Let me start this post by restating I feel like Stone! Yah I'm sore I have been training my ass off, of course I am sore. I am rock hard and leaning out nicely, on less activity. Yah I usually do some long walks on the weekend but have taken the time to get some much needed extra rest. I have increased my caloric intake slightly to around 3200 as I feel I need it. I still seem to get leaner however. I am looking pretty huge as well.
Saturday was Hamstring calves and arms. I was up on single hamstring curls 15 lbs but could not maintain it all the way through I got my first set but had to reduce an the second. This is normal as it's hard to go up 15 lbs on a single leg exercise. Damn stack increments...
Calves were could up 5 lbs. Not a surprise.
I went up another 5 on tricep extenstion which is significant both the first 2 sets were very strong with good form but missed a rep on the second set. I then did my close grips and went up another 10 lbs! and cranked out 10 reps this is 50 up from where I started. I did start low but this is high reps.
On to straight bar preachers 115 for 6 drop to 105 yah up another 5 lbs. The first set was good on the 115 but the drop was tough but I made it. The second set was grueling and I missed to sets on my drop, I was thinking maybe I should drop the weight but I thought maybe just drop to 100 instead of 105 as 10 lbs is a small drop. Well I crushed it on the next set and probably didn't need to drop it, it was much stronger than the 2nd where did that come from.. I don't know. I then set up for 105 at 8 with a drop to 95, I was so pumped my arms felt like they were going to rip through the skin. I only got 5 reps on both the set and the drop. I was spent no doubt. Next week I will go up to 120 but my drops will be 15 lbs instead of 10, as I get up more in weight it gets harder to do just a 10 lb drop.
I have been exhausted for the rest of the weekend and really took it easy. Just cardio tonight and I'm glad of it.
So I have finished 4 weeks and will do a comparison to what I experienced on Halodrol in 4 weeks.
Strength increase - I am going to give the edge to Prime as strength increases started earlier on Prime and were steady. Halodrol did kick in nice in week 3 and 4 but overall I think I increased more on Prime overall.
Recovery - I will give the edge to Halodrol on this, I am more spent when I am on Prime and more sore.
Pump - Not close Prime wins I feel rock hard 24-7
Recomp effect - Prime edges out Halodrol as I tend to lean out well.
Muscle gain I will say it's a draw Halodrol changes were more sudden and but Prime had good overall changes.
Intensity - I love the way prime gives you a controlled agression.
Now I get to stay on Prime for another 5 weeks instead of PCT. I will need to be carefull of not destroying myself though.
