Ramp up testosterone and growth hormone, lower inflammation, and improve workout recovery with the Aggressive Strength Bundle
As a pro athlete and a human being, I strives for perfection in health and performance daily. Along with training and restoration, my nutrition is a pillar of my existence. The foods I eat and the supplements I take must be clean; that is organic, free range and wild caught where possible as well as having no artificial anything. Though Mike Mahler's supplement line hasn't been out for a long time, It didn't stop me from purchasing and including them in my daily regimen. My trust in Mike's product line is because I know that Mike is a man of solid integrity and his knowledge on nutrition and supplementation is second to none. For him to stamp his name on a supplement, I knew that function and high quality would be unmatched!
This has been one of the best performance years for me in my entire life. I have achieved a Master of Sport ranking in kettlebell sport, won the Dominant Male Title at the International Kettlebell Games, broke the deadlift National and World record twice each, as well as took 1st place in two different divisions at the AWPC World Powerlifting Meet. Now, can I claim that the Mike Mahler Supplement Line is the reason that I have achieved those things, not singularly, but I can't deny that as a 45 year young athlete that is continuing to get stronger and more fit by the day, they have contributed to my success. I use the Recovery Oil, Aggressive Strength, as well as Restorezyme in my regular regimen. I train 7 days a week most of the time, the only way I could pull this off is if my nutrition and recovery were on point! These three supplements definitely assist in me staying in the game!
Not only am I an athlete, I'm a gym, powerlifting team and kettlebell team owner, as well as a health and performance public speaker. Integrity is everything to me! My word has to be worth more than gold. Because Mike Mahler's values and integrity mirrors my own, I stand by his products and promote them to all that I coach and teach.

Why you should be on Aggressive Strength!
In stock and ready to ship now
In the 6 weeks since starting with your sup, my Total T went to 746 and Free went to 108!!! Man that's epic...especially considering I started at 330 initially 6 months ago!!
Since being at 330 Total, I've come down from 268lbs to 228lbs. I feel super-athletic again and am pumped about flag football coming up in 2 weeks.
Here's to not feeling like a "eunuch" anymore like you say - haha!
I'm also halfway thru Live Life Aggressively and have to say its very entertaining and full of irrefutable truth...nice work!
Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication that continues to be invested in folks lives!

When my doctor ordered some blood work for a general physical in January of 2013, I asked him to check my testosterone. It was low, and not wanting to start TRT, I was looking for a way to boost testosterone naturally. A few months later I ordered aggressive strength. Halfway into my second cycle of taking it I ordered a hormone panel from life extension. I was pleased to see that my total went up by 127 points!

I'm a science-minded person who tends to view things that may seem to be alternative or a bit fringe with a healthy dose of skepticism, so it was with this critical eye that I viewed your testosterone booster.
Once again, after a few days my life was changed for the better, far better. I don't keep a training journal, so I don't know if my lifts have improved much, but at this stage in my life I'm just happy to maintain, which I'm sure I have. I think even for my age my sex life has been pretty good, but because of your testosterone booster I never thought in my wildest dreams it could be this good. I'm not going to go into details, but let's say with my girlfriend I have been revisiting my days when I was tomcatting around in my twenties. Just two capsules a day for a month and a half. Incredible. I've taken two months off and now I'm quite eager to begin another month and a half cycle.
Congratulations, Mike, on a fabulous product equal or greater than your training advice I've been following for years now with results that have far exceeded anything I've experienced in more than 40 years of training.

I tried Mike Mahler's Aggressive Strength T Booster and I very quickly noticed that my workouts got longer and longer, and I just felt good about adding sets, reps and exercises. I don't use a scale, or really study the mirror, but I do work out everyday and I could feel the quicker recovery and greater enthusiasm for heavy bells. I experiment with supplements all the time, and they nearly never do anything, so I was very pleasantly surprised at the definite and noticeable change. Thanks Mike!

Your testosterone booster is the best supplement that I've tried. I'm 40 years old and work as a wildland firefighter. In the last few years I've been feeling it too. I primarily rely on KB and body weight training to stay in shape for my job. Since starting this supplement I've REALLY noticed a significant decrease in recovery time and have blown the doors off of my previous best times and numbers. Now, if they'll stop this stupid damn govt. shutdown and let me get back to work I'll order some more from you.
Thanks for giving this beat up firefighter a boost.

For someone who has tried their share of herbs, formulas, supplements, etc. absolutely nothing compares to Aggressive Strength!
I feel it within a half hour of taking it. I'd like to describe it as a wave of confidence and energy.
When I take Aggressive Strength before a workout I feel outstanding at the gym. Explosive! My workouts aren't the only thing that is explosive.
When I take Aggressive Strength for a few consecutive days my sex drive and libido go through the roof. My girlfriend can't get enough as I am even larger. No joke!
I'm 240 pounds and one pill is enough to feel an effect for an entire day. The shit is strong.
--Jeffrey Quiros
This stuff is pretty amazing. I really wasn't expecting it have such a big effect on me. Within just 4 or 5 days of taking it I felt like a super hero. I was in a super good mood all the time, and had a major increase in confidence. I had more energy for my workouts and felt like I was getting more out of them. I've gotten stronger, hitting a new 1-rep pr on deadlift at 415. And I've gained about 5 pounds, going from 176 to 181. This is the first time I've gotten to 180 in my life.--Phil Letten
At the moment I am almost through my first eight week cycle of Aggressive Strength Testosterone Booster and I must say that all the praise is well deserved. I have noticed big improvements in my physical performance, but the most profound impact for me has been on my mood and mental well-being.
I am 30 years old now and for most of my late teens and into my mid twenties I suffered from severe depression. I have had relapses in later years, and over the last few weeks I have been through situations that would have crippled me in the past, had it not been for the supplement. These may seem like big words, but I know myself and I most certainly know my limitations. In lack of better terms, the supplement gives me an extra gear to go on, almost like safety net of sorts. Everybody is different, but in my case, the Aggressive Strength Testosterone Booster has been better than any medication or treatment I have ever tried.
I first heard about Mike Mahler back in 2007 while researching kettlebells which were new to me at the time. I ended up really liking his style and got a copy of The Kettlebell Solution for Fat Loss and Mental Toughness DVD. I have been an avid follower of his ever since and it has been a great journey and a complete pleasure all the way.
Thank you so much for doing what you do.

