Starting a 2 week "ONE" experiment today.

[growin']

Current stats:
Age 24
Weight 219
BF ~15%
training for 9 years
4 previous steroid cycles
currently natural

I started this morning with 6 squirts of ONE right after I shaved my chest. I did not find it oily as some had mentioned, but it did began to burn soon after application. It was totally dry after about 5 minutes. Tomorrow, I may not shave right before appication, even though that would improve PH uptake. I think I will let my skin adjust to the 1-Test for the next couple days to avoid excess irritation, once I'm used to it I will shave before application.

I will be consuming around 4000 calories with a 30p/40c/30f split. Training will be volume based to elicit greater hypertrophy, and will be performed 4 days per weak. Emphasis will be a bit more on Arms for once, I typically focus more on core lifts. I will also perform 1 day of cardio. I took last week off, I train 6 on 1 off to rest the nervous system and avoid Over Training. Can't wait to work out today!!!

Today is day 3 of my ONE experiment. I am up half a pound so far. It will be interesting to
see what my bodyfat is on Monday, I swear I already feel leaner, despite the fact that I am
eating what I normally eat to bulk! This is one of the great thing about juice. Monday's workout was pretty
normal. I seemed to get through my second workout very easily. This was what it felt like
on steroids. Weights just seem easier. There must be some neurological boost going on here.
I have a feeling this stuff will turn out alot like a fina or primo cycle. You won't blow up
and get puffy like a gram of test would do, but you'll gain lean muscle while keeping water very
low. Two weeks from now, I plan on looking pretty good. I may be wrong though.

So far, no loss of sex drive, no tiredness, no irratability, no "roid rage". I wasn't even agressive on test, dbol,
or fina, so this doesn't really surprise me. I am always pretty male. I do feel very confident,
more so of an alpha male, which I guess pretty much describes me.

Great info, growin'. I'm considering One, as well. Sounds like you're taking this experiment seriously, so I'm eager to hear your results. Keep us updated!

I should also note, at first there was some SERIOUS burning with ONE. I shaved my chest and abs then applied ONE. It got very hot after a few seconds. During my second application, I applied a little to my inner thighs- BIG MISTAKE. Some of it must have rubbed against my nutsack, OH MY GOD WAS THAT UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!! On my second and third day, the burning continued to diminish, especially on the third day as there was almost no burning at all.

It would be a very good idea to put in contacts and wash your face before applying ONE. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have this in your eyes.

Also, within about 15 minutes of application, I seem to immediately wake up in the morning, as much as I would with a cup of coffee, but I do not feel wired. . It seems to really invigorate, again leading me to believe it has a strong action on the nervous system.

I'm going train arms again in a few hours. I am very surprised, I have no soreness in my arms at all, and I beat the snot out of them on Monday. I feel ready to go. I will apply my first dose of ONE after my workout today. I had been applying ONE upon waking on workout days, but I usually hit the gym at around 11:00am, and that only lets the PH absorb for 4 hours. By applying after workouts, hopefully I will maximize results. On non workout days, my first application is right away in the morning.

Here's my dosing times:

Workout Days(M,T,R,F)
1. 12:00pm
2. 10:00pm

Non-Workout Days(W,S,Sn)
1. 7:30am
2. 10:00pm

One additional note, I have been applying 90% of this to my chest and shoulders, and they are starting to get a little dry/rashy. I am going to mix up sites a bit more now. This dryness does not really sruprise me, as its winter here in MN, and my apartment and office are both very dry.

Finally, 6 squirts of ONE is much easier to manage than 12 sprays of Androspray. Once spread, it seems to be completely dry in about 5 minutes with no residue left behind.

 

[2demon2]

Sounds good. I'm probably going to order One soon, possibly tonight. So if you're doing a two-week cycle, do you hope to have enough left for another two-week cycle in the future? If I remember correctly Avant's site said that the dosage you're using will yield enough for a month.

Keep us updated!

Hey Growin', thanks so much for this detailed account, I'm definitely following and appreciate the time you're putting into it. I'm going to get some too and try to report as accurate as you've been. There's a couple of other products we really ought to check out, however, such as Molecular Nutrition's Boldione and 3-Alpha, perhaps I'll check out those. Thanks again.

Growin', one other thing...you're obviously pretty familair with exercises and workout routines, I'm looking for a strength building routine to help me with my grappling strength. I'm considering buying a book by Charles Poliquin called Modern Trends in Strength Training, but in the meantime if you have any tips I'd appreciate hearing them.

 

[growin']

I now have Poliquin Principles, Modern Trends, and Winning the Arms Race-haven't read this one yet, just got it for Xmas. Modern trends is pretty much a bust. I'd pay about $15 for it in hind sight. Don't get me wrong, it has lots of good info, but you can get all of it from past issues of testosterone.net, ie: look back 2-3 years. His first book, Poliquin Principles, however is great. I am an even bigger fan of Ian King. You can also find him at testosterone.net, and his book is great too. Ian uses a slightly lower volume approach, and approaches periodization a little more thoroughly, both of which have helped me alot.

I thought I'd comment a bit on today's workout. IT WAS AWESOME!!! The weights seemed to go up very easily, so I ended up using 5-10lbs more than anticipated on most lifts. I also had unusually good muscular endurance, my last sets were almost as good as the first few.

I have been hungry all day long!!! I wanted to wait a few days to see if this feeling was consistent, and it really is. My appetite is through the roof. Reminds me of being on EQ. The wife asked me if I was back on the sauce last night because I kept eating. HEHE. Nope, just ONE baby!!

Good stuff. Can't wait to weigh in! Although I think this stuff works well when training for hypertrophy, I think it may work even better for strength. During my next "experiment", I will definately try a more PL based routine.
