Day 30/31 update
Dose: 45 mg epi
Just gonna show the leg day that I had today, and wow strength is really up still!! But I am equally glad that my joints are holding well, if not stronger

1. ATG Squat: 265 (5), 285 (5), 290 (4) almost!; 160 (20!) these are starting to increase drastically, that it's almost scary

4. Seated Calves for 2 plate and 25: goal is 75 reps to failure and it took me a lot of sets!

Weight 163.5.............. 176??????? (12.5) Despite my increase in calories in accordance to my weight gain; I am still drying out! I don't even think I can stomach an addition 200-300 calories without puking my guts out; but as long as the mirror is looking good, I'll take it! But if I keep losing more weight, I may have to re-increase calories
