SD Pharmaceuticals Hormone Support Stack Log

[rey023]

Hey guys for the next month I will be logging SD Pharmaceuticals Hormone Support Stack.

Which is:
DAA
Dim
Acacetin99







Before we get to it. Big thanks to guys at SD Pharmaceuticals and especially TeamBarbarian for hooking me up with this stack. Love this opportunity.

I will try to post here as often as possible. Will cover the following:

general feeling
how I feel at the gym
mood
strength
how I look
libido
any side effects
anything else that comes to my mind

The big issue for me is possible joint pain from DAA. I have tried it in the past on two occasions. Both times experience a lot of pain and burning in my knees. Hopefully won't have the same problem this time around.

Here is little info about me:

28 years old
240 lbs
6'1
10 years of working out

I recently started a cut. Lost about 10 lbs in a matter of 6 weeks. So hopefully this stack will also help with my cut.

I follow an IIFYM diet, but my meals tend to look like this lately.

Meal 1

Oatmeal 60 g
1 or 2 scoops Gold Whey Standard (depends if it is a workout day or not, it is a workout day I save 1 scoop for post workout)
100g raspberries
30g almonds

Meal 2 3 and 4

210 g turkey
70 g brown rice
tabasco
60 g red beans
40 g tomate paste
12g flaxseed oil (meal 2) or 12g olive oil(meal 3 and 4)


Meal 5

3x Large eggs
10 g almonds

That's about 240 g protein, 90g fat and 258g carbohydrates. 2800 kcal.

Other supps I take daily:
Multivitamine
Creatine
Betaine
Fish oil
Cissus
PreW

I will be taking it prior to my first meal and prior to my 3rd meal.

DAA 2 caps
Dim 1 cap
Acacetin99 1 cap

All that twice daily.

Tomorrow will be the first day. Gonna report later.

Good luck with the joint pain rey023. Hope you have a better experience with DAA this time.

Thanks. Fingers crossed, so that I don't experience this again.

[rey023]

So day 1 is in the books. Took as mentioned in the first post. Did arms today and had one hell of a workout. Great pump, mind muscle connection, everything on point. Obviously it is too early to get those from this stack. What I can tell from day one is that pills are easy to swallow, no digestion issues or stomach issues.

Here's a recap of my workout.

All done in superset fashion.

Rope ext
Preacher BB curls
FST7 7x 8-12

Close BB press
Standing bb curls
3x 6-12

French press Eze bar
Spider curls close grip Eze bar
3x 6-10

Overhead single cable ext
Hummer DB curls
3x 12-20

BB shrugs
combine with
DB shrugs
4 x 15-20/8-12

Plus some forearms moves.

Finished with 15 min treadmill.

Gonna attach a picture later.

[TeamBarbarian]

Good start to your log! Great stack... looking forward to how you respond to it.

I haven't heard of the possibility of joint pain from DAA... hopefully with the anti-a and DIM it's not as much of an issue.

(Good thing we're hooking you up with the Joint Freak formula next!!)

You might want to check with TeamBarbarian but as recommended by others I am taking 4 DAA a day.

That is what TeamBarbarian recommended to my brother for him to take when he was on DAA

[rey023]

That's exactly what I am taking. 4 caps a day

This, twice daily, as stated in the first post:
DAA 2 caps
Dim 1 cap
Acacetin99 1 cap


Here is a pic from yesterday's arms workout.



Need to lose that body fat ASAP !!

[rey023]

Second rest day on a row. Slept fine tonight. So far no side effects. Have a biking trip today and will be back at the gym tomorrow and on Sunday, working chest rare delts and triceps and lats with traps, bicep and forearms.

Sorry when I read the first post I missed that under your supplementation.

Arms are looking huge.

What is the goal you have set to hit for your weight and body fat?

[rey023]

Robert "Jeep" Swenson arms!

Thanks, but not even close. He had them gigantic.

What is the goal you have set to hit for your weight and body fat?

I don't go by the numbers, mirror will tell. I only use scale to see how much I am losing a week. If I lose 1 lbs /a week I should be OK.

[rey023]

5 days in. Did chest with rare delts yesterday. Had a great workout. Felt really motivated and focused entire workout.

