Starting MAD

Just letting everyone know I am starting a cycle of methyl 4-AD on Saturday, Dec 27th. I will be using 250 mg per day for two weeks. This will be divided into 3 equal daily doses. I will make no other changes to diet, training, or supplementation during this period. Here are my starting stats:

-weight = 234
-bodyfat = 6-6.5%

I will report the good, bad, and ugly about this much argued about substance after week 1 and 2.

See ya soon!

Hey GP!! Long time no talk! You threw me off with the "MAD". For a minute I was going to say, "What the hell is going on down there in Pembroke Pines Gold's! (I was there yesterday and I met Trent)

Hey, whose is the freak chick your training with. I may know who she is!

Hey buddy! Not at PP anymore...only in the "hood" Golds now. And as far as the freak chick...nah, you wouldn't know her...she is from out of state. Just got a fitness model contract with Met RX and is relocating to South Fla. I am training her for her pro card attempt in Figure at the Jr USA and Jr Nats in 2004.

why in the world would you be at 6% bf right now?

that is about what pros maintain off season for guest appearances, and they can do this because they're loaded with drugs.

Ummm, well, this is about where I will stay from now on Prince. I am always subject to having pics taken for various projects and always need to look good to represent at all the shows VPX attends. Difference with me is.......NO DRUGS. Just crazy hard work and spartan discipline. Best shape of my life right now!

A much safer stack would be injectable testosterone, that might do a number on the liver.

Or even to just go with M 1-T and regular 4-AD or regular 1-Test with MAD. Then you are simply working with one 17 aa product.

GoPro,
From looking at other feedback, and other peoples recomendations, I would seriously lower your dosage. People are recomending 10-30mgs per day. At 250mgs, guesstimating 50% conversion, your getting 125 mgs of Methyl Test. That is going to do a number on your liver, give you crazy acne, hairloss (well nevermind your head is shaved) and me murder on your body. As much as I have disagreed with you in the past, I would hate to see you end up in the hospital with liver failure.

I agree...I've been reading the research as well. What I am going to do is use this amount for at least a week and see what happens as far as sides and blood work. I need to do this b/c I need some sort of tangable proof to present to "the powers that be," that the VPX dosing is too high. I guess I'm going to be a "sacrificial" lamb so to speak. Luckily I have never consumed alcohol, taken any drugs, or ever done anything to compromise my liver in any way...so, I can probably handle the load for a very short period.

Thanks for your concern.

We'll see. I think a better dose would be about 100-125 mg per day. IF conversion was 50% (if), than 50-60 mg of M-test per day is not too out of range. Most guys that DO use M-test go anywhere from 25 to 150 mg per day. Personally I don't think conversion is going to be that high and that the unconverted portion will supply most of the beneficial effects.

So far on it for two days. Trained today and got an insane pump and was very strong. Still, I don't count that as anything yet.

I think that sounds about right. I know a few PLers who would use 60-80mgs of Methyltest preworkout.

That's a pretty damn large ammount of Methyltest.. Would the increase of test levels help you along with your workout? More intensity/strength?

It does not increase test levels, it increases Methyl Test levels. Just like taking any other AAS that isnt Test, deca increases Deca levels, dbol increases dbol levels.

yea its the reason why basic test(pro,cyp,ent, *insert ester here*)should be the main ingredient to any cycle...deca still shuts ur test production down, so when run it alone you will get gains but good look on "standing at attension"...now that i think about it, could mad give a case of deca dik, or this case mad dik...
