Do you guys usually retain your strength gains after cycle/pct? Or does strength taper off to pre cycle levels? Just curious.
I'm pretty much superman so yeah

You look big
What're you working with for PCT?
Morning Weight (Final) - 218.4lbs (+20.4lbs)
Tonight hit some upper back work. Widegrip Pullups, Lots of HS rows, Low Cable rows, some shrugs, a few curls. Nuts that I can do 12 good pullups still at almost 220lbs. That's a weight-based PR.
Thanks everyone for all the support & kind words! It's been real gents
Anyone wanting to try Methylclostebol or M1T, you should definitely go for it. Both compounds were easy to see the results from. I can't recommend the Boldione because it's impossible to say how effective it was, although I don't think I really noticed anything standout the way some compounds are more obvious. You can't get it anywhere (M1T is still legal in the UK) anyway, & it's expensive - if you're looking for a solid non-methyl stacker w/ very low sides there are now tons of great DHEA options on the market now. 1, 4, 19, 5, 7 dhea all make noticeable differences at the right doses, are legal, available, & not any pricier than Eq Plex was once you factor in all the bottles you really need of each.
Also, not impressed with IML's 4dhea - the delivery system is either very weak compared to AMS's or it's underdosed, but AMS made a bigger difference for the same price. FRL's stuff was good too, & Andro Factory has a couple awesome products now based on your bank & goals.
On the menu for next time: 2 bottles of AF Max Bulk & 150 15mg caps of Epi. Some wet pro-test, pro-nandro for the joints/hardening/strength, & a nice active drying dht anabolic compound to balance it all out. Should be sick :scool:
Pro-test and pro-nandro? Care to clarify, hulkster?
Solid review!
Dang.. Now I can't wait to see you on that next cycle lol
How many months are you going to be off before jumping on again?
Andro Factory's Max Bulk is 4 & 19dhea, which are each 2-step prohormones to testosterone & nandrolone (nor-test), respectively. Obv the final conversion numbers are going to be mild, but, like anything else, you dose it high enough & you're gonna get what you came for. 300mg of 4dhea/day equals a healthy TRT dose, about 200mg of test/wk I believe. You run 6 caps of Max Bulk, you've got 600mg of 4 & 200mg of 19 - so you're talking almost 400mg test/wk equivalent plus a light dose of Nandrolone to boot. And 45-60mg of Epi should kick it up hard as well - I got strong as hell last time I used epi just for a month my first cycle on 40mg.
Oh yeah I thought you had some new secret products that you found. Lol. But the thing with AMS(I like them because I've used them and gotten good energy and strength) is the 4AD Rde, well it's sort of a proprietary blend so Idk how much 4DHEA I'm getting..? You have the scoop on that?
You show me another way to get nandrolone legally besides 19dhea, & AF's delivery system is better than AMS's. I'd say at least 100mg of 4dhea from AMS, prob more. It's a solid product. It just sucks taking them 4x/day & walking around with mints under your tongue all the time. At some point every cycle with them people have asked me why I started eating so many damn mints all day. Good luck explaining that; it was interesting. AF's extended release system with oils lets you take with or without food first thing in the morn, just once a day for any size dose.
Sweet, Hyde, I learned a lot here. Hoping by February I've learned enough to run my first cycle.
Best of luck Hyde. Let us know how you fare...
Don't be shy to PM me anytime, we can discuss your goals, what you think you're ready for, etc. I've learned a lot in the time I've been doing this; it's night & day what I know now vs. when I ran my first.
I heard people talk about Clomid. How far into the cycle should one begin estro to avoid testicular atrophy?
Hyde is a good dude to ask questions. I know I've probably asked him more than he wants![]()

Never. We're all in this together. Cycling doesn't come with instruction manuals, but it should lol. I'm no kind of expert at anything, but I can share what I've experienced personally & what I've read on things. Clomid is only used in PCT (as far as we're concerned; medically it's used as a fertility drug). It has SERM qualitites & is primarily used for it's powerful ability to help the body get it's natural test production back up quickly after a hormone cycle, usually in conjunction with an AI like Exemestane that also helps promote natural test production and helps control excessive estrogen as the body rebounds. If this all sounds totally alien still, check out all the stickies in the anabolics section of the forum. Lots of great info; taking your time researching will teach you a ton and get you 4/5 of the way to everything you'll need to know to execute a reasonably safe & successful anabolic steroid cycle.
Oh, you'll never really fully avoid atrophy (IME). Even with hcg your balls won't be full size since you'll never be operating at 100% efficiency when taking exogenous hormones. Clomid or hcg only help. Hope that does more to help answer your question.

He's seen info from old school roid heads probably. They swore clomid did what hcg supposedly does now...
I use clomid on cycle when my balls get achy... It fills them back out a little bit. Doesn't do **** for test production but I shoot a big load in sluts faces with it.
That is a lot of information and only shows me that I don't know diddley-squat about e'rything; I have a lot of homework to do. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Yeah on this cycle I've been experimenting and do Clomid for 3 days in a row and then skip it for a few days. So far nuts haven't shrunk like normal. I know it doesn't mean test products fullbore but it seems like as long as you stay sensitive to the stuff that they keep working at least
Yeah. Whats funny is a lot of the guys on another forum, say that HCgenerate is just as good on cycle as HCG. I always lol at that. They push and push that brand. There are a lot of guys I think with there fingers in that company. They throw science aside and say natty testboosters from them are good and that nolva is totally old school and doesn't work.Running Clomid through a cycle, assuming you started from the beginning & continue the whole way, greatly accelerates startup process it seems. Doing it the way you've been doesn't have any impact on startup apparently like a constant dose from the start (like 25mg I believe), but it can't hurt I suppose. Bigger balls & loads at a minimum. This is often used for 4 & 6 week cycles, as longer cycles than that are pretty much guaranteeing a full shutdown. But running hcg or cordyceps the whole time too increases the sensitivity of the leydig cells, so that's a decent idea too. Hcg has to be discontinued right before pct, but the cordyceps are run the whole time.

I usually do 50mgs clomid eod when I'm on a long run. Never heard of cordyceps?
Apparently they're also used to boost endurance, but the very little bit I've read says they're a natty otc product that mimics hcg if taken from the start thru the end of a cycle.
Very interesting... I had never heard of this either.
