Energy / Focus / Mood
- This beta TestPowder gave me a euphoric mood and focused attention whenever I hit the gym. I was taking this product originally seperate from meals until Casy modified this and said it didn't matter at what meal as long as you took it with one. I beleive this helped immensly in absorbtion and when taken close to workout it made a huge difference in how I was feeling. I never felt aggressive while on TestPowder but I did notice I was able to push through pain no matter what. If not careful this can very easily lead to overtraining so you really have to listen to your body. Recovery was excellent but soreness was still present. I also stacked this product with Recreate/PF/MBCAA/Creatine/AP/C20 so these additional products helped sustain my recovery abilities. My biggest concern was gaining muscle and strength. In a months time it's difficult to harvest how well on track you are with that but I feel confident testPowder helped me along very well.

Bodyweight changes
-Have not measured this but overall I have seen some leaning out effects. These have come along with the use of recreate/C20 stacked with it.

Bodyfat changes
-Have experienced more fat loss in my belly and obliques but again I'm stacking so it may not be an independent result.

Vascularity / Pump
- Pump was there at all times while on the beta. I felt like i never left the gym. Drinking plenty of water is key though. I believe the assistance of the extra water at the cellular level helps to keep the muscle well expanded. I have yet to lose that feeling. I hope it never goes away. I feel extreme hardness within my muscles. Although, I was on C20, I believe the two stacked makes for an awesome building block within someone looking to gain muscle and a hard physique. Vascularity is absent in my case. i have more BF to lose so in the future maybe this will come to the table. For now, it's not there.

Strength / Endurance
- Felt a substantial strength increase. I actually focused more on my bench and pullups which ultimately translated into a bigger dead and more focused bench power. I have yet to test my bench ultimately but I have been doing a reverse pyramid 5x5 wrkout. Last week I performed this beginning with 365 and it felt as though i could have done 10 but I held back. I have done this before but utilizing testPowder made it seem easier. I did hit 315X20 on a burnout session, for 15 the second but that week I began my reverse pyramid witth 355 which was a 10 lb difference on the upper and lower end. I did also gain on dips. I never did dips in the same workout with bench let alone with cable crossovers. I'm up to 3 way crossovers with 90lbs and finishing off with 4 sets of 10 dips. Next week everything goes up again before deload. So it has helped in the form of strength in multiple ways. Before i forget I was only able to do 4 pullups @ 300+ Now I'm hitting 54 reps of alternating pullups chinups beginning with 13 in set 1, 90sec rest. Last and final sets I end with wide grip at the angled portion with 5 reps. I'm hitting pullups three times a week seperate from any other workout. I also bench 3 times a week. Flat-Mon, CGB-Wed, Incline-FRI. So, do the math did TestPowder give me gains? you damn right. If you don't understand how look within the log and you will see. Volume is turned way the hell up. Strength has gone through the roof. I can't wait to test the bench on June 23,2012.

Muscle Fullness
- Throughout the workout I felt like I was getting bigger because the pump would not go away. I still feel it although I just took the last dose so we will see how long it will last. SIGH*

Sleep / Recovery
- Slept extremely well but was not fully recovered everynight. I guess with a four month old he can have something to do with it, LOL.

Recomposition
- Waking up with a euphoric feeling out of this world. Stoked to go workout everyday, except when not fully recovered. Definitely feeling like this product is helping me add some serious size to my upper body while at the same time recomping a bit.

Taste
-Taste is awesome. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Blending
-Mixes well and instantly. I also add MBCAA and 5gm creatine to it to make it super juice.

Side Effects
- Jitters, BECAUSE I HAVE NONE LEFT. So I have to feel the after effects. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i want some more. I'm going to rehab.

Notes
- It's on when this hits the shelf. Coming to a GNC near you.

Week 4 & Final Test Powder Reaction

• Training changes - This product allowed me to increase the duration and intensity of my training quite a bit. Other than that, I kept my training regimine the same.
• Bodyweight changes - I gained and held 4lbs through most of the beta. My calories were increased slightly to deal with the workload I was undertaking.
• Bodyfat changes - I saw no change by the end of the trial.
• Libido/Sexual desire - At first, it dipped significantly. Now it has leveled out.
• Strength - My strength was increased across the board, notably breaking a multi-month long Bench Press Plateau. All my lifts are up in reps and I'm able to do a crazy 15 reps of 215 after a chest workout when I previously could only get 7-8. I hit several PRs for my weight in OHP and rows.
• Focus/Euphoria - I am a very focused person, and this didn't increase that as drastically as some others have seen. I did however get a boost in the first week, take that for what you will.
• Pumps - I saw no "pump" after the first two weeks, but I still felt the raw stamina in my lifts.
• Size - I saw some slight increases in arm an chest size, as well as quads and calfs.
• Vascularity - Nothing extra.
• Energy - I did not get an energy boost, as this is not a stimulant, but I DID see a crazy increase in stamina throughout my workout.
• Sleep Quality - Excellent as always but I felt better physically in the mornings. Faster recovery.

