Ok here's the deal. I ran a H-drol cycle. CLean as can be. Gained around 5-10lbs. I got to around 187lbs ripped to hell, in close to competition shape, if not competition shape at around 5'9-10 (off by maybe 5-8lbs). So I came off, and thought I'd be fine. Ran PCT, Nolva 40/40/20/20
Fast forward about 3 months, and I actually started GROWING on top of it. I was shocked obviously because I'd already run my cycle, stopped, PCTd and 3 months later, yet here I was... still growing. I felt recovered. I felt amazing actually. Unfortunately around month 4-5... I experienced what I can only describe as a crash... I started losing my gains/conditioning rapidly. Dick stopped working COMPLETELY. Felt lethargic all the time. I freaked out, ran Nolva again with no effect. I wanted to run clomid as well, but decided against it. WHat was happening was actually more of a reverse recomp. I lost no weight, but my conditioning got worse and worse from week to week to month. This lasted 4-6 months of feeling like utter crap. Eventually, I lost all my gains from the cycle and reverted back to my old conditioning. Stayed the same weight.
What is the deal here? Why did it take so long for me to crash? Was it that the hormones were still acting on the receptors in my system long after I discontinued use of Halo? I thought it had a very short half life and was in and out of your system in days? The brand I used was Iron Labs Halo-XT btw.
It's all very confusing to me because it took so damn long for me to lose my gains. And when I did I ALSO experienced a mythical crash on top of it.. I just find this weird that the crash came AFTER I was feeling better.. Any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Or any similar experiences.
Also, does this mean any further cycles of anything are a waste of time since I will just lose all my gains anyway? Is it time to start blasting and cruising? For just an extra 5lbs of muscle and a loss of 5lbs of fat it seems like a true waste to blast and cruise, and also very sad that I got so close to my goal physique by a few measly pounds of muscle and fat and lost it. I really do wish I could keep the gains... maybe I just picked the wrong compound? Is it possible that I can keep gains better from another cycle than I will from this compound? (i.e. maybe a SARM is better?) Or am I guaranteed to lose all my gains and conditioning over time?
