Hey, just ordered some Erase Pro which should apparently arrive tomorrow morning (although given the weather at the moment all bets are off!), have a couple of questions before I start.
First off the basics, I'm 23, currently bulking, never taken steroids or anything like that at all. In the world of supplements, all I take are protein, creatine, Animal Pump (preworkout) and Zinc (used to take ZMA, taking Zinc on its own right now as I found ZMA made me sleep through my alarm too many mornings and miss college!)
The reason I got interested in Erase Pro to begin with is that I have some gyno left over from puberty. Now before everyone attacks me, it's quite minor, it's the droopy / puffy nips with some gland behind them, more the "ring" type than the solid lump. I realize of course that people will tell me that surgery is the only option and that even if it's not, I need something a lot stronger than just an OTC / natty product to get rid of them, but my reasoning is that going under the knife would knock out my training for a long time, and while I'm going to an endocrinologist about this the waiting list is massive and it's going to be a couple of months. I'm in Ireland where supplements are regulated as if they're class A amphetamines, even Animal Pak was banned here up until a year or two ago, and Erase Pro is one of the very few test/estrogen supps which is available to simply walk into a shop and buy.
With all this in mind, and based on the many threads I've seen from people who talked about nipple shrinkage as a side effect of Erase and Erase Pro, it's surely worth a shot - definitely the easiest option for me right now.
Basically what I'm wondering is, let's suppose I see no movement whatsoever on the nips front (don't want to get my hopes up at all). I'm bulking at the moment in a big way so not expecting to see any fat loss either, unless Erase Pro can somehow cause you to lose fat even while on a calorie surplus (I'd be amazed if this was possible but I've heard of weirder things). The only other effect therefore is a generally raised level of free testosterone, as less of it will be being used to make estradiol. So my question is, how does this manifest itself? I know higher testosterone = higher gains, but does this mean I should be able to increase my target weight lifts faster than usual in the gym, or does it lead to quicker recovery between workouts or simply more muscle growth than usual from the same amount of work?
In other words, a test boost on its own isn't going to increase muscle at all without an accompanying weight lifting intensity, but what I'm basically wondering is does a product like EP *cause* you to be able to increase your intensity in the gym, or does it result in your gains being better from the same amount of work? While taking it, should I be going into the gym with a mentality of "Right now I'm benching 80kg for 3 sets of 8, let's try 85 or 90 today instead even though I only increased the other day"? Or is it more like "Usually I wait three days before doing the same muscle group again, maybe now I could try it every second day and see how that goes?
Basically just wondering how exactly a higher test level manifests itself and how one can take advantage of it while it's there. I figure even if my main interest is in temporarily trying to alleviate my gyno while waiting for a proper endo appointment, I may as well use the product for all the advantages I can get in the gym and out of it!
Any advice about all of this would be fantastic, and if I sound like an absolute noob it's because I am, but we all have to start somewhere
