Yea man it was big when steroids were not controlled in the usa. Then I think available in a product called Stenox out Of mexico in blister packs at 2.5mgs a peice IIRC. This was pre internet and I was young, so at that time it wasn't what do I want to run but what can I actually get my hands on. These were always either not really available in sufficient quantities or other stuff around had a lot more bang for your buck as they were kinda pricey for a kid in high school who worked limited hours. I did run a whopping 3 or 5 (i cant remember) tabs a day for a month and didn't notice a thing. Of course there.could have been other stuff around but this is all I know of personally. They really have not been around that much that I have seen. Maybe someone with some pre contest experience could give a different/better representation as halo is more of a pre contest drug. And I think really only a precontest drug. I bet I went from age 19 to 32 without hearing a word about it. Then some fighters of note started looking for it and I believe they wound up using winny as the liquid was easier to conceal traveling overseas and could just be drank. This was before Usada. Then maybe every couple years something like this pops up.
Do sponsors even carry it??? Anyone who coaches talk about it?? I mean the guy could be talking about some "Local Yokals" lab that just used methyl test or dbol....or even crushed up their little sisters birth control(and now he got her pregnant)..I don't know but if it sounds fucked up...that's because it is. With so many labs these days its really laughable that this could be faked on some grand scale. Especially with something that would bloat you.
Also I am by no means an expert I just tried.to give as much info as I know, my personal experience and my opinion.
