Mostly been in a lurker around here, so Hi guys. At any rate I am a 38 year old paramedic student/slug and from doing a bunch of reading on this site and others, I decided to try out TRIBEX gold, ZMA and Flameout. Will get some Rez-V once I can afford it.
I am one week into the TRIBEX and ZMA. How long has it taken you folks, on average, to start to feel some benefits?
Also, I started to lift as well. I am about 2 months into that and still experiencing some killer soreness.
can’t answer your question precisely, but i’ve been on Alpha Male which contains tribulus, Flameout and ZMA for about a week and a half. diet and training have been on point (i’m at a slight caloric deficit with very clean food selection).
I’ve noticed a slight increase in libido (which has never been a weak point), socially i feel like i dont care as much about the outcome of situations (in a positive non-needy kind of way). physically i’m definitely losing bodyfat but i feel like i might actually be gaining muscle in my upper body. i work a very physical job and while it still tires me out, i dont feel as much fatigue in my body, especially my back muscles.
another cool thing to look out for is increased visual acuity, i’ve experienced thsi before when i was taking fish oil and zinc religiously and i notice it again after a week and a half of Flameout and ZMA. my vision just seems sharper, higher contrast and more in focus - i wear contact lenses so this could be omega 3’s reducing low-level inflammation in the eyes or maybe just a symptom of healthy zinc and magnesium levels.
like i said, my diet and training have been exactly as planned for the time i’ve been on the supps (and 2 weeks before as well) so theres no way i can attribute all of the above benefits to the supps but those are the good effects i have noticed. hope that helps
btw i am 25, with some experience lifting but i’m not super advanced (deadlift 365@ 185, powerclean 205x2), i train primarily for athletic purposes, full body compound exercises 3x/week.
The mechanism by which the ingredients in TRIBEX or Alpha Male work to stimulate a higher Testosterone production take about a week to two weeks before one starts to feel the benefits of increased T.
I’d go with Alpha Male (and it’s increased cost) before doing the REZ-V. More bang for your buck.
As for how long it takes until you see noticeable change… If you notice being in a better mood, feeling a bit hornier than usual… you’ve hit the zone. Make sure you get plenty of healthy fats. Fish oil is great, but make sure you eat perhaps 100 grams per day (total). The fat you consume will go a long way in optimizing your hormonal balance. Fat like olive oil, cold water fish, peanuts, walnuts, flax…
