This is my non-OCD log of a 4 week pulse of CEL M-Drol at 10mg pre-workout, 3 times per week. I will not be updating daily but will include all relevant info as the cycle progresses and will post a review of the experience when the cycle concludes.
Past Cycle Experience
past experience is havoc 20/30/40/40 which i stopped about 30 days in due to pain in my nipples (ran nolva and ATD). havoc again at 20/30/30 with ATD, no sides. and H-drol 50/50/75 (cycle cut short since i had to relocate) with some PCT assist as a PCT. no sides from h-drol.
I would say I had underwhelming experience with the above products. havoc brought on estrogenic sides (nipple pain, skin actually clearing up) within 2 weeks of usage and left me with some very minor gyno. while i experienced strength increases in the 3rd week which i kept all of and later surpassed, the sides were too much. even running nolva, i had nipple pain for 2 weeks after discontinuing usage and got a small lump under the right nipple. the second cycle of havoc brought on the same sides but 50mg of ATD every night made them go away. however this cycle was less productive (perhaps ATD blocking androgen receptors?) so i ended it early.
h-drol was VERY mild, and i feel I made no strength gains beyond what i would have naturally. However, i put close to an inch on my arms in 4 weeks (measured a week before cycle and then after) and my delts puffed up a bit as well. while much of this was training (i actually started doing hypertrophy training for upper body which had not been a focus before), i attribute a lot of this to the h-drol. PCT was probably unnecessary, I could tell i wasn't at 100% of natural levels but libido, balls, and workout drive were all at pretty normal levels. lack of strength increases were my main complaint, but a higher dosage/longer cycle might bring better results.
Current Cycle Info
The basic plan is 10mg 3 days/week pre-workout. I'm pulsing to avoid estrogenic sides (the only sides i've experienced at all with hormonal products to date) and shutdown, while using a stronger compound.
i am training using Wendler's 5/3/1, Training for strength and upper body hypertrophy. The cycle will be a recomp, attempting to gain strength and some muscle mass while holding bodyweight. Calories will be around maintenance on 2 workout days, and above maintenance one workout day per week. off days will be below maintenance with adequate protein.
I have nolva, pct assist and ATD on hand, and willl be acquiring some letro and another SERM for my rats soon. I hope to use NO pct on this run but will run something if necessary.
I had very pronounced pubertal gyno which i had removed years ago, but which was incompletely removed. there's no scarring or weirdness but it's a given that i will need surgery again at some point in my future, so a small lump invisible under a t-shirt is a non-issue for me. So if I have a somewhat laissez-faire attitude about gyno symptoms you will understand why.
Other Supplements
i take some other goodies regularly.
Whey and Casein
Fish Oil 3-5g daily
Acetyl-L-Carnitine 3-5g in the morning when i feel like it
ALA 900mg with my largest meal of the day (dont know if it works for nutrient partitioning but it's a good antioxidant)
melatonin for sleep about 4 nights/week
caffeine/coffee daily
vitamin D
I don't drink regularly and will abstain completely for 4 weeks just to be on the safe side. I am 26 years old and overall in excellent health with good joints, cholesterol and blood pressure with no history of major illness.
First dose/workout in next post.
any/all feedback welcome.
