Thread: First cycle, H-Drol log- Will try to detail it as much as time permits

Day 1
Shoulders

Military press 95x10, 95x10, 115x7, 135x7
Barbell Upright Row 70x8, 80x8
Lat raises 10x10, 15x10, 10x10 Superset
Front raises 10x10, 15x10, 10x10 Superset(this is where my shoulder started acting up)
Seated db press 45x8, 50x8, 60x8
Shrug DB 95x12, 95x12
Shrug BB 225x10, 275x10
Incline reverse flies 15x8, 20x8



Obviously nothing to report from the compound yet, the workout wasn’t too good due to I’m having a cold and feel like trash.
I had to force myself to eat today and therefore diet was poor, around 2500 calories and maybe 200gr of protein with shakes.
Also an old shoulder injury was acting up today and I couldn’t go really heavy, time to up the fish oil dose and drink more water.
I will probably be doing for my next shoulder workout seated military press or maybe on the smith machine, I don’t want this injury to come between my marriage with h-drol, lol. I did hit the shrug hard though
Tomorrow, Back workout

Day 2
Back



Assisted pull-ups 70x10, 60x10, 60x10
Lat pulldown 115x10, 130x10, 145x10
Deadlift 185x8, 205x8, 225x8, 275-5 (PR)
Bentover row 145x7, 145x7, 145-7
One arm db row 60x10, 70x10, 70-10
Face pulls 52.5x10, 52.x10

Sorry for not updating this log earlier, to the point.
Maybe placebo, maybe first time runner but I was never able to do 145 on lat pulldown before without looking like I was on a rocking chair and this time it felt like nothing, I know I can do more but I didn’t want to force my shoulder too much (on ice right now).
Deadlift is a PR, even my partner ask me are you sure viejito you wanna go there (viejito is old man in spanish).

Tomorrow
Chest and Triceps

Day 3

Bench press 135x10 (warm-up),185x7,205x7,225x4,225x7,225x8 (PR)
Incline db press 60x8, 70x8, 80x8
Decline db press 80x8, 85x8, 90x7
Pecs flies (machine) 190x10, 220x10, 295x9 (PR)
Cable crossover 140x8, 150x8, 160x8
Chest dips bw x 10, bw x 11, bw x

I was dead after chest workout, couldn’t do triceps; will do it tomorrow with biceps maybe supersets.
I was never able to do more than 2 or 3 reps with 225#s, I did 7, got a little scare on second set due to shoulder’s issue and then I said to myself f… it, I’ll tear this b…. up and did 7 and 8 reps. My partner from DR told me coño viejito (f… old man), what the f… are you taking, it’s not the same dymatize protein I’m taking.
I haven’t told him yet because him being 24, with no more than 3 months experience and the I wanna be big by tomorrow mind, he’ll try to jump on it ASAP as if it was a miracle pill with no research or proper pct, I will tell him down the road once he gets more dedicated.

Ok guys time to sleep, didn’t get a good one last night.

Tomorrow biceps and triceps

Thanks for doing this. I will keep a close watch on this.

Am I mad?, I was really hammering the arms and the phone rang, my neighbor was in labor and the husband was with me working out her brother called and say you have to get here now to take her to ER, I was driving like crazy and when I got there guess what “April’s fool”.

Anyways, was feeling a mild headache around the afternoon but water took care of it, diet was bad today but pumps from were good from those supersets, not out of the world but good. The back and chest were still kind of sore this morning from the past 2 days but the feeling is good.

50 up in squats sounds too high. Have you tried that much weight before? I have done 2 cycles before and the enthusiasm could lead you to cheat, saying so because it has happened with me. Specially squats lends itself to cheating i.e. I have seen people not going half way and piling on weight.
Make sure that you dont cheat - partial effort = partial development.

