Running it as a recomp would be ideal, IMO. Like I said earlier in the thread, it's very similar to a more anabolic MOHN. It's not going to blow you up, but you'll gain a solid 5-7 lbs and see a drop in BF.
 
Haha, Gonzaga'd, nice!! Not nice that it happened to you tough. Anyways, good updates man!! A front push kick can be nice sometimes, as well as side kicks if you can time em' right. Keep up the good work man!!
 
hey man--i've been stalking your log for a bit since I'm logging this too and I couldn't agree more with you that this would be a perfect recomp PH. I've been literally eating everything in sight under the impression it was more like SD or something and I've been slimming around the waist still haha. anyway, great work here bro!
 
To celebrate the new hockey season:


By far the most nervous I've ever been for any sporting event.

DC Stretches

This was an amazing training session. The pump I had in my chest was amongst the better pumps that I've ever had and my strength was also very high. I tore through all of my sets and had much more left in the tank, but I was starting to get hungry. My weight is up to 206 and I'm on the home stretch of the cycle.
 
Question: I've been taking a natty t-booster for a while, and as you say have been finding lots of energy still left in the tank. does it necessarily hurt me to keep going to I'm tired, and sore, and dead?

That's one of those fine-line issues. Some people have the CNS to handle huge amounts of volume and some don't. Personally, I like to listen to my body and keep going until I'm completely gassed. I'm also a huge proponent of staggered volume.

BTW, shoot me your addy again.

The most underrated MMAist ever; has arguably accomplished more than any other fighter to this point in MMA.

Pullovers-2x70x10
Underhand Pulls-140x12, 160x12

DC Stretches

I destroyed my lats with this session. Huge contractions and M-M connection that led to one of the best pumps I've had in my lats in a long time. I started a little slow because I was really tired, but I did some light cardio to get the blood flowing. It was only 5 minutes, but it was enough to wake up my brain. I love to train back and it has always been one of my stronger muscle groups (I'm pretty sure that there's a high correlation here).
 
You going to give a final review or will that be after your PCT and all?
You've been running a great log :thumbsup:

I'll update my last session today and then run my final review within the nest couple of days. It will be a very comprehensive review from all angles.

DB Upright Rows-25x15, 30x15

DC Stretches

Simple way to describe this: F'ing Amazing. Last session on Cyno and it rocked in every sense possible. Aggression was high, pump was awesome, and my strength was phenomenal. Final observations are coming soon, which will include both qualitative and quantitative measurements.
 
FINAL REVIEW

I'm going to split this is up into two separate categories: qualitative and quantitative.

First, the quantitative:

Weight
+7 lbs (196 to 203); BF not measured, but did not visibly change
Strength
Dips+10 lbs
CG+10 lbs
HS Shoulder Press+25 lbs
DB Rows+15 lbs

Ancillary lifts were also up in reps

Now, the qualitative (1-10 scale, 10 being very high):

Shutdown
2/10: the level of shutdown on this is by far the lowest of any DS/AAS I have used. Barely any testicular atrophy with the only noticeable effect was more "watery" semen.
Acne/Skin
3/10: there was a mild increase in facial/shoulder acne, but nothing substantial. The main thing I did notice was more oil on more forehead later in the day, but not to the point where I looked as though I had just been
buffed.
Libido
5/10: there was very little effect on libido or erections while using this.
Aggression
4/10: there was some increase in this, but it was not consistent nor extreme. 1T and The One really, really increased my aggression, but Cyno only did on occasion and it was for a much shorter duration. When I did notice an increase, it was more of an "in the zone" feeling than an overall wanting to hurt people feeling.
Pumps/M-M Connection
8/10: this was one of the high points of this product. I had amazing, almost cramp-like pumps while using this particularly on extension exercises (e.g. pressdowns, dips). Even muscles that I don't always feel (e.g. rear delts) were much "active" while training.
Recovery (Intra-set and Overall)
Intra-set-9/10: I was able to train at a much faster clip and to add reps especially towards the end when I do higher-rep exercises. Even drop-sets were not overly killer and taxing.
Overall-9/10: this is the high point of Cyno. I added volume and drop-sets to almost every session and I still would only have DOMS for about 36 hours. As noted earlier in the log, this was very noticeable while grappling as my forearms didn't burn-out even while working very grip-dependent chokes. I think that implementing a routine around rest-pause would be awesome while using this


Overall
7/10: this really reminded me of MOHN (pre-'05 ban), but it was much more anabolic. I personally like more androgenic effects in my AAS, but this would be an ideal complementary piece for recomping. In fact, the next time that I use this will be for a recomp in the Spring.
 
Rodja,
Did you stay at 30mg? Are you going to try and up dosage next time? Great log/review!

Absolutely. I'm not a bulk/cut person, so this product works for me. I much prefer a slower pace because the progress is easier to maintain.

I'd really like to use this in conjunction with a strong androgen for pre-WO purposes.
 
Great review Rodja, you were one of those lucky enough to get your hands on some while it lasted. After reading about it I would have loved to get my hands on some.
