This will be a log of my cycle of Dbol + Epi. Earlier this year I experienced some chronic muscle soreness/swelling/fatigue in my arms, my forearms, biceps and parts of my shoulders would swell up and would be semi-paralyzed with pulsing pain, after only 1-2 4 minute grappling rounds, or 3-4 pullups/chinups. I took a couple of weeks off from training, a couple of weeks turned into around 4. Now I've been at the gym for 6 weeks getting back on track, only daring 1-2 judo sessions per week as I felt some symptoms returning. I decided I would try a mild dbol cycle to see how it would work for injury prevention, and since I still have more than half a bottle of epi around, and it's a class I steroid (isn't it?) I figured I'd throw some in, and see if it helps me get some minor gains while at it. Also I'm guessing the anti-e properties of it might reduce the water weight of the dbol.
I am a fan of mild cycles, and my experience with havoc and epi before were exactly that: mild but noticable gains: increased vascularity, increased strength, and slow but steady lean mass gain. This time the aim is different, but the idea is similar, modest goals, modest dosage.
My stats:
Age: 25
Years training: 3
Previous AAS experience: a 4 week havoc cycle, a 3 week epi cycle, cut short due to joint creakage.
Cycle goal: injury prevention, hopefully +5-10lb and a little strength increase.
Height: 1.90cm
Starting weight: 96kg (~210lb)
Dosing system:
10mg Dbol around noon
10mg Dbol + 10mg epi 1-2 hours before lifting/judo
PCT:
My previous experiences with epi have not required PCT beyond tribulus and resveratrol, so that's what I'm planning to do now. Before I've used 1600mg of resveratrol for the first 5 days, then tapered it down to 600mg, by decreasing it by 200mg every two days, so 120 200mg caps last me for 20 days, at the same time taking scitec tribu-x at 4 caps per day. This is something I grabbed out of my ass, and worked for me twice so far (no shutdown, no decreased libido). I do however have nolva on hand, just in case.
Throughout PCT I will be taking silymarin at 600mg per day.
Supplements:
NOW Eco-Green Multivitamin
Fish Oil (3 tbsp /day)
Silymarin 600mg
Zinc 60mg
Saw palmetto berry extr. 160mg
Pygeum Africanum Bark extr. 10mg
Stinging nettle root extr. 250mg
Pumpkin seed oil 950mg
Cissus 40% ketosterones 2000mg
Taurine 5000mg
Animal flex, 1 dose per day
One thing that I've been thinking of adding is hawthorn berry extract, but I'm not sure if my BP will be a problem at such low doses. If however I up the epi to 20mg ed, then I'm thinking BP could be an issue.
Before judo training I usually take 2 tsp. of BCAA powder, and afterwards I have 1-2 scoops of Torrent PWO mix, depending on how much grappling I did.
Before lifting I usually take nothing, except perhaps a strong cup of coffee. After lifting I have 3 scoops of torrent, and sometimes if I'm feeling run down I'll take one of the scoops and sip it during my training.
My diet is basically to taper off carbs as the day progresses (with the exception of PWO for lifting), I'll have 3-4 proper meals which I try to keep clean, and 1-2 whey/casein protein (50-60g) shakes per day as well.
Started on the 11th of august. So today is day 4.
The week has been quite grueling due to work, and I didn't train on monday/tuesday. Wednesday was judo, I was feeling strong and no joint pains. Today was a lifting session, and I felt the wide pullups and the db bench was pretty good: managed 2x8 working set with 75lb dumbbells, another 5 rep set using the same weight, and one drop set with 60lb db's.
I'll do my best to document how it goes, any suggestions welcome and appreciated. I will do my best to listen to my body and see how it reacts.
Thanks if you've read this far, and I hope this will prove of help to someone, hopefully me included :head:
