thanks. i have been getting a lot of compliments on a more full look i have. Im only in week 2. Im in a fraternity and the marine corps and my girlfriend is competing for a state title in the usa pageant system so my diet is extremely clean cause i train her and i work out twice a day to then i have fraternity comps that require cardio and strength so i have leaned out a lot just from the clean eating and the hard work. loving the osta. i am feeling a little tired though but im pretty sure its just from working so damn hard. i doubled up my bcaas and increased my carb intake to try and help my recovery and energy levels.

Day 3 of running Super Mandro, Andro the Giant, and LeGenD (1-DHEA, 4-DHEA, and LGD)

I'm loving this portion of the cycle so far. I am still taking 2 caps(total of 10 mg) of Ostar1ne for the first 2 weeks to give the new stuff time to kick in.

Had a nice shoulder and arms workout. My biceps got a CRAZY pump. Also, ever since I started this phase, I have been noticing an increased libido and VIVID sex dreams. Pretty awesome considering I rarely have had those kinds of dreams.

Workout went something like

Arnold Press
30 x 12
40 x 10
45 x 8
45 x 6

Machine Press
1 plate each side x 10

Seated Facepulls
2 x 12

Facepulls
2 x 12

Cable Curls / Overhead Tricep Extension Machine superset
4 x 12 (these felt awesome but I was very distracted by this smoking hot Asian girl doing rope crunches in front of me in tight blue pants...tried so hard not to creep but I had to take a peek!)

DB curls / Rope Pushdown superset
4 x 10

Incline Curl Machine / Tricep Press Machine
4 x 10

Shoulder Press Machine
3 x 10, very slow negatives

Lateral Raise Machine
3 x 8

Ab work

Feeling great today, but I felt some nipple sensitivity so I decided to bump Adex to 0.25 mg EOD. If it continues, I'll bump it to 0.5 mg EOD. I also have a bottle of Letrone, but was thinking of using it in PCT since it helps with IGF. Open to suggestion though.

Sex drive is great, better than on Osta and Dermacrine.

Rest day today, so no workout to log. Definitely still feel a nice pump in my arms and shoulders from yesterday.

Cycle is still going well. I'm getting great pumps and have noticed an increase in my appetite. Unfortunately, my GF got sick and I think she spread the bug to me. Hopefully it doesn't hit me too hard though. I was still able to have a quality leg workout tonight.

I'm still really enjoying this cycle. Tomorrow will be the 2 week mark for Super Mandro, Andro the Giant, and LeGenD, and the end of me taking Ostar1ne. I've been getting great workouts in and don't have any real complaints. Some very mild lethargy and lowered libido, but nothing serious. I definitely am glad I am running Adex on this cycle though--I felt my nips burning when I started and tried to go without it.

Last night, I took 10 mg of MK-677 because I was feeling a bit anxious/restless. It helped me have a nice night of sleep, increased my (naturally bad) appetite, and gave me a nice sense of calm today. I plan to continue the Mk throughout the cycle, as it is a bulk anyway. I tried taking 20 mg per day of MK over the summer while cutting on an EC stack, but it didn't match that goal and 20 mg caused lethargy. Hopefully 10 is my sweet spot.

Notice that I'm getting more "'miring" looks in the gym. Plan to keep my dosages the same (Mandro at 330 mg/day, Andro at 330 mg/day, LeGenD at 4 mg/day, Adex at 0.25 mg EOD, Ralox at 60 mg/day, Tadalafil at 5 mg/day, Ar1micare at 8 caps/day, and now MK-677 at 10 mg/day).

Call me a madman, but I decided to add DermaTrest on top of this stack for weeks 3-8. If it had been available when I was planning my cycle, I would've included it, but since it became available later, I decided to add it on.

While I was feeling alright with 4-DHEA, after day 2 of DermaTrest I can say I feel MUCH better. So, my current set up is...
1-DHEA at 330 mg/day
4-DHEA at 330 mg/day
LeGenD at 4 mg/day
DermaTrest at 50 mg/day
Adex at 0.25 mg EOD
Ralox at 60 mg/day
Tadalafil at 5 mg/day
Ar1micare at 8 caps/day
MK-677 at 10 mg/day

I want this cycle to be the best it can be since it's one of the last cycles I will be able to run before I graduate and start working a likely crazy schedule. So my plan is to stick with it like this, PCT, then run my late winter/early spring DermaTrest and Tr1umph recomp.

