Just finished my first cycle with Halo-25, my thoughts.

Hi everyone, hope you're all hitting the iron hard in the gyms. I decided to start this thread to see what you guys think and if anyone else has experienced similar sides like I did. First off I'm 35 years old, 5' 11" and currently weigh 216 pounds. 4 years ago I did the men's health TnT diet and went from 275 lbs to 186 lbs in about 6 months. Last month, I bought a 30-day supply of Halo 25 (4-Chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1,4-dien 3-17b-diol) and decided to do a cycle of it. I do supplement with N-acetyl-cysteine 600 mgs twice daily. My diet is clean, I've kept my weight under control for the past 4 years. I aim to eat clean (brown rice, natural peanut butter, chicken, turkey, 100% whole wheat bread, eggs) 20 grams of protein and 50 grams of carbs every 3 hours, I drink at least a gallon of water a day. I take creatine 5 grams per day with dextrose and 2x daily during training days. I know that Halo 25 is a pro-hormone, it converts to turinabol in the liver but what I didn't know was the awful side effects in carries. This is a warning to others here. I started the 30 day cycle weighing in at 192 lbs and took my last pill last night. My current weight is 216 lbs. 24 lbs weight gain in 30 days is insane. About 7 days ago, I started to notice a severe pain in my lower back that would radiate towards the front of my stomach area. The pain was so bad I couldn't walk straight nor sleep at night. Felt as though someone took a baseball bat and beat my back senseless. I took Advil liquid-caps to lower the pain so I could at least sleep somewhat. My urine color is normal, looks like it was the dreaded "back pumps" people complain about.
Today I feel great, just a slight stab of pain every so often that is getting better by the minute.
I've read of the harsh effects of orals on the liver and kidneys but this was a first for me.
Anyone else experience a similar situation?

Looking forward to the replies.

Looks like I'm alone here

Thats your liver screaming at you to stop bro. Pro hormones are more toxic than the real deal. Suggest you stop ASAP and get some liver support.

Thanks for the reply Fit2bOld. Yeah, I'm getting better each day. I'm sure the 1200 mg daily of Nac helps a ton. This will be my last oral experiment for sure, too much pain for the gains.
