I saw Ramsey at the Powerlifting Worlds in Vegas and got stocked up for my next Tribustol cycle. I had hernia surgery and have not lifted at all for 12 weeks. It's the longest I have gone without lifting in over 4 years. My body really needed the rest. I dropped 30-35 lbs in bodyweight, mostly muscle mass and water. Got down to 235-240 range before I got back in the gym. Started on Tribustol since Paul told me it really helped his recover when he was out with the same thing.
First week back was just getting used to moving very light weights (Bench at 125 max). Second week added a little more but took it real easy. I noticed the strength was coming back and the energy was really ramping up. Bench was 235 max. This week I felt really strong and had a lot of energy. Benched 300 no problem and did reps at 275 for sets of 3 (4-5 sets no problem). Since all I'm taking is Tribustol, Protein and BCAA's, I really think the Tribustol is what got me back so fast. The energy boost is great and it's only lean muscle coming back. I'm still under 242 and will be benching over 300 next week. For me, that's good.
Thanks Ramsey - I'm a believer. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
BTW Bill B, I heard Paul opened with a 500+ bench at the World's last week and pushed it up real fast! The biggest bench at the Full Power World's in Vegas was 275!
PAUL IS STILL THE KING!!!!

I'm a little skeptical of the product, but let me start by saying that much credit is due for a company that gives 100% satisfaction guarantee of the product. That alone should theoretically be enough for me to keep my comments to myself, but I will question anyway. The ingredients of the product seem to be just Tribulus plus vitamins: www.tribustol.com/product.php . Am I missing something, or couldn't one buy these items individually for less money?

This question has been answered a few times. Go back through this thread. You will get the reasoning why you cant.

I stand corrected.
So when are you guys going to lift head to head? I'd like to be there. It would be worth the price of admission. Too bad you both weren't ready to compete or I'd make sure you would both be at the Midwest Championships to go head to head. As a promoter of that meet I'd find a way to make it happen if I could!

What is different from Trib in this? I've done tribulus products time and again, and as an older lifter with low test, I'll say they don't work for me. Nor did Longjack and some others. I've been tempted to try Gh1 since the test route just won't pop for me.

This question has been answered a few times. Go back through this thread. You will get the reasoning why you cant. Hmm...I have gone through the thread a second time and didn't see anything regarding the cost efficiency of purchasing the ingredients separately. The three people that mentioned the cost of this product said that the product itself was cost effective because it allowed them to stop taking other supplements, and thus saved on the cost of those other supplements. However, I don't take other supplements so that's not a factor for me. Still, it leaves the proposition that Tribustol seems to cost more than the sum of its parts. The only thing I found on the Tribustol website regarding this issue is the following: "The technology of Tribustol is simple, yet profoundly and carefully designed and crafted. What does this mean? Well most supplement manufacturers are not skilled in balancing B-complex nutrients in proper ratios to maximize the effects of tribulus. Also, the choice of potassium in Tribustol, unlike other tribulus formulations, is very expensive. Most of our competitors opt to use the cheaper form of potassium, or are simply unaware of the differences. Another example is the use of the antioxidants. Vitamin E, found in Tribustol, has a stimulating effect on the anaerobic energy system when used the right dosage, therefore allowing faster recovery between training sets." I'm not sure how much that answered the question either, but unfortunately the supplement market as a whole is full of unsubstantiated claims so I can't hold this vendor to a higher standard. Also, due to the respect I have for forum members on here who have acknowledged the products effectiveness I may consider the use of this product in the future. However, I'll probably wait to see if others have success with it.

I'm with 72 - I could buy a harley with money I've wasted on stuff that doesn't work: I'd love to find something that does. If it's as good as folks here say, it should be a big seller very soon. Some of the bogus stuff was similar in ways to this: simple proteins stacked "in an exact balance" or some such, so I've heard the wolf cry a few too many times not to have some skepticism, especially for us older folks. Any oldtimers besides Blackstone tried it? (jk!)

The results for me are great when I am on Tribustol. I have more energy every day, and I recover faster. I am currently fighting a disc problem in my neck that causes a lot of pain when I bench (I have to see a surgeon next week), but I still make gains while taking this. I do have a question for Bill, or anyone else on this. What do you take post cycle? Last time I stuck with just Creatine, Protein, and HMB. Off cycle I feel a little sluggish during workouts, and my recovery takes a little longer (my 12hr rotating shifts at work doesn't help). The Midwest Championships on Jan. 30th will be during the middle of my next off cycle. Would throwing in a B-complex help with keeping the energy and just lay off of the Trib.? Any help would be appreciated.

Rhino If Paul can drop some weight we should be going head to head in 2010. I'm sending a diet plan that worked for me. Hopefully it will work for him. Paul would like to get down to 210. I'm just hoping to get him down to 220 so we can compete on the same level. I spotted him 25 lbs body weight. Not an excuse. He whooped me fair and square. 2.07-2.06 Talk to Paul though. I don't think he can be down to 220 by January 30. Still though we could go head to head with Co-eff. I would love to go against him again.

I started using Trib last July. I was 48 at the time looking at turning 49 in August. I work out 5 days a week and have to say in the beginning I did not think to much about Trib. However I do think I recovered pretty quickly. As an example on squat days when I push real hard I could be sore with DOMS for as long as 4 days. Now 2 days and I feel great. Also at the end of the 8 week cycle my bench has increased by almost 30 pounds. Now I still have to put up that additionl 30 pounds in a meet, however I am very confident I will. The thing to remember is to push even harder than you would while not taking Trib. I even so gains when I cycled off of it.

......Also at the end of the 8 week cycle my bench has increased by almost 30 pounds....... Dam! I'd drinking the Tribustol cool-aid too if I saw those kind of gains in 8 Weeks. Care to share the numbers that 30lb apply too?

Care to share the numbers that 30lb apply too? My NYS Record for 44 to 49 Masters was 297. On Nov. 12th I bumped it to 308 easily. Went for 325 got the weight up but my foot moved and my butt lifted ever so slightly. I have done 335 in the gym.

I don’t know for a fact but given that Tribustol is a big sponsor of 100% Raw I’m going to guess it’s OK to use.

I'm a big supporter and got tested all the time at meets. Especially when I won my SECOND belt. I passed and now I am back seeking my third belt. Tribustol again is part of my work out. I started training again in the start of December 2012. I barely got 275 up once. January 14Th I started my Tribustol cycle again. I was at 300 grinding the second rep. Yesterday I hit 370x3;375 x3 2 sets; 380x3 2 sets. With get this. Only one minute between sets! Now remember. This is after a four year lay off. I see no problem destroying the masters records in two weight classes, say by mid July 2013. That class would be the 220 and 242 Masters age 52. I think there both around 450. I owe this to Tribustol along with my drive. With out my Tribustol I don't believe I could maintain my work out program. Most thirty year old could not with out Tribustol.

See my latest log. It is in of course logs. Titled: return to the game. Tribustol is the reason for my accomplishments so far.

Next week I am going to TRY to post every work out. Why you ask? I start my round of Tribustol. please watch the strength gain and the ability to lift heavy every single day. The next six weeks will be a huge push. My ace up my sleeve of course is the Tribustol. So stay tuned and watch a 52 year old kill the tonnage.
