I am in a similar boat. I find that anti-estrogens such as Rez-V are better for me than T-boosters.

You might want to try that in addition to or instead of T-boosters. But I wouldn’t automatically say that Alpha Male or TRIBEX won’t benefit you. You might see performance improvements even if you don’t see or need an increase in libido. You’ll have to try and see.[/quote]

interesting…thanks for the input jsbrook

Uh, no, I’m speaking from my own personal experience, which has been night-and-day. The new TRIBEX Gold did nada for me in terms of strength, libido, general energy level, workout intensity, etc. The original TRIBEX, though – Jeezus!! I constantly felt like a 16-year-old who OD’d on Cialis! And workouts were INTENSE.

Taking avena sativa on its own, though, has produced pretty similar results (though maybe not QUITE as intense). (Although I sometimes also use vitex in the mornings when taking avena). Tribulus on its own (such as TRIBEX Gold) has been proven to do nothing for me.

This could be because some people are non-responders to tribulus, or it could be because the first time anyone uses tribulus (or maybe any of these herbs) is when they might experience the strongest response, with decreasing effectiveness over time from these products as the body builds up a “tolerance” to them. There are a number of theories that might apply.

I do know, though, that TRIBEX Gold did nada for me, and the later versions of Alpha Male (that dropped the avena in favor of vitex) have done nothing for me. The first version of Alpha Male, though, that came in gooey-looking black capsules, which contained avena (but didn’t yet have vitex), ALSO blew me away, like the original TRIBEX.

What does this go to show? Not too sure, but my guess is that a good number of people, including me, respond really well to avena, but not much at all to tribulus on its own.

Thanks for taking your shots, though. :wink:

So they say . . .

There’s still debate, trust me. Lots o’ people are of the feeling that nothing since has equaled the original TRIBEX formula. There’s no scientific way to prove this, of course, but many are of that feeling. It probabaly has to do with the other ingredients that were in it (namely the avena sativa and ipriflavone - SP?).

Damici, I wonder if they put the new formula in an old bottle if you would take it and think “damn this is the holy grail shiznit again!,” if only because you have created such a super power nostolgic belief in it? If I could I would send you some avena seeds.

Laters,

You could probally make the exact same thing not tell him and he wouldn’t like it because it wasn’t the origional stuff.[/quote]

Damici, sounds like your best bet would be to just take avena sativa then.

Sure.

And honestly are people so on the Biotest bandwagon that they refuse to believe that Tribulus and other T-boosting supplements are not effective for some people while others such as avena sativa are? What the fuck. Biotest does not need groupies to defend TRIBEX which is a very solid product, and no one has said otherwise.

This thread hasn’t been too bad though. I think both sides have been actually saying the same thing. TRIBEX is a great product that will be the best T-booster for some. While others will do better with different compounds. The current TRIBEX will work great for many. Not so great for toerhs.

Im on a avena sativa/eurycoma/zma stack right now.

Not bad, kind of like a poor mans t booster stack. But nowhere near as good as TRIBEX Blue.

Man, I would love to see your supplement list, haha.

I was just thinking the same thing.[/quote]

I have an extensive supplement list. My brother and i have a whole 3 tier kitchen cabinet solely for our supplements not including some stuff we keep refrigirated.

You can split up the list into several categories: proteins, Biotest supplements, herbal supplements and vitamins. Most of the stuff, any non training individual would take just for better health reasons. I admit that my diet is not optimal. I don’t get to eat a balanced diet so i hope the supplements help in that regard. We spend a lot of money but to me it’s worth it. My health is worth more then anything else. I’d rather start young to minimize any ill effects of my genetics and the environment. laters pk

You’re just jealous I have a lot of free time. I did not post nearly so much during the year in law school. Didn’t have the time nor the inclination. As a college senior, I had one class. Plenty of time to train, see the girl, go out, see friends, booze, and post on T-Nation.

This summer my internship with the judge was only 7 weeks and is over. I have plenty of time to post and do other things. Even when I was there, you could hardly even call what we did working. Sure, we wrote a few opinions and bench memos. But we had a helluva a lot of time to kill. And we did, chatting and surfing the internet in the intern room. A lot of that time I was on here. What should I do while I’m relaxing. Read? Watch tv? Go to the beach? Yeah, I do that too.

If you really want to be an oogie/troll, you can go take a look and you’ll see there’s weekends where I haven’t posted at all. Go pick a fight with Prof X or someone else that posts a lot. I ain’t biting. But no worries though, buddy.

I dont know about you, but ChrisKing’s and ModBrian’s posts are blunt, sarcastic, to the point, and just plain entertaining! I hope they don’t stop posting.

Thanks, but one of us needs to keep things on topic in this thread so some of the other posts had to go.

TRIBEX gold did zero for me. I actually had some sore nipples from using it.

Cy told me that “any compound which increases endogenous testosterone (with the exception of aromatase inhibitors) can increase estrogen levels due to the fact that testosterone is a substrate for the aromatase enzyme which converts testosterone to estradiol”

He then told me there wasn’t enough substrate to provide for a large increase in estradiol to occur. He told me that in some rare cases (mine obviously) some individuals have an abnormal amount of aromatase expression.

And to the guy who said T-Nation doesn’t allow us to say anything against their products, yours got through as did my little test of “I agree”

It also seems that althougth my question wasn’t posted on the site like I tried, Cy responded to it.

[Mod Note: It appears that the TRIBEX did it’s job fine, but that your body converted the additional testosterone to estrogen.]

Keaster, Im glad at least one person agrees with me on that subject!

What I mean by synthetic , is I feel the pill is doing the work, where as the old formula felt like It nudged my body into producing higher t levels. WHich meant it seemed to even last longer without it.

I also felt capsules are better absorbed than tablets.

NEW MD6 woopie that would be worth stockpiling

I want a transdermal fat burner!

Biotest also doesn’t need a self appointed King Solomon who see himself as the arbitrator of any discourse that arises. I myself was just busting Damici’s chops a bit and he is more then qualified to handle his shit without any help from pointdexter.

Take it easy,
