Just wondering if anyone else has used this besides myself and Rob?

I used while doing Blueprint 3.0 a few months ago and thought it worked great. I had basically no DOMS and had a great run. My only issue was that after I stopped (I had been using it for 30 days) I kind of felt crappy for the next couple of weeks-just worn out.

I'm considering using it for my next run which is a repeat of a custom recomp program that Rob put together for me last year. I will be using The Formula, KA, and AN. What I'm thinking of doing is using the TrueTurk only during the hardest couple of weeks of the 6 week run, instead of all the way through.

Any comments or suggestions?

drtda,

Please post back what you find out in your runs using turk. Thx.

From what I've seen, I would do a trial of using it only day before, day of, and day after my very hardest workouts of each week.

TrueTurk is indeed an excellent product. I've used alongside The BP Mass Stack (didn't want to give that up, given it does me right) and have a LOT of insight here.

drtda, please PM me your email address and phone #. I have something special in mind for you...

I used it on my last run, took it for 2 weeks, started taking it in the beginning of my third week of Feast. My recovery time was great, and I intend to take it on my upcoming run. I am hoping that it will allow me to shorten my rest period between on days; I was doing 1 on 2 off, and I want to cut it down to 1 on 1 off for my next run. Definitely recommend, wish they'd cut the price down a little haha

Yea, the price is a bit steep. But Tonvara is a pretty cool company-they screwed up the shipping on my order, so they sent me a replacement and didn't charge me for the first container when it eventually came in.

that is pretty cool, gotta appreciate companies that take care of their customers.

I just did some checking and found that there is an equal quantity of turkesterone in MegaTurk and TrueTurk; 100mg each. They're the same price, but you get 50mg of Ecdysterone with the MegaTurk, plus the other stuff they throw in there... ginseng and rutin. So I am definitely going to be going with that on the next order rather than TrueTurk by itself.

My real question about this turkesterone is dosage. Tonvara recommends taking 4 caps, 400mg, daily; however I am wondering if it's necessary to take so much when one is already taking a high dosage of ecdysterone a la Blueprint.

drtda, how did you dose it? anyone else that's taken it, same question - what dosage did you use, and did you at any point use a smaller dose versus a larger dose and notice a difference?

I ran it for 30 days straight during my 3.0 run. I did the prescribed 4 tablets daily, split up as 4 doses.

Like I said earlier, it almost seemed to work too well, as I had felt crappy after coming off of it. Looking back, I think I could have pushed myself even harder than I did during my run, considering that I had no DOMS the entire time. The question there is whether to increase volume at each workout or decrease the # of rest days. I was going with a 1 on, 1 off routine, which I like, so increased volume would probably win out.

My goal this time is use it more sparingly at the 4 tablet dosage mainly during my 2 hardest weeks-probably weeks 3 and 6-and see what the results are.
