Epic Pulse Cycle of Epidrol

[Craigmatthew]

The deal: starting Monday will be my first cycle, and I'm excited to be able to log this for myself and other uses. Decided on Epidrol due to it's mild shutdown and mild side effects if any. The cycle length will be 6 weeks in duration, with a shortening of cycle pending due to results and sides.

Name:Craig
Age: 27
Years Training: 7 (5 seriously)
Goals for this cycle: Bulk up, pretty much gain as much lean body mass as possible.
Training schedule: Since this is a pulse I will be doing a Monday/Wednesday/Friday workout.

Routine:
Monday: Chest and Back, abs, Calves
Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms, Abs
Friday: Legs, Calves, Abs

Supplements:

PCT
Post cycle Support

Diet: Will try keep calories about 3500 - 4000 per day. Will be keeping protein through natural sources high, as well as Low GI carbs, and dirty low GI when I'm in a hurry or need extra calories. will keep fat intake moderate as well.

Rep ranges: Will be doing 3 exercises per body group, with 8-12 reps per set, going as heavy as I can really!

Look really good. I would do the last 2 weeks at 40. IMO.

yeah I will consider that, I will first see how 30mgs treats me and decided from there.

Starts tomorrow, can't wait

[Craigmatthew]

Update:

started taking my Liv52 3 days ago, and two servings per day, a little late for a pre-load, but thought it might be helpful, also have started loading b-5 at 8-10grams per day to help fend off any outbreaks.

Really excited for this cycle, tomorrow I will weigh in before I take my dosage, and report back with my pre-cycle weight.

Also I have just had my body fat and girth measurements taken as of today, so they are as up to date as they can get, and they were done thoroughly by a lecturer at my university, so as far as accuracy goes, this is as good as it gets for free.

I will repost the details below:

On the post above, the last number of every row, is called a phantom Z value, which is my numbers compared to the average person my weight and height etc.

Day 1 (10mgs Epidrol and 1 Trisorbagen)
Taken with food 40 min pre workout.

Shoulders and Arms:

Strength:normal/ up slightly
Bodyweight/Body Comp:normal
Pumps/Vascularity:Huge
Endurance:up slightly
Aggression:normal
Focus:up
Libido:normal
Muscle Density/Hardening:normal
Overall Energy:up slightly
Personal Commentary:Well due to how excited I was, some of the results may be placebo. Main thing I noticed was a increase in energy, half way through my workout I still felt eager to do more. May have been placebo. I noticed as well a huge increase in pump, may be due to the increase in water I am having due to being on orals, but every exercise I did, right from the get go, got me pumped! This was one of the most extreme pumps I've had, hope this continues.

[Craigmatthew]

Also will be adding pictures up tonight, so there will be pre cycle pics, as well as adding post cycle pics later.

[Craigmatthew]

Weighed in today, scale said 87.7kg.

You know it mate! Can't wait to try 20mgs tomorrow and push some big ass weights.

Today:

1 dose of PCS in the morning with food.
1 dose Life Support.
1 serving Poseidon (got he flush)
2.5grams of b-5

So far so good, nothing much to mention other than no DOMS from yesterdays killer workout. No sides.

[Craigmatthew]

Well clearly you didn't train hard enough then did you

hahha, well I went crazy on them... so who knows!! haha. Next time I'm going to **** them up even more!! haha

[Craigmatthew]

Day 2 of off day (4 Post Cycle Support, 2 scoops Cycle Support)
Also have been dosing 10mgs b5 per day over 4 doses.

Not much to mention, libido has been up the past few days, annoyingly so sometimes... and today noticed a alpha male mentality coming in... as well as slight roid rage when I was hungry, in fact my appetite is up somewhat.

so far so good though, no real sides apart from libido and increased hunger. Which are both welcomed
