you were definitely somewhat shutdown but the liver and cholesterol levels look great considering you ran a methylated steroid for 6 weeks.
while 180 is sub-normal, it's still quite high compared to 'complete' shutdown which can be 0-50. i would imagine it's much easier to go from 180 back to 400-600 than it is to go from 30. my experience with pulsing is i have a week or two of lowered libido during pct, then it bounces back usually accompanied by some acne.
it seems wise to run a real PCT after a pulse however. the main benefits IMO are slower but more keepable gains, and a reduction in sides.
Thanks for the analysis. I agree, I was starting to get shutdown. Not too terrible for running a full bottle of epi.
I'm going to go back in for bloodwork now that I'm through a simple PCT just to re-baseline. I feel like I'm back, though it took about a month and lost some gains in strength and size. Still up, but not great. Kept about 3-4lbs in weight and about 20lbs+ on all lifts. Just goes to show PCT is how you keep gains, hard to maintain anything on low test levels...
I think a traditional PCT would've been better for maintaining gains, would've known better but bloodwork took forever to get back over the holidays.
quick question guys: if you wanna dose 20mg of SD on a day of pulsing, do you think its best to split it 10mg either side or all 20mg pre?
thanks!
Do you mean 6 weeks at 3 days a week pulsing? If so yeah you probably won't need a serm at all, but having one on hand is always advised.I have ran super 4 days a week for 6 and didn't need a serm but we are all different and I would use health and caution as first your judgment basis.imoJust started my EPIDROL pulse 3 days a week and 2 weeks of however im enjoying it and wondering if i could just do a straight 6 week 3 days a week without serm? I dont fancy having to locate a serm before anyone asks.

I'm wanting to do a pulse soon. I will be using havoc for 6 weeks. How's phera for pulsing? And for pct I'm assuming that an AI and test booster will suffice (topical formestane, dthc, prime?)
Phera isn't ideal for pulsing. You want compounds that kick in rapidly and half short half-lives. Superdrol and Epi are your best bets for pulsing. For post cycle, I always go w/ a SERM, just to be safe. Not all guys do, but I don't want to take chances.
Gotcha man. Thanks.
How's this for a dosing protocol
havoc 3x a week at 30/40/40/50/50/40
sd at 10/20/20/30/30/20

I was assuming he was pulsing since the question was posed in this thread. Tapering isn't necessary in my opinion.
Well, if we were to assume anyone would run a 6 week straight cycle of SD. I doubt anyone would dare try that. If they did, God help them.
LOL. I wonder what kinda shaper his liver and lipids were in afterward. Or if he ever fully recovered HPTA. Craziness!
He said 3x every week for the Epi, but nothing for the Mdrol. Just wondering if he is running it ED or EOD.
And the tapering IMO is pointless.
Pulse everything. No taper.
So what does everyone recommend as the best ai available right now? 6 bromo, and sustain alpha. But i cant find 6 bromo anymore. Just started my superdrol pulse and have everything on hand including my serm. But want a good ai also.
SD doesn't aromatize.
I know that, but its been known to cause gyno. I would rather not take a chance.
I have clomed on hand, but I wanted something otc also. I'll see if i can find some torm. Thanks for your help. I seem to be sensitive to gyno, and low libido. Probably from my younger and dumber days. Trying to fix that now, thats the reason for the pulse instead of straight cycles. Im currently taking t911 on my off days, along with testopro. Should i not use this on my pulse days?
No. Save those for your non-pulse days. The days you don't take your gear.

havoc pulse: all pre-workout or 50/50 before/after workout, any benefits from taking it after workout?
I know that, but its been known to cause gyno. I would rather not take a chance.
Dr. D actually has a theory about the SD "delayed gyno" issue some guys experienced. He thought it might be due to using nolva for PCT and that toremifene was a much safer, more effective choice. I always use toremifene for PCT these days. It's worked very well for me. I haven't heard about many ppl getting gyno on cycle w/ SD, but rather after PCT.

I would assume that this is why a tapered PCT is essential and why ATD was originally paired with SD by Designer Supps. ie the 3,2,2,1, + possibly eod 1 to avoid this issue
You mean a total of 50, not 100 mg. of Havoc on your on days, right?
You mean a total of 50, not 100 mg. of Havoc on your on days, right?
nono, I mean 50/50 as in percent. Iam on 40mg on my on days and have taken 20mg pre, then 20mg post so far. I've read its best to take the larger dose pre-workout (might try 30mg pre, then 10mg post). But what if taken the whole dose pre-workout, it would still be enough in the system to help muscle-growth after the workout? This would lead to only 1 dosage on the ON-days, and minimize shutdown even more? Or does the dosage pre-workout have good benefits?
Well from some results I have seen pulsing will shut you down but not as much, the sides are less, a lot of the gains are kept...someone posted bloodwork here a while ago