Just finished an 8 week cycle of your test boost. I weigh 145 lbs so I took 2 capsules a day. Everything seemed to come together during the 2 months; diet, rest days/proper sleep, and solid workouts. As a result my weights went up. Prior to the cycle, my bench press was at 195-205 lbs and by the end of the cycle I was pushing 235lbs for a few reps. My incline went from 185 lbs to 215 lbs and my deadlifts went up from 225 to 300 lbs . What I noticed the most during the 8 weeks was the consistency of my workouts. I never really had a day where my workout was weaker than the previous one. It's funny, a friend of mine asked my opinion on test boosters a few months back and I had never given it any thought. So I looked into it and knew you had just released one. I liked what I read and I have been using your recovery oil for almost a year. At the time, I told my friend that I was going to place an order and that he should try it too. He opted to go with the Universal Test supplement (cost him ~$140 for 44 day cycle). He told me it worked for him, but after witnessing my experience on your test booster he called me up a couple days ago and told me to place an order for him.--Matt Garton
I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you about what has happened since I started using Aggressive Strength. I started a little over a month ago. The first couple of weeks, there was not a noticeable difference in my energy in strength, but I did see a significant drop in my body fat. I am not a 'big' guy (I am 5'8" and at the time 165 lbs). At the 3 week mark, I saw a jump in my energy and the strength. But, nothing compared to a month into using the product - my body fat dropped almost 2% (my weight is no 158 and solid muscle) and my strength has started to significantly increase. I am able to handle much heavier kettlebells and my lifts have added 15-25 lbs each (bench, dead lift, squat)...but, the best part has been seeing my wife, Athena's response, to how my body has changed over the last 4-5 weeks - a visible difference!
What is happening? I have definitely leaned out in fat... clearly areas of my body where fat accumulates have leaned down lower than I can remember a this age.... this while putting on weight... this is clear. This weight has been muscle mass... I was hanging around 222 and now 228 - 229 with a leaner body... More gym energy, thicker muscles... legs, butt , thighs... increased libido/sexual energy. I can surely feel these things being very body aware. I have tried to take 3 per day a couple times. I find that I just do not feel that well when I do. I feel a bit grouchy and a bit headachy... I am thinking this is simply that 2 caps per day can work for me. As I mentioned I am very body aware and feel the effects of Aggressive Strength. I am really just into my third week, so it could even be I am not fully adjusted yet.
I have not actually tested my testosterone levels, yet I can feel a change in me... mood, energy, sexual energy (have had exceptional morning wood)... workout energy... body changes.

Hope you are doing great, I just wanted to send you a quick note about my experience with your testosterone booster. I have been taking it for three weeks now, and I the thing I noticed the most is that my hayfever allergies are pretty much gone. I generally have to take some for of anti-histamine off and on throughout the spring and summer. With your product I haven't had to take any for three weeks. I know that isn't necessarily too long, but there was recently another hay cut in my area and I have been feeling great, where normally I would be having to take pills to lessen the effects. I looked up stinging nettle and discovered it can be used for hayfever as it has anti-histamine effects on the body. http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb/stinging-nettle
Aside from that effect, I have noticed similar effects that others have had. I really feel an increase in strength during workouts and have less fatigue therefore being able to do more reps. My recovery time has improved as well. I also want to mention that I received my delivery in a very timely manner, thank-you for that. I also have a similar benefit as others reported, causing my wife to complain that she can't keep up with me! She is wondering when you will have "aggressive strength" for women!!! Haha!

Density Training With Kettlebells
Density training is a killer training system that I picked up from top strength coach Ethan Reeve. It is a great way to increase workout intensity as well as conditioning in a systematic manner.
Here is an example of how it works using the Double Kettlebell Swing (density training can be used for any exercise). In week one do a workout of ten sets of ten. Take one-minute breaks in between each set. In week two, compete seven sets of 15 using the same bells. In week three, do five sets of twenty. Finally in week four, execute four sets of twenty-five. In week five go to heavier bells and start over with ten sets of ten.
Do one Density training workout per exercise each week. For example, double kb swings on Tuesday and then a density workout with Hindu Squats on Friday. On Tuesday and work on strength focused workouts such as 5x5, 5-3-1, etc.
Support hormone production, increase energy, reduce muscle soreness, lose stomach fat, and ramp up heart health with Aggressive Strength Recovery Oil! Loaded with Magnesium, MSM. and Zinc
I have been following various forms of Mike's content on the internet for a number of years now, so I figured I could trust the integrity of his claims for the benefits of his Recovery Oil. The truth is, I think he was being a little too humble in his ad copy. This stuff has far exceeded my expectations! I have injured my left achilles tendon in the past and it tends to inflame after intense bouts of plyometric/jumping movements. If I just massage two sprays of this on the site, the irritation leaves in far less than the 20 minutes Mike claims. Oh yeah, and don't even get me started on the beautiful quality of sleep I've been getting after a few weeks of using this.
