1-ad and conspiracy

[JackOfSpades]

Benzi,

I won't comment on the 1-AD except the negatives then.

I too experienced more than ordinary hair loss, re-occuring headaches, and a slight discomfort from urination. If that's company hype, I think I'm going to get fired. Hope that helps.

As to # of posts, shit! I thought that was a ranking! )

 

[pa1ad]

Now, a person's # of necessarily reflect there knowledge of as and sups, although it does reflect how long the person has been a member of the board. I have noticed that all people making outrageous claims about its use, and people who seem to set up questions for others to possibly bs an answer, all have less than 100 posts. I don't know... do I smell advertising. I have bought the stuff and now I’m wondering if I had made the right decision. I will keep everyone posted on my gains, and if I don't gain shit odds are you won't gain shit.
If I’m wrong than I’m sorry, but it had to be said. No to mention that the people who seem to be advertising only apply (w/the exception of a few posts) to 1-ad threads. Not only do they reply to the thread, but also they explain 1-ad in an advertising kind of way, if you know what I mean.
Having said this, I would like to know if anyone who has over 100 posts has had any luck with the product. Also, people who haven’t had any results.
People with less than 100 posts need not respond... but if you must go ahead.
Just so you know I’m not calling the guys liars, I just would like to see what old(er)-school elite members think about he product.
Thanks

OK boys, they finally are on to us here. On to the next message board website.

If i can speak on behalf of some members I know this is not the first time a product comes out and people w/ less than 50posts even come out and make outrageous claims of their products. This happens *especially* when a biotest product comes out. It's so reliable that it will happen you can place a bet on it, and a lot of them are in fact biotest employees obviously. The guy posting has probobly never used it, and is probobly a fat turd behind the computer getting paid to make up outrageous claims. And they somehow all dissappear very shortly after their outrageous claims.
I'm not calling you a liar bro, i'm just saying what has happened before. And i been on these boards for quite a while, so i know a few company's tricks. We just have to be more skeptical and read everything w/ a bit of skepticism. Afterall, in this business we have to be a bit skeptical anyway, if we weren't we'd all run out and go buy stuff like "the beast". So don't take anything to the heart bro... IMO you do sound honest and i believe you. But you just got to be careful like i mentioned earlier.


Biotest's outrageous claims

The power of advertisement!!!! and word of mouth!!!! I have very few posts, I am a fat turd behind a computer... biotest... I am perfect for you!!!! how much for my outrages claims???? give me some "dinero amigos".....

 

[Birduvsc]

yep pat...

LOL...that's right pat, I think we better pack up and go, they caught us. But I'm gonna take my 1-AD with me cause it FREAKIN WORKS!!! Screw the number of posts, everyone had to start at 0 one time in their message board life, right? Ok then.

 

[Benzi]

Wow, this is the last time I am going to say this:
A person's number of posts doesn't represent their knowledge, yet it does instill credibility. I'm sure that many of you with fewer than 100 posts are not promoters, although I have speculated that few are and wanted to make the board aware of this. I wouldn't want people to lose their hard earned money on a product that is going to turn their shit and piss into fire, make their eyes looked fucked up, make their hairline recede, and give them terrible stomach aches.

Personally, I have been taking the maximum dose for about 5 days now and I haven’t noticed a difference. Don't get me wrong, even with good as cycles one needs more than a week or two to notice a significant difference.
This being said, I also believe that there is not possible way one can gain 20-30 lbs off of this supplement unless they are a newbie. This is what I would consider an OUTRAGEUOS claim. I mean, I have seen men who are amateur bb's that partake in ridiculous bulking cycles and they are happy if they gain 8-15 lbs of muscle. This of course, being void of water and fat.

I will keep everyone posted on the results of my cycle.
Remember:
<sum> I have experienced each of the side effects listed; some are more extreme than others
<sum> I am taking the maximum dosage of Egopharm’s 1-AD, as well as their Andro Spray
<sum> I plan on taking their tribulus at the end of the cycle to counter effect the sides
<sum> I have increase my caloric intake, while also increasing my protein intake
<sum> My training remains the same, HIT system by MAXOUT (week 3), and will remain the same throughout the cycle (program plays with muscle confusion, so there should be no strength plateaus… I would assume)
<sum> I am supplementing with creatin, and other base sups, I also drink about 1 gallon of water/day
<sum> I am getting, on avg., 7-10 hours of sleep per night

I would expect to gain at least 5-8 lbs of muscle form this cycle. If I do not, then I doubt anyone will gain 20-25 lbs…. Of even 10 lbs to say the most.

