| I was once an over-the-counter andro user, but I noticed the only results achieved with ever-increasing doses of the andro products was an increase in body fat...largely due to the unavoidable estrogen conversion. Recently, I decided to try ZMA. I knew from what I learned in my college chemistry and biology classes that fetal and newborn infants who were subjected to larger intakes of zinc proved to have higher levels of growth hormone and enlarged genitalia (for the boy infants). I figured that it wouldn't hurt to try ZMA as an adult athlete.
After four weeks of using Cytodyne's ZMASS PM (the most potent on the market), I noticed a tremendous increase in both my strength and endurance levels. On bench presses alone, I increased my weight for an 8 rep set by 35 pounds and on squats a 60 pound increase for an 8 rep set. ZMA definitely gives you increased strength, which will in turn help you add the mass that you desire. Another added advantage is the endurance boost. I run 3-5 times a week for 3-6 miles at a time, and I have noticed a great increase in my aerobic capacity. Before taking ZMA, I was winded before my legs tired out. But now, I can easily run at a much faster pace without becoming aerobically fatigued.
The only drawback to ZMA has been my difficulty sleeping throughout the night...but that is how I know it is actually working and raising testosterone levels and IGF-1. Friends that have fallen into the rut of using anabolic steroids all complain of the same thing...sleeping throughout the night. Apparently, a boost in hormone levels interrupts a typical sleep pattern. But this isn't bad, considering that when I do wake up, it is never difficult to go back to sleep. Talk to anyone who is experiencing a change in their hormone levels (someone who is pregnant for instance), and they will all say the same thing...they wake up more often than they are accustomed to.
I strongly believe ZMA works. This is the only product I recommend you spend your money on, with the exception of a good whey protein Isolate. ZMA and a high quality protein supplement combined with a sensible workout routine will give you the physique formation you are looking for.
