For clarity, this is about Halotestin (Fluoxymesterone), not Anabolic Halo by MuscleTech.
Everything I have heard about this compound really interests me. However, the only reputable articles I have read about Halo are its profile here: http://www.steroid.com/Halotestin.php
and here: http://www.************.com/halotestin-fluoxymesterone/
First, a little background:
To say it briefly, I am currently playing football at some school. I struggle, to say the least, to keep up with my team mates in the weight room, particularly bench press. I've been working my ass off in the weight room since 9th grade, just long limbs (good for football, but not lifting), and a very skinny frame have held me back. Most of my team, on the other hand, is pretty much genetic freaks, many of whom didn't step into a weight room all summer and still rep out 315 on bench, ofcourse the ones that work max in the 4s or 5s. Even if I can just not stand out for lifting less, i would be happy. Since then and now, I ran one cycle of Test E 583mg/W for 11 weeks. I ran Nolva PCT 40/40/20/20, and used Exemestane on and off at 12.5mg/day. I did make nice gains from my Test cycle. And I plan on taking the full time off of cycle length + PCT.
Now what drew me to this chem, and what vaguely what I was hoping to get from it:
I was really hoping to run it for a couple weeks before camp and maybe through only the first week of camp (no more than 3 or 4 weeks total, at a low dosage). I was really hoping that this would give me one last boost in strength before heading into camp, without too much of a shutdown afterward. If it has too much shutdown to be run alone, I'm also considering running it with a short cycle of Test Prop.
Everything I read about this compound is that it is great for strength, and doesn't aromatize, thus wouldn't cause the estrogenic side effects test would. The liver and hair side effects I can live with. Then I see on forums that people say it will completely shut you down?
Now, the main question I still have at this point:
I constantly see criticism of an oral only cycle, which I have always believed in as well. But would a small cycle of halo only follow this rule? I do not mind adding in Prop if it is a safer approach.
Definitely would VERY MUCH appreciate any studies, scholarly material, or good articles about Halo as well.
Also, any good personal anecdotes on using Halo, especially for a similar purpose (athletic strength)?
I was planning on doing a PCT for it. Not sure what it would consist of exactly if I ran it alone, as in would I run the same dosing of Nolva that I have used before? Was also thinking about using Toremifene that has interested me as a second SERM.
If I cannot safely run this cycle, i will not. I am really just seeking information.
This cycle is not for the purpose of putting on any size, that's what the rest of this offseason is for. And I am aware of the drug testing situation and it is under control.
My stats:
height: 6'4''
wingspan: 80" (6' 8")
currently 250ish... hopefully 255
Defensive End
BF%.. dunno but not very lean. when it comes preseason time I will have it exactly where I want it.. somewhat typical BF for a bigger end though if you watch much football. please don't get on my for my BF, if coach gave me the green light, believe me I would love to be jacked.
Bench ~280, about 10 reps of 225
Squat ~440
Power Clean: at least 280
Thank you,
AE
