I'm finishing up my 4th week of Halodrol and I wanted run by my planned PCT by you guys. I'll start from week one and don't worry I've been taking liver support, fish oil, etc... but won't include it. FYI....I've had decent results (gained 8lbs and lost about ~3lbs of body fat) no sides accept for a little ball shrinkage. I wish I would have eat more though, only about 3000 calories a day. I think I would of had better gains, although, I'm digging my 7% body fat right now. Oh yeah, I'm 26 years old, 6'1" and 195lbs.

Week 1 - Halodrol 50mg/day
Week 2 - Halodrol 50mg/day
Week 3 - Halodrol 50mg/day / Novedex 180mg/day
Week 4 - Halodrol 50mg/day / Novedex 180mg/day
Week 5 - Novedex 240mg/day / 6-oxo 600mg/day / Retain 150mg/day
Week 6 - Novedex 240mg/day / 6-oxo 600mg/day / Retain 150mg/day
Week 7 - Novedex 180mg/day / 6-oxo 400mg/day / Retain 150mg/day
Week 8 - Novedex 180mg/day / 6-oxo 400mg/day / Retain 150mg/day
Week 9 - Novedex 120mg/day / 6-oxo 200mg/day / Retain 150mg/day
Week 10 - Novedex 120mg/day / 6-oxo 200mg/day / Retain 150mg/day

Note - I used only 6-oxo after my first cycle (masterdrol) and had good luck with it. I used only Formadrol after my second cycle (masterdrol) and lost 1/2 my gains. This is my third cyle and I'd like to incorporate 6-oxo again.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK! I APPRECIATE IT!!!

Additionally, if anyone has any recommendations as to the time of day I should be taking these supps, I would appreciate it. I know Novedex and 6-oxo are recommended with last meal of the day, however, with this dosages I was wondering if I should split up the 6-oxo or even the novedex. Plus, I have no idea how to take retain...

I would never recommend pct without a SERM when using a steroid as potent as halodrol. In addition, the use of novedex and 6oxo in the same pct is basically redundant, so to conserve $ 6oxo could be dropped and be just as effective. In addition, what support supps are you using during and post?

Well, I am a SERM hater :)

Changes I would make:

Use Nolvadex OR 6OXO, not both. Taper down either dose.

Start retain at begining of week 3 to compensate for potential hypoadrenalism (cort production will be suppressed). Waiting 10-14days for cortisol production to begin before using cort inhibitor.

Use SAMe for liver protection both on and off cycle at 400mg a day (200mg active). Just do a pub med search - the research blows milk thistle away for effectiveness - esp relating to hepatic dmg caused by oral steroids.

I encourage the use of Indole-3-Carbinole (I3C) at 400mg for 2 week and 200mg for weeks 3-4 during PCT. It is great, solid evidence IMO for its effectivenes at modifying estrogen lvs.

I like the whole before bed/first thing in morning routine - easy to remember and provides good even coverage.

Thanks fellas. Will do. The supp support I've been using is from anabolic innovations named cycle support. I take it twice a day. One serving has the following:

Red Yeast Rice 1200 mg
Silymarin (milk thistle extract) 1000 mg
NAC 1200 mg
Hawthorn Berry 1000 mg
Saw Palmetto 300 mg
Policosonol 20 mg
Celery Seed Extract 150 mg
Nettle Root 250 mg
Idebenone 100 mg

I've also ordered MRM BCAA+G, which I'm excited to take as I don't think I've been getting enough amino accids. I've been taking 12 scoops of cytogainer a day.

Any other advice would me apprecitated...
