Huge thanks to Cheftepesh and the rest of the Iconic Formulations crew for getting Neuro DHEA and Neuro P5 sent out to me (quickly, I might add). I've been interested in Pregnenolone for quite some time, and after reading up on DHEA, I was certain I could benefit from this combo. For some quick info, JAS51 dug up a few studies here.
About Me
25 years old, 145lbs, extreme hardgainer, high cortisol, high prolactin, low(ish) T due to trauma to the jewel pouch.

Recently promoted to a focus-reliant environment, where previously I was just a production workhorse. The transition from physical labor to a more mental game has caused some struggles for me. The promotion means relocation, increased hours, travel, and a plethora of factors that have made life hellish recently. The physical game was easy, just do work. The mental game is challenging because I suffer from CRS. I'm hoping this stack can change that, because I feel that my workouts may be negatively impacted by being mentally out of it. /


I'll be using Neuro DHEA and Neuro P5 by rotating application areas at a rate of 1ml of each, daily. I'll also be using the following:

MassTech Extreme 2k - I've lost the time I once had to eat multiple meals throughout the day, so I'll be using this until I can iron out the wrinkles in my diet.
Amino Energy - Very lightly stimulated. I'm cutting back on my overall stimulant use, but have the worst headaches if I don't have some caffeine.
One Daily - Basic, non-comprehensive multi-vitamin because I'm still not receiving my agreed-upon pay-rate. (whole other story there)
Move Free Advanced - D3, Glucosamine, MSM, Uniflex, Chondroitin, and Hyaluronic Acid
Melatonin - Only on nights where I feel like I'm not very tired near bedtime.
Sweet Sticky Green Stuff - Because you know... I'm grown and whatnot...




I used it yesterday and today, and will be following this post up with some initial thoughts and other boring crap after tonight's session.

off to a great start!!!

I use hormonal td's primarily on neck, shoulders and traps, also using a sandwich baggie [can be bought at dollar tree very cheap] will prevent absorption on hands. I also use a hair dryer over applied area for around 30 seconds to help absorption!!!


good luck!!!

if you apply with bare hands a lot of it will absorb into hands....after applying you wash hands and wash it down the drain-why waste product=wasting money!!!

Today was upper and middle back. Good session with some fun pulls.

My girlfriend claims that the stack makes me smell like an old man lol! It's not a bothersome smell to me at all, though. after two applications, I can't say much, but I AM already feeling better mentally. I've been in a pretty good mood all day today. Maybe it's the fact that I'm on a 3-day weekend. Maybe it's placebo. All I know for sure is that today was a good day from start to finish.

Without even thinking, I just rub any excess solution from my hands onto my lower back. It's such a minuscule amount that I can't see it being an issue. I also have no problem walking around with my shirt off while I get ready in the morning to let it dry. It's dry by the time I get ready to leave the house in the morning.

I’m the same way. I just spend an extra minute or two with my shirt off so it dries properly.

Today I applied P5 to the left side of my abdomen and DHEA to the right. I let it dry (which takes about 5 minutes of walking around to be totally dry to the touch) and then used Dr. Teal's eucalyptus lotion on the area. About 10 minutes afterwards I notice a bit of a stimulating head rush. It didn't feel chemically induced, as if from a PWO. It instead felt like I had an abundance of my own energy and focus. This has me very excited about going back to work come Tuesday so I can see if it is making a different difference yet, or if it is still a little early.

When work makes you follow up your late night with an early morning. Turn the candle upside down and burn the other end.

I can see where more restful sleep would be very beneficial....I have to take Xanax/gabapentin before bed if I want restful sleep!!!

Xanax used to be my go-to sleep aid. I'm glad I got past that.


BTW, the only places I get the warming sensation are my hands and my junk. I've been rubbing the excess on what will one day be my Adonis belt, and work my way down, instead of my lower back as usual.

One note I've failed to mention is that wherever I apply EITHER of the products gets a nice, heavy pump.

While reading more on pregnenolone, I came across an article that said it binds to the sane receptors as cannabis, taking priority and inhibiting the psychoactive effects. This has not been my experience at all so far. If anything, it improves it, making me more relaxed yet more alert at the same time.

Maybe that interests you guys, maybe it doesn't.

Awesome! I'm only using lightly stimulated products right now, and was thinking "wow I've really been overdoing it" because 200mg of caffeine had me feeling the same as a heavy stim product. It never occurred to me that it was the P5!

Some people find pregnenolone improves energy, vision, memory, clarity of thinking, wellbeing, and often sexual enjoyment or libido. Pregnenolone may be considered a good brain enhancer in those who are deficient. Studies in rodents show pregnenolone to be one of the most effective and powerful memory boosters. Pregnenolone may increase levels of acetylcholine in the hippocampus and other memory regions in the brain.

PE_20180601_182350.jpg
week one has yielded a seriously good start. 2 pounds up. I'll try to get some pictures up tonight. Here's a few things I've noticed.

Lean mass gains.
Great mood.
Deep sleep.
Better focus.
Improved confidence.

I never would have guessed that I would be responding to the products so quickly and dramatically. One week seems like a crazy short time period for the payout so far.

It may also be diet changes but Ive noticed more volume when I "sow my seeds" so to speak.

Fridays are big days for me at work. Recently they have been highlighting my weaknesses, and this week I feel like I performed exceptionally well. If nothing else, I hope the performance boost at work continues.

Im very excited to see the effects after another week!

Good ol' tractor supply lol. I remember working for international paper several years ago. Almost died one too many times from others being careless.

Was in a minor wreck today, nothing big, but I'm going to the doc tomorrow to make damn sure I didn't compromise my old injury. So tonight, no lifting, just eating playing with my new pup.

x-rays were picture perfect. I'm not experiencing any pain, but I just wanted to be totally sure. I've over-estimated my wellness before with disastrous results, and have learned that "better safe than sorry" was first spoken by a very wise person. I notice that I seem to be leaning out, even though my diet is supporting weight gain??? I'm sticking very accurately to a surplus, but I think I may not be hydrating as much as I should considering the southern heat and increase in work... It's something I'm usually very good at, so I've never had to make a conscious effort to stick to it.
