Hi Jim,
This is my first post to this board. First off, I'd like to thank you for sharing your M1T experiences. I've been following this thread with a great deal of interest for the past few days, and have been considering a couple of cycles of M1T. So thanks for the great info!!!
There are a few other boards with a lot to say about the subject, some for it, some against. One thing I ran across of concern (about you) though was in the Bodybuilding.com forums. Here's what was posted, and then the reply.

Im fairly knowledgeable regarding hormones, supplements and the like.
SO my question I hope will not come off as if I havent researched this topic. BUT hopefully someone knows the answer.
People are recomending 5-20mg of M1T a day. Now this seems like a very low dose comparing to other oral steroids. (Anadrol, D-bol, winstrol tabs are taken at around 30-50 mg a day or higher)
ALSO the human male body produces roughly 250 mg of testosterone a week; or 36 mg a day. Adding 5mg to this a day doesnt seem like a very high androgen count.
Can someone clear this up??

Let's get a few of your numbers corrected:
1-test ->
When compared to test prop it is exactly 100% as androgenic and 200% as anabolic.
methyl 1-test ->
When compared to test prop it is 30% as androgenic and 200% as anabolic. Same level of anabolic potential but the androgenic profile dropped by 70% over the base modification. If numbers don't lie then M-1-T is LESS ANDROGENIC than regular 1-test.
When compared to methyl testosterone it is 100-220% as androgenic and 910-1600% as anabolic. There is a range as there are two cited values and references. We could average the two values and rest assured we are closer to true value, so.....~150% as androgenic and 1250% as anabolic.
Going by the above values for methyl 1-test we can draw some coorelation to doseages. For instance, if you wanted to know the mg equivalent for 750 mg weekly of test you would divide by 12.5 (1250% is 12.5 times as great) which gives 60 mg weekly of M-1-T. This breaks down to 60 mg / 7 days => 8.6 mg M-1-T daily.
To go the other way, say 10 mg M-1-T daily is equal to 70 mg weekly. Take this number and multiply by 12.5 and get 875 mg weekly of test. These numbers are rough but the magnitude should be about right.
10 mg ED M-1-T is approximately equal to 875 mg weekly of methyl test.
So... you are taking 80 mg/day M1T, which (according to the posters above) is 8 x 875 or the equivalent of 7000 mg/week of the AAS methyl testosterone! That is scary if those numbers are right.
I think things will turn out well in the end, but take care of yourself. You only get one shot at this game. Best wishes.
