Whats up guys,
I was just curious about some of your experiences with prohormones. I know they have a pretty terrible reputation, and I can add some to that but I also had some decent gains from my experience. I do not pretend to have the wisdom of some of the men in this forum so I am very intrested in some educated opinions of the pros and cons. Are most of the cons related to the fact that prohormones are such an unregulated and misinformed sector of the supplement world- kind of like the red headed step child?
My only experience is with Anevol by EvoLabs 33 mg of what I’m under the assumption are superdrol and p-plex clones per 2 capsules. When i purchased them i was (mis)informed by the dumbass sales rep at a national supplement chain that I could take the cycle w/o any liver support for up to 8 weeks and only would need trib for pct. I did some research when I got home and found out that AnEvol is a pretty controversial supplement, and has a pretty bad rep.
Being young, dumb and full of cum I continued on, acquiring a few liver support products and deciding firmly against running the cycle for longer than 4 weeks. I also got some Novla 20mg tablets for PCT. my dosing was 1 capsule in the AM on training days and 2 capsules one hour before training (8 hours after initial dose) Initial sides were headache, agitated state, dry mouth, and bad taste in mouth. Strength gains were evident after 4 training days and by the end of the cycle I’d added 60 lbs to my bench and 40lbs to my deadlift (I had no previous aas or ph experience). Pumps were pretty incredible to me.
Training had never been so intense before and I felt like I could train for hours on end Back and calf pumps on rest days became almost unbearable. I had trouble sleeping due to intense lower back pumps. Testicular atrophy definantly became an issue after week 2 (which is when I hear total shutdown occurs on S-drol) and I felt like I could have filed a friggin lawsuit against the guy who sold me the stuff. I gained 10 lbs by the end of week 3 (which is when weight gain ended).
After going to the tanning bed in week 4 I noticed some serious acne (serious by my standards- mild compared to some aas inspired acne i’ve seen pictures of) forming on my jawline. I got some mupircoin 2% and the acne subsided by the end of the cycle. PCT was Novla 40/40/20/20. I kept 8 of the 10 lbs I had gained and about 80% of the strength gains. I think I definantly felt the psychological effects of the shutdown in the first week of PCT. Lethargy was a huge issue, sex drive was minimal, and I even felt myself contemplating getting another box of AnEvol just so I didn’t feel like shit. 1.5 years (and one cycle of d-bol) later I’ve surpassed all my AnEvol gains and have really mixed feeling about the cycle.
I’m curious how badly the shit effected my liver- and constantly find myself rationalizing the fact that I don’t touch booze and haven’t for 2 years as if that somehow mitigates the hepatoxicity of two methylated orals. If I could go back in time I probably would not have got the AnEvol (or d-bol afterwards) just so my upcoming Test Cycle could be my first steroid assisted cycle.
Theres my experience, lets here some of you guys.
