Hey Guys,
I posted this in the steroid forum but thought i'd throw it in here too. Basically I'm here to provide a bit of information on my experience with natural test boosters, and I'm also after some informed opinions.
Background:
I'm 25, have been working out on and off since I was 19, have done a proper test cycle once when i was 21 (which i regret as i was far too uneducated when it came to training and diet), but since then have just been working out with nothing other than protein supplements. Before starting with the test boosters I was a lean 79kg (174 lbs) but not sure of exact body fat %.
Training routine:
For the past few months I've been combining a power lift routine with kettle bell workouts throughout the week, which has worked better than anything else I've tried when it comes to strength & size gains. won't go into detail unless anyone thinks it necessary.
Diet:
Obviously this varies from day to day but a typical day would like like this.
7am
- generous serving of oats with oat milk
- 1 serving of vital greens
- 100g turkey breast
9:30am
- apple
10:30am
- banana
- Up n Go shake
1pm
- half chicken (large)
- small salad
3pm
- chocolate milk
6pm
- medium steak (300g)
- mixed vegies (brocolli, carrot, etc.)
8pm
- gainer shake (post-gym)
10pm
- turkey breast (200g)
So now for the interesting part. A couple of months back I was entertaining the idea of doing another cycle once i'd hit a goal weight naturally. I did a bit of research and I notice a lot of guys on these forums are recommending the natty test boosters for PCT use. Based on this, I decided to order the following 3 products:
- Unleashed
- Forged Post-cycle
- HCGenerate
I decided that i'd try a 1 month cycle (the length of the recommended PCT with these products) without touching my cycle first to see what the effects of these products are on a natural body. I took 1 cap of Unleashed and 1 cap of the post-cycle when i woke up with food, and before bed too. In the last 3 days of the month i decided to throw the HCGenerate into the mix. This is the outcome:
The Good:
Let me start by saying these products are NO JOKE. with the Unleashed and post-cycle i noticed almost immediate (and significant) increases in strength, aggression, elevated energy & mood, and i had a tent permanently pitched in my pants.
But the most interesting part? I somehow gained 5kg (11 lb) in total weight throughout the month!
The Bad:
As soon as i added HCGenerate into the equation (only for 2 days), I went through what felt a lot like natural test shutdown. This was confirmed by my ball size seeing a significant reduction at the end of last weekend.
So, my first question for the informed people on this forum is - what do you think I should do to help myself bounce back ASAP? Should i continue with only 1 of the 3 products for awhile? stop them altogether?
and secondly, how could these products possibly help with PCT when they themselves cause shutdown? Maybe taking 3 at once was stupid, but the Unleashed and post-cycle are a recommended stack, and HCGenerate is marketed as an alternative (only less effective) to HCG, which is used to maintain and restore natural test production. Can someone shed any light here?
Thanks in advance!
