Anabolic Trifecta
Hi-Tech

The Ultimate Supplement Stack?

I would like to extend a very special thanks to megasupplements for allowing me to run this trial for them.

http://www.megasupplements.net/en/2442/ana...ecta-stack.html

The Anabolic Trifecta is package of supplements sold in one set. It contains:
Anavar
Dianabol
Creatine Overload

I have created explanations for each one of the products that are part of this stack. They are contained in their own separate respective threads.

I will be running a log recording the results of the Anabolic Trifecta, that will last four weeks.
During this time I will be following a DC style method of training.
For information on DC, see below:

Random Thoughts:
Hi-Tech seems to be very repetitive with the ingredients it uses in its company’s line of products. One can find the same ingredients repeatedly being used in multiple products by Hi-Tech.
The main reason I can see for doing this is cost based. If a company finds an ingredient that it feels has promise and can be well advertised, then it will order it larger quantities to use in many products. This would definitely effect the cost of over head in production.

Additionally, two of the three products are named after illegal anabolic steroids. I generally tend to find this to be an unscrupulous business practice. In my opinion what makes this even worse is that there are no legal steroids such as Pheraplex, etc. contained in any products in the stack

If one follows the directions on all of the products that Anabolic Trifecta are comprised of, the individual will be consuming creatine four times daily.
Once the body is saturated with creatine, the rest is normally excreted as waste. In other words, it’s a waste of creatine and money.

Alterations to the Stack:
I will be taking pre-workout stimulants prior to my workouts. If and when I do so, I will indicate exactly what I take and when, so that my experiment can be duplicated in its exact form.

One major ingredient that I found to be missing from the Anabolic Trifecta was ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid). ALA has been shown to increase the absorption of creatine. I will be taking 100mgs of ALA with the Creatine Overload and my second daily dose of creatine.

The stack calls for the use of Creatine Overdrive twice daily; once in the morning or pre-workout and once later in the day. I will be taking Creatine Overdrive once daily, either in the morning with breakfast or 45 minutes pre-workout. My second dose of creatine will be creatine ethyl ester (CEE). It will be taken post-workout with my shake, or later that night with food on non-training days

Day 1:
I woke up and took three caps of the Anavar on an empty stomach. Then about an hour later I took my first cap of Dianabol with my breakfast.
About 20 minutes after finishing breakfast, which was about 45 minutes prior to me starting my workout, I took the Creatine Overload.
I took the Creatine Overload with Green Tea Extract, chocamine and Stim’d Out by Generic Labz.

Today was my legs and biceps workout. My first exercise was squats, this was followed by stiff leg dead lifts. The pump that was generated in my lower back was unbearable. It was as bad as anything I could recall from any product, that was illicit or not.
I was able to finish doing squats without much trouble. While doing stiff leg dead lifts, I had to take extended breaks in between sets. After completing my last set of stiff leg dead lifts, I was in enough pain that I had to temporarily pause my workout before starting my third exercises, barbell curls.

The tri-fecta is definately effecting my adrenal gland. I am always getting these hot flashes, suddenly breaking out in sweats and am feeling very edgy the last couple of days. Furthermore, my blood pressure is elevated.
It is not a pleasant feeling. I'm hoping it will subside.

I took yesterday off from the trifecta. My stomach has been getting worse and worse. I need to give it some time with just chicken, gatorade, applesauce, just simple stuff.
I will probably head back to the gym today.

Today, I did legs and biceps. I had an ok workout.
One awful downside to the workout is that I pulled my groin doing leg presses.
I used Dymatize Xpand
http://www.megasupplements.net/en/635/ener...-lbs-820-g.html
My review of Xpand:
http://www.worldclassbodybuilding.com/foru...pand-41391.html
I find this to be a fairly complete and therefore useful pre-workout supplement. Despite taking the Xpand, I was not able to attain the energy I had been during previous workouts.
My body is currently in a very catabolic state. If I manage to keep all the gains I have gained during the up coming four weeks, I will consider this trial run fairly successful.
Today I did not take the Creatine Overload. I took the Xpand, which contains its own creatine blend. Therefore it was not necessary to add more creatine to the mix. I added MCC (magnesium creatine chelate) to my post-workout shake as usual. I added 100mgs of ALA to both pre and post workout mixtures.
My stomach is much better today. I have not had any negative reactions to my first dose of Anavar or Dianabol after taking two days off.

