Final Review
Here's my final review of TestoPro. 1st, I'll give the numbers.
Start
Weight - 195
BF% - 13.1
End
Weight - 194
BF% - 13.2
So overall, my beginning and ending stats are pretty much the same. Weight was down 1lb and BF% was up .1%. The BF% was taken with the Tanita scales. I will say that it taken after lunch (not in the morning on an empty stomach for most accurate results) so the variance is like +/- 2.0 %. Also looking back at the weights, I gained 10lbs on most lifts from start to finish. Not bad at all considering the circumstances listed below.
Now with the stats, I'm pretty happy with the results due to the fact that I was sick and didn't lift any weights for a week and also my back was giving me some problems at the beginning of the bottle and I took it a little light on the weights. Also, my diet was less than perfect on the weekends. I would stay relatively clean during the week but on the weekend I pretty much ate what I wanted too. Also, during the week I was sick, my diet was far less than perfect. When I'm sick I turn to food for comfort. Not really bad foods per se, just more of it.
So what did I like and what did I dislike
Pros-
Days 1 - 7 - Increased hunger and deeper sleep (1st week was stacked with Stoked)
Days 8 - 12 - Increased libido, oily skin. Had a couple of pimples come up on my back and face.
Days 13 - 15 - Better recovery between sets and density started coming in. During this time I had multiple people tell me how big my arms looked.
Days 16 - 30 - Sleep was pretty much awesome during this time. Always deep and restful. Recovery was still good and started noticing it more with aerobic exercise as well. I play bball weekly and started noticing in between games while everybody else was grabbing the water bottles and bending over, I was hollering to start the next game. Density was still there, but this is where I got sick so I didn't lift for over a week so it wasn't as prevalent as the earlier phases. Slight alpa male started kicking in at this time-frame. It wasn't an all day thing, but in the gym I always found myself pushing harder than ususal.
Cons - After Days 9 - 12, the appetite went back down to normal. My opinion is the Stoked it what was causing the increased appetite. After I finished the mini-bottle, the hunger was gone.
After about 2.5 weeks, the libido started decreasing. I upped the dosage to 3 caps, twice a day and the libido kicked back up a notch again. At this dosage, the libido stayed high throughout the run. Also, I noticed at this dosage my loads seemed to be larger as well. Unfortunately for my wife, clean-up after sex was messy, lol.
Also, while it's a plus that TestoPro was causing acne, a middle-aged man with a big zit on his forehead was not fun.
Overall feelings
For me the biggest difference while running TestoPro was the deep sleep. During the whole run my sleep was awesome. I'm inclined to wake up 2 to 3 times a night. While taking TestoPro, I rarely woke up at all, and if I did it was because I had to pee. I always woke up well rested and ready to get the day started. I never woke up groggy or dreading the day. I also enjoyed the increased libido quite a bit, although I don't think my wife was to thrilled. The ability to turn on/off the aggression in the gym was nice as well. It was like I was pretty much normal, (mellow and calm) until I purposely made myself mad in the gym to push more weight. When I got mad, it was more of a pissed-off, focused mood.
So, here's the stats that AI wanted to know.
Beginning weight: 195
End weight: 194
Beginning body fat % (approx.): 13.1
Ending body fat % (approx.): 13.2
A general description of your training and diet protocol:
Full body workout 3 times a week switching exercises and reps weekly.
Any effects on mood:
Mood was pretty much baseline unless I got mad. So I guess basically when I got mad, I was angrier than usual but except for the occasional road rage, this was kept in-check and a positive in the gym.
Any effects on libido:
Was moderately above baseline the 1st week or so, then it dropped back to baseline. After upping dosage to 3 caps twice a day, libido was kicking.
Any effects on strength:
Unfortunately I can't really give a accurate opinion on this as my back was giving me trouble at the beginning of the bottle and then I got sick at the end of the bottle. But my weights did go up during my run, but I feel most of it was because I was going light at the beginning to make sure I didn't reinjure my back.
Any effects on endurance:
I could tell a difference in this dept when I upped the dosage to 3 caps, twice a day. Not really so at standard 2 caps, 2 times a day. At 6 a day, I wans't as winded during bball games and recovery between sets were decreased as well.
Miscellaneous comments:Overall I enjoyed my run of TestoPro. But for me the biggest benefit was the great sleep. To many this may not sound like a huge benefit, but you have to remember, quality rest and sleep are needed to build a muscular body. I will say while I liked my TestoPro run, I LOVED it when I was stacking it with Stoked. Alpha Male and libido was kicked into high gear the whole time that stack lasted (1 week)
Overall product rating (1-10 scale): 8 out of 10. I would have given it a higher score, but couldn't because I couldn't accurately judge what this product does for strength which is why many people would purchase this product. I really think TestoPro stacked with Stoked would yield quality gains, and would be especially beneficial for someone looking for a bridge between cycles or for a quality natural stack. But overall, this is a quality supplement that will be finding itself on my shelf in the near future.
