Just saw this about TEST1FY...sorry and surprised that you were not a fan. I always experience some nice effects...pumps me up pretty well! Everyone is different though.

No more natty builders? Not going to be on the K1NGS SLAYER train?

Yea in the meantime nothing besides staples.

The issue with natty boosters is that they work really well for people who have lower test by freeing up more testosterone. However for a younger guy like you who probably has good testosterone levels you are simply not going to feel it as much. I would look into them later in life perhaps just not now.

Great session today and went heavier than last week on some exercises. Today is a cheat day so i’ll be going off the rails. Hopefully i have some more pics to post later. No macros today
I start phase 3 tomorrow as opposed to Monday. Need to adjust schedule because Friday i’ll be going to Slayers final tour so taking that as my rest day.

While I think this is generally the case with 98% of the test boosters out there due to poor quality extracts. TEST1FY has the quality, but it also has some anabolic attributes which liken it to feel somewhat similar to what some people got out of running ABE with some arimistane for example. TEST1FY isn’t just your garden variety blend with a big blast of stinging nettle. :)

It's not the case with 98% of Natty Boosters so much as the case with 98% of anyone using a testosterone booster. If your HPTA is already running pretty optimally then you are simply not going to get as much out of the product. This is the case with all test boosters, if this one were different then he would likely have gotten more out of it. I am not saying that there aren't effective ingredients in there but it was obviously found lacking in this instance. Rather than blame it on the product I explained why it was that way with all test boosters.

Yes some can stimulate LH, and modulate estrogen receptors and what not but the major factor in all of them is the freeing up of bound testosterone. It is also the one that you feel the most. Nothing wrong with it but yeah unless in PCT most younger guys don't truly get a lot of our testosterone boosters. If LH is already up, and everything else is purring and finely tuned then there isn't much to improve.

Please don't take it as a knock toward the product. Just talking about biology here at this point.

Haha. It is good. I’m no beer expert but it’s an 8% that doesn’t taste like it. Not bitter like you would get from some stouts. Very smooth. That’s as best as I could describe it.

I’m not disputing any of that. It’s just the fact that we can’t simply say that TEST1FY is a test booster when it is that, but it is also geared to be a natural anabolic in its own right. I was mostly surprised that he did not feel those benefits. Some increased muscle fullness, appetite, pumps etc..

However, just like how ABE (natural anabolic built around a common ingredient) had plenty of non responders...it seems that our man here fell into that category :)

Yeah and he may have gotten something out of that but was expecting more of a higher testosterone feel and since he didn't get that may have been a little let down even though the rest worked. Who knows.

What is the specific ingredient in there that is responsible for the "natural anabolic" portion? I would like to go read up on it a little.

Anacyclus pyrethrum...dependent upon using the right amount of a potent extract. Original Anabeta was absolutely insane for me!

Phase 3 will have some pre-exhaustion and drop sets. Today kicked my ass! I was drenched in sweat. Loved it. I’m hoping my diet stays good tomorrow. Not sure. I will be at a group for a presentation and lunch will be provided so I will have to be mindful of what i eat.

Felt strong with my rows today. I moved the weight much easier than in phase 1. Pumps were pretty good too. Again working up a sweat. Weight unchanged. Feeling that my lower stomach fat is getting smaller.
I’m actually enjoying taking less pills and still making progress. ;)

I’ve been comfortable with my diet and actually getting hungry with the increase in volume and decrease in rest periods this week. so i do not want to lower calories too much more. I am finding it much more sustainable for me and happy with the slow and steady progress. I could try it in the future but for now i think i will keep it as i have. I reduced the amount of carbs a bit this week.

I agree. If you cannot sustain a diet you're following, it's a one way ticket to dooms.

My bad if I’ve missed this somewhere but have you tried Intermittent fasting? When cutting my calories I’ve found it a lot easier. I feel like I can eat normal size meals and not have to restrict too much. My feeding window is usually 12pm-8pm

Wore a regular t-shirt today and i quickly filled it up from the chest pumps. Was still feeling very minor soreness from Saturday chest and back but it made my mind muscle connection so much better. Skull crushers were a pain though i was failing at around 6 reps, but luckily my wife was there to help with the extra reps

How is it working out with your wife? I just don't know if it's a good idea for me bc my workouts are pretty intense and fast paced.. I know for sure my wife cannot catch up with my workout.

Do you both have the same workout routine?

