"I have been truly impressed with TestoFX™ Hardcore. I’ll be honest, as with most supplements, I was extremely skeptical. I only incorporate supplements into my routine when I see and feel results. I didn’t expect that I would feel it, or see results. TestoFX™ delivered in a big way. My workouts have been far more intense and I’ve felt extremely strong – even through the end of some monsterous sets. I’ve started to see some serious improvement in muscle thickness, density and striations.
I take great pride in having been exceptionally successful in getting my clients the results that win. I would never trust my physique, or my clients’ success to anything I didn’t have complete confidence in."

What would you say the best exercises are for putting on mass?
Compound movements such as dead lifts, squats, bench press and whole body pull ups are complex and involve several large muscle groups at once. Exercises like this, performed with intensity, force your body to respond.
Do you find that TestoFX™ Hardcore helps your workout?
I have been truly impressed with TestoFX™ Hardcore. I’ll be honest, as with most supplements, I was extremely skeptical. I only incorporate supplements into my routine when I see and feel results. I didn’t expect that I would feel it, or see results. TestoFX™ delivered in a big way. My workouts have been far more intense and I’ve felt extremely strong – even through the end of some monsterous sets. I’ve started to see some serious improvement in muscle thickness, density and striations.
If I’m competing will the there be any issues associated with using TestoFX™ Hardcore?
No, and yes this is a good question to ask. As a natural athlete, this was a major concern for me. There are no banned substances in TestoFX™ Hardcore.
Why do you want to minimize androgenic effects with a testosterone booster such as TestoFX™ Hardcore.
How does TestoFX™ do this?
I was concerned about this as well, as I expect anyone would be. Most people associate testosterone with synthetic steroids, TestoFX doesn’t work that way. I am happy to say that I’ve had zero negative side effects. In speaking with the research staff at ALLMAX, they explained how Testosterone optimization works. The main key to it is really the 5 phase approach: 1 – reduction of cortisol; 2 – increase in active, free testosterone; 3 – increasing testosterone receptor affinity (a fancy way of saying making sure the receptor is clean and healthy so that testosterone can work); 4 – reduction of estrogen by blocking and reducing conversion; and 5 – reduction of DHT.
Have you noticed a change to your body since you started using TestoFX™ Hardcore?
I have noticed increased muscle thickness, muscle hardness has become more prominent, muscle bellies appear more full and I’m seeing better muscle separation. There is no question that my training intensity has had a lot to do with this, but that’s where it gets really interesting. I’ve found that my sets have been aggressively intense and my strength has held out longer than normal. I’ve noticed a dual effect in that my training has been superior and my results have been really impressive.
How is increasing your free testosterone levels beneficial?
Testosterone is responsible for every aspect of being male. Active, free testosterone is critically important for the effects you see and feel. Between elevated cortisol and blood plasma proteins such as SHBG and Albumin as much as 98% of testosterone will have little or no impact on real results. TestoFX™ has provided patented and scientifically studied ingredients that work together, hand-in-glove to elevate the levels of active, free testosterone that creates the powerful effects you can feel and deliver the results you will notice.
What causes Cortisol levels to be elevated and why is it important to reducing these levels?
Cortisol is rather insidious, that is to say that aside from the stress of daily life, working out hard will elevate your cortisol levels. Cortisol has a negative correlation with Testosterone, that is to say that as Cortisol increases, Testosterone decreases. Elevated Cortisol will work to minimize your gains; it is one of the most frequently overlooked, yet most important components to success in the gym and results you can see. TestoFX™ is the only product I’m aware of that has a Cortisol control blend, backed by human clinical trials and branded, dual patented ingredient; it has shown a marked decrease in serum Cortisol of 26% on average!
Why do you trust the ALLMAX line of products in your competition supplement routine?
Long before I was ever a sponsored athlete, I was proudly taking ALLMAX supplements and recommending them to my clients. As I mentioned above, I have always been extremely skeptical about what supplements I will try, let alone add to my routine. ALLMAX products have proven themselves to me time and again as products I can trust absolutely. My business is based on getting my clients into top condition for national level competitions. I take great pride in having been exceptionally successful in getting my clients the results that win. I would never trust my physique, or my clients’ success to anything I didn’t have complete confidence in.
Testosterone is heavily affected by the physical stress placed on your body during the intense workouts that will be required to build a lean, hard, muscular physique. TestoFX™ Hardcore has key proven ingredients that reduce those negative, progress-halting effects. In order to ensure you get the most out of your Testosterone and achieve maximum impact from every workout, you’ll need to optimize your workout too.

What you eat, and don’t eat can help to determine whether your Testosterone is up, or down. Clearly, the weight of science is on the side of TestoFX™ Hardcore with respect to maximizing the effect and impact of Testosterone, but by following the tips below you can help ensure that you’re doing everything right to get your Testosterone up where and when it needs to be. These Testosterone diet tips will help you get stronger, leaner and bigger faster!
