Of course there is strong progestin based prohormones (pro-dien and dien) but they come with totally different side-effects and at least pro-dien elevates liver values and skews lipids too.

DW, what do you know about 1-Alpha's effect on cholesterol?

The conversion seems to have a lot of the sides at a minimum but I am not sure what effect this would have concerning choleterol. My guess is that it would not be as bad as what it converts too but I am not a scientist type.

DW, what do you know about 1-Alpha's effect on cholesterol?

since it is non-17a methylated there is much less concern for altered cholesterol problems, and it is liver safe.
depending on your diet, blood pressure may be slightly elevated, but is typically not an issue.
majority of users consider side effects mild and very easily tolerated during cycle.

ya man strength is going up faster then my joints can keep up with. I have just been making the lighter weight more difficult by going slower, pausing etc

That's it,I say it all the time,you know your body best,I've had a cycle before where I had to just up the reps with a bit lower weight as my joints were terrible,but that's hard to do sometimes when it gets in your head you just wanna go!discipline is key tho!

I always,try to work my reps with as much weight and volume as possible,haven't maxed in a while,don't have a spot for 1,but I always keep in mind I'm working with reps when I go I'm not maxing every time so that number in theory means nothing to me.I hate when I get asked what I bench when I'm out just bc I look like I might work out,lol I always say a lot!i also like to hit a 1rm on all major lifts near end of each cycle tho.

I dont care much about flat bench 1rm but id like to see squat and deadlift. No spotter for me either well my wife but if I really get in a jam on bench shes not gonna be able to help much she is jacked tho LOL. I didnt do really any flat barbell benching for my whole contest prep so Im just getting back into it this last month.

I've made the conscious decision to walk away from flat bench for forever. Or until I decide I want to give powerlifting a 100% go

Just keep the reps reasonably high. Next time you can mix in some 550.. that should help the joints keep up..

[bean5er]

Good point I didnt even think of that. Hmmm contest prep stack???? So many possibilities. 1-Alpha on a different diet would shred me up nicely i bet

Yeah it would, it seems impossible to gain fat with 1-Alpha, at least for me.n
