Don't compare last 2 weeks before a show when you barely get up and go to gym and a avreage Joe day when he has few meals in or at least some carbs.I ran hplc tested halo at 30mg a day for two weeks during prep leading up to my show. I know for a fact it was 100% real and I did not “feel” anything or get any crazy strength boost. I was very depleted and exhausted from prep and it didn’t change the fact that my lifts were challenging. I was able to match the log book Mostly and sometimes missed a rep even.
I have never really “felt” anything from strong orals in the past that I also know were real. Adrol, dbol, etc.
So I can tell you first hand a feels report is not always accurate even when using very powerful drugs.
