This time, I decided for a re-comp (as opposed to the bulk I did first time). I ran it on a zig-zag diet. One day, a little above calorie maintenance. The other day, a little below. I decided not to log it however due to time constraints (and laziness). But I'll post feedback.<br />
<br />
I started pre-cycle at around ~185lbs. Strength was around the same as I left off from my first cycle (January 2011) as I had a lot of time offs during the year, losing gains, then gaining it back and so on. End of Hdrol, I was sitting at around 190lbs (5lb gain for re-comp is "expected". Much different from the 20lb or so I gained from bulking), but I had dropped a nice ~1-2%BF. After PCT and water weight, I was sitting at ~188lbs. So overall cycle, gained 3lbs, dropped ~2%BF in 10 weeks. Not bad (and expected) for a recomp. cycle. <br />
<br />
Strength wise, it also exploded (although not as much as bulking cycle). Every lift went up, and every gym session was better than the last one.<br />
<br />
Side effects....<br />
re-read an earlier post in here about my first cycle for sides. It was pretty much the usual, nothing new. Back pumps were a little less severe this time round however. One thing that I didn't remember from my first cyce was itchiness. I would wake up with extreme itchyness all over my body (literally all over; back, chest, thighs, arms) but that would subside as the day goes on. Wasn't sure why.<br />
<br />
So thats it. Not as detailed as my first cycle, but just wanted a general conclusion for my second cycle and how a recomp is compared to bulking on H-drol. Comment if you have any questions.<br />
<br />

But before that, let me just summarize the last week of PCT/cycle. Barely lifted, tons of school work, but when I did, it was fine/normal. No sides, strength still around the same (and like I said, maybe 5lbs less or 1 rep less than the peak of the cycle). Now I am officially done with the PCT and I can officially call it a cycle. Its been a ~week since I stopped nolva. I feel normal. In the gym there is no back pumps, no more "cold balls", lethargy has definitely decreases/gone away. So far so good though.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Now, the conclusion.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <div align="center" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">CONCLUSION</span></span></b></div><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <u style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Possible Sides of H-Drol & How it affected me:</b></u><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Loss of Libido</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: None</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hair Thinning</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: None</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Sore Joints</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: None</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Back Pumps</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Moderate </span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <i style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Most of the time they weren't that bad, but on leg and back day they sometimes kicked in quiet bad and made me sit down for a couple seconds and relax. But they're not that big of a problem.</i><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Acne</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: I have mild/moderate acne already, but I didn't notice an increase. In fact I think it decreased on cycle.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Increased Aggression:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> None</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Migrane:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I had one really bad headache during the cycle that was it. It probably didn't have much to do with the cycle itself. Just stress/anxiety.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Shrunken testicles:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> None</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cramps:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Severe</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <i style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was the worst side effect for me, even though it is not listed as a "common" side effect in tunedsports. Sometimes when I was doing standing military press my quads would crampen randomly. Sometimes when I wake up my calves cramp up randomly. When I flexed my quads, they would cramp. (Basically lower body cramps). And the cramps were very harsh. Most of the time it made me drop to the floor just holding my leg for 30 seconds until it eased up. Yeah, not sure whats up with that.</i><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Basically, I just listed every single common side effect of hdrol above and how it affected me.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <u style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Gains:</b></u><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Most lifts all exploded. Bench press went up by about 45lbs, squat went up by about 40lbs, military press went up, incline chest, flat dumbbell, shoulder press e.t.c. However, a lot of back exercises didn't. Deadlifts didn't go up a single pound, along with other stuff like lat pulldowns, pull ups e.t.c. Not sure why. Commonly deads go up by the most, then squat, then bench. But either way, I was happy with strength gains. I'm on week 6 of post h-drol and even though I'm cutting right now, I have kept most of my strength. Mass wise, traps exploded, arms got bigger, delts got bigger, quads got bigger, lats also got wider. Calves however didn't really grow. They're my weakest part, and I guess I didn't isolate them enough. But again, im happy with mass gains (and strength).</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <u style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Weight:</b></u><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I started the cycle weighing 172lbs. At the peak of my hdrol cycle, I reached about 192lbs I believe. I was bulking on h-drol. During PCT, it dropped to about 188lbs. And 6 weeks after h-drol, and 2 weeks after PCT, I weigh now 184lbs, although I started cutting right after PCT (so for 2 weeks now). But those numbers seem normal. 10lbs on a bulk was the average on h-drol. I'd say 90% of the weight I gained was lean. At 185lbs I look the same BF I was @ 172lbs. So I'm happy with that.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <u style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Overall:</b></u><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Overall I'm very happy with the cycle. I wasn't expecting to turn into greg plitt post cycle, I just simply wanted a little "boost", and I am more than satisfied with the boost I got. I got quiet a few compliments and people did take notice that I got pretty big during those couple weeks. Feelsgoodman.jpg. I would definately recommend it, but obviously do your research. If I was to do it again, I would probably do the real thing. But for now, won't be touching anything else for a while and let my hormones balance out in the next couple months. So overall, very happy with results, especially coming from a "weak/mild prohormone".</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ~*~*~~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> And i think thats about it. If anyone has any questions, ill be happy to answer them. But I think thats all I gotta say/off the top of my head. If I remember something/miss something out, I'll add it later.</span>mark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-2869612096001969412011-04-09T14:25:00.001-07:002011-04-09T14:25:00.757-07:00Week 10 - Day 7<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Flat Barbell Bench Press</b><br />

<b>COMMENTS:</b> Good workout. Strength has decreased a little once again. Most likely from eating at around maintenance now and not bulking anymore. But I'm still happy with it. Precycle I could do 185 2x, so 185x8 (and more to spare) isn't bad at PCT either. So i'm happy. I doubt I'm gonna have time to lift/update this log this week. 4 exams this week, gonna pull a couple of all nighters. :/</div>mark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-65203921926864292402011-04-09T14:24:00.005-07:002011-04-09T14:24:44.301-07:00Week 10 - Day 6<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Did legs, calves and abs.

