If FOLLIDRONE is bunk & results R placebo Ill take placebo

Okay I'm new here and wasn't sure where to post, since there are a good few Follidrone threads up. But here looks as good a place as any.

Just started on Follidrone after having been on a different anti myostatin supplement for a few months - MHP's MYO-X. Their stuff definitely works, no placebo effect there. I'm a natty trainee of 20 years and was always totally underwhelmed by the likes of whey protein / creatine etc. The follistatin / myostatin thing I've been keeping an eye on for a while since seeing pics of those mice and cows. As sceptical as ever to start with, I was on cloud nine when MYO-X proved a real game changer with my training and gains.

A couple of weeks ago I replaced MYO-X with Follidrone. As yet, THE LATTER of the two is proving to be more potent and bringing even better results, no doubt about it. Right now it's a bit premature to really compare the two, but my mind is already near enough made up. Basically it could be a case of getting double the results at half the price - without exaggeration. MYO-X I think uses follistatin extracted from the yoke membrane of fertilised chicken eggs, so very different to Follidrone's epicatechin.

I've still got some MYO-X to return to and will cycle the two to get a firm comparison. I'll post back at a later date when I'm firmly decided, though what I've seen so far looks fairly definitive in terms of results - Follidrone's the one.

One other thing.... those tubs of MYO-X were always a few scoops missing, Follidrone comes as advertised - all 60 caps.

I have some waterfront land in Florida I'm selling if you're interested.
 
Here is my 5 week update.

Background: 50 years old, been lifting consistently for the past 14 years. Clean weight has always been difficult to add.

Anyway, strength has improved a bit. My workout had many 8 rep sets that I've increased to 10 reps and added 5 pounds. Not earth shattering by any means but pretty noticeable to me for such a short time.

Weight is up 4.8 lbs, so very consistent over the 5 weeks. Waist size remains the same as last reported - down 1 CM.

All things considered, I am very happy with Follidrone.

Considering you would viewed as a veteran lifter after 14 years and to add 2 reps and increased the weight, along with adding lean mass is pretty damn good!

If you're trying to tell me MYO-X is a scam, fine. I know reviews have been mixed, but if it is just egg protein and nothing more then maybe egg protein worked for me. Perhaps I ought to just try cheaper basic egg protein. I know Colker's reputation is dubious and that put me off trying for a long time, but I did get reasonable results from the stuff. I say reasonable because it doesn't even compare to what I'm seeing so far from Follidrone. The fact is though that MYO-X is getting some positive (as well as negative) logs including youtube vlogs so the comparison I'd say is a worthwhile one as someone who's used both - two products claiming the same end result.

Personally, I think the whole product is insulting. Baby making chicken egg protein. The fecunded gallus gallus bull$hit...it's like they're just fking with the consumer. I think you hit it on the head though. Placebo + protein. Spend your money on a decent blend instead of a product who's claims are absolutely unfounded and ridiculous.

I would also add that one capsule of Follidrone is about half the price of one scoop of MYO-X, and for me personally (in terms of gains) just one capsule of Follidrone has been worth about four scoops of MYO-X. HMB, Glutamine, creatine.... I've tried them all. This is something else.

I agree. It seems these days that unless you claim to add 16 lbs of muscle, lose 5 lbs of fat, and add 300 lbs to your big 3 in 8 weeks, people aren't happy.

I have tried so many supps over the years and never found one that delivers like this one.
 
Here is the deal.
Follistatin will not work orally.
Doesnt matter if there isna ton in egg yolks.
So myox is just super expensive egg protein.
It really is insulting to the consumer.

There is another product thst recently came out with the same stuff in it. They post as proof it works a bunch of follistatin studies. No studies regarding the egg yolk...just follistatin studies.
They also claim you really need to eat it for many months for it to work....like 70$ per bottle per month.

Literally...100% scam.

This is why people are skeptical when we release something that we say reduces myostatin...there have been so many bs myo inhibitors...