It’s great. We’ve been working out and learning together for about 6 years. She teaches me things as well. She had been an athlete all her life (soccer, track, and cheerleading in college). She usually does what i do, sometimes it just takes longer.

Your situation is better than mine. I have to train my wife as well if we start working out together. It would take longer.

I don't know your wife, but I would be willing to put money on it she can do your workout. Not only do it but after a few months start making you feel weak in the 80-90% max range where she would start outrepping you quickly...

Women's muscular endurance and strength endurance surpasses mens. It really wouldn't take her long to catch up.

Your situation is better than mine. I have to train my wife as well if we start working out together. It would take longer.
Don't you invest in things that are important to you and could improve your life? Sure there is an investment in time, and training but you get back out of it someone who understands you better. Quality time with them working towards a goal. If she is interested then get her in there with you. If she doesn't want to lift then love her the way she is. :) Which I am sure that you do!

I was training my wife while I was in the middle of prep. She had only been lifting a few months before so every time we did anything new I had to train her on form and whatnot. You just have to be creative and use your knowledge to create a plan that allows you to progressively overload while also helping her to learn proper form.

When you are training someone like that remember this, less is more!!! It will be great for you too, if you are used to doing a bunch of exercises for each body part. To save time do things like only using compound lifts, and if a higher volume person then do more sets on the same exercise than normal. This allow for more time for you to train hard instead of instructing a new exercise every 3rd or 4th set.

An easy starter program I put a lot of beginners on, especially ladies is something like this with 2 different workouts. Just a couple warm up sets and 3 work sets in the 6-12 rep range.

Day 1 - Assisted Dips, Assisted Pull Ups, Squat or leg press sled.

Day 2 - Incline Machine Bench, Wide Grip Machine Rows, Squat or leg press sled.

Then have them do 3 workouts a week so it ends up like this. Mon Day 1, Wed Day 2, Friday Day 1, Monday Day 2, Wednesday Day 1, Friday Day 2 and so on.

This would also be great for a guy, but guys tend to want to do too much at first so this does not look like much to them. However it is all in the way that you train the session. The reason I mentioned i give it to a lot of women is they do not really see it as threatening because there are only 3 main exercises each session, but it covers the entire body. Then they can add in core work and cardio when they are ready. Also makes it something if you train her on those movements you can let her get started and then go do your workout and after 6 weeks or so she will be ready for more advanced training methods.

I don't know your wife, but I would be willing to put money on it she can do your workout. Not only do it but after a few months start making you feel weak in the 80-90% max range where she would start outrepping you quickly...

Women's muscular endurance and strength endurance surpasses mens. It really wouldn't take her long to catch up.



Don't you invest in things that are important to you and could improve your life? Sure there is an investment in time, and training but you get back out of it someone who understands you better. Quality time with them working towards a goal. If she is interested then get her in there with you. If she doesn't want to lift then love her the way she is. :) Which I am sure that you do!

I was training my wife while I was in the middle of prep. She had only been lifting a few months before so every time we did anything new I had to train her on form and whatnot. You just have to be creative and use your knowledge to create a plan that allows you to progressively overload while also helping her to learn proper form.

When you are training someone like that remember this, less is more!!! It will be great for you too, if you are used to doing a bunch of exercises for each body part. To save time do things like only using compound lifts, and if a higher volume person then do more sets on the same exercise than normal. This allow for more time for you to train hard instead of instructing a new exercise every 3rd or 4th set.

An easy starter program I put a lot of beginners on, especially ladies is something like this with 2 different workouts. Just a couple warm up sets and 3 work sets in the 6-12 rep range.

Day 1 - Assisted Dips, Assisted Pull Ups, Squat or leg press sled.

Day 2 - Incline Machine Bench, Wide Grip Machine Rows, Squat or leg press sled.

Then have them do 3 workouts a week so it ends up like this. Mon Day 1, Wed Day 2, Friday Day 1, Monday Day 2, Wednesday Day 1, Friday Day 2 and so on.

Guess there is no harm in giving it a try, huh

No, and you can add intensifiers to the end of your sets while training her with straight sets on the same movements you are doing. Say bench, you do 3 work sets and she does 3 work sets but on your 3rd you do 2 rest pauses, or drop sets to push the intensity up for you while she is building herself up.

Good session. I went light and high reps for traps because I slept on my neck weird a few days ago and had just gotten a better. I didn't want to cause any injuries. Felt good to just pump them and use flexing and holding at the top. Wife helped out on the 2 extra reps for shoulder presses. Today is legs.
