are you doing any power lifting? the traditional powerlifts like squats, heavy lunges, deadlifts, and clean/jerk/press work the entire body (including huge muscles like your quads and glutes) - which cause the body to produce more testerone.

1) How many grams of protein are you getting daily?

2) How much Creatine are you taking and what brand/type?

3) How are you lifting? Give me a breakdown of your weekly workout including any cardio.

Your friend must watch too much UFC.

At 19, you shouldn't need a product like this. Your testosterone levels should be fine, if you believe you have low test have bloodwork done to check your test levels.

Moving on to XTEST, I don't think you understand. You can't just "take" testosterone. Testosterone is a steroid and is controlled.

What XTEST is is an Anobol. If it did succeed in boosting your test levels you'd also be producing more estrogen. In addition to gyno (puffy nipples) and losing hair, you could also mess up what growing you have left. Estrogen is what causes your growth plates to seal.

I don't think you know what you're getting into, do some research before you go throwing stuff down your throat. Answer my first 3 questions and I'll tell you what you could do to help your growth, you do not need a testosterone booster.

there are a bunch of different products to help you produce testosterone. but actually TAKING tesosterone is steroids. tesosterone enanthate, sustenon, propionate, etc. is actually adding tesosterone to your body. like reechy mentioned, working out large muscle groups first helps produce tesosterone in the body naturally. also testosterone only spikes in the body for about 30-40 mins, so keep your workouts intense and within that time frame.

also if your goal is getting big, taking creatine and whey protein is not enough. you need to be taking calorie shakes like cytogainer before and after workouts and before you got to sleep (for the 8 hours or so your body is otherwise fasting). you also need to be eating high calorie meals (calories from protein, or carbs, never from fat).

testosterone doesn't really make you produce more estrogen, but when it aromatizes, it turns into it, which can cause gyno, or shrinking nuts, or other things, and when you stop taking it, mess up natural testosterone production. not that i at all advocate using tesosterone, or even test supplements, but the gynecomastia can be prevented with a 10-20mg/day dose of novaldex, and after your "cycle" 20-40mg/day dose of novaldex, and clomid therepy for 3 weeks to restore natural test production.
