Day one rediculous pump only hours after first dose, may be placebo, still good sign. Slight feeling of out of self, or disoriented. Not paying attention while driving and starring off into nothing, feels like abit of a buzz. Interesting, diet in check as of day one with ratio of 35p 40c 15f or 40p 45c 15f, not too worried. shooting for 300g of protien min, 350 carbs min ED. I am 6'3" 217 with 8 years lifting. Past cycles included M1Tx2 M1T-4AD, methyldien, M1P-masterdrol. I am 23 and will be 24 soon.

daily supps EFA's, BCAA's, multi, milk thistle, glucosamine chondrointin, celery seed.

Pct Clomid, rebound by AE, activate by AE, retain by AE, fenugreek.

I plan to ramp down with clomid, ramp up with rebound, and start my activate later so it runs past rebound and clomid. fenugreek ramping up. Usual dosage, open for ideas.

My goals are to lose 2% B.F, and will check today where i am currently at. Gain 10 pounds LBM. ADD 1 inch to calves thighs and lose 1 inch from waist.
Measurements to follow B.F percentage.

4 week halodrol, 4 week PCT
halo 50/50/50/75

clomid day 1 - 250 mg, day 2 - 200mg, week 1 - 150, week 2 - 100, week 3 - 75mg, rebound 25/50/50/75. fenugreek 3/4/5/6 Activate - not 100% yet any advice.

this PCT is advised by a AM friend but may be tweaked.

Split - chest, abs
hams/calves,
bis,tris
rest
quads,glutes
back, shoulders
cardio
rest

I usually do cardio daily but for brief periods so by adding a cardio/fat burn day i should notice some effect.

chest abs
bis tris....... I play rugby once a week and right now i am going to add rest days as needed. We'll see how this works if i get catabolic ill make changes but ive recently lowered my workout volume by as much as 30%, I can maintain my mass with 3 or 4 ,meals a day. If im not sore ill be more inclined to workout althought this isnt the best method of structuring.lol

Do you tend to overtrain easily? I'd think a young one like you on H-50 would be able to pull 3on/1off easily without getting anywhere near overtraining...

Definitely make sure you get enough rest bro. I know what it feels like to be tired all the time. I think my gains slow down and even stall when I feel too tired. Plus my workouts just suck when I don't have enough energy.

Log looks good......keep it up brother :D

Looking huge with the crazy pumps but strength has very limited if any noticable gains.

day 5 measurements

Neck- 18"
Shoulder(around body) - 54.5
Back - 48.5"
waist(at belly button) - 37.5
hips - 36.5
glute(around largest portion) - 40.5
thigh - left 24.5, right 25
thigh above knee - left 15.5, right 15.5
calves - left 14.5, right 14.5
Arms - left 16.9, right 17
forearms - left 13.5, right 13.5

Now my legs from the knee down suck and is my major focus, as my forearm is almost as big as my calf. always has been i have crap feet and ankles and have been skinny all my life, but now that ive added about 1.5 inches to my calves in 4 years and 4.5 inches to my arms it gotta be fixed. my legs are usually quite strong but need to look bigger too. wait till i post pics lol.

Found my tape on day 5 and lost my pre halo measurments, but with such a slow acting compound it should be accurate.

Calves can be successfully trained 2x and even 3x a week. SLOW, deep, painful 20-rep sets is where it's at, IMO.

Well i worked out 5 or so in a row so that had something to do with it. I did back and deads the da:blink: y before i started halo then did an entire split and did 2 hours of running for rugby. im a dope for doing it but i felt like i could get away with it. old habits die hard but i have to get smarter cause im not getting any younger.

Thanks grunt ill do that, i did calves istead of abs cause they are still trashed from a few days ago when i used my ab wheel before bed then the next day, did abs as part of my rugby training. If they arent sore ill do both abs and calves till i catch back up.

Personally I'd do 0/0/4/4/4/4... And if you're going to be using ATD, keep one cap a day going until you finish the bottle, as usually there's more than a PCT's worth to a bottle.

About the number of consecutive training days: Of course if you're doing some intense training for another sport, then you have to factor that in...

Yep I think finishing off the PCT with a low dose of ATD can do 2 things: stave off a rebound from the suddenly-stopped ATD levels, as well as having higher-than normal testosterone levels, which is good while having the ActivaTe. There is some notion that ActivaTe by itself might be somewhat suppressive, so I'd run a low dose of ATD with it to counteract that effect.

Moreover, since it CAN be a little suppressive, I feel it's the best idea to let the ATD do its job by itslef in the first 2 weeks prior to using the ActivaTe. Dr. D stated this before, I believe.

