Characteristics
Methyl-1,4AD is a 17aa pro-steroid that converts to the illegal anabolic steroid methandrostenolone (Dianabol) at a rate of about 15-20%. It takes one conversion with 3b-HSD to convert methyl-1,4AD to Dianabol which probably happens fairly rapidly in the liver.
Since the average dose of Dianabol is generally 25-50mg/day with most steroid users, it is recommended to use this compound at 2-3x the dose for noticeable effects. While Methyl-1,4AD may have some activity on its own, it would be considered pretty weak until it makes the conversion to Dianabol.
Although this compound does not appear to have any progestational effects, it can convert to estrogen (methylestradiol) at a fairly decent rate. If users are very sensitive to estrogenic side-effects then an aromatase inhibitor may be taken along with this compound. However, if one is using an anti-estrogen with this steroid it begs the question, “why chose this steroid to begin with?” Most of the weight and size gains from this compound come from its estrogen conversion, therefore using an AI would noticeably limit the gains from this compound.
This compound has moderate androgenic effects, therefore users who are sensitive to hair loss should be careful with higher doses. The combined estrogenic and androgenic effects of this compound may lead to excessive prostate swelling, so frequent visits to the bathroom may become a problem. (although all steroids have this effect to degree)
Since this compound readily converts to estrogen it will likely have a lubercative effect on joints, contrary to many modern designer steroids that do not convert to estrogen and tend to cause joint pains. This would make this compound a good choice for bulking cycles where joint comfort is important for heavy weight lifting.
Because higher doses are needed with this compound, more stress is placed on the liver. As with any 17aa oral it is recommended to pre-condition the liver with a liver supporting supplement.
Users who use this at higher doses will experience similar gains to Dianabol including rapid increases in strength and size. Side-effects may include rapid weight gain, increase in blood pressure, bloating, back pumps and acne.
This compound could be used as a standalone for a bulking cycle, however users should be aware that much of the bloat and size gains from Methyl-1,4AD will be quickly lost after a cycle.
