| still have been taking same dosage, no sides, but still no noticable changes. Have seen a slight increase in strength but not enough to say that It's for sure the Ecdysten doing it or I may just be getting a little stronger. |

| You better do some cardio. I am a Firefighter too and I weigh 230 and my ass goes through my bottle in about 14 minutes. I always come out of the maze with my mask-a-buzzin first. I am in great shape, but because of my mass I just suck that 4500lb bottle quick. Do you have the same issue? |

well I was running about 2 1/2 miles on the days I worked (10 days a month) and doing some other cardio before I started bulking a couple months ago. I am still in good shape cardio wise, granted not quite as good as I was but no problems. I will be done bulking in about a month and will start back up then. My workouts can be pretty intense so that helps keep me in shape cardio wise. |

| Well I'm up to aprox. 20% bodyfat, if it goes up any more I'm going to start tapering the groceries and maybe doing light cardio(walking) to maintain. Still can't tell any effects that I can for sure contribute to this product, still taking 2caps 3x daily. Have gained about 2lbs since I have been on it but I would contribute that more to the groceries. |

| well have gained about another 1lb. strength is still increasing. I curled 55lb dumbels for 8reps each the other day for 3 sets. Still I would attribute the biggest part of my gains to my other sups. Food, and hard work in the gym. |

| Worked biceps today, still lifting with heavy weights, have had some elbow pain from doing bi's and tri's, hopefully the glucosamine will help. |

just wanted to clarify to others reading, he is taking 30mg X 3 doses per day, NOT 300mg X 3.  nice log so far.... EDIT: also, perhaps i missed it but please inform me on your approx. breakdown of P/C/F.....and did you up the P for this log? |
| Posted by: FIREMAN1173005 Feb 21 2006, 09:31 AM |
| I am trying to consume roughly 300grams of protein/day, aprox. 3500, cal. and have been consuming about 40-60 grams of fat/day. |

| I finished my last bottle of Ecdysten two days ago. I gained about 3-4 lbs. (depending on what day I weigh) mostly muscle I think. Have gained some in the strength department. And have put about another 1/4 inch on my biceps. I can't say for sure that the Ecdysten did all of this or if it is my diet since I am bulking. If I were buying it I think I would try 3 or so bottles instead of the 2 I tried. Well either way I gained 3lbs of muscle which is good for me. Would like to say thanks to the Thermolife reps for giving me this opprotunity and would be honored to test any of their suplements in the future. |
