6 Week Helladrol w/ CKD results

New member
I used Helladrol on a 6 – week cutting cycle combined with a CKD (Cyclic Ketogenic Diet) which is carb cycling with 10 days off carbs and 1-2 days on carbs. I made sure not to go over 20g of carbs a day and I tried to keep my calories below 2000 but above 1400 to sustain energy. I took 2 paks of Animal Pak every day while on cycle since this multi-vitamin has plenty of extras which are useful especially when on cycle like milk thistle, Hawthorne Berry, and CoQ10.
I preloaded 2 weeks before starting the cycle with 525mg of Milk Thistle daily and continued this dosage throughout the entirety of my cycle. While on cycle I omitted creatine and used Optimum AmiNO Energy as my “Pre-Workout” drink as well as Intra-workout.
I experienced VERY little side effects while taking Helladrol, no acne, no aggression, very mild back pumps, pleasant whole body pumps after working out, normal libido, and I did notice decreased cardiovascular performance most likely due to the increase in muscle mass not accustom to cardio and my CKD diet which sapped me of excess energy.

I dosed Helladrol according to the following:
Week 1: 50mg ED
Weeks 2-4: 75mg ED
Weeks 5-6: 100mg ED

I also used Yohimbine dosed between 2.5mg and 5mg daily to help mobilize my fatty tissue stores in my abdomen and midsection as well as supply me with energy during my workouts.
The gains from this cycle became evident during week 3 and persisted until the very end.
Here are some before and after stats:
BEFORE:
Weight: 178lbs (18% Bodyfat)
Bench: 245lbs
Squat: 285lbs
DB Shoulder Press: 80lbs
AFTER:
Weight: 176lbs (9.5% Bodyfat)
Bench: 315lbs
Squat: 380lbs
DB Shoulder Press: 100lbs
Here is the page of my log/Journal that shows the final results from this cycle as well:

Obvious manscaping and tanning accompanied my Helladrol cycle obviously...

Ill be starting PCT which will be Toremefine Citrate dosed at 120/90/60/30 for the next 4 weeks as well as using Animal Stak, Lean Xtreme, ZMA, PowerFull everyday combined with T-911 on workout days only.

Overall I was blown away by the effectiveness of this product and it is VERY rare that I get far better results than I expected out of a supplement, even a PH like this one which is considered to be very mild. From my results I would venture to say that this is more potent than your “run of the mill” H-Drol and more effective. The price is the only kicker @ $55 per bottle, but you do get enough for 2 4-week cycles by purchasing 1 bottle so its tough to knock it on price alone.

I dont frequent these forums as much as I would like to but I hope you guys appreciate this review.
 
Wow. Seriously, you literally look like a new person and should be damn proud of your determination to stick with such a strict diet. Even though you are on such low cals, it looks like you added at least 7-10 pounds of mass. Well done and man I want to cut with Helladrol now, wow!
 
Thats a helluva cycle!
 
Wooow from 2010 this is beat.transformation woow
 
That's incredible, it really doesn't even look like you in the second set of pictures. Those shoulder veins and traps are sick. This has me looking even more forward to my upcoming Epi-Strong cycle!
 
Nothing short of amazing bro...definitely amazed that anyone could loose 8.5% body fat within six weeks and still manage to look ripped. Your diet and training must have been ridiculously on point, awesome job man.
 
Wow, nice work for sure. Fat loss and muscle gain WITH a calorie deficit. Not only that, it was also accomplished with no carbs.

Almost no carbs. Thanksgiving was at the end of week 2 and that was about 2-3 days of caloric overload. Also every 10 days I would carb refeed.
I tracked my diet religiously and logged every item I ate. I even forwent social drinking which was the hardest part and alot of peer pressure to stand against.
You just cant explain to other people that "Im taking Helladrol and doing CKD...." they will look at me funny and hand me a beer.

i almost find this too hard to believe.......

and I mean that literally

no offence just mo
 
Wow, congrats on the awesome progress. CKD is not easy at all. Especially when cutting cals that low. CKD was hard for me when I was cutting at 3000 cals a day. Gaining that much strength and muscle mass is absolutely ridiculous. Congrats Raptor.
 
now thats how you put in ****ing work while on cycle bro.big thank you for the review I really love seeing these type of results.
 
Holy ****tt bro that's a crazy transformation. Good job man!
 
Small bump just to ask a question. What did your cardio look like while doing CKD. I'm about to start and aren't really sure how much cardio I should do.
 
During this particular stint of CKD, my cardio was minimal with only 2-3 days of moderate cardio per week.
I found its VERY difficult to perform cardio, particularly running when using a PH, and especially when on CKD at the same time. My legs would just be on fire and my energy would be flatlining.

If your not on a PH, then you can perform cardio and I recommend doing HIIT since its less prolonged pain. Just do some HIIT 3-4 times a week, and if you start losing strength too fast, then cut back on the cardio.
 
Cardio was hard on sd anadrol stack but fun

great work man. Did you spray tan?
Click to expand...

Nah, I moved to Florida!
Never spray tanned before.

This is the last week of my PCT and so far I have retained all my strength and weight gains. My body composition has fattened up slightly but I still would say im about 11%bf now.
I have even continued to increase in several of my lifts with the majority being lower body.
Im very pleased with how well these gains stuck. I did tren a few years back and those gains just seemed to drop off my body the day I stopped.
 
That is an amazing transformation bro! A very very nice textbook recomp right there...

Awesome job!:thumbsup:
 
D A M N! I've done the Bodyopus diet back in like '97 and got ripped, but you do look like a whole different person.

I may copy this. Outstanding job. Way to stick with it, ckd's are not fun.
 
Excellent work. I greatly appreciate a detailed and organized post. Got a few questions I hope you wouldnt mind answering.

1. How are things now around the 8 week mark post cycle?

2. Would you make any changes to your PCT, or were you pleased with its effectiveness?

3. Would you recommend Fareston (Toremifene Citrate) over other SERMs?

But again, congrats on your results man!

1. 8 weeks now post cycle and I have continued increasing my strength and mass which is outstanding.

2. I think this was the perfect PCT for me since I kept all my gains and libido came right back very quickly.

3. I really like toremefine citrate over tamoxifen since thats the only other one I have tried and I seem to recover much faster when using torem.

My blood pressure was within normal ranges the whole cycle as well I might add and my cholesterol never went into abnormally high levels.


Currently I am 172 and about 10%bf. Im trying to lean out a bit more to get into the 160's.
 
About a 13 pound muscle gain with a 15 pound fat loss on a 6 week cycle of helladrol, while in a calorie deficit.