Overall, my impression of this product was good. I would definitely like to know more about it and add it to my everyday nutrition plan. I feel that this, paired with creatine, a vitamin, fish oil and proper nutrition would really help me stay in top physical shape to maintain a high powered training attack and live my high demand lifestyle.

Overall grade: 8.5 out of 10. Taste and mixability dragged the score down for me.

[tsefa]

• Training changes going from 10x100 to 10 x140 great
• Bodyweight changes after initial water gain of 3 to 5 lbs, I have now lost 4 lbs of my initial weigh

• Libido/Sexual desire always high, so no noticeable change
• Strength 35% increase across the board
• Focus/Euphoria focus at work and at the gym is fantastic, euphoria n/a
• Pump amazing, lots of comments, I am the type that never "holds" a pump but with test powder I do
• Size My arms chaff my lats enought said
• Vascularity more definition
• Energy not noticeable, but great stamina during workouts
• Sleep Quality mostly pretty good sleep
• all in all, I really like this product, It has helped me recover from hard work and work outs like no other supplement I have tried. I have definitely added strength and stamina with this product.
• ​taste was ok, it seems the long you have the tub, the less it mixes well. some part of it seems to be really susceptible to moisture . I drink it with propel.
• I noticed lower perspiration during work out , great focus and I could get back on track a lot faster then with out it
• I complained about joint soreness ( elbows and knees) but I realised it was due to increase intensity in the work out that I was doing. I just kept going and adding reps or/and weigh
• Thank you for your time and the oppotunity to play with test powder, I hope this helps and when is this coming out?
• I will buy some and use it, unless you have a tub lying around you want to get rid of

Here is my final review guys, enjoy. Great product as always from the best company in the business.

[alldaymikerea]

• Week 4 & Final Test Powder Reaction
• Training changes: None, Continued to follow FTP principles
• Bodyweight changes: Down 8lbs in 4 weeks of Beta
• Bodyfat changes: not sure of percentage but down a few percent.
• Libido/Sexual desire: Same did feel a spike on days where my carb intake was higher
• Strength: Increased every week. Some lifts increased as much as 30lbs, all while leaning out
• Focus/Euphoria: Increased Mind muscle connection during workouts. Euphoric feeling during workouts, never got tired stamina was through the roof. Found it hard to break a sweat sometimes even on limited rest between sets.
• Pumps: Great, not the normal blood engorged pumps, but more like a swollen, hardness almost painful pump.
• Size: remained the same all while dropping 8lbs in the 4 weeks of testing
• Vascularity: Increased vascularity in lower abs, bis and delt tie ins and a little more on lower extremities
• Energy: Had days where I would crash during the evening, but with the workouts I was producing I would expect that. Added a few evening session of light cardio just because I felt like I had to keep moving, and didn't want to just lounge around the house.
• Sleep Quality: Mentally It didn't feel like I got a deep sleep. I would wake every few hrs for a bathroom break. That being said when I got up in the morning my body felt re-energized and ready to go.

Here is a comparison pic from left the start of FTP and on the right end of the FTP/Test Powder Beta. Starting weight 235lbs ending weight 206lbs and still going.

As a bodybuilder eveyone always want to know how the legs are looking so here is a side shot of leg progess after the beta. Glutes and Hams are coming in nicely just a few more lbs to go and I'll be shredded.

Final Thoughts: Usplabs has done it again. Just another great supplement for the rest of the industry to try to follow. Test Powder will definetly become a staple in my supplement stacks. Increased strength, no muscle loss during my 8lb loss, increase in muscle fullness and hardness all while on a cut diet all are good reasons why everyone should add it. I said it in my log, I can't wait to use this product at the end of summer when I switch back over to a bulk phase. Thanks again Usplabs for the opportunity! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Test Powder Week 4 Review and Final Thoughts

Hello everyone!
The time has come when I'm here to give my final review and thoughts on another USPlabs product. First off, I must say thank you to USPlabs for selecting me to take part of this beta process. It's been a fun ride to say the least and look forward to future betas in the near future!

