| | | Testosterone I am not understanding this.. I looked it up and all I could find is stuff about a sexual drive. Does someone have an article I can read, or any knowledge of this.
Few questions I'm looking to answer..
When you increase testo what happens?
How much should you increase?
How does an increase benefit?
Recommended to take testo enhancers?
What to watch out for.. to make no mistakes.. no harm to yourself? |

| | | Higher testosterone generally correlates with higher strength and better gains. To use a "testosterone enhancer" like Alpha Male or Tribulus, generally isn't recommended to people under 22-25 because it can interfere with normal testosterone production. It's not something you really want to play around with, because it can mess with your sex drive and muiscle gains (among other things) for the rest of your life. |

| | | Increased test means better fat burning, more muscle building, more aggression, more secretion of oils, increased sexual drive...etc.
the problem is, if you don't naturally increase your own test production, your body stops making its own testosterone. this is why you hear about steroids shuttind down and shrinking your testicles...
There's the gist of it: there is NOTHING out there that is legal in the USA that is going to boost your testosterone levels. Tribulus is bunk. Alpha male is likely also bunk.
There are probably a few herbal formulas that escaped the FDA ban, but I wouldn't use them. non-standardized formulas, and a lack of post cycle therapy (which helps clean the liver and jumpstart the testicles into producing test again) can cause permanent damage to the endocrine system.
99% of men have more than enough test to build big muscles. the ones that don't can get test/hormone replacement therapy through their doctor.
Otherwsie your only option is to get big naturally, and then delve into the realm of anabolic steroids. done right, they are relatively safe...but they are NOT an option until you have fully exhausted your natural ability, which means 3-5 years of proper training and nutrition under your belt. |

I was just seein if it'll be useful since I'll be throwin it out if its not.. Plus I knew nothing of testosterone so I needed some info to better understand.
Someone said it must be expired but its not til' 08' It was purchase online so whether it came from the USA it most likely didn't since all the talk about a ban.
Thanks for all the info though.. I won't be taking them in that case. Appreciate it. |

| | | 18-19 is WAY TOO YOUNG to be messing with test boosters/enhancers (not to put words in Mreiks' mouth, but i'm sure this was his point). |

| | | at 18-19 you should be producing enough test for some of us older guys to be able to borrow some. keep it natural and your gains will be all that more impressive. |