I think I start noticing some benefits from this stack. First of all I slept a lot better over the past two nights. Usually I wake 2-3 times per night to piss. Because I drink around 2 gallons of water daily. Woke up once each of last 2 nights. In the morning ready felt better, much more rested even though slept as many hours as previously 8.

So far no changes in body composition. Nor do I experience any joint pain, which was a big deal for me, going into logging this stack, especially DAA. Hopefully it stays that way all the way through.

[rey023]

Did lats with traps yesterday. Workout went great. Felt very focused and energized.

Here is a recap of what I did:

Wide pulldowns to chest
Superset with
Close pulldowns
4 x 10-15

Machine hummer rows
Fst7 12-8

Db rows
4x 6-12

Close cable seating rows
3x 12-15

Machine hummer rows very wide
Superset with
Bb overhand rows
4x 12-10

Bb shrugs
4x 20-25

Db shrugs
4x 8-12

Breaks 45-60 sec

Woke up very energized. Slept even better, only woke up once. It is really an improvement for me as I tend to wake up really often during night. Another peasant surprise was a morning wood plus libido is definitely up, which makes my gf really happy heh therefor my mood is also better. Personally those are the things I expect from stuff like this. So I am really happy with results thus far.

So far I don't even experience any sides at all. Joints don't hurt which is just great. No changes in body composition so far.

Great to hear you're starting to feel it kick it (but without the joint discomfort so far)!

Hopefully you start to see the body comp changes soon. Looking huge though!

Hopefully. I am cutting 25g of carbs tomorrow, so fat should move once again even further.

Here is a quick pic from yesterday with a buddy of mine.

[SDPharma]

So far, so good!.......

Looking forward to the updates....

[rey023]

Sorry it's been really busy and messed up couple of days. Despite a lot of stress and hectic schedule I was feeling good. So to speak some inner peace with hehe

Each day I feel it working more and more in regards of my libido. Sex drive is much better and morning wood is a pleasant problem to have every morning.

Haven't slept too much over the last 3 days, I did fall asleep easier, but I assume it's because I was super tired. Today I will finally get a lot of sleep, so I expect to be very well rested and energized tomorrow.

Even though I didn't have the best scenario the past days, I was able to have a good mood, without being all nervous or aggressive towards people that pissed me off.

I think I might be losing some water, but again it might be due to messed up 3 days. I manage to keep my diet in check, but sleep and water intake were different story. Tomorrow we are getting back to doing things right way. Hopefully gonna have some more concrete information.

Workouts were decent. They weren't the greatest, but I manage to do what I had to. The mind muscle connection and pumps are different story. Gonna have great workouts over the weekend to make up for those 3days

Here is a recap of both workouts:

1.Side L raises with 25 lbs plates
3x 15

2. Db military presses, last set with 2 drops
4x 6-12

3. Side L machine
Fst7

4. Front 45 lbs plate raises with turning at the top
4x 12-15

5. Leg raises hanging
5x 15-20

6. Jack knife
5x15-20

7. Russian Twist
5x 15

Arms day

1. Rope ext
With
Cable curls

4x 10+10+10
You do 10 reps, increase weight do 10 more and increase weight again and do 10 more, that's one set.

2. French press Eze bar
With
Straight bar preacher curls

4x 8-12

3. Cable pushdowns
With
Reverse Cable pushdowns
With close Eze bat spider curls

4x 12-15

4. Overhead Cagle ext single hand

Hummer curls

4x 12-15/12-10

5. Roll ups with 10 lbs plate
3x till failure

6. Bb wrist curls with palms facing up
With
Bb wrist curls with palms facing down

4x 15-20

7. Bb shrugs
4x 20-25

8. Db shrugs
4x 12-10

Ad you can see I clearly enjoy going to is move first in my workouts, to get blood in there before the compound lifts. This does not make me a lot weaker on my compound moves but it allows for more mind muscle connection and lessens the possibility of injury. Plus it does make it easier on my joints. Going so high in reps on for example bb shrugs, allows me not to shrug with 550 lbs, but instead I go with 270 I get a good pump.

