Been on my no needles Testosterone boosting stack for over 3 months now, I described it above in another post… I mentioned I would get back to you on the results, and thus far it has been a win. I wanted to boost my T so I felt better, and my muscles feel firmer with more definition, and lose some belly jelly… all without injections of any kind. Here is my 7 day stack, I am 59 y/o male, resistant training almost every day for last 10 years:
Sun – 12.5mg enclomiphene citrate, 5mg pregnenolone, 10mg boron
Mon – Long Jack, Testofen, 5 mg DHEA, 10mg boron
Tue – 50 mg DHEA, 10 mg boron
Wed – repeat Sun
Thu – repeat Mon
Fri – 3mg Rapamycin with GFJ one hour before, 5mg prenenolone, 10mg boron, ashwangandha at night (Rap can make me sleep not so well on the day I take it, so the Ash has helped with that and it is a known Test booster)
Sat – repeat Tue
No blood test, I just based the effectiveness on how it made me feel. Overall I am really pleased with this stack, here is what I “perceived” it did for me:
-increased muscle mass some, made my muscles feel firmer & more full
-more definition, and flex/pump when not working out (tension)
-can’t say it makes me stronger, but it made my strength during workouts more consistent from day to day (I workout most days)
-easier to lose belly fat when I make an effort to lose weight
-increased stamina over the course of the day, just a little but noticeable
-pregnenolone, not sure if this does anything, but Maximus adds it to their EC stack so I thought I would too, not sure if it makes any difference
Enclomiphene citrate – this gives the most noticeable effects, makes me feel really good but it can make me a little “testy” and irritable, so I have to be conscious of that on my EC days Lol Really impressed on how effective the EC has been, makes me feel strong, lots of energy, muscles are full and tight, lots of positive well being. I would take it every other day if I wasn’t concerned of my body not responding to it over time, a negative feedback response. Rap can make me feel “testy/irritable” as well, and make my muscles feel full but without an increase in strength.
Herbal Supplements – Long Jack and Testofen, surprisingly these were the second most effective, not far behind the EC, and without making me feel “testy”.
DHEA – mixed bag, it does have a positive effect but not as noticeable, and thankfully did not have a negative effect on my prostate.
One concern I have with this stack is that my joints have been a little sensitive after a while on this stack. My theory is that my frame is shorter as I have aged, and having stronger muscles on a shorter frame adds more stress to the joints such that I can feel it. Not sure if that is it, but that is all I can attribute the soreness to right now, as I have not changed my workout at all.
So overall I am pleased, not sure how much it is boosting T, 10%, 20%, 30%? I don’t know, all I know is that it makes me feel better. I am going to continue this no needles stack so long as it makes me feel noticeably better. When and if it comes that it is losing effectiveness then I will consider traditional TRT, perhaps with micro dosing.
