Hench's Follistatin Log

**Hench** · 08-17-2011, 09:40 AM

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! This will be a log of my 10 day Follistatin cycle. Currently there is minimal real world experience of this product, so I'm hoping this, along with GMO's log, will help to shed some light on exactly what can be expected from this compound.

My Follistatin is from Extreme Peptide

First off, some stats:

Age: 21
Training exp.: 5 years
Starting Weight: 193lbs (NB. I weigh light for my size/height)
AAS Use: None (as of yet....

)

My squat, dead and bench total is >1000lbs to give an idea of strength.

Routine will be a slightly modified version of 'Baby Got Back',

i.e.

- Horizontal Push/Pull (Chest/Back)
- Quad Dominant + Arms
- Horizontal Push/Vertical Pull (Chest/Lats)
- Ham Dominant + Shoulders

I've learnt from experience that my chest requires two sessions per week in order to keep up with my arm and back development, hence the program design.

Maintenance cals for me is around 3300cals per day. I'm going to start off around 4000cals per day and see how it goes from there. As it's such a short course I don't mind gaining some fat in order to ensure maximum muscular hypertrophy.

Follistatin: 100mcg (IM) per day for 10 days

I've added some before shots below, they were taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and completely cold. I seem to be holding a bit of water compared to normal, however this should only serve to make the after's more impressive!

Nice...I'm in.

**TwisT** · 08-17-2011, 09:42 AM

**Hench** · 08-17-2011, 09:42 AM

I started my research on Monday, however only got time to make the log today. I'm going to the gym now, I'll post up a review of the first three days when I get back.

**Hench** · 08-17-2011, 09:42 AM

^^^DAMM you boys are quick.

**OldSchoolLifter** · 08-17-2011, 09:45 AM

In for the ride wo0t!

**besharp** · 08-17-2011, 08:20 PM

Sub'd! I think I want some of this stuff. . . . GMO's review made it sound like my kinda peptide.

Get on it!

**Hench** · 08-18-2011, 10:59 AM

Weight = 193lbs
Cals = 4200
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

First day so nothing much to report. No PIP whatsoever, this differs from my friends experience of the product.

Trained Horizontal Push/Pull.

Notable Lifts:

DB Press: 45kg/100lbs x 5
Pendlay Rows: 110kg/242lbs x 8 (squeezed at top)

**Hench** · 08-18-2011, 11:08 AM

Weight = 193.5lbs
Cals = 6500
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

No real noticeable changes to physique or sides to speak of. However, felt slightly underfed yesterday, even after consuming over 4k cals. Decided to eat (as cleanly as possible) until I was satisfied. I ended up eating 6.5k cals!!! Getting a pronounced 'Alpha' feeling while in the gym and for a few hours afterward.

Trained quad dominant.

Notable lifts:

Squatted 115kg/253lbs x 3, nothing special, but the most Ive done since tweaking my left quad 6 weeks ago.

**Hench** · 08-18-2011, 11:17 AM

Weight = 196.5lbs
Cals = 5500cals
Delt Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Woke up this morning expecting to feel bloated and soft from consuming so many cals yesterday. However I looked full, yet vascular and much tighter than two days ago. All day my housemates (all of whom train/abuse chems) were saying how lean I was looking. Went to the gym that evening and my weight is up 3.5lbs since Monday! Too early to make any conclusions, however Im pretty excited about what's going to happen over the next 7 days.

Didn't feel up to working arms yesterday after legs, so decided to train them today instead. Training with a new partner as of 2 weeks ago. He about 15lbs heavier than me and slightly stronger. Today I dominated him on arms, which is all the more impressive considering I havent trained arms in 2 YEARS.

Sides:

Positive - Massive pumps, increased recovery/endurance/strength
Negative - Slight heartburn

Nice....I knew this shit would really pop in an environment of high myostatin and anabolics.

**Hench** · 08-20-2011, 07:11 AM

Weight = 197lbs
Cals = 6000cals
Delt Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Compound appears to be in full swing, looking larger and leaner than Monday. Was going to post up some progress pics, but think it will be better if I keep smashing it and post them up at conclusion of research.

Trained Horizontal Push/Vertical Pull

Finished my last set of dips with 20kg/45lbs strapped round my waist.
Got a PR on pulldowns - 90kg/198lbs x 15reps

Massive pumps in the gym, probably compromised my training slightly due to forearm pumps, but this is hardly something to complain about.

Sides:

Positive - Strength is increasing rapidly, along improved recovery ect.
Negative - Swollen wrists (more on this to follow), heartburn

**Hench** · 08-20-2011, 07:21 AM

Weight = ???
Cals = 7,500 cals
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

I had to use all my self restraint today to keep myself out of the gym. Even after 4 hard sessions in a row I felt fine, however I concluded that a rest day would be the smart choice.

