Starting 1-Test cycle on monday ...

[Preacher]

I'm 25 years old, 165 lbs@17%BF
Main purpose: get to 175lbs, then cut ...

What would you recommend for dosages, best time for intake,
usage with other supps (Creatine, Glut, ...), dietary caveats (fat intake etc ...).

I'd like to make the most out of this first month or two, and I'm hoping to see some results
(but since I don't have my hopes up that high, any gains will be appreciated).

I'll be posting stats/feels as I progress during the first month, but any input would be greatly appreciated

 

[kuso]

No real imput at this stage....but I`m interested which one you are taking.

 

[Preacher]

That would be Chemisport Test-100: maybe not the best of it's kind, but it's the only one that's available here (very strict customs!).

It contains 100mg per serving ... but I think that's the total (with the Ether-group): comes to 75mg actual working substance I think.

 

[kuso]

Well.....I`m not sure on this....plus I`m kinda drunk now.....but I think Sauce recommends up to 6 a day and it has 75mg....your recommends 2 a day for the same amount Maybe Sauce is weaker than 75 really.

Another thing I`n pretty sure I read somewhere was for a guy 22olb to take 6g a day.............. but I could be speaking through my ass

I think gopro is due back in a day or two.....maybe pm him

 

[ZECH]

Same ingredients as Syntrax sauce.......If you really want to get good results I would take 2 first thing upon waking in the morning, 2 more after lunch and 2 more when going to bed. This is what I took of 1-ad and had great results. Not sure how many bottles you have but you might want to pryamid them....ex. Three a day for five days, six a day for five days. and three a day for five(1 bottle 2 wk cycle). I would recommend at least two bottles (4 wk cycle)! It usually takes about 2 weeks to start noticing the increase! Btw......be sure to get at least 2g/lb protein of bodyweight and train hard!!!!!!!! Good luck.

 

[Mudge]

I think on my bottle it said 1-2 a day, which was 100-200mg of 1-Test (forget the brand, Test-100). I'm 26 and don't feel like it really worked for me, post your results though!

 

[ksiebert]

Try taking it with flax seed oil. When you take it in pill form, it is broken down in the stomache, before it can get through to your lower intestines, where it is supposed to be absorbed. By taking it with flax seed oil, it slows down absorbtion.

Or you can take Molecular Nutrition's ethergel 1-Test.

Or you can take transdermal, which I like best. It really worked!

 

[Preacher]

Great, seems that they've got some dealer problems in Scotland ...

That means it'll be another week or so before anything hits my mailbox. D*mn! And I was so looking forward to it ...

GP, now that you're back, any dosage recommendations ?
I look like this :

(no giggling ... )
stats:

• weight: 162lbs
• Bodyfat%: 18
• Age: 25

 

[Preacher]

Some more question:

Should I:

• Uppen my caloric intake ?
• Restrict Cardio (such as MT Biking ?) to a minimum
• Change my diet (e.g. include more fat/protein ?)
• Warn the people around me about my violent mood-swings ?(YES, an excuse ..)

Will 1-test:

• Make it easier/harder to stay fat-free
• Enhance my endurance/strength or just mass ?

Any light you guys/gals could shine on this will be greatly appreciated

 

[ksiebert]

You must up your calorie intake about 1000 calories. Also make sure you are getting 1 g of protein per lb of bodyweight. Also, take some flax seed oil with the 1-Test. As I mentioned before, the transdermal 1-T has a much better absorbtion rate.

You will gain quite a bit of strength, but will lose some when going off of 1-TEST.

Not necessarily!! If you come off the cycle right.....you need to invest in some tribex, or fuzu to start on right when you are getting ready to finish your cycle and continue for at least 4 weeks to get your natural t levels back up without a big drag with your natural levels being low when you finish . This is where the loss comes in.The tribulus will get your t levels back up quickly and you can keep your strength gains. Also it is beneficial to take creatine and glutamine. I have been off 1-ad for about 1 1/2 months with no loss in strength. I am just starting a 1-test cycle now.

 

[ksiebert]

How many 1-T cycles have you done,? I've done 2, and have used tribex at the end of one, and fuzu at the end of the other. I know that it increased my sex drive, but was obvious that my major lifts, bench, squat and so forth definately decreased.