Consume Adequate Calories and Do NOT Miss Meals
Your body needs a steady supply of calories to make testosterone, so regularly skipping meals or going for long stretches without eating can cause your testosterone levels to plummet. Research has demonstrated that low calorie diets are associated with lower testosterone levels.
Consume Adequate Carbohydrates
Research suggests that eating a high protein, low carb diet can lower your testosterone levels. Many suggest to eat 2 grams per pound of bodyweight per day, keeping your carbs-protein ratio around 2:1, which may be ideal for elevating testosterone levels.
What To Know About Fiber
When strictly following a testosterone diet, it is suggested to avoid higher fiber foods which tend to lower testosterone, however, you still need some fiber for many health reasons, so include whole-wheat bread, fruit and vegetables in your nutrition plan. However, eating a healthy bodybuilding diet should give you enough fiber to stay healthy.
Protein
Get enough protein but not too much! Some research suggests that consuming more protein than carbs may lower testosterone levels. High amounts of dietary protein in your blood can eventually lower the amount of testosterone produced in your testes. Make sure your protein comes from animal sources such as meat, fish, chicken and whey protein or high protein dairy products; vegetarian diets have been associated with lower testosterone levels in males. Be sure that you are consuming an adequate amount of clean carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, oatmeal and other low glycemic vegetables (slowly digested/absorbed).
Eat Some Fat and increase Your EFA Consumption
Your body needs dietary fat to produce testosterone. Research suggests that when total fat, saturated fat and monounsaturated fat intakes increase, so does testosterone. Studies found that men who ate diets rich in monounsaturated fat - the kind found in peanuts - had the highest levels of testosterone. Therefore, eat a diet of 30% fat and not much less of your total calories, but don’t overload on polyunsaturated fats, instead concentrate on choosing monounsaturated fats found in nuts, olives, olive oil and avocadoes and saturated fats from red meat and egg yolks.
Include a Pre- and Post Workout Shake
Consuming a shake after you train has been found to increase the amount of testosterone taken up by muscle cells. This will also ensure that you are consuming enough calories throughout the day.
Reduce Your Intake of Soy
Soy protein raises the body’s levels of estrogen (the main female hormone) and this can have a direct negative effect on your testosterone levels.
Limit Your Consumption of Alcohol
Although alcohol does have its health benefits, alcohol has been shown to have a dramatic effect on testosterone levels. Try to limit your "binge drinking" nights and keep your alcohol consumption in moderation.
Eat Clean Foods
If your goal is to gain size and mass while getting lean and cut, drive up your metabolism. Increase your caloric intake, but keep the foods “clean”. This includes things like; chicken breasts, lean steak, eggs, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, lettuce/mixed greens, broccoli, etc. You should limit or exclude things like; processed foods, most types of sauce, high glycemic foods (such as white bread, pasta, and sugar (except after intense workouts)).
Increase Your Metabolism
It is worth noting muscle tissue is a highly metabolic tissue, which means that as you increase the amount of muscle your metabolism must also increase. As you train hard, eat clean and increase your muscle mass, your body will become far more efficient at burning fat and utilizing calories. With increased Testosterone, this combination will result in a leaner more muscular physique.
Foods You Should Eat More Of !!!
Raw Oysters
Oysters are a perfect testosterone enhancing food to add to your diet, because they contain high levels of zinc. Zinc plays a key role in muscle growth and testosterone levels.
Red Meat
Beef offers the added benefit of high protein and zinc – two nutrients that are key to optimizing testosterone and your muscle-building potential. Although, you do not want to get too much saturated fat, for obvious health reasons, your require some to produce testosterone. Additional suggestions of red meat include wild game, ribs, roast, lamb and pork chops
Beans
Beans are an ideal food for helping to increase testosterone through your diet because of their high zinc content.
Eggs
Eggs aside from their protein content also supply cholesterol, which is used to synthesize testosterone. Foods containing cholesterol (such as red meat already mentioned) are a good source of building blocks for testosterone. It is also valuable to know that research shows that the cholesterol in egg yolks does not raise LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol levels.
Increase Your Dietary Intake of Cruciferous Vegetables
Cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, cabbage, bok choy, turnip greens, watercress, arugula, kale, rutabaga, all contain phytochemiclas that can lower bad estrogens and potentially lessen their negative impact on testosterone production, thereby raising testosterone levels.
Almonds(or Nuts in general)
Almonds are a prime source of essential fatty acids and high in zinc. These are vital as they provide the raw material for a man's healthy production of hormones.
Avoid - The following foods should be avoided as they are not testosterone friendly:
Fried foods, pizza, lasagna, pancakes, whole milk, ice cream, cookies, hamburgers, most Mexican food and most Chinese food – You have to be careful of what you are putting in your body when you eat out.
Processed and chemical-laden deli meats.
Highly processed white breads – Go for multigrain dark bread.
Foods high in sugar (i.e. fruit juices) – Eating some fruit is okay, but avoid most fruit juices as they are typically high in sugar
Fatty meats – If you decide to eat meat to bulk up, avoid fatty red meat, pork and lamb which are loaded with high levels of saturated fat and instead choose fish, poultry or leaner cuts of beef.
