Are you splitting your doses of SD? or taking all at once in the am?
Anyone else have thoughts on it?[/quote]
I just recently read a post on another forum that put SD’s half-life at 6-10 hours. It depends on your goals Re:splitting doses.
If suppression is not too big of an issue then divided doses is the way to go.
I’m excited to try this stuff out. Starting thurs I will be taking 10mg with breakfast and 10mg 8 hours later.

What would you say is the best way to ensure you get a legitimate batch of nolva?
Im finishing up 3 weeks of SD at 20mg a day…summers are bad time for me as far as sleep, working long hours, sometimes no day off, etc…so its not optimal time for be to be using supplements but all I can say is Ive had some seriously good workouts…recovery is amazing for me with SD…Ive gotten face acne as well this past week. Next week I go on Carbolin and Alpha Male till the supply runs out…read a few things about Ergomax and today is the first time ive heard of Prostanozol so Im wondering if I should fire up a cycle of them after the Alpha Male and Carbolin run out.
Great thread and thanks for the effort in tracking everything. I cant say much for tracking results other than with very very little sleep due to work, and hit or miss dieting depending on what happens at work (sometimes Ill go 12 hour shift without time to eat!), Ive gone to the gym and had 3 hour workouts where I feel like I still have energy to go! Oh, Im also taking Spike so that might be part of it. SD+Spike rocks!
I typically do speed ladder warm up, sled drag, hurdle mobility, then hit cleans/squats/deads/snatch/high pulls/box jumps/reverse hypers or variations of those, and upper body days do overhead press, benching variations, chins and rows. One noticable result has been my benching. I quit benching for the longest time due to shoulder issues…but in 3 weeks Im already close gripping 300, repping 295x3 close grip, and 225x10 and its been YEARS since I did any real benching so its a great feeling.
Ok its late…sleep tight T-Nation
I figured I would post my results as well for my first SD cycle. An impressive 12.8lbs gain in 3 weeks. Awesome for a hardgainer; I love this shit.

Nolva is not usually faked/counterfeited as it doesn’t cost much to make and doesn’t sell for a great deal either. If it comes in a blister pack with or without the box, then I’d say it was ‘legit’. If you are buying from a UGL however, it is possible that a particularly unscrupulous guy might switch in a placebo, but since tamox powder is SO cheap, he’d have to be a REAL dirtball…!!!

Google is your friend. Nolvadex aka Tamoxifen Citrate
As Bushidobadboy said, if you can’t get the tablets, you can search for the powder or you can also search for the liquid. The liquid is also cheap - 50ml should run you about $25 - and contains 20mg/ml.

Yeah. I did do a google search. Some good stuff popped up. I’m really doing some advanced scouting. I don’t think I’m ready to use steroids yet, even Superdrol. I’m only 180. I’m only 5’7, but still. Not sure if I will make that choice at all. But it’s best to be well-researched and well informed, so I’m doing the legwork now. Thanks.

trailer36, have you heard of anything else to use for PCT if one does not have access to Nolva?[/quote]
Sam747,
there are a range of things that people will recommend for PCT (Novadex, Rebound XT, Activate, ATD, etc.) and all say they have had great results. I personally would not trust these alone and would definitely get some real nolvadex for PCT. If you need a place to get it, PM me.
Keep in mind that the nolva that you get in powder or liquid form says 20 mg/ml but it is not pure tamoxifen. you need 1.5 ml to get 20 mg, its not a direct conversion. so 3 ml = 40 mg, not 2 ml. Please remember this when using for PCT and this goes for the LIQUID and POWDER only!!
Anyone have many side effects with nolva?
what up guys? i know its a lil late to chime in, but i just got my superdrol today… cant wait to see the results. im starting off w. 20mg/d and then ill see from there if i wanna go up.

You need to eat on SD to maximize results. Feed the beast. I’d say 1.5g/lb protein minimum and try for 2g/lb. Run cals at 500-1000 above what you normally run off cycle. Don’t forget to eat throughout PCT as well. Try to keep cals as clean as possible.
Hi guys,
Long time listener, first time caller. I was wondering what the expiration date is on you’s guys’ bottles of SD. I just talked to a retailer who gave me a date of 6mo out from date of purchase, but I’m thinking this might be just a “cover your ass” date. Do the bottles have a date on 'em?
(the reason I ask is that while I don’t feel that I am advanced enough to do a cycle yet, I fear this product may be taken off the marker rather soon, and I was thinking of stocking up )

Why don’t you e-mail the folks at designer supps and ask them?

Thank you very much.

also wondering if i should be especially concerned w. gyno… lately, since ive been bulking it seems like maybe there has been a little fat stored there? im hoping that the superdrol will also help firm that up again… although i’ve only gained about 5 lbs… it seems like i had a better chest in the winter than now dont know why
I have not heard any evidence to support a risk of gyno. Just make sure you are getting in a good PCT. 5lbs may not “seem” like much. But you must realise that on SD these benefits are dry mass due in part to the diuretic effects of methasteron.

I’ve not heard any reports of gyno.
It does not convert to T, decreases estrogen and is not one of the nor…family (or whatever the correct terminolgy is).
Just got my bottles, I changed my protocol a bit and will try this:
Week1: 20mg SD split(starting at 20mg, I weigh 225)
Week 2&3: possible bump up to 30mg SD, with 75mg of prostanozol.
I am going on a trip in 4 weeks, so my first experiment will be a 3 week stint. Probably best for my liver anyway.
We will see!
