Just recieved my goodies today courtesy of BioScience, ALRI and Nutraplanet. Special thanks go out to all three companies both for the opportunity to test these products, as well as the usual speedy service given by Nutraplanet. Thanks for the T-shirt , Sam! I'll sport it with pride.
Background; Been lifting on and off since age 16 with more serious, consistent, and refined training going on in the last 8. Have run about 10-12 PH cycles over the years and have used proper PCT for each generally consisting of Nolva.
Completed my "hypothetical" 6 week PP/Halo cycle on July 24th and initiated PCT with only one week of Toremifene to kickstart, with the remainder being comprised of PGH, Rebound Reloaded, Activate and DHEA. DHEA was discontinued last week. Last RR and Activate dose taken last night at around midnight. PGH will not be used during this test.
Things have gone well in this 3 weeks of PCT so far. Have lost only 3 pounds of mostly water, seem to be producing natural test well as evidenced by retention of gains, a slow climb in strength and some really terrible acne.
Thus far, libido has been the biggest issue. I have very little to no libido despite tapering RR dose to one pill per day.
I am hoping the Alpha Drive XL and Restore combo can bring back my sex drive, as well as to maintain or even augment my gains. I will be using a maintenance diet initially, as next week I am forced to travel for a family obligation. Upon return I will attempt a bulking diet/training to really put these products through their paces.
Starting weight: 183
BF: I'd guess about 12% at the moment. Abs still visible.

Extra set in leg press is due to the fact I currently am recouping from a lumbar injury and cannot do squats and deads yet. Squat was around 235 prior to injury. Injured lumbar region last August trap-bar deadlifing 540 pounds with straps.
Other lifts are incorporated and rotated in and out at will (calves, leg extensions, leg curls, et cetera), but this log will only report the cores.
