Final Thoughts on LG Sciences pBold:
Overall, I was very pleased with pBold. It was easy to dose, did not have a bad initial or after taste and seemed to deliver some solid results in the way of strength gains. I did not change my eating habits, did not change my training habits (unless I was injured, in which case I rested more) and did not change my other supplements. I feel like I was able to make some dramatic strength increases and perhaps could have made even better gains had I not been injured. Here are some examples:
Flat Barbell Bench Press:
Starting - 205# x 8 reps
Ending - 245# x 8 reps
Difference - +40#
Barbell Back Squats:
Starting - 275# x 5 reps
Ending - 320# x 5 reps
Difference - +45#
I could perform more sets of push ups and my muscular endurance seemed to increase even though I was performing mostly strength and power training. My weight changed a little from the start to the end. At the start, I was weighing in around 190-192#. At the end, I was floating around 197#. Whether it was fat or water, I am unsure. That is what skinfold measurements are for.
Would I use pBold again? I think so. I ran pBold alone (in terms of using a muscle builder) to see what sort of results it would deliver. Could my result have been from a placebo effect. I suppose it is possible. But I will be measuring body fat and taking girth measurements to compare size from before and after. I don't think changes in body composition can really be placebo... Anyhow, if I ran pBold again, it would most likely be stacked with another strong muscle building product to hopefully produce a more synergistic effect.
I want to thank everyone who followed along and supported me through the log. I really appreciate it. I hope my log was able to help people decide whether or not this product was for them. If you have any feedback or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Again, thank you.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
