I just have a question for those who are experienced with Prohormones. I have been taking H Drol for 3 weeks now (50/75/100) and I am planning on staying at that dose for 2 more weeks. I find that I have been really tired the last little while but I am unsure if it is from overtraining or from shutdown. This is my first go with PH so I am unsure of what it is from. I am doing 3 on 1 off with the following schedule:
Chest and Tris
Back and Traps
Legs
Off
Shoulders Biceps
I have been doing 4 exercises for each larger body part and 3 exercises for arms. 3-4 sets of 4-6 reps. I have been trying to push some heavy weights though.

Would anyone be able to tell me if there are any symptoms of shutdown I can look for that would be different from the symptoms of overtraining. I would like to stay on for 2 more weeks but I do not want to feel like this. Thanks in advance.

how is your unit working?

Seems to be working fine. One thing I have noticed though is that I occasionally get random erections. That might be due to the increase in hormones or what not. I am not sure. I am not really sure how it works on an extended use basis as I am currently single lol. My libido seems to be up though which is why I leaning towards overtraining. I am eating about 3600-4000 calories a day and carbs are up to about 350 grams so that is not the issue. I thought it might be due to the fact that my body is not used to carrying this much weight. I have put on 10 pounds of lean mass in 3 weeks and I am the same BF%.

Blood test is really the only TRUE way to determine if test production is shutdown.
Testicular atrophy is better determination of shutdown "symptom"...IMO.
You can feel GREAT on AAS/DS but still be shutdown.

I would lean more to the side of NOT being shutdown on HDrol at those doses/time frame.
Try taking 500mg Tyrosine twice a day. It makes a big difference to me with focus and energy.

So an update of what has been going on. Today I did not feel as bad a yesterday but I did have the sweats pretty bad about an hour and a half after working out. I just finished eating and then I was just sitting on the couch and I was sweating bullets. I felt really weak during this time but I am feeling a bit better now. I am unsure if I should keep going with the H Drol or just start PCT tomorrow. I was thinking of just taking tomorrow off from the gym and see how I feel and then just go from there.

I will try and pick up some Tyrosine tomorrow while I am out and see how I feel. It just seems that for about 2 hours after the gym I feel like shit yet I am lifting like an animal while I am there. It is very strange. Thanks for the replies so far guys.

if you are sweating and feel nausues that is a sign of hypoglycemia. eat more carbs

steve_o · 03-16-2009, 04:27 PM

I am going to try and eat a bit more carbs but I thought that 300-350 grams was good enough. I guess I am just burning most of them up at the gym and then I am crashing afterwards. Ya the sweats were no good and that is what happened to me the day before too. I will try and eat more and I will see how I feel. I am going to continue with the H drol but I am going to take more time off from the gym and try doing only one body part a week instead of the same body part twice a week. I think I just need more food and more recovery time. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.
