    first time m-drol log

    this will be my first time writing a log and first time using a PH.I am 22,5"10(previously stated at 5"11 but was mistaken) weighed after workout today at 190 lbs. and around 13%bf.
    I will be taking 20mg of mdrol ed for three weeks. I preloaded with RYR+coQ10,milk thistle,ALA,Hawthorn berry and grape seed extract. will also continue taking these throughout cycle and pct. For pct i am taking tamox at 40/40/30/20 (i know about the progesteron possible gyno problems but it is all i can get.) i will also be taking formadrol xtreme for my AI 4 caps ed.
    Workout split- mon-chest
    tues-back/traps
    wed-off
    thurs-arms
    fri-shoulders
    sat-off
    sun-legs/calves
    *will do cardio every other day (hopefully) abs twice a week.

    my goal for this three weeks is to hopefully add at least 10 pounds of lean mass to my frame. i think this sounds reasonable. will also be taking cell tech and super pump during pct to help maintain gains.

    Seems like u did some of ur hw but of course not all. First off, no excuse if u live in the u.s. to not be able to get tamox, arimidex, aromasin, caber, clomid, letro, list goes on bro. Its this great thing called research chems and they work just as the real deal from the doc, even got cialis too. Second, lean gains ur goal? Mix ur protein shakes with water, not milk. Especially before bed bro, gonna get some fat gain from that alone. Why only 3 weeks and on 20mg? Dont be scared and if ur taking this step u might as well take it right and not tip toe ur way in. GO with 4 weeks at 20/30/30/30 bro, much better gains. I know cus ive done both ways. 20mg u start to see little gains, 30mg u see the gains u expect to see, 40mg is for another time down the road. Not sure how ur doin it but for the first week take 1 cap with meal before working out and second cap 6-8hrs later. SO if u train first thing like me it would be 1 cap with breakfast then another 6-8hrs later with a meal. When ur on 30mg take 1 cap with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pretty easy bro and should get some pretty damn good gains if u do it this way with a legit diet for ur goals and training routine. Ill check this post out.

    appreciate the info,i do have a bottle of tamox(nolvadex) that i am running at 40/40/30/20,along with the formadrol. any suggestions on my tamox dosing?the reason i chose three weeks was that from what i have read the fourth week doesnt yeild results good enough to cancel out side effects. i am thinking of upping the dosage to 30mg on the second or third week,depending of amount of side effects. btw was reading your log the other day,pretty good ride id say.

    Thanks for checkin out the log! I know what u read, just sayin 4 weeks is where its at for gains. If by day 7 ur not noticing much sides then day 8 to 30 hit up 30mg ed bro as i said before, youll be happy u did. WOuldnt want u to come out ur first ph cycle a week early at barely 20mg and wondering why u didnt feel much and only gained a few lbs. ANd thats the cytogainer givin u the sh*ts, they do that haha. M-drol wont kick in till about day 5-7. Takes a few days to get stable in ur system. Ur taking the support supps right, 2 servings twice a day. Anabolic innovations makes a good one called life support. Theyre caps that have all the stuff u need in just 2 caps twice a day. Only bout 30 bucks too. I only take that stuff for harsher ph cycles like m-drol, h-drol i probably wouldnt since its so mild, p-plex i would too cus its kinda harsh. Oh, dose ur tamox at 40/20/20/20. U could really just do 20/20/20/20, its up to u. Not smart to stay with an otc ai since m-drol is strong stuff bro. Pm me if u need a place for chems but id take aromasin or at least arimidex instead on pct along with ur tamox.

    end of my first day,just got off work at 2am. dont know if it is the mdrol or just me, but i felt like shit all day. had terrible gas and shits possible from the cytogainer as i have never taken it before. the worst part was i was not hungry at all! i literally had to choke my food down. on my last break i planned on eating 2 turkey breasts with some nuts and could only manage 1 breast as it was pretty dry already. hopefully this will get better as i get used to the compound,or else this is going to be a shitty 3 weeks. got back tomorrow.

    was wondering if i should take my support supps throughout the day-milk thistle,then hour later RYR=coq10 then hour later hawthorn? or how i am taking them right now which is all of them at once two times a day spaced apart by about 7-8 hours?

    as of today i dont think i am going to be continuing the cytogainer because it really makes me feel like shit. i mean i have used supplements that gave me the shits and whatnot but this stuff makes me feel like i am actually sick with the flu or somthing. so i will be using 2 scoops nitrocore,12oz skim milk,12oz water,3 tablespoons of peanut butter,and 1 large bananna mixed together along with a cup of whole oatmeal and peaches for pwo meal.

