I hear good things, so also grabbed Hi-Tech Turkesterone 650 to go with some other non-methyl PH options, like 25R-spirostan "super laxogen" (Hi-Tech Winstrol) and 17a-andro from LG Sciences a long with other Andros to space out the hardcore stuff.

Have you ran Turkesterone?

Nope not yet, been seeing a lot about it so I’m curious, if there’s good feedback on it, I’ll probably run it in the near future

Gotta love this thread, anytime I feel bad about over orders, mistakes - well this place let's me know... I'm not alone!

Anyway some new non-methyl options on the deck here from Hi-Tech and Interesting to see Enhanced Labs (yes them) with a high dose 3-AD product, just to compare with my EF 3-AD.

Let us know how the 3-AD treats you

So far so good, just day 4 with EF 3-AD and Brawn Hexadrone. In terms of pump, and work-capacity seems to shine pretty well.
I had some moderate experience with Hexadrone (6-chloro-androst-4-ene-3-one-17b-ol ) brief couple runs before, so I'm familiar with that energy /strength it can provide onto a cycle. And seems 3AD (Androst-5-ene-3a,17b-diol) could work well with it had pretty sick whole upper body pump (even biceps on chest/tri's day) and end of workout work capacity seems to be improving a lot. If this keeps repeating, that's a win. Hungry as heck also. Joints feel good, not dry.

Caveat - I'm am now on 100mg -150mg TRT for good now and the Hex + 3-AD I'm simply taking 2x caps each per day (split dose morning, afternoon). About TRT base.. so my early cycles 2015-2018 here (first time really getting into this type of lifting) were lacking a test base, my knowledge of cycle support and bloodwork is also better now.. So basically my T-levels were getting lower and I'm ~42 now, so I was getting lethargy toward end of PH cycles and my T-level 'recovery' from PCT after a few years just wasn't happening.. so TRT club it is now.

Anyway - it's early on in the Hex + 3-AD cycle - running log is here - Invalid Link Removed. I used to post sorta 'discrete experiment' cycles 2015-2017, but now am just looking for slow, longer-term TRT based simple cycles and some strength/flexibility/quality of muscle. Finally have a good enough home gym (Tonal + Selecttech based) to skip the Planet Fitness drive. The 'eccentric' and 'smart flex' modes are priceless for pump on Tonal - instant form coaching.

I just got back into lifting after being out for 3-years - I just did a 4-week LGI Mechabol warmup (4-chloro-17α-methyl-androst-4-en-17β-ol-3-one) which really helped get me lifting and 'eases initial recovery when restarting from nothin' - get blood work soon Thursday - but that one is interesting, not sure if it's the 4-chloro group - somehow it doesn't affect my liver enzymes nearly as much as other methyl PH, I used to run 2015-2017. Pee stays clear even though 50mg-75mg daily makes one feel good, want to workout. Love that classic PH. More on this after bloodwork Thursday (over on the log, not here).

Anyway - so far so good on Hex + 3-AD, probably should 'run isolated' 3AD and not be taking Black Market Adrenolyn pre-workout either (I'm sure that also helps a bunch with pump. energy too). Since it's all unsponsored, not totally run like a controlled cycle for isolated review.

Also - @Hyde already has a solid 3-Ad review here - Invalid Link Removed

Interesting thanks for the longevity knowledge drop - Invalid Link Removed.

We should have a "smart/modern cycling" thread written by the experience folks on the board and including current organ preservation, restoration knowledge.

I just ordered some more Helios 100 ! I love theses sales !!
 
That Peanut Butter Cheesecake sounds pretty darn good !!
 
So, psychotic gold mini review. Took a little under a scoop. Good energy, strength and mood boost. No alpha yo sides whatsoever. Mild beta alanine tingles. Flavor - F*CK YOUR FLAVORS lol tasted like blue punch, idk. Mild pumps.

all around a clean pre workout, but I was expecting it to be a bit stronger. No crazy euphoria or focus. Slight euphoria , but that could be due to the fact I haven’t used a pre in months.

the strength boost was actually most apparent which was nice.

i haven’t used creatine for years. so, i guess i’m out of the loop because the stuff was always dirt cheap.