<br />
<b>COMMENTS:</b>Felt perfect. Pumped to go gym and do arms. After my second set of incline dumbbell hammer curls, during the middle of my set/rep, my head just literally exploded. Some random pain (it feels different from your normal headache, it was pain, not an ache) just shoots up in my head. My jaw feels semi-numb and weird. I drop the DBs immediately and walk to get a drink. I felt like I was gonna pass out and looking @ the nearest bench to drop. Went home immediately and after an hour its just a headache now. Not sure what that was about. I was breathing right, wasn't doing anything heavy, I was hydrated, eating good, felt good, but it was pretty scary stuff. Random. I did some searching and some people say Nolva may cause headaches, but I've been taking it for nearly 3 weeks now and was fine in my workouts before. And this week the dosage was cut in half to 10mg...<br />

I'd say that for the most part I have the same strength as I left off in my cycle. Maybe less by 5lbs MAX or 1 rep in some lifts, but I'd say thats positive news. I haven't weighed myself in the last couple days, but I think I'm around ~185. So I've dropped a couple pounds once I got off hdrol (most likely water retention), but I'm still same strength, so thats good.

<b>Comments:</b> Have definitely leaned out a little this week. The water I was holding on-cycle is probably all gone now. I can see the outline of a 4-pack lol. Can't wait to hit up the gym Monday. Hopefully most of strength is on the same level as pre-PCT. Halfway through PCT now. Starting Monday nolva will be 10mg. Will do that for 2 weeks hopefully and then call it a cycle. No noticeable sides on nolva. Everything seems good so far. </div>mark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-42452348894470461552011-03-14T22:44:00.007-07:002011-03-14T22:44:44.309-07:00Week 9 - Day 5OFF DAYmark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-62257775553877289192011-03-14T22:44:00.005-07:002011-03-14T22:44:30.968-07:00Week 9 - Day 4OFF DAYmark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-36094133768771336912011-03-14T22:44:00.003-07:002011-03-14T22:44:19.495-07:00Week 9 - Day 3OFF DAYmark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-76940149295319990032011-03-14T22:44:00.001-07:002011-03-14T22:44:04.224-07:00Week 9 - Day 2OFF DAYmark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-7403950626113391592011-03-07T16:57:00.007-08:002011-03-07T16:57:52.367-08:00Week 9 - Day 1<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">OFF DAY<br />

<b>COMMENTS:</b> O.M.G. 250!!!!! So happy. Pre-cycle max was 205, so 45lbs increase!! On bench!! On a "weak" ph!! I still can't believe I put it up! Didn't bother trying for more cause Im sure it was my max (maybe if I really really tried/pumped myself up 255, but no point). I still find it funny how usually on a cycle, deads go up the most, then squats, then bench, yet for me its the exact opposite. oh well, bench needed a boost after going up 5lbs in 6+ months last year.

<b>COMMENTS:</b> Maxed out on squats. Was aiming for 2 45's and a 25 (275 total). But 265 felt too heavy/ my max. Not bad though. Thats a 40lb gain over my pre-hdrol max. First day of nolva... My God, not that I know what piss tastes like, but if I were to know, I would bet thats what nolva tastes like. Wasn't expecting it to taste like pepsi or anything, but neither was I expecting it to leave a bitter aftertaste that went away after 3 bottles of water lol. </div>mark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6515522449115063489.post-4620052441077426662011-02-28T17:04:00.001-08:002011-02-28T17:04:45.506-08:00Week 7 - Day 7<b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Barbell Incline Bench Press</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 95lbsx8 | 115lbsx8 | 135lbsx15</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hammer Curls</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 25lbsx8 | 35lbsx8 </span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Incline Dumbbell Press</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 35lbsx8 | 50lbsx8 | 70lbsx10</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Reverse Barbell Curls</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 60lbsx12 | 70lbsx8 | 50lbsx8</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pec Deck/Butterflies</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 70lbsx10 | 100lbsx10</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Concentrated DB Curls</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 25lbsx8 | 25lbsx8</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Decline bench press</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 135lbsx12</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cable Overhead Curls</b><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> 15lbsx12 | 20lbsx12</span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /> <b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">COMMENTS:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Pretty good chest/bicep day. Was very happy with incline bench 135lbs 15x. I think pre-cycle I could put it up ~5 times. Everything else is good too. Last day of h-drol. Kinda sad. It has given me amazing gains in strength (and mass, but mostly strength), but im also kinda happy to be over with it. Tired of taking about 13+ pills a day (3 hdrol, 8 cycle assist, 2 multi, and for the people that take the extra stuff like joint support, fish oil, you've got to be in the 20s). I feel like an old person whos taking her daily tablets to stay healthy. PCT starts tomorrow. 20mg. Got my ml syringe ready. We'll see how my gains hold up during PCT. My plan for the next 2 weeks is to max out big 3 this week (along with lifting normally). And next week Im taking the whole week off. Its spring break, going back home, won't have access to decent gym, shoulders are getting really worse lately. I think its time to take a week of then come back hard after.</span>mark2k8http://www.blogger.com/profile/10701070679040816113noreply@blogger.com1
