    The myostatin experiment!

    Ok...this weekend I started taking a "myostatin binder" put out by Champion Nutrition.

    I will change NOTHING about my diet, my supplementation, and my training for the next 8 weeks in order to track my progress properly (or lack thereof).

    In my profession I feel it is my responsibility to be a guinea pig at times so that I can report to others what is real and what is hype!

    I started out at a bodyweight of about 255, and a BF % of about 12-13%. I will be tracking my major lifts as well.

    After 8 weeks, which I feel is a fair time, I will report to you whether this is the real deal or just another "snake oil!"

    tried it, at first it seemed like it was making a difference. But since I stopped taking it the intensity and reps/sets and stuff hasn't decreased. So I tend to think it was more mental that the improvements was what was "supposed" to happen so I made it happen.


    Not sure if that made sense.
    "When I use the word intensity I mean the ability to continue past and through the pain barrier where your mind pleads to stop and in fact convinces your body that you have hit failure, but you push through. How far you push through that barrier is the level of intensity with which you train." -- Twin Peak

    First off - thanks for volunteering!
    I am just wondering, why this myostatin product? Why not Biotest or Pinnacle? I am not taking sides, just genuinely curious.

    They all are basically the same. The same ingredient can be found in each, although every company will add their own "twist" on the product. I was following Champions research first, so I went for their product. All will either work, or do nothing! Soon I'll know!
