Halo - Not Feeling A Thing
Hi all. I've been using steroids for years, have run a lot of different compounds, but never halo. I'm going into one of the most competitive strongman competitions of my life and wanted a boost of strength and decided to finally give halo a try for its strength benefits.
Thus far I have tried halo from two very reputable sources and in addition running 1500mg/day TUDCA + NAC, and Revive Lipid and Kidney supps as well to be as extra precautionary as I can due to its purported harshness. I started each source's halo at 10mg/day pre-workout for a couple days and felt nothing. Bumped it to 20mg/day for a couple days and felt nothing. Then 30mg and finally 40mg and nothing whatsoever. No negative or positive physically felt sides other than possibly a bit of a depressed mood, but certainly no aggression, extra energy or strength whatsoever. I had bloods drawn this past Thursday, but they're no doubt going to be delayed due to the holiday weekend, so I won't see what if any affect they might have on my liver enzymes and cholesterol for a few more days, but I've also been able to keep my liver enzymes completely normal on orals with the TUDCA+NAC doses above.
I don't know what I'm hoping to be told here, but I guess the real question is; am I so unlucky that I got fake Halo from two different reputable sources? I'm also running 1000mg/wk Sustanon and 500mg/wk Deca. Those two alone I've felt great. AI seems to be on point (again labs will show that soon), I'm lean and mean and been doing well on the oils alone, so thinking I'm going to just stick with them. But really bummed about the Halo situation. Thoughts?

Anadrol might be beneficial for a couple week blast and strength boost.
After a few weeks it's better to drop tho, the binding affinity isn't all that and never seem to progress with it from that point.
Looks like you got some bunk halo from your description. It's quite pricey too, might be the reason. I'd raise the issue with the sources you got it off.
I'm considering it. I have some Anadrol on hand that I know is good, but waiting to see my lab work first before starting it. If the halo was bunk then I guess it's not going to hurt to run another oral. I've had good success running Anadrol 2 weeks on and 2 off for a couple blasts. The 3rd week it normally makes me feel pretty lethargic at any doses over 75mg/day.
I raised the issue with the first source. No response. That honestly bothers me, because I've been using them for two + years and they've always been one that went above and beyond. Perhaps they're going down hill. I'll shoot the other source a message and see what they say.
Very difficult to say without knowing what Lab it is. I'll have to have a look and see if you have put it up in your pictures section ..... Nope Lol Nice Deadlift by the way
I never really think about putting up pictures. Thanks on the deadlift. I'm hoping to pull 825 raw at next comp!
Damn man - You need to be giving me some tips! I should have hit 7 plates by now but still bloody haven't Lol What does your training tend to look like?
I'm really built for deadlifting, so that helps lol. I tend to only deadlift once a week, rotating intensity every week on a 3 week rotation where I'll go for a 10 rep max one week, then drop back and pull 60%-65% 5x5 the following and then go for a 3RM the third week followed by another 10 rep max drop set. I put a lot of work into RDLs, GMs, pull throughs, barbell bridges, etc. as well as rotating heavy accommodating resistance in some weeks, especially reverse band to really overload the top end while still pulling full ROM. I also do a lot of heavy barbell/DB rows, but typically the next day with my pressing, but only because I've found if I do heavy rows the day before, my press is trash. Form is incredibly important as well. I pull conventional with a fairly narrow stance and initiate the pull with by glutes and hamstrings loaded, and shins perpendicular to the floor so I'm pulling straight up my shins. Hope that helps!
Oh yeh Barbell Rows for sure wreck your bench if you do them even 48 hrs before - I think its because they kill your control on the way down in the negative if your back is still sore and they also make your front delts extremely sore, so put those two together and the weight if heavy just ends up bombing on you.
I love doing barbell rows for size but found doing them alongside deads too taking on my lower back and CNS - in fact they destroy my deads. When I benched 470 I never did any back work either, other than the low rep deadlifts. So when people say you need a big strong back to bench big, well I never did or had mega triceps at 185lb's. I think deads defo help bench with keeping a strong arch and hips though.
josipgatesYou should feel halo even at 10mg...if not answer is simple bunk,cause halo raws are expensive it happens
Maybe you are not the little angel your grammy told you were.
No " halo " for you.
Ha I couldnt resist.
From the other post on halo it seems you should have seen something by now. That sucks. Is there a way you can test the med?
I am definitely not a "little angel" haha. I don't have any connections to test my gear for quality, unfortunately. Other than physical affects and labs, I've got nothing.
I think the liver toxity is not as high as all people and infos say. With 20-40mg 1-1 1/2 hrs pre wo I get always crazy aggression, motivation and a focus which is crazy. But I know only 1-2 sources they produce good working halo. Take your halo together with a stim free pre wo and look what happens. If you feel nothing at 40mgs pre wo, you've bunk gear.
Yep, I've tried taking it without other stimulants and still nothing, even at 40mg. It's so hard to believe that two reputable sources have potentially sent me bunk gear. One of them has been my long-time go to and never had a single issue with any of their compounds. But the Halo just isn't doing it. So much sadness.
pm me
Pm sent for brand cuz I just picked some up first time as well so I’m curious
FR accepted and message sent.
Stairmaster is right. I also think bunk gear. Often faked for cheaper compound of nothing at all.
AnonAre you taking the halo at least 2 hours apart from your Tudca?
Yes, typically around 3-4 hours later.
your halo is bunk
