Had an idea (Halo)

Imagine we had an all or nothing switch. A truly epic, once in a lifetime workout switch. Press and go. Now what... taken away on a stretcher to be revived. In reality we can do what seems epic. Get our breath back, hydrate and walk home. Anything else is gonna mean humanity wouldn't have made it.

One trick is to 'be in the moment'. Nothing we do, be that a single rep or set, actually takes that long. Even a high rep set is 75-90 seconds max. Out of a whole day. And that's throwing in paused reps, drop sets, assists from a buddy and the lot. At the time it'll feel like hell. Truly brutal. You might even need a lay down lol. If Halo et al were truly as effective as mental stims they'd be used in mental treatment (at the suggest low levels). Happy to be proved wrong with data (it'd be a new aspect to add to the armory).
 
''Recently went through a neural override'' = Had an idea
Are moderators supposed to stir the pot, or did you just feel clever this morning? “Neural override = had an idea” is a cute oversimplification—if ignoring the fact that I experienced something I’ve never seen in years of lifting. This isn’t theory—it’s a real physiological shift I’m trying to replicate through structure and intent. If reducing it to a catchphrase helps you sleep, fly at it. I’m not happy in the same lane—I’m here to try something that hasn’t been done by anyone here before, even if I fail doing it.

If you have any real or further input I'm interested.
 
This is super interesting and not something I have thought about before. Would love to see how it goes for you.
Literally just finished second block of "Movement encoding". Definitely an interesting day with weird music, intentionally different movements, a cold 5 minute bloody shower and a brain itching for more. I kept everything intentionally short slow and deliberate and I'm finding it hard to sit still especially with high-glycemic carb intake.

Tomorrow will be where the story starts to take shape. Waste of time or something different ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
This is just my 2 day sample protocol. Full cycle, nutrition and supp stack are all separately catalogued and timed.

The idea is new and is only in beta stages but had a window that it made sense to try it out with.

Also a semi full tank with a fasted insertion of Halo is supposed to increase the call for the creation of BDSN.. on deload ive dropped my carbs considerably to reduce carb bloat and help with inflammation before hitting my final weeks of anavar, tbol proviron.

I've never had such a spike with CNS response and wanted to get a full reset before moving forward to get full benefits of my cycle.

I’m not using Halotestin for hypertrophy—I’m leveraging its neuroandrogenic properties to enhance motor neuron recruitment and encode high-efficiency torque patterns under CNS load.

@rüd your thread is too complex without a full log to help you bro you get it?
like ton of guys guessing here

if you want actual hlep
you need to start your LOG journal for us in a NEW thread
takes like 15min
post your training diet foods roids and more

HOW-TO LOG?

  • To really guide you we need more info from you.
  • Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
  • It will take 15-20 minutes max.
  • We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
Please post a Log Journal asap for us

Please click the anabolic forum
top RIGHT, you see: +POST THREAD
click that

in Title: write your cycle name, like> My _____ Cycle Log
___ = the name of your log
example: My testosterone cycle Log
in body: write your planned cycle or cycle you doing now, your diet, training and we will help you along on your cycle

here are examples of LOG Journals

P.S. are you listening to our podcast? if not, you should; this podcast is about steroids, sarms, peptides, and bodybuilding:

P.P.S. download our eBooks and learn more:

I posted 6 other times in this thread. This is the one you responded to.

And I'm still correct as even you say it's a 'cute over simplification' as opposed to plain wrong.

And, as I also explained, Powerlifters used Halo to boost aggression and it wasn't micro-dosed - in the 70's. The whole 'neural pathway reinforcement' comes from Olympic Lifting'. Or you could call it practice. It was a big thing in the late 90's and 2000's. I touched upon others micro-dosing meds as an idea and it has NOT led to truly meaningful insights or new grand theories etc. It SEEMED like it MIGHT work.

If you want to explain it as 'new to you' that's fine. But it does sound like stuff I HAVE seen before and so not new. I also disagree, and said why, with the micro-dosing.

Don't feel insulted or as though the 'pot has been stirred' if I dispute an idea. Put what you think up against what I said and say why it's not the same. And, as you say, you may fail to prove it works. Such is life.

I mentioned previously the high % of a 1RM. That, and as above the 'neural pathway reinforcement' comes from Olympic and to lesser degree Powerlifting. In essence you take someone like yourself and that 240lbs bench and have them do a LOT (min 8 - max 20 - although I preferred 4-8) of singles with 220 or 230lbs. Typically 2-3 mins break between reps. By doing it again and again you:

Learn
1. The pathway or groove
2. How to fire
3. The brain 'locks it in'. Just as you don't have to think or compute lifting the lid on a toilet and can do it without thinking.

You also 'know'
1. I can do almost my PR again and again. Which means... once you hit the higher number
2. That 240 wont be sh*t. In fact 245 looks good

Patterns of repeated behavior are how dancers learn, chess players learn and fighters etc. Only those who truly 'get it' become masters of their craft.

Now does that cross-over into muscle building? Kinda. It's a darn site better than not doing anything. But on that basis we obviously don't wanna be that guy who comes, does his thing, leaves and never grows or changes. Having a focused mind set which should help you get the most from every rep is HARD to do. It's what is suggested when people use the phrase 'mind muscle connection' (again not new - I saw that mentioned this weekend in a 1966 issue of Muscle Builder).

One way to have it happen more than most is to have a coach or training partner. I'd argue the best word they'd use would either be 'squeeze' or 'contract'. For most 'builders' a way to 'feel' is just to do the rep slower.
 
More on the Neural Pathway stuff. I've mentioned elsewhere stuff I've done with Dr Tom Balchin (I'll link to info on him below). he is probably THE daddy in the UK on recovering after a stroke. And, simply put, relearning (or activating new neural pathways) is how you recover after a stroke.


Well worth a google.

In the case of stroke victims they KNOW (from memory) who to lift that previously mentioned toilet seat but they have to TEACH their bodies how to do it. This 'learned' behavior which requires no 'thinking' is necessary for survival. Imagine a man running away from danger needing to think about how to run. Yet some of what's being discussed amounts to that. What we really want is to 'learn' how to get the most from what we do in the gym. Can that be done? Again kinda. Can it be done, verbally and or with halo etc again and again? I'll say no. Short term yes but rep after rep, session after session. No. It's too tiring - even if only mentally. And you would need a break and to ease off. No one should go all out every time. Only at the point where you are close to the peak of a cycle.
 
One HUGE issue for me is seeing what amounts to reinventing the wheel. Not here per se but in training in general. I see this a LOT on Insta etc where a would be coach claims to have come up with something unique. That is in and of itself doubtful. You said 'I’ve never seen in years of lifting'. How many? I've been doing this 45 of my 60 years. Ergo I have a better idea of whether or not it's new.

I have the advantage of a a Muscle Magazine and book collection (it includes the mental aspect as well as other sports but is muscle / power focused) which dates from 1900 to today.

What really happens is not invention but understanding. Men (and a few women) have built muscle without understanding why since ancient times. They have also looked for an edge since we started running races and the like. That, as much as some can be anti-drugs, has included all kinds of random stuff. There has even been Greeks back in the original games arguing shoes or barefoot. Was shoes cheating etc.

Truth is two-fold. How to grow muscle, via training, IS understood. The actual biology isn't fully yet so. It mostly comes down to survival of the species via, initially, adaption.