CREATINE MONOHYDRATE: Availability continues to be a disaster. Supply is extremely tight and shows no sign of improving in the near future. Factories are still producing very little material and are not honoring their contracts so may brands are subsequently finding CMOs cancelling their commitments, delaying shipment and increasing prices. Creatine is currently 3-4 times higher in cost than it was 6 months ago but even if you are willing to pay the price, good luck finding it.

Yogan and Baosui are rationing their outputs to the entire market while Taiking is fully booked through the end of October. The cause continues to be a shortage of the raw materials needed to manufacture creatine. Yongan, one of the main manufacturers of creatine, controls the supply of HAN (hydroxy acetonitrile). HAN is produced from natural gas which creates excessive pollution so the Chinese Government has demanded a reduction in the manufacture of it. Hengkang controls cyanimide also needed for the production of creatine. Calcium carbide used to manufacture cyanimide is in short supply because it too is a heavy pollutant and utilizes extensive amounts of energy, so China has reduced its production as well. To worsen matters, calcium carbide is a key component used in the manufacture of PVC. PVC production is at an all-time high which further tightens the supply of calcium carbide.

Solution nailed it, i think it will get worse and worst .. stock up on protein/creatine or any of your supplements that you like because you never know.
 
Maybe the doomsday people were right ???

Yup. I posted this update 2 weeks ago on Facebook:

well...it's that time again. I was enjoying the past couple of months, sort of the calm before the storm with no major craziness with regards to further supply chain problems and pricing..just the usual headaches...... But that was short lived lol. .

I usually get to see Mark Glazier with his awesome industry updates, but I've been getting updates lately as to the next phase of this crap and to do what needs to be done to stay on top of it. What is this supply chain issue #37? Lol.

Another wave of shortages:

China faces another major outbreak of Omicron and COVID. The government has already enforced lockdowns. ***This will impact availability and delay lead times***

Invalid Link Removed

Gas and coal are the 2 of the 4 main Petro components used for the manufacturing process of raw materials. This will impact raw materials prices because production costs will Increase big time.

Soon creatine will be $50/kg. Kidding, not kidding, lol. And protein? 5lb tub retail $200? Lol...wait and see....

Get your PO's in asap and stock up to ride the wave before the next round. I know Mark Glazier is way ahead of most in that regard. ( I think hes the reason for the highly branched cyclic dextrin "shortage" lol)

I just spent a literal small fortune to have a cushion with regards to having plenty of inventory to ride this title wave for the next 6 months. fun times.

I'm more excited for the Turkesterone perhaps as my new creatine. I do Love me some good C-HCL, or the ol'mono too - but I've decided to eliminate all things processed through my kidneys after 2018 (if you've ever seen your liver and kidney values in the 1000's zone via RC_benzo-seizure.. took time to get organs back to healthy). My liver can regen and bloodwork twice now is good to go with the Mecha type PH and TUDCA+cycle support+better hydration (less harsh methyls run just couple times a year), but that means no Anadrol nor Creatine really or things hard on kidneys going forward perhaps..

@Hyde posted by bloods today, from last week on my log - take a look - I mean my Creatinine should be a little elevated from working out right? and eGFR level look OK. Most other markers look fine... I have one bottle of C-HCl sitting here, guess I could run some take bloodwork and know.. EDIT - thankfully wrong the BB.com "signature mass" high-protein/carb mix I used for calorie supps DOES NOT HAVE creatine anyway (so it's NOT in my diet).

Spekaing of kidney vs. liver regeneration - anyone here try Cordyceps Militaris vs. Cordyceps Senesis (purified, standardized) for kidney regen? I see some research that both can help blood sugar, but the C.Miliaris is better for restoring kidney levels, function?

Yeah you always want to take several days off training before a CMP if you don’t want to risk hard training affecting the kidney and liver enzyme numbers.

most people do cordicepts m as that is the one mainly for physical performance. MST cordygen is a great cordycepts product which contains both M and S though. no clue on its ability for kidney regeneration tho