[rey023]

So I hoped for good workouts over the weekend, but ended up with a flu. Not the best exchange in the World.

Obviously feel like crap. Even though I have a flu and fever and my throat is sore as hell I managed to get decent sleep.

Already seeing myself couple pounds lighter , which is no fun. Hopefully I can get back healthy ASAP, to get back on track.

Sorry I don't have anything concrete to report.

[TeamBarbarian]

DAMN! Kick that flu brother... feel better soon!

Garlic, zinc, vitamin C, and VITAMIN D3! Good luck... keep us updated.

Sorry to hear you are sick.

I try to force gaterade down even though I do not like gaterade to keep hydrated. Hope you feel better soon

[rey023]

Finally got to the gym yesterday. Did a whole body circuit. And even though I was coming of a flu, I had a great workout. Pretty much I had energy from the moment I woke up. Libido is an easy thing to notice, but not only is my mood better, but today I think I am starting to notice changes in my body composition. I think I have lost some water, as I look a little bit dryer. Haven't weighted myself since the flu, gonna do that next week. Also what I noticed today it was very easy for me to get in the zone. Driven and aggressive, in a good way. Today I have a day off. It hard to say after a coming of the flu gym session, but I felt really strong today. Gonna see how it changes in the next couple days.

Saturday I am going back to my original split. It will be easier to make some more observations than.

[rey023]

Over the last few days I noticed that I have definitely lost some water. I look much harder plus muscles feel much fuller. Especially once you hit the gym, get a pump, that pumps stays a lot longer. You can also see an increase in vascularity. I have always had an issue with that. Even when I got Ripped I was never the one to have some crazy veins all over my body.

Libido is still up. Morning wood present. When I wake up in the morning I feel energized. That obviously translates to the gym, as I am able to be much more focused and aggressive while lifting.

What's even greater is that I still don't experience any side effects. I would like to think that Flex Freak has a lot to do with it as well.

I hit back yesterday. Here is a recap of what a did.

1. Superset
Wide chest pulldown
Close chest pulldown
3x 6-10 / 15-20

2. Db rows
3x 10-15

3. Machine hummer grip rows
4x 8-12
Last set drop set. 2 drops. Hold and squeeze for 5 sec each rep, plus negative part of movement takes about 3-5 sec. Painful as hell.

4. Superset
Super wide machine hummer grip rows (you basically grab by part of the machine structure, not the handles)
Overhand wide cable rows

4x 20-25

Last set is a drop on both excersies. Each with 2 drops with 5sec hold and squeeze as well as 3-5 sec on the negative.

5. Superset for rare delts

Machine
Cable

3x 10-15
Last set a drop set on both excersies.

Finished it off with 5 fill in sets for biceps for better recovery. Just to get some blood there to keep a better nutritional delivery to the muscle cells.

Bb curls
Db hummer curls
Front cable curls
Bent over hummer Db curls
Concentration curla

1x 15-20 reps

That was a great workout here are some pics after it.

[rey023]

Felt really rested yesterday. Even though had a killer back workout the day before. I feel like I recover a lot quicker, mostly because Hormone Support Stack has definitely improved my sleep.

Libido is not as strong as it was at the beginning. Have really no idea why.

My mood is great. I feel rested and energized.

Still I haven't experienced any side effects at all. That makes me very happy.

During gym sessions I feel very driven, aggressive and I feel like I am making some strength improvements. Plus my endurance is a lot better. I do a lot of dropsets and supersets, I feel like I can handle a lot more that burning pain that I could prior to adding these supps to my stack.

My body is getting a little harder as well. Water has been dropped. Like I mentioned before I feel much fuller and pumps last much longer. Everything is going in right direction.

Here is a recap of what we did yesterday with a friend of mine. It was chest + traps + fill in sets for triceps.

1. Superset
Cable cross
Push-ups

3x

2. Machine extra wide press (pretty much you grab not by the handles, but by the part of the structure) fold with your lower part of the palm, this creates a movement that's a little press and little flyes. You sit a little lower and it hits your upper chest incredible.

4x 8-12
Last one is a drop set. 2 drops till absolute failure.

