my havoc cycle started off great and i was pushing heavier weights and was able to fight thru greusome reps, so much so, that I was able to do 6 plates on leg press machine (vs 5 before) not for 6 reps but I was able to fight all the way to 20. albeit, I couldnt walk for 4 days and my leg muscles started to cramp up while still at the gym, never happened to me in my life... I was adding at least 25% to all my lifts and holding peak contractions for many of them... If anything, it helped me see what might have ben a truer sense of wah I was able to do. I was more sore of course, had gained arond 6- 7 pounds after 2 weeks.
then family issues came around, i wa in a full alarm stress situation, cortisol had to have been thru the roof for me and I lost the drive so went lighter and just went to gym just cuz i had started a cycle and didnt want to end it so short. LAst week on cycle I did not even work out. After it was all said and done, i had lost, not gained approximately 10-12 pounds and I could see it everywhere, mostly legs....
I was so pumped to do this first real cycle not expecting drama to envelope my life 1/3-1/2 way into it. but I can say based on my first 2 weeks, besides lethargy setting in, it was looking good.
bootle says dont do havoc wtihout at least 4 mos interval between the cycles.... basically, to be safe, no more than twice a year I guess.
TGB, what would you recommend to include in a pct to assist in the hpta recovery?
