I am the same strength as you and I also took DAA and it didn`t give any strength boost whatsoever.
You and I should feel a boost it as we are at our maximum strength but nothing.
I also took bloods and there was no testosterone increase.
btw if DAA really boosts T 40% (which I believe it doesn`t),that isn`t at all enough to impact strength in any way.
So I don`t understand people reporting increased strength nor I understand people expecting it.
Maybe over time,when having such a small increase,you would eventually see some minor results but otherwise no.
I am still going to try out Erase,in order to see if it will lower my high E2.
But I am also not expecting any immediate gain from it.
If it doesn`t cause me side effects,I will do bloods,and if they are positive,I will use it over a long period of time,and then I can expect some gains.
DAA and Erase alone work for me...as long as I keep my protein to 200+g/day. If I drop below, I'll slowly taper down or stay the same. It's clockwork for me...which I kind of find really neat. I am also in the same range as you guys... 3 x 12 @ 275 lbs bench, 3 x 10 @ 315 lbs squat, 3 x 8 @ 90 lbs dumbbell shoulder press for my usual routine of maintenance(just trying to keep what I got), and actually trying to get leaner and if I lose a bit of strength I am ok with that. I am also at my physical peak...where noticeable changes can be seen with little deviation from my standard protocol =/ kinda depressing.
As a reply to your conclusion
Kainalu, I think you are reporting 'BAD BAD BAD BAD' but fail to demonstrate a legitimate protocol... I kinda feel like you're trying to bash everything and everyone b/c you simply didn't make any results, I feel frustration in the tone of your post. This happens to everyone. Instead of bashing perhaps you should review your lifestyle(drinking, stressed sleep,etc.), diet and training politely state your results with more information. And then you wrote your post subject as THE TRUTH, ....eh...come on buddy....that's just rude....it's the truth for you for whatever reason but not for others.
A lot of people put time, $ and hard work into this (bodybuilders and companies), into something they enjoy...anmd it just feels like your post is sort of tyrant-like "it is sucks for me it will suck for everyone else" =/
I'd recommended being more scientific to your results.
Not hating on you & Good Luck,
