Sorry it took me so long to get to this, but here it goes...
I took Champions' Myostim for 8 weeks, just as directed. I changed nothing about my training, diet, or supplement schedule during this time. The results were strange...
-stats before usage:
*wt.-255
*bf %-13.5
*6 rep max for dumbell bench press-150's
stiff deadlift-365
alternate dumbell curl-70s
(these movements were one's that I had set out to increase)
-stats after usage:
*wt.-260
*bf %-13.5
*6 rep max for dumbell bench press-155s
stiff deadlift-380
alternate dumbell curl-75s
Ok, looks pretty good, however, I gained almost all of my weight during the first 5 weeks of use, and more than half of it in the first 2 weeks. This is really strange in that these "myostatin binders" are NOT supposed to really start working until 4-8 weeks after you begin using them (if they in fact work at all). Could there have been another ingredient in the product that was working for a while, or do myostatin binders work differently for me? Or, did my body just go through a growth spurt that had NADA to do with the supplement?
Now, according to all that I have learned about all of these myostatin binder products ( and they all contain the exact SAME active ingredient), the really true results can take many months to even begin to show, again, if they work at all. I only took it for 8 weeks. I suspect that a better time to judge would be about 16 or more weeks!
Here is the other problem with my little experiment. It is rumored that the product I took...Champions' Myostim...either contains very little, an inferior form of, or NO active ingredient (or at least the proper one) at all. Suppposedly, only 3 companies have the right to use the true form of the active ingredient, a marine algae called Cystoseira canariensis...active form, CSP-3. These companies are Cytodyne, Pinnacle, and Biotest.
It is rumored that Champion could not secure rights to the "best" form of this ingredient and has been selling a less than "optimal" product. I am not 100 % sure if this is true, but I'm guessing that it is! Of course, I did not know this when I started using this product.
So, did a "myostatin binding" product work for me...sort of, well maybe, not really sure...I can't complain...my bodyweight increased. I got stronger. Pretty cool! But, it probably had nothing to do with Myostim (unless they through some 1-Test in there or something).
If you choose to try this product...and I will again...use either the Cytodyne or Biotest version. And plan on taking it for many months. If you are patient it may pay off...or maybe it won't. If you are looking for a quicker boost...than first make sure your nutrition, training, and recovery are all they can be...than, throw in some 1-AD or 1-Test...I know THEY work!

) if these supps are successful because many people (like gopro) are trying them right now. 
Just wanted to doublecheck before I spent my hard earned dinero
