| Banned  | PP/Xmass/Trn/Zol - over the hill stack? Tis the season of change and time for another round. I have begun an interesting stack of components. Hoping for mass gains with a dry finish. I doubt if I will have the time to update on a regular basis due to the time of the year and other duties. But I felt others may want to know a little about this stack and its results, so I will make a decent attempt of keeping an account. All things are in order from pre-loaded supps to a (SERM/ATD/ACTIVATE/DHEA/FENU/PGH) PCT program. As always clean bulking with 40/40/20 ratios and carb loading 1-2 days a week. Letting the body tell me what it needs. I am on the second day administering to the rat ... PP/X-mass 2-3caps ea ED wk 1-4 TRN 4-6mg wk 3-6 Zol 150-200mg wk 2-6 I may experiment with carb restriction during the last week or so of the cycle but NOT during PCT. Pressing ON... |

| Banned | There is one Methyl in the stack from my understanding. Big plus there. Dr. D I believe had written something to the effect of multi-oral doesn't always mean 2x the toxicity as well. I won't attempt to quote him. I am hitting all support supps with the same tenacity so as to not miss a lick. As I read, TRN has had good anecdotals. As I know none of them personaly, but feel good about the board general population as opinions and advice go. I am also looking to keep dosing down but achieve a synergy. I feel comfortable with it but will adjust as my body tells me, up or down. I might add that I look at it as the time frame I will consider adding a component. The Zol may be delayed if I feel the need, as an example. So here I am at the start with three good weeks to evaluate and adjust if needed. I tend to go with the cycles of the body and how it adapts. I have and am still considering moving the Zol back 2 weeks and extending to 8 weeks. I do like the finish it lends but as I consider TRN I may not need it yet. I had considered TST as a component as well but chose not. This choice seems to provide the best combo with low methyl based on current stock and a bulking cycle.  |

| Banned | Today is the fifth day of PP/Xmass. Nothing notable at this time, but anxious to hit the weights later in the day. I have been packing the calories with a jump of approx 3 pounds since the start. Starting this week I expect to hit the weights hard and heavier than I have been to this point. As I am expecting things to start kicking in. |

| Banned | Yesterdays workout went well. Stamina is up, as I felt like I could have kept going. Recovery was better than expected. Look forward to the next visit. In a nutshell it's coming on. By weeks end I should be in full swing. All systems are coming online. Hungry most of the time as well. Smooth water to this point. Pressing On... |

| Banned | Thanks for the support! I feel great overall. Moods are just as good. Plumbing is fully operational and running at normal tolerances. BP is stable and even my sleep has been slightly improved. I am in good health with no broken bones or surgery yet to date. I believe this lifestyle has taken good care of me over the years. Believe it! With various incidents/accidents along the way I am in pretty good shape. My strength has kept me going and minimized my injuries over the years. Not to say I don't have any wear and tear. Time takes its toll on everyone. Just don't have to take it laying down. It appears I am bloating some, but feeling fuller as well. It was predicted to be a wet start with a dry finish. So far so good. Pressing ON... |

| Registered User  | Smoky, Keep us informed as to progress, body weight increase, lifting increases, asthetic improvements, mood, energy.......etc. Also, even if you are not seeing alot of feedback here keep posting because we are reading. I am curious, is it the Xmass that is causing the retension ? The last one I ran was PP and I had no retension....... |

| Banned | Time for an update. Body weight is up about 10-12 pounds with some bloating. I decided to increase PP and Xmass to 3 caps a day. Skin seems a bit more oily and the scalp is a bit itchy. Retention is with me with out doubt. I am prepared to deal with it if it gets bad enough. I figure a little Adex @ .5mg eod would be a place to start. I am attempting to modify the diet some to see if I can have an effect. The appetite is in full swing as I could eat everything in site or so I feel anyway. Since I increased the dosage sleep patterns have changed. Harder falling asleep and staying asleep. No other sides to report at this time. Pressing ON... |

| Registered User | Body weight up 10-12 pounds is good, since you are retaining water what part of that increase is lean mass would you say ? Just a simple educated guess..... Also, how is your strength along with this weight gain ? |

| Banned | Bloat is quite apparent at this point. I have decided to administer anastrazole starting @ .5mg EOD to address the issue. |

| Banned | Weighed in this morning at 205, that is about a 15 lb. increase. Feeling pretty good still. I am adding the TRN today at 4mg. Getting pumps via simple activities but so far nothing as wicked as a SD pump. Pressing ON... |

| Banned | Todays workout showed strength increases in all movements. No problems with BP, systems running normal. Hawthorne and Celery Seed are my bread and butter there. I notice the wheels get a good pump going early in the day and stay that way as well. Only look forward to the next workout. |

| Banned | Weigh in this morning was 206 lbs. All things are moving along. No sides to report. This week I will either increase the TRN or consider adding ZOL. I am leaning towards bumping the TRN. The TRN seems to add a level of hardness some what similar to ZOL. I have been running 1mg Adex EOD for the bloat with good results. Hope to stop the Adex after next week. Energy and strength has been so abundant I am tossing in some additional light work on off days.(currently running a 3 day split) Curious to see if this puts me into an over trained state or mor |