ZackD89,

Ralox dosage can't be correct is it? Should be something around 30mg or 60mg if you are experiencing any signs of gyno. Nice looking cycle though. I was thinking of running something similar but maybe throwing Androvar in to the mix.

What benefits are you seeing from Tadalafil @5mg/day besides the obvious? Lower blood pressure? Better pumps at the gym?

Viagra gives me a headache and a moon face the next day. But, that is at 100mg at a time. Never tried low dose Tadalafil especially daily. I can't remember what if any ill effects it had on me (but that was probably at 20mg).

TShoot Good eye, I meant to say 60 mg of Raloxifene. I've been logging it as 1 for 1 mL which equals 60 mg. I've had gyno since puberty and it really is helping to remove the last of it.

Tadalafil at 5 mg/day is awesome. Healthier blood pressure, better pumps, prostate health, etc. Sometimes I switch to 10 mg EOD, but any higher than that and I get headaches and stuffy nose. Check out this post: steroidology.com/forum/anabolic-steroid-forum/654641-cialis-amazing-drug-all-its-benefits-off-cycle-use.html

Are you thinking about running this type of cycle with DermaTrest, or just the Andros and LGD?

Could you explain what you did to reduce your pubertal gyno? Cause I have pubertal gyno as well. I don't have any lumps or anything but it's just fatty tissue deposited around the nipple area

Thanks for the info. The main complaint I have is stuffy nose/headache/moon face with Viagra and Cialis but I haven't used them in low doses. I'm going to order some today and try it.

I am going to run a cycle of the Andros and LGD but not DermaTrest since I am on low dose Test for TRT. My diet and workout haven't been great lately so I want to clean up that aspect before I start.

The LGD dose seems light at 4mg day. Any plans to bump it up to 8 or 12mg to see how you react to it? I haven't run it myself yet so maybe 4mg is enough. I may run LGD alone to see how I react to it at different doses and then throw in the Andros.

I need to find a good sale on the Andros. This stuff ends up being more expensive then regular gear.

So, not trying to thread crap but just help a brotha' out.
demonfox, do a search on "pubertal gyno raloxifene" or something similar. I have heard positive things on 60-120mgs of Raloxifene. It is not a quick fix. It usually takes months to see significant results. You could also add in Letro @ 1-2.5mg daily if you wanted to speed up the process but you WILL crush your estrogen level to almost nothing. Been there, done that and it's not fun. No libido, achy joints, crappy mood..but, it has worked for me anytime I started getting gyno that I couldn't keep at bay with a normal AI. So, at the time, it was worth it for me.

Good luck.

Like TShoot said, I'm using Raloxifene at 60 mg per day to get rid of my pubertal gyno. My first cycle was Epistane and that helped with about half of it, now I'm using Ralox to get rid of the best. I like running it with an AI too, but something more mild like low dose Arimidex (like 0.25 mg E3D).

I have no complaints with LGD at 4 mg, but I haven't run it solo so I can't say for sure. But most things I've read about LGD show a point of diminishing returns. I might try kicking it up to 8 mg just to experiment though.

I'm intrigued by your TRT, LGD, and Andro cycle. Is the idea that TRT will provide the base level of Test, 4-Andro will potentially add to it, Epi will keep it dry, and 1-Andro and LGD will add overall muscle building goodness?

As far as my cycle, I had a killer shoulders + arms workout today. Definitely feeling the DermaTrest. I had more endurance and aggression, but my overall mood outside the gym is still good and calm. Had a great pump and hit the shoulders hard with some clean and presses, which I hadn't done in a while.

ZackD89, That is the general thought process. How well it works, we'll see. I probably won't start until another month or so. I am anxiously waiting to hear how this cycle works out for you.

