My Protodrol experience

[MrZ]

Hallo!
Just thought I would share my experience from Protodrol by iForce. Was interested in this compound mostly because of the mildness and lack of sides according to writeup. My cycle was planned for 6 weeks but ended after 3 cause of BP issues. My dose was 50 mgs for a few days then up to 75 for the rest of the run. Started to experience headache the first 2 days but thought it was neckrelated. I did messure my BP first week and it was a bit raised but still normal. The headache persisted and week 3 it was 140/90 and Im normally about 120/70 so I decides it wasnt worth it. I did take supportsupps for both liver and BP(HB and Q10). Never had BP-issues before from either m-drol, epi, ergomax, M-TST, P-plex.....

Results:
I noticed a drive in the gym within the first few days and pump was good. But for me this wasnt a feel-good compund. I didnt get the energized on feeling that I get from other PH/DS. Im about 200 Ibs and kept calories at 4000 which is the point where i normally get good gains. I gained about 4 Ibs in those 3 weeks from which im not very impressed. I also noticed a very significand shutdown and my nuts where/are pretty much olives from 3 weeks only and i didnt expect that to happen this fast.

Libido/erection strengt was really good all the way with morning and spontaneous woods which I rarely have(The spontaneous that is

Summary:
For me it was a dissapointment all the way. I got better results before on all my Jungle warfare cycles without that shutdown. Also done a few pulse cycles with much better results. The Shutdown/result ratio makes me think its not worth it. My remaining caps I think I will use as a Proviron sub in libido sensitive cycles at a cap ed IF I use it again that is. But the big issue was the BP. It pretty much took the edge of everything. But since the headache not was constant I was able to wo in the normal intensity so this was not affected(maybe a few work outs though)

Im now in PCT with clomid/ralox and headaches was gone in 2 days.

By no meens Im I bashing iForce for this. Everyone reacts differently and Ive ran several of their products before and always been satisfied. Just wanted to share my experience and maybe make BP sensitive persons think twice before running this. Even though Im not considering myself BP-sensitive.

Have a nice weekend everybody!!

Thanks for your honest opinion -theres too many reviews where i feel , people dont tell it as it really is
eg i felt great in the gym , did 10 more reps or lifted 5kg extra ;put on 2 extra kilos this week,
i think you realise what im trying to say .
So negative comments about a product should have a place on here, so we all get a more balanced view of a product especially ds/ph

I had a negative experience with EST's Protadrol--it's 30 mg./cap. I was running 90 mg./day along with 40 mg./day of Epi. By week 5 I felt so bad I ended the cycle a week short. I love Epi, but this was a horrible cycle from the standpoint of how I felt--though great strength gains! I also felt as if my cortisol levels were overly suppressed. Any steroid will suppress cortisol production or expression to some degree, but on this cycle I had achy joints, lethargy, low libido, poor sleep, and T3 I was using along with the cycle had no effect! T3 requires cortisol to function properly.

I'll never do Protodrol again!

Crowbar are you referring to Propradrol??? I dont think EST made protodrol...only Iforce that im aware of. I like Iforces protodrol- at 50-75 not a big bulker but added sum muscle and helped me lean out pretty well. I used it along with 600mgs 1,4 bold precursor. I would dose 75-100 next time i used it though.

anabolics dont lower cortisol, they actually cause it to raise. they negate the effects of it though I forget off the top of my head the exact details.

the sides you experienced were probably due to stacking epistane which is also a mild anti estrogen, along with a strong a.I. that is in propadrol (3-OHAT).

running dry compounds such as these that dont aromatize plus killing any other estrogen that you would have is a good combo for a shtty, super dry cycle.

Holy crap--yes, sorry guys, I did mean PROPADROL!

jbryand, not to nitpick a point but according to Seth Roberts steroids either lower cortisol or antagonize its expression (depending, presumably, on the particular steroid). I'm not sure whether dopamine reduces or blocks the effects of cortisol, but as you know some steroids, e.g. Dianabol, increase dopamine levels and are know to have strong anti-cortisol effects.

I considered low estrogen also and in reality think that's more likely the cause of my ****ty cycle. I'm just not going to do any more cycles without some aromatizable and/or androgenic compound.