 

[Fortes]

Yep, pat and bird, lets go . . .

Hey Benzi, I'm off 1-AD and my strength is STILL going up.

Maybe if you dropped that HIT SHIT and did a real workout you'd actually gain some real strength/size!

Just kidding, I too use the 1 hard set style sometimes - it's nice when you don't have the time to sit in the spa all day and do nothing but drink protein and lay around. I can vouch for its efficacy from personal experience, even though Dr. Squat would yell at me for even thinking this thought. Although I usually do 1 hard set of 5-8 reps, not the 15-20 that Mike Mentzer advocated. The mainstay of my training, however, is at least three sets per lift, 3-6 reps, and one lift per muscle group (I.E., bench for chest, skullcrushers for tris, front raises for delts, 3 sets each). Too high volume = overtraining. Everytime I increase my volume drastically, I burn out in about 2 weeks. Ever since I've been keeping the volume down, I've been making long term strength gains like a champ, plus I only feel like taking 1 week off every 10-12 weeks, wheras before it was like every month!

 

[Benzi]

Forstes,
Maxout's programe consists of 5 days on, 2 days off
9 sets for large muscle groups (divide into 3 excercises)
7 sets for small
4-6 reps per set

I don't believe in one set lifts, i would be too prone to injury
check out the program and see how it works for you, i have made some impressive gains in stregth and mass for the last couple of months.

 

[Benzi]

On a positive note, i would like to add that the majority of the side effects as subsided.
My piss no longer burns, nor does my shit.
No more stomach aches.
If my hear still falls out, i'm dropping the product. My hairline has receded slightly, i believe, it could just be paranoia

I have some backne outbreaks, i beleive it is form the Andro spray as it is usually common

That is it for now... My strechth has remained the same, and so has my weight
Right now i am about 140, i will compare this to my weight at the end of the cycle

 

[Fortes]

Benzi, sounds a lot like what I do . . . except I use a little less volume. I find it's necessary to do so because right now I have a stressful real life schedule (what the hell is real life anyways? Being at the gym, right?)

Day 1 -

Bench Press, 3-5 sets, 3-6 reps.
Tricep Work, 4-5 sets, 5-8 reps.
RC's, 4 sets, 8-12 reps. (neglecting this one lately . . .)

Day 2 -

Pull-ups, 4 sets of 10 (or whatever you can do before failure).
Barbell rows, 2 sets of 6-8.
Dumbell rows, 2 sets of 6-8.
T-bar rows, 2 sets of 8-12.
Some kind of trap work . . .

My back recovers faster than any other muscle group, so I still hit it with some good volume. I like to get in 100 reps for any lat workout.

When I feel up to it, I'll do deadlifts, 2-5 sets of 4-8 reps.

Day 3 -

Squats, 3-5 sets of 3-6 reps.
Romanian Deadlifts, 3-5 sets of 6-10 reps.
Glute-Ham raises (when I feel like jerryrigging it), 4 sets of 10-15
Calf raises, 100 reps total, superset different devices.


And thats a week! I've been doing this type of workout for 10 months solid now, with maybe a month off total downtime. As for periodization of intensity, I have followed Poliquin's 5% solution. It is, without a doubt, my favorite workout - very simple, self-regulating, no-frills and effective. THIS is INTEGRAL, I feel, to the success of my workouts: to constantly know exactly where I stand, and from workout to workout, know that I'm increasing my strength. My projected lifts have gone from:

Squat 350 Bench 240 Deadlift 400

to

Squat 445 Bench 360 Deadlift 500

And my bodyweight has gone from 212 to 255.

I seldom max out; I feel it is simply a waste of time if you're not competing. Max calculators are very useful, if you ask me. If you're wondering why my squat and dead have improved so much less than my bench, I tore my hamstring over the summer while training to play football at Moorpark College. It took me a full 8 weeks to get back into lifting again, 10 to go heavy. So that cut my progress short in those two lifts. If anyone wants a 5% solution spreadsheet, let me know! I'll gladly mail one.

 

[Benzi]

Fortes,
Yeah man, send me the spreadsheet
it sounds good
I have been training for a while and have hit a killer plateau in the last couple of weeks. This is why i'm trying that 1-ad stuff. I have been considering an anavar only cycle, that is, if my plateau persists. Have you gone an any cycles? Those gains you have made ove the last year are damn impressive. Shoot me a PM. Peace bro and keep on growing.
