Hello all,

If you want the quick questions skip to paragraph 2

I want to start off with a little history on myself and why I'm out of the supplement loop. I'm a ex powerlifter who went strong competing for 6 or 7 years. Currently I have around 10 years experience lifting in general. I also have a history in physical therapy (medical school). Anyways life got so busy and hectic that I wasn't able to maintain working out 5 and 6 days a week. I decided to take a couple months off and when I came back to my gym my entire 8-man powerlifting group fell apart. Half stopped lifting and the other half changed gyms. I had a hard time getting motivated and fell out of the powerlifting circuit for 3 years. Never relaized how bad I felt until I started lifting again. Currently 2 months in and I'm in love again!

I typically just stick with a decent protein amino acid as a mainstay. Back when I powerlifted I would occasionally do Vita packs, test boosters and did a pro hormone once or twice. Currently I'm looking for something that will help raise my test levels with out water gain or negative weight gain. (The last 3 years test levels have plummeted) looking for a good lean muscle gainer that actually works. I feel like nowadays only 5% of products actually help with anything and the rest is just banking on your hard work and dedication (which I don't mind doing) just hoping to find a solid product with out going through a bunch of duds first!

What are you looking for in a test booster? I am 51 and I have used many natty test boosters for the boost in libido, better sleep and over all sense of well being. I have used all the following and will use again.

Really looking for something to help gain muscle and have better energy during physical task. My recovery time as also went through the gutter comparatively to when I was powerlifting. My beard growth and other things related to test has been lack luster as well. But honestly if I had to narrow down I would say I wanted for lifting performance reasons. My body also has a horrible tendency to hold weight no matter what I do. Even when I power lifted and worked out 20 plus hours a week I had to watch what I ate while my powerlifting teammates could sit there and eat Twinkies while doing the same workout routine as me. I've just been so out of the loop for the last 3 years that I couldn't even name any new supplement companies plus this industry changes so fast.

First things first, welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have some solid training experience under your belt.

I think the hard work and dedication part is definitely still the biggest factor in overall success. There are a few products that come to mind that can help push you in the right direction, but nothing will work unless you put the work in. Also, nutrition is the other massive piece to the puzzle when it comes to energy, recovery, and fat loss. I always suggest to dial in nutrition before adding in supplements - it will save a ton of time and money. What's your diet looking like?

The top natural test boosting products that always get the best feedback are Alphamax, M-test, and K1ngsblood. I've personally never used K1ngsblood, but from what I read people seem to really enjoy it. If your goal is to improve body composition and help natural hormone levels ,Alphamax would be a solid choice. It contains a few tested/studied ingredients to help boost test levels naturally, and it also contains a natural AI to help control estrogen and cortisol. Alphamax also contains forskolin (to support fat loss and body composition) as well as ZMA (for improved rest and recovery). Overall it's an incredibly well rounded product, and IMO would be a great fit for where you're at currently

I'm assuming you are asking me about Vector.
The majority reviews of Vector are positive. I'd say 98%.

My experience with Vector has been nothing short of stellar and have stated in that thread the various aspects on how.

  • Better sleep, and vivid dreams
  • Muscle Fullness
  • Power Output has increased along with endurance
  • My body is recomping and I can see it in the mirror (I am on a cut)
  • Mood has improved, and I have more aggression / assertiveness

Have you been to your family doctor or an endocrinologist? They can do a full test for low testosterone and hypothyroidism with blood analysis.

I haven't been for a couple years. In Ohio you have to be dying before they will do anything. When I had my work done 3 or 4 year ago they stated my test levels was okay (not stellar) however the biggest thing was my insulin levels where out of wack. From what they said is I'm not a diabetic but my body produces twice as much insulin as a normal person but my insulin has half the potency. These to counteract each other but since my body is always pumping insulin into it I store fat much easier but I also build muscle much easier than most people. I asked him what can we do to fix this and they just wanted to put me on diabetic medication even though I'm not diabetic. Either way I'm not a fan of doctors I don't believe they try to cure I believe they try to make customers.

Either way I was always that guy throwing up good weight while eating lean protein and veggies. If I worked out 3 plus hours a day (which was a reg occurrence) I'd still have to eat like I was leaning out for a show.

A GDA might help. See these threads

I would suggest Somnidren-GH. Checks all the boxes you laid out and then some.

Somnidren-GH ULTRA™ is a target response sleep and growth hormone potentiator formulated to maximize recuperative REM sleep and natural growth hormone production while reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting a favorable anabolic environment while sleeping.*
It's 50% right now too here. (code MAY50 in checkout).

Does MST sell samples of Somnidren-GH???
Unfortunately, we do not have samples in stock at the moment but a sample wouldn't do you much good, as the results are cumulative. It's 50% right now if you use MAY50 in checkout. Worth it.
