Wesley VS Alpha gainz TD Stano

[wesleyinman]

Thanks to So Cal Nutrition and Nostrum for providing me the chance to try this product out. Alpha Gainz Transdermal Stano.





Dosage is 100mgs per mL. Product is blended in Salvo by Iron Legion which I am a big fan of and have used dozens of times in my past. It has a pleasant scent and the Salvo always blends well for me. I apply to shoulders, and lower abs.







Will be starting this log this week at some point. I just donated blood Friday, pulse is 66, BP is hovering right around stable at 130/85.. So I am in a good spot to run a higher dosage log.



Gonna aim to do 3-500mgs of TD stano ED on workout days. Gonna aim for 2-300mgs of TD stano ED on NON Workout Days. In multiple dosages and on workout days I will probably apply at least 200mgs 1 hour prior.

Will be able to post maybe 2-3x per week, and will do my best to answer any product questions in those time frames.


I will be comparing the effects of this to other oral Epiandro products. I have tried well over a dozen products so I am very familiar with epiandro and it's effects. I have run my own TD version in the past as well so I want to see how this compares to other versions.


Training wise I have been training for explosive strength, etc. I'm sitting at around 208-210 on any given day right now. I may do a bit of body recomp with this product. Will do my best to get either a before or after photo and throw in some videos if time permits.


Most recently I hit a PR at 208lbs on Incline Bench Press. Hit it for 16 reps and just missed a 17th.

As with all my logs i will be commenting on the following midway through and at the end of this 30 day run. Thanks for following everyone.

Actually got started Sunday. Only did 200mgs about 1 hour prior to workout. Took a hot shower, dried off well, waited about 5 minutes, and applied 2mL of the TD stano. Your skin will literally drink this stuff up this way. It absorbs very well. I don't like to put a shirt on right away, I feel like it sticks to the skin, so I let it dry for about 5-10mins with no shirt on. This seems to work well for me.

Anyways, only had about 30mins to train since it was Mothers Day.

Took my PWO- Ultimate Orange Juiced and headed to the gym

Decided to go super light, explosive leg workout. Pause reps too. So on each rep, I am going to take a deep breathe. Lower as low as I can..way below ATG. Then while exhaling all my air, exploding up with the weight..lowering the weight again, explode up..repeat.
On leg press same form. Lower weight. Hold it, explode up. Entire workout including calves in this format.


DAY 1-

Hack Squats
BWx 20
50lbs x20
90x20
90x20

Leg Press
2plates per side x20
3x20
4x20

Seated Calf Raises (pause at the top 5 seconds, pause the bottom 5 seconds)
2 platesx20
4x20
6x20 (this was actually heavy)


And that was it..stretched called it a day.

Did not feel any anger on the 200mgs dosage. One thing I can and will say is that with many epiandro versions at 400+mgs ED I get very moody and irritable. Slight anger. So I will be watching for that.

Woke up today and my legs are already very sore. Go figure. Unreal how even lightweights can affect you if you train them in an explosive manner. Calves not sore yet.

Heading to the gym today as well. Dosed 200mgs so far and will do 200mgs more prior to workout.

Nice job log man. What is this product designed to do? What is it exactly?

Nice job log man. What is this product designed to do? What is it exactly?

Hey Turbo- Epiandro converts to DHT. Think a legal alternative to DHT such as Masteron or Var. This product is great for muscle hardening,strength, libido, etc..Transdermal being stronger then oral. Epiandro and Randro are my favorite orals even over AAS. They are expensive, but they are amazing legal alternatives that act just as well, if not better then traditional AAS or PH's. You do have to dose them high though to get true benefit.

Day 2

Was able to get 300mgs in today previous to my workout. The one thing about TD is that it can be a tiny bit more time consuming then traditional orals. I was super busy today so the 300mgs is the most I can get it..It is night time and I don't like to dose products at night, I like to follow the bodies natural progression, hormone increases earlier in the day and decreases at night.

Anyways, not much to report so far. I'm excited for this to kick in...I am a huge epiandro fan. Love the libido, strength and hardening effects.

Today I literally had 35 mins to train. So I had to make this workout count.


