First H-drol cycle - Please review! (now logging cycle)
I posted a couple of weeks ago when I had planned to run Havoc. I've switched to H-drol and revised just about everything.
This is going to be my very first cycle. It will be five weeks of H-drol. I'm 37yo 5'9" 167lb and approx 10% BF. Been lifting over 15 years. My primary goal is cut/recomp with as much bulking as I can get out of it. Planning on eating about 500cal over maintenance and doing lots of cardio.
My number one concern in PCT is gyno prevention! I don't care about any other temporary sides like libido loss, lethargy, etc.
EDIT: My cycle & PCT went through a few tweaks during the course of my cycle. Below is what I ultimately decided to take. Some of the discussion in the thread may not perfectly correlate to what is here because it was a work in progress and went through a few changes on the fly.
Because my goal was to cut I decided to eat maintenance calories for the first three weeks and then 200-300 below maintenance for the last two weeks.
CYCLE
Weeks 1-5 H-drol 50/50/75/75/75 - 2-3 doses/day
Weeks 1-9 AI's Life Support (pill form of Cycle Support) - 4 caps ED (2 doses/day)
PCT
Weeks 6-9 Creatine
Weeks 6-9 N.O.-xplode (will use until I run out of my half tub)
Weeks 6-9 Diesel Test Hardcore - 4 caps ED (3 doses/day) -- Six days on - one day off.
Weeks 6-9 Torem 120 x 3, 90, 60 x 3 / 60 / 60x4, 30x3 / 30 - Split dose w/ higher dose at night
(Note: My Torem was spilled and lost on Day 24 of PCT. I continued PCT according to plan without the Torem.)
Weeks 6-9 Formex 25 EOD/25/50/50/25/25
Weeks 8-11 Post Cycle Support - 4 caps ED (2 doses/day)
Weeks 8-11 Lean Xtreme - 3 caps ED (3 doses/day)
I used Napalm from Day 28 of the cycle through Day 12 of PCT (19 days total). I stopped Napalm at that point because of red lines on my abs that were caused by Napalm. No response from Avant reps with respect to that side effect.
Other supps: Whey, BCAA, Taurine, Cissus, Beta Alanine, EFA, CLA taken throughout cycle and PCT. Sesamin taken through cycle and week two of PCT -- I was using sesamin before the cycle and ran out during PCT, saw no benefits so won't use any more. Green tea powder restarted in PCT.