Just like any other steroid, there's no way that your body keeps all of the gains.

 

[ZECH]

I done a 8 week cycle of 1-ad and syntrax sauce. I took fuzu at the end and I haven't lost any strength in 1 1/2 months! Interesting that you did! Actually I feel stronger now than I did. Started taking Avant 1-test sunday night. Did you tell any difference between the tribex and fuzu? I'm guessing you are younger than me? Maybe age played a role in it?

 

[ksiebert]

I thought that fuzu was a bit better than tribex, but nothing great. I'd like to try sopharma trubulus. Anyways, i've done two 4 week cycles, and taken 4 weeks off in between. I'm 28 yrs old. I used Trenabol-x. You're going to love avant, you got ONE, or ONE+? Let me know how it goes!

Using the transdermal was so much better than pills, and 1-T is a little different than 1-AD, there is no conversion to take place, it's already testosterone! Much better absorbtion

 

[ZECH]

I have the one(beta version)! I hope it works well also!! I don't know much about Trenabol?? I really think 1-ad is by far the best! I wonder if that would have made any difference in keeping strength? If you ever do more, please try 1-ad! I don't think you will be dissapointed! The only thing I don't like about one is, letting it dry for several minutes before you put a shirt on, Just not quite as convienant as pills I guess. I'll let everyone know how it does for me!

 

[Preacher]

But doesn't 1-AD have more side-effects than 1-Test ?

Nevertheless, it cost me so much time and effort to get my hands
on a bottle of pills, I'll be damned not to take them.

Maybe if I get decent results, I'll try the transdermal type next (2nd cycle).

So I better get me some Tribulus then? Are the "coming off" (if you can call it that) effects that bad? No placebo effects ?

Does your sex-drive increase or decrease during a cycle of 1-Test
(I feel a bit weird referring to it as "cycle" ..).
(Since my sex-drive is already at an all-time low, I'm a bit jumpy on that subject).

Anyway, thanks for the great input so far (science is good, anecdotical proof is better ..). Can I ask for some examples ?
(e.g.: weight gained (after off-cycling), strength increase, ...).

Thanks!

Preacher, 1-ad and 1-test are really the same....but they are different in how they work. 1-ad is capsule that you swallow that has to be broken down by the liver to be converted into 1-test. So obviously you don't get 100% conversion(maybe 50% if lucky)..none the less this stuff works great! Now 1-test is what it says...doesn't have to broken down...absorbed directly into the skin. So in theory this should work lots better. I've heard some guys say it worked better and actually one that said 1-ad worked better for him. So it probably is a personal thing! Find out what works best for you. As far as taking tirbulus it is strictly for getting your natural t-levels back up as quickly as possible to maintain your gains! As far as sex drive goes, I heard both ways. Any foreign substance that contains test will supress your natural levels....thus it could affect your sex drive. But tribex or fuzu will increase it!

[ZECH]

Have you decided on dosage yet? Keep us informed dude~

 

[Mudge]

Preacher, thats exactly the brand I tried.
Good luck

I just came off a six week cycle of 1-test. I used T-SAN 100mg Capsules.

I took 100MG for times a day with 1000MG fish oil each time to help it pass throught the lymphatic system.

I will do another cycle again in four weeks as I was pleased with the results.

Granted, they were not as pronounced as if I juiced, but I did notice that my workouts were more intense/better pumps/more weight. etc.

I'm showing more difinition and the muscles do seem harder. I screwed up on my diet and retained to much BF which is why I'm going to try it again.

Did not notice any side effects at all.

 

[Mudge]

Didn't know fish oil helped at all, I can say that I was highly dissapointed, but could have just been my age, oh well.

 

[mrguy]

I'm 38 so maybe it had something to do with it.

I also was taking pure tribulus 1000mg twice a day with 50mg of DHEA and 10mg of yohimbine hcl each time.

I used fish oil becasue of the fatty acids. From what I read about 1-test, is that it is more effective when eaten with fatty acids or foods since the fat helps more cross the lymphatic system. I guess you could use other fatty acids like, saw palmetto or CLA.
The fish oil was cheaper!

Of course this supplement is like any other. It may not be effective for everyone.