Week 4 Review

• Training Changes - No training changes. I've keep my training the same throughout the beta process.
• Bodyweight changes - Last week i gained 1.5 lbs while still maintaining my current diet. I configured the carbs on my diet and lost 1.5 lbs this week. My guess is that my body started getting use to the carb count that I was intaking so I did a quick switch up and it worked wonders.
• Bodyfat changes - I still have not gone to check out my bodyfat percentage. I'm slacking!
• Libido/Sexual Desire - No changes here. Not as high as it was the first week but it's still good.
• Strength - Strength has stayed the same from last week. No changes here.
• Focus/Euphoria - No changes here as well.
• Pumps - No changes here as well. Everything has stayed the same.
• Size - I've noticed an increase in size while still cutting fat. It's pretty amazing! I'm in the gym workout and I see my body looking a little different every time I'm hitting the gym which is a great feeling!
• Vascularity - My veins look like their going to pop out of my skin! Truly incredible!
• Energy - No changes here.
• Sleep Quality - Sleep is still amazing! Everytime I take the product I feel a relaxed feeling going through my body within the first 30 minutes of taking.

Overall, the changes I noticed this week were: Bodyweight changes, Size and Vascularity.

Final Thoughts

These are great changes for me. It looks like that you could use this product while still trying to lose weight which is a good thing. It goes to show that you don't need to lose all of your strength while trying to lose bodyfat. With the right training, supplementation and guidance you can achieve all of your goals. Great tasting product and very effective! Wish I could see what changes I could make taking this product for longer than a month. This product could easily be added to anyone's summer of shred stack! Very versatile product! Again, I would like to thank everyone at USPlabs for giving me the opportunity to try out a new up and coming product! It's been fun and hope to be selected for future products. Till then, No goal you set your mind to is impossible as long as you put in the work. Nothing that is gratifying in life is suppose to be easy. Train hard, Stay focused, Live life to the fullest!

[anthon88]

First I just want to thank USP Labs for choosing me as one of their beta testers. I started using USP products in 2010 and have had good results with everything I have used which is basically the whole line. There are very helpful members on these forums with endless amounts of information and they are always willing to help when you need something. Stand up company. Now onto the review!


Training changes - The only changes were inspired ones due to what the product did for me. I started taking less rest in between sets and started adding supersets and dropsets due to the constant flow of energy / motivation I was feeling.

Bodyweight changes - While I was dieting down I was dropping weight like crazy. Once I upped my calories again towards the end, bodyfat didnt seem to jump up even though my weight started to.

Bodyfat changes - Was dropping significantly while cutting. I have one of those bf scales and I normally get terrible readings on them despite being in good shape but this time I actually got a respectable number...11% I think it was. I also posted in a bodybuilding.com forum where people estimate your bf and everyone who replied had me within the 8-10% area....8%!??!?! I never thought I could get that low.

Libido/Sexual desire - I definitely noticed an increase despite being on a cutting diet. Some days it was very apparent...even after a workout which normally I am dead after.

Strength - Maintained in most areas which is great while cutting...especially since I was on a keto diet. The only area I saw a drop in was in my squats but I think my massive amounts of cardio had something to do with that. I was doing HIIT most of the week after my workouts so my legs had very little rest.

Focus/Euphoria - Probably my favorite aspect of this product. It put me in the "zone." All I wanted to do was lift. I had tunnel vision, hopping from one set to the next. Finishing a vicious set where I couldn't bust out another rep if you paid me and then 5 seconds after setting it down I wanted to pick it up again.

Pumps - Solid pumps after every workout. At the end of most of my workouts I normally go for the pump to finish up and when I did this, my muscles felt like they were ready to explode.

Size - No size increase since I was cutting. Towards the end when I upped my calories I started to see more muscle fullness but I also added carbs back in so a lot of it was replenishing glycogen stores but I have no doubt test powder had something to do with it as well.

Vascularity - As I got leaner it got better and better. Most noticably in my delts, forearms, bi's, and calves. I also noticed a cool vein in my chest for the first time.

Energy - Smooth energy...like motivation in a container. Like I said in my log, it isn't an energy you "feel" but rather something you notice when your done. After you look back on your workout and realize what you did and what your pace was you are a bit shocked.

