No actually I started DUP by David laid, I found a free excel sheet of the program on Reddit so I was like “why not 
”

How are you liking DUP so far?
I’ve been running a basic 5x5 with mainly compound lifts, but with that extra motivation from Spartan I’m looking to add some accessory lifts as well…sounds like the ice cream 5x5 would be good for that purpose?

In a way, it’s just a modified PPL
But yes, the icf 5x5 is going to do that, trust me, it’s really fucking good, and once you reach high numbers, it will make you grow by the day (even without subs and/or enhancers), it’s just that good.
Talking about it now is making me get shiny object syndrome and hop on it instead

So it’s a rest day today, I’m actually proud of myself for never skipping a rest day, in fact sometimes I feel like I wanna take more, because my best Chosen and RICH ZP results, after the stacking test was done, came during the 5 days washout that I did, that’s when so many people on the forum started talking to me, people IRL kept asking me to hang out, people kept saying how I’m a light in their lives, and how people kept calling me well-mannered.
I’m not saying I’m not getting those now, in fact yesterday I got asked by my friend in the gym to hangout more often (apart from the time we are at the gym), and I also had a couple of new people texting me for some help and advice (both on forum and on Snapchat), so I’m still having that effect.
Anyways, I’m barely feeling any soreness from yesterday’s workout, and ended up dreaming about me deadlifting 180kgs (it’s been years since I last pulled that much weight for 3 clean reps), so I guess Spartan is telling me that powerlifting is the direction I should go in again, luckily DUP covers a lot of it, but if I don’t feel satisfied by Friday, then I’m going to make my own power-building program.
Apart from that, today marks the day when I first met my girlfriend and I’m happy that it’s a rest day, as I’m planning to spend the day with her, so you guys might not see me as much on the forum today, but I still have gym at night, and that’s when I’ll hop on the forum again.
Now for WZP’s results, as they’re still coming daily, my beard looks much thicker than before, I see new hair follicles as well, which is pretty exciting.
The physical shifting of both WZP and SZP seem to compound, as the only soreness I feel today is in my abs and a bit in my legs (it was a pull/back workout yesterday), and this is what was happening during the test, where I would workout one muscle and something else would be sore due to the physical shifting, so we’ll see how strong it ends up getting.
Lastly, I feel satisfied and content, no feeling of “should I change something in my stack”, the 3 I’m on now (WANTED, Chosen, Spartan) are very complimentary to each other, as well as to my main goals, so the only time I might switch is when HERO is out, and if there was a new title that really caught my eyes, but yeah, no GMX anymore.

So I’m back home, and well, I’m gonna keep the NSFW stuff of today away from my journal for now 
but let’s just say that I feel like Spartan did something that made me a bit more sexually aggressive, I guess it’s a combination of the 3 subs I’m running together, because after I dropped my girl, she wasn’t walking properly and told me that she feels way too sore to walk.
Also every request I make now, whether it’s to my girl, parents, random strangers, they all seem to happily comply without questioning me, and I told my girl about this and she told me that it’s because I radiate good manners and kindness 
that was very sweet of her, but then my cockiness came into play and I said “or you just listen to get fed more by my dick 
”
Now I’m drinking my coffee an hour earlier than usual, gonna play a bit till I’m done with it then shower and go to the gym.
Also noticed that I was watching more fitness vlogs and that my music taste is changing a bit

Now this next part is for how I feel about how the forum has been since yesterday.
It feels like some people are just too stubborn and keep wanting to break the guidelines, wanting to do more loops, act like they know more than Saint and the testers, have no care about anything else.
Why? Do you guys really think listening more will make you change in a day?
Do you really think that doing 5 loops a day of WZP is going to turn you into a model overnight?
Do you really think listening to LZP for an hour straight will turn you into Nikola Tesla?
No.
And if it was true, then don’t you guys think Saint would have told you it’s okay to experiment?
The power of ZP is at a good balance for you guys so that you don’t feel compelled to do more loops to get good results, yet people keep asking questions like “can I do 4 subs? Can I do 3 subs at 2 loops? Can I rotate 2 subs every week? Can I experiment?”
Why? Yes it can be very tempting, but do you not think your subconscious would need time to process?
Your subconscious mind is a very powerful, yes, but doing so many loops can also trigger extreme healing which can lead you to have violent or self-destructive thoughts, what will you do if you ended up doing something that you can’t take back?
What if your violence landed you behind bars? (Yes, the recon can lead to thoughts that dangerous).
I have nothing more to say, and this is not an attack on those who are actually following the guidelines and respecting them, but for everyone else who has considered doing it and hiding it as well.
Finally, since a lot of people respond to music more than written words, here’s one for y’all to listen.

