1g Sust 100mg Anadrol week8 cycle question

[260plus]

hi everyone. new to the board as i dont know anyone personally with experience to help me out.

im running a 20 week cycle, first 6 weeks i used 100mg anadrol a day and 1g sustanon 250 a week (split into EOD shots, also did a 2g front load in the first week), and also .5mg arimidex EOD. will continue the sust n adex until the end of week20.

in the first 6 weeks while on the anadrol my body weight went from 103 to 114 kg. now ive been off the anadrol for 2 weeks. my body weight is still at 114kg but i have not been able to gain any strength at all, literally matching all of my records while on anadrol but not adding any more reps.

is this normal? will i hit a peak again over the rest of the cycle or is the sust not strong enough to match the peak i hit on week6 of anadrol? i think the sust is legit and doing something because i havent lost any weight, normally people say you lose water weight from the anadrol so i guess that is something.

diet has been steady at 5000cal/day and i am still training the same, using 4day slingshot system. could i need a new training split to continue strength gains?

thanks in advance

Curiously, what are you stats and previous cycles?

If you can hold strength gains from 100mg Anadrol that is very good!! Going forward it is unlikely you will keep all the strength from that.

hi D7M

this is my third cycle. my first cycle was 500mg test E and 30mg dbol / day. second cycle was 750mg test E and 50mg dbol/day.

my stats - 27 years old. have been lifting consistently since i turned 20. current body weight is 113kg at 5ft 8" , body fat last checked pre cycle at 103kg and I was 13% (7 point caliper test done by a trainer at my gym)

i train slingshot exactly like from the faq on this forum. i find it gives me good numbers for the big 3 with a lot of iso work so i look a little like a bodybuilder too. my cycle is 20 weeks as i will be doing a national powerlifting competition in august.

any advice for me?

many thanks.

hi glover, thank you for the reply. i am doing a powerlifting competition towards the end of my cycle, any recommendations what i should do to get strength to rise? it almost sounds like i should have done anadrol closer to the comp.

many thanks

You could always run another oral so you peak during your powerlifting comp,

halo is meant to be good for powerlifters but ive have heard mixed results and personaly havent tried it. You know drol is good, you could always get back on it, and even up the dose, i know people who have ran it at 150mg ed without any complications.


More importantly whats your pct plan?

hi Charger527, thanks for the reply.

unfortunately i do not have access to halo. you might be right anadrol again towards comp time might be the way to go. when i do research on my cycle, i always see people suggesting to run orals at the start of the cycle, theres no harm running at the end also?

my plan for pct is clomid & nolvadex. 100mg of clomid daily for two weeks then 50mg daily for two weeks. nolvadex 20mg daily two weeks then 10mg daily two weeks.

i can get something called pregnol which i believe is HCG but i have read some information advising to stick to clomid/nolvadex combo for PCT.

many thanks.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with running them towards the end of the cycle, most people use them to "kickstart" a cycle because they offer good strength and weight gains straight away.

Id definatly stick with the drol anyway, because you know it works, maybe try halo in the future sometime if you happen to come across it.

You could run hcg with your nolva and clomid.

Good luck with your competion, im interested to hear how you go.

a update and some info for anyone interested - i am now on week13 of the cycle.

weeks 7-10 went by and gains in strength and size were very slow. so much so that i was really questioning the sustanon, my training, diet and regime.

i have just completed week 11 & 12 and it is almost like the sustanon has just kicked in. i have gained 3kg in the last 17 days and strength gains have really sped up, from only gaining 1 rep per session to 3 or 4.

i am not sure why it has taken so long to feel the effects from the sustanon but for anyone in the same position as me, your cycle may have a second wind after 10 weeks!

why dont u change esters if u can run test e at 250mg along side sus at 750mg for 3 weeks than cut out the sus and boost the enanthate to 1000mg. and if u want strength add in 400mg of tren a week 3weeks out untill ur comp.
and if ur going for 20weeks i recomend u use hcg at the end of ur cycle maybe the last 3 weeks at 250 iu evey 3 days.

It is strange that it took so long to make any significant gains, considering what you are running.. but congrats on the recent progress. So what was your progress like for weeks 1-6?

hi gym junki. is there much benefit changing ester? i have already bought all the sustanon. i do have access to hcg-pregnol. should i run it with the last 3 weeks of injection or do i run it after during the two week period between the last shot and beginning of pct?

thanks a lot.

hi Igifuno. thanks for your reply. it is strange. in the first 6weeks i make 11kg weight gain and added about 15kg to my bench, 30kg to deadlift and 20kg to squat- all 1 RM. i think i just stalled for a few weeks when i finished on the anadrol but i am back on track now. have never read of any similar experience so i am not sure what to make of it.

yeah, might have just been a plateau where your energy levels, ligaments or whatever needed to catch up to your new weight and growth. Its not uncommon for people to report period of their cycles where there is no growth.. glad it ended well for you though.
