Had an idea (Halo)

rüd

V.I.P.
EF Logger
Recently went through a neural override.. rare yes. If you wish to double guess it happened feel free but the evidence is clear for me.

This however got me thinking and am going to play with an idea in regards to CNS and manipulating the creation of BDNF. Had gpt help me break it down to get the timing correct. I'm adding to my current cycle in a de load week.





NEURAL CEMENTING PROTOCOL: BDNF IGNITION SYSTEM CNS CEMENTING
Purpose: Lock in torque-based movement patterns using microdosed neuro enhancers, structured anabolics, high-BDNF strategies, and torque-centric drills. This is a 2-day CNS imprinting protocol designed to hardwire explosive control, stability, and long-term retention during a low-volume phase.


Trigger Words:
"Locked, Loaded, Pull the Trigger, Hold, Drive" – spoken or internal cues during key movement phases.


Music Strategy:


  • Classical (slow, rhythmic) for warmups and cooldowns
  • Cinematic / primal / unfamiliar music for CNS peak sessions to increase neural anchoring

Key Compounds:


  • Halotestin: 2.5mg single microdose on Day 1 only (neurological ignition)
  • Anavar: 50mg/day split
  • Turinabol: 20mg/day split
  • Proviron: 50mg/day split (20/15/15)
  • Vitamin B6 (P5P): 100mg on Day 1 only – boosts dopamine output and CNS firing



DAY 1 – NEURAL IGNITION


5:30 AM – Fasted Wake & Prime


  • 10mg Adderall
  • 2g Sea Salt + Electrolytes
  • 1.5g Beta-Alanine
  • 500–1000mg Pomegranate Extract
  • 100mg B6 (P5P)
  • Black Coffee (optional)

7:00 AM – Light Fuel + Base Compounds


  • 25mg Anavar
  • 10mg Tbol
  • 20mg Proviron

  • Landmine Split Jerks – 5x3/side
  • Rotational Landmine Press – 3x8/side
  • Clean Pulls to Catch – 5x3
  • Sandbag Shouldering + Sprint – 3 rounds

  • No fluids after 8:30 PM (sips only)



DAY 2 – NEURAL ENCODING


Same structure, minus Halo and B6


  • Movement session focused on slower, controlled pattern reinforcement
  • Music blend: classical + unfamiliar hybrid
  • Same meals and stacks
  • Final Proviron at night, full recovery stack



Summary


  • Microdose Halo (2.5mg) is used as a one-time ignition switch for CNS pattern encoding
  • Training is torque-focused, rotational, and uses full-body bracing to imprint mechanics
  • Audio cues + physical cues = neural imprint
  • By Day 2, the goal is movement precision and long-term anchoring, not intensity

Thoughts and feedback appreciated but not necessary. I will be running this for the first time tomorrow and will be back with any notes or observations.

@rüd diving into neural override with a CNS cementing protocol is next-level. Using microdoses of neuro enhancers and anabolics like Halotestin for that neurological ignition, while managing your body’s demands with structured nutrients, shows you're pushing the envelope on body optimization. It’s cool how you integrate music to anchor the neural responses during peak sessions. This blend of biohacking with traditional bodybuilding could really lock in those motor patterns and make the gains more durable. Looking forward to seeing how this innovative approach pans out for you, though without a LOG its just all guessing.
I think you need a lot of work on food bro
 
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.
 
This isn’t about getting jacked. I’m running a 2-day protocol to rewire my nervous system so my body moves better, faster, and more powerfully—on autopilot. Then do it again a few days later while still on my de load week. After that back to my original cycle.

Day 1 is the ‘record’ phase. I hit a small dose of Halotestin, use precision movements, and stack brain-focused supplements to lock in new patterns and reinforce old ones.

Day 2 is the ‘save to hard drive’ phase. No Halo, just reinforcing everything under control so it sticks long-term.

I’m not chasing size here—I’m training my brain to fire like I’m already on Tren without needing to blast it. Neural override doesn’t happen often, and when it does? I wanna making it count.
 
What in this Theory work on any oral steroid? Why specifically Halo is what I'm trying to understand?
What in this Theory work on any oral steroid? Why specifically Halo is what I'm trying to understand?

Halotestin is uniquely suited for neural cementing because of its high affinity for androgen receptors in the central nervous system, not just muscle tissue. Its fast-acting, non-aromatizing nature allows for acute increases in dopamine, neuromuscular coordination, and aggression without the hormonal baggage of other compounds. At a microdose (2.5mg), it creates a controlled neural surge—ideal for encoding motor patterns during high-focus, torque-driven movement work. Unlike traditional anabolics, Halo enhances the brain's ability to fire and retain explosive movement sequences under pressure. This makes it less of a mass-builder and more of a neurochemical programming tool when used precisely.
 
