Quick Note for the MODS: This review has pictures included. I hope its alright that I just post everything together here in the review section. If not sorry, just let me know.
Alright everyone, here's my Superdrol (SD) review. I just want to say that this is the best shape I have ever been in. I FIRMLY believe that the SD played the most important role in that. Heres why:
My diet during this cycle was not as good as it has been in previous cycles when I was using M-1-T and way back when I was using 1-AD. Don't get me wrong, my diet was still VERY clean, it has just been cleaner in the past. If I was to rate my diet on this cycle on a scale of 1-10, one being the worst, I would give it a solid 8.
My commitment on going to the gym has been better in the past too, HOWEVER, I can say that once I was in the gym, I focused more and put more effort into my lifts on this cycle as opposed to previous ones. I really worked the "Mind to Muscle" connection that I read about here:
http://bodybuilding.about.com/od/how...overmuscle.htm. I know it sounds a little like [sarcastically] "Um, yeah...thats what your supposed to do". But I really focused and it helped me out.
A key supplement other than the SD that I want to mention was "Muscle Milk" protein. I know I am going to sound like a spokesperson for a minute, but seriously, its the best protein I have used. When I say that, I mean as far as MY body goes. There are some tough SOB's here that can sacrifice taste for betting a better deal financially, but I'm not one of them. If I have a bad tasting protein it will really discourage me from working out. I used to take Nitro Tech and I used to gag while drinking it, I swore to myself never again would I put myself through that. Besides how awesome Muscle Milk is to drink, it mixes REAL easy. But most importantly, the high fat content DID NOT cause any unwanted pounds (fat). Despite what I was assuming it would do, it did the opposite. It kept me lean and was a great protein supplement.
This review is the complete cycle, including the PCT. A two month stretch. The bad news is that all the "Before" pictures I took got corrupted when I was transferring them onto a CD rom from a different computer. They were awesome to as far as showing the difference. That was one thing I was very proud of was how every picture that was taken before matched perfectly (pose for pose) on all the pictures taken after. After losing all the before pictures I almost didn't want to do the review, but I thought that would be a huge waste. I didn't do any weight measurements, frankly I never do. I either always forget or end up using two different scales. I did do some taping though and the results are in this thread. One more thing, I didnt go for either a bulk or a cut. I was just going for a get in better shape routine. I did do cardio, but it was always in the morning of the days I didn't have to go to work and then I lifted later that night.
Side Effects: Not much to complain about. I have always had a few blemishes here and there on my face since the age of 14. Nothing too crazy though. An occasional "Aw man, I hope no one notices that". A little on my shoulders, just a little, but as far as acne goes, nothing dramatic. No gyno. No anger/aggression problems. some lethargy as far as getting TO the gym. I would get stuck on the couch sometimes and get really sleepy, I work the night shift too right now so I had that against me, but once I got IN the gym, I was WAY PUMPED. Lastly, I've had my blood work done and everything came back fine. My AST and TEST levels most importantly. The level of Alkaline Phosphatase was a little higher than normal, but nothing to be worried about. This of course is all according to my doctor, I don't really try to breakdown my lab work and research everything myself.

NOTE: I also have a large supply of both Clomid and Nolva if needed incase of Gyno.
Now I know the amount of SD is high, I have 4-AD in the mix, I ran a 4 week cycle and PCT and I didn't use Nolva or clomid for the PCT, I know that all sounds a little unconventional. I don't think what I did was unreasonable, but I am aware that some things I did was out of the norm. I don't want this review to be taken as a "suggestion" on how to run a cycle, I posted this only as a review for what SD did for ME at this amount and duration.
The attachments consist of my pictures and a calendar depicting my workout days, cardio days and diet cheat meals. Pictures--I know that my chest and legs are underdeveloped. My legs are coming around A LOT faster than my chest. The lighting doesn't do my legs justice. In all honesty, my legs look a lot better in real life. I couldn't even take "just leg" pictures either. They would just be white and you couldn't see anything so you have to look at them when I am in the complete body poses. Thats why there is more than one of those shots. As far as chest goes. I have no defense. I have posted a few times that I have a really hard time building a chest. My mom was built short and a little heavy but my dad is over 6 feet and built like a bean pole. So are all my uncles. (Just a little genetic background on myself). But my chest is coming slowly but surely.

The numbers (to me anyway) don't look that impressive. In fact, I really don't think I got that much bigger statistically wise. But I think that the look I have no verse a month ago is a leaner more muscular look. I mean please please don't read this as me being arrogant or into myself. Thats not the case at all. The point I want to make is despite how little I increased in the taping measurements, the product really worked and it worked well.
