Ok, so I’ve had successful solo runs of both XFA & AnaBeta....next logical step: stack em!

X-Factor Advanced (XFA) : Will be dosing 5-6 caps (all) PreWO on weights day w/3-4 caps pre on cardio days, none on off days. I have 3 bottles, will run ~65-70 days.

Anabeta: (1 day left of the beta bottle, when more is available will run) 4 caps/day. (1, preWO, 3 w/meals)

SNS TTA: 1-3 caps preWO (to access tolerance will begin with 1 cap for a few days before bumping to 2 caps, etc)

SNS DAA: 3 grams preWO (started 6-10)

Glycergrow: 3 scoops preWO

PreWO: finishing up open tubs of Mesomorph & Cryoshock....before opening/using the NEW White flood (v2).

Extra’s:
BC+EAA ~30g taken pre thru IntaWO;
Sns Bulk Luecine- 10g’s intra
Whey protein & blends.

Diet: Will be eating surplus of (90-95% clean) calories....experience with both XFA & Anabeta was that I could be eating modestly above maintenance and not gain fat.

Workouts: Varied from workout to workout. I like to use supersets, dropsets, stacked sets a lot. Primary focus being on hypertrophy and time under tension, distant second being strength.

Goals: trying to add overall LBM with focus on upper chest/shoulders/traps/quads....and uncovering some Abs....impossible? We shall see.

Starting weight: 178lbs


Let’s get to it!!

Notes: Pump much? Ahhh, yes. Really focusing on feeling target muscle working and some static holds and really good/deep stretches...really break the muscle down. Workout = greatness. Usually I do rows in between sets of benches...but did curls instead since I usually do biceps at the end of the workout and don't get a much attention as they should. good stuff!

Tues 6-7-11 Legs

**Leg ext 4 x 10

-superset-
**BB Lunge x 5 (ea leg)

Notes: decent workout...could have been better, but in the midst of using the squat rack, had a dude come stand in front of me mid squatting, I finished, then he asked how many more I had. I managed to ‘get over’ that and tune back into what I was doing (although too many dudes in my general vicinity in general), but frustrating none the less. Really worked legs (expecting to be feeling it in the morning!)...have been slowly building weight back up on these & perfecting technique, had stopped doing them a few years ago after deciding I wasn’t built for them (I have mild scoliosis) & always had a pain in my shoulders & midback when doing them until I realized last fall that I had weak rhomboids and rotators which were the problem.

Think I have prolly 3 caps of AnaBeta left for tomorrow....come on release...you can do it!

6-14 Wed- Legs

**Standing Calf
3 x 10/10/10 (staked set pyramid up) (down) (up)

**Leg Ext
4x 10

-superset-
**BB Lunge x 5 (EA leg)
**BB Squat x 10
3 sets

**BB Squat
2x 10

**Seated Leg curl
3 x 5/5/10 (R. leg/L leg/both)

**Leg press
8 x 8

**Adductor
1 x 12/12/12 (full/partial/full)

Notes: summer is definitely here, more people overall and more using the stations I was wanting to do, which considering there’s only 1 leg press, 1 squat rack, 1 half rack, makes it tedious to knock out all the sets I want to do without feeling like there is someone standing behind/beside me waiting for me to finish...and very frustrating when someone doesn’t re rack their plates...aggression flared up, wanted to head butt someone....SERENITY NOW!! SERENITY NOW!! Other than that was an alright lil workout.

Trouble sleeping last night, mind wouldn't let me...think I got about 3 hrs sleep (so if I post some totally wacky (or moreso than usual) posts today, keep that in mind), was intending to do some form of cardio/Ab work today, but I = Fail.
Yesterday (totally forgot to update) ran Shoulders/Traps, HUGE pump, one of my better sh/trap workouts in a long time.

Tomorrow, Back/Tri's...might play with the rep/set scheme and do a Gironda 8x8 (for those following in the ex science section)...

Well hey there SG, thanks man!! or shall I say, thanks, Lloyd Brawn ;)

lol yea.


I have never run ArA,really never had the interest either. Giving it some thought w the tta I have...thinking about not really cutting but going on a super lean bulk and just gaining a few more solid lbs this summer and perhaps just a bit of added vascularity.

will be keeping a close eye on this log for sure!

You ought to give it a run man, you will not be dissapointed. The ArA is superb for leaning or bulking and I love the increased vascularity I get from it.

