The Super Duper X Factor testing stacking thing: Part 2

[jjohn]

BTW JJohn. If I have an extra bottle of XF (I have one laying around), could I do 60 days at 1.25 if selected?

Yes no problem!

[asianbabe]

Vital stats: 22/Female/5"5'
Weight: ~128lbs

Goals: Been adding a little bit of mass for the past few months, eating a lot and keeping training/cardio at decent levels. Now since it is summer, time to eat a little less and workout a little bit more ==> recomp/fat loss - I love lifting and cardio , but something to make my sessions go breezier, whilst helping me augment my body would be great too.


Training 5 days per week
Chest/Shoulders
Legs
Back
Arms
Legs

Cardio: 8 times per week - includes high intensity, moderate intensity, intervals: Spinning, boxing, high and impact aerobic classes, GPP, step, skipping, cardio machines.

Diet: 1600-2000 cals (carb cycling) + 2 cheats per week.. 6 meals:
Oats/whey
Pwo stuff
Carb (eg rice)/meat/veg
Fruit/nuts
Meat/veg/fat
Casein shake.

Current supps: Been taking a bit of a hiatus wrt supps to give my body a break.

Multi, Calcium, Gut Health, Green tea, Bcaas.

Red acid on occassion.

Logs:

Haven't done any for a while because I haven't seen anything take my fancy.. in the past I have a stack on bb.com,

My current workout journal is here:

The Body is Evil and Must be Punished - Forums

Logs on AM:

ab + dcp = :D
asianbabe's PAL transformation
be my PAL!
asianbabe gets down on red acid v2

Preferred stacks: (I'll add in my own DCP because I think DCP + Xfactor will be siick!)


MN + AN - coz of all the hype !!
or MN + AX (Depending on what AX has)
MN + DS also looks interesting but looking for feedback by people who have tried this, since I haven't used either, not sure if it would be too much on the joints?

Thanks!

Maybe 3rd time is the charm to log XF??

I train MMA, but still embrace a hybrid BB/PL training style. I run between 15-25 miles a week and have been training seriously for 4 years now.

Training
Mon-Chest, Back, Biceps/MMA
Tues-Legs, Abs/BJJ
Wed-Cardio/MMA
Thur-Chest, Back, Abs/BJJ
Fri-Cardio
Sat-Triceps, Delts, Traps
Sun-Off

Diet
200-215g Protein
250-400g Carbs
50-80g Fats

I vary my macros depending on the intensity and volume of the day along with my relative energy levels.

Staple Supps
BCAAs
SuperCarb
BA
Egg/Casein Protein


I would prefer to run either the XF/RPM/Drive stack or the XF/DCP stack since I have previously used these supplements, except for the XF, and know what effect they have on me. I will also be using my own Napalm during the stack to lower my abdominal fat.

Wowzers nice! I'm officially putting in an application too. I'll update this post with my full app. I might have to withdraw though if I win some X Factor from your picture contest JJohn I think, because I might start it before

Alright here`s my application:

Age: 19
Height: 6`0
Weight: 155 at 6%ish bf
Current Phase:Lean Bulk

Background: I started weight training for fun starting at 14, and did competitive rugby and soccer during high school. In my freshman year at university things went downhill because I was forced to go on a mealplan with terrible options that caused a lot of weight loss. After finishing my year and getting off the meal plan I`ve been lean bulking. It took me over 2 months to figure my personal nutritional requirements along with alot of online reading and questions, and I still am constantly tweaking and experimenting. After this phase I started lean bulking, up from 3% to my current 6.5%. I`ve had the chance along the way to log a few products, and started a few more bulk products at the end of 2007 including Yellow Gold, Beta Alanine, Green Tea and Powerful.

I of course agree to all the conditions JJohn ,and I have progress pics from the last 8 months and a food log of my last year straight (and it is interesting how it has changed), as well as body scans done atleast once a month (i.e. I can get one pre-log, midway and post).

Diet
3000 cal daily (Maintenance + 500).
40% Carbs (300g ) 30% Protein (225g) 30% Fats (100g)

Pre-WO Meal 1: 7h00 100g Steelcut Oats, Scoop Whey, 2 Tbsp Flax
8h15-9h15: Workout with 2 scoops Lemonade Xtend
Meal 29h20 Scoop WPI,Ground Oats,100g Frozen Banana
PWO Meal 310h20 70g Complex Carbs (Usually sweetpotato + Biscotti) 100g Chicken Breast
Meal 4 13h30 Beef Chili with Extra Frozen Veggies (Staple frozen in tupperwares), Tsp Fish Oil
Meal 5 16h30 Grilled Wholewheat Salmon Wrap, Broccoli
Meal 6 19h302 Egg 0.5cup Eggwhite Omelette + Lowfat Cheese,Tsp Fish Oil, Carrots
21h20 1.6g bulk 1-Carboxy,2 of Nutraplanet`s ZMT,2.5g GABA
Meal 7 If hungry, will have some fats from nuts of fish oil + clean protein like chicken breast

I really find the porridge 1.5hours before working out gives me the energy to make it through the workout. If I have to workout within 1hour of my breakfast, I skip my post-WO shake and have a solid meal with almost no fats because I find my breakfast is still mid-digestion giving me the required energy.

