Hyde’s EF 3Alpha Log

[Hyde]

Thank you to Enhanced Formulations for letting me review a couple bottles of their 3AD product, 3Alpha! Dehydroandrosterol allegedly converts to DHT at a rate of nearly 44%, so this should be substantially more potent than androsterone/epiandro at a much lower dosage.

Just finished a month of methyclostebol, 11KT, & 500mg epiandro, run alongside Var and a SARM stack. I will be continuing the Var for now at 50mg, adding a touch more SARMs, and bringing in the 3AD @ 75mg in lieu of epiandro.

I have used LGI Stano all the way up to 1,200mg and OL Super-Epi up to 1,250mg/day in stacks over the years, so it will be very interesting to see how Dehydroandrosterol stacks up at different dosages as far as energy, libido, mood, strength, hardening. Any questions, ask away!

 

[Hyde]

***FINAL REVIEW***

I used 2 bottles of 3Alpha over a 35 day period in my cycle, taking 75-100mg daily over 3 doses typically. This was part of a bigger oral cycle also incorporating SARMs and a methyl designer - no other “base” hormone to provide DHT was in the mix, so I was relying on 3AD for energy & libido. It did not disappoint.

In fact, it worked better than any other oral hormone I’ve used to date as a “test base”. DHEA, 4andro, Epiandro, Androsterone, Proviron all are inferior to my experience with 3AD. It even worked well when I only used it in 2 doses per day, although I still preferred 3 doses to split it up. It promoted good sexual function, although Proviron is stronger mg for mg in this regard they were similar (and this is legal). Energy was natural and calm, not so anxious like epiandro - the best way to describe it is smooth. I did experience a decided increase in acne on it.

When I discontinued 3AD, I lost several lbs of glycogen and looked less hard & full. I also had to add some Nolva in to keep up with the rest of my ongoing anabolic cycle - 3AD was a potent androgen and clearly had been competing with estrogen, helping prevent gyno.

PROS: Fullness, natural energy, libido, gyno inhibition/estrogen antagonism

CONS: Acne, likely to promote shedding in those very sensitive

VERDICT: Buy this stuff! The perfect oral stacker for anyone not pinning - this is the new go-to “test base”, hands down. This would be great under anything, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

Bodyweight ~214lbs

Currently focusing on recomposition and rebuilding my strength base at this leaner bodyweight. I was holding around 240lbs at the end of January for a strongman show, where I tore my bicep off during warmups. Since the reattachment, I focused on cutting fat while training legs 3x a week, and only just returned to upper body training the last 5 weeks.

Diet is typically 2,400-3,000 calories daily with ~170-270g protein, usually over 200.

Jesus Hyde. What happened between your last log and today?!? You look great bro! Bigger AND leaner than just last month.

I'm in, good base too bro. And damnit if I'm not gonna go into AE now for some underwear. Really digging your manties lol

 

[JulzRulz]

Sub'd, very interested in this!

 

[Hyde]

Welcome everyone & thank you!!

Your diet sounds exactly like my diet.

An average height guy basically can’t go wrong taking in around 200g protein, & calories are king. Meal timing and food sources vary based on hunger, training, life.

Which sarms are you using?

Been using 1 cap Aggressive Labz Slay, & 1 scoop of their Excalibur powder was just added as I dropped 11Kt & Mbol.

Varying amounts of S4, S23, Osta, LGD, Rad and some Hexadrone & GW for good measure. I don’t particularly trust the explicit dosing or even ingredient profile; just seeing what I can do on them.

dude you seriously look that good after your accident!!? faaawk!! this gonna be a good test for 3alpha~ thanks for doing this my friend.

My pleasure! I didn’t stop training, and did work seriously on dieting - you just have to focus on what you CAN do.

Jesus Hyde. What happened between your last log and today?!? You look great bro! Bigger AND leaner than just last month.

Thoughtful application of peds, tanning, couple hours of fasted cardio/wk, increased training frequency, focus on meal timing, optimal metabolic supplementation, and most importantly: effort!

I'm in, good base too bro. And damnit if I'm not gonna go into AE now for some underwear. Really digging your manties lol

Wife thought she’d dress me up a bit for our wedding last weekend

Glad to have you my man!

And on that note:

Yesterday was Day 1 of 3AD. Had a good energy in training and actually noticed real aggression (our beltsquat has needed a new cable for 2 months and I was entirely too pissy with the gym manager who can’t do anything but pass the word to ownership). Also noticed surges of horniness a couple hours after dosing all 3 times. Both effects quite pronounced.