More like low dose Cialis. Lowers blood pressure, increases pumps during work outs. Overall, supposed to be healthy for your heart and your prostate. You are young enough that you probably don't need to worry about it. I have 30 years on you and just started hearing about it. But, I haven't been on the boards for a while.

LIke TShoot said, low dose Cialis has numerous health benefits. I posted a link to a thread explaining it on Steroidology on page 2 of this thread.

How are you enjoying your cycle? You are doing everything besides the Tadalafil and DermaTrest, right (so, 1-DHEA, 4-DHEA, and LGD)?

Had a great chest and back workout today. PRed on DB Bench, then did some V-Bar rows and really felt them working my back. Went heavy on both of those, so I finished up with some pump sets of cable crossovers superset with lat pulldowns.

GF commented that my arms looked huge today (for me). She said she doesn't want them to get any bigger! :p

I upped my Arimidex to 0.25 mg ED because of the Trest. I also have Exemestane on hand, but will see how the Arimidex handles the estrogen first.

Haha no way! I still have a long way to go IMO. I know she'll like it as long as I stay lean enough.

I started a Brazilian jiu jitsu class today and it kicked my ass! It meets once a week so I think it'll be a nice balance to lifting. I've never done any martial arts before. It was cool to learn some techniques and kept my heart rate up the whole time.

That's great! BJJ is a great stress reliever and you sure learn a lot that you can use the rest of your life. Throw in some Muay Thai and you'll be pretty well rounded. It's just finding time for everything.

Sorry for the lack of updates, to anyone following this log.

The addition of DermaTrest has been amazing. After 1 week at 50 mg, I upped it to 75 mg. I'm getting size, pumps, fat loss, energy, libido--the works.

My libido is so high that I almost cheated on my serious GF of 6 years tonight. I met a really cool girl--Asian short and really busty (my gf is black and medium height with a big butt). We flirted from the first moment. She invited me over her apt today after I worked out, and I went. I was about to make a move when I realized that I should do the right thing and tell her the truth--that I had a gf but was feeling really conflicted. She was cool about it--disappointed but happy I told her. If we didn't have a ton of mutual friends, I probably would've gone through with it. Not proud of that, just being honest.

Sorry for the rant, but I guess it relates to Trest haha. I have nobody else I trust to tell BC all of my friends have big mouths.

Only downside of the cycle is cramps in my shins, which I think is from the LGD based on my research. Even with Taurine I get them. I decided to start Cardar1ne now at 7 mg per day to help make walking less painful. Seems to be doing good things, though I'm still getting mild cramping. I have flag feet so I may be more prone to this side. Either way, it's very minimal, especially compared to the nightmare that is Epistane.

Funny story. I could just picture it. You are probably a better man than me. I was never good at turning down full frontal assaults especially hot numbers with a big chest.

So a little off topic. What kind of sides did you get with Epistane and what did you do to help alleviate them? I am sitting on stash of it now.

Man, it was tough telling her! Ever since I saw her I wanted to **** her--part of me still can't believe I told her the truth. Part of me feels good about it though. Plus I know she would've found out about my GF form facebook or our mutual friends and some serious **** could've gone down. I think it still ended with sexual tension though, so I think that avenue is open in case we both decide to be bad haha. I've never really thought about cheating but damn this girl just turns me on and is cool too. That's the only Trest side I've had though--too much female attention to handle! :banana:

Epistane ****ed my psychology up. I was a mix of mean, short-tempered, and depressed. Also my balls shrank way more than on my current cycle. I took StanoShred at 600 mg per day with the Epistane, but still had those sides. Maybe with 4-Andro and DermaTrest it would've been better, but I don't think I'd take Epistane again. I think it might have been a bad idea to use StanoShred (or would be a bad idea to use EpiAndro) as a test base since it's so dry. Might've had low E?

Thanks!

What is your impression of LGD so far?
I never ran it solo, so I can't say very scientifically, but my feeling is that it is great for strength/muscle fullness, but causes some lethargy and shin cramps. I ordered another bottle of LeGenD and plan on running it with Dermacrine at some point.

I just started taking it tonight so I may be able to chime in on what it does. I am going to run it at 10-15mg daily depending on what, if any, sides I get. Figured I would run it for at least 8 weeks with a 250mg Test Cyp base (TRT dosage).