Sleep Quality - I slept great. I normally have a very tough time sleeping while cutting but I had no problems here. I fell asleep pretty quickly and the quality was always great.

I think Test Powder was a great addition to the USP line. I am very anxious to find out what the ingredients are as well. This was my first time ever doing keto so I was new to the whole lack of carbs thing. I was also doing tons of cardio so my glycogen stores were pretty much as empty as they could be. Maintaining most of my strength and being extremely motivated to workout under those types of conditions is an absolutely amazing thing when you think about it. Once again, thank you USP Labs for choosing me to beta test your new product and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

Ok everyone, the final week! Week #4 is in the books. This week was a good one. Here is my Week 4 review:

• Training changes -
  For the last 2 weeks I have been using constant tension with partial reps. I still use the FST-7's at the end of the bodypart, but the heavy training I feel is really working for me right now.
• Bodyweight changes -
  Holding between 294 and 298. Can't seem to break the 300's yet.
• Bodyfat changes -
  Leaner, just don't know by how much
• Libido/Sexual desire-
  Normal. My mind is kinda jumbled right now so I don't pay much attention to it.
• Strength -
  Up.
  Set 8 PR's in one session on Saturday. My video of that session is on my log.
• Focus/Euphoria -
  Controlled rage the whole time. Razor focus in the gym. Tunnel vision with the weights.
• Pumps -
  Good pump. Stays with me longer than before.
• Size -
  Bigger. Shirts r getting tight, and my damn underwear does not fit anymore...
• Vascularity -
  Improved greatly from beginning of 4 week
• Energy -
  Great until I finish training. The heavy lifting takes a lot out of me.
• Sleep Quality -
  Not bad. Still around 7-8 hrs with a 45 min. nap during the day.
  
  OTHER NOTES -
• Breakouts -
  I have breakouts on my chest, shoulders, inner thigh / quads, and mild on my back. Also started on my ass.
• Body Temperature -
  Still running hot.
  
  Summary -
  Week 4 felt to me like the week when my body started to get truly acclimated to the TEST Powder. This is def. a 8-12 week product. It feels like all the other supps I am taking just work better when combined with TEST Powder. A great product
  
  OVERALL SUMMARY :
  These 4 weeks have been great. Regardless of how fkd my life outside the gym was, I just kept taking the products and doing my thing. I thought after I finished my 8 weeks with Asteroid Stack + Compound 20 + Jack3d there would be no way I could get stronger, but I'll be damned if I didn't
  The first week was a lot of trial and error. As a beta tester, I wanted to make sure I was dosing under all situations at different times till I found the "sweet spot". Once I found it, this stuff was money (for me it was meal right before training). Week 2 is when it started kicking ass!
  I used this product by itself for first 10 days. Then I added in my "Money in the bank" products, i.e. Asteroid Stack, Compound 20 and jack3d. Big results.
  Overall a great product, easy to mix and tastes great. If u wanna get strong, lean and add mass test is king. For those natural guys like myself who don't wanna destroy ourselves with illegals, this product is gonna be a solid addition to our supplementation programs
• I've said it before and I will say it again, USPLabs products just plain work! No bullshit; No fancy adds or packaging necessary. Once the word really gets out, this company is gonna be huge. I just hope you guys (and girls) at USPLabs stay the course and continue to let regular guys like myself do what we do.
  
  Thanks to everyone at USPLabs for putting me in this Beta program and letting me just be myself.
  Big thanks to Nik O (I still owe you a vid man sorry, my life got crazy) and everyone else at USPLabs for supporting all of us throughout this Beta.
  
  To everyone reading this, I always try to tell it like it is when it comes to supplements (see my YouTube vids). We spend a lot of money on products and we expect them to work. I'm not gonna bullshit anyone, and if a product sucks I tell you because that shit matters to me. With that said, I am yet to use a bad product from USPLabs. If you are serious about training naturally, you need to really look at adding USPLabs products to your program. No bullshit, they are the best in the business right now.
  
  Now, how about a recov3ry product!

[Tank]

Although I don't think I'm your average USPlabs user, I do think that if a supp works for me, there is a great chance that it will work for the younger crowd - if they put in the work!

I would like to point out that I didn't stack this with any other sport supps - other than MBCAAs and SCRX - no creatine, pre w.o. (except once), etc -

The outstanding specific points:

• No matter what my day was like, in the gym I felt focused and "psyched" all through my sessions
  
• I felt strong and in control of the weights
  
• Although on a slight caloric deficit, I powered through with no strength issues
  
• I dropped a few lbs of fat - again: no strength issues
  
• The solid and strong feeling lasted for hours afterward

You always read about the difficulty of keeping/gaining strength while slowly cutting fat - I believe that TestP can surely be a major tool in accomplishing this goal.

