What can Novedex XT do for me?
Hey guys I've been thinking about buying this product to combine with SP250 and SO. All the ads in flex or Muscle Development even muscle &body from vitamin shoppe make this product seem like a very good test booster. Obviously they are just ads but getting my attention is the first step. I have read that many people use this as a PCT and I am not even considering run a PH cycle or anything I was just wondering if I could take novedex alone and still see any results as far as body fat reduction and strength. I really don't care about libido increase although I'm sure my girlfriend wouldn't mind. Basically what I'd like to know from you guys is can this product help me in any way or is it pointless to take? I am 19 and been lifting for years but now am looking to cut down more body fat and start training more like a bodybuilder than a power lifter like i was use to during football seasons. any advice thanks.

Yea I figured that would be the case, But if I just wanted to boost my test just a little bit could it work if i just took maybe one or two pills throughout the week just to give a tiny spike in my test levels?

I doubt it would warrant buying novedex or even taking it. There are other options for you, like activate extreme by driven sports or mass fx by anabolic xtreme. Ive used and loved both. Arachidonic acid supplements also work really well, like xfactor or max out from iforce.

Yes, I have used them personally. Mass FX would certainly help retain muscle on a cut but if you were to couple that with Lean Xtreme from Driven you have a winning combo. I used the activate xtreme and lean xtreme and lost a good amount of fat while adding 5-6 pounds. Diet and training are going to make or break you though.

No supplement will help you as much as a clean diet with as many whole foods as possible, tuned for optimal results (high protein, and either moderate fat or moderate carbs depending on your phenotype).

Yes, this is true however I wasn't specifically looking for a product to burn fat. I was looking for a strength product while cutting. I've never used any test boosters and novedex was the first one that caught my attention. obviously I have no real need to boost my testosterone but was interested in some insight on novedex. mass fx looks promising but am not looking forward to any aggression or acne side effects. I have a job as a server so i'm generally over polite most of the time and fear i might become over agressive towards my customers or my girlfriend.

Pick one goal and focus on it. If you cut with any serious intent, you cannot expect to keep all your strengh. Not even pros on gear accomplish that.

Well I've been cutting about 1 pound of fat each week and my strength continues to climb. I've spoke to several professionals through my college including one who has trained sports teams including notre dame and the oilers back in the day. and I was assured that with only a slightly lower calorie diet i can maintain and increase strength while reducing body fat. so I assumed any additional strength ergogenic products would help.

You can still lose fat without such by getting the right foods, switching around marcos, etc.

I am still considering his product but its up in the air until i'm convinced either for it or against it. gaspari says this should be used at 21+ but the bottle says don't use if under 18. I'm 19 and have been 6'2" since my freshman year i don't want to ****ing grow so if it closes my growth plates big effin deal. I just donb't want to be aggressive or sleep less.

Its not about just height we are talking here. There are other things still maturing.
I still think you are need to learn more about nutrition and working out

How long have you been lifting consistantly? without lengthy breaks? This gain in strength could be attributed to "newbie" gains

So just out of curiosity, why Novedex XT over all that Muscletech stuff? Their ads are way bigger and prettier...

the first time i picked up a magazine and saw that muscletech had a product called "nitrotech" that could add 8 pounds in weeks i was like whoa i wanna do that. later bought the cell tech and realized wait.... I got some learning to do.. that was only a year ago. i did 4 years of training with nothing not protein or creatine. then i got out of highschool got a membership at the Y read some magazines there and learned about supps. I probably don't need the novedex yet at this point in my life but its nice to dream that a product will help get you leaner and harder without much effort other than the 4-6 days a week that i put in.

considering your 19 you probably won't see much gains off novedex xt or most test boosters for that matter. your levels are most likely high enough that you won't get much use out of them. if you plan on cutting you make sure you get you BCAA to preserve and retain any muscle you currently have. might want to add ZMA possibly. thats where i would put my money at least.

Major Props to the Gaspari Reps. You guys and the DS reps are about the only ones I've seen that will go to any lengths necessary to talk someone out of buying one of your products that isn't right for them. You don't see this much in the Supp Industry. A lot of people would say anything to sell their products. Truly Respectable and Noble people. Gives me a mild semi when I see these things.  lmao But seriously its nice to have companies you can trust these days.
