Prohormones, whose tried them? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

sadatx · 04-09-2004, 01:05 AM

I started lifting again (something I haven't done in eight years since high school) about two months ago and have been looking around the web for general info since it's been awhile. I'm following Body for Life, so I'm not just lifting without any plan, but I like to gather as much info about something as I can.

Anyone I've been reading about prohormones, which I don't remember being popular when I was in high school, and have really only heard of them prior to this cause of Mark Mcguire taking andro.

Considering they might be illegal in a year or so because of legislation in the works, I was wondeing if they were worth getting and if anyone had tried a cycle of PH's and what the results were.

I don't think I'd want to try them right away, but probably in seven or eight months if I tried them at all.

Here's the most complete info I've found so far on PHs:

And here are some sites that discuss prohormones:

I proposed a similiar thread a while ago and didn't get a lot of feedback but have done some research on the web. Seems like you have done the same. Because of the looming threat of legislation I went ahead and bought what I want to try just in case it is not available later. In a couple of months I plan on doing a four week cycle of 1AD stacked with 4AD then 60X0 post cycle to boost natural testosterone production back to normal. I'd go ahead and try it now but I've started a new work-out routine and want to get that all buttoned down first and the possible side effects could conflict with some projects I have going on now as well. Of course if I make fantastic gains in the next couple of months I may opt out, but I'm pretty curious so I'll probobaly do the cycle. Wish I could give you more of the user reviewer info that you want b ut I don't have the info yet. After my cycle I'll post my experience. BTW, The Vitamin Shoppe had a pretty good sale on what I wanted so I was able to buy without killing my wallet. You can find some good prices on line as well.

I think that PH's if used at all, should be only tried AFTER you've tried your darndest and trained yourself to your absolute biological maximum. (and that definitely won't come after just 8 months.... )

The health risks that you take do not justify the slightly accelerated growth that you get with PH's, and you can make all those gains naturally.

If you want to exceed your biological limits, they might be useful, but the pro bodybuilder type body looks freaky and ugly to me anyway.

Don't substitute your health for quick gains. Probably not worth it in the long run.

I agree with most of what dimbulb said. Its best to see what plain old hard work, protein and time will do for you. ( I also think creatine is a nice addition). If you use them before you have exhausted your body's potential you might just be wasting money. If however after you reach a really good level of fitness and have plateaued you wanted to try it then just consider the risks and decide if its worth it to you. Also, the younger you are the more testosterone you have racing through your system anyway so that's something else to consider.

I have tryed them and i found prowhoremones to be useless... nothing like the real McCoy...

I guess it all depends on the situation. If you are a hard gainer, and can gain any kind of weight or strength with just diet and a good training program then you can give 'em a shot. The 1AD, 4AD, and 6OXO stack I know works. As long as you keep your protein up real high, and train like it’s your job, you will gain some size and weight.