Shoulders, Back, Traps

Warmup:

Seated Rows:
50lbs x 30 reps
80x30
100x30 all slow controlled and squeezed on each rep

Tricep Pushdowns
50lbs x30
80x30
120x30

Bicep Hammer warmups
25x30
x30

Started normal workout...

Super Wide Grip Military Barbell
135x10
135x10
135x10
135x10

Not trying to go heavy on these, just super slow and controlled. Also I was sitting completely parallel which I hate. I have had several shoulder injuries including torn labrum and 2 rotators, PT, the whole 9 yards, so I dont believe in doing these heavy at all. I always sit the seat back 1-2 clicks and have a very slight angle on EVERY shoulder workout. Mind you shoulders are my strongest bodypart, so doing 150-170lb dumbells is not out of the question with the slight angle. With the 90 degree seat I will never go heavy again. Lesson learned.

Standing Strict Press (Barbell)
135x10 speed reps
225x6
2265x6
225x6

Not working to failure, just hitting explosive work on these. My PR at this BW is 225 x12 at around 210lbs.

Here is old video to show the form I use

One motion Powercleans
135x20
x20

225x10
225x10

Played around with some one armed Powersnatches. These felt heavy today, I have not done these in awhile.

This is old footage Poundstone recorded of me years ago during our Strongman training. At my best I was hitting this with straps for reps of 20

Wesley Inman Shrugs
45x20
45x20
45x20

Ran out of time and called it a day. Light workout. Didn't have the time or intensity to apply myself, but I lifted and def worked my muscles a little bit. I find epiandro responds very well to explosive motions, so even lightweights is going to work well on this product.

Hoping to have time to train 2morrow and will log in-

Day 5

Worked out 1x since posting this and heading back in today.

So far, still too new to comment on any results or effects.

I do get a really warm feeling in my body after administering 200mgs. And I do feel like my appetite kicks in about an hour later I am hungry.

Working out is going fine, training, still staying light and higher reps

Arm Day- Biceps and Triceps

Cable Pushdowns
50x30
60x30
70x30
80x30

Supinated Dumbell Curls (weights listed per hand)
20x20
25x20
30x20
40x20
75x5

Dumbell Kickbacks
15x20
20x20
25x20

Inman Curls (will post a video later with this method- it is an isolation method I came up with)
30x20
30x20
30x20

Ran out of time. Not a bad workout for the 40 minutes I had. Again stayed light on purpose, and went high reps.

Going to do a leg day next I think. Either squats or deadlifts. Really wanna focus on primarily lighter weights and explosive motions this entire log.

Will update again shortly.

Day 9

Update- My apologies for the delay. Been beyond busy. Still have been training and taking the product.

After a week what can I say I notice on it so far?

I would say that the 300mgs is a bit low for me. I have bumped up to 400 on off days and 500 on workout days. I am feeling really good on this dosage. I'd say about an hour after I apply 200+mgs I feel really warm. That is noticeable. I also notice that my appetite is increased since starting this product. Libido is up a bit and I am starting to see a few more lines then I have in awhile, particularly in my shoulders and arms.

So far so good!!

Workouts (not gonna post all of them, but here was my deadlift day this week)

I have not deadlifted but maybe 2-3x in the last few months. Lower back was bothering me for awhile, and since this is not one of my favorite exercises I often neglect it. And it shows in my numbers. I'd say overall I am down about 100lbs on strength on this lift right now.

Leg Extensions
50x20
75x20
90x20

Deadifts-
135x10
225x10
315x10
405x10
500x10
585x1
585x1
585x1

585 went up pretty simple but it felt way heavier then it has in the past. LOL. Might try and do these a bit more..def feel it in the abs and hams.

Seated Calf Raises (slow and controlled, pause at the top and bottom of the motion)
2plates x20
3x20
4x10
6x10

Called it a day. Also to mention I have been getting some questions about "Inman" curls which is a technique I came up with a decade or more ago.

These give an awesome pump and can def elicit some new growth if you are stagnant. If you want to try these, stay light, work your way up, reps of 20, lower the weight slowly, squeeze the biceps on the way up. 4 sets reps of 20- Thanks again to everyone who is following!!

