question re: 1-AD

[david_diesel]

I have been checking out alot of the posts on this forum regarding 1-AD. I see alot of mixed responses about this PH and i would like to basically compile the pros and cons of it so i know what it will do and what it will not do.. if you guys would be so kind as to maybe help me out with a few questions i would be most greatful

first of all...

is it the general consensus that it causes acne breakouts?

is it the general consensus that it causes a loss in sex drive/shrinkage?

is it the general consensus that it causes abnormal amounts of hair loss

will i need an anti-E while using 1-AD

I have read that some have used 1-ad with other PH's but I would like to know about those who have used just 1-AD

i recently came off a cutting cycle where i lost 20 lbs (13 lbs fat and 7 lbs muscle :-( and i would like to put back on the 7 lbs of muscle that i lost and maybe a little more

my stats

5'8"
140 lbs
10.6 % BF

Thanks

I gained little muscle, but had a great increase in strength. The only side I noticed was breakouts on my forearms, as for hair loss...I have no idea, I shave my head .

Acne- none

sex drive- way down

shrinkage- you bet

hair loss- a little

You won't need an anti-e. It causes your estrogen to plummett which causes no acne, no sex drive, and lethargy.

I suggest adding some 4AD with DMSO- cheap cheap. Buy powdered 4AD from www.beyond-a-century.com $23. This might help with the estrogen plummet.

I started using it on monday, 2 pills per day.

My friend used 2 pills per day for 8 weeks and actually gained 12 pounds with increased sex drive.

So I will let you know how it goes..

I have been having sex 3 times since monday so far, so nothing negative is happening so far.

Except ( it could be my ECA stack) when I my penis is soft it looks very short and stubby as opposed to be full...

But I get that with ECA so that might be it.

 

[Nutri-Wrestler]

the short and stubby penis u have is not due to the ECA. You just have a short and stubby penis. your g/f told me last night when i was rocking ontop of her. j/k

No really, the shrinkage of da' wang is due to the ECA.

I'm on my second cycle now. The first I had tons of acne, and a few weeks into my second cycle I had alot, then it just went away. My second cycle has been alot different in nearly every way than the first. My sex drive is still down but I'm not getting any shrinkage, and minimal hair loss this time. I'm using two bottles this time spread over 5 weeks, peaking at 5x a day.

First cycle I was up 5 pounds or so with the same BF %. My strength went up, though I forgot what I started at.

Second cycle, I'm up maybe 2lbs. I attribute this mainly to my nutrition, I'm not eating like I was before. I had my measurements taken a few days ago and I'm nearly the same in everything - which means that I am just more dense than before. I can definitely tell a change in physique. My bench is up right now, I have heavy legs in a few days. I'll come back to this post in a couple weeks after I'm done and see how I did.

5'5 16% BF
167 lbs
Bench: 1 rep max at 300
Leg Press: 3 reps @ 615

I strongly suggest using an anti e post cycle as well as pyramiding (sp?) down. I can't get anything but chyrsin for an anti E but I use that for two weeks after my cycle is done. 1AD is supposed to suppress natural T production, so post cycle your t:e ratio is way off, so an anti e is good until your body starts producing somewhat normal levels again. As for as coming down, I reduce my dosage to 3, then 2, then 1 over a just under a 2 week period.
