Strength
Welcome to PR city! YEAH! Strength was way up this workout, I was very surprised more then 3/4 of my workout was a personal best.

Pumps
Pumps were very intense especially in the front delts, it felt like they were pulsating even an hour post-workout.

Adverse Side Effects
Increased sweat intra-workout, the oily skin effect has calmed down a bit.

DOMS
DOMS not too much to report just some normal soreness, no painful DOMS like the last week.

Mood
This is where these products truly shine, the alpha male mentality is just insane. Definitely a huge plus! I have noticed just this week deeper sleep as well, alongside the dream recall.

 

[workingatit43]

Holy crap my man your busting out the PR's nice job andit seems like the DOMS are a little better very nice

 

[DesertFox]

Do any of those products require cycle support?

Awesome, I think I might try em. I was thinking about trying Spawn or some of those pro anabolic pills but I will wait until I have at least 2 years experience with body building.

That is a very wise choice you will be glad you did

[size=+2]3 WEEK IN! UPDATES! [/size]

[size=+1]Weight Gain:[/size]
+1.5 lbs back up to 170 lbs. I'm going to bump the Calories up to 3800 and see how weight gain comes along this week. I've noticed a slight leaning effect so far, so the recomp aspects of ArA are starting to kick in a bit. Looking forward to seeing how 3800 will treat me, hopefully I'll be up 2 or more lb.

Pumps:
Pumps have been absolutely insane, sometimes ROM is a bit compromised but other then that I've enjoyed this aspect of the stack very much. Pumps have lasted anywhere from 30 to even 90 min. PWO, vascularity has improved due to the leaning out, especially in the upper arm and shoulder area.

DOMS:
DOMS haven't been too intense, recovery has been pretty quick usually about 2 days to feel close to normal. I'm approaching the 2nd bottle so I'm sure this effect should be really starting to make it self known this week.

Mood/Alpha Male Mentality:
Once again probably my favorite aspect of the stack. Confidence, alphaness, etc. has been beyond my expectations. Mood has been good.

Sleep:
I've noticed a couple days of lethargy, not sure if it's due to working a lot more hours or what. Sleep has been good, vivid dreams almost every night. Some nights I can recall more then 1 dream in detail.

Strength:
VERY impressed so far, I've been setting PR's nearly every workout this week. I'm hoping for a big change in Squats and Deadlifts by the end of this log.

Libido:
Libido has been good (as always), haven't noticed an increase as I had thought.

Side Effects:
Increased sweating intra workout.

Overall:
Overall the stack has been great so far, I'm looking forward to seeing how the XF kicks in this week.

What do you think is causing the increased sweating do you have any idea?

Not sure....I've read some reports where AX stand alone can cause increased perspiration possibly something in there.

Pumps were a little too good today, lower back pumps were very intense, and painful.

Increased sweat intra-workout, oily skin.

Thanks man, I'm loving the stack so far.

 

[workingatit43]

This is awesome the PR keep coming how are the DOMS?

 

[DesertFox]

Amino your thread convinced me into trying 2 of these products. Well I bought both the Activate Xtreme, X Factor, ON 100% Whey, ON Creatine Mono, and NOW ADAM so I am more than ready to go. How should I administer both the X Factor and Activate Xtreme? I am thinking of starting this Monday.

LOL, VERY painful , my lower back and trapz feel so sore. I debated getting out of bed this morning. Trained some arms today, kept it short but the workout was pretty good, updates will be up shortly.

Nice! Sounds like a solid stack man, I would do the X-Factor dosed 1 AM, 2 Pre-wo/ 1 PM or 1/1/1/1 spread evenly throughout the day. Same goes for AX 1/2/1 or 1/1/1/1. Good luck with your stack man, your going to like it!

[workingatit43]

I'm gonna be 100% honest here, and I'm NOT basing you. How old are you? That's an honest question, because it might explain a lot.

If the product requires no PCT, do you realize that this means it has no adverse change on your natural hormone levels, meaning that-well-it basically doesn't do much, and is CERTAINLY not worth its outrageous price.

Drugs like Testosterone require post cycle therapy because they drastically alter your chemical make up, this is why you're able to make such huge gains in a 10, 12 or 14 week period, etc...

The person giving the "review" in this thread is a representative of the company who sells the product. In your ENTIRE life, have you ever seen a company intentionally give a bad review of its own product? Regardless of how good or bad the supplement is (we've already established it's pretty worthless), nobody is going to bash their own product.

The bottom line is that any product that doesn't require PCT, isn't changing your testosterone levels, meaning that it won't lead to any supplemental gains you couldn't make naturally. Any potential gains you would see would be a result of your increased calorie consumption, diet and training.

You just received a crash course on supplements and, in general, smart spending.

It's actually really sad how naive and gullible the average consumer in America has become.

Well you are wrong the person running this log has nothing to do with AX or X-Factor at all. Quoting you (we've already established it's pretty worthless) where and when was this established? If you have read anything on the benefits of tran-resveratrol you would know it has many benefits.

What is Transresveratrol?Basic Information,Super Function and Researches of resveratrol and Polygonum Cuspidatum Extract.Polygonum Cuspidatum Extract.Resveratrol.transresveratrol.CAS.NO:510-36-0.3,5,4''-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene;C14H12O3.Polydatin,CA

The only crash course we have received is that you are one miserable character that has nothing good to say about anything.

It is actually sad that you would bother to be on a bodybuilding forum with nothing productive to say and the saddest thing is you have not been banned yet

And it is none of your business how old I am do some research instead of bitching and you would know the answer.
