No Sides at all
I feel fine, but due to high AST and ALT levels I will stop this cycle at 4 weeks. I think it hit me early anyhow as gains are starting to taper down. Weight is shooting up though. I was 186 this morning! Holy smokes! Waist 35", so just .5" increase in the waist in 13 pounds...
Appetite still good, Libidio still good, no headaches, no lethargy, no shut down. Perfectly fine, KNOCK ON WOOD!
I spoke to my mom about AST and ALT levels and she says the 50 and 100 aren't too alarming, especially with a normal biliburin level. She said if bili levels hit 4 or higher thats liver issues.
So i did my own research and found ZERO people with post anywhere who had liver damage from a 4-6 week H Drol cycle. I did see a number with liver shutdown from 4-6 week mdrol, s drol cycles. All had Bili lvels in the 8 all the way upto 40+!!!! their AST and ALT levels were also 250-450+. All recovered just fine by the way.
I keep checking for any liver damage signs like yellowing of the skin, dark urine, pain in abdomen, and all seems fine. So i likely should go 5 weeks, but I just dont wanna risk it. I've gained 13 lbs, and will likely end at 15+ lbs in 4 weeks with minimal if any fat gain so Im fairly content.

Workout
I stubbed my big toe really bad Friday at paintball and the nails likely going to come off. it's damn loose, and bleeds a little.
Due to this, I didn't take it very intensely. I took it light and stuck to movements which wouldnt put pressure on my toe, and no calf excercises obviously.

Switching the routine up a bit for Monday and Wednesday
Instead of a 5 x 5 routine Im going to a 8 x 3 routine.
Layne Norton does a 10 sets by 3 reps routine for his power up days, so Ill switch to that similarly.
Also when i worked out with sword_ last week he did a 8 x 2 routine, and dudes strong as phuck!
