1st Prohormone cycle diary/review; Hero Powermag.

Gonna start a review of what is my first PH cycle to help keep track of progress and hopefully help others in a similar situation.
The PH im running is Hero Powermag @ 75mg a day for 40 days (today is day 11 of cycle).
I pre-loaded Hawthorn Berry @ 1130mg a day for 7 days prior to the cycle starting, for days 1-10 i took 1130mg Hawthorn Berry & 1400mg Milk Thistle (1120mg Silymarin).
Day 11 thru til the end of the cycle i will be running CEL Cycle Assist.
My PCT will be Nolva @ 20/20/10/10 & DA-A or another test booster.
As ive mentioned i am now on day 11 and have yet to notice any sides or, as of yet, any increase in terms of weight gain or strength.
Im currently training 4 times a week with a chest/tri's, shoulders/abs, back/bi's & legs/abs split....limiting cardio to 15mins each session (5min warm-up, 10mins at the end).
Im about 5ft 10" and started the cycle at 173lbs.
My daily diet is about 3500cals with a protein/carbs/fat split of roughly 45/35/20.
One thing im considering doing is upping my calories to around 4000 a day by adding a weight gainer shake instead of or alongside one of my smaller meals, or if gains still dont come reducing the cycle to 35 days & running days 20-35 at 100mg a day.

It should start to kick in in the next few days, so good luck.

You should be noticing strength anytime now - suprised nothing in weight though.

great will be following this,hope it kicks in very soon.good luck.

Yeah no strength as of yet, my lower back has been giving me trouble this past week so had to watch what i was doing during my shoulder workout yesterday as didnt want to stress it, shoulders are a weak point for me & seem to lag behind everyting else so its one area im looking to up the weight on........hopefully this back pain will clear up soon so i can go full-bore again, back/bi's tomorrow so will still have to take it easy i think & stick to lighter weight more volume.
Oh yeah, weighed myself when i got up & put on 2lbs, its a start...just ordered some powdered oats so gonna bring my cals up to around 4000 a day with the inclusion of a weight gain shake and take it from there.

Following with interest... GL

Do you think that maybe i just dont respond to P-Mag, or this dose of it? Seriously thinking about upping to 100mg, worked out with the 2 tubs i can run 16 days at 75mg then 18 days at 100mg giving me a 34 day cycle, on day 13 now so think im jut gonna up the dose as of tuesday.
I dont actually feel like im taking anything as ive not experienced the start of any sides and my strength is the same as when taking 5g a day of creatine. To top it off i weighed myself when i woke up & ive actually dropped down to 172lbs, a pound under my starting weight, even tho ive been really strict with my diet?? If i up the cals too much i will just end up putting fat on as those extra cals will be mainly carbs, 3500 cals should be enough for someone my size? Im eating plenty of protein...350g a day most days. 

Idk,maybe drop the 10mins cardio at the end of workout,weight loss could just be water,maybe up the water intake as well.i would be tempted to up it to 100mg.

Im drinking 4-5 litres of water a day, think i might up my carbs & fats slightly too as just logged in yesterdays intake....works out at 3700 cals with 48/36/16 protein/carbs/fats. Trying to keep the gains pretty lean tho.
Cutting out the 10 mins cardio will save me about 600cals a week.

350g/day, are you sure!!!, no one needs that much even arnold.
4000 cals a day way over the top IMO.
You would put weight on with that amount taking nothing just training hard.

This is yesterdays diet;
Meal 1; 4 eggs, 2 rounds toasted burgen bread
Pre-workout; 1 scoop whey
Post-workout; 2 scoops whey, 1 scoop dextrose
Meal 2; 250g chicken, peppers, 140g rice
Meal 3; 1 scoop whey, banana
Meal 4; 200g chicken, medium baked potato, tangerine
Meal 5; 200g chicken, 140g rice, banana
Meal 6; 135g tuna, 150g potato salad
Meal 7; 1 scoop casein, 1tbsp peanut butter
Works out at about 3700 cals & 350g protein
Been eating like this for past 2 weeks (since start of cycle) and not put on any weight???

Balls to it, im gonna up to 100mg today and then that will make the cycle 33 days long. Day 1-12 @75mg, Day 13-33 @100mg....works out at exactly 120caps/2 tubs so may aswell see if it does the trick.

Hang on a minute, you've only been on this diet for TWO WEEKS, sometimes it takes longer than that for any body reaction at all, drugs or not.
Do not go up yet if at all, give it a chance.
If you want instant results it aint going to happen.

Ive been eating similar to this for months now.....i just havent bothered working out calories & macros until the start of this cycle.
On a previous thread I logged my diet in before the cycle started on myfitnesspal, it came back at 3600 cals 45/35/20 P/C/F.
This varies slightly daily because of work comitments and the hours im awake, the above diet was just an example of one day from this week.
The thing is i havent put much weight on since i started training just under 2 years ago, maybe 10lbs, hence the decision to run a prohormone. My body has changed & got bulkier & more toned/defined, ive definitly added muscle....just not that much change when i step on the scales
 

Can you post up your routine?

Full routine for each day or just my training split?

Each day! Looks like your split is ok,just interested in the contents!

Have you also considered the gear maybe duff? :(

Dunno if the gear would be duff, got it from BlowoutPH's from the thread that was on here a few weeks ago...it was a really cheap price but i have faith its genuine, alot of people on here seemed to snap the offer up.

Thats a rough example, sets and reps will change depending on how i feel and how my body is reacting.....i take each bodypart to failure, sometimes by adding a dropset at the end of a particular exercise

For me,that would be WAY too much volume,i would never bulk on that.
I would drop to about 4 good excercises per workout,less isolation,and drop sets will realy cut in to recovery.i would only use iso/drops/negatives/forced reps ect sparingly.
just my 2p.
