OK since somebody brought this thing back to life I want to clarify my position. I found 1AD effective but I was most certainly under my genetic potential at the start of that cycle, and well under the level I had achieved earlier in my life using AAS, so muscle memory was probably a factor. Given that information, 1AD was very effective at helping me put on a solid 10 lbs, I was bigger, stronger, and leaner appearing, after the cycle. I would NOT claim again it was 10lbs LBM that was a bad choice of words, but it was a very solid 10lbs weight gain.
At this point I have moved back to real AAS with good results but the hassles and worries associated with trying to ILLEGALLY obtain gear of uncertain quality, actually make the prospect of trying another 1AD cycle not so unappealing.
My preference would certainly be the real deal if I could only be assured of persistant supply and quality. I believe the all human-grade gear I used in the 80s (before schedule III) had generally more punch than the vet and underground stuff I have tried to date.
