I recently finished 3 weeks of D-Plex (a D-Plex to P-Plex bridge), and many of my comments would echo those above.
I noticed lethargy at 100mg a day. For the first 2-3 days, it had an immediately stimulating effect probably akin to a DHT-type compound, but that went away quickly. So did the unstoppable urge to urinate without delay
, thankfully.
I didn't know what to expect from it either honestly or how many calories to go above maintenance, etc. Some anti-aromatase activity, dry, mild gains, some glycogen loading, and muscle tightness perhaps. It seems to have delivered in those areas, and I was actually impressed with the compound and will probably run it again in the future. The muscle tightness and fullness was great.
What really surprised me was that it really had no ill effects on my mood whatsoever whereas mDHT is notorious for methyl raging (lol), and I remember how I was on tren last year (and so do a lot of ppl in my periphery!). And the prostate issues went away in less than a week too.
By the time I bridged into P-Plex though (last week of D-Plex was 50mg; first week of P-Plex at 20mg), lethargy was started to really wallop me. I added some 4-DHEA/4AD UTT (AMS) and that helped instantly. I'm sure the P-Plex had a lot to the do with the lethargy, but the D-Plex contributed some.
Of course, looking forward, I am curious as to what to run this compound with (since it is relatively high dose 17aa) and what to use it best for (cutting, recomp, lean bulk). If you consider the other CEL 17aa's that are typically used in a cut or recomp along with an non-methyl perhaps, it's kind of a tough decision. D-Plex+Furuza, D+11-sterone, D+P-Stanz, etc? In any of those combos, most would be inclined to include H-Drol instead of D-Plex (or P-Mag). Most everyone knows where H-Drol "goes" cycle-wise, perhaps b/c it is so versatile. Hopefully, D-Plex will soon reach the point that feedback will lend clarity to what combos and purposes it is best suited for.
What are your thoughts (CEL and others)?

Trey:
D-Plex does have some intrinsic activity in animals at least. It's A:A rating is 380:158. I pasted an article link below that you might find interesting. It basically claims that The One (which D-Plex is a clone of) is just mDHT. One of the central arguments is that the A:A rating is misleading b/c the doses given and studied in Vida were done so via injection whereas we are taking the pills orally. Supposedly, the oxime group attached to D-Plex (mestanoloxime) is stripped off more easily in an acidic environment (blood versus stomach acid), leaving mDHT which doesn't really build muscle. But your experience clearly says otherwise (and mine too).
