Consumer Review: Andro Will Definitely Help You Lift More, But It Can Also Mess With Your Mind.
Like most people, I have one side of me that is skeptical about big claims from just about anything, and I have another side that really wants to believe the big claims. The proof is in the pudding. In other words, the ONLY way to know for sure is to experience it for yourself. My feeling is that the majority of healthy people can make it through one cycle of Andro without any difficulties, but then I don't know how Andro effects humans in the long run.

My experience is this: I am 33 years old. I was a solo workout artist who would mingle now and then with other solo lifters, as well as the various groups that form here and there in the gyms. But that was many years ago, when I worked out with fierce intensity...from about 17 years old to 23 years old. With hardly any supplementation, except a brief stint with Yohimbe, I took a bulky, chubby body and turned it into a 225lb lean Greek statue.

Then various things came up and I wasn't able to get to the gym like I used to. I was able to coast for a long time on what I'd built. Then I stopped consistently working out altogether. Eventually, I reached a stage 2 years ago where I realized my muscles were nothing like they were, so I decided to enter the EAS body-of-work challenge.

It's a 12 wek contest. I got up to the 6th week and then developed a severe case of pneumonia due to insufficient rest. But that 6 week phase was so revealing because I had had such a long lay off previously. When I started (don't laugh!), I could barely bench press 225lbs twice without a struggle. This was also the case on the very few occasions of dropping into the gym now and then. But by taking Betagen and Andro-6, I was benching 225lbs twelve times like it was nothing after 4-5 weeks. The odd thing was that I didn't seem to PROGRESS to that point. It was like one day it just dawned on me. I finished the set of 10 and had so much more left in me that I threw up 2 more for the heck of it. And I could have gone even more, but my mind was conditioned to not want to do more than 12 reps.

I felt very strongly about taking the Andro-6 because, if my memory serves me, it had Andro, Tribulus, and Chrysin (for estrogen blocking). So simple, no messing around with all the names, numbers, diols, betas, and so on...just a basic, proven stack. (Since then EAS has discontinued Andro sales).

My mood had it's peaks and dips, but here's what I learned about that. The increase in testosterone increases the drive to do something...ANYTHING. So my sense is that whatever is on one's mind, or lurking in the background, is going to be intensified. Try to see this and you'll now understand how different people are affected differently. Some people can be very nice people, but they can be walking around with an inferiority complex and private, unexpressed resentments towards people. They might not normally express these resentments, but the increase in the hormone can upset the mechanism that represses the resentment. If your mind is capable of drawing unusual analogies, consider how easy it is to think you love (or really like) someone who is giving you an orgasm, even though under usual conditions, you might think that person is not deserving of you. Context can change everything in a flash. And then, voila, back to normal: "Why did I do that?", "What's gotten into me?"

Andro works. There might be exceptions with those who have unusual metabolic conditions. And as far as rage goes, people who are pessimists better just stay off the stuff. Finding joy in complaining how bad things are might no longer work for the pessimist who takes Andro. He might change into someone who thinks and feels he can do something to change the forces that oppose him. Then we next find him working out in the prison yard.

Be careful. Experiment knowing there could be risks. One 8 week cycle will be OK and will tell you a lot of what you can't find on newsgroups or message boards: How Andro will interact with YOU.

Good luck,
Eric
