Are strength gains from Halotestin CNS or actual muscle gains?

[solidj55]

Just wondering seeing as you get about nothing size/weight wise from Halo. I have heard from some that Halo is more of a CNS drug(which sounds right because of the strength gains and anger/anxiety/sleeplessness it produces)than anything. I know it makes you look hard if you have a low b/f %. Also, has anyone ever taken this by itself? If so what happened post cycle? What was the dosage/length of cycle?

Hmm.. well, from my reviews/readings about Halo, nobody has stated about gaining muscular mass while on Halo-- However! most people that take it is usually before a powerlifing comp, or use it as a pre-competition drug-- with low caloric intake...

Maybe if you had optimal caloric intake-- and used halo, you might grow, if that's what you're trying to ask? I dont know about CNS-- whats that?

Basically it as methyltest with a 9 alpha-fluoro. fluoxymesterone is 5-10 times as potent as testosterone. It is very androgenic. It is not good for putting on weight, but rather better used for strength/hardening. It does bind CNS AR's and is good for pre workout. I don't think running it by itself would be beneficial, unless you just want the strength/hardness. It will suppress the HPTA as well.

If it makes you stronger then it should be easy to gain weight if you are eating right.

You would think so, but it is not a good mass builder IMO. I ran a 4 weeker alone, and didn't get much at all in the way of weight gains. It did add a really "defined" look, and I did get stronger. You make a good argument, but I just don't think it is a good mass sustainer. You would also think that because you get stronger your muscles would grow to some extent. I am sure this is true somewhat , but I think because it is so androgenic w/minimal anabolic properties this just doesn't seem to be the case. Because it has a 9 alpha-fluoro it can't metabolize to estrogen. I think it would be useful during a cutting phase to provide a more harder, dense look. Or during a bulking phase in conjunction w/ a good mass builder. I will say it shuts you down too!
