I also am thinking of Hdrol,Few things though,How much can i except to gain,What will i keep with proper pct,Also should the pct just be noval and a tboster.
I'm 15 days in to my first Hdrol cycle, so I'm not holding myself up as any kind of expert, but I can tell you that since Hdrol is a methylated 17aa compound, you will definitely need liver support. Typically, this means milk thistle. You can buy it alone in capsule form at most health stores, or as part of an on-cycle support package. Also, Primordial Performance has milk thistle in liquid form (Liver Juice) which is supposed to have 8x higher absorption.
I'm taking Hdrol (CEL) at 50mgs/day. I might bump up to 75mgs soon. My on-cycle support supps are Cycle Assist by CEL, which has milk thistle for liver, as well as other supps for blood pressure, prostate support, etc., Liver Juice by PP (I already had the Cycle Assist when they came out with this, that's why I'm running both.) I'm also taking my staples, which include a good multi, fish oil, glucosamine, etc.
You'll get a lot of answers for PCT, but you can run a solid OTC or get a SERM. Hdrol doesn't aromatize like the way Tren and some other sups do, so gyno shouldn't be an issue. Personally, I'm going the OTC route (PP's Testosterone Recovery Stack) although I'm looking at having a SERM on hand "just in case."
I think also that the length of the cycle will be important when considering your PCT. Keep it to 6 weeks or less (I'm doing 5). Also, since it's methylated, do NOT drink while on cycle. Be careful of caffeine too because your blood pressure will be elevated. I had a few cups of coffee at work Monday and had killer headaches for hours afterwards which I attribute to BP issues. So you probably don't want to run any pre workout stims, but that's just my opinion.
As to gains, it's too early for me to tell, but it seems like most people pick up and keep around 10lbs, but this will vary WIDELY depending on your starting weight, diet, training routine, etc.
And FYI, CEL as discontinued Hdrol. The only place currently making it THAT I KNOW OF is Primordial Performance in liquid form.
