I started with a 7 day juice feast which went ok, and jumped directly on the herb cycle after. The herbs hit me hard after the juice feast and I felt amazing for a week, and from there on it's been upswings and downswings as expected. I can't really notice the effects of the individual herbs anymore, but on upswings I sometimes have crazy amounts of energy which is really awesome since even before I got PSSD I was dealing with fatigue and lethargy. There have even been days where I could confidently say I had a bit of actual libido again, hell yeah. At one point my erection quality was also like 90% back to normal for a week or so, but that didn't last. Oh well I'm sure it'll return at some point.

The corona lockdown threw me off for a few weeks, but I've picked things back up again and can exercise at home with some home gym stuff. I lift 3x a week, and do cardio at least twice. I started as an out of shape CS student so it's been a learning experience for sure. Dropped 13kg of fat so far and put on a bit of muscle. I haven't done HIIT yet, but as soon as I can run 5k without taking a break I will replace running with HIIT.

Things I still need to improve/be more consistent with:
- Tighten up my diet (It was fine before, but I'm hanging out at my parent's place during the quarantine because they have a home gym and a big garden I can chill in instead of being stuck in my tiny studio apartment)
- Consistently do the breathing exercises
- Bathmate (didn't wan't to bring it to my parent's place lol)
- Full cold showers (just doing 1 minute at the end now)
- Meditation
- Go full nofap (already cut down a lot, energy levels go to shit if I don't)

I have two bottles of musclegelz andro hard ready to go for my first cycle, but I want to make sure everything else is 100% on point before I begin. Hopefully that will be within the next few weeks.
No. No. No. Stop the 5K. Run the sprints. What you are doing is apples and oranges. Don't bother with steady state cardio. Man.....not picking on you guys, but this thing was written for a reason. Not for shits and giggles. Don't reinvent the wheel man. It's all been done for you. JUST FOLLOW IT. Seriously.

By not going all in you're only robbing yourself. How bad do you want it? You have complete control. What you put in, is what you get out.

Honestly, don't bother running the cycle until you have most of the preliminary bases covered.
