i dont think the length will be a problem, i can always do squats first and stick with chest/back superset.
also, is there room for a warmup set? for bench i typically start with 95 (coincidently had that in part 1) and 135 for squat. maybe drop squat to 95?
also, whats the soonest youd recommend starting the dicana? wait till sunday or can i just throw it in now while eating at maintanence?

Warmups... yes absolutely! Always warm up a cold muscle. Not just for safety, but there is research showing it leads to greater STRENGTH. The key is dynamically stretching it, vs. holding weights (static stretch).
The former makes you stronger. The latter weaker...
You can start Dicana. I'm not really into the thyroid meds but if so inclined take it with your creatine during this time as there is some research showing thyroid hormones up-regulate creatine uptake, or at least Duchaine postulated on such at one point.

its actually been really cold, so i couldnt tell you. sometimes my back sweats when i stand for a long time while wearing a hoodie, but thats somewhat normal.
i havent really felt anything yet although last night it seemed like the dicana reacted with the melatonin i took. my stomach felt warm and bubbly, not sure how to describe it.

Noticing anything from the Dicana now?
Not fat loss per se. Sweating, other signs of metabolic rate increasing. I'd be curious to know if it elevated heart rate any...

No issues on the basketball, as long as it doesn't cut into your recovery
