You are thinking of 1-test (possibly 1AD) and 4AD. This 1,4AD...a boldenone precursor...not a 1-test precursor.
I know what I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about exactly what I have written about.
4AD was certainly better transdermally as was 1-test, but 1AD and 1,4AD are better orally.
I've seen little anecdotal evidence to support 1,4AD being very active orally. People's gains just do not seem to match up with those who took it transdermally (or injected, back in the heyday of prohormones). I think it's appropriate to speculate and say that the double bond in the first position will increase bioavailability, but we don't have any evidence to say that for sure because there wasn't any study relating directly to this hormone.
Then again, the transdermal solutions people were using back then must have had a pretty high bioavailability. People seem lazy now, they just use penetrate and don't even bother with DMSO. There's also better ways of putting the basic alcohol/oleic/etc solution together. So, that could explain why there were good results in the transdermal department.
Sorry I don't have any direct links to the reports. This is just an amassed impression I've gotten over years of watching the industry.
Making the powder into an injectible is not the best option, as there is no ester attached. You would require frequent injections (like multiple per day) in order to keep steady blood levels. 1,4AD cyp powder however would be another story and could be made into an injectable boldenone precursor.
Why would an unesterfied steroid need multiple injections per day? Are you unfamiliar with testosterone suspensions that bodybuilders use? Don't answer this. The typical protocol is one injection per day. Derivative hormones from the injected original have a cascade of anabolic effects which happen through conversion even after blood levels of the hormone had peaked. Anecdotal reports of people who inject unesterfied hormones are rediculously great, and they typically inject once per day.
