I couldn't agree with you more, I train primarily for strength, so I try to use the more androgenic gear like Tren but Halotestin is usually fake so can't trust it.
I don't think short cycling with Tren (2 weeks) works very well for strength, especially 2 weeks on, unless I keep the gains while I am off, I will see. Last cycle I lost a lot of strength and it started at about week 3 in to my PCT. I think by the time you peak with the Tren you are coming off. Around day 8-10 I notice my strength starts to really pick up, so 4-6 days later I drop the stuff, it is a huge let down. I am currently on day 10 now, my squat is barely budging though it is getting easier to get in the bucket with the weight I was using b4 (I fear my squats b4 cycle were a bit too shallow). My Bench is going back up 2.5 lbs every workout, though the amount of volume is starting to fade as I increase weight. My shoulder press jumped a lot and strength and volume is increasing steadily. Deadlifts and Power Cleans I can't really comment on because there are less workouts with these exercises than the other muscle groups, however they have increased.
Now if I can maintain the strength gains and some of the volume over 4 weeks I would consider it a success. It seems to me Tren and Test Prop don't start hitting you hard enough until your about a week in. I think some of the orals work faster maybe that is why Bill recommends Tren/Dbol, the Dbol is a good kick start. Next time I will frontload too, that might speed things up too.