July15th, 2008
I altered my routine today. I went from DC style training to a volume routine. Prior to my workout I took Stim’d Out and geranium extract.
I can still feel that my body is in a catabolic state. However, despite this, I am not losting much of my strength gains. I still had to make the switch from DC to volume training because I could not maintain that high of an intensity any longer. My workouts are still not as intense as they were but that is to be expected.
I also still become agitated sometimes after taking the Dianabol/ Anavar combination. I feel agitated in an unpleasant aggressive manner. The feelings of aggression are less frequent, in recent days.
I have also added Hi-Tech Estrogenex to my stack as this was recommended by Hi-Tech.
http://www.megasupplements.net/en/2445/est...90-tablets.html

I took today and the day before off from all supplements, due to stomach problems. I did not even take a multi or anything. I will resume normal supplementation and gym activities tomorow.

I switched from a DC style routine back to a very basic volume routine. I did chest for my last workout and I did back today. For back I did:
Lat. Pull downs
Dead lifts
Barbell Rows
Incline Bench D.B. rows
Narrow grip lat. Pull downs
I had a pretty good workout. I took Dymatize Xpand ( http://www.dymatize.com/allproducts.html) and five tetra (http://www.megasupplements.net/en/711/five-tetra-size-120-tablets.html) prior to my workout.
I changed my workout routine because I felt I was in too catabolic of a state to do the workouts required by DC. Despite being in the state I am in, I have not lost any strength. I feel this is due to the fact that I am maintaining a high protein / high calorie diet, lifting heavy but not overly intensely, taking 25 mgs of nolvadex per day, and the creatine that is included in the trifecta.

July 22nd, 2008.

I have been taking the Trifecta in a slightly different mannerism then it is prescribed. I take two pills of the Anavar three times daily instead of three pills twice daily.
This is a very harsh group of compounds. It is definitely irritating my stomach and reducing my appetite. Additonally, as mentioned before it definitely effects the adrenal gland. Approximately 30-60 minutes after ingesting the Anavar/Dianabol combination I always feel what I can best describe as feeling of being slightly speeded up and agitated. Its like someone is revving the engine but the car is stuck in neutral.

Otherwise, I had a great workout today. My energy in the gym was much better than it has been recently. I would say the pre-workout stack I took is partially responsible for this. I took:
Five-Tetra 4 caps
Geranium Extract 60mg
Green Tea Extract 1000 mg
Chocamine 200mg
1 large cup of coffee
The use of some cannabis

I took all the supplements approximately 40minutes prior to my workout. On my drive to the gym I noticed that I was more inebriated than I would usually have been. I am an experienced supplement and cannabis user. However, this time the stack hit me hard. I was feeling a little too good. On the positive side, I was very focused and driven.
I did my legs and biceps today in the gym. I used a fairly simple volume routine. I did:
Squats
Leg Press
Stiff Leg Dead Lifts
Laying Leg Curls
Barbell Curls
Seated Dumb Bell Curls
Seated Calf Raise
Standing Calf Raise

I was sweating like a whore in church while working out and I was dehydrating fast. I consumed 75 ounces of water during my 80-minute workout.

On a positive note, despite coming off cycle and being in PCT, I have not lost any weight. However, I am looking more toned than I had been a few weeks ago. The one side effect I am still having from coming off a cycle is lethargy in the gym and a lack of motivation getting to the gym.

I have been feeling absolutely awful from this stack. Every time I take a couple of days off from taking it, I automatically start feeling better.
I am no longer taking the dianabol. I feel there is far too much of the same ingredients when you combine both the Anavar and Dianabol.
I was suffering from my adrenal glands being extremely overstimulated. I was constantly feeling on edge. If I were full dosing the trifecta for a few days, I would start getting the doom and gloom feeling I typically associate with tren usage.
Additionally, that stack was irritating my stomach. I was suffering my stomach pains frequently and my appetite was diminished.
I have been running the Anavar only for a few days. I feel the side effects have become less intense from using less of the same active ingredients that appear in both bottles.
Additionally, this stack is not doing a fantastic job at helping me maintain strength. My strength is decreasing slightly and I am starting to lose some of my gains. I can’t wait to get back on something more potent and efficient.

Have you been running the preworkout stack before you introduced the androgens? It seems like a lot of stims.

The var and the dbol is a name for some suppliments rather than the AAS yes? This is quite confusing.

J

1) yes, I had used all these pre-workout stims prior to my venture with this.
2) yes, hi-tech used unscrupulous bussiness practices by naming their products after illegal substances. I think this is a disgusting practice. I would not be running this log if it werent sponsored.

I must admit that glancing over the ingredients of Anabolic Trifecta, there seems to be a lot of them. I think it would be quite tricky to disentangle the various interactions, especially with your preworkout stim stack. It may be interesting to see if there is a similar effect without the stim stack.

Anyhow it is interesting none the less.

Thanks,

J

I made a seperate thread containing research on the ingredients for each product in the trifecta.
I do not know if they may interact or not.
However, when I was taking the full trifecta without any stimulants, I still felt awful.
The stims actually made it a little better.

I will have a look for that thread.

Thanks,

J