I am looking forward to stacking this with some of my USPlabs favorites: C20 and Pwfl for sure, and I have no doubt that results will be unfreakinbelievable!

Thanks to everyone at USPlabs for including me in this beta, and even more so - for constantly coming up with stuff that works!

The end of a great run. Test Powder Beta Final Review:

• Training changes - The Test Powder had me constantly reaching for more weight. It seemed that heavy was never heavy enough. Workouts were intense and focused with a drive to do more and more.
  
• Bodyweight changes - I was on a fat burner and nutrient partitioner while on this run and lost 10lbs while maintaining and even gaining strength.
  
• Bodyfat changes - Same as bodyweight changes, was on other supps for a cut and lost 2% bf.
  
• Libido/Sexual desire - I had an initial spike in libido when the Test Powder really hit me. That subsided during the third week, but made a comeback in the final half of week 4.
  
• Strength - My strength continued to improve even though I was dropping weight on my cut. I was always reaching for more weight to add to the lifts.
  
• Focus/Euphoria - Focus while on the beta was crazy good. I can't say I experienced any type of euphoric feelings.
  
• Pumps - I had gone a long time with not truly knowing what having a pump was like. Yes, I'd get the normal "just worked out" pump; but on the beta, I had intense pumps. There were times I thought my arms would split open.
  
• Size - Looking in the mirror, it seemed like I had gained size. A quick measurement proved that theory wrong. Yet, I didn't lose any size either which says a lot during a cut.
  
• Vascularity - Personally I can't say anything for vascularity. I did notice veins sticking out pretty well where I could see them, but my bf is still to high to really notice.
  
• Energy - I always got a good, clean energy boost from the beta. It wasn't like a stimmed out energy, but just a feeling in the frontal cortex that there was an added bit of energy there for what needed to be done.
  
• Sleep Quality - I have some pretty irregular sleep patterns, so this was hard to judge for awhile. I did notice though that when I nailed down a pattern that my sleep was deep and restful.
  
• Taste - The taste was good. It did tend to be a little sour at times. I don't take supps based on taste though, just results.
  
• Mixability - It mixed fairly well. There was always that grittiness left no matter how I mixed it or for how long.

Final Thoughts: USP Labs has done it again with Test Powder. This beta went extremely well for me. The product produced results from day one to the end of the tub. I would always enter the gym with an alpha feeling and couldn't stop reaching for more weight, doing a few more reps, or adding in more sets. I can say that I would gladly use this supplement again.

Thanks to all the people at USP Labs for the chance to be in on this beta. I really appreciate the chance you gave me to run this product and I hope my input met your standards. So, until next time guys..Stay Beast.

[stonhous35]

This is My final Review for the Test Powder. I would also like to add that I took this product on its own besides, your typical fish oil, protein, and multi vitamin. When I beta test a product, I want to get the very best results based on the control factor of the actual product. Later on i'll see what the product stacks best with. I dont want to test a product then take the same thing in another product, of if its two of the same just overdue it.

• Training changes: No real Training Changes. I switched up my routine a little but kept it the same type of circut.
  
• Bodyweight changes: I didn't really have any changes, it fluctuated around the same 183-186lbs range. I did lean out more but my diet was better then my normal.
  
• Bodyfat changes: Hard to tell because I didn't have anything to test it against or measure. I notice certain areas tightened up but With my own harsh critique it's hard to say. Im never happy with my body so it makes it more difficult but I was told that I did lean out.
  
• Libido/Sexual desire: My libido was definintely high and sexual desire as well. Im lucky enough to have a good but i was more reluctant to have a drop in libido.
  
• Strength: Since I wasn't going for Strength changes but more of a atheltic work out it was hard to tell if I gained strength. The dependant variable that helped show a little was the fact that I played hockey 2 times a week, and would tire out less and felt stronger on my legs. They seemed more powerful.
  
• Focus/Euphoria: My focus was was good. Esp for the fact I would tire out during the week a lot. I take a 4 hour college class and work 6 hours right after so it's easy to lose focus. I was able to keep it though when it came time to work out. No real Euphoric feeling.
  
• Pumps: would relate to vascularity.
  
