I'm not big into logs, but I decided I was going to log this cycle of X-Factor that I am doing. I purchased (2) bottles of X-Factor that came in yesterday and will be using (4) gels each day. This will equate to 50 days @ 1g of AA. Once again I paid for these (2) bottles out of my own pocket.
Here is a breakdown of my day:
7:00am-Wake up, take supplements (including 1 X-Factor gel)+protein
8:00am-Arrive at work
9:30am-protein again
12:00pm-take another X-Factor gel+complex carbs
2:00pm-protein
4:00pm-complex carbs
4:30pm-Work ends+(1 X-Factor gel)
5:00pm-Eat a small meal (40g protein)
5:30pm-6:30pm- Take a nap
7:00pm-Eat another small meal (40g protein)+X-Factor gel
8:30pm-Take stims (approx. 200mg of caffeine.)
9:00pm-At the gym
10:15-10:30pm-Get out of the gym
10:30pm-Take ZMA
11:00pm-Drink soymilk/Chicken/other protein (50g-70g of protein), then get ready and go to bed.
I do NOT post-workout with carbs at all.
I start my morning with protein, then integrate carbs at lunch and early afternoon. I stop carbs at 6pm then use 99% protein for the rest of the evening.
Immediately after working out I take ZMA on an empty stomach and wait 30minutes.
I post workout with soy protein and only use soy on workout days. I do not use protein powder as I am lactose intolerant and soy is a good way to post workout as it is fast acting. I follow up by eating chicken or eggs.
As of right now I will be using a 40/40/20 main. ratio. Also I am endomorphic.
I am not following a specific exercise training regiment, I just have a tendency to do 'higher' volume of training.
Other than that I will keep the log very basic and to the point, focusing on X-Factor and not so much 'fluff' per se.
Couple of things to note:
-unless I mention specifically in my log that I didn't hit my meal ratios assume that I did.
-I'll try my best to update this log as often as possible. This is another thing that deters me from doing sponsored logs, b/c at least since this is unsponsored I can update as often as time allows.
-I expect to keep everything consistant the entire time.
Current supps that will be used in the log:
-ZMA
-X-Factor
-Multivitamins/Multiminerals
-Glucosamine (when needed)
-Caffeine (pre-workout)
-Digestive Enzymes
.....that's it
I've been using Diesel Test for around 5 months straight so I'm going to take a break off the natural test boosters and try this instead.
I am taking a specific interest in AA not because of the 'Oh I'm sore, so that's cool' aspect, but in general the science behind it. I tried X-Factor awhile ago @ 5 gels/ED and wound up having headaches which caused me to use it sporadically. This time I will just run it at 4 gels/ED at a consistant timing/dose.

I speculate that the true benefit of Archadonic Acid is achieved around 75days and not 50day but who knows.
Let's see how long I can actually stay dedicated to this log. lol.