“Dammit Invictus, why you like this”
I meditated today and came to many realizations, here are the ones that stuck out;
-
“why do I only play league when it’s the most toxic game out there?”, this lead to me downloading multiple games I bought and never played much like The Witcher 3, Nier Automata, FF15.
-
“why do I keep chasing strength training when I left powerlifting for good and bodybuilding already works for me, as well as help me get closer to achieving my dream?”, this lead me to stop overthinking about training and go back to doing my bodybuilding-style workouts.
-
“why do I try so hard to chase other goals, when my body, work and relationships are my biggest priorities?”, this lead to me making a pact with myself to keep gaming as a hobby ONLY, no more grinding for hours or playing as if it’s more important than everything else I love.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this, but I stopped counting reps since yesterday when working out, as well as looking at the rest time
@Ice did you experience this on Spartan?

I wouldn’t say I totally stopped counting reps, since it was just 5x5 so counting to 5 reps was pretty easy. BUT I noticed myself in flow much more easily so rest time between sets was not considered I would just go for it as soon as I felt recovered enough.

lol, it’s not that I “thought” it would happen, I KNOW it’ll happen. We tested a lot of stuff that we didn’t talk about openly. Trust me, it’s a bad idea.

I actually feel you on this and agree with your decision.
People always want to fly, when they can barely walk properly.
I remember back when I used to train for my powerlifting competition, a friend of mine from uni back then kept begging me to train him the same way, because I gave him a standard training program from Reddit. So I told him just 1 workout and if he can’t keep up then it’s over.
And he came to me on my push day, ended up not coming to the gym for the rest of the week.

Is it ok to run Spartan Z and Wanted Z in the same stack. If so, would you recommend they be run on the same day or different days. I’m also running Chosen.
1 Like
I haven’t reached a day where I run them both together, but the day will be here soon, and I will report on this.
But from what I can tell so far, running them in the same day would be very beneficial if your end goal is a bodybuilding/fitness model type of physique.
Why?
Because (and this is my personal theory, so don’t take this at 100%) subs can create synergetic effects together.
Like WZP with PSZP on the same day will definitely boost the chances of getting chicks compared to doing them separately.
Limitless ZP and GMX ZP would also work much better if ran on the same day.
This theory is also based on the fact that Saint has mentioned before that keeping your stacks focused (especially if you run a custom with ZP subs) lead to better and smoother results, rather than you being all over the place.
Which is why, chosen will be alone for me, and WZP and SZP will be together.
And since yesterday was Chosen + Spartan (since I bought it that time), I’m going to run only Chosen tomorrow, to give Spartan a bit more time to settle in, then run WZP and SZP together on Thursday.

Went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, so I rolled up my sleeves and just got stunned by how my forearms looked, so I took off my shirt and something just felt different.
I don’t know how to describe it any other way but this:
My skin looks like an armor worthy of the finest warriors of the history, covering my body with power and strength. My body reminds me of the world’s best athletes, or more like the ones from ancient books and stories.
Moreover, the skin isn’t the only thing that stood out, but the hardness of my muscles, it’s like a hard reinforced steel, with molten lava running through my veins, burning me up from inside, igniting a flame of passion towards sculpting my body in the best way possible.
My bones, they feel like they have been replaced with some hard material, like Wolverine’s admantium bones.
Everything about my body feels like it was sculpted by the gods of Olympus, and it’s getting clearer and clearer with every passing moment.
Nothing can stand between me and my goals, and if there’s ever any obstacle in my way, my sheer willpower and dedication alone will destroy it.
Nothing can break me, figuratively and literally, as not only is my mind made of steel, but my body is also indestructible.
If there was a word to describe how I feel, it would be INVICTUS, as I truly am unconquerable.

I’m not anything more than a person just like you and everyone else, we’re just on journeys of our own, finding our own ways to be the best versions of ourselves.
We are the ones who create our own desires, our own truths, and our own realities, but our true power lies in owning that which we create.
We’re all going to make it brah

I had a very unusual kind of a dream, and it felt so realistic that I actually opened my phone just to confirm, but then got disappointed
Basically in the dream, I was messaged by @SaintSovereign about a special product and that he would like me to try it for 2 reasons:
1- because he likes how fast I adapt to scripts.
2- because I always kept requesting a supernatural subliminal.
In the message he wrote about a project that I shouldn’t reveal to anyone, and told me that “even if this was just a dream, don’t give the details to anyone when you wake up” AND THAT WAS FREAKY, which is why I’m not saying the exact sub it was.
However, I remember very vividly that the sub was only given to 2 people, one of which was me and the other was @Lion, other than that it seemed like he wanted us to document our findings and results through vlogs, by making a YouTube account and posting the vlogs for him to see and note down what’s going on. At first, I felt so honored and I’m pretty sure if anyone would have entered my room, then they would have found me smiling in my sleep but when he gave me the file and I listened to it, I ended up waking up to a call from a company called Qatar Airways (you guys probably heard of it at some point), asking me if I would like to consider a job opportunity at the company and be down for an interview.
Now I’m not saying I’m ungrateful, but WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS.
Life really feels like it’s on easy mode, like I don’t do anything and end getting job opportunities from places like this , either way, I have thought about it and decided that I won’t accept the offer from the Olympics committee until I see what happens with Qatar Airways, if they take too long to contact me or their offer was lame, then I’ll just go and sign the contract with the Olympics, but it’s worth waiting for now.
