Sorry this is kind of long, but I thought you can't really answer questions without knowing some background.
I did a 1-ad only cycle early this year and had good results. At that time I was on a bulking up cycle and gained 8lbs of lbm in 8 weeks. In the following post cycle recovery, I kept the bulking up cycle (diet, cardio, training all the same) and gained another 4 lbs total, 2 lbm and 2 fat over about another 8 weeks. This is a good comparison of typically what I would gain without ph vs what I could do with them. Even though the total weight gain wasn’t eye popping, I was pleased with the fact that I gained almost no fat while on the ph, and that I kept all of the muscle gains afterward (and even kept gaining a little bit).
Now I want to do a 1-ad only cycle while I’m trying to get lean. I had 2 main negative side effects during my first cycle, both of which did not get bad until the last 3-4 weeks of the cycle. I had trouble sleeping and the reduction in libido was noticeable. What can I do to minimize these two side effects? I am going to try 2 shorter cycles (maybe 5 weeks or so) spaced 4 weeks apart instead of one longer cycle. I took tribulus during my post cycle recovery. If I take this during the 1-ad cycle will it help with the reduction in libido issue? What about adding in 4-ad? Does it help with these problems? But aren’t there other side effects in addition to some bloating with adding in 4-ad?
My stats – 40 years old, 6 ft tall 203 lbs at 11% bf (at end of bulking up cycle, caliper measured a couple weeks ago). Lifting off and on for many years, but training hard for about 4. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