    Na, ur taking more than enough really. Just stay where ur at. Those supps r really just to keep ur blood pressure in check, u could also do that at rite aid for free. I know my blood pressure went up for some reason on m-drol, had bloody noses for about a week straight. This ph gave me the most sides out of any others ive takin and ive tried a lot of em. H-drol is my favorite, no sides and only quality gains and strength.

    Yeah but id ad another ph to the hdrol, a non-methylated one of course. Hdrol to me is a very mild ph and not much compared to m-drol. U should have drastic results with m-drol since its ur first ph cycle and for some reason u want to use the strongest ph for it. For size then hdrol and a bulking non-methyl ph, for cutting (only if ur bf is under 9% or wont see much) hdrol and a lean cutting non-methyl ph. Thats if u want to do hdrol in the future.

    finished day four. added a protein shake to my last meal,and a half cup of low fat cottage cheese to my before bed meal. i also decided to suck it up and keep taking the cytogainer. i think possible the shits might have been from too many carbs? cytogainer+skim milk+tablespoon peanut butter+cup of oatmeal+large bananna, might have done it. shoulders and cardio tomorrow, i cant wait to see some strength gains that come unnaturally

    Sounds great bro! Not sure about the joint pain. U got taurine? Might need it when u bump up to 30mg ed if u get shin splints or painful calf/lower back pumps. Thats what they say but i never got it. Try some msm or something for ur joints or maybe warm-up better before lifting heavy. Ive never really had joint problems so not sure bro.

    Got some pretty good delts bud, focus on the rear delt more, it completes the shoulder (I had to do the same thing). Also try focusing on more incline movements to help bring up your chest, just a suggestion. Diet definitely needs work, do you have to workout right after meal one, go check out a diet plan in the diet forum. Also haven't made out what routine your following but from what I can tell you could step it up a bit and add in more exercises. I only saw two specific exercises for your chest, if you would like any examples let me know. In no way am I trying to down you bro just trying to get you on a better track. You do seem to be harding up a bit from the first set of pics, GOOD WORK!!

    hey bro all criticism is welcome,i am always trying to improve. thanks for the feedback on my pics,i went into this cycle thinking i need a better lower chest,but now i am looking at pics and my upper is deff.lagging thanks. since my electric has been out i have skipped the banna and protein, eating meal 3 with an added banna and 3 slices of turkey bacon, then after an hour going to the gym at my work,then drinking the cytogainer. i feel like the workout is better with more food in my stomach. i am limited to when i can lift though i work second shift 430-1 and have a forty minute drive to work. will be checking out the diet section.

    damn finally got my electricity back. had a bad storm and it has been out since sunday. luckily i got all my meat and other food to my moms to save it. it has been quit hectic but i have managed to keep eating and didnt miss any time away from the gym. as of monday i have upped to 30mg ed. i have gotten some bacne as well as a little on my face. that is the only side effect so far. all in all i like the way this makes me feel, it feels kinda like being all amped up for somthing all day. maybe it is just me though. my strength is deffinatly up and my workouts feel great as do my pumps during and after.

    Well if ur focusing on upper chest then do that first whe ur the strongest. Id say switch from starting incline barbell bench first one workout then next chest workout start with incline dumbell press for variety. Also try sometimes to pre-exhaust the upper pecs and do incline flys first then incline press (barbell or dumbell). FLys exhaust ur pecs, not ur delts or tris like presses. Then after incline id do flat dumbell or barbell (switch it up), then dips with ur bodyweight with perfect form and leaning forward to focus more of ur lower pecs than ur tris. End the workout with some drop sets of flys or something like that: example:
    Incline flys 3 sets
    Incline press 4 sets
    Flat press 4 sets
    Dips 3 sets
    Then for an extra pump can superset decline smith machine w/ decline flys, or 21's w/ cable flys, stuff like that. All the sets above are working sets, warm up sets dont count. Remember ur "On" so u need to add a set or 2 to ur routine along with more intensity and focus to maximize ur gains and take full advantage of being "On".