As you can see my cals for today were extremely high, some 3000+ above maint. level. As far as I can tell, there has been no appreciable fat gain. Therefore I will continue this level of intake for the remainder of my research.

Sides

Positive - Same as stated above, NO FAT GAIN?!?, 'Alpha' mentality
Negative - Swollen wrists, heartburn (getting progressively worse)

**Hench** · 08-20-2011, 07:24 AM

Today is day 6. Been a very interesting ride so far. I have some thoughts on this compound that I would like to discuss with the community, however for the sake of integrity I will withhold until the conclusion of my research.

Off to the gym, time to smash Shoulders and Hams. Reports when I return.

**the_warchief** · 08-20-2011, 09:14 AM

Dudee I am very interested with this log! It's great that this is working for you! 2 things to say, one is that this only motivates me to use follistatin soon enough, and two is I WONT ORDER IT FROM ANYWHERE OTHER THEN EXTREME PEPTIDES!!

Looking forward to hearing and discussing those thoughts with you bro.

Great log...keep up the good work!

**Hench** · 08-20-2011, 12:35 PM

Weight = 200lbs
Cals = 7000+
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Things are starting to get a little bit silly, 7lbs in 6 days with no noticeable fat gain??? Massive pumps and vascularity in the gym, strength continues to increase. Ive noticed the heartburn subsides when I eat, so I'm taking that as a signal to keep ramming as many cals in as possible. Aiming to hit 8k cals today, appetite has not increased so this could be a struggle, fingers crossed.

Trained shoulders today, forgot the gym shuts early on a Saturday so Ill have to go back tomorrow to hit hams.

Managed 70kg/154 x 8 today on Millies which might be a PR.

Sides - Nothing new to report, same as before.

Off to work, will hopefully be a quiet night.

**Hench** · 08-21-2011, 12:12 PM

Weight = 201lbs
Cals = 7000+
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Weight continues to increase, fat gain remains minimal. I'm absolutely loving this stuff!!! Not only have I gained a lot of size buy my muscles feel very hard, even though my bf% is the same or slightly higher.

Got three days of research remaining. I'm going to train the next two days and take Wednesday off. I'll keep cramming the cals in and try to get as much sleep as possible for the remainder of the course. I'd be happy with a further gain of 2lbs, which would give me a total of +10lbs in 10 days.

Right, enough rambling, off to stuff my face.

**Hench** · 08-23-2011, 05:57 PM

Weight = 201lbs
Cals = 7000cals
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Trained Horizontal Push/Pull.

Had my best workout in a very long time today. FINALLY got the 50kg/110kg up on DB Press. Also Pendly Row'd 120kg/264lbs x 7 reps. On top of the increased strength, my endurance held up really well while doing drop sets at the end of the workout.

Starting to feel a touch worn out having gone at it so hard for the last 8 days, must also be related to growing so much in a short period of time. Going to take tomorrow off and hopefully be recovered enough to smash quad dom. on Wednesday, which will be my last day on the Folli.

oh snap. its coming today. cant wait to see final results and pics.. also, dont leave us hanging, i want to see how youre doing 2-4 wks later

**Hench** · 08-24-2011, 05:07 PM

Weight = 202.5lbs +9.5lbs in 10 days
Cals = 6500cals
Pec Injection - 100mcg of Follistatin

Well today was my final pin, sad times.

Smashed it in the gym again today, weight up another 1.5lbs since Monday. Have noticed a little fat gain, but I'm also quite watery in the mid section from eat so much food everyday. Going to drop my cals down to 4000 tomorrow and probably keep it there or slightly lower for the rest of the week. Hope I can continue to some gains and harden up a bit.

Think I'll take the after pics on Saturday, let some of this water dissipate, to better illustrate the changes. Got an early start tomorrow so I'm out, hope you've enjoyed the log.

Cheers bro, yeah don't worry, I'll be sure to post weekly pics for about a month or so. My mate ran Folli a about 5 weeks ago and said he continued to gain for an extended period of time after his course.

**ScottyMac710** · 08-24-2011, 08:15 PM

Follistatin: You're doing it right.

Way to go bro, this is definitely how you should be eating on this compound!! Awesome gains for sure, might have to give this a run sometime in the near future. You've hit the nail on the head with how you've been eating while on it though, when myostatin is blocked or inhibited the body will continue to build muscle as long as it has the nutrients to do so - therefor, give your body a HELLLL of alot of nutrients and grow like a fuckin redwood!!

well done bro, very interested to see the after pics; how much body fat do you think was gained in addition to the new muscle growth (if any, but at that level of surplus and your posts i can only assume there was at least some)

**Hench** · 08-25-2011, 12:52 PM

^^^If you read the thread I said I injured my leg about 6 weeks ago, just starting to train them again.

Also, you're 170lbs and 15%bf, after multiple cycles. Who are you to be talking shit to anyone?
