Halotestin Only log

Day 24:
A small addendum: I have also taken 50-75mcg of T3 every day of this experiment and also the occasional DHT. Something which is particularly noteworthy is that halo potentiates the thermogenic effect of T3, the same dosage feels like taking twice as much.
So far the best thing about halo has been its cognitive effects. I’ve never been as ready, motivated and decisive in my life as I’ve been in these last few weeks, though this effect did take a week to properly build up.
On several occasions I have combined it with Eutropoflavin (4-DMA-7,8-DHF) to increase neuroplasticity and it has worked amazingly well. My overall output has increased far beyond anything that dexamphetamine or modafinil could do for me. -
Day 25:
I’ve been having painful gastrointestinal issues during the last two days, perhaps due to potentially impaired bile flow from the halo, bloods to confirm next week.
However this may also stem from my overconsumption of gluten over the last 4 days. Bread baking is one of the myriad new hobbies that I’ve taken up thanks to halo, and I’ve been trying many different baked goods and recipes, likely more than I could handle. One large carrot reliably ameliorates the upper abdominal pain.
Besides baking I also nearly had a fist fight with a family member yesterday.

@chudlord this is interesting
what does it do though? is it just oral testosterone??
-
@wester130 a 17-alpha methylated, 11-beta oxygenated and 9-alpha fluorinated form of testosterone. Claimed by some to the one of the most potent orals ever developed, also called “roid rage in a bottle”.
I’ve linked my twitter post if you want a detailed breakdown:

@chudlord but why are people claiming low side effects if roid rage is so common

Day 26:
The intestinal problems are still present but are much more manageable, dates, carrots and white button mushrooms are particularly helpful. I also made a carrot salad with oregano oil for added potency.
Additionally, today I took 5mg pinealon and 10mg epithalon upon waking. I also took 10,000 IUs vitamin D and 3000 IUs vitamin A which had a strong thermogenic effect within 30 minutes of ingestion. Potentially pointing to my thyroid dosage being bottlenecked.
Then as my pre-workout I took my usual 5mg of halo (making it 10mg in total for the day) and 10mg of oxandrolone.
A friend made a remark today that I look more neanderthaler-ish than usual.
-
Why do you take oxandrolone as an occasional preworkout?
I understand that there is an acute pump benefit and possibly CNS benefit too. However, AAS pharmacology benefits from sustained usage so aren't you just paying a liver + cholesterol tax (albeit the most moderate and dose dependent of all - as you know 10-30mg is not "high" by bodybuilding standards) for something that caffeine + tadalafil could do with far less negative consequences?
-
@hawk1 I unfortunately don’t have tadalafil on hand, and I like to see the differences in acute performance between halo only + halo and anavar. And I honestly think that the liver burden of 10mg of anavar less than once a week is negligible.
Interestingly, despite most anecdotes, anavar seems to have a much greater effect on acute strength than halo in my experience.
-
Day 27:
Nothing of note happened today, the intestinal issues have almost been solved and I took some vitamin D and A again today and experienced the same thermogenic effect.
-
@chudlord where did you get real oxandrolone? It seems to be impossible to obtain because the real versions are made in Iran (wow) and the fakes can pass lab tests because oxandrolone depends on a specific positioning in a side chain that is not easily testable nor manufacturable.
-
@engineer wholly vibe- and previous experience based. It’s possible that it’s not real oxandrolone, definitely not dianabol though.

Day 28, 29, 30:
I’ve been very busy recently and have been sleeping quite poorly, but that’s seems, at least thus far unrelated to the halo. The only major difference is that I’ve started to see a decline in appetite, the labs have been ordered so we’ll see if this is due to liver toxicity…
Part two of the article is almost finished, I’ll additionally expand on all the info in a (free) substack article.

@chudlord there's one thing i disagree with you about - the safest oral AAS, i think it is this
Oral Primobolan (Methenolone acetate)
Not 17α-alkylated (protected by 1-methylation). Low hepatotoxicity. Non-estrogenic, low androgenic activity. Produces slow, lean gains with few sides. Expensive and modest in results. Injectable form is even milder on the liver. Frequently ranked among the safest for health-conscious users. -
@chudlord you are not the first person to do a halo only cycle or do bloodwork on it (responding to your twitter post) and there are yt videos on it
it’s a common cycle on a facebook group ive seen -
@chudlord please, stop with the experiment. The only reason your body tolerated the halo for so long is due to the otherwise therapeutic substances you were consuming. The energy and focus you had were high adrenaline and cortisol, for a few days your body will manage, then the hangover will come. The intestal issues came due to the halo, arguing that is is unrelated is wrong.
The substance creates extreme liver toxicity. The intestal issues and decreased appetite is your body’s reaction to the inability to produce bile, which would digest food. You cannot break down meals, so it is protecting itself by lack of appetite for eating.
Before trying new substances, I would simply recommend asking AI or searching on ray peat wiki in the podcast archive section, if Peat or Haidut have not talked about it somewhere, more often than not, you will find some comment on it.
