For the umpteenth time, 1-test IS a steroid. You guys who are saying it isn't or that it is a prohormone are simply talking out of your ass without the most basic understanding of what comprises a steroid. 1-Test is very close in structure to primo (1-methyl-1-testosterone). Primo just has that extra methyl group on the 1-carbon. If 1-test is a prohormone then I guess 1-AD is a pro-prohormone, LOL. You guys really make yourselves look uneducated.
Prohormone definition: A hormone precurser that relies on enzymatic conversion to the active hormone inside the body. Example: 4-AD (diol) relies on enzymatic oxidation of that 3-hydroxyl group to convert it to testosterone. 1-AD relies on that same enzymatic oxidation to convert to 1-testosterone (the ACTIVE hormone in this case). Ironically, some of the most accepted AS (test esters like test enan, test cyp, test prop) are in fact, prohormones. Yes, the esterified test is completely inactive and unable to bind to androgen receptors. A test ester relies on an enzymatic cleavage of that ester group to release testosterone itself before it can do anything. Therefore, by strict definition, they are prohormones. Somehow, this escapes these people, LOL. I have never heard anyone try to say that test esters are a waste of money and don't work. Must be because they are illegal and thus more potent and deserving of the title "anabolic steroid".
Every time this subject comes up, there are people who scoff and swear 1-test isn't an AS but to date, NONE of these people have ever offered any evidence to support their claim; not even ancedotal evidence. Why you ask? Because the simple truth is that it is a steroid. Does the fact that it is legal (for the time being) make it somehow less effective?
Come on now, the structure of the original AS, testosterone, has been changed and manipulated to give us all of the other AS. They are all testosterone derivatives. This is done by adding a methyl or other alkyl group to some position on the steroid rings or adding a double bond or reducing a double bond or some combination of all of those. It's called synthetic chemistry. Take test and add a 1,2-double bond and we call that boldenone. Take boldenone and add a 17-methyl group and we call that methandrostenalone (dbol). Take testosterone and reduce the 4,5-double bond (DHT) and add a 1-methyl group and we have proviron. Get it? It is all just chemical manipulation of testosterone to begin with. So, if I reduce the 4,5 double bond in testosterone and put in a 1,2 double bond to get 1-testosterone, somehow that is not a steroid? That is absurd. But wait, take that same 1-test and add a 1-methyl group (primo) and all of a sudden that IS an AS, right
?
1-Test has a number of features that are quite desirable. The 4,5 double bond in test is absolutely required for it to be aromatized by aromatase to an estrogen. Since 1-test doesn't have that 4,5 double bond, it can't aromatize so estrogenic sides like bloating and gyno risk are absent (kind of like primo; imagine that). It also can not be reduced to DHT so andogenic sides like hairloss and acne may not be as much of a problem. Although, it may be a fairly potent androgen in its own right.
Most of the people scoffing at it have never even tried it. I only know of one person who has made and injected 1-test enanthate. He claims to have gained 7 lbs of water free mass in two weeks on 500 mg ew. He compared it's effectiveness to (gasp) primo. On the down side, he had to stop after two weeks because of the pain.