Finally...there is a real one.
Follidrone
 
I'm on day 3 of Follidrone, too soon to tell for me. I'm excited, though, because the last time I saw this many positive supplement reviews, it was Anabolic Xtreme's Slim Xtreme. It had some crazy crap in it, turns out, but it sure worked. Only fat loss supplement I'd ever taken where I lost 7 lbs. in the first week without trying. Anyway, really looking forward to the following few months.

Im excited for you!
Follidrone is very versatile.
You can bulk or cut with it as it both increases protein synthesis and increases metabolism and fat burning.

There is also no crazy crap in it.
As far as i can see youll actually be more healthy for taking it. I dont know of too many anabolic substances this can be said about.

Good luck on the run bro.

Hey Brundel are you thinking this could be a staple because of the health benefits? Im sure people would do it if the benefits increase or maintain a certain level.. Plus the pump, endurance and lean growth.

I think yes. Its side effects are all healthy.
Increased angiogenesis.
Increased hdl
Decreased triglycerides
Antioxidant
And more makes it a very healthy supp.

The fact that it increases endurance and strength and muscle building potential etc makes you want to run it for the athletic performance properties.
The fact that its also healthy makes it viable to run long term.

Thanks, I'll post my results when I finish. I'll take any health benefits - HDL is fine, but could always go higher, LDL and triglycerides need to come down a bit. I'll be doing another blood draw for an insurance discount in August.

Definitely great for us 40 plus guys! I'm done both bottles and not sure if I'm gonna take a break or continue on. I've been way behind on my log but for me its been a amazing ride. I'm larger, not superman stronger but feeling really good with my new staple. Sorry for hijack ;)

Actually, give it at least 3 weeks. For me, the first 4 weeks I experienced slow, steady endurance increases. Follidrone shines at week 5. I'm an old dog so you may see results sooner.

I noticed them after a week, although I thought they'd be more effective on older guys than younger guys. Hmm

I honestly noticed follidrone working in my first session, the ability to put in more volume and to not tire as much after each set

This is how it was for me as well, but perhaps a little faster than your describing. But I didn't notice anything the first week.
 
It's been the majority of people that notice it in the first week or so and then a few that it has been a couple/few weeks. For me, I noticed it pretty fast but didn't let it get into my head. It wasn't until about day 10 or so that I busted through a PR I had been plateaued at for a few months that I just couldn't deny it anymore. Then two more fell over the next couple weeks. I was running a PL type routine and not high volume, so that could have had a play.

On my second and current run, it was noticeable from the first few days because I am running a modified PHAT routine and have 3 volume days and 2 strength days.
 
Follidrone is in stock at Planetary Nutrition

Get in there while stock lasts.
 
Must buy more...
If I didn't just buy a motorcycle I'd buy 10 bottles to add to my stock right now.. You guys trying to get it are lucky my funds are low...
Lol

I started Follidrone after being on nothing else for months other than a basic pre-workout; speaking to sports nutrition

supplements not the normal supplements I take for health.

Strength-pumps-endurance all up 40% first 3 weeks. I am in week 4 and noticing my body is wanting to go but the previous 3 weeks has taken a toll and I feel my body needs to catch up.

I've had to reorganize my routine the biggest thing being limiting shoulders to once a week instead of Tue. and

Fri. some of the worst doms ever but in a good way. I don't notice anything from the egcg. I am going to stop taking it

altogether.I feel that week 5 will be brilliant because I think my body will have "caught up". This supplement is

transfomative on body composition - I check the scale every six months but gaining while leaning is what's happening,

I'm very adept in sensing what is going on with my body.


the fun thing about the product though are the unbelievable workouts, seriously shocked after some of these sessions when I muse over what 2 little marginal half filled caps provide






update on feelings about week 5

after recovering in week four, week 5 is on par with the first 3 weeks, difference being weight lifted in first 3 weeks now is even lighter... going up with ease, having now to add more weight. Body recomp. with this supplement continues to be brilliant







