1st DS-Cycle, Dermacrine + Halodrol

[insayan]

Accidently I deleted my current thread.

I am in my 5th week of the cycle. (day 29 of dermacrine and day 15 of halodrol)
Sides like lethargy, gynecomastio, and headache are virtually non-existent. My family is prone to elevated blood pressure. Before cycle my blood pressure was something like 150/84 and reached a peak of 158/89 in first week of halodrol. Through eating tons of pure celery I lowered the blood pressure. Now its still elevated but is situated in the low 140/70.

January 29 – Day 28 of dermacrine and day 14 of Halodrol
Blood pressure: 148/75
Weight: 222 (+9 lbs)
Bodyfat: same as before
Sides: elevated blood pressure, some light pain in knee and elbow but nothing to speak of.

Based on the assumption that the halodrol won’t kick in until week three, the gains in strength and weight can be attributed to the dermacrine. Every time I hit the gym I beat the gym book. Right before the cycle I reached a plateau and it was pretty difficult to increase the weight. I had pretty good strength gains caused by the dermacrine.

Summary

Before Cycle:
I preloaded cycle assist two weeks before the cycle started to counteract the elevated blood pressure.


Week 1:
Only dermacrine 5 pumps a day. I applied the dermacrine on chest and upper back as well as shoulder and arms.

Weight: 214 (+1)

Week 3:
dermacrine 5 pumps a day. I applied the dermacrine on chest and upper back as well as shoulder and arms. I took 50 mg of Halodrol (25mg with grapefruit juice in the morning and 25mg pre workout)

Blood pressure (on an average): 153/83
Sides: some light pain in knee and elbow
Effect: In week 3 the effect of dermacrine kicked in. Enhanced mood and libido and increased energy.

Effect: Based on the assumption that the halodrol won’t kick in until week three, the gains in strength and weight can be attributed to the dermacrine. Every time I hit the gym I beat the gym book. Right before the cycle I reached a plateau and it was pretty difficult to increase the weight. I had pretty good strength and mass gains caused by the dermacrine.

Weight: 225 (+3)

[kolejorg]

Have you used mk2866 yet? What's the thought process behind using it? I've heard good things about it.

 

[Mystere3]

It's good for keeping gains. Pct looks good.