3. Db incline press

3x 6-10

4. Superset
Incline cable flyes on a bench
Svend press

4x 15-20
Last one on cables is a drop set.



Then we're the fill in sets for triceps. To help with recovery

5. Overhead Eze Bar Extensions
Overhead ropes extensions
Underhand push downs
Decline French press with dB
Push downs with d handle

1x 20-30

Finished it off with traps

6. Superset
Bb shrugs
DB shrugs
4x 20-25/15-10





That's a wrap. Awesome session.

[rey023]

Yesterday was a busy day, but I managed to go to the gym and had a productive workout.

Had trouble waking up in the morning. But managed to pull myself together once I was after shower and breakfast I felt great. Full of energy with good mood. That even my GF didn't manage to screw up with her mood swings hehe.

Libido is back to normal I think. Did have a great increase till now. Maybe it's workout volume.. Any way I feel great anyway.

Workout shoulders and quads. Alone, so no pictures, but I will have something from today's arms workout to post later.

Here is a recap of workout

1. Superset
Side dB seating
Military DB Press

5x 8-12 / 6-12
Last set was a drop on presses. 3 drops. Finished with 90 lbs db.

2. Side L machine
4x 15-20

3. Front Bb on incline bench
4x 12-15

Though this exercise would be good, but it turned out worse than classic db or bb raises standing.

4. Superset
Rare l machine
Reverse cable

4x 8-12 / 15-20

5. Leg extensions
5x 15-10
Last is a drop set. 2 drops.

6. Leg presses
5x 8-12
Last set is a drop set. 4 drops.

7. Single leg press
4x 15-20

Gotta say I woke up a little sore today. In my left shoulder. However as day got rolling I felt fine. Nothing like pain I experience during my last DAA only cycle.

One thing I kept forgetting to mention was that ever sin e I started stack I am peeing dark yellow. No idea what causes it.

[rey023]

I have finished a bottle of Acacetin99 and DAA. It's hard for me to judge single product out of the entire stack as I have taken all 3 at once, however you can definitely say that they do exactly what it is supposed to:

Harder, dryer look - it kicks in couple days in, so I would recommend getting at least 2 bottles of each for those interested

Vascularity and pumps - definitely they help with looking leaner, getting those veins to much more visible, also I got a feeling that pumps lasted a lot longer

Libido was undeniably higher within the first week. However I though it got back to normal in last couple days or maybe I got used to it.

Mood and energy are really noticeable. Both of them were great during running stack. Also aggressiveness at the gym was an additional plus, didn't expect this one.

The only complain I might have is that bottles run out pretty fast. As Acacetin99 last 20 days and DAA is good for 22 days as you need 4 a day to get full benefits of it.

Still got a week left in DIM usage. Gonna see how it finishes up. Then I will judge the results of entire 30 days.

Did arms yesterday and had a great workout.

Here is a recap of my workout plus a video.

[rey023]

I am getting to look leaner. Also muscles feel much harder even in the morning, which has always been an issue for me. As I had always looked very flat upon waking.

Libido hasn't improved much since the initial increase. Which is a bummer. But it can't grow in eternity I guess.

Mood is still great, very confident and positive. Energy is great as well.

Had a decent back workout the other day. Would have been better if it wasn't for the fact that I forgot to charge my iPod and was working out without music. I think that messed up entire workout, as I didn't have enough focus and aggressiveness. All that gym talk is really annoying. But wasn't a bad workout either.


Here is the workout itself. Same as last week just added 1 set to some to increase a little volume.


1. Superset
Wide chest pulldown
Close chest pulldown
4x 6-10 / 15-20

4x 10-15
100 lbs DB

3. Machine hummer grip rows
4x 8-12

Last set drop set. 2 drops. Hold and squeeze for 5 sec each rep, plus negative part of movement takes about 3-5 sec. Painful as hell.

4. Superset
Super wide machine hummer grip rows (you basically grab by part of the machine structure, not the handles)
Overhand wide cable rows

4x 20-25

[rey023]

Getting rid of water retention
Great mood
Focus at the gym
Slightly increased libido

Had a great chest session. Very short breaks, great tempo. Get in, do your thing and leave.
