ATD? I have a feeling this is the reason why your Test levels are low.

Supplements used and results: (What I most commonly use on a regular basis)

Creatine - Faster recovery time between training sessions. I take 5g three times a day usually before and after I train and at night before bed.

Beta Alanine - Faster recovery time between training sessions and better work capacity during training. I take 3g twice a day usually before and after I train.

ZMA - helps me sleep which helps provide faster recovery. Take about 45m before bed and try to have an empty stomach. Do not take with calcium.

Name Brands I trust and use consistently:
Controlled Labs Orange Triad - Multi used through out the day so it's not a one time shot and piss away deal. Also provides joint support. I take 2 three times a day. Morning/Afternoon/Evening.

Universal Real Gains - Weight Gainer with just the right amount of calories and great ingredient break down. Maltodextrin as the main carb not fructose/sucrose. Good protein mix of slow and fast digestion. Fats are MCT and from flax. Tastes great. Drink before and after I train and just before going to bed.

Name Brands I have tried and liked:
IntraXCell and SteelEdge From Athletic Edge Nutrition: Here's the final review post I had on those two.

RPM from AppNut. great for a pre-workout wake me up. Like the Steeledge it really gets me moving. I'm taking about 2 right when I wake up as I train early in the morning. Don't notice to much of a difference between taking 2 or 3 but taking 4 was to much. I got all jittery.

Well, Theres a theory that prolonged use will result in muscle loss.

It binds to the AR so tightly. and its not a gear. So it blocks out the endogenous Test (or other exogenous gears) resulting in muscle loss.

Its too sketchy. for every positive thing said regarding it, theres a negative.

Im not sure where i read that it can lower test with prolonged use, so maybe im wrong.

But think about it...If it raises test, why would you have low test results? something is wrong.

You said you just started using it again, and werent using it when you were tested? So i dunno then bro.

I was off it for awhile before my initial blood test for testosterone... but before that I took like two caps a night for 8 weeks...


so...


that theory could very well be true Jay. ATD binds to the AR receptor? I thought it lowered aromatase by binding to the aromatase... I dunno unsure.gif


shit.... I just want to raise my test levels naturally.

ATD is recommended for a max of 8 weeks because it takes est too low to keep it there for very long. Can end up screwing up your lipids, hurting libido, etc.

I generally stick w/ a few basics like whey, multi, c, coq-10, muscle milk, fish/flax oils. Right now I'm running arachidonic acid, so I'm avoiding omega'3 supps for the time. I'm always hitting the clearance rack at GNC, Affordable Supplements, etc, though. Any time I see something of use that's dirt cheap, I'll usually snap it up even if I don't need it immediately.

Do you feel ATD has any benefit for hypogonadism? I was initially under the impression it had a positive effect on it but not so sure any more.

I noticed certain positive things when i used it on cycle briefly as an AI a while back. It appears there was a size increase but not as pronounced as HCG.

At the same time, i noticed a negative change in strength. As if my gear was not as effective.

I read that ATD can be used as a poor mans HCG. Basically a fairly high dose is used as a quick shock to the testes and then you gradually decrease the dosage.

Example:
100mgs ED - days 1-4
50mgs ED - days 5-8
25mgs ED - days 9-12

But i can't seem to find any legit literature stating it has any affect on the gonads.

Posted by: Josh47933 Jun 14 2009, 02:28 AM
I've never messed w/ HCG but hve used ATD a number of times. From things I've read about it, the theory is that it pounds estrogen away and tricks the body into thinking that it needs more estrogen, so it starts cranking out more test, w/ the idea that some of it will aromatize into estrogen.

Gaspari gave that explanation about it in Ironman mag a few yrs. ago when Novedex XT came out and he was interviewed about it. I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works but in 25-50 mg. doses it seems to help.

I never go up to 75 or 100 anymore since whenever I used to it would kill libido for me. As far as hypogonadism, I don't know for sure. If someone had a chronic problem, it wouldn't be a good solution, since they recommend only 8 weeks at a time. In the short term, I think it's a decent option, though. Cheap as hell to buy. I've run it inverse to a SERM in PCT before and probably liked that protocol best.

its a 4-chloro-methyl drug I believe.

from what I remember dung you were fuckin huge and could bench over 400lbs. I was pretty shredded and diesel myself, also got up 405 for one rep a few times. Thats when I was juicing... now I just take supps.

right now im on testofen and 17 hydroxy mesterone. (just ordered the 17 mesterone)

its hard getting shredded natty. you gotta eat like a bird and sacrifice all your size and strength.

fuck that dood!!! at least for me, id rather have some fat, and stay off the roids which made me way too aggressive and an asshole (doesnt happen to everyone but im aggressive anyhow and add that stuff and well you know)

I think I posted the pics back in the day.. I got into a really bad car accident and never really got everything back.. Then They thought I had cancer and I had to get my Colin checked. That sucked, I was all fucked up for a while. No problems, just a really bad bacterial infection. See clumps of blood in your toilet after taking a dump blows.

I was up to 485 at one point.. I was 242 with a 8.5% body fat.. I was huge..

Now I'm 248 with like a 18% body fat.. went from a 36 waist to a 40 waist..

I will never be small, my back and shoulders are huge.. I really just want to get ride of the fat and see how I look. Just don't want to loose a ton of muscle..

my problem is I work 70 hours a week and only go to the gym like 2 or 3 times a week..

creatine phosphate and mono, d-pinitol, piperine probably being the most effective compounds in the blend...i think theres also banaba extract and another herbal thing that i never paid enough attention to learn about...

it defn works better than c mono alone...the pumps are pretty amazing, i followed the instructions to take it with complex carbs but didn't see the results it claimed until I decided to wash them caps down w my post shake which consisted of about 50gms whey protein and 50 gms dextrose...gave the feel and appearance of a solid pumpfor about 3-5 hours after actually training that muscle group...

doesn't do shit on non-training days so dont even bother.
