Tribulus Terrestris Extract

I've got another month or so of bulking to go before cutting for the summer. I'm not trying to get anything extra packed into this month, but when it cools down again I might like to try some other supplements.

With something like this, do estrogen levels need to be kept in control? How do you know whether you're estrogen levels are high or low? Same with test. Are there any ways to tell other than having an your levels checked by a doctor?

It seems people are combining the Tribulus Terrestris Extract with one of these

Are any of these supps good for knocking off the stubborn fat during a cut?

Thanks for the info guys.
 
I've never known anyone whose had any sort of results what so ever with tribulus, there are tons of people on boards who will always back it's a total waste of money. I've never tried the other two bro - but I've used tribulus and I still want my money back! Good luck bro.
 
thanks for the info. i was looking over multis and came across the stuff. i don't think at my level i should be having an issue. the estrogen levels correlating with the tough fat (fat that won't leave) was what peaked my interest. i'm cutting in feb : )
 
I notice some benefit with tribulus (I like Tribex)... however I'm still relatively knew to lifting (getting close to 6 months tough) and we tend to gain a little more. So I'm not sure if its the Tribex. After I finish the cycle I will take some time off.
 
Terrestis is a waste of money for the most part. The only use I could find for it is a little "boost" to your workout, after you havent taken it for a long time, and you need something to provide intensity. THis effect will wear off after the second day though. I find for the price the product is highly ineffective.
 
Yea, well thats kinda what I'm looking for.

I've cut caffeine out of my pre-workout mix. I'm taking protein, arginine, and creatine right now (three separate bottles/tubs.) I'm trying to tailor a preworkout mix and I kinda feel like I need some more "go" juice, but I know caffeine is the best legal stim so I can do without if necessary.
 
I have actually used tribulus for PCT and had great results with it before. I was getting my tribulus from a very trusted friend who spent several years hunting down the best tribulus terrestis extract he could find (direct from manufacturers). The stuff he eventually settled upon was some damn potent shit. I had a kilo of it and when id open the bag the entire room I was in would smell like a spice rack, not to mention the most potent smelling and nastiest tasting burps after popping a dozen capsules down the hatch.

One MAJOR thing must be said. Not all extracts are created equal. Each company uses its own extraction techniques, therefore each brand of tribulus can be TOTALLY different than the other (same with ANY plant extract). Depending on the extraction technique used, the phytonutrient fractions captured in the finished product and their concentrations can vary by massive margins between manufacturers and brands buying from those manufacturers.


If your looking for a workout stimulant aid, why not just pickup an NO supplement? They are usually jam packed with stimulants and various forms of creatine and arginine and shwacks of other crap, sort of the whole "kitchen sink" approach. Ive always had great intensity using MuscleTechs NaNOvapor (yes I hate MuscleTech brand, but I still like this particular product).
 
Trib does nothing except maybe stimulate libido... does nothing for test levels.

Studies ive read suggests it raises LH levels which will in turn raise testosterone levels. When I used it for PCT it was with Macka and Avena Sativa, herbal trifector, worked good for me :)