Fantastic work out today. Didn't feel like going to the gym, but once I got warmed up I really got into it. Shoulders and Arms day. My arms especially felt super full and pumped. Might be my ego, but I felt like I was getting 'mired pretty hard haha.

On the down side, I noticed my ankles and feet were swollen today. I'm pretty sure it's from the MK-677, so I'm going to take two days off the MK and see if the swelling goes down.

Haha, tell me about it. I think what cracked me was she kept asking what I was doing later that night, and I had plans with my GF, so it was a constant reminder of my relationship.

Had a good chest and back workout today. Felt the pump and had great mind-muscle connection. Foot is still swollen and I actually had to wear a pear of looser fitting shoes today, but I think it is going down. I'm going to keep an eye on it and will definitely stay off the MK until it's back to normal.

Wow, 12lbs heavier and looking leaner and only slightly halfway through? That's phenomenal! Congratulations! Hope fully you took some before and will take some after pics. That is as solid, if not more so, than a lot of pure AAS cycles.

Hit a deadlift PR: finally got to 4 plates (405 lbs). Previous max was 365. I have only been deadlifting once every 3 weeks or so, so I was happy and surprised about the PR.

Changed my dosing timing today. I've been having trouble sleeping, so I decided to do all 75 mg of DermaTrest after my morning shower. Got a bit irritable after, but it was manageable. I also took LGD right before my workout instead of in the morning.

So I've been sick with a cold for about a week. Pretty sure I caught it from my school--heard a cough going around and sure enough, it got me. Plus I went to NYC this weekend and pushed myself even though I knew I should've rested. Trying to get better and take it easy. No gym for a few days while I recover.

Cold has gone away and I'm feeling back to normal.

For the last two weeks of this cycle, I decided to drop the Andros and up both the DermaTrest and LGD. I'm doing 100 mg of DermaTrest and 8 mg of LGD. I wanted to see if I noticed a difference. Honestly, I'm feeling better on this set up and it's way less pills. I feel leaner, fuller, and tighter. The shin splints are gone too. Since those are gone, I've been able to do the stairmaster at the end of my workouts.

Hit some nice strength improvements. Incline pressed 155 x 3 on chest/back day, and Front Squatted 225 x 2 on leg day. May not be the most impressive numbers, but those are improvements for me.

My libido isn't very high anymore, but it was like that with the Andros too. Guess I've just hit the point in my cycle where my body misses regular ol' Test. I've really enjoyed this run, but am looking forward to PCT and putting the boys back to work too.

If I were to redo the cycle, I'd probably lay it out like this:
DermaTrest - 50/50/75/75/100/100/100/100
LGD - 4/4/4/4/8/8/8/8
Aromasin - 12.5 mg EOD throughout
Ar1micare Pro throughout
*Optional additions: MK-677 at 10 mg ED throughout, Cardarine at 14-21 mg ED for last few weeks (and maybe through PCT)

I don't think I'd use the Andros again. They might work, but they definitely pale in comparison to Trest and LGD.

Hit 2 plates on bench for the first time ever today! Put up 225x2x2. Felt good man.

I'm kind of sad the cycle is coming to end and I'll have to take a few months off, but I'm really happy about my results. My arms in particular look much bigger--been getting lots of compliments on them.

BTW, my upper chest has been red for a while. My guess is it's from the DermaTrest, although I apply it on my shoulders and arms. Hopefully it goes away once I start PCT.

My girlfriend chewed me out tonight for getting "too muscular" for her taste. She accused me of being on steroids, haha. She knows I take "supplements" but I've never explained PHs, SARMs, etc.

I am going to start PCT tomorrow because of the fight. Kind of a bummer, but me promising to stop taking what I have been taking calmed her down, and I only had a few days left anyway.

Not having a go here but not sure how you can laugh when she accuses you of being on steroids. You are (and have previously been) on steroids. Epi, epi-andro, trest, etc etc are all designer steroids.
Just because you aren't pinning or they're available OTC doesn't mean they're not a steroid.

Day 1 of PCT.

Still feel like I am "on", and still looking kind of red. Hopefully that goes away soon. I am pretty sure it was a reaction to the DermaTrest, based on the timing of the redness. It isn't too bad, but it is noticeable. Either way, I'd still take DermaTrest again--its effects are worth some redness.

Took my Clomid, Toremifene, Exemestane, Tadalafil, Sup3r PCT, and Cardar1ne today. Other than the nasty taste of the 4 RCs, it went fine. Today was a rough day emotionally because my GF found out that she failed the bar exam, so I just spent time with her and tried to cheer her up. I plan on going to the gym tomorrow though.

Day 3 of PCT.

First workout of PCT today. I noticed a decrease in aggression, but nothing too much. It was Shoulders and Arms day, and it went pretty well. Strength was decent although no PRs were set. I need to do a better job of warming up my shoulders because lately I've been feeling a muscle pain in my left anterior delt after pressing, which makes my other shoulder work difficult. Normally, I just warm up by pressing an empty barbell.

Anyway, arm workout also went well. Noticed a good pump. Nothing groundbreaking here. I did my DB curls seated on a bench with back support to help keep my aggravated shoulder out of the exercise.

Did cardio after my workout. I used the same difficulty setting on the stairmaster as I have been doing the past few weeks, but my heart rate stuck around 140 instead of 160. Nothing too shocking about that--the DermaTrest and LGD were causing a higher heart rate.

Emotions are good. Energy level is a bit low, but coffee is all I really need (and I'm a big fan of coffee in the autumn anyway). I feel my libido slowly coming back to normal. It's hard to explain the difference in DermaTrest libido and normal libido, but I guess I will put it like this: on cycle, I felt horny, but I wanted to flirt and feel that sexuality more than actually have sex. IDK if that makes any sense.

My girlfriend chewed me out tonight for getting "too muscular" for her taste. She accused me of being on steroids, haha. She knows I take "supplements" but I've never explained PHs, SARMs, etc.

I am going to start PCT tomorrow because of the fight. Kind of a bummer, but me promising to stop taking what I have been taking calmed her down, and I only had a few days left anyway.
if she doesn't like the person you are trying to be, why bother?

That's a deeper question than I expected to get on this log. We have been together for a few years and I wouldn't break up with her for gains. I like that she likes how I currently look. I suppose it is a balancing act--you want someone who likes how you already look, but supports your efforts to make gains. Normally, my body changes slower so she has more time to adjust to the change, but with this cycle the change came faster, especially in my arms.

Yesterday was back and chest day. I deadlifted and once again was able to pull 405, but only for 1 set of 1 rep. Ripped a callous off my right hand, so I had to cut the workout short. After deadlifting, I grabbed a bandaid and did 5 sets of a machine bench press, then called it a day. The open wound on my hand was bugging me and the bandaid was barely staying on.

No real PCT sides. Starting to have normal libido come back. Balls are starting to go back to normal size. Energy is fine. I did have some weird emotional swings last night and I didn't sleep well. I was feeling tired around 10:30 PM, but didn't lay down until 11:15 PM. I think that screwed up my body's rhythm--should've listened and laid down at 10:30.

I don't feel as "alpha" walking down the street as when I was on cycle. But when I walk now, I can walk without the pain of the shin cramps that I believe LGD gave me. I'd recommend dosing LGD at night or preworkout to minimize the shin cramps, if anyone else is worried about them.

Day 10 of PCT

I'm feeling pretty good overall. Everything is recovering slowly but surely. My libido isn't back to normal, but it definitely is higher than it was on cycle. I'm getting a bit leaner with the Cardar1ne and cardio. I've been taking Ep1c Unleashed preworkout and I think it is helping me maintain my gains and increasing vascularity. I miss the aggression and increasing size from my cycle though!

Had a good shoulder workout yesterday. Pressed for reps rather than strength since my shoulder was acting up last week. Then I hit arms and got a crazy bicep pump--I was shocked by that. Today I did chest and back and was able to get 225x2 again. I'm trying to maintain my strength and it seems to be sticking!

Crazy appetite today. Might have to get a bacon burger.
