Good day Swole Source members.

It's been a long time since I've run a log, but thanks to the generosity of Wesley Inman and IML, I'm going to run a 45-day log of my experiences with R-Andro RX. Most of you here are familiar with what R-Andro is (5-alpha reduced DHEA isomer, aka Androsterone). It is my intention to compare this product to the other epiandrosterone/stano products I've tried in the past.

Past use of these compounds has included:

1. Andro Hard v1 Liqua Vade by Primordial Performance
2. Ultra Stano by Antaeus Labs
3. Alpha Stano and Stano TD by Alpha Gainz.

I will be running 300mgs ED for 40 days. I was considering going 400 per day split into two doses, but I'm a firm believer that longer duration use is better than a quick blast every time. I received my supply on Saturday and began taking it the next day. While it is still too early to see benefits in training, thus far I have noticed a couple things:

1. Heartburn-type sensation within 15 minutes of dosing two capsules. I attribute this to the piperine or the grapefruit used to assist the product's delivery.
2. An odd headrush on day one
3. A headache on day two.
4. Intense morning erection on day 3.

It is very common for me to get a headache when first taking a DHT precursor. That tells me the product is legit. I do not recall the heartburn-type sensation before, even when I took IML's Epi Andro RX, but it really isn't a big deal because it subsides quickly.

I typically train 5 to 6 days a week, depending on how much time I have. I have not been chasing "big" or "bulky" for the past year or so. I have been experimenting with staying cut and ripped. Included in this log is a current picture of my body composition.

I do no conventional cardio. I prefer to use functional fitness drills and HIIT for my cardio training.

Looking to see how this product affects how I feel and how I look. Please don't be afraid to follow. 1453

Great start to the log!!!

And yes I always get heartburn on these products if I take on an empty stomach. With food, never.

I do believe you are right. The piperine is the likely culprit.

Good luck with this run!!!

Last night I had somewhat of a restless night's sleep. This is consistent with what I experienced last year when running Ultra Stano at 4 caps per day. For whatever reason, DHT precursors take a toll on my deep sleep at first. But the interesting tradeoff is that you don't wake groggy. I woke up at 5:20 this morning and after a couple of minutes of being awake felt ready to go.

That tells me this stuff's legit, and definitely potent.

No headache today, which is a good thing. I took my dose last evening with food and didn't notice as much of the heartburn-type sensation that I had reported before. It was there, but feint.

I worked out legs this morning and had a feeling of added stability and enhanced balance, both of which contributed to a workout where I pushed myself harder. I have deviated quite a bit in my leg routine from the old days of powerlifting with conventional back squats and such. I do a lot of Romanian single-leg squats (balance lunges, whatever you want to call them) with dumbbells, tipped front dumbbell squats, Sumo-style squats with heavy kettle bells. step ups with heavy dumbbells, stiff legged dead lifts, weighted wall squats, etc.

Today I felt very strong and stable. Maybe some CNS stimulation is a contributing factor there?

I wasn't breaking PRs, but it was by far more comfortable and I was far more enthusiastic today.

Libido remains strong. Had post-workout cardio sessions with the wife twice last night, and that was after a morning session as well. So far, so good.

On lunch break from work. Figure it's a good time for an update.

Wesley and I do a lot of talking among ourselves through PM and both of us seem to find commonalities in our responses to this compound. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this is clearly a different experience than other DHT pros I've tried. This is very much a surprise in terms of how quickly effects are being noticed.

Appetite is disgustingly high right now. I can't seem to stay full. Sex drive is not impaired in the slightest, energy is good and I'm not irritable.

Perhaps the coolest thing is that the drying effects are already being realized. Take a look at my first post's photograph and then look at todays. I have more visible abs and the fibers in my deltoids are much more pronounced. I am doing arms tonight, so I can't wait to see how enhanced the pump is.

Last week brought about a few good things. I saw my massage therapist and had some intensive deep tissue work done to my shoulder. Hurt like hell, but by Friday I was back to pressing heavy again. I haven't been able to do this for months due to the pain, which I was afraid might have been a bad rotator cuff. Fortunately it wasn't.

This compound is delivering. Here's what I'm noticing so far:

1. Increase in energy and mental clarity
2. Increase in pump
3. Libido is maybe the highest it's ever been in my adult life. Able to perform 4-6 times per day and good to go for the next morning.
4. Appetite is raging.
5. Acne seems to be flaring up
6. Lifts are strong

I really cannot say enough good things about this compound.

Hey folks,

Apologies for the delay in updating.

Continuing to take the R-Andro at 3 capsules per day. Positives continue, however, I have observed a few things which may be potential negatives. I say potential because I cannot attribute the negatives to the R-Andro with certainty.

First, the positives:

-Body composition remains lean, shredded and hard, despite a few days of shit food here and there brought about by appetite stimulation.
-Workouts remain strong and I'm enjoying the positives of CNS stimulation, leading to a feeling of overall great stability
-Sexual function and libido remain great. No complaints
-Vascularity is definitely enhanced, even in non-pumped state.

Now, the negatives:

This week I have developed the onset of general lethargy. I can best describe it as mild to moderate. It's been difficult to wake up in the morning and make it out of bed for morning workouts. I've been pounding double-strength cups of instant coffee in the morning to get moving. I do OK until the afternoon, and then I need more to keep me going.

PM workouts, however, are not negatively affected by the lethargy. I have been falling asleep earlier in the evenings, though, and not waking up feeling fully rested. I could be fighting something off, too. I don't know. That's my typical bodily response to my immune system working on something. It's going to take more time to gauge exactly what the hell's going on.

