1-AD-greatness or garbage?

[AMac]

New to the board.
I've been out of the "supplement loop" and "serious weight-lifting loop" for about 3 yrs now (getting used to raising a couple of kids). I just discovered 1-AD yesterday, thanks to this board. I've been researching it on the web and it looks great but I'm a very supplement-skeptical kinda guy.
I would like to get some real world info on this supplement from someone most like me:

6'0''
270lbs
29 yrs old
500+lb bench press (as of 3 yrs ago)

I've read results some of ya'll have posted. And I know that we all respond to different supplements a little differently, that's why I post these stats, so as to receive info from those "genetically" closer to me. Plus- for genetic referencing purposes- I'm all natural, no-juice. (not against it, just haven't had the guts to try it)
Thanks,
AMac

I work in a supplement shop and have talked to alot of people that have used it. Typically people gain about 10 lean pounds in 3-4 weeks and then the results stop so I recomend taking it in 3 to 4 week cycles. this is the case with 8 out of 10 people. the other twenty percent don't respond to it at all.

I've done 2 cycles with good results! When I'm taking it I eat like a monster.

It is an excellent product, but by no means is it the best PH on the market. Ten pounds with huge strength gains is quite possible with 1-ad at 300-600mg per day for four weeks. With your size I would use 600-900mg per day.

Would I need some kinda drug to get my natural testosterone production back up? Or is 1-ad that strong? If so, what drug/supplement?

 

[bigswole30]

1-ad can certainly cause test suppression. The most popular OTC supp would be 6oxo by ergopharm. Others choose to use Nolvadex and clomid. It is up to you. I would also recommend stacking it with 4-ad if mass gains is your desire. This will help with libido while also giving you some estrogen to build more muscle. Estrogen is not always evil.

I've been on 1-AD for about 2 weeks and have gained 6 lbs with no ill effects so far. First week I took 300 a day and it didn't seem to do anything for me. Week 2 I upped it to 500 and I'm seeing solid gains. BTW I'm sorta in the same boat as you, I'm 35 was a solid 5' 11", 205 lbs. for about 10 years untill wife and childern took up my time. I'm going to give a full report in another 2 weeks about 1-AD. Planning to use 6-oxo right after cycle.