• Size: Size seemed to change a little. I definitly look thicker and more solid in certain areas of my body. I didn't do a big strength or size routine so I wasn't looking for size but yet more definitiion. I think I achieved that.
  
• Vascularity: Im not a very vascular person so its harder for me to get it. I did notice though during work out I did achieve more of a vascular look but that wouldn't last long after the work out.
  
• Energy: No real crazy energy. Did I have a consistent push through workout, I can say that I did.
  
• Sleep Quality: My sleep was good. It has been better then usual but that could attest to fact that I'm shot at the end of the day and I work out atnight. Can I attest it to this, not sure, but it could of been an effect.

Overall I did like this product but there were some negatives to it though:
1) I didn't like how on the back of my triceps I was getting some breakouts.
2) I definitely crapped a lot and farted a lot with it. I know it had to do this because it would occur shortly after I took the Test 3) Powder. It wasn't the best of things when I was going to hang out with girls or go out. My stomach would bubble and get super gassy and would have to hold it in at times.
4) It mixed ok. I mean it's not a huge problem because all you did was have to add water and mix it a little more.
5) Some acne on face. Not 100% sure I can attribute it to this but it did occur a few times while using this.

[bigmix]

Okay so here is part of my end review I waited and waited as I tried to capture my thoughts some of the positives and negatives I experienced during this Beta. Thanks’ to the USP Labs crew for affording me another opportunity to test another product.

1. Initially all was good when I first started taking the TEST Powder I actually blew a 585lb x5 squat out of the water no half reps full deep box squats. This to me was a testament in how fast this product worked and mind muscle control was on point without even having to think about it. I say this because I didn't have to psyche myself out no friggin speeches no hype music I just did it all muscle fibers seem to fire that day. Muscle recruitment I have never experienced to this degree my legs were sore for almost 2 weeks!

2. Four days in and the product seemed to be doing its job T-bar rows 8 45lb plates x5 all was going great then I had a serious mental crash. I was a wreck for the second week emotionally I was all over the place at that point I continued to dose the TEST Powder with the FTP protocol. I became irritable angry frustrated my issues with noise seem to increase and anything seem to bring me to a rage. I became lethargic I had a crazy crash for a couple days thinking it was the Oxy or the free Jack3d I received. Jack3d has made me crash in the past so I thought it was just the Jack3d...I was wrong. I stopped taking the Jack3d and the same thing happen crash!!! I stopped taking the Oxy bam still crashing. I also started to feel slightly depressed and for once in my life I didn't want to go to the gym and even question what was I really trying to accomplish. I have never questioned my love for the gym....never ever. This can be a symptom of overtraining that couldn't be it I just took a week off 2 weeks before I got started with this Beta.

3. I finally took Casey's advice about taking it with food this cleared up some of the issue's I was having my mental state seem to change and I wasn't crashing anymore. I wasted a week it seems trying to get it together mentally I've never had these issue's pop up. I know some beta testers could handle it FTP style but it didn't work for me. I continued to be irritable and in the 4^th week some of that seemed to go away..what did increase was the oily skin and pimples on my back and tiny whiteheads on my forehead.

4. I had very little of the focus some guys talked about surely nothing compared to Oxy,C20 Jak3d…I had none of the muscle fullness of a C20 or AP. I never reached a Yok3d pump, Pink Magic pump or Compound20 pump. I did get pumped but not like the other sups. I did lean out more around my waist and abs didn’t expect that. I also noticed that only after 3-4 days off the effects seem to be gone. Unlike some of the other products that seem to linger 2-3 weeks after not so with TEST Powder I feel rather normal no bouts of strength and that simple mind muscle connection is gone. I am not irritable at all and the libido is not the same now.

5. Now with all that said I would only use this with the expectations of taking it for 8-12 weeks I really needed more time to really get a feel for this supplement. I’m usually about 2 weeks in when I’m using a sup before I really can tell what’s happening didn’t really get a chance with this TEST Powder…a week and a half was jacked up from the issues I was having with it. When it comes to market I will do a full 8-12 week review to really give it a chance and really do a better test. Unlike my other betas I had no problems and feel I gave a real assessment of what I was testing.

I do not feel I am being completely fair with this Beta because of my problems with the product early on. Taken with food most of the issues I had went away I didn’t even play around with dosage either…I know more is not always better but I wanted a couple days of 3 scoops to see if it would make a difference for me.
While I do not believe I’m a non responder my response surely was different from most of the users. Instead I plan on doing a better test once it comes to market!!! For me this isn’t my best and personally I hate when I can’t give anything 100% mentally or physically!

