Lifts
Caveat, 150kg was my actual 1RM here, this is just calculated 1RM from my working sets. Flat Bench:
Starting weight: 115
End of 400mg : 125
End of 600mg : 128
End of 800mg: 132
I don't have a chart for this made up for bench, but those are the stats.
4weeks till 1RM tests.
Analysis:
I'm pretty deep into this experiment now and have a good idea on what effective turk is, there are plenty of questions still to be answered around the effective dose but I think we are closer to finding what that is... aka not 800mg or 8g total of the powder.
In hind sight I think I would of seen the same results starting at 1-2grams and slowly titrated up to a absolute max of 6g (600mg). For those running either mine or Dereks product I would suggest staying within these ranges, that is unless you don't mind burning a hole in your wallet to find your upper tolerance.
As for my body composition, as you can see i'm hold a lot of fat which makes things fairly hard to properly compare. That being said though, I have for sure made some gains with this cycle, I just look and feel more full. I can only really put that down to the extra muscle that i'm now carrying around. I have only gained around 2kg (5lb) of muscle during these 10 weeks but I am certain that is nearly all muscle tissue, my strength has gone up in all my lifts fairly significantly. I guess the real test will be if I keep the strength after coming off completely.
For those who will undoubtably say that 2kg of weight gain is nothing to write home about you must understand that I am eating at around maintenance with the general goal of body recomposition. The fact that I have gained what I have is, in my opinion a testament to how effect the compound is. Would I of gained more on traditional AAS? Undoubtably, but I would of exposed my HPTA axis to exogenous hormones leading it to shutdown, this has not happened on Turkesterone.
Moving forward I will be keeping my calories and diet the same while decreasing the dose to 4grams of the powder daily equating to 400mg of Turkesterone. The aim of these next 4 weeks will be to determine if I have built up any kind of tolerance to Turkesterone and to see if my progress stalls, reverses or continues in the same manner.
Final words
Cheers to everyone who is joining me on this little experiment. I'm having a lot of fun with it and to be honest with you all, i'm really excited with the results that I've gotten so far. I went into this experiment expecting both nothing and a legal steroid. Well, I think i'm getting something in-between from my current data. I'm beyond happy with the body part gains, even if they are transient lasting only as long as the experiment its a novel experience putting on what feels like lean mass this fast.
Along side this, a lot of you have been getting back to my with your results and I'm chuffed to bits that so far, not a single one of you has had no results. I know that this data sample may be skewed to towards those who may want results and there for see them. But regardless it is very promising and it makes me hopeful that Turkesterone can make into the mainstream market, or at the very least make existing Turkesterone products higher quality.
FAQ
Where did you get your turk.
I sourced my own raws, got them tested and sell them on my site https://www.neekbodtogreekgod.co.uk/shop The first batch went real fast so hoping we will see some more logs on here with people who are trying it.
Is it complete with Cyclodextrin
no
What do I think of Ecdysterone
Unsure, I plan on doing an experiment on it like I have done with Turk after a few weeks of this experiment ending
Does it effect your hormones
It shouldn't, all logs we have so far suggest no. From my blood test results my hormones have remained unchanged.

Your body, your choice, we don't have the data to say either way

No idea, personally I only trust science.bio, Gorilla mind and my own stuff.
Can I DM you for help
Always happy to help
Why don't you take Dereks Turk
It was always out of stock
Why don't you just take traditional roids.
Honestly would if I could, but Fiancé would not be a happy girl and my line of work would not allow it.
