Welcome

Just got back from my run today is my long run for the week. 5 miles 1hr 12 min my goal is to get under 1 hr. I might have done that today but I was getting really bad calf pumps for the first 2.5 miles,bad enough that I almost cut my run short and had to keep stopping to stretch. Not sure if it's from the halo or not. I had some Bcaa's and a half scoop of my pre work out right before so that might have added to the problem.

Thanks guys I'll have more to say tonight after my first real workout.

[NADDANME]

Well I didn't get to my work out yesterday my life is insane right now. So I push everything back a day and had a awsome work out. I'll post it with my First impression of the Halo as soon as I get a shower.

[NADDANME]

Let me start off by telling why I almost stop this after 2 days. I took my first dose Saturday morning was anger and had anxiety all day. Then I couldn't get to sleep until 3:30 that night. The next day still anxious and couldn't sleep well again. Monday I though of dropping it to see if it was the only cause. Then I decided try splitting the dose, that helped with the anxiety and that night i slept better not great. So today I feel good and hope I can get a good night sleep. So I'm going to play with the doseing times to see if that helps.

Ok now on to the good. Today's work out was one of the best I've ever had. I've been doing 5x5 for my bench press trying to add 5 lbs every week. Well 2 weeks ago I really struggled with my last set of 185 so I decided to stay at it for an additional week. Fast forward to this week decided to try 190. After the first set I actually rechecked the weight because it seemed way to lite. After the second set I said screw it and upped it to 195 for the last 3 sets. Then I preceded to add weight or reps to every set. For the rest of my work out. So things started out rough but are looking good now.

Here is what I did today normally this would be my Monday:

Cardio warm up
Bench 190 5x2 195 5x3
Incline Db press 35 4x10w/bands
Cable row 145 3x12
Db row 35 3x10
Plank hold L R F 55sec
Leg raises

So if I can figure out how to get a good nights sleep. This will end up being a darn good cycle.

I would continue dosing this way.. Give your body a couple of days to get use to it.. I have had some issues with other PH cycles and sleeping for the first week or so. What else are you taking? Any cycle support?

I've just been taking Milk Thisel. I tried taking a few thing to help with sleep but they didn't seem to help.
Blood pressure doesn't seem to be a problem but I have stuff if it start to get out of hand.

One week review

The good. Best strength gains I've ever had on cycle, especially this quick.
Went from 192 to 194 with out any fat gain ( atleast from just looking in the mirror )I know not much but it early
almost all sides have already gone away.
No major libido problems.


The bad. I had bad anxiety and insomnia for the first couple of days. It started to get better after I spilt the doses Am/Pm. The bottle doesnt specify.
Dont really feel like I'm ON.
No major visual changes( I know it's early)

Overview. So far im happy with the results and coping with the sides.

Nice bro. Keep pounding. Weeks 3 and 4 were when I noticed Hdrol to really kick into high gear. It's coming!

Beginning of week 2

Today was a decent workout not much to note. I still went up in some of my lifts but not like last week. But 15lbs for reps to my bench in 2 weeks I'm not complaining. So here it is lmk if anyone thinks I'm neglecting some thing in my routine. In the past I've alway trained 4-5 days a week,but iI finding 3 day of lifting and 2 of cardio suits me better these days.

Cardio warmup
Bench 200 5x5
Incline Db press 35 4x11 w/bands
Cable row 145 3x13
Db row 35 3x10
plank hold L R F 60 sec
Leg raises 12 Db between feet

Sleep is more less back to normal. I never sleep more than 6-7 hr any how. I've been taking my second dose as early as I can ussally around 1 o'clock.

Ps can you stop saying that your weights are down on your bench and then still do twice what I can. Lol J/k I'm actually quite happy with my low number I've only been back to lifting again for 10 wks( I was off for 1 1/2 yrs)took me almost a year to get to these numbers the first time.