Yep I've tried before and couldn't do it, I always go parallel on squats or maybe a tiny below. A week ago when I did 335 , I couldn't go up the second rep.

i start my h-drol on monday

thanks

Usually you get on creatine once you start PCT, I just didn't want to drop it during first week to keep most of the strength before h-drol starts acting on my system, some people don't drop it at all and run it during whole cycle; I just wanted to save it for PCT

Day 8
Nothing to report from days 6 and 7 (off days)
Shoulders

Front raises 10x10/15x10/15x10
Lat raises 10x10/15x10/15/10
Military press 95x10, 135x10, 155x10, 185x7
shoulder press machine 180x9

Seated db press 60x8, 65x8
BB shrug 235x11, 275x15
Inc reverse flies 20x8, 20x8

I felt like a beast today, if this is just one week and good things start happening on week three, WOW. For the MP I did it on the smith machine where I was able to put more weight on a more stable motion; I was sweating like crazy at the gym.
I started 75mg ED yesterday and so far no sides effect, BP was on the spot today 120/64.
Weight went up to 219 so 5 pounds so far in a week; diet was not good at all over the weekend but back on check today, no visible difference on belly fat increase though.

Tomorrow
Back

Good progress, keep it up.

Day 9
Back

Assisted pull-ups 60x10, 60x10, 50x7

Bent over row 155x7, 155x7,
one arm db row 60x7, 60x7, 60x7


Today I felt like trash at the gym, cannot blame the compound, I was stupid enough to play softball before; I was so tired that I had to miss 3 sets despite the redbull before workout.
Weight still the same (219), no more headaches since drinking water like a camel

Tomorrow
Chest

Why is there such a log for Hdrol? isn't that shit Weak and almost worthless?

Day 10
Chest

Cable crossover 140x8, 150x8, 160x8
Dips bw x10, bw x 10

Still tired or maybe lethargic? , I did the workout today in the morning because I’m playing softball in the afternoon; I’d rather don’t perform well at the game than mess up my cycle. Feel like I want to sleep all the time.
Weight remains the same at 219; blood pressure is in check and no more headaches. I will try to sleep at least 10 hours tonight to see if tomorrow’s workout is better.

Tomorrow
Biceps and Triceps

It might be weak but never worthless, I have a friend that did hdrol like a year ago, he added 15 pounds of lean mass in 6 weeks and kept all of it, shit I would say he kept gaining strength during PCT, he does not post here, he was the one that advised me to start with h-drol.
Of course as always your diet will dictate your results, I've seen people on stronger compounds that don't gain shit.
For the "why is there such a log for Hdrol" question, the only answer that I have for this is "why are you reading it?", there are a lot of people out there that crawl before running, just like me...
Maybe when I get your experience I will switch to stronger compounds and no orals, for now thanks for your understanding and if you are a MOD, feel free to close this thread if you consider it is wasting your bandwidth.

Thanks,

Relax man do your thing no ones gonna close your thread. Saneys a tardo. He thinks hes a big shot cause he takes beta-al intra-analy. Nothing wrong with starting out with hdrol it has its uses. But I must say I've never heard of anyone gaining 15 pounds in six weeks from h-drol. If its true theres something your buddies not telling you
GICH

Maybe there is something he is not telling me, I don't expect to gain that much, will be more than happy with 7 or 8 pounds in 6 weeks and some strength gains.
this guy at PH gained 14 pounds with some pics

http://www.prohormoneforum.com/cycle...-bioforge.html

And this is from the h-drol bible

Typical Results
H-Drol is a dry compound therefore should produce excellent lean body mass increases without any water weight or bloating. It’s also a great multi-purpose compound with many people using it for a wide variety of stages including cutting, bulking and recomping (gaining muscle, losing fat simultaneously), as always your diet will dictate your results.

• When used in a bulking diet, users typically report gains somewhere in the 10-15lb neighbourhood on a 5 week cycle at 75mg.
• When used in a recomp diet, users typically report gains somewhere in the 7-10lb neighbourhood while simultaneously losing 1-2% bodyfat on a 5 week cycle at 75mg.
• When used in a cutting diet, users typically report gains somewhere in the 3-5lb neighbourhood while losing 2-4% bodyfat on a 5 week cycle at 75mg.

These ranges are considered normal, however some users have reported gains in upwards of 20lbs and some users may not experience many noticeable gains at all, however lack of results is typically a result of poor diet and workout regiment.



You can read the whole article at The Halodrol (H-Drol) Informative Bible. | Designer Steroids | TunedSports.com



Lots of good info there.

Sorry Mods if posting outside links is against the rules

Bulking with Hdrol?? Who does that?

estirpe, please ignore that jackass. He is probably just 14 years old for all you know.

A lot of people keep searching for good non-sponsored logs. Most sponsored logs are pathetic where a few employees of the product company cheer the user. They try to give an impression that the product is gold.
Keep going.