I would love to see more people experimenting like this and playing around with their body.
 
Yeah, let us know if you're gonna truly log this for us.

Keeping up updated would be cool.
 
Bros. I agree with the above.

Good experiment, but maybe dumb it down a little bit. So we can understand what you're trying to do.

Here’s a clean, quick explanation of why these compounds work together in my neural cementing protocol:


---

This stack isn’t about size—it’s about precision.

Halotestin lights up the nervous system so you can lock in movement patterns with intensity.

Anavar and Tbol give clean strength, endurance, and recovery without bloating or mental fog.

Proviron boosts mental sharpness and stabilizes hormones so the system stays focused and dry.

L-Tyrosine and B6 enhance dopamine and neural firing so your brain stays locked in.

Beta-Alanine and Pomegranate support muscle endurance and blood flow to keep everything running smooth.


Together, they form a system:

Neural ignition (Halo)

Clean fuel and reinforcement (Var, Tbol)

Stability and focus (Proviron, Tyrosine, B6)

Execution endurance (Beta-Alanine, Pom)


Im not just lifting—im teaching your body how to fire better, and this stack makes sure every part of that process is covered.


Why Music?

Im using music as a neural anchor—a way to link movement with emotion and rhythm so my brain remembers it better.

Classical or slow ambient music in the morning calms the nervous system and helps lock in control.

Cinematic, foreign, or primal music during power sets adds intensity and emotion, helping you perform explosive movements with maximum intent.

By using different genres for different training phases, your brain learns to associate specific sounds with specific movement states.


Simple version: Music becomes a cue system for your nervous system to shift into the right mode.


---

Why Trigger Words?

Words like “Locked,” “Loaded,” “Pull the Trigger,” “Hold,” “Drive” are used during reps to reinforce timing and focus.

Each word is tied to a specific part of the movement:

“Locked” = brace your core, root your stance

“Loaded” = build tension

“Pull the Trigger” = unleash power or rotation

“Hold” = isometric control, resist

“Drive” = push through the finish


I say or hear these words at key moments to train your brain to fire the right muscles at the right time.

Simple version: The words become verbal switches—you’re programming your body like software.


---

Music + words = mental map for movement.
Im building a system your body can follow even under fatigue, chaos, or competition stress.

I'm rewiring the fuckin system to do what I used to do more efficiently. Not stronger over night.. using the strength I have in a more efficient manner.


If no one has heard of neural override you should look it up. Literally overnight my brain hit a switch which changed the way I move.. from lifts to how I put my shoes on. I'm sharpening a newly awakened part of my system that wasn't available to me before. But this method and protocol should be universal I'm just highly susceptible to big change at the moment..

Deads 405 doubles the start of this cycle.. 240 bench... not sharing squat atm because it's a story (198 bw). But the way things have been moving I'm looking forward to exit strength numbers.
 
Well that makes it sound bad.. but yes. Instead of just upping doses use this stuff smarter. I couldn't find anything close to this whole train of thought anywhere so I designed it.

Leaner meaner stronger.
No. Just less fat and more visible muscle. More muscle, bigger muscle and a LITTLE fat + good nerve signals is stronger. There's a LOT of science behind doing a high percentage of your 1RM again and again reinforces the signal.

Halo, without over thinking the science (as well as a few other PEDs) CAN enable a (for some) more aggressive and or more alert state. Hence high, but short lived, dosing by lifters.

You do NOT need to enhance your brains ability to be focused etc. Literal repeating best practice will 'rewire' the brain.

I'll make this real simple - experiments have been done with narcotics, LSD and more and NONE made for a world class lifter
 
There is SOME evidence to the music aspect as well as the verbiage. The music should be media. You could watch a video or read a poem and get as strong of an effect. With music while classical uplifting might do it so would a high beats per minute dance tune. It usually comes down to heavy rock or metal.

The verbal aspect is even simpler. It's just key words. Words have zero power in and of themselves. Like none. But we GIVE them power. Using those words as triggers (whatever works for you) is no different to the ringing of a bell to make a dog think it's dinner time.

One problem we have as humans is over thinking. We can 'science da fuck' out of a very simple idea. Take the phrase above re PV: so the system stays focused and dry. Dry here doesn't mean dry. It means not distracted. If words have power use the right ones.