In general my diet follows the guidelines suggested by Dr. John Berardi, with carbs and fats being separated, and my carbs meals are earlier in the day. I almost always train in the morning, or by noon at the latest.

I also understand the nutritional requirements to properly run an X Factor log having done considerable reading into this product, and am willing to follow the diet exactly as required. I`ve actually gotten to know my local butcher so I can get some pretty good deals on meat now! Switching my salmon wrap for a beef or chicken wrap is no problem at all. I have grown very used to my high omega-3 intake which I find helps with mood and energy, but I am quite willing to switch out my omega-3`s to see the potential of AA instead.

Current Supplements
Daily Multivitamin, Vitamin C (500mgx5), Green Tea Extract (2x400mg), Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate, Tricreatine Malate (Bulk 2x2.5g), Beta-Alanine (2x2g), Yellow Gold (600mg 15mins pre high-carb meals)

Day 6- Rest

Stack Choice:
I am very interested in logging the X Factor + Drive + RPM stack. I followed cellar`s log carefully and was really interested in the results (I thought cellar would have increased his PR`s more though judging by all the green lights :P ). It took me a while to get my diet in check, then once I had that I got a few basic supplements in and now over the last few months I`ve really dialed in and tried a few different supplements. By the end of this month I will have been on these staples for 3 months with almost no change in my diet or training except minor tweaks, and I`m interested in trying something new. From my samples of RPM I found it was hit or miss; some doses I felt had no effects meanwhile I remember two times having the best workouts ever on RPM so I believe if I figure out the proper dosing I will be able to have some great workouts. I also like how RPM doesn`t have too much caffeine in it. I found when logging white flood for 50 days (200mg of caffeine approx.) I started having problems falling asleep over time. My experience from the Drive sample is non-conclusive, I didn`t feel anything but I think it`s because it is a cumulative effect like cellar noticed and 6 caps over 3 days didn`t really cut it. I am interested in seeing if this combo can produce the safe effects for me, another university student, as it did for cellar.

My previous logs of mine on AM:
YELLOW GOLD - Is it Magic? (Unsponsored Log)
DIESEL: Trib Test Extreme and Coq Diesel Log (Sponsored)
Steveo's Sponsored White Flood + Green Mag Log
IntraXcell (Beta-Alanine) Sponsored Log
Steveo's Axis Labs SMASH Log

Now that I have my diet and nutrition dialed in, I feel ready to try something a bit different. I`m a sucker for mystery items, so the Anabolic Xtreme products are something I`m also very interested in, but I don`t know exactly if these mystery products are for me. Also having no affiliations with any company I give honest reviews (If it tastes bad, IT TASTES BAD! If I thought it tasted like dish detergent I`ll tell you (lol that`s from an old review of I think 1st gen Steeledge) ) and I know how important it is to be consistent. Hope that`s enough info for you , and best of luck to all loggers, there`s going to be a lot!

Good stuff! Please include some details if you have time, macros etc.. It's always nice to know what background you come from

[DedicatedEST]

DAMNN I want in on this!!!

I'm a long time member at Bodybuilding.com...Dedicatedfo rlif...Holla!

[Cellardude]

SUP GUYS.

I guess ill put down an application to see how it goes. Im intrested in that AX product. I was the original tester to X-factor and Drive with some RPM. I looooooved it

I hope AX has more than one product stacked with X-Factor cause that would be truely awesome.

My stats are here.

18 years old
16-17% body fat?
209 pounds (still gaining after X-Factor baby )
My goals are to gain some lean mass while cutting out some fat. I had great success with my last x-factor stack and I look forward to this. Everyone knows im good for some detailed quality logging right?

Edit:

If picked, I will run X-Factor on a cut most likely. Ive bulked with X-Factor and I loved it. Id love to use a supplement to help keep gains on my cut. A stack consisting of AX (which Ive been DYING to try. John would know and X-Factor would be superb!) Im hoping to make some decent steady gains while on X-Factor on a cut. I think the combination of X-Factor with the new and upcoming AX products is just what I need.

Lunch:
All I Can Eat Sushi (Company pays for it)

you lucky bastard!!!

[BOHICA]

you lucky bastard!!!

lol it's about all they pay for, so I have to maximize it. I moved my lifting time to the morning to really benefit of cramming down that much sushi into my mouth.

[domestic]

I'm in....I'm on Winter Break right now and having nothing to do but hit the weights. I'm trying to gain mass....I was going to do the xfactor, rpm, drive stack...

Diet:
Eating 160-200 g of protein a day (weigh 160). Med-High Carbs. I eat about 5-6 small meals a day, rougly 3000+ calories.

Workout:
Just started a 4 day Split (Upper Push, Lower heavy, Upper Pull, Lower moderate)

current stats:
bench: 290lbs
squat: 380lbs

Haha! Sushi is great stuff! Just be carefull, and if you get selected, you'll have to slow down on some fatty fishes. Something to consider.

[BOHICA]

Haha! Sushi is great stuff! Just be carefull, and if you get selected, you'll have to slow down on some fatty fishes. Something to consider.

I vary it up now. I can only eat so much tuna or salmon sushi. I get a lot of eel, yellowtail, or shrimp now. It also depends on where I choose to take people to lunch, a lot of people really like free sushi meals, so I end up there a lot.

That is another reason I am wanting to run one of these stacks so I can cut down on the fish oil and see how my body goes.