Dosing 25mg 3x a day spaced fairly evenly thru waking hours.

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

Dude... That raw info. Plz tell it happens again today.

 

[Hyde]

For the $10 it would have cost me to eat out once, snagged a rotisserie chicken, instant flavored brown rice, steamer bag of peas from Kroger on my lunch break as fast as it would have taken me to go to the McDonald’s next door. 3 big wholesome microwave meals with zero prep - I love America

 

[dswole]

How long will you be running this ?

Probably about a month total, to feel out doses from 75-125mg.

Thank you. Noticed more libido yesterday as well. Going to keep watching, but it sure doesn’t shut your pecker off, I’ll tell you guys that.

Woke up just exhausted after about 6 hours of quality sleep - still not caught up from vacation. Decided to bust out the sample of Elixir that Enhanced Formulations sent me to see if it could cure what ails me:

ELIXIR REVIEW:

Blue Razz Lemonade flavor was good, not incredible but very palatable and did a great job covering the underlying ingredients. So decent in fact I was able to actually casually drink this with my pretraining meal - you will NOT have to chug this at all. Usually I just have to suck it up for DMHA products I’ve tried. Mixed well in 10oz water and no complaints.

Energy came on fast; I was a zombie prior and by time I was in the car 15 minutes later I was already getting amped. Good vibes, good ability to focus and keep working when I wanted to stop. Felt like I was able to bring higher than average intensity to my deadlift work, and while this was a lower volume session I kept getting painful pumps after about rep 12 of every set of hyper extensions.

This was good - anyone looking for a DMHA-based preWO that can deliver some good pumps, this is worth a try. There’s a discount code out right now too I believe.

 

[Hyde]

Nice review on Elixir, had been curious about that one. Planning to pick up a full tub?

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

curious as to why the box jumps? to warm up the legs a bit for deads?

 

[jswain34]

More to do with priming the CNS than warming up the actual leg musculature.

I may have to; with code AM40 it’s under $40 shipped for a quality DMHA pre. My stim tolerance is very high right now & honestly I expected to be disappointed, but Elixir delivered.

Bingo. 2-3 sets of 3-5 jumps is all you need, and they don’t actually need to be to a high box - you just need to jump as high as you can to get everything firing on all cylinders.

My wife was honest-to-God using a box twice as high as me and doing high pulls in between sets of jumps too

 

[Hyde]

Maybe it’s in my head but I feel like I am getting even more solid feeling. Everything seems so full with the carbs I’ve been eating more liberally this week. This stuff definitely does help libido and performance, without a doubt. Had to take 50mg at 8pm yesterday due to missing a dose for a family event and by 9pm had a legit boner. Then woke up this morning full mast and went after the lady for vengeance!

That's awesome bro! I have been sticking to 50mg daily (I usually respond to low-med dose on most meds) and feel great with low dose TRT in combo.

This 3-AD and Hexadrone may open.a new chapter for my cycles without having to worry about harsh organ sides that methyl yield. Less yo-yo, more steady progress..

Besides good confidence and strength, notice any mild warming or flushing

 

[jswain34]

Hmm. With your feedback so far...you know what im thinking, Hyde.

 

[mixedup]

I'm not familiar with 3ad what is it like

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

ingesting 75 mgs right before dick push ups? "it only takes one"

Idk, but I bet eating this and a viagra an hour before game time on an empty stomach probably would let a guy do dick push-ups

Too early to gauge performance really. So far, kinda feels like an epiandrosterone that lasts longer, comes on decidedly smoother, and boosts libido harder. If the energy from Epiandro was like a shot of caffeine, this would be more like Cardarine. You don’t feel it come and go, it’s just kinda energy hanging out in the background you can tap into if you need to bring some intensity to the situation at hand. This seems flat out better as far as actually using through the day as a cycle addition.

So far, Daddy likes the sauce!

The energy part sounds nice I just got a new fatburner and it's way too much

So far heading into 2nd week of 50mg 3-AD I would have to agree with you about the energy on tap and liking the sauce.. will upto 75mg heading into week 3 of lean beast program.

What do you guys think of 3ad's potential ad an oral test base for other cycles in place of epiandro or 4 andro? If it gives energy and libido it seems like it may be just the ticket?

Well, right now is very early to say, but - I think it’s better so far. I have had random wood twice today, so sexual function is definitely enhanced. I will go out on a limb and say the libido aspect is probably comparable mg for mg to proviron. I’ve used that at 50mg, and this at 75mg is stronger.
