1. Taste : I didn't like the taste, but this is a personal opinion of course. There was only one taste available : Pineaple. Not my favourite flavour. 2. Mixability : When I opened the tub, the powder was a bit clotted, but it dissolved well. 3. Digestibility : I had some problems with other pre-workout supplements (like Muscle Marinade) but this one was very mild for the stomach. 4. Dosing : First time, 1 scoop, I felt nothing. Next time I took 2 scoops and felt the product working. My ideal dose however was 3 scoops. 5. Strength : I felt a noticable strength increase when taking 3 scoops. 6. Energy / focus : I had an very intense focus (at 3 scoops), like I was the only one training in the gym. People tried to draw attention, didn't notice them at all, which was a strange experience. Lots of energy without a crash. 7. Pump : Unfortunately, I had no pump. However, combined with a cheap arginine supplement, I had a very intense pump. One day I had an arm day training, with an almost painful pump, never felt this before. 8. Price : I bought this product in Holland. The price was equivalent with other pre-workout supplements. 9. Overall : Very decent pre-workout supplements, although I have used better supplements. What I really liked about this product was the excellent focus and energy.

Profile: Simple profile, the only ingredient: Androsta-3,5-Diene-7,17-Dione (25mg x 3 times a day) Dosing/Taste: N/A Erase pills are very small, white, gelatin capsules that are very easy to get down. You dose these pills three times a day, 1 upon waking, 1 post workout, and 1 before bed. On off days, I would take 1 upon waking, 1 with lunch, and 1 before bed. Simple and easy. Effectiveness: 9 Erase claims to be an Aromotase Inhibitor, controls Cortisol, and increases Testosterone production. As an Aromotase Inhibitor, Erase claims to reduce the conversion of testosterone to estrogen which simultaneously increases your testosterone production. Over the last 12 weeks (includes 8 weeks of the Erase / D-Pol stack) I have lost over 30 pounds. I was obviously cutting, taking in around 500 calories below maintenance. I have leaned out a ton; especially in my chest, stomach, and lower back (the more troublesome areas for heavier people) that I couldn’t seem to lose with other fat burners I have taken like OEP. I noticed in weeks 3&4 during my D-Pol/Erase cycle is when I started slimming down more in these areas and it just continued throughout the rest of the cycle. I also noticed increased vascularity, muscle hardness, and solid strength increases in all of my lifts. Sides: The only reason I didn’t give Effectiveness a 10 was because of the joint discomfort and there’s always room for improvement. At week 3, I started feeling my elbows and knees were having some discomfort. Nothing too overbearing, but definitely noticeable. However, it was a sign to me that Erase was working. I just upped my Fish Oil intake and the joint discomfort subsided. Value: 9 You can get Erase for around $25-$30 for a 30 day supply depending on where you buy from. Still relatively cheap, especially in comparison with Erase Pro which is around $55 a pop. Overall: 9 Minus the joint discomfort, Erase is a very solid product. In conjunction with D-Pol, I received results that were above and beyond my expectations. Like I mentioned before, I started slimming down in the more problematic areas, increased strength & vascularity, and the transformation has really improved my self-esteem. I recommend running a full 8 week cycle with Erase with a DAA product (D-Pol) to receive the full effects from this product. I am excited to use Erase Pro to see if there are any drastic differences and I’ll be sure to give a thorough review of Pro as well. Until next time…

Profile: Ingredients: Vitamin D3 4000IU 1000% Vitamin B6 2mg 100% Vitamin B9 400mcg 100% Vitamin B12 6mcg 100% Sodium 130mg 5% LH/Free Testosterone/ATP Amplifying Vasodiolatory Oxygen Sparing Matrix D-Aspartic Acid (3,120mg), Nitratine (std. for 73% nitrates), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (4,000IU) 3600.1mg Dosing/Taste: N/A These pills are chalky and large, so as long as you don’t have a problem swallowing large pills, there should be no issue…just don’t let them sit in your mouth for too long or else they will dissolve. I took 3 pills of D-Pol with 1 Opti-Men, 1 hour before my workout. Sometimes I would take it with a small meal (Protein shake and/or banana), didn’t really see a difference with or without food…the outcome was always the same. Effectiveness: 9.5 Test Boosting: 9 I ran this product along with PES Erase for 8 weeks. Like I stated before, this was my first test boosting agent so I have nothing really to compare it to, but I think the results speak for itself. During this 8 week cycle, I was cutting and my calorie intake was around 500 below maintenance. With that being said, I still gained solid strength increases in all of my lifts. I also experienced the alpha male feeling while in the gym, a bit more aggression, increased muscle hardness and just ready to pound out my sets. However, the only drawback was that there was an increase in acne, but that seemed to subside after a couple weeks. (Not enough of a factor to prevent me from using D-Pol) Pump: 10 I’ve taken a few pump products like Nitrox II and Yok3d, but D-Pol blows them out of the water. The pump consistent everyday and I noticed a significant increase in vascularity. I started to notice new veins in my arms and shoulders that I’ve never seen before. Furthermore, you don’t have to try and figure out when the best time is to dose it (like I had to do with Yok3d)…1 hour pre-workout and you’re good to go. Value: 10 I originally bought my first 2 tubs from Lockout for $22.95 a piece which is still an awesome deal considering you see just pump products almost double in price. I recently bought 2 tubs from TFsupplements for $17 a piece and I’ll be receiving 2 of those bad a** Purus Labs Shakers. Really can’t beat the value. Overall: 10 This is probably the best supplement I’ve used to date – in relation to value and effectiveness. I will definitely be using this product in the future (during my current recomp log). Like all of the expert reviews have mentioned, this product really stands by what it claims to do. It’s cheap, extremely effective, but I would definitely recommend using it for a full 8 week cycle considering I didn’t really start to see the full effects until about week 3. Weeks 4-8 were just excellent; consistent great workouts, pump, and energy. I recommend this product to anyone over the age of 21.

