DNP Cycle
Been on this DNP cycle for 9 days now. I just wanted to post this to catalog progress.
Currently on week 12 of a 300mg/TestE 900mg/EQ cycle. Diet is on point and work outs have been great. I started DNP to shed some fat while on cycle. I was at 10.2% prior to cycle, got to 12% on cycle since EQ makes me Chow like crazy and I am hoping to get back to 10 or sub 10 after this dnp run.
I have run dnp 3 times not including this run. My previous attempts had only been at 250mg per day for 14 days. This run I want to last for 21 days and have been upping the dose. My dosing with supps has been as follows:
Day 1: 250mg DNP at 8PM with last meal of the night + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi
Day 2: 250mg DNP at 8PM with last meal of the night + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi
Day 3: 250mg DNP at 8PM with last meal of the night + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi
Day 4: 250mg DNP at 7AM with breakfast and a V8 Fusion+ Fish oil+ ALA
Day 4 2nd Dose: 250mg at 8PM with last meal + + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi + 50mcg T3
Day 5: 250mg DNP at 7AM with breakfast and a V8 Fusion+ Fish oil+ ALA
Day 5 2nd Dose: 250mg at 8PM with last meal + + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi + 50mcg T3
Day 6: 250mg DNP at 7AM with breakfast and a V8 Fusion+ Fish oil+ ALA
Day 6 2nd Dose: 250mg at 8PM with last meal + + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi + 50mcg T3
Day 7: 250mg DNP at 7AM with breakfast and a V8 Fusion+ Fish oil+ ALA
Day 7 2nd Dose: 250mg at 8PM with last meal + + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi + 50mcg T3
Day 8: 250mg DNP at 7AM with breakfast and a V8 Fusion+ Fish oil+ ALA
Day 8 2nd Dose: 250mg at 8PM with last meal + + 2g CLA + Vit C+ Multi + 50mcg T3
Side effects:
At the 250mg, I had noticed a slight increase in heat throughout my day and when I took in carbs but nothing unbearable. Cardio was tough, constantly out of breath and work outs began to last shorter and shorter. Didn't have many carb cravings, constantly stuffed my face with protein. Small amount of night sweats. Only the collar to my shirt was damp.
At 500mg, My back is always sweaty. Not profuse where you can see it through my shirt but feels like I have been sitting in a warm car with leather seats. Nights have begun to have insomnia. I toss all night and am dead tired in the morning. I have a fan pointed right at my face and sleep but ass naked now. I still dont soak the bed or sweat that much... its like being outside in humidity. I cant work out very long, i tried taking a pre work out that had 10g of dextrose and I about sweat my ass off on the drive to the gym. At this dose it takes 5g of carbs to really get me sweating. My house is set at 67 and I am hot as hell, my lady is freezing because of outside temps. To cool down I take a walk with the dog late at night with just shorts and sandals then take a cold shower before bed.
Changes: My face is slimmer but my waist and chest have retained some water. My energy is fine no need for ECA or clen for me. I can tell my waist is shrinking by sight but I am waiting to release the water weight. I was considering going to 750mg per day but I think that might TKO me.
I will update this after another week.
*******UPDATE********
I am 3 days out from finishing my 21 day DNP Cycle. So far so good. Scale has dropped 15lbs since day 1. Cant wait to shed the water weight. I never went to 750mg because I am so tired from not getting any sleep already. I toss and turn all night and feel so warm that its 40 degrees at night and I need the window open to get comfortable... and i still have a fan on. I upped my t3 to 100mcg a day for the last week. Today I am tapering down to 75mcg for about a week then I will drop to 50mcg for 3 days then 25mcg for about a week more. That should run me about 7 days post DNP run. I will also start taking clen on Wednesday this week to help shed this water.

Update: Almost at 2 weeks (1 week of 250mg/day and one of 500mg/day). Anyone with DNP experience ever have the heat feeling go away? I have been losing it lately. Not nearly as much heat, not that I am complaining. Sweating after eating carbs has dissappeared somewhat except when I take a dose in the AM with an apple or V8 Fusion. I have upped my T3 to 100mcg per day and taking more CLA now. I see a visibile difference in my face and even my waist. Down 8lbs on the scale which could be more due to water
Do you feel the t3 is necessary when taking dnp?
i do yea, first dnp run i ever did I didnt run t3 with it. When I was done there was a rebound effect where I gained weight back. Second run I added 50mcg of t3 at the end and i only gained 1 or 2 lbs back post cycle and this time I am running T3 from day 4 ending 7 days post cycle. I think it helps because DNP can reduce natural T3 output
Less is more with DNP, it accumulates nicely within the body so I think you will be fine at the dosages you are running.
Water weight is very common so don't misjudge that as poor results. Lets keep it safe ;)
i gotcha brotha, this is run 3 but first time upping it. 500 seems to be my sweet spot. Good lookin out tho!
