Okay all you naturals.. (or OTC bodybuilders)
What stacks are working for you?
Even the not so naturals...Chime in too. I'd like to see the difference between the supplement stacks. I wonder if the basics are much different?
My 'staples' are:
* Creatine (NeoVar Recomped or Cre-02)
* Multivitamin
* Antioxidant
* Good Fats (flaxseed or hempseed oil or fish oils)
* Protein Powder (that includes BCAAs in)
* OsteoSport
* Lipotrophin-PM
* IGF-2
* DCP
I 'cycle' RPM (12 weeks on/1-2 weeks off) and Drive (8-10 weeks on/2-4 weeks off) throughout the year.
IGF-2 is my favourite supplement, as it keeps me relatively lean whilst allowing for muscle accretion. I almost never stop using it and when I do I notice the difference BIG time!
The best stack I ever used re gaining muscle was:
* Activate Xtreme
* Drive
* IGF-2
* NeoVar Recomped
* RPM
* OsteoSport
I don't understand how all these test boosters that can give you all sorts of side effects are considered "natural." Something natural is not going to give you gyno.
As already mentioned, NATURAL testosterone boosters are NOT going to give you gyno and they do not have any side effects either aside from perhaps acne or nausea (if they contain icarrin).
Would Dermacrine be considered natural? Its dhea and resveratrol.
Dermacrine would NOT be considered natural, as DHEA is a hormonal precursor.
bro, last time i checked the INBF and the NGA banned list they both had DHEA listed as a banned substance i'm pretty sure.
DHEA (and all other hormonal precursors) are banned in the Natural Federations. However, 7-Keto DHEA (i.e. 7-OXO DHEA), 7alphaOH-DHEA, and 7beta-OH-DHEA, as the ONLY exceptions, ARE ALLOWED in the Pro Natural Federations and have been since 2007!
See link below for the Natural Federations' "Banned Substances" list.
Thanks for the info........
Has anyone tested positive in ANY "Natural" organization for DHEA via Lean Xtreme?
Please post references.
Again, I appreciate the info and the offer of an alternative to LX.
You would NOT test positive after having used Lean Xtreme, as 7-OXO DHEA and 7-OH DHEA are NOT "banned substances".

LIST OF WNBF BANNED SUBSTANCES said:
7-oxo-DHEA (also known as 7-keto-DHEA), 7alpha-hydroxy-DHEA (7alphaOH-DHEA) and 7beta-hydroxy-DHEA (7beta-OH-DHEA) are not banned by the WNBF or INBF when used for weight loss. Although hormonal metabolites of DHEA, they do not elevate testosterone levels and can be used by WNBF or INBF athletes.
