aprox bf: 12%
Final stats:
186lb
aprox bf: 12%
Weight gain:
The cycle definitely gave me some serious gais specially towards the last weeks. Lean gains, i managed to keep my BF at about the same. Due to the fact that my upperbody was restrained because of my shoulder injury a lot of my gains went towards my legs which have gotten seriously big i might have to get new underwear cause its getting tight. My lats improved, my friends even told me i had some serious cobra action going on.
Joints:
Even though i had a somewha decent injury during the cycle it got better relatively quick and its now doing very well. I cant say for sure what had to do with it but im happy it recovered the way it did.
Mood:
It was great throughout the cycle but especially in the couple of weeks in which the 4-ad and the epistane overlapped, i dont know if its a coincidence but ill definitely include both at the same time during my next cycle to test the theory.
Supression:
Im fairly certain my suppression was very mild, I dont really feel my balls any smaller.
Libido:
It did very decent. I wasnt horny 24/7 or anything like that but when it was time to throw down i was ready for the action if you know what i mean.
Performance:
I had a very good amount of energy during my workouts. They actually ran longer than usual most of the time even though the intensity was very high.
Training:
I feel that the negatives was a very good idea for the cycle regardless of the injury. I will probably repeat this training format for future cycles. I will now start with a strength routine during PCT in an attempt to get further gains and retain muscle mass, which if succesfull will be my protocol for future cycles.
Individual compound Review:
Epistane:
Obviously the main contributor to my success in this cycle, im very glad I included this. I will probably include it in future cycles. I didnt really get any of the joint dryness ive heard. It had no gyno or any estrogen sides like expected. Overall a great product.
4-ad:
Decent product, it probably had something to do with my incredible mood halfway through the cycle. I think it helped to get some of the initial gains. I will include it in further cycles to test out the mood theory and probably in others if it becomes a more affordable option.
Finaflex 550-XD:
I really dont know how well this product worked. It didnt bring any massive gains but i do think it contributed to my initial gains. Due to the price I wont be likely to include it in any further cycles.
Ostarine:
Great product overall. Ive used this before as a standalone product and i just feel like it rounds out any cycle and just pushes progress without tipping scales into the side effects. The price was very decent so im very likely to include it in my next cycles.
Cissus:
LOVE this product. Its become a stable in my supplement inventory. It wont do miracles like prevent an injury from being dumb but it certainly helped to get through it and train somewhat decent even while injured.
Overall a very productive cycle and i cant wait to start my PCT and see if i can top this some more gains. I will be making a new thread for my PCT since im going to be trying a new approach. Thanks to everyone who was following this and i hope it helped you out.
