expected.

The leaning effect continues today once again noticed more definition in my obliques and serratus. Only increases my determination and focus even more.

Walked for 30 min at 13% incline 3.3mph as my pre-lifting cardio, lifted chest 1 ½ hrs later.

Left shoulder/upper pec is still a little stiff so didn’t push it super hard today still benched 250x3 which is an increase in weight from my start, had a bit more in me but didn’t want to overwork that shoulder/pec. Body weight is staying relatively the same now in the mid 148’s but leanness is improving every day! Posing is really getting exciting!

Ive been finding that keeping my fat around the 40 mark is where I notice the daily leaning out, mid 50’s and 60’s I don’t get much changes from day to day. Will be sure to add in a day here and there that are higher fat though as I feel I need them.

I don’t know if it’s the difference of how I am taking the dosage compared to the start of this run or not but I feel that the leaning effect really started to take effect around that same time as I reflect upon my discoveries. Once again feeling a bit leaner today. Also endurance during my inclined cardio seems to be improving as well.

Lifted back today… shoulder was feeling better today. Last back session I had a wild hair to jump 30 lbs on my bent row from my starting weight, followed suit again today and added one more rep which is pretty wild to me. Previous week 275x8 today 275x9.
Followed with 30 min walking 15 percent incline 3.5mph- as stated earlier this doesn’t suck nearly as bad as before.

N.P.

first dosing protocol for Vector 2 caps, 3 times a day 5:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. and Pre-workout 4:30 p.m
Follidrone was 1 cap 5:30 a.m. 2 caps pre-workout 4:30p.m

current dosing protocol 9:30 a.m 2 vector 1 Follidrone, 11:30 a.m 1 vector, 4:30 pre-workout 3 vector 2 Follidrone

Reason for change is I wanted to try getting them in around my biggest eating times throughout the day. and i wanted to try a bigger dose of vector pre-workout.

Ok, I will have to try dosing more Vector pre-workout - and will have intra workout carbs to back it up.

For sure there seems to be some acute effects. If you can balance the caloric and glucose demand while taking it pre workout there is a magic zone.
