COMPETITIVE EDGE LABS M-TEST
I have not tried a test booster in a decade or more and really never thought i would.
But ive become a huge fan of CEL and I would very much like to try and see how M-Test treats me.
Also im now 42 years old and probably prime target for such a product.
DOSING
I will follow the recommended dosage which means 3 caps in the AM and 3 caps in the PM.
STARTING STATS
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 83,5 kg
Body Fat: 10% (Using an Aria Fitbit Scale)
MY DIET
The last couple of years ive been following The Vertical Diet by Stan Efferding and ive never felt better. The diet revolves around getting enough of all the micronutrients thru a solid food selection and having optimal digestion.
Right now im running a slight caloric deficit.
Reason is basically last 3 months has been hell on my family. My fiance lost her mother unexpectantly and left us with caring for her father which has dementia and Parkinsons. So she basically had to move in with him while I took care of the kids and the house. So we had to get him into a home and also sell their house to pay for the home. On top of that we have Covid etc etc. This just required me to eat more to be able to be on top of everything.
But now it has calmed down a bit so I can lean out a bit more because thats how i like to look.
Also I usually do a "eat all you want" saturday evening, so it makes sense to keep the calories a bit lower during the week haha.

MY TRAINING
Strength training
Ive been following the programming from
https://www.fitnessculture.com/ for a bunch of years now and it suits me really well. Im doing their SWOLE program which is 6 workouts a week and we go thru the body twice during a 8 week rotation. Usually its 4 weeks work then 1 week deload.
Cardio
The programming from FitnessCulture has cardio included, but i dont do any of that. Ive instead followed Stan Efferdings suggestion on doing 2-4 ten minutes walks post meals every day. The reasoning behind these walks are that they will improve insulin sensitivity, decrease gas, improve digestion, decrease DOMS and aid in recovery. I also walk my dog a couple of times a day. I usually get from 15k to 20k steps each day.
Mobility
I finish off every workout with the daily
https://romwod.com/ which stands for Range Of Movment Workout Of The Day. So every day they drop a new workout that improves your mobilty. Basically its a series of long held stretches and it takes 20-25minutes to complete. Once a week they program a Warrior routine that takes around 45 minutes which i also do.
EXPECTATIONS
So this is where i have to get a bit personal. Im a life time natty but I have some gyno from somewhere. I might have had pubertal gyno when i was young, but I cant remember it and at that time i didnt know such a thing existed.
The first time i REALLY noticed it and understood what it was, was when i was taking Isatori Bio-Gro ages ago. I remember being called out on using that and people claiming I lost my natty status then. Well I sure got the sides at least.
After that I can get flare ups from the most random things. ZMA, Ashwagandha, Zinc, and even Beta-Alanine. So i dunno really whats going on. Living in Sweden i cant get a decent blood test either to check everything.
So because of that I have only purchased 1 bottle of M-Test and I will just have to try and see how it affects me. If I dont get sides I will probably pick up a bottle or two more!
Now I just want to make this clear, M-Test does NOT give gyno. Im apparently just super sensitive to some stuff.
So if we look past all that and focus on what i HOPE it will do:
+ improve recovery
+ improve lean muscle and strength
+ increased sex drive and libido
Hope to see people follow along as I have more in store for later!
