The Testosterone Advantage Plan
 
Has anybody else heard of (or tried) this plan?

Today is my first day on the plan.

The plan has 3 goals:

Help overweight men lose weight and get in shape
Help men who are happy with their weight but want to get in shape get in shape
Help men who want to put on weight and get in shape

I fall into the second category, I just want to look better (although I should clarify that this is not a confidence thing).

The plan gives you a 7 day eating plan and a 9 week exercise regime (lifting weights).
2 weeks for beginners to get your body ready to handle the heavier workouts.
3 weeks of more advanced techniques.
4 weeks of more specific sets and heavier weights.
Plus how to increase the workouts over time.

I'll let you know how I get on as the weeks go by.

So...that is really only one goal. It doesn't matter whether you're too heavy, not heavy enough or just right.

Well, I eat food anyway so no extra money needed there.

I have been a member of that gym for a while anyway, I just havn't got the results I wanted so no extra money there.

The book only cost £7.99. Hardly breaks the bank.

Anyway, the question I asked is "Has anybody else heard of (or tried) this plan?" But all I got was your negativity.

I'd never heard of that one, when was it published? Is it a UK author? :confused:

Heatseeker 06-20-2006 08:28 AM
It came out in the states before being released in the UK

With that kind of logic involved, how good could it possibly be? I guess where testosterone is involved, talking about logic puzzles is inherently tautological anyhow. :-)

Sorry you didn't get what you wanted. I suggest you demand your money back.

Heatseeker 06-20-2006 10:51 AM
Does being antagonistic make you feel special?

Maggie is actually quite funny for a brainiac. You just got to read between the lines for the left brained humor.

No, there's no shortage of antagonistic people. But if you don't want your drivel mocked, don't post it in public fora. Sorry to hear about your testosterone shortage, although you'll be glad to know your impulsive agressiveness still seem to be working. Maybe an ED medication would help. :-)

ut , oh, now ,you got her using words like 'dirvel' and 'mocked'. Now she's irked.
The partys over. The word slinging begins.

xoxoxoBruce 06-20-2006 06:54 PM
Heatseeker simply asked if anyone had heard of or tried the regimen. That's hardly grounds for a personal attack.

If you've tried it, know someone who's tried it, or simply see flaws in it, disagree with it's premise, say so. :eyebrow:

I thought the pitch sounded whifty, and said so. The thread looks like viral marketing to me...and that's not the first time Heatseeker's threads have been suspected of it, especially at that thread-to-post ratio. Until he started complaining about my comment, anyway. You could always go to the main site and order a copy....they're currently giving away free copies of their other other books "The Real Man's Survival Guide" and "Seduce Her In Seconds".

Did you really expect something called "The Testosterone Advantage Plan" to pass without wisecracks here? :-)

I had the same thought, but without a link or singing it's praises, it's borderline.
I've got to give him the benefit of the doubt. It wouldn't be the first clumsy entrance by a noob. :D

Heatseeker 06-21-2006 07:28 AM
Ah but you see testosterone actually has little to do with the plan it is just called that because it is marketed towards, wait for it... men.

Then the advertising is at least deceptive if not fraudulent:

TRANSFORM YOUR BODY WITH TESTOSTERONE!

For decades, bodybuilders have known that testosterone builds muscle, burns belly fat, and increases the effectiveness of any workout. You don't have to resort to steroids to boost your testosterone levels. All you have to do is make some slight modifications in the way you work out and the way you eat-and you can send your testosterone levels through the roof!

Awesome -- it removes both unwanted fat and the hair from your head, too!

rkzenrage 06-21-2006 04:40 PM
I hope it works for anyone on it... it does nothing for me, but nothing they have tried does. My body just flushes it along with the calcium and the bone that is disintegrating. They can't give me any more than they are now.

There's a reason it's called male pattern baldness. There's also a reason that the active in Propecia (finasteride) for baldness is the same as in Proscar (for prostate hypertrophy). It's a testosterone blocker. That's why both Proscar and Propecia bear vague warnings...

Quote:
Women who are pregnant or may get pregnant must not handle broken or crushed finasteride tablets; the active ingredient could harm the unborn baby. If a pregnant woman comes into contact with broken or crushed finasteride tablets she should check with her prescriber or health care professional.
...exposure can cause intersex conditions because of the testosterone blockage.

rkzenrage 06-22-2006 06:22 PM
Yeah, none of my testosterone treatments in the past or present can ever be handled by pregnant women.

OK...I'm confused. Finasteride is a testosterone *blocker*. Your treatments are intended to *enhance* testosterone, no?

rkzenrage 06-22-2006 07:50 PM
No, my treatments are just intended to put some into my system.

I know that this is a very serious subject and all, but I can't help but find some sort of adolescent humor in this statement... :)

Well, yeah...that's what I meant. To try return your T-sterone to normal male levels.

T-sterone/estrogen balance is a subject I'm kinda familiar with. That's why I know about finasteride. :-)

Heatseeker 06-23-2006 03:06 AM
OK the penny just dropped.

Now I get it.

I have used this book with good results
 
After reading this book I was convinced that their theory, in theory, could work. It did. However, this was my life for 6 months. As with any diet, Exercise and determination are the only cultivating facts that will lose you weight. Sticking to this diet was simple. The food was good and I lost 60lbs. Now I believe without exercise I would have lost much less, but eating became somewhat normal and not too much like a diet. Hope this helped.

Welcome to the Cellar, csanti. :D
We're always happy to get first person experience.

You can't avoid the basic law, if there's more calories coming in than going out, the extra will be stored in an unflattering manor.

I wish my house could do that. You know - like I buy more stuff and my house automatically gets bigger to hold it all.

Should have built it with..... fatty, fatty, two by fours. :blush:
