I was lookin at the mass fx and hardfx power packs with tst...is the tst really needed? So what's the major diffrences between massfx and hard fx?
I'm mostly concerned about not have to run any other supplements like pcts anddont want to worry about gyno issues...
Would massfx and hard fx both be okay for being safe to run alone and not have to worry about other health issues?
Let me take 'em one at a time to keep it straight in my head (I hate Mondays!)...
Is TST needed? No, but then again, are supplements needed in the first place?
It's just an add-on product that can give you that extra 'something'. Consider it the leather seats and climate control in your car - you can live without it, but would you want to? The choice is yours, but we have it bundled with either product as a "powerpack" should anyone decide that the MassFX/HardFX combo is a bit too much (supp or expense-wise). Consider it a stack at 2/3 the cost of stack.
Difference between MassFX and HardFX? A lot, really. Aside from the obvious things like completely different ingredients, the manner in which they work to help you progress are different. Here's a brief breakdown:
MassFX: Works to increase Free Test - a form of test that is much more desirable for gaining muscle mass. Users note elevation in aggression, that "alpha male" feeling, size, and strength. Side effects: Increased appetite (me, personally), increased aggression, anything that might be associated with raised test levels.
HardFX: Works to increase overall test levels while lowering estrogen conversion. Users note increase in drive, sexual performance, strength, lean mass, and drop in BF. Side effects: ummm... increase aggression (?), anything that might be associated with raised test levels.
On the sides... AX has worked REALLY hard to eliminate side effects from the products. While this is very difficult to do on a universal level, your experience will vary. For the most part, sides are few and far between, and I have heard NO complaints of anything remotely major from anyone who has used this. Sides are a major concern in product development.
PCT? Nope. Nada. None. Never. These are NOT prohormones, which means that they do not replace your endogenous hormones. They augment - modify - and that's it. You need PCT when you are getting hormones from an outside source because your body will shut down natural production when getting it elsewhere - thusly the term "shutdown". This WILL NOT HAPPEN with anything from the AX line-up. Period. Guaranteed - to the point where each of our products is now approved by the WNBF. In other words, PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDERS CAN USE THESE!!! For more info, click here:

Can you run MassFX or HardFX solo? Yes. For better results, stack them. No worries either way.
Any other health-related issues? As I mentioned above, your experience may vary, but I can pretty much say that you'll have no problems at all. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions that may be affected by the use of any supplements of this nature, then yes, I would steer clear of these AS WELL AS ANYTHING ELSE MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD OR ON THIS FORUM. When in doubt, consult your doc. Otherwise, you should be good to go.
Sorry for the long-winded response. It's kinda my 'thing'. But, now you know! Anything else that we can help you with, just ask. We'll do whatever we can at any step of the process to make sure that you get the BEST experience from AX possible. That's how we roll. :cheers:
