I've run both Triazole, Erase & Erase Pro on it's own. It's a bit hard to say which one is best because other factors (diet, workout regime etc) plays a major role as well, but I feel like I've had the most success with Erase Pro, so that is my favourite. Each time I've tried these supplements, I've always run them for 8 weeks.
Recently, predatornutrition had some "special offers", so I bought some bottles of normal Erase (Pro were out of stock), Triazole, and I also bought Craze / Enhanced... and I got 2 bottles with "Anabeta" for free. So Im also taking Craze / Enhanced before each workout. From before I had a bottle of formasurge and a bottle of Lean Xtreme, so I will be taking that as well..
Okey then!
I will use the following for up to 8 weeks:
- Craze & Enhanced before each workout (I use craze one day, enhanced the next day..etc)
- Triazole, 3 caps e/d
- Erase, 3-4 caps e/d (4 on workout days, 3 on normal days)
- Formasurge, 4 squirts e/d (until bottle is empty)
- Anabeta, 4 caps e/d
- Lean Xtreme, 2 caps e/d (Until bottle is empty)
I've already been on it for almost 2 weeks now, I think...
Stats & little history:
Been working out for 10 years or so. But it's not until ~the last year I might have found the 'key to success'. My normal 'weight' was usually around ~93-95kg, and I was always in good shape, just not that 'ripped'. I then completely changed the way I eat. I stopped eating rice, potatoes & bread (less carbs), and increased my protein intake a bit. Since then, I've never been under 200g proteins e/d. I have no idea how many calories I eat, since I don't want to live as a slave to the carbohydrates. Basically I eat whatever I want. Slowly my weight dropped from ~95kilos down to ~84kilos (Lost around 1kilo each month). I maintained most of my muscles/strength, with the help of Erase Pro / Formestane, I think.
95 vs 85 kg:
My last round on Erase Pro, after going down 10 kilos, I did the following lifts:
- 3 reps with 220kg deadlift (I can only estimate, but I think I would be good for around 240kg on a good day)
- 2 reps with 135kg benchpress
- 1 rep with 155kg squat
- 5 reps with BW+40kilos, chins
- These are not my max lift.. only what I've lifted after going down 10 kilos.
I've always struggled with the technique on squat... So recently I started from scratch again, focusing 100% on technique (I blame my retarded long body), and I've increased the weights quite rapidly. So I know I will increase my lift here, regardless of what I use... I think ;D My biggest weakness, compared to other lifts, I think.. but im very strong on all other leg exercises.
After I was done with Erase Pro, I noticed my strength decreased a bit (might be because of my stupid head as well).. so im excited to see if I manage to increase my lifts with my current "cycle".
In order to increase strength, you need to be in surplus with calories, obviously... but I say fuck that. I don't want to count calories or eat like a rat. I eat whatever I want. On strength days, I eat a little more than I do on cardio days (Btw im not saying this to be offensive in any ways to people that do count calories, and have a very strict diet.. all respect to you! I know you will have a lot better results than me).
I can give an example of how I eat:
Morning: 1 shake when I wake up (25g proteins),
Lunch: 1 l milk + 2 eggs (70g proteins)
Dinner: (4-600g meat.. sammon, chicken, beef.. doesn't matter what.. I always make something GOOD (Hobby chef)! With vegetables and I tend to eat a lot of sour cream (23g proteins per 100g), or coconut milk.. Anyway: 80-140g proteins each dinner.
After workout: 25-50g (shake),
Supper: 25-50g proteins (2-3 eggs and some milk..)
So my proteintake is never under 200g proteins each day. I also take omega 3/6 when I wake up, and before bed.

Looking forward to next week...
Hmm it seems I've written down my entire life story, and I doubt anyone really cares... hehe.. but oh well. The point of this log is mostly for myself, but perhaps someone else might find it interesting also (seeing as I take some popular supplements). My goal is basically to just lean a bit out, and increase my lifts a bit. I've struggled with lifting 140kilos in bench for quite some time (after losing 10 kilos, this is the only exercise I noticed I decreased a lot in) - I recently changed my technique here, and my goal is to lift ~150kilos within 2 months again. I would also like to lift 250kg in deadlift again, and ~170kg in squat... and perhaps 8 reps with +40kg in chins... note: These are just goals 
If I manage to lean out while increasing some of my lifts just a little bit, im quite happy.
JOINT PAINS? NO, I do not have any joint pains whatsoever.
