**D-Bo Dre** · 10-10-2006, 08:24 PM

You def. look thicker.. Your back looks wider and I believe is your best improvement.. You did good, That's what a bulking cycle is supposed to look like.. Now get lean!!

**notorious_mem** · 10-10-2006, 09:14 PM

whats ur plans now continue putting more weight on or u gonna do some cutting? Great job.

**matt50** · 10-10-2006, 09:39 PM

awesome gains brother!!!

**UpstateTank** · 10-10-2006, 09:49 PM

thanks for all the support bros!

im gonna keep bulking for a while...I would like to continue to bulk up to about 230...I just started planning for another cycle--shooting for the end of december (im gonna up the dosage to 20-30-30-40 & am contemplating adding in generic labz x-mass) then ill start cutting after im finished with that cycle

**Chad B** · 10-10-2006, 11:28 PM

Can somebody please tell me what backpumps are? People are talking like they are something you get from sd and that they hurt. I thought muscle pumps were good?

Thanks

yup muscle pumps are great but back pumps are not
your lower back "pumps" up to a point of being uncomfortable and painful...The only time I ever got them was doing deadlifts...The pump was so strong it hurt and I had to lay down on the gym floor for a minute or 2 while it cleared up

right on. hell with it.With winter coming on IMO keep on bulking then cut down when it gets a little warmer.

Back pumps= a sharp lower back pain.. NOT fun..

Take potassium supplements, or eat lots of bananas..

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I got it now.

So after the whole cycle, would you recommend a sd cycle to a noob?

Thanks

I don't think there really is a concrete answer to this question. Personally I had experience w/ ph's before (M1T) when I had no idea what the hell I was doing. After months of research I was finally able to formulate my own cycle from what countless other people had reccomended and had success with, and not to mention the most important part of any bb'ers arsenal--diet. I'll tell you flat out I wouldnt have gained 5 pounds if I didnt have a good diet. I was also fortunate to not experience some of the nasty side effects that sd has to offer (nose bleeds, backpumps 24/7, massive headaches, gyno, sexual performance issues etc). I think once you have researched anything enough and have become an "expert" per se you're ready for it.

I believe SMANB12's custom title is "educate b4 you medicate"...words I live by

Thanks bro! My diet is in check, I eat clean every 2 hours, pro/carb in mornings and afternoons, pro/fat at night.

Another question if you don’t mind. Do you think it was worth it, if you had to do it all over again, would you do it?

Thanks brotha!

absolutely

**Chad B** · 10-11-2006, 06:19 PM

Just wondering if you are going to do another cycle of SD or PP?

As pertaining to the conscience, do you think this one made it easier to do a more "real" one with test?

I'm planning on doing another cycle of sd come end of december/beginning of january--this time I may throw in some Generic Labz X-Mass--just starting to actually research the product

As far as a cycle of sd helping me with a cycle of "real gear" i think it may have given me an understanding of basic concepts at their most elementary level (i.e. the concept of post cycle therapy , the concept of dosage requirements and length, the concept of possible side effects etc), but in no way it made me more knowledgeable towards real gear or anything that accompanies it

I hear clomid is what to use for pct on a sp cycle. The ar store sells clomiphene citrate, is that the same as clomid?

Thanks for the reply

Ohhhh man when I got to the gym I was pissed off to shit...Couldnt park my car down by the gym cause of some stupid basketball thing, had to drive back to my townhouse and walk back down. Had to wait a million goddamn minutes for the crosswalk to say "GO" b/c the cops are assholes when it comes to jaywalking here...then when I get there the f'in womens lax team is there!!!! So needless to say I had a lot of pent up aggression and I took it out hardcore on the weights. I was furious the whole damn time and really kicked up the intensity of my lifts 2day. I guess anger can be a good thing!

**UpstateTank** · 10-13-2006, 10:51 PM

on a lil side note: for my next cycle i think im gonna hold off on sd/x-mass cause i just found out my friend has an unopened bottle of M1T

**RydersWanted** · 10-15-2006, 08:40 AM

I was reading up on SD, and I have some now, and not knowing ur supose to take PCT.BTW I have current stock in chapstick becuase my lips are burning, because I was only doing SD and V-50. I Just bought some PCT today hopeing to correct my dehydration and The question I have is how much are you supose to take? And what days?