• Training changes: None
  
• Bodyweight changes: None
  
• Bodyfat changes: I did notice more leaning around my abs waist.
  
• Libido/Sexual desire: This did increase!
  
• Strength: Incredible strength gains for the short time I was on.
  
• Focus/Euphoria :Some days I was on no Euphoric moments for me.
  
• Pumps: Nothing on the lines of Yoke3d, Pink Magic or C20.
  
• Size: No changes in size.
  
• Vascularity: It seemed to improve some days.
  
• Energy: Some days energy was up.
  
• Sleep Quality: Nothing on the lines of a Powerfull sleep...nothing deep or full.

I intend on running another log once it comes to market!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-12 weeks with no issues!

■Training changes: no new changes then the previous 3 weeks.

■Bodyweight changes: lost 2 pounds since last week.

■Bodyfat changes: went down 1% since last week.

■Libido/Sexual desire: still high like the previous 3 weeks.

■Strength: felt very strong this week, weight has gone up again in most of my exercises.

■Focus/Euphoria: focus has been great, no change

■Pumps: pumps have been good, c20 I’m sure has helped

■Size: no change from the past few weeks

■Vascularity: look more defined then the previous week

■Energy: Energy has been hit or miss

■Sleep Quality: sleep has been good, no change.

Overall, I would give the product an 8 out of 10. Strength and size has increased throughout the 4 weeks. Chest, arms, and legs have increased while waist and hips decreased. Weight and bf% fluxated during this past month, but weight and bf% is now the same since I started. Focus was good the whole cycle and the beta never affected my sleep pattern. I noticed that i was a little more irritable then i usually am during the past month. Flavor was good, minus the grittiness left at the bottom of the shaker. Would take it again, thanks usplabs

Week #4 Reactions and Final Review


Training change
No changes in the final week. I kept with Lactic Acid training with increased overall running mileage every week.

Bodyweight changes
Down another 2lbs for a total of 9lbs. That is some solid numbers and I am extremely happy with those results! But, I must stress my strength never wavered and increased as I am dropping the pounds. That is very exciting and interesting.

Bodyfat changes
Officially went down once pants size since beginning the beta test. Also my upper abs are more visible then they were at the beginning of the run. While my lower abs are not as solid as they have been I have seen a considerable amount of improvement.

Libido/Sexual desire
Sex drive remained elevated the whole time. But, I think there was some normalizing around week three to four. I in general have a high amount of drive so for me to have increased drive is trouble for my lady. But, she weather the early storm fairly well.LOL

Strength
I was not expecting much in this regard due to my cutting cycle. However, this was a very welcomed and pleasant surprise! Steadily Increasing strength while holding calories at a deficit and doing tons of cardio! Sick, sick, sick!!

Focus/Euphoria
I felt strong in terms of my focus in wanting to attack the weights and really push some volume. However, I only felt euphoria when I took the supplement on an empty stomach. It kind of felt like the sensation I get when I dose Jack3D. Dosing as part of my postWO meal did not have that same feel.

Pumps
The pumps rival Yok3D! They were so intense at times that I had to use some pause reps. Post pump you also look fuller for the rest of the day. I just felt swole especially on chest days.

Size
I saw more muscle fullness but this was not more goal going into the test. But, I can say I m holding on to the new muscle I put on during my bulk cycle a lot better then last time. So, I will use that a my indicator and give the product some credit in this regard.

Vascularity
Really one of my favorite effects. Just seeing my veins steadily become more pronounced and in different body parts is very cool. I would also say I saw this effect probably the quickest. Within the first week of using the supplement.

Energy
As I added in some crabs I did feel a bit more energy. So, I would not say this is the effect that I really saw the greatest gain. There were days were I thought it was better than others. But, nothing solid and substantial to write home about and say it was nailed. Let me also add, I did not see a drop in energy performance while in my carb stage; so there could be something said for that.

Sleep Quality
Once I normalized after a tough week three sleep was back to be amazing. My girlfriend even commented on how sound I sleep. I am typically a toss and turner. But, while on the beta test once my head hit the pillow it was lights out! I only woke during the morning and felt great!! Even when I had less sleep time I still woke up feeling like I had a quality sleep cycle. A huge plus for me given the craziness of my days!

