| Banned | SD/Prostanz cycle Hello all, This seems to be the area where I fit best. I like many other am making my best efforts a regaining what once was. I have stayed in fair condition for most of my life but as we know life keeps us busy. Finally at this point in my life I can focus on me again. So I have researched and kicked off on my first cycle to the new me. Let me say I have and am currently taking my preventative supplements both pre and post (pct w/nolva). I am looking to attain lean mass but am not limiting my calories only keeping them clean. Any and all feedback is appreciated and taken accordingly. I am currently on day 6 @ 20mg of SD. My planned cycle is … 5 weeks SD 20 SD 20/30 SD 20 Prostanz 75 Prostanz 100 Prostanz 100 supplementing AX Rampage pre WO- does seem to push the energy level a bit. Current status is some hardness beginning to appear and water consumption is up alot. Appetite seems to have grown as well. General mood and energy levels are good. By all measures this seemed to be a good choice for lean bulking. |

| Registered User | Is SD something that you would recomend? |

| Back on track, BACK ON STRONG!!! | Hey, I would bump the Prostanz to atleast 100mg as it is underdosed. Possibly up to 125mg ed. |

| Banned | I was considering raising the dosage of Prostanz as most reports concur with the undersized doses. Perhaps 100mg to start, with growth to 150/175mg would be more apporpriate. Any input?? As for recommending SD I will refrain till I complete my cycle. But it is obvious I give it some creditability or I wouldn't be on the cycle. Time will tell if my decsion was wise. |

| Back on track, BACK ON STRONG!!! | Yeah, starting with 100mg would be good. Then up to 150 and see how that turns out for you. Probally would stay there to be honest. |

| Board Supporter | Have you considered running the SD at only 1 a day for an extra week and keeping the Proztanz at 75mgs? Prostanz wont help ya much on its own, it seems to be more anti-catabolic at 75 a day. Most epople I've herd from expirence all sorts of issues ramping up the doses above 125. The extra SD at 1 a day (or half a day) would work to help keep your gains and hopefully allow the extra glycogen storrage to lessen a little- could help keep the weight around the stomach off after. After 3 weeks the SD starts to loose effect it seems. You can use the 2 weeks of Prostanz to solidify your gains, and start PCT durring the last week of Prostanz. I have put on 10lbs this way and 3 weeks after have maintained it. |

| Banned | I was considering an extra week of SD for that reason. So to make sure I am understanding you correctly.... SD 20 SD 20 SD 20/30 SD 10 Pro 100 Pro 125/150 Pro 125/150 are we on the same page? |

| Banned | day 7 Still kickin the weights! Last night I jumped my poundage’s by at least 10lbs. Energy levels are good, still no perceptible sides. Darn glad I am not a delivery driver or trucker. Frequency of urination has increased a fair amount. The water intake increases as well. Looking forward to the 2nd week, as most report gains coming on steady by then. I have been doing a bit more research on cycling with Prostanz and all indicators point towards using it most effectively as a bridge from SD into PCT. It indicates to me that it will assist in preserving mass and transitioning to a lean harder state. Of course keeping in mind cycle lengths and adequate PCT. A bridge involves transitioning from heavier androgenic-anabolic agents, which are highly suppressive, to the less-androgenic but still highly anabolic compounds. I am suggesting that Prostanz fits this requirement well. Do we have anyone that can clarify or certify this theory? ![]() |

| Registered User | Actually Superdrol is extremely anabolic and only very slightly androgenic whereas prostanozol is the reverse, that is much more androgenic than anabolic... And being so different is what makes it so good to stack them together... Everything I write is for entertainment purposes only. MOD @ ibeforums | MOD & SMOD @ other places, shhhh... QUIET!!!! |

| Banned | Thanks for the input, as I strive to understand just a little more everyday. Beginning to wonder about my dosage. Been at 20 for about 4 days with nothing to write home about, or should I say based on other's reporting. Feedback welcome on bumping to 30 for week 2. This mornings weigh in shows a 4-5 lbs gain for the first week. I normaly have to dose heavy on meds and OTC as well. |

If so, and you are above 225lbs consider going to 30mg/day. Otherwise read more logs and find out other's dosing/gains. IMHO you don't need to increase. | |

| Banned | As I have read in many logs it seems to vary based on ones resistance or sensitivity. (for the lack of a more pc correct term) Weight gain is easy for me, always has been. I have been consuming allot more calories. Keeping it clean as well. I have not done any measurement as of yet but notice no increases. The waist as far as the clothes go, feels just fine. I may have lost some BF as I notice what appears to be a little more definition in places. I have been doing mild cardio about 3 days a week in the am. I put the pounds on real fast, which I attribute mostly to carb loading and water. I was basically cutting previous to this attempt. I make this inquiry for more info as I am in no hurry to up the dosage. But I do want to make sure I am understanding what my body is telling me, so I can maximize my efforts and gains with the tools have I chosen to use. So as to not waste the cycle either. In a nut shell, the most efficient and effective application of said tools without going overboard |

| Registered User | Please state bodyweight, height and approximate bf%. Also, diet is as important when on androgens as not, so please provide macronutrient breakdown. Usually, the first thing you need to do before increasing your dosage of androgens is to increase your dosage of FOOD. Everything I write is for entertainment purposes only.

| Banned | This morning 199lbs 6' tall approx 15%BF. I had dropped during my previous phase perhaps 5%BF over 12 weeks and falling to 1500cals 45\35 Protein\Carb split. Since I have ramped up to 3000 + @ 40\50 split. I eat instinctively as I have lead this life style naturally for many of my adult years. I did run a log till I get the hang of my meals and portions, then I wing it so to speak. Less stressfull that way. Life along with divorces and such has taken its toll. I am recomping to attain my goals once again. |

| Registered User | For someone your size, 20mg ED of SD should be enough. NEEDING 30mg would be surprising. Perhaps going to 400g protein ED would do good. How's the lethargy? Everything I write is for entertainment purposes only. MOD @ ibeforums | MOD & SMOD @ other places, shhhh... QUIET!!!! |