Day 11

Using the 500mgs ED, I feel alot better on this dosage. I really feel good, libido is up at this dosage as well. What I will say, is applying that much is kind of a pain since I am doing it multiple times per day, but this is the case with any transdermal. It's not as convenient as an oral, but we know they are absorbed better, so it's well worth it.

Anyways,

Did 2 new workouts, will only list the Chest/Back day.

Incline Bench Press (pause 3 seconds on the bottom of each rep)
135x20
225x10 pause reps
315x10
135x20

**Old video footage showing the 315 incline Pauses**

Seated Cable Rows
75x20
150x10
300 (rack)x10

135x20 elevator reps

Form is as shown in this video I made for Raw Dynamix. My apologies for the ads in these videos, but these videos actually belong to RD.

Seated Pulldown Variation (for back)
100x10
200x10
250x10

Ran out of time. Stretched and called it a day.

Defintely seeing more lines in my abs and obliques and I have done no specific ab workout at all..haven't changed diet much. This is exactly why I love epiandro and Randro. Stuff is magical when you are at lower bodyfat.

 

[wesleyinman]

Day 13

A few things I am noticing, is that I am starting to really harden up more. I'm definintely leaning out. Retaining less water. And size wise, Im slightly smaller, but much harder..which we all know legit epiandro or DHT will do. So this is clearcut that the product is kicking in.

My appetite is down alot all week. Not sure if its relative to the epiandro or not..im not sure. I am not eating as much in one sitting too, so that might just be my stomach shrinking?

Workout Yesterday- literally an insane day and only had 30minutes to train

Biceps/Triceps

20x20
25x20

Day 14

Chest/Back/traps

Flat Bench (this exercise is the only one that irritates the pec strain I have...still. So not going super heavy on these)

365x6 (felt horrible on the pec strain)

135x10
185x10

New video I made for Raw Dynamix with the elevator rep method-also the proper way to decline bench press which I learned from Dorian Yates

Ran out of time. Called it a day. I applied 300mgs of TD stano an hour before I lifted. I felt really good during this workout to be honest. Feeling strong and overall just good. Pec really bothering me on the flat bench. Its annoying..im nervous to go any heavier then 365 right now.

 

[wesleyinman]

Update

DAY 17

One of the other things I have really noticed is super hair growth LOL. Facial hair and some body hair (Shoulders and back) coming in fast and dark. This is consistent with my other experiences with epiandro. So far this compound is showing all the signs and results of other very good epiandro/stano products I have used. Very happy so far. I do really find my best result is when I take a super hot shower and then apply within a few minutes. It really absorbs the best, and I notice I feel very good and also hungry about 45mins to 1 hour later.

Workout

Back and Biceps

Seated Cable Rows
100x10
200x10
300 (rack) x10
rack x10

Hammer Curls (dumbells listed per hand)
35x10
45x10
55x10
75x10

Pullovers
50x10
50x10
50x10

Stayed light with these. These and flat bench aggravate my pec so I have to be very cautious before going heavy on either one of these exercises.

Inman Curls
20lbs + bar x20
40lbs + bar x20
60lbs +bar x 20

Inman Shrugs
45x20
45x20

Ran out of time. Called it a day. Solid workout. Didn't press it much in terms of weights, but wanted to get as much volume in, in the very short time frame that I had to work with.

Still happy so far with this product. I'm more vascular and leaner then previously. I wish I had more time to provide to training and body recomp right now. When you really put the right diet into place and you are training regularly, doing abs, and cardio, etc..the body recomp abilities of stano/epiandro are awesome.

 

[wesleyinman]

Update DAY 26

Almost Done with the log and still feeling good on this product. Very happy with the quality and effects to date. Been using Nizoral 2% like E3d and not noticing any hair shedding or thinning on my head. That shampoo always works for any epiandro product I have ever run. I use it just in case.

Called it a day. Between the heat, the pwo and the speed on these sets and lack of rest, i left the gym soaking wet. Literally could wring out my shirt..believe it or not, even though it was not much volume..I did work these fast. Today I even have sore Hamstrings a bit..go figure from that tiny bit of weight. Back at it today later.
