My cycle for the powerlifting routine off and on has been 1 tab of drol /day, 1cc of masteron, and 1cc of tren every 3rd day, thats all, nothing too heavy duty, and absolutely no test! and growing like a weed! smallest stack i have ever done and it has given me the best results. Thanx for the positive comments! I really appreciate it, makes all the hard work seem worth it!

The routine was not a hard core bench/squat/powerlift only routine, i mixed it up with my bodybuilding movements of higher reps also, i think the deadlifts did it all for me(made myself do higher reps with maximum weight), thickness wise anyway, i have always included them in my routines, but stepped them up a notch to a more consistant "thing". i did no direct arm work the whole year and added an inch, so this goes to show you, i think alot of folks that don't get the growth they should are doing a little too much. back off a little, but most importantly, STAY CONSISTANT with your routine!~ very, very important, i would say diet is first, and consistancy is second! but they really go hand in hand, if you aren't consistant with your training, you just won't get the maximum results you could have. and people, make sure you get rest, i take advil p.m. every night, just to make sure, the better i sleep, the more i grow, when i have those restless times, for weeks or so, i just won't grow, and i have experimented with this, sleep is just so important! good luck everyone! and again, thanx for the positive comments! also, everone that has posted pics, you all look great! keep up the good work!

That is some really good advice that you posted .I could not agree with you more about your statement about staying consistent .You look really thick .I have been trying to develop a good power lifting routine myself were that I can add some size and strength .You have done really good considering the small aas dosages you are taking plus also not taking any test .I am currently tren a ,prop and halo for a strength cycle .I take about 100mg per ml Ed of the tren and prop with 40 mg of halo ed in divided doses of 10 mg each .Since I wanting to accomplish what you have been doing though.I think I might get better results with a test base ,tren a and anadrol cycle so I can add some size .I have at least 1 to 2 year supply of test base powder along with about a 6 to 9 month supply of prop .Sorry about posting about myself but I had to post it to let you know how I am trying to accomplish the same the same thing you have been trying to do .I have been trying to drop down my bf% levels more than trying to add size .I am 5'8" .about 2 inches shorter than you and quite a bit lighter than you [156lbswith 11% bf].I only started using gear back in june of 2006 not only that it had been 10 years since I had trained with weights .During that 10 year layoff I started doing pretty much just standard push-ups and dips .I got in the habit of doing that from being in lockup several times.That was about the only choice I had back then so I could still train .I weighed bout 198 then . I dropped my bf from 21% at 184lbs to the now current 11% since I started lifting again and doing gear in june of 2006.My original goal was to drop my bf levels to 12 % .Now I want drop it to about 6 to 8 % .Which is part of the reason I am doing a prop,tren a and halo cycle .

Looking forward to seeing some pics from you after you do your cutting cycle .I am super interested in your progress and any advice you might have for me to achieve what you have been trying to do .I am 57 so my gains are not all that quick plus it seems I have to take larger amounts of the gear that I have been taking to accomplish my goals .

Excellent post.. Valuable info there.

You look thick as hell and I agree on the Deads. Deads rule IMO.

Hows the no test thing going on the long run? I am one of the test base always believers but never discount what others say when not doing it. Are you going to have labs done? I am curious to see your values.

[ThaHammer]

i appreciate you guys taking the time and interest in my training info, i decided to go "without" test only as an experiment after talking with this huge, and i mean huge guy i met through a friend at the gym,he is a pro bb, he said he was always told after your 30's with any heavy test. cycle it is so hard to drop bodyfat and water, he was super skeptical at first also, as i, but honestly, if there are any secrets out there, i believe this is one of them, from the pro's, lol, that is "real", he told me why this is true and alot more about it, it wasn't just him guessing, i really wish i would have paid more attention, i would have definately shared this info with you all, it had to do with how our hormonal levels drop after a certain age, and how test. injected , acts differently on our system when this happens, it was all very scientific, all i know is, i didn't do anything differently as far as dieting, of course, changed my training like i mentioned in my previous post, but the pictures speak for themselves, i watched my bodyfat drop , as i got thicker, bigger and stronger in a matter of weeks! i was amazed...and all this time i thought anadrol bloated me and i "needed" test. absolutely the opposite! i remember reading an article back in the day by the great dan duchaine about anadrol, and how amazing it was when used correctly, and how it really didn't give you fake water bloated muscles, and how in proper cycling woman could actually use it "safely" and grow with little side effects. now, i can admit to taking a shot of cyp. every now and then for my horniness levels...lol, but not as a cycle, seriously, at this point, it has been over 6 months since my last shot of test. , and i feel great! i do want to get my levels tested soon, but even my urine has evened out, jeez, winny and test used to make it brown no matter how much water i drank, go figure, now i'm on tren and anadrol and i'm clear as can be, face not bloated, and horny all the time...i say give it a try, another thing guys...i'm 38 years old, and growing like a weed! AND I HAVE DONE JUICE OFF AND ON FOR I'D SAY...15 YEARS...so, i say, "you can still grow when your older" and i think if you keep a somewhat healthy lifestyle, diet etc.. your receptors are always ready for some new juice! i watched myself get abs and bigger in 8 weeks after starting this cycle, and it keeps getting better! i could only imagine if i did this 10 years or so ago, give it a try, go easy, i always thought load the test. and do alot of juice, and i looked like hell...and every morning i eat 2 cream filled donuts from dunkin donuts...i swear, and my abs keep getting better...lol...and i have average genetics, nothing special, just train hard , eat right and rest! good luck and if any of you decide to try this, please let me know how you make out, one more thing, i did do powerlifting moves, my deads, and my bodybuilding training, but i mixed low reps with super high reps, i mean in the 20 and 30 rep range, never did this before, also, i trained for an hour only per day, 4-5 days a week, thats it, but i was very focused, and like i said, consistant!!!! in and out, thats it! hit it hard guys! and keep me updated! if anyone wants more detailed info about what exactly i did in the gym, feel free to hit me up! we all need to help each other! thanx again guys!

Agreed - solid advice and a lot of things I definitely needed to hear myself!

Looking solid, great work!

Do you compete?

[GBAGH]

Not to get too personal with you, but umm...no problems getting your dog to jump through the hoop with drol, tren, and no test???

I would be sunk LOL.

[ThaHammer]

lol....i thought that too, but fortunately no problems there...i take hcg every 4 weeks and cyclofenil 200mgs. tab every day along with proviron tab every day, i go through a spell every now and then of low drive and when this happens i have a good supply of cialis...lol...but honestly i have more of a problem when i'm on d-bol and cyp....d-bol kills my drive, suppresses my hypo-thalmus so much i don't even want to have sex so cialis can't even help that!...so far this cycle with my other "accessories " that i mentioned , and i'm good to go!
