BREAK IT DOWN
Ok so I'm convinced of at least 1 of 2 things. Either I have low testosterone naturally and its time to take these results to a physician (I'm only 6 points over the lowest of normal... wtf?), or I needed to have drawn this out to 8 weeks. Do I feel like I have low testosterone? Not really. I feel like my energy is up, I'm never sluggish, my penis works when its supposed to, but there is definitely a lack of random hardons with the exception of some morning when I almost snapped my **** in half which I blame on Licogenix lol. Also my sex drive at this moment, unfortunately, is very low. The fiance and I decided to not do anything sexual until our wedding night to make it more fun, and that started on 4/28 and I'm sure that doesn't help.
Here is what we need to take away from this: Testosterone DID increase, markedly. I was expecting at least 500 and I think that if I was to keep going for another 4 weeks that this would most likely be achievable! Also, estrogen was not only suppressed, it was LOWERED! And that is one hell of a thing to take away from this whole log.
It WILL increase your testosterone.
It WILL decrease your estrogen.
It WILL NOT give you any joint pain whatsoever. Now when I was running Erase I didn't notice any joint pain either so maybe I have some good joints, but something to note: I feel like my joints have actually improved since I started taking Licogenix. Not necessarily stronger, but just feeling better. Softer. Not locked up. More flexible and better ease of movements. I was able to squat deeper than I have before and not have the typical post-squat walking with the popping from all of my joints including hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, and elbows. And when your joints feel better/stronger, that only helps in making your muscles work that much better as well. So I'm definitely digging Licogenix for that!
It WILL lean you out! I will be posting my final pics here a little later tonight. I don't want to do it right now because I just ate lunch and I'm a little bloated. And the bloat is something I've noticed happens when I eat all the time right now. But DJ, isn't that bad? Actually for me its an indicator that Licogenix is doing what it is supposed to do. Before when I would eat I wouldn't notice the bloat because IT WAS HIDDEN UNDER THE FAT ANYWAY. Now that I've cut down, I've noticed the inner V that runs down inside the hips towards the crotch. Never had that. The obliques are starting to peak out. Never had that. My chest seems fuller and more cut, and the tops of my abs, which have always been very visible, are even more so now and I have a nice little cut right down the middle of the abs. My arms and shoulders seem fuller and more veiny. I'm noticing cuts everywhere that didn't used to be there and I love that feeling. So now I notice when my stomach puffs out from eating a lot of food because there isn't so much fat sitting on top of it now to disguise the bloat

THE FINAL SAY
Athletix Sports has done it yet again, and I have to give them a wholehearted TIP OF MY HAT
when it comes to Licogenix. The product just works. And it does so effectively. The numbers should prove that to everyone. And the pictures should prove that to everyone who thinks the numbers are skewed
Combining Licogenix with the rest of their stack (Div1, TitaniumXL, and Formula X) is the winning combo for achieving leanness, increase test, decrease estro, and prophylactic-ly protecting the joints. These little blue pills have become my friends, and I will enjoy finishing off the rest of my bottle. And JD I just received the unlabeled bottle of Titanium XL (lol). Much appreciation sir.
The dosing went like this: 1 pill 4 times a day which bumped up to 6 pills 3 times a day after the first week. The past few days I've actually been taking 3 pills right away preworkout just to see if I feel a difference (total for the workout day: 7). Noticed a little help in the pump department actually...
A BIG THANKS TO ATHLETIX AND JD for making this happen. You guys rock and are a staple now in my supplement lineup. I just need a TShirt now
Thank you all for following this log and keeping up with my progress, and for all the kind words. Pictures will be up tonight and will close up this log
!
THANK YOU ALL!!!
Stay tuned!
