I am following this so please keep it up. I went back and re-read the article also.

Monday = 115mg fina
Tuesday = 75mg fina
Wednesday = 75mg fina
Thursday = 75mg fina

I did the one-day-arm-cure on Tuesday. By the following Monday my system should be nearly clean (since acetate easters are released over a period of only a few days). Since tren is 3 times more supressive of natural test than testosterone is (the big drawback), I'll have do use clomid throughout and for several weeks after (no big deal). The advantage of the fina though is that it is the only AS that kills cortisol receptors (any tren for that matter). The dosages I am doing are a bit high for tren, but since it will only be a one week cycle, what the hell. I did not want to extend the cycle since the purpose of this cycle is not to bulk me up, cut me up, or anything like that -- the purpose is simply to aid and recovery while I focus on my arm development this week.

So in a nutshell, my experience with this workout might be atypical, but who cares. I'm still taking other measures that natural trainers will be taking to do a workout like this (glutamine, creatine, ALC before the workout, and 800mg of PS as well.)

If other people were to try this, I would recommend taking a high dose of dbol in the morning (only in the morning as not to suppress natural test) for several days. Since the half-life of dbol is so short, you could take as much as 50mg each morning for several days to help aid in muscle recovery. Doing it that way, you shouldn't need clomid at all.

I think I'm taking other supplements but I can't remember off the top of my head. Of course I always use proscar for the hair and since fina is quite toxic I'm using primose oil and milk thistle. Oh, and don't forget to take lots of vitamin C the day you do the routine (not to mention the creatine/glutamine load after.)

This is the second day after I performed the routine and my arms are still quite sore, but not more sore than they have been at times in the past. Although it's too soon to see the full results, here are the measurements to date:

Morning of the One-Day-Arm Cure:
Left arm = 17.5" cold; Right arm = 17.25" cold

Day 1 (morning) after One-Day-Arm Cure:
Left arm = 17.25" cold; Right arm = 17" cold
(shrinkage due to glycogen depletion)

Day 2 (morning) after One-Day-Arm Cure:
Left arm = 17.5" cold; Right arm = 17.25" cold

I am kinda wondering if the arm cure will work for me since they say it only works once or twice a year. I suppose with gear that would not be the case.

I have not tried it this year but I did something similar to this already and I swear it worked. I was measuring my arms regularly and when I did a big all day arm and chest work out one day, to see if I was over training or not, I was killing myself with 65 pound dumbbell curls with what I thought was terrible form. I noticed about a week later my arms where almost 1 inch bigger! Since then I have raised my intensity level and I expect some huge gains. I am totally natural (for now) and a 1 inch increase in less than a month seems like incredible progress. (for me anyway)

Is this the first time you used gear?

What kind of gains did you see from the gear?

I don't see the gains from using gear worth the risks or I would be using the gear. I may get to the point I stop progressing and need help though some day soon.

Yeah, it was not quite an inch, more like 7/8 of an inch but I am beginning to wonder if the creatine had anything to do with it. I accidentally mixed the creatine way too strong. I poured the whole bottle in a container of Gatorade and didn't realize I was drinking about 5 times the recommended dose. Boy did it feel great though! Nice recovery time. But the creatine was gone in about a week (opps)

I am going to start a new cycle of workouts next week because I am cycling off for a week to rest. I will take some measurements and see if it was just water weight gain or muscle.

I have not done the creatine for a week and my weight dropped about 3 pounds. I still feel like my arms are bigger though because my tris rub my ribcage more now.

UPDATE ON THE ONE-DAY-ARM CURE:

I still think I will try it. But I have some pain in my right arm right now, from a old injury, so I will have to wait til it feels better.
