Sounds good bud, can't wait to see how this works out for you!Bump for anyone else that wants to follow and welcome to those that are.
I'll be taking before pictures tomorrow morning and have them up some time soon thereafter.
I see!Ok, I updated the second post with before pics.
So, I started out yesterday taking 6 Mass and 3 Hard first thing in the morning. Gotta say it is both cool and weird taking pills that are green and black. To give somewhat of a pre-update, going into this cycle I have been a bit frustrated strength-wise as most of my lifts have been stagnating our outright going down over the past few weeks. I'm not sure if it's placebo or what, but today and yesterday I beat most of my previous numbers at the gym. Nothing much else to report just yet. Mood is about the same as it has been, generally positive. As I said, I will do weekly updates, so the next one will be next Saturday. I'll still be checking in probably daily if there are any questions/comments.
Cheers.
Thank you for updating the pictures. As for the dosing plans, what you laid out seems adequate.Blech, just noticed the Androbulk shipping date got pushed back to the 23rd. So, I'll have to play with the dosing a bit so I'm not taking too many pills at once when that arrives. I may bump the Androhard dose up to 6/day (along with the 6/day Mass) for the rest of the first 4 weeks, and then do 6 Bulk and 6 Mass the last 4 weeks. But, I'm open to suggestions. I know that Mass already has a half dose of Hard, so hopefully that wouldn't be too much.
Great, thanks! Starting today I'm bumping the Hard dosage up to 6/day.Thank you for updating the pictures. As for the dosing plans, what you laid out seems adequate.
Go for it, I like the idea should have some serious strength gains form such a high dose of AHBlech, just noticed the Androbulk shipping date got pushed back to the 23rd.

I like how this scheme will allow me to tease apart the differing effects of the AH and AB also, so I'll be a bit better informed as far as what I might want to include in potential future cycles based on my goals. I was looking forward to trying out that AB, though. Guess I will have to wait a little longer.Go for it, I like the idea should have some serious strength gains form such a high dose of AH
This should also give those following a better idea of what you thought of each product.I like how this scheme will allow me to tease apart the differing effects of the AH and AB also, so I'll be a bit better informed as far as what I might want to include in potential future cycles based on my goals.

Yeah, unfortunately I just have the one bottle of Bulk coming. I'd rather not buy more, as the main reason I could justify buying what I have was with the 40% discounts during Thanksgiving and New Year's. I do have 2 extra bottles of Hard I was going to run with Lean this summer if you think it would be beneficial to dip into those for this cycle. I'm sure there will be another sale to replace what I would use before I run that cycle.I personally would go with a full dose of Bulk, so option 2 but that said I would run it for the length of option 1. Since you can't do this the I feel your best bet is option 1 since it will give you more time on Bulk.
I'm guessing you meant the first option, i.e. as originally outlined? Thanks for the input, everyone.Dosing as laid out will be fine.
Ya I noticed the same thing, it's a good sign you should be seeing some nice effects soonI'm guessing you meant the first option, i.e. as originally outlined? Thanks for the input, everyone.
Week 2 Update:
I figure I will go ahead and do the week 2 update now, since it looks like I'll be starting the Bulk tomorrow so parameters will change a bit.
The biggest difference I've noticed starting at the beginning of this week has been that my body temperature has been through the roof. It could partially be due to the fact that I've upped my food intake substantially, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it than that. It's actually kind of a nice "side effect" to deal with this time of year.
Other than that, not a whole lot new to report. Strength has continued to improve on most lifts. My weight is up about another 1.5 lbs. Libido seems to be about normal, and no other side effects to report. I'll continue to up the caloric intake and kill it in the gym and report back in a week.
Do it.I know 1 thing my strength wet through the freaking roof!!!
Big time.
I'm going to post a final review... 6 weeks is almost up may go 8
What have you been taking bud andromass with hard or androbulk ? . Wanna bulk up but I wanna gain more strength so am thinking hard and mass will suit me betterI know 1 thing my strength wet through the freaking roof!!!

I was planning to do an update today, so thanks for the segue.How are things going steve?
It's the combo you added more 4-DHEA with the AB and lowered your dose of AH which will help with the bloat from it. If you need to jump back on a higher dose of AH or add in some Erase and it should solve the issue.I was planning to do an update today, so thanks for the segue.
Week 3 Update:
Overall things are going well. I noticed the first couple nights after starting AB (Saturday and Sunday) that hunger was way up, even not long after a large dinner. The rest of the week, though, I've been dealing with some bloating issues. Not sure what's causing it, whether it's the drop in AH dose, the addition of AB, or something else entirely. It's just annoying as it makes it a little harder to get in as much food as I would like and it's a little harder to gauge progress when you're puffed up.
While weight has been fluctuating a bit, I would estimate I've gained about 5 lbs over the last 3 weeks. Body temp is still running hot, particularly after meals. Generally strength has continued to go up, but the aggression and drive in the gym can be somewhat hit or miss. Earlier in the week, for example, I'm doing deadlifts, and even though I went up 10 lbs from the previous week I was just on it that day and killed my rep goal. Then yesterday with squats, while I added 10 lbs from last week as well, man was it a grind getting those last few reps. And I'm not sure I was hitting the depth I would have liked. Could have something to do with whatever is causing the bloating, but at least overall lifts are still going up.
That about covers the highlights. I'll report in again in a week. And as I said in the OP I'll be doing halfway progress pics, so I'll get those posted over the weekend next week as well.
Sounds good, I have some Erase on hand I could add in. Thanks!It's the combo you added more 4-DHEA with the AB and lowered your dose of AH which will help with the bloat from it. If you need to jump back on a higher dose of AH or add in some Erase and it should solve the issue.
It's hard to say. For some it will, for some it won't. Guys who love strength usually welcome the "wet" bloat, as it usually correlates to better strength gains.Erase seems to be doing the trick as far as keeping the bloating under control. Just curious, though, will this interfere with the MoA of the Bulk or Mass? Just don't want to be shooting myself in the foot. I can deal with a little bloat if it means more gains in the long run.
Well, I really only care about strength in so far as I use it to gauge progress (i.e. muscle gain) towards my physique goals. And to be honest, I actually think I feel stronger when I don't feel like my stomach is about to pop.It's hard to say. For some it will, for some it won't. Guys who love strength usually welcome the "wet" bloat, as it usually correlates to better strength gains.
