More food for thought. Much of this applies to stacking 3-Alpha with either Test or 4-AD
1. DHT binds to the AR about 3-4 times better than testosterone.
2. DHT will reduce the amount of estrogen aromatized by the testosterone because DHT has a strong affinity for the aromatize enzyme yet does not use its structural makekup. Thus there are less aromatize enzymes for the other steroids (such as testosterone) to use to form estrogen.
3. DHT should work synergistically and increase the effectiveness of circulating testosterone. DHT does this by it affinity to binding to the sex steroids, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. Usually, a large amount of circulating testosterone cannot be used for anabolic purposes because it is largely bound by these sex steroids (from Big Cat’s Steroid Profiles). Thus, when testosterone is stacked along with a DHT compound, the DHT will take up most of these proteins allowing the testosterone to exert greater anabolic effects (even at lower dosages).
4. When stacking with DHT, there is not need for an anti-aromatize such a letrozole because of its ability to act as a strong anti-aromatize itself.
5. DHT should help with the lethargy normally associated with 1-test
Adding DHT to any test or 4-AD stack should make for a very good lean mass summer stack. Currently, I am on a four week 1-test/TNE cycle. I am going to add 3-Alpha to my stack for the last two weeks of the cycle (starting Tuesday). I will report the results. I will be going with:
225 mg’s 1-test/day
225 mg’s TNE/day
150 mg’s 3-Alpha/day
