Product Log: Super Halo (Halodrol) - PCT started 5/11/09 - AFTER PICS PAGE 9

Cheers Ice.

Yeah I really gave my back a beasting tonight lol.
Now that I'm not training arms alongside it, I can add a few more exercises too.

Day 34

Didn't up date for yesterday (day 33).
I did go to the gym, just did some light chest work, really concentrating on the muscle contraction, did 1 set of 30 reps on wide grip dips, then 20 reps on the chest press machine, and the pec deck, some abs, and a 10min HI run.

It was my work Xmas night out last night, so I had quite a lot to drink... drank plenty of water when I got in (at 3 this morning) and a protein shake, feelin rough as a dogs ar$e today though, so it is a good job that Sunday is rest day for me!

Looking really lean at the minute, which is great! I have def dropped a good 2 or 3 % BF up to now, and although I dont think my measurements will have increased much with regard to muscle gain, they will have definately stayed the same and my waist has without doubt become smalller.

Great news on the dropped BF, wish I could loose a bit!

when does this cycle end mate?

you getting your pictures up?

James M - Thanks man, yeah it sure feels good to be on the lean side again! lol

AWG - Got one more week on it dude, got some before pics up on the 1st page (I think), and will def be posting after pics at the end of next week, along with final measurements as well.

Hi just come across you Journal some wicked improvements im 3 weeks in on an EPI / x -Tren 4 week cycle, going well no sides at all which is good,  hows the sides on your course?

Sides have been ok mate..... had sleep probs from the 11-test at the begining of the cycle, so lowered the dosage. BP has gone up considerably, but I guess that is to be expected.

You been bulking or cutting?

Day 35

Shoulders and Tri's

DB Shoulder press - Set 1 = 34kg DB's 9 reps / Set 2 = 34kg DB's 7 reps

Smith Machine shoulder press - Set 1 = 60kg + Bar = 6 reps / Set 2 = 60kg +Bar 6 reps

Cable Side lat raises - Set 1 = 20kg 12 reps / Set 2 = 20kg 12 reps

Rear Delt DB raises - Set 1 = 10kg DB's 14 reps / Set 2 = 10kg DB's 14 reps

BB Shrugs - Set 1 = 100kg 18 reps / Set 2 = 120kg 16 reps

Close Grip Bench Press - Set 1 = 60kg 12 reps / Set 2 = 70kg 8 reps

Rope Push Downs - Set 1 = 70kg 8 reps / Set 2 = 70kg 10 reps

Pretty solid work out. was feeling a little tender still from my night out on Sat, so did ok all things considered.

Day 36

There will be no training tonight... had a TERRIBLE nights sleep, feel knackered today, and it is supposed to be legs tonight. There's no way I'm heavy squatting feeling so tired!, so will have to re-schedule for tomorrow. What a b*stard :-(

Bad news about tonight's session mate, not much point if you're knackered though.

That's right mate... would have liked to have gone and got it done, but rest is so important, and sometimes you've just gotta listen to your body eh!

Solid session mate, why only 4 sets for tri's?

Good choice mate you seem very dedicated and i dont question you for 1sec if you need a rest you must be tired, fcuk squatting when your wrecked lol Rest up bud.

Thanks Ice.
Yeah was not feeling a heavy leg session, but TBH I had another sh!t night sleep again last night.. doing my head in, but I managed to sleep more than Monday so I will go to gym tonight and do legs!

I only do 4 sets on tri's and bi's dude... as long as I go pretty heavy on them, I find it is all they need, especially as they get trained indirectly with chest/back.

Hmm interesting, if it works for you thats fine mate.

Day 37

Legs and Bi's

Squats - Set 1 = 180kg 6 reps (+ 1) / Set 2 = 180kg 5 reps

SLDL - Set 1 = 150kg 9 reps / Set 2 = 150kg 7 reps

Leg Press - Set 1 = 350kg 14 reps (+2) / Set 2 = 350kg 13 reps

Calf Raise (leg press) - Set 1 =  330kg 14 reps / Set 2 = 330kg 14 reps

Smith Machine Claf Raise - Set 1 = 100 kg 28 reps / 100kg = 28 reps

Seated DB Curls - Set 1 = 18kg DB's 10 reps / Set 2 = 20kg 9 reps

Cable Straight bar curls - Set 1 = 70kg 10 reps / Set 2 = 70kg 12 reps

Not a bad session my lack of sleep this week, I'm sure I would have done better though if I'd been sleeping better.

Day 41

I've just worked out that this is actually day 41, so I have obviously mis-counted somewhere along the line lol.

Just to update on the sleep probs, unfortuantely I am still suffering with them, had another sh!t night sleep last night... it is starting to really do my head in now.

I am sure that the Halo / 11 test are contributing to the sleep probs, but I only have today and tomorrow left on them and then the cycle is over so I'm sure things will pick up after that.

I will do a full evaluation with after pics/measurements over the weekend so watch out for that.

Tonight is the good old T-shirt muscles, Chest (and abs lol), hoping to get some good lifts done, but let's see.

Immense leg session dude! Kinda makes your bis sets look weak. How come you only do 4 sets on bis?

Cheers Smooth.
Lol, Iceman just asked me the same thing actually :-) I just find that 4 sets is enough for bi's and tri's personally.... I've not been going super heavy on bi's though due to tendon problems in my forearms (from using the EZ bar).
I will put them up gradually though.

How's PCT going man?

Thats some session mate, as for your sleep how is it sleep off cycle?

I had exactly the same problem. (tennis and golfers elbow) couldn't train bis for nearly a year, I got around this by doing negative grip back exercises, so putting emphasis on the bis. I started taking cissus and it really helped a lot. I now find that I can train bis again.

The trick is to manage the injury, use lifting straps on back days and stay clear of preacher curls and the EZ bar. Also stretch the forearms out 4 times a day at as many angles as you can think of.


PCT is going well, only lost 1lb of weight after 2 weeks and bf is still at 9% (ish)
