I plan on running another cycle in a few months. Im taking a good liver support supplement and tribulus as my pct. Can anybody recommend another good supp to stack with the 1ad? Ive heard you can run it with 4ad for a killer combo, but I cant find any 4ad for sale.
I'm also quite interested in ecdysterone/methoxyisoflavone. Anything that is non-hormonal is worth throwing in during PCT, or as a bridge between cycles of things which shut you down, like 1-AD.Not to get off topic bcuz i know this forum is on bismark labs 1ad, but has anyone ever ran ecdysterone/methoxyisoflavone together with any kind of decent results? It would be a cheap relatively cheap stack I plan on using until my body is ready for another 45 60 day 1ad cycle, thanks guys.
Hi Shortfuse,
I'm on my 3rd cycle of Anabolic Pharmaceuticles 1-AD.
The first was on it's own
The second was with 4-AD
This time, as described above, with 500mg test cypionate a week. I was already 16lb up when I started the 1-AD (from the turinabol kickstart, water from the test kicking in, and a little more fat).
Each previous time, I've gained maybe 8-10lb of (scale) weight per bottle (30 days), but that includes the fat loss that it seems to cause, so I'm guessing I gained 12lb of muscle, and lost some fat. None of that was water weight Both previous times were in the summer when I was sunbathing and taking my shirt off a lot, and I feel I looked really good, I had a nice 6-pack. Bare in mind that I am in my early 40s.
I've never been interested in that professional bodybuilder, Jay Cutler look - Frank Zane at his best would be my ideal. My body looked like Brad Pitt in "Fight Club" at the end of my first 1-AD cycle. I've done a few cycles since then, I'm aiming for a Brad Pitt in "Troy" look this year.
I've just opened the bottle and sniffed - I don't smell any ammonia smell (I have a chemistry degree from a UK university). I use CEE offcycle, and I doubt that 10g-ish total of CEE would cause all the effects and muscle growth in a month.
I take 3 capsules a day, as directed. I think Patrick Arnold got the dose about right when he developed 1-AD. Spread the dose out, morning, lunchtime, evening. Don't overload the enzyme which converts it with too much in one go.
I never noticed any hairloss, but I'm not prone (I'm like a less-good-looking Richard Gere). After my bath last night, I didn't see any hairs in the bath, except for one which clearly came off my thai wife. I think 1-test is already 5-alpha reduced (it's the DHT-type metabolite of boldenone), and it's half as androgenic as DHT itself. Also, it spreads equally throughout all tissues, whereas the scalp has a lot of 5-alpha reductase, so when DHT is manufactured from testosterone in your blood plasma, concentrations are high in the scalp.
I just opened a capsule, and put a bit of the dry powder under my tongue. Most of it dissolved (the 1-androstenediol and the magnesium stearate filler?) but a little granular powder remained (the stone-ground rice filler?). It didn't taste too bad (neither does testosterone, DHEA or cholesterol). It had a slight bitter, "plastic" taste. It's definitely not creatine ethyl ester, which tastes disgusting (that's why its usually in pill form rather than mixed in with a protein shake, unlike creatine monohydrate).
For comparison, I also tasted a dab of 99% pure DHEA powder, which I had hanging around after making some tablets for my wife. That doesn't really have a taste, either. I think things with a massive, multi-ring steroid skeleton taste pretty bland, generally. I think the "burning under the tongue" may be an urban myth, or maybe pure 1-testosterone causes irritation, and not 1-androstenediol. Dunno.
I think some of the gains I make when "on" are due to what I'm taking, and some are due to working out more often. When I'm are taking pills every day, I don't want to waste them by being lazy.Ok my cycle of Bismark 1-AD is finished. 4 weeks, 2 bottles, 4 pills a day spread out. I lifted 4-5 times a week. I ate a more than normal, and made sure to drink my protien shakes 3 times a day. I seemed to be hungry more often, and needed to pee more frequently.
In the end I gained 5-6 lbs. strength increased mid week two I give Bismark credit for this. I do look better but I also worked very hard in the gym, and just as hard on my diet.
Having taken the original Ergopharm 1-AD, my personal opinion is that the Bismark version is CRAP compared to the Ergopharm version. At two pills a day on the original I had twice the results. With Ergo I also had more strenth gains, quicker recovery, WAY more aggression, and more weight gain.
Overall I wouldn't waist my time or money on the product again. I believe 90% of my gains came from eating more, working harder, and placebo effect. The strenth gains may have been because I believed I should be pushing more, so I did. Not sure? Looking for something different next time around. I am intrested in the Anabolic Pharmaceuticles brand and would be willing to give it a try. But Bismark @ $70 per bottle NEVER again.
Zorrin have you seen real results with the Anabolic Pharmaceuticles 1-AD? Your description sounds much like the original Ergopharm. I'm looking for a PH that gives great results, but is non-methylated. I don't like the idea of liver damage. The Bismark 1AD did very little for me at 4 pills a day. Would love any info, or suggestions you might have.
How do you guys find this stuff so easily?
It was on Ebay for a month or so, maybe longer. I didn't have much success using two bottles but I guess others have had some results. In fact one of the sellers on Ebay emailed me, he quit selling it because he had too many complaints about the results (people telling him it was bunk).
i just got some bismark 1AD as well and will be starting in a couple weeks so ill keep everyone posted. but as far as that strong smell go. its really crazy strong. does anyone know if the ergo 1ad had the same smell? what about the anabolic pharmaceuticals brand?
now define bunk? as in NO RESULTS or MUCH LESS THAN EXPECTED?
I was just an innocent, young, sexy fool when I first tried 1-AD. I did no PCT. I didn't know what it was. I did, however, find out what it feels like to be "shut down".
I'm running steroids for 13 weeks this time:-
500mg test cypionate/week, weeks 1 to 10 (two 1ml injections per week)
50mg turinabol/day, weeks 1 to 3 - I enjoyed this, bulked up, no bloat, felt great
300mg 1-AD/day, weeks 4 to 10 - muscles were harder and dryer by week 5, but cajones shrinking a little.
hcg - 250iu, every 3 days, weeks 6-10
Methyl Hydroxy nandrolone (MHN) - dose to be decided -weeks 11, 12, 13
PCT - Nolva, dose to be decided, Proviron, trib, ZMA, CEE, weeks 14, 15, 16
I've never tried MHN before, so it will be at a low dose for 3 weeks after my last test shot, then cold turkey and straight into PCT. It's reputed to be a dry anavar-style oral. I have plenty of 10mg winstrol pills too, but I'm not a big fan of them. I'm one of those people who takes one winstrol pill, and my elbow tendons ache.
PCT shouldn't be too hard, hopefully. I will be using small amounts (250ius) of hcg, 3 times a week, for the last 4 weeks of my cycle, with tamaxofen if aromatisation becomes a problem from the hcg, so my balls should be alive and ready to bounce back when the last test shot has faded. I will also be throwing in tribulus terestris, ZMA and creatine ethyl ester during PCT. I have some great trib concentrate which I cap myself. I got it by accident from a supplement company who messed my order up.
PCT is the time to throw in all those non-hormonal supplements, just to make it through and try to hold on to your muscle gains until the boys are firing.
Oh, and I have proviron on the way in the post. I will add it to my cycle, and possibly during PCT.
