Day 12 @ 20mg
split 10mg pre & 10mg post workout.

207lbs with shoes off again. Weight has slowed a bit, hopefully now the gains will have a little more quality...May up my dose to 30mg by the end of week 3. People have noticed my weight gain, but I like I've said prior, I don't think its that clean. I started taking a weight gainer at the beginning of the cycle. ISO Mass Extreme by Ultimate Nutrition



I think this might have a "little" something to with the FAT/Weight I've put on. I'm not for sure if I should keep it up or stop...Maybe keep it up till i'm done with the cycle&PCT, keep it up just till PCT then stop or just stop now and start looking leaner?? I could use some help on this. Other than this in my diet...its pretty clean.

Sides: none to speak about. I think I've seen a total of 2 pimples and those were probably just infected hairs. Infact the only side effect I've had is weight gain. NONE of the following:
* Decreased Libido/Sexual Function - In fact may have had a increase in libido
* Lethargy / Fatigue - None to speak of.
* Increased hair growth / Increased hair shedding - Hair health is pretty normal.
* Puffy / Sensitive Nipples - I keep checking but nothing yet.
* Joint Discomfort - nope
* Back Pumps (Dull pain in back after/during workouts) - no dull pain but definitely sore after lifting (not a side effect of SD)
* Increased aggression, head aches, flushing and various other sides can happen as well. - Maybe a little more aggression, but who wouldn't when your lifting more in the gym and you've gained the weight of a small baby!
....moving on....
Strength: increasing...
Overall: Little worried with the the quality of weight I'm putting on. It doesn't seem to matter how much cardio I do, the abs just aren't what they used to be. I guess once its all said in done...in 3 weeks when this is all over, I'll know if I put on more muscle than fat.

Very nice resulys for a pulse

[justnowdidit]

As far as the "Alpha feeling"...I couldn't have said it any better. Hit two PRs today:

Overhead Press: prior to this cycle, 245lbs (while on ACL's Tren Xtreme) ... now 255lbs
Leg Press: prior to this cycle, 720lbs (while on ACL's Tren Xtreme) ... now 900lbs ...although I didn't mention it before because I don't consider it a major lift, a new PR non the less.

Sides: other than feelin thick...no sides...None!
Strength: Not only is my strength steadily increasing I really feel like my endurance is making strides as well.
Overall: No doubt this Superdrol Clone is good at puttin on weight, I am not as impressed with my strength gains. I felt like my strength increased more while on TREN Xtreme by ACL, however, the mass that I have put on while doing this M-Drol pulse beats both times I ran the PheraPlex clone, MASS Xtreme by ACL.

some interesting reading I found here:

The Science of Scale Fluctuations

by: Leigh Peele

...shortend a bit...
Daily Changes

We talked about what you can’t change. Here are the things that can change. On a day in and day out basis, dieting down or not, eating in a surplus or not, these things are going to change and are affected by your activity.

Food Weight

The weight of an item you eat is going to change the weight you are. This may seem like a “duh” but I can name many moments where I had someone weight themselves after they ate, and were heavier, and freaked out.

The food you eat, has weight. The fluid you drink, has weight.

Exercise: Grab a full gallon of water and go stand on the scale with it and then without it. I rest my case.

Water Retention

Retention: To hold on to, to hold back within.

Retention comes in all forms and reasons. From hormonal to glycogen storage, you can retain water in various places on the body, in large amounts, and for extended periods of time. I am going to cover the main causes of retention and how they occur.

1. Edema

There are many causes and sublevels of edema. Edema is classified mainly as swelling from an accumulation of watery fluid in cells, tissues, or serous cavities. This can range from mild to severe and the reasoning behind it varies. Anything from electrolyte imbalances, kidney problems, allergies, injury, and exercise can contribute on mild to severe levels.

If you have sock rings, swollen calves, or a puffy face, technically these are forms of edema on small levels. If you live with this constanlyt then you are likely dealing with issues of electrolyte balance in the body and need to focus on maintaining a better state of that, as much as you can as it is impossible to control, but possible to manage.

What to do?

• Make sure to stay properly hydrated.
• Make sure you are getting enough of your sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
• Make sure you are getting proper rest and time off from training.
• Make sure you are focusing on taking care of your joints and muscles.

2. Glycogen Retention

Muscle holds a massive amount of water. A lot of times people accuse diets of being “muscle eaters” but this isn’t usually the case. Usually they are muscle drinkers because one of the first things to go when you begin dieting down is the water stored in your muscles, especially if taking part in an extreme diet or one that is very low in carbs (even if higher in calories).

The reason that carbs are so important is because glycogen storage is pulled mainly from carbohydrate intake. Though a small amount can be taken from protein, it is never on a large enough level to maintain adequate or noticeable glycogen retention. That “plump” look you are going after with your muscles, to have them be filled and defined, is from storage of glycogen in the muscles. However, if you are not lean enough to see this definition pronounced, all you are going to really notice is that you fat looks fuller on the days you eat carbs.

This is a big reason why carbs get the witch hunt. It isn’t the glycogen’s fault, it’s your fatness. Lose the fat and learn to love what the carbs can do for you.

What to do? Put the carbs to work by pulling them into the muscles by lifting and training the body. Go for “plump” not “bloated.” Keeping a lower body fat level also helps with partitioning in general.

3. Hormonal/Stress

This applies to men or women, but I will say that women are going to be affected more by this on larger levels. Stress and hormonal imbalances or just general readjustments in the cycle system lead towards heavy (I do mean heavy) fluctuation in your water balance.

Stress is included in this as the triggers are very close and affect hormonal behavior. For example, if you are stressed out, crying, and can’t sleep, you are going to look and feel very much the same as you do on your period no? This is not to be confused with the crying and puffiness that actually happens around your period time either. Women are notorious for carrying their emotions on their sleeve and in most cases it’s underneath it as well.

What to do? Calm the f*%k down. There are some hormones and issues you can’t control. For the ones you can, take care of yourself and your body will take care of you.
