1st time Halo user Log

[Gregoryprz]

Tomorrow I will start a log tracking my progress while taking Halo extreme. I got my package today and I will start tomorrow

This is my first time taking a prohormone so I'm super excited. I've been doing my research and homework for about a month, and I have my friend who is an experienced user that is walking me through the cycle. I'm mainly posting this log because as a new user, i wanted to see a log from a newbie but couldn't find any. So for anybody who is iffy on taking some of this stuff, I hope this helps.

Just a little about myself. I've been weightlifting since I was 16 and I'm about to be 22 now. I'm 5'9, 210, with 15% BF. I have a high tolerance of stimulants and other stuff. My goal is to lean out and increase strength and endurance.

For experienced users out there that are willing to help a new kid out, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. I love doing this stuff so I take it serious.

 

[Gregoryprz]

So today I started my first cycle. I'm starting with taking 2 pills of Halo Extreme. I'm also taking Advanced cycle Support, Ultra Male RX, and Anabolic Matrix. I'm also taking Lean Fuel Extreme.

I didn't feel much today, which I'm not surprised since its my first day. I thought i felt anxious but I'm thinking its a placebo affect or the Lean Fuel Extreme, which is unusual because I have a really high tolerance for caffeine. I spread my diet across 6 meals today.

My workout consisted of 30 minutes on the elliptical at 0830 at moderate intensity.
In the afternoon I did light traps, triceps, shoulders, and chest

Day 2
Its my second day taking it and I haven't felt any ill effects.

My workout consisted of a 45 min ruck at 0630. I did a little over three miles and my ruck was at 80 lbs. At 0900 I did heavy biceps, wrists, and back.

Had a pretty good workout. I was tired but I felt like I could keep going. Tomorrow is my off day so I'm just going to go on a run. I can't wait for it to kick in but I hear it takes about 3 weeks for it to completely kick in

 

[Gregoryprz]

Day 3:
Took the day off. I got a slight headache midday, but that's probably because I did stay well hydrated. Also noticed I'm starting to get annoyed by the little things, and my libido has increased. I feel like a dog lol

Day 4:

So throughout the day I still had a slight headache, nothing to bad, just an annoying lingering pain and it went away once I started working out. I'm starting to get more aggressive and I'm catching myself from blowing up on certain people. Doesn't help that before I started taking this they already annoyed me lol. Other than that, everything is going well. I felt like an animal in the gym. I've never been so focused in the weight room in my life. It was as if I had tunnel vision. Best workout I've had so far.

So my workout today consisted of a 2 mile hike up a hill which took me about an hour to finish. The trail was steep as hell and my calves went numb by the end of it. This was at 1200(made the mistake of forgetting my boots)... I went to the weight room at 1900 and worked my lower body today.

[Ellien]

Well done,good luck.

 

[Gregoryprz]

Day 5

The headache has gone away thankfully. Other than that, everything feels the same. I've noticed that my recovery time has decreased and that I'm starting to lean out. I saw myself in the mirror and saw a bit more definition, especially in my midsection. My stamina and endurance has also increased. I'm not exhausted after my workouts and my cardio sessions have become more intense.

Today I did light shoulders, chest, and back.

[Gregoryprz]

Day 6:

So today I felt the same as yesterday. I'm a lot more sleepier throughout the day, but I read that is to be expected. I'm thinking of upping the dosage to 3 pills a day. I read that is most people's sweet spot.

So this morning I did cardio for 30 mins on the rowing machine at moderate intensity. In the afternoon, I worked out heavy traps, triceps, biceps, and wrist.

[Cmill69]

Ive used Halo-V by Vital Labs and i really liked this product in the long run. Just one cycle and i experienced gains pretty fast, it was a great product and i reccomend it. I looked many places for this and strongsupplements fullfilled all my needs, the product was ready to ship as soon as i ordered, and came to my house really quick. overall a great place to buy your supplements.