Final thoughts
I think this is another very solid product that has a great upside! I can't wait to get my hands on some more and play around with the ideas I have in my head. I also want to say I am truly grateful to be apart of another beta test. It is always an honor and privilege to provide feedback on something before others get the chance to use it. I never take these awesome opportunities for granted and look forward to being honest and consistent with my feedback and training. Keep up the innovation and good work USPlabs!

• Training changes- kept them the same, 2 a days M-F, individual muscle groups, the one thing I did change was that I just kept adding weights and kept reaping them out instead of lowering the weight and having higher reps.

• Bodyweight changes- lost about 5-6ibs while on test powd3r and some super HD.
  
• Bodyfat changes- lost about 1% from 9% BF.
  
• Libido/Sexual desire- really impressed in this area, this is how you know your test levels are up there at there peak, couldn't stop thinking felt more than a teenager with crazy hormones going.
  
• Strength- repping out every thing I saw, kept adding weight and more weights and more weights, I was reaping out 100ib DB in every area.... absolutely impressed and even my friends were impressed.
  
• Focus/Euphoria- intense focus like no other, tunnel vision on my goals and weights, really felt the muscle mind connection, proper form every time, Euphoria like I was a F***in God, felt really high in life and like I was the shit, a little good and bad but I love this natural high you get from this product.
  
• Pumps- the pump was no Yok3d feeling but it kind of felt like a C20 feeling, muscle bellies were full and when working out felt a little fuller. can't complain.
  
• Size- I deff saw an increase in my chest, shoulders, back basically everywhere, really impressed that I could still grow somewhat while on a cut.
  
• Vascularity- didn't really see any more veins in my palm side forearm or bicep area, where I really saw and increase was in my shoulder and chest area, same as my quads and calfs, also my upper side of forearm.
  
• Energy- felt like a natural energy, no stim energy just long natural energy thru out the day.
  
• Sleep Quality- sleep like a baby every night and woke up with ease, kinda felt like powerfull, nice sleeps with good dreams. never really woke up in the middle of the night or even when I slept less felt like I slept my 8 hrs.
  
• Side effects- started to break out in my face, shoulders, back chest, lats, legs almost everywhere not crazy but about one per muscle group, another side was the crazy rage and aggravation I got, every little mistake or something really annoyed me, just felt like going HAM on some people sometimes from how much they bothered me and annoyed me, it felt good to know the product was really working but sometimes felt guilty too that I was easily irritated by people and they didn't know what I was going thru, even had a couple people tell me to lay off the Roids that they were really F****ing me up.

• Overall- Wow just wow, Im really impressed with this supplement, I never thought a supplement like this could ever exist and be legal, breaking Pr's started to break out in my face om left and right while on a cut..... this is the strongest I have ever been..... every one of my friends are starting to believe I'm actually on something else behind there back... this is by far the best product I have ever tried and will be a part of my stack forever... Thanks to USP Labs for giving me a shot at there new product and I know you guys haven't let me down yet... can't wait to get more in the inner circle.....

BOOM!




Thanks for giving me this opportunity! Im ready for more!!

• Training changes - now in Mad Science Level 5
• Bodyweight changes - Up again and visibly leaner
• Bodyfat changes - leaner - I need to get my data collected and posted
• Libido/Sexual desire - still increased.
• Strength - definitely increasing.
• Focus/Euphoria - still no sense of euphoria...definitely more easily aggravated and agitated.
• Pumps - still nothing of note - more of a YOK3D type "ready to rock" feeling then a "pumped up"
• Size - The mirror and peoples comments confirm I am looking bigger
• Vascularity - slightly increased.
• Energy - lower - could be from my hectic schedule of late?
• Sleep Quality - Sleep seems better this past week
• Taste - still not a fan of the watermelon, sort of a bitter aftertaste
• Recovery - up in the air yet..

So I am still working on my final thoughts on TEST Powder. I really like and agree with what BigMix noted. I feel I am still on the fence with this product. I definitely felt like I could push harder and longer and go heavier while using it. But also never felt some of the other things like the pump or euphoria others described. I dislike all things watermelon flavored, but the flavor I can deal with...if there are results.

I also noticed a definite increase in agitation ...I was much more easily upset with my children and wife...an effect I really did not like.

I will double check my weights and bodyfat % but I believe I added some quality mass in the 4 weeks and my BF % decreased...

I think I will see if I can get stocked up again to run the FTP protocol from Mullet Soldier again and see if I cannot continue on that for a bit.

Thank you USP Labs for allowing me to test your new product!
