he topic starter,, what is your definition on a hardening compound?
Hardening imo is normally for the last stage when you want to look good or go compete on stage ( been there, done that).
For me its
- be lean, so 6% or less
- don't use a lot of watery compounds (that make hold water)
- easy on salt etc. so have a good diet.
than I normally put in a mix or one of these compounds:
- halo,, very good for hardening, very very good,
when you have a good halo source it will even give you a hard boner
in an hour of taking in. So that's also a good hardening.
- winny, hard on joints but gets water in right places or out and hardens up
- tren is a good hardening compound but must be ace version and not used in the last final faces
must use it for couple of weeks before the final hardening stage.
- mast,, this a good 'polisher' is a must imo for competing and hardening,,,
will make you hold less water between skin and muscle, with tren and and oral very good combo
- anavar,, only in high doses (for me), not big fan of it now a days.
I can talk about he use of an diuretic, AI etc. for even hardening more up,, but these above compounds are my favorites.
