DNP experience

[D_T]

It was not for me. I got all of the sides and very little of the benefits, if any. I took one cap every 36 hours because it was about all I can handle. I don't really tolerate stimulants very well in general.

DNP isn't a stimulant and shouldn't act as one if you got any side effects of a stimulant you may want to check your supplier. The thing with DNP is if you can't last at least 10-14 days IMO you probably won't reap the benefits especially at a lower dose like 200-250 a day but like you said it's not for everyone

I ran dnp at 500mg/day, and at 250mg/day. I much prefer 250 daily. I'm not a ball of sweat all day, and weight still drops off without even trying. I like running the dnp a bit longer as well.

I agree 3-4 weeks low dose with solid diet and you can actually do some cardiovascular without feeling like you're going to die

I think I may try an 8 week run at 250/day.

Telkins- was just looking at your progress pics and you looked awesome. Nice job, man.

Do you think that the DNP got your conditioning to a point that you would not have been able to get to without it?

I've never tried it and probably never will but I'm curious to hear (from those who have) if you think it was worth it.

I think that would be a great run you may not even need 8 maybe closer to 6 but that's something you'll have to decide on the way!

Thanks man I really appreciate that

I didn't use DNP throughout my entire prep if I remember correctly I stopped about 3-4 weeks out
The DNP put me in a position to be able to carve out the last little bit of fat and helped my conditioning from my starting point but I don't believe that I achieved my final look from the hard diet cardio and the clen and t3 I added after DNP use.
The results I had could have been attained without the DNP I think DNP just put the process into overdrive and sped things up a little bit. If I had used it through the entire prep I think I would've achieved a different look. I do believe it was worth it for me because the pros outweighed the cons and the sides werent as horrific as some people experience I will definitely use DNP in the future. It was definitely an aid in the process but nothing that couldn't be achieved with a long process of diet and cardio.

Thanks, bro. Appreciate the honest answer.

I'm probably done competing (haven't been on stage since 2008) but am always interested in hearing the different ways guys go about getting in shape. It's one of my favorite things about this site.

Keep us posted on your progress and best of luck. Stay healthy!

Alright guys starting another low dose run at 250mg a day. Gonna try to stick it out for about 30 days. Starting weight is 224 a little fluffy from this offseason but taking a different approach with this run. Moderate carbs and 750mg of test alongside the DNPIMG_20150204_205414.jpgIMG_20150204_205453.jpg

Will post better pics when I get the chance

i done dnp for as long as 3 months before

its safe if youre not an idiot

unless i need to shed fat fast i prefer it at 200mg or even 100mg a day........low sides and you still lose the fat

Source matters a lot, probably more for dnp than ant other common bodybuilding compound. I've run from 3 different sources with "chemical" and "crystal" forms. Cheap chemical made me feel like death at 400 mg/day. High quality (expensive) crystal from top notch supplier was very tolerable at 500 mg/day. Able to keep normal routine, cardio. Just run in winter and wear shorts

[telkins92]

Well this run was so miserable side wise for me I didn't even bother logging or taking pics.

First 10 days were 250mg a day days 11-22 were 500mg a day
Total of 25lbs dropped

SW:227
Ending weight: 201
After carving back up and adding call slowly sitting at a fairly full and resonably lean 213lbs. I added back some bf but plans changed and pushed contest date back so this really was just experimentation with a dnp with higher carbs run. I definitely didn't lose as much fat with higher carbs on dnp. 0 carb runs have always been the most successful that'd from experience not opinion
