True I see what you're saying, and conversely, it seems like you're going out of your way to defend a product. Not being satisfied with a product doesn't mean I'm from a rival company, it means I'm not satisfied with the product.
I gave possibilities for why my cycle was not as productive as I'd liked, I also openly conceeded that I would change my diet and exercise program next time. Note though, that I said the 1kg was the muscle I was left with, not that I believe the other weight I put on was all fat. More accurately, I do not feel a PCT of Retain 2 alone was sufficient to keep muscle gains. Again, that comes back to me not making enough preparation and adding more products to my PCT arsenal. It also means, however, that I personally do not feel Retain 2 was up to the task.
I also fail to see how "Was it worth it? Nope." constitutes a strong post. I gave a personal opinion based on personal experience. In that post I made no generalised statements about the product, its effectiveness or 'truthfulness' in terms of advertising. If I had 'bad-mouthed' the product as you so eloquently implied, I too would label the post as 'strong'. From where I sit, it merely appears as an abundance of defensiveness on behalf of supporters of the product. Again, it's worth noting that the people who seemed to have any significant issue what what I said or how I said it, were those who are in some way obligated or obliged to defend AnabolicX (not that there was anything to defend again in the first place).
I elaborated substantially on the opinion I voiced in the first post and again, gave open consideration to my own flaws in training beyond any that may be inherent in the product itself.
I understand you have a vested interest in the product, and that one man's idea of a considerable amount of muscle gain will differ from another, thus making subjectivity a large factor in advertising and product promises. Beyond that, however, given you so kindly make recommendations to me, my recommendation to you would be to more carefully consider the manner in which you ride into battle waving the anabolicx flag above your head. As I said earlier, just because I wasn't satisfied with the product, doesn't mean I work for a competitor. It just means that I wasn't satisfied with the product.
Do I think everyone should boycott his product? Not at all. Just because it doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it wouldn't work for someone else. It doesn't even mean that it wouldn't work better now that I train and diet more effectively. My point, and I find it funny I've been asked or drawn into so much explanation over approximately five words, is that I did not find that the cycle, at that point in time, was worth it.
I hope my explanation was clear.
Thanks
Correction: I wanted to point out my cycle was 6-8 weeks, equating to a gain of around a kilo (2.2 pounds) per week.
