The ROP works, screw all you nay sayers!

[Bryson]

I'm so pissed right now. For those of you that don't know I bodybuild and have suspected myself of suffering from low testosterone so as you can imagine, every pound of muscle I built has been a struggle. Well I believe in the ROP and know what it has done for me first hand but after all the negative hoopla lately I had to see if it was real or just placebo.

Well for the second week now since having stopped wearing my ROP, my weights in the gym have gone down, apetite and moods are not as high as usual. Even Dash has used the ROP to increase his test. I'm very analytical about stuff and I hate that I don't have any hard proof(as if this isn't enough) and I know that correlation does not always mean causation but I'd be willing to bet that my weights will go up as soon as I start wearing the ROP. For those of you that are unsure about it, the only way to know for sure is to try it out yourself. Personally the ROP is back where it belongs, around my package lol.

some people go for it.. some are against it.... you guys should stir some commottion and get a lab to test it... this could be a new invention thing i bet theres labs too that will try

Yeah, they could join forces with the De-Bunk DLD Lab

Bro your mind is much more powerful than that ROP can ever be... If you really believe that wearing it will improve your lift, then it prolly will... the opposite is also true. It may simply be a placebo effect. Until someone can provide before and after blood tests, i'm not convinced...

This is more than placebo, I lost a lot of strength. I just started loading up on creatine to try to get my strength back up quickly. Either way my point is that those that say it doesn't work have no more proof than those that say it does. I just wish we had more people testing their test levels so that we could say for sure. It's like taking vitamins or zinc. You won't "notice" anything but you take it to prevent any deficiencies and keep everything running smoothly. I think the ROP helps my test levels running at a normal level.

Btw, DLD did you ever end up getting your before and after test levels checked?

Well, thats great Bryson. Too bad all the rest who have worn one for several months (including myself) cant say the same. Glad it works for you though!

I have my before but no money to get the after yet

I got mine checked, all normal.... before and after.. *shrugs* been wearing 2 rops for 6 months.

So it didnt help or hurt it would seem. Curious. Were the test numbers the same as well? Or did they just tell you "normal" without the specific results.

I have a hunch it MIGHT work for people with lower test IF worn for shorter time periods. I want to run a study though.

My thought on the ROP is that EVERYONE that is going to wear one should have their test levels taken before wearing it and then every 3 months or so when wearing it.

If I hadnt tested my levels before wearing it I would still be wearing it and wondering why I continually felt like SHIT.

So the ROP made you feel this way?

 

[pepepe]

like i posted b4 im pretty sure the rop works for people with lower test levels.i've noticed changes .

Yes k420 it did. I havent worn it now for almost 4 weeks now. Im finally returning to my "normal" self.

Strength returning, less moody(depression type which Ive never been) actually starting to see MORE growth. Finally gained some length, .25 inches and in all fairness I did change my program. But I swear I lost length wearing the ROP. Confused me to no end.

My warning to anyone is to have your test levels taken before you wear it. If you didnt and you start feeling like shit while wearing, DONT think that it will get better. Chances are it wont.

Here is a more detailed thread on it.

What proof do you have that it doesn't work? I stopped wearing mine as I've been wearing it for awhile now, not because I cared what you said but because I wanted to see for myself if it still had an effect on me. It's more than psychosomatic. The reason I say that is because I keep a log everytime I go to the gym and for the second week in row my weights and overall work capacity has gone down. Plus I'm more sore, tired and less driven then usual which could indicate levels of low testosterone. Let's just say that I am very intune with my body which I guess doesn't mean much but then again I am not here trying to convince you or sell you anything. Just giving you my opinion through experience.

"It would be very odd if it did not elevate the test for high to mid level test guys but helped low test guys? That's not too likely, and seems like a last ditch effort/excuse"

And please don't try to push my buttons with a statement like that. The ROP is not a steroid. If you already have mid/high levels of testosterone then it probably won't elevate them higher than what is normal for a healthy male. However if you have low test than the change is more likely to be noticeable. The same could be said for other test increaing products such as tribulus or ZMA. People are making money on these products and yet there are tons of people that say it doesn't work. Personally Trib never did shit for me and ZMA works for me but I just take Zinc tablets as it does the same thing and for much cheaper!

Anyways, what I'll do is get my test levels checked now so that I have a baseline reading and maybe stop wearing my ROP sometime in the future and get tested again. For now though I'm willing to bet that things will be back to "normal" in a weeks time.