Yes, 0/0/4/4/4/4 was also my suggestion as I see to many people start on the first day of PCT and its a waste. I also agree on the ATD theory as well.

meal 4 protein shake, fresh fruit
meal 5 chicken breast, lettuce, whole wheeat wrap

meal 7 protein, milk

Rest day

Week 1 summary

Noticable fat loss, muscle hardness, and body changes.
muscles feel full and hard, no problems getting a pump.
Some lack of endurance noted with general fatique, this can be attributed to overtraining this week. I have become quite irritable but normally i am a high strung guy anyway. People just kkep doing **** to piss me off, at work with friends, in the community. I recognise there may be some halo 50 correlation but someone looking me in the eye being rude tends to set me off anyway. I want to cause physical and emotional pain to various people and hope to not kill anyone. Did i mention i havent had a vacation in 5 years since i was 18. Its my birthday friday and hope to alleviate some stress by having non alcoholic fun with friends and family. I have not snapped and do not feel any shut down, no acne, some lethargy but not out of the normal. I have had 5-6 hours sleep every day this week and NEED to improve upon this for various reasons. Going to workout tonight and hope to see an increase in strength, feel more rested today as i popped some ZMA to get more REM sleep. I havent had sex in three days so libido must be down or i would have got some by now, in long term relationships i tend to get more aroused when the sears catalogue falls on the floor, then when im in bed with my girlfriend.

A lot of users report that there are similarities between H-50 and SD. SD is known for being very dependent on carbohydrates, as it seems to suck them right out of the bloodstream. The moodiness you experience reminds me of hypoglycemia.

So i need to eat more hearty carbs,my carbs have been cionsisting of fruit, veggies, wraps and pitas. What do you recommend as i can say i have felt weak for being on a PH. This would explain the fatigue, and lack of strength increase to date. I will alter my diet, add oats to my protien shakes, eat more variety of carbs and try other things. Thanks grunt i will search hypoglycemia. AAHH more food, I will eat more rice, potatoes, fruit, and veggies, then i shall reap the benefits.

Yeh, once Bobo tried to positively rep me, but it was when he'd just cancelled out all his reps, so it gave me a red square with grey boxes next to it. That's a zero-positive rep. Too bad, I'd have like 500 more... :p

I definietly feel a differece if i dose with any coffee or tea in my system. the halodrol must have some sort of affect with stimulants. I dont drink much of either but had a hot chocolate for a bit of a morning wake up, minutes after dosing i felt the "buzz". Has to be a correlation.

Great log...I've been keeping up. I will be doing H-50 very soon. Did SD a while ago....v. good gains. I want to start cutting, so I'll use the H-50 to drop fat. I will post my proposed cycle once I get it finalized. I'd appreciate if you and Grunt could critique it. Would be much appreciated.

Current stats: 5'8", 203lbs, ~16-18% bf (a low point in my life, but I still have somewhat of a 6-pack visible...).

Desired results on H-50: Gain 8lbs of quality weight and LOSE fat.

****I really want to lean out....but I want to make this cycle the start of my lean-out. Should I do any sort of cardio while on it (if not running, perhaps power walking? frequency?). After the cycle, I'll start to do cardio (running, biking, swimming, etc). Thanks in advance for your help!

I will post last nights workout, meals. If you do cardio youll need to adjust your calories as my diet had doubled, but ive never been over 12-14%.

Are you keeping a log of your weight? It would be great to see daily values as your progress through your cycle.

Are you doing any cardio? Are you seeing a reduction in bodyfat? Thanks for the info!

I would consider adding Coenzyme Q10 as it sounds to be great and i have it in my cycle, what is pro liver is that a brand name? CoQ10 is for heart and brain health as well as a powerful antioxidant. Dosing would be once in the morning, and retails for around 30. CAD

weight was up yesterday as I weighed in at 221.5, now we'll see if it holds true today and on, im lovin the fat loss and am starting to see some vascularity rear its beastly head. I forgot my workout and meal log at home (at work now) so i have to post it tonight or tommorow. So in a 3 day span ive allegedly gained 5.5lbs. Mind you ive ate 5-6 meals this weekend as my birthday came and went i did not reach my daily goal, and i love to sleep in and leaves me fewer hours to get calories. later.

Once again good pump but the back felt weak as i was still kinda full of steak and rice when i got to the gym so the back workout never really got too intense until the pump at the end. poundages are similar to past workouts but for a bad back workout thats good. tris felt great and i did not want to overtrain as my calves are lacking ive sunstitued my eliptical warm up for stair climber to give them more training. Typical warmups are done 5 minutes at 70% HR.