Joint pain has also been a sudden problem. But that's also a sign that this product is working as intended. I've had some achy wrists as of late. It's nothing debilitating and a little ibuprofen fixes it, but it's there and wasn't before.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Ditto on the wrists. It's painful for me to put my hands next to me on a flat surface such as the arm rests of a chair and push myself up. No lethargy though.

Let's start with this:

1455

And that came after a few days of upping the dose to 400mg a day, and in the morning AFTER a cheat day which consisted of Hardee's, a deep dish pizza, two 20-ounce sodas and donuts.

The lethargy I was feeling before is gone. Chances are it was a bug I was fighting off. The only negative I can note right now is that my wrists are dry and sore. Other than that, this is one of the most excellent recomp products out there.

Clearly, as you can see, this stuff is bunk and doesn't work :p

KIDDING, KIDDING, KIDDING!

I killed the last of my supply after upping it to 400mg per day. I am missing it already. I took the last dose on Friday.

This was a smooth ride with only some joint discomfort being a side effect overall. I could go on and on about the positives of this product. I'll defer to my earlier post. All the positives just kept getting better.

Although the price of this product is high, so is its target hormone counterpart. So, essentially, you can have all the benefits of Masteron in a 100% LEGAL and federally-compliant manner. This is by far the best DHT pro I've ever tried.

9.5 out of 10 stars

Liftmode tribulus
Bioperine
Liquid Boron

I also take Creatine HCl.

I eat strict keto Monday through Saturday. I replenish carbs on Sunday because it's my cheat day. And no, it doesn't cost me lean mass, strength or stamina. I stay lean and vascular. My digestion is also the best it's been in years.

My wife and I are both keto lifestyle and love it.

So you're basically doing a version of Carbnite. How was the adjustment to eating this way? I've been doing backloading for the longest time but think maybe I want to get a little leaner. This may fit the bill.

I did carbnite for a bit. I'm considering going back to it with really strict macros. I didn't actually lose any weight because I wasn't counting my macros but I leaned out a fair bit and gained muscle. The actual process of carb night is fascinating though, I don't know if back loading is the same but by the end of the refeed my body was literally radiating heat, I'd go to bed feeling a little sick (and farting something chronic. Give the missus a heads up) and wake up feeling lean, tight and - hard -. Like dht cycle level hardness, which slowly went away as I depleted again.

Holy shit fpr. Thats a sick physique! You should be proud as hell man. Tell me more about liquid boron and royal jelly? I used to take 3mg boron a day and considering going back to it and I know little to nothing about royal jelly. Apart from bioperine and cordyceps I use all of those herbs, I also use prolactrone for my mucuna and he shou wu.

Yep! And for me, the adjustment wasn't a big deal at all. I'm stubborn as hell. When I want something, I put my mind to it and make it happen. The one thing I had to do, though, was make sure the fat intake was high enough to keep me full. Heavy whipping cream here and there to even out low-fat meals was one of my hidden little secrets.

Like Entropy said, I will do my carb night and may end up gassy, or wind up shitting water once because what I'm eating through the week is mostly all home prepared and I'm putting some junk in my body on Sunday, but I always wake up super lean and super dry the next day. I can't explain it. It's almost like it's some little trick to fool your body to keep your metabolism on its toes.

I know a lot of people will dismiss that theory, but I don't discount it given my own experience.

And thank you, Entropy, for the compliment. Alternating resistance days with HIIT cardio days currently and leaning out more than ever. I actually got out the P90x Plus bonus disc set that came with my P90x a few years ago that I was never in good enough shape to do. Been rocking through a lot of the workouts and loving it.

Needed a break from the commercial gym for a while and I'm going to spend the next few weeks doing this for maximum cut. Plus with summer coming, the added endurance is nice for when I do outdoor shows with my AC/DC tribute. Playing Angus Young in a 2-hour show is the most physically demanding cardio workout I've ever done, especially considering you wear a suit coat and hat for most of it.

Doing it in the outdoor summer heat is a real killer too.

As for my Boron therapy, Entropy, it's a total test/free test and DHT booster. I bought the Trace Minerals Liquid Boron and I take 1.25 MLs every morning after breakfast.

And Royal Jelly actually contains trace amounts of testosterone and other hormonal goodies, in addition amino acids and minerals. Rat studies have shown it may even help to preserve natural T levels during light hormonal cycles. Good, cheap insurance.

Interesting input. I've been doing my own version of carbnite (twice a week) for over 3 years now. It was extremely effective in the earlier years for some reason. I believe somewhere down the road I have lost that ''little trick'', maybe sleep patterns, or certain supplements of specific meals that I consume. Maybe I should make changes

Have you purchased your liftmode tribulus recently? I'm 6 and a half weeks in on my R-andro run and I'm starting to get my herb rotation in order. I'd like to add in tribulus from liftmode but cannot seem to find it on line anywhere.

Also is this where you got your creatine HCI from?

Creatine HCl - Kaged Muscle (http://www.kagedmuscle.com/creatine-hcl/?gclid=CJOb98iB4MsCFQZZhgodXsAE9Q)

R-Andro is the real deal. I have seen some pretty decent gains on if with zero side effects. Makes me feel great as well...

I haven't bought any Liftmode Trib for quite a while. I bought two containers the last time I did and because of my cycle rotation, it lasts me forever. In the absence of Liftmode, I would suggest going to totalnutritionrx.com and buying Tribulus Forte. I actually believe it's superior to Liftmode in that it's Bulgarian tribulus and has the highest protodioscin content out there.

The owner sent me a complimentary bottle. Awesome stuff. I will switch over once my Liftmode is gone.
