Final Review:
Havoc
The 30/30/40/40 dosing scheme was excellent for strength, improved between set recovery, and libido enhancement. In terms of lean mass, week 2 at 30mg was sort of unproductive.
For newbies, 30/30/40/40 should work just fine with a relatively easy recovery. In my personal opinion at this dosage, I think I would have used an all OTC pct if I hadn't bridged to Superdrol.
For those with a few cycles under their belt and looking for more mass, 30/40/50/50 or 60 should help to keep the mass gains going in a positive direction. I suspect more aggressive dosing may be a bit more suppressive and effect libido in a negative manner.
In hindsight, Havoc delivered as expected. The pros strongly outweighed the cons with this product.
Side commonly associated with epithios typically target BP, joints, shedding, and aggression. I had none of these issues. It is possible that the Hawthorne Berry helped with BP. It's also possible that Nizarol OTC helped prevent shedding. It's possible that SamE helped to keep me cool mood wise. I used no joint support other than fish oils during this stack.
Furazadrol
During the first week, I belive that the 300mg of Furaz may have played a small role in recomp, bf loss effect. However, I felt that it had no effect at 200mg.
In my personal opinion, Furaz is not a product that I'd use in any recomp or mass building cycle. I believe I dosed it too low and with the wrong goals for this compound.
In my opinion, Furazadrol may play a more productive role in aggressive cutting cycles where muscle PRESERVATION, rather than building, was the goal.
In hindsight, I would have ommitted Furazadrol from this stack. I do not attribute any negative effects to Furazadrol.
Superdrol
"Explosive" is the perfect word to describe this compound. It delivers in the strength department within a few days, even at a low dose. Pumps were incredible in the gym after just a few days, equal to those of 3-4 weeks of phera.
I do not attribute very much testicular atrophy to my short run with Superdrol. However, libido absolutely tanked before the 2 week point. It took 3 weeks to recover libido in pct, even though testicular mass recovered quickly.
I did not have any shedding, BP issues, joint issues, or rage issues with SD. I used the same "prevention" plan as I did with Havoc for these issues.
While on SD, I used a trione/formestane AI combo to prevent estrogenic sides. On the positive end, the AI combo probably played a role in the strong recomp effect of week 5. It also enhanced libido substantially until the final day or 2. In hindsight, I believe that SD crushed estrogen and the combination set me up for a difficult transition into pct.
I also used 2 caps of PowerFull before bed while on SD. It's purpose was to act in a preventive manner against prolactin-like sides. I had very minimal, and transient at that, sensations to the nipple region.
Finally, SD didn't "feel" as horrific as some describe while on cycle. Honestly, I probably would have continued with it for about 21 days if it wasn't for the libido loss. That being said, pct has been difficult at times and I personally prefer effective compounds with easier recovery.
