Classyplastic & Gaspari Halodrol: A New Hope?

[classyplastic]

First off I'd like to thank Big_Spaz, dougefresh93, danielmoo, and whoever else at Gaspari for giving me the opportunity to log the new halo.
Over the next 30 days I hope to recomp, add 5lbs or so, and get my strength up. Maybe lose the love handles at least! I'll be dosing 2 pills pre-workout ED, 8am-ish. Arimicare Pro for cycle support, at lunch and dinner.

My stats today (day one of cycle):

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 172lbs
Chest: 41"
Waist: 33"
Biceps: 15"
Forearms: 12"
Thigh: 22.5"
Calves: 14.5"

My training goes like this:

Sunday: Legs/Shoulders
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Arms
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Chest

I hate having a time limit on gym time.. makes the workout a little less enjoyable. Oh well. Back day looked awesome!

Day 4. Rest day today. Always harder for me to rest on cycle because i wanna be in the gym pushing myself. Definitely feeling fuller. Normally with dhea products I don't notice anything till 2, maybe 3 weeks in. Didn't weight myself today because the scale i use is at the gym. If the scale says 174 or higher tomorrow morning then i know somethings starting to work! Lucky for me my gyms staying open labor day weekend.

 

[classyplastic]

Solid chest session, Both Flat bench and HS incline are going to destroy the pecs and it looks like got both some volume and strong sets in.

Day 10! Holding at 174lbs. Pumps are starting to last longer after leaving the gym. Hunger is up. Hoping to really start feeling the effects within the 5 or so days. Doctors appointment yesterday and blood pressure was fine, so no bad side effects as far as i can tell yet. Did a crap ton of hammer curls and tricep pushdowns for arms today. People were extra talky at the gym today and i'm too nice, so i didn't get as much done as i could have. Still got like 20 sets per exercise in though, not bad.

Overall sounds like it was a good day for you. No sides, more hunger, pumps, etc. Can only get better from here

2 weeks in today and i redid my measurments. Biceps up half an inch to 15.5 and chest is up a fxxxing inch to 42!! Everything else stayed the same. Up 3 pounds since I started. I've gained weight faster on past andro cycles, but this is way drier than say, 330 a day 4-andro, so I'm totally happy with the slower weight gain. If weeks 3 and 4 and when this stuff is really gonna start to shine, like i think it is, then the next 2 weeks will be freakin awesome.

2 days ago i was saying how happy i was with the dryness of the product but now im feeling super bloated haha. Thinking about keeping my carbs under 200 maybe around 150, thats usually a pretty good spot for me, for the duration of the cycle. How's everyone else feeling on it?

I have noticed the occasional bloated feeling, and seems like my system is backed up some( nicest way to put it). Ive also had several headaches, but only one of them was considered unbearable.

nope..no bloating for me, just some lethargy and loss of libido.

try upping your water intake!!!

Im knocking down 1.5-2 gallons a day. Ive definitely had some aggression but no loss of libido.

 

[classyplastic]

No headaches here but lethargy is for sure a thing right now. I am not a nap person at all but the last 2 afternoons were spent in bed watching netflix. Still making it to the gym, just moving a little slower. I'll take your advice on upping the water intake.

I know it sounds counter-productive, but upping water intake is a tried and true method for bloating issues....

 

[classyplastic]

Did chest this morning and hit a flat bench PR of 215 for for 4. May not sound like much but when im warming up for heavy singles i only usually do 215 for 1 or 2 reps. But i felt totally safe trying for more today without asking for a spot, so that tells me my confidence is way up as far as strength and for me thats a huge obstacle. Even if im not putting on a lot of body weight the extra confidence is a huge plus.. definitely a feel good supplement.

 

[classyplastic]

Also wondering your guy's opinion.. I've been judging my weight gain by the scale at my gym. It's like an old school doctors slidey kind. It's got me at 175lbs today while the cheap bathroom scale at my house says about 168. The digital scale at my doc's office got me at 176.8 yesterday morning. All in the same outfit so thats not the issue. Do you guys have a home scale that you prefer? Or are they all just kind of whatever..

I dont have a preference for a home scale, but what I try to do is use the same one, and only go by that one in particular. The Drs type of scale can be adjusted and calibrated, where as the digital home scales typically cant, unless you spend much more money. However, if you use the same scale for every weight in, you can generally feel fairly confident in the difference it may or may not show.

 

[danielmoo]

^ Titan nailed it. Gotta use the same scale every time in my opinion.. switching from a old school style one to a digital will definitely give you different weights. Also, diet is huge in bodyweight such as sodium. That is the probably with scales, hard to tell what is accurate and what's not.

And congrats on the PR!! That is big. Soon you'll be repping 225 like it's nothing.

 

[classyplastic]

todays the start of week 3. strength is way up, no doubt. started my morning off with some hammer curls and 40's felt like 25's. New bicep and forearm veins popping up. lowered my carbs, but upped my fats and water and im not feeling so bloaty anymore so thats nice. worked my way up to a single of 255 on bench. wanted to try 265 (my previous max was 260) but my left wrist is hurting me so i stopped there. maybe next week!

 

[thebigt]

strength gains are awesome, good work!!!