I got d-pol for 18 plus shipping and feel its one of the best supplement purchases I've ever made. I want to make a couple of things clear...I agree with another reviewer (I can't remember who it was) to never give 10's as no product is perfect. Nine's however, represent the best to me...so far :) The other thing I want to mention is for all the people reading...my reviews must be seen in the light of my age. What I took with d-pol... L-arginine ON Optimen Whey Yohimbine hcl GNC Creatine Dosing 3 pills with food 45 mins before working out. Two things here, I tried waiting 1 hour before working out but the pump and effectiveness was better at 45 mins for me. Also, someone wrote that they could take this on an empty stomach...not me...gurgling stomach...bathroom...you get the idea. I'm pretty sure it was the nitrates. Taste: ? I never really noticed a taste. The pills are not coated so I guess if you suck on them you'd taste something. But I can take a handful of pills at a time so these were no problem for me. Pump 9 I've tried other products and d-pol has given me the best pumps of all of them. What I noticed first was my biceps balling up in the gym and remaining tight throughout the day. When I added the creatine, I started to see peaks :) I think this is a great product to mix with creatine because it counters any major water retention so you get size and definition. Is it a ripped look...no. But, still great. Testboosting. 9 I started noticing a feeling of "wellness" by day 4. By day 14 my libido increased, not through the roof mind you, but there. I think the most obvious results came in my leaning out. I never had an alpha feeling as mentioned by others. Value 9.5 For the money...this pill does everything that gets me excited about working out. People used to ask me, "Why are you working out?" Of course they are mostly all overweight. And my answer is, and you have to life to understand, "There is only one other thing I can do to make me feel as alive;). I did just order Primaforce DAA so I'll let you know how that goes in another review. Thanks everyone here for your great reviews on d-pol. I'm definitely buying it again.

How I ran it - I ran two of them back to back for about 7 weeks. dosed it normally for the first tub at 3 pills a day pwo, or in the morning on rest days. The second tub i ran at 4 pills a day dosed at 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon to see if it affected me any differently. Pumps - 8/10. My muscles definitely felt fuller and more solid all the time. I wouldnt really call this a pump though, as the muscles remained the same size. I found this effect very similar to animal stak and testopro, but not much better. However, I really did notice the better pumps in the gym. I usually take a pw with d-pol and got really nice pumps, but i also tried d-pol preworkout alone and still received great pumps. I did not notice an increase in pump when I increased the dosage. Strength/Endurance - 9.5/10. I am not a competitive powerlifter but i train like one. The first 4 weeks or so, I was eating under maintenance, and very few carbs, often under 75 grams a day. While doing this, my strength did not go up, but I was able to maintain my strength while getting leaner, which was fine by me. As long as i don't lose any strength, I'm happy. Losing 5 lbs on my bench would throw me into a deep depression lol. The next three weeks however, I was eating a little more and gained 3 lbs, up to 181 lbs. I gained 15 lbs on my bench and finally hit 300. One of the best days of my life especially since I had been stuck at 285 for 7 months. Endurance improved a decent amount. I was able to lift longer without getting as tired. Test boosting - 12/10. This is where the product REALLY shined. I know that I am only 20 and shouldn't feel these effects so much, but WOW. I was so horny all the time and would often get nrb's. It would get quite annoying just to walk by a hot girl in public. Had to go clutch on the quick flip several times lol. Also, my orgasms were a lot more intense (not sure if appropriate, but figured id mention it anyways). Those were the good effects of the t boosting. While on this, my skin started getting extremely oily and acne developed on my chest and back starting week 4. I have never had these problems before with animal stak or testopro. These effects were minimal UNTIL I increased the dosage to 4 pills a day. Only then did the skin get really oily and the acne started showing. I didn't really care much though since no one was gonna see it. Taste - N/A. Pills are large and chalky and have no taste, but honestly, who cares. Man up and just take them. Value - 10/10. Got both of these for 25 bucks a tub on ebay. I always get my supps on ebay. for 50 bucks, I got 7 weeks of awesomeness. Which is about as much as a normal 4 week t booster costs. Important side note - its now 3 weeks after I finished my second tub and the t boosting effects have not dwindled one bit. Im still horny as can be and my skin is still super oily. Pumps and endurance are gone though. So even though it was only a 7 week cycle, Im still going 10 weeks and strong on the t boosting side.
