OK. Well, I assume it may look a bit weird to some how I shaped it, but I wanted to give the body time to adjust both on and off. (Ramping up and down the compounds.)
Where I did this is August/Sept the goal was not a bulk. I can tell you some of the outcomes though:
- Even just on one pill a day (of the stronger stuff, which is 15mg superdrol) for just 14 days, there was a definite effect. My training and diet were very on point, very. The main change I noticed from it was I hardened up, became more vascular and I leaned out a bit. Now diet was clean and I was doing cardio, but I know my body over the years and this was just a tad more, no question about it!
- I also noticed a slight increase in appetite. Now I generally have a healthy appetite, but I did notice towards the second week, it was going up (Ive learned firsthand now though, for me, with this main compound, it will partition the nutrients quite well!)
- A slight increase in aggression as well. Not huge, I would actually almost just call it more of an increased focus perhaps, a lift in mood maybe even.
- I'll call this last point durability. What I mean is like the 'protection' it added during workouts. Some moves over the years you learn "if I do that exercise that intense, that many times a week, etc... I will be sore." With this I noticed a definite kinda forcefield. Joints felt pretty good and muscle soreness/recovery was slightly improved overall. Nice.
These were the main good things I noticed. Measurements and weight didn't fluctuate by more than maybe half an inch and 3-4 lbs, but, the recomp effect was great! Really suprised me, but I kept my food intake at maintenance level at best! Which is what I attribute to helping me get lean and increase hardness/vascularity at the same time. (So the holding onto muscle while dieting, I experienced the real meaning of it.)
Now for the not so great. Lol, Well, we gotta be honest, right? It's all a learning experience.
Really only 3, maybe really only 2
- Libido, drop. I now understand what shut down means. Can't say I like it, but it's a very odd state of being. It was noticable though, the lack of interest. You wanted to be interested, but... Gr.
- Towards the end, my calve pumps during cardio... BROOTAL!!!! Un-real!!!! I had to curb my jogs down, either duration and/or speed cuz they were intense. Now, as I pushed through even minimum cardio, by the end the calves looked fuller than I ever seen em, but the pump!!!
- Lastly, the difficulty in keeping the gains. Because the gains I think were mainly conditioning related, even after coming off the pills slowly and not from a huge dose, a lot of the effect is dissipating. (I just finished PCT.)
Why I said above maybe only 2 bad things though is because, I realize now after trying this I think I learned some things, maybe valuable. I think the # 1 thing is (and be gentle on me here) but diet doesnt need to be as perfect (clean) as mine was on.... AFTER is when it seems to be even more imprtant! I think a big reason I lost a lot of the conditioning after was because my diet took some definite hits with going on long weekend vacations like 3 of the 4 weeks of PCT... I didnt let it go to Hell, but the food that was around, I figured better to eat bad than not at all... Life, sometimes what can you do (The vacas were Hella fun though, so again, no huge regret.)
So, what I learned, in a nutshell: Pro-stanivar, real deal. Diet on, not as important as diet after perhaps.
There, I'll leave it at that for now, lolz. ;O)
