Giving Stenadrol a shot

[Rodja]

Besides hitting delts on OHP days, when is the other day you train them, after bench?

Yes, it's mainly lighter band or DB work consisting of mainly pullaparts and various laterals.

Today was almost like being in a shirt for the first time again. I had good strength on the lifts, but speed and tightness were an issue (no ****). I'm not able to fully retract the scapula and it effected my ability to stay right in the lats after the liftoff. It'll come in time, though.

I wrote 3 specific goals for this year:
705 squat
501 bench
601 deadlift

So far, I've hit the 601 pull. Granted, I should've gotten that **** a year ago, but better later then never. Squats are moving up and I'll be giving 700 a whirl straps up in a month or so. I'm giving myself 2 months of shirt work before I'm getting back to my old numbers.

Straps up for the first time since my last meet, which was in August. I didn't feel nearly as rough as I expected and my unrack looked much better than last time I did this weight a couple of weeks ago. 705 is the goal for the year and I'm on the right track to get there.

FINAL REVIEW

I'll break this up into three categories: experience while running it, strength, and body comp

Experience
Frankly, this was a very, very rough ride for me. Within a week, the lethargy hit hard and it didn't really let up. I know that it's due to the potency of the product, so be prepared to be eating a shitload of carbs to keep glycogen high and stave off some of the lethargy. 5/10

Strength
I broke through a long-standing deadlift plateau and hit 600 smoothly. This was the most significant PR with some other smaller ones sprinkled in there. I comfortably hit ~655 on squat as well, which may be a PR for me at this weight, but I can't recall. 8/10

Body Comp
I leaned out while gaining ~6# during the run. I didn't take any BF% at any point, but it's evident from the pics that BF was dropped. 9/10

Overall, this is far from a beginner product and would consider it a more advanced product. Ideally, this needs to be run with some form of test and/or DHT base to mitigate some of the sides.

Missed these pics when I last checked. Rodja, awesome transformation for such a short run!!!! Lats def came out more clearly, thinner waist! And looking way harder than before!

You've been carb back loading every day of the week? Or only on lift days?? And for how many hours a day?

Nice job, Rodja. Have you taken a standard methyl sten product before and if so, how would you compare them?

Each day and somewhere between 3-6 hours depending on when I train on a given day. Sundays are the days of the biggest backloads as I'm done training by ~5 and gorge until bed.

I've taken Ultradrol up to 20mg/day. The synergy between the two compounds at 3 caps/day really kicked my ass. I'd say without a doubt that you'd need to be running a solid bulk with a lot of carbs throughout the day.
