I'd like to thank AN for giving me a chance to try out The One. It's been a fun ride but today is the last day before the bottle is gone. Now on to the review...
Cycle
20 days- 4 Capsules a day in one dose around 10am
10 days- 3 Capsules a day in one dose around 10am
Support products
From start
Centrum Multi
Protein*
Creatine*
Added around day 20(To combat some back pump issues)
Vitamin C
Hawthorne Berry
Potassium
Niacin
Taurine
*Around day 20 when I was getting back pumps I stopped the creatine which was part of my protein mix. So I have been off of protein/creatine from this time on
Goals
It was to increase strength while not having too much of a negative impact on my running that I have been doing to prepare for a physical fitness test and to lose weight.
Rough Beginning stats
230
5'8"
Unknown BF% but pretty high. I hold a lot on my obliques etc
Max Lifts
Only known max at this time was my bench press as I had entered a gym competition and pushed 350 on flat bench
Ending stats
241
Still high BF%
Max Lifts
Yesterday I put up 400 and probably could of put up another 5-10 pounds but didn't risk it. To be fair, I probably could of done the same at the bench comp(another 10 pounds) but didn't want to risk a second lift since earlier that day someone had torn a pec on a relatively light weight for him. I was also benching about 420 last October and had lost my strength after picking up running. This isn't a PR per se but still a nice gain.
Review
Muscle Hardness
I felt this was one of the more 'cool' factors of this product. Being able to feel the muscle made wanting to work it, more of a challenge than a chore. I have horrible legs but when I could physically feel separation(albeit through fat) It made me look forward to leg day and put forth that much more effort.
Mucle Gain
The areas I could visually see are limited and I will go for them first. Rhomboids/traps had to rear visiblity and by the end of the cycle i could find some emerging. Outer quad has a slight definition or curve to it. My legs are my own fault but I have hit them hard and although you probably couldn't tell too much on the changes, I can. The gains I have got in my leg strength have made me look forward to legs now allowing me to make gains that I wasn't able to get before
Pumps
The pumps on The One are extremely 'nice'. I have been on products were the pump was there but left a couple hours tops after the workout and I've had them last all day but any flexing of that muscle would lead to cramps that would be painful as hell. This was a great inbetween; solid pumps that lasted for pretty much the entire cycle. Howev er, about week three while on a run my lower back cramped up on me for the first time and it damn near crippled me that day. I got scared because of the PT test coming up and thought aobut quitting the cycle. After speaking with Easy, I added some supplements, dropped to 3 capsules and increased my water. While my pack pumps never went away they did not hurt to the point where I could not run or workout. I just had to cut back on my pace a little.
Strength
Strength went up in every category. Because of my weak lower body I got a lot of PR's in things like squats and deadlifts. Even pushed my dumbell curls to a 65pound/8 reps PR. Squat 315pound/6 and although not a PR over all it was a PR this cycle 400 pounds/1 flat bench and 375/5
Endurance
I found my weight room endurance had went up but due to the back pumps i wasn't able to really test this in a cardio environment. I was getting more reps in at higher weights on most of my exercises
Motivation/Focus
The first 4 hours or so after taking TO I would get a semi-caffeine type of energy. The drive from noticing new muscle hardness and pumps gave me the mental edge I needed to push an extra rep in or go up an additional 5-10 pounds wher I may have just quit earlier.
Mood
My mood did not change. No aggression issues or an Alpha Male sense outside of what I normally get or have.
Appetite
You can look at my size and see I don't have an issue with eating. i didn't notice a huge difference in this area either outside of what i normally go through when hitting the gym hard or doing a lot of physical activities.
Health related
The last week of my cycle I get a liver function panel done. My enzymes proved to be normal with average blood pressure readings in the 140's/70's. On occassion it would go into the high 140's/low 80's. My average, off cycle BP is around 120-130's/low 70's. No nose bleeds, headaches, puffy nipples*, acne or additonal hair loss from my MPB.
*I had a pea sized lump under both nipples from previous cycles. These disappeared while on cycle. This has happened before and came back after PCT was over. I'll have to report back in a month or two with a follow up.
Sleep
Sleep at first was hard because it seemed as if my internal thermometer went crazy and decided to cook me inside out lol. After a week or so that normalized and my sleep pattern quickly went back to normal. This last week I have had a bunch of weird dreams but not sure if I can say that has anything to do with TO or not.
Summary
I believe this is a nice product by itself and would benefit greatly as a weight loss cycle(which i'm going to run soon) moreso than a stand-alone muscle builder unles it's your initial run with an anabolic. With relatively no sides, I think it's worth the price tag and would recommend it to anyone looking at going into a hormone assistated(legal) cycle. The bonus is that it comes with it's own PCT which makes it even more of a deal. A great additon to the anabolic world, AN!
My personal opinion is that this will emerge as a product that would give a bonus to other compounds taken in either a stacking or bridge-like cycle for insane muscle gains, for those who have a history of PH/AS use and want something more potent without having to go too harsh on other orals. I think the opportunities to see exciting new cycle plans are now available through The One and I plan on taking advantage of one in the near future.
Please feel free to ask any questions on anything I may have left out or not covered completely enough.
