gopro what age for 1-test

ac · 05-30-2002, 07:07 PM

hey gopro how you doin mate?
just read your post about 1-test and it has really interested me. I'm 22 next week, do you think this is too young to be messing around with this sort of stuff? Also my diet and training are in a pretty good state.
Cheers gopro

i'm not stepping on GP'S toes here, but at 22 you really dont need to take it.your're young enough to where your body is making plenty of testosterone, levels start to decrease around mid 30's.its just an opinion.peace

I totally agree with tank !! Don't take pro's until 30. It's a waste of money at your age. Stick with creatine, protien, glutamine etc....

Damn it hurts when Tank steps on my toes...the guy is about 245 lbs!!!!

Anyway, I agree that at 22 you do not really need 1-test, but it would not be terrible for you to take it. I tell teens to steer clear, but at 22 you could take it. Natural hormone levels start to decline in men after about age 25, so you are still "running full."

If you do take it, I would recommend short cycles, like 4 weeks on 4 weeks off. You wouldn't need more than that.

Just something to add..............I doub't you would see much improvement over not taking as your still young!! Might want to save your money and put elsewhere as it gets expensive!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have to disagree...while it is more effective for the older bodybuilder, he would probably still see very good gains from it. Personally though, I'd like to see him wait a few years and get more "natural" growth out of his own hormones first.

Tank316 · 05-31-2002, 08:58 AM

i only gots one good foot to be stepping on any way.

Tank316 · 05-31-2002, 09:02 AM

i'm working with a guy who is the same age as i am, i have him on ErgoPharms 1-AD and with the last month his lifts are improving greatly.i hav'nt changed his diet around with the exception of waking up at mid nite to down a protien drink. if i was'nt going to compete in the spring of 2003 i would gladly experiment of myself.

TJohn · 05-31-2002, 09:35 AM

1AD is great stuff. I'm 39 and just got done a cycle. Put on 13 lbs and had good strength gains.

thanks guys, not 100% sure what i'll do yet, i might give gaba a try first. What are your opinions on gaba?

ac · 05-31-2002, 03:03 PM

also do you think taking 1-test at 22 will do me any harm?

twarrior · 06-01-2002, 07:12 AM

Who's hormones drop after reaching their 30's??? I'm 37 and mine are in full gear all day long!!!!

No, I don't think it would do you any harm. As for GABA...don't waste your time. There are many better supps out there!

the MR.Wis, held in April of 2003, which is a WNBF qualifier. the comp is really tough, there are alot of great builders that come from Wis.Thats why i have taken two years to concentrate on a few body parts, but to try other things like strongman comps, which have been a blast to do.

Vale Tudo · 06-01-2002, 05:39 PM

I am still trying to find out where I can get my hands on 1-AD

Awesome Tank...one day we will probably compete against eachother in the WNBF !!!! I would be scared of you, but it would be FUN !!!!!!!!!!

LAM · 06-02-2002, 07:20 PM

gopro...got a question. why does it seem like the people who are even lucky enough to make gains on prohormones seem to complain about drastic losses once they stop ? what's the point ?

Well, I only believe in the efficacy of 3 "pro-hormones''.....

-1-test
-1ad
-4ad

And, you have to be smart about cycle length and what to do when you come off...you almost have to treat it like a real steroid cycle in order to keep most of what you gain.

Preacher · 06-16-2002, 01:24 PM

lol ... I'm not going to do Clomid or anything of the likes after my 1-Test cycle ...
What's the point in not doing AS then ?

What "natural" OTC supp would you recommend to keep most of the gains on ?

No, you wouldn't need clomid after a pro-hormone cycle...you would be just fine with Tribex or Tribestan.

Mike51 · 06-16-2002, 06:38 PM

ok I just started with 1-test yesterday, so after the 6 weeks on with that go straight into using tribex?

Start the Tribex DURING the final week of 1-Test.

Vale Tudo · 06-17-2002, 05:36 PM

Hey GoPro, you stuck me on an 8 week cycle, I am also 22 should I break those up?

**gopro** · 06-17-2002, 06:23 PM

No, do the cycle the way I laid it out.
