Fina losing it's luster?

G-S · 08-07-2002, 01:56 PM

I'm on my 5th week of FINA, yet have not made ANY strength gains since the week 3 mark. DBOL does the same thing to me, I'll gain really fast, then platue about week 4 with it, and won't make any additional gains.

Can FINA be the same for me as the DBOL? This is my first time using FINA, so I was hoping for alot more gains than what I have had...

How much are you taking?

**Prot** · 08-07-2002, 02:47 PM

this site has some suggested cycles encouraging rotation of drugs every three weeks.

Taking 100-125mg ed.

Well, all I can say is that sucks. You're obviously taking enough so I don't know what to say. I'm 5 days into my second Fina only cycle and I'm already feeling it--gonna run this one 12 weeks at 75ed.

What's your current cycle look like?? I think Prot may have a decent idea, why not try rotating it with something like winny if you're not already taking that.

"Gettin Stupid" i think i have the same prob, i cant gain any weight, no matter what, now into 6th week.
fina 1-5, 10-15
dbol 1-6
test c 1-12
eq 1-12
gained almost 20lb during 1st 3 weeks and nothing since. will be running fina again towards end of cycle.

Test Cyp 1-10 @ 500mg per
EQ 1-10 @ 400mg per
DBOL 1-4 @ 40mg ed
FINA 4-12 @ 100mg ed

looks a whole lot like mine gs, minus the dbol , test cyp @ 400mg/wk for 12 wks and fina run wks 8-14. If I were you I'd drop the fina immediately and pick it up again for wks 10-13. eq takes 3+wks to clear anyway, you might as well run the fina for those 3 wks. Maybe a week off will help, or maybe you should try picking the dbol up again. A lot of people have said (and I don't take dbol so this is only second hand info) that dbol and fina make a real synnergistic combo. good luck, and let us know how it goes if you decide to switch it up.

when i run fina, i run it 5 weeks. I usually peak about 3 weeks in, and the last 2 weeks really just help with hardening up. I still love the stuff, but have noticed as well that the first 3 weeks are most potent.

Hey man same here, Im on my first cycle, consisted of Dbol /Test/Deca , then threw in some fina and winny in the last half of the cycle. Gained about 25lbs BAM! In the first 3 weeks, 5 weeks later NO MORE GAINS! In fact, ive lost some weight. But my strength is still going nuts (meaning weight lost is pure water, probably first 25lbs was pure water from the dbol and only now am I gaining muscle and loosing water, who knows). But I figuere my continued strength gains have been because a new drug was "introduced" so to speak every few weeks THis is what I mean:
first 3 weeks DBOL was doing all the work, then The Test and Deca kicked in for 3 more weeks, Then I threw in the fina, a week later I threw in the Winny, and boom, strength just keeps piling on! Id give prot's idea a look see. Maybe alternating with winny or anavar might be a good idea. It will at least rip you up.

I might toss in some DBOL again, for the last 3 weeks maybe. Still considering it.

Hey man, I've never tried it but if you find you are plateauing after 4 weeks or so why not give a rotating short cycles a try.

Like :

4 weeks on, 2 weeks off, 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off, 2 weeks on , 4 weeks off

Or any other combination you can put together. This short cycling stuff seems goofy to me but I will give it a rip early next year probably.