Others have asked for simpler explanations. Some of the best ideas are very simple and those who understand said topics see that the core concept IS simple.

Example: Halo doesn't enhance being alertness more than caffeine. And esp so at so-called micro-doses. Heck does anyone recall how silicon valley brain boxes were all micro-dosing 'shrooms' 5 years or so ago? Ditto LSD. Did that work? No. Still a thing? No

PSYCHO BLAST THE ULTIMATE PUMPOUT​

By Denie
 
Simple approach: Who here is 100% on point? I don't mean with PEDs or meals I mean with EVERYTHING. One or two top pros have said something like 'if someone beats me it's cos they're better... but there's no way they did more'. Meaning from the time you get up after a good nights sleep, set yourself up mentally after a good shit and EVERY aspect of the day enhances training and recovery from that.

Few to none including me. But I do ENOUGH and have done so for soooo long that I've got big and strong. I'll use @pigsy as an example. Great genetics for muscle, good response to PEDs, a great home gym and lots of time doing it = muscle freak. But his days gathering grapes at the vineyard (sometimes 16+ hours) MUST hold him back a bit - even if it's just on those days.

I've talked about doing a days work, being zoned out on the train home commute and still having a kick ass workout on arriving at the gym (right next to the rail station). Why? Cos I'd done so 1000's of times and my body knew what to do. Heck, there's even an argument to be made for 'removing' the brain or thinking from training. If we did we'd ignore the pain or tiredness.
 
To be clear I have also argued that the mental side is as important as the physical. Even to the point of, all things being equal, it being what makes some successful.

Sports related language (and thinking) is a topic in and of itself. Think negative, positive and open.

Negative is 'I can't/I won't'
Positive is 'I can/I will'
Open is 'I might/let's just see'

What can seem negative, can also be a driver. If you got up close to me during an attempt at a PR you might hear me 'get this done you fat cunt'.

True mental triggers can vary. I've worked with athletes who happened to mention a trying time in their lives. A little side story. It might even be as simple and common a thing as wanting to make their children proud of daddy/mummy. I'll use the normal language to encourage and then pull the 'red button marked do not push except in times of danger' words out when peak effort is required. You'll note zero mention of chemicals. Var etc will NOT make this better. Life, experience and emotion will. If, as we are, hormones make a difference it's not testosterone here.

On podcasts Stevesmi and I discussed early forms of Test and mentioned stuff lifters have done as well as the various 'super soldier' type programs. In extreme examples lifters jabbed adrenaline. That can't be done often. In the case of the military they used and abused methamphetamine (British RAF pilots for example as well as German Tank crews). Neither made them better... just more awake.
 
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)_/¯

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.

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.

I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. I’m fully aware that what I’m doing isn’t breaking new ground across the board. But I noticed a shift — movements that were an RPE 8 dropped to a 4 literally overnight. That’s not just strength, that’s a neural override.

As soon as I recognized that, I didn’t double down on load — I pulled back, deloaded, and built something around it. I’m now running a neural consolidation phase: torque-focused movement, rotational bracing, cue-based execution, and low-CNS patterning — all designed to lock in new mechanics while this window of plasticity is open.

I didn’t post this to flex some new system. I posted it to either get reinforcement that this approach makes sense, or to hear why it wouldn’t work.

Im not a bro scientist with a bottle of gear in one hand and a beaker in the other. My first approach, as listed above, has yielded some very odd results and look forward to posting them in my coming log.
 
@rüd you didnt answer my post why?

@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:
 
@rüd you didnt answer my post why?
I also didn't read all of SteveMobsters ramblings.. I work full time, the rest of my time is spent eating, lifting, sleeping or doing the dishes. I have plenty to log but don't currently have time to compile my eating schedule, macro counts, workouts, notes, pictures, logs and ramblings into something worth posting. You say 15-20 min.. I won't rush my log and when I post it, it will be complete and take longer than that. I'm not looking for critiquing on macros or on how im stacking my compounds atm.. I had an idea and shared it. I'll get around to posting my log when I have the time.

Thank you for your interest in what I'm doing and appreciate the guidance of how to post a log.

You dont have to compile bro just put up some pics and what you got @rüd
I hope that didn't sound rude.. i am just extremely in the middle of a few things atm.
does sound rude but we all on steroids lol so anger grows
 
It does sound a little like 'science based training'. Which is fast becoming a trope

Try not to let the idea be a thing in and of itself vs just working hard.
 
I don’t think I would go with halo man. Stuffs to toxic
At high doses and long term (which might be an issue here) too. Those powerlifters I mentioned used it high but for short periods
