: : Unique and others

: : As I posted a week ago, I purchased a two month supply
: : of Androstene and started using it over a week ago. The
: : company that sells it is OSMO therapy out of San Francisco.
: : It is expensive $50-60 for 60 caps, but they'll cut
: : you a better deal if you buy a case of twelve bottles.
: : I had read up on the substance and exchanged some e-mails
: : with Pat Arnold (its originator in the states) regarding its
: : use (Pat is partnered with OSMO Therapy on this and other
: : products). I had thought it was similar to Ipriflavone, in
: : that it would prevent aromitazation and thus trick the
: : pituatary to trigger more test production by the testes. As
: : it turns out, Androstenione is the direct precursor to
: : test, and is converted to testosterone by the liver.
: : OSMO recommends two capsules only on workout days, two
: : hours before workout for a 200-300% increase in test.

: : After my e-mail exchange with Pat Arnold, (who by the way is
: : much more gracious in responding than Duchaine or Kneller-who
: : both auto respond with consultation available for $250
: : per hour) I opted for the alternative method of consistant dosing throughout the day
: : to keep test levels elevated.

: : I've been doing this for ten days, and do notice a difference. I'm not using
: : any other supplements (except for protein shake twice a day)
: : and have'nt used A.S. in quite a long time. In the ten day time
: : frame, I can't say the changes are dramatic, but they are
: : noticealbe. My muscles are definitely fuller and harder,
: : pump quicker during workouts. I don't do tape measurements,
: : but my weight is up about 3 lbs (could be coincidental as
: : I tend to fluctuate between 245 and 250 regularly-but coupled with the
: : full, pumped feeling, I do feel a little bigger). Interestingly
: : enough the most significant change, (that even some others have
: : noticed is that my abs are slightly more evident). Now I had a
: : bodyfat measurement 5 days before starting and it was at
: : 16.5% ucch! I will have another done after the first full month.
: : I haven't maxed on any of my lifts, because I usually max every
: : second week anyhow, and want to keep my routine the same.
: : I generally feel slightly stonger (could be placebo effect) and
: : seem to have one or two more reps in me than usual.
: : No oily skin or pimples, or any other side effects yet,
: : although I have been sportin wood alot more (also could
: : be placebo effect).

: : Sorry for the anectodal report, but after only 10 days,
: : its tough to comment on even some A.S. It is legal,
: : It does seem to be working but the way I'm using (2 caps
: : 3 times a day) makes this an even more expensive venture
: : than a cycle of EAS crap, but I'll keep everyone posted on my
: : Max's next weeks.

: : S3
: : : I have been doing some research of late on some naturally occuring hormones that would be highly
: : : efficacious. From what I gather so far--androstenediol is naturally occurring and highly potent.
: : : It is considered very anabolic but our govt does not consider it an anabolic steroid. It should
: : : be legal--at least for awhile. DHEA is listed in the Merck as an androgenic steroid and it is
: : : allowable (probably because it doesn't work). If DHEA is allowable, why not androstenediol? I
: : : am working on this at present (very slowly) and will keep you posted. I don't know a whole lot
: : : about it at this time.
: : : Keep up the fight!
: : : Unique

: And what about the sex drive ? Any change (increase/decrease) ??

: WG

Definetly an increase in drive! Maybe even in performance
but being married with children, I get little oppty to
push the edge of the envelope there (you know how
it works for us married guys) Like I said, I'm certain its working, Its
not quite like being on a cycle, but it does have an effect-its just
very expensive. I'll be more specific with results next week, after
I hit some max's and weigh in.

Good lifting,

S3