Day 7:

So my first week went by and I haven't felt any adverse affects. I seeing my body lean out and my endurance increase. Strength gains have been minimal but an improvement nonetheless. This stuff is supposed to kick in by week 3 so I'll keep doing what I'm doing. I'm going to start raising my dosage to three pills a day tomorrow.

Today I did not do any cardio, partly because I'm lazy and because I had two midterms today. My Constitutional Law class is keeping me busy. I did light lower body today.

[Energizerkitty]

It looks like you are really loving and seeing the effects of the Halo. I am doing a half dose, I feel as though I am seeing gains and the normal aches/ pains are subsiding.

Keep it up!

 

[Gregoryprz]

Yeah I am. I for sure am seeing the benefits of it. I'm excited to see my progress at the end of my cycle. Thanks for the encouragement

 

[Gregoryprz]

Day 9, 10:
So I had field training but I continued with the dosages. Didn't feel any adverse affects. Got complimented about the size of my arms, so that was a big confident boost.

Day 11:
So again, no ill side effects. I've noticed in the mirror that I'm more vascular and leaner.

So today I had to make up for my two missed days in the gym. Needless to say that it was a long training session. I did heavy legs, and light biceps, triceps, traps and forearms.

[Gregoryprz]

Day 12:
So today I feel the same. I'm hella sleepy during the day and my libido is through the roof.

Today I worked out light chest, back, and shoulders, and did light cardio on the bike for half an hour. My legs are still sore from yesterday.

Day 16:
Sorry for not posting yesterday. I got hella busy. I'm starting to notice a little acne on my lower inner thighs but thats about the only difference I've noticed, but thats nothing serious. My endurance and strength has steadily increased and I'm loving the results.

At 0600 I had an intense cycling session for 30 minutes. I was huffin and puffin by the time I was finished. But ten minutes later I was ready to do it all over again. I feel as my muscle recovery time is steadily decreasing. I later did light biceps, triceps, traps, and forearms.

Day 17:
So today I was feeling like I was in a funk all day. But all that changed when I hit the gym, and damn it was an intense experience. I felt like I wanted to destroy the weight room. I was throwing up weight like it was my job. I'm loving this stuff. My arms, traps and legs have gotten bigger, and my waist has gotten smaller. I've also noticed I've lost some fat based on the way my face is looking right now.

So today I worked out at 1630 and did heavy legs, calves, and abs.

[Gregoryprz]

Day 18:
Yesterday was my off day so I spent that time recovering. I needed it since I was feeling sick. Luckily this morning I woke up better. I feel like my joint are staring to hurt, more on my shoulders. I read that this stuff dries out your joints. But with enough warming up and stretching, the tightness and pain goes away.

 

[Gregoryprz]

Day 19:
Today I'm feeling a lot better. The whole day of resting helped get over this sickness before it got even worse. My shoulders are sore and they hurt a little bit but other than that I'm feeling great.

So in the afternoon I worked out light back, chest, and shoulders.

The workout was intense. I felt like throwing up towards the end of it. I later went on a three mile run. I was able to maintain a pretty fast pace, at least to me fast. I'm feeling a lot more energetic these days and I'm able to push myself harder every day. this stuff is definitely kicking in

 

[Poseidon]

Hello. I noticed that your goal is to lean out and gain strength.

May I ask what you have done nutritionally? In other words, have you changed your nutrition since you went on cycle, or has it remained the same? How many grams of carbs/proteins/fats are you eating on average?

 

[Gregoryprz]

Yeah thats my goal. Well before I went on my cycle, I ate healthy with no clear goal in mind. I just watched what I ate and did my best not to eat anything that did not have any nutritional value. I ate healthy but with no goal or structure.

When I went on cycle, I started going about 45% protein, 30% carbs, 25% fat. I did research on this for awhile but to be honest I got confused on what exactly to do with all those numbers I saw. So right now its trial and error for me. So far its been working, and my energy level is still high. I try to eat most of my carbs in the morning and my caloric intake is at around 2100. It fluctuates between my heavy and light days. But yeah thats the plan. If you got any advice that would be great.