In an effort to keep some semblance of continuity, feelings about week 6

there has been so far no diminishing of positive results - most notable about week 6, weight lifted has increased the most dramatically of all the weeks so far, I believe all the extra calories consumed to keep up with the demand on the body are important to note... don't be afraid to eat on this stuff, what's brilliant is the continuation of virtually all gain being lean mass. In all seriousness never thought the amount of weight lifted would be possible on a natty alone





week 7

there has been not the slightest abatement in any of the positives aforementioned. Of special note, now workouts are becoming more singular; calf day has become a day unto its own the intensity is such on that one area that's enough of a workout, and indeed I feel like I've been through a thorough workout at that, whereas I've never before had a single day devoted to calves and had the kind of intensity I do now.

Concerning body composition really seeing the results now in week 7 more than in any other so far, in a way I wish I'd taken before and after simply for documentaries sake. One thing I've felt which ought perhaps to be mentioned is the nice way which the compound's profound effect on workouts helps wellness and generally feeling better throughout the weeks I've been on, although as we all know taking this compound in this fashion is relatively new and I am not saying there may not occur some negative side from taking this long term in the future.









week 8

I was wondering if the same thing that happened in week 4 would happen in week 8 and it has. Same as in week four "body is wanting to go but the previous 3 weeks has taken a toll and I feel my body needs to catch up"

it's been light weights and high reps week 8. I don't like it, but there we are, when something is really working you'll notice this. Otherwise all your workouts would be the same no ups and downs but also no growth; it will interesting to see if the rebound into week 9 is of the same magnitude as that into week 5






week 8.5


Tentative Follidrone dosing scheme

week 1 - on
week 2- on
week3 - on
week4 - off "no Follidrone" - very light weight; don't workout the body parts which are sore at all

week 5- on
week 6- on
week 7- on
week 8- off ......

week 9-on
week 10-on
week 11-on
week 12-off

week 13-on
week 14-on
week 15-on
week 16 -off

etc.





I find Follidrone works quite fast felt it upon starting, I believe giving your body a break every forth week is crucial on this.



A break from Follidrone during this week will be the ideal time, I am confident that you will keep the gains made from the previous three weeks during these forth week breaks.



I think this is perhaps the ideal way to dose Follidrone. I don't think the forth week is necessarily "the week" for everyone to take off. It may be every fifth week etc. for you.

i.e. the dosing protocol needn't be "every 4th week" for some the deload / break from follidrone may be the 8th week....on seven weeks off every 8th week, everyone is different...your body will let you know the week believe me.:)


For me it happens to be the forth, I've found my body needs a deload week / break from Follidrone
"Do I feel like taking that week off was mainly about physically recovering from the increased volume/intensity during the follidrone phase, or did stopping the follidrone during that time also allow you to avoid any tolerance and remain more sensitive to its effects?" --both





week 9

"it will interesting to see if the rebound into week 9 is of the same magnitude as that into week 5"





Honestly it took a bit of patience having to wait and see if Follidrone would rebound in week 9 as in week five.

In the back of my mind I knew there was a chance the dosing scheme would not work, hence the reason I used words like tentative and confident instead of certain or sure. It has worked though just as in week 5.

I am up roughly 30% in actual weight able to lift now in week 9 from week 1, transformative recomp, still way less HIIT than normal as the workouts on it are such that I've had to cut HIIT way down to get my resting heart rate to normal. The hunger at the end of deload week 8 was very high.






week 10


The longer I'm on the more I've noticed you needn't get overly concerned with lifting high amounts of weight to build loads muscle on Follidrone. Pay attention to form, focus, use variation techniques and you'll do very well building substantial muscle on this.

Sucks for me I can never break a pr again, back in the day when good prohormones were legal I benched 455 x10 military pressed 395 x10 and did dumbell rows with a 240 pound dumbell for about 8x every workout. no where near that now