Fri 6-17 Calves/Back/Tri

**Standing calf raise 8x8
**Pulldown 8x8
**CGBP 8x8
**HS Iso Row (par grip) 8x8
**Hoist Tri Dip 8x8
**Stiff arm cable pulldown 4x8
**LF row 4x8

-weight selected is one that I fail to lift ~ rep 15-16, then doing 8 sets of 8 reps with that weight.
-tempo for reps (~3sec neg/1-2 sec positive)
-20-30 secs rest b/t sets

Notes: So after reading up on Vince Gironda’s 8x8 method & GVT...thought I’d try the 8x8 out on today’s workout, glad I did. I like the limited rest between the sets...and slightly more variety with exercise selection it can have over GVT...it’s set up to be run in straight set format...I may try supersetting, b/c I do like that training effect & for variety...Also, for the time being keeping the split of Ch/Bi, Legs, Sh/traps; Back/Tri....allows for more alternate routines to be rotated in & also get the direct/indirect hit on all upper body muscles...that aside had an obnoxious pump & nice/positive aggression...

I'd also back this up too...this is my second ArA run...at first glance there's nothing too overly glamorous about an omega 6 supp & using it for trying to build lbm...but it has some cool ace effects (solid pumps, fuller muscles, muscle hardening, recomp...) worth trying out at least once to experience first hand... jus sayin ;)

Oh, also...so the other night, decided to make a smoothie...starwberry/blueberry with a scoop of french vanilla (Big Blend)...usually I use yogurt and ice as the base right? low on yogurt, went with some cottage cheese instead...wasn't quite sure how it would be going into it but figured I've eaten much worse tasting things (and I like fruit and cottage mixed)....have to say, cottage cheese will now be my peference over yogurt...made it thicker & I think better tasting, didn't have to add in any sweetener of any kind....blended smooth, was great...just great!

But blew up really nicely with this workout & had incredible focus & aggression.

Morning weight as of yesterday: 179 lbs

Fri 6-24 Back/Tri

Gironda’s 8x8 method

**Pulldown 8x8
**HS Iso Seated Row 8x8
**CGBP 8x8
**DB ½ dead/rows 4x8
**Nautilus 1- row 8x8
**Hoist Tri dip 4x8
**Nautilus Tri Ext 4x8

-using weight for 15RM then doing 8x8.
-20-30 sec rest b/t sets

Notes: Thurs did kenpoX+/core work...Today’s workout was good for the most part...should have gone with the Hoist pulldown, instead of regular...just to have switched it up, plus the hoist has a built in feature to keep form more on point. Regardless, made some progression on the rows & close grip bp’s. Didn’t experience much soreness in the delts from Wed’s workout either..odd...but, ok...oh and slight soreness lingering in biceps all week from doing the Inc hammer curls on Monday....insane!
Tomorrow, PlyoX/core....and will have some AnaBeta, LCLT & ReduceXT to add into this mix by monday...

Oh, and AnaBeta now BACK in the mix as of this afternoon along with some LCLT (will dose 2g preWO) & as of 6-24 ReduceXT (2 caps/day)....Whoot!! No doubt, dis is 1 helluva stack!

Thurs 6-30 Back/Tri

Gironda 8x8 training

**Hoist Pulldwn 8x8
**HS Iso seated Row 8x8
**CGBP 8x8
**Nautilus Wide Row 8x8
**LF Tri ext 4x10
**Hoist Tri Dip 8x8

-using 15RM weight --> 8x8
-20-30 sec rest b/t sets

Notes: Always hard to post up updates for Tues/leg workouts, they are almost always disappointing to some extent...although I did work in some decent front/back squats and am still feeling that in my quads. Yesterday off from the weights (mostly) and hit side delts some and KenpoX + at home along with some core/Ab work.

Since adding in AnaBeta the other day, have noticed thirst & water intake go UP! And some added pump/endurance in workouts & today’s pump was sik! Noticing some blemishes along hair line, attribute that to the DAA. And I actually picked up some Erase & AT2 yesterday that I thought I would go ahead and toss in....yes, I’m a wee bit stack happy right now....so here’s a recap:

XFA (5 caps PreWO (weights), 4 caps PreWO (cardio), none on off days)
TTA (2-3 caps preWO, none on off days as of now, might add in 1-2 cap in the afternoon)
LCLT (1.5-2g preWO, none on off days)
DAA (3g daily)
AnaBeta (4 caps/daily...might experiment with adding 1 extra cap at night on WO days only)
ReduceXT (2 caps daily –if any joint pain surfaces will reduce or drop)
Erase (2 caps daily)
AT2 (1-2 caps daily)

Good times here folks!

Didn't get a chance to come back in here on Friday to update...so here's the run down to catch back up...

7-1 Fri: Sh/traps (8x8, overhead press improving!)
7-2 Sat- Abs/PlyoX
7-3 Sun- Off
7-4 Mon Ch/bi (at home, did 8x8 on the following)
Chest dips/Inc DB/Floor DB/Inc curls/reg curls
7-5 Tues- Legs (8x8)
standing calf/Leg ext/Leg presses/Lunge-squat (ss)/Leg curl

Notes: so this is the start of week 5 on XFA/TTA and week 2 of Anabeta, week 3 of DAA...not leaning out as much as I thought I would be...not sure if the TTA is making me hold some excess water (I believe its reported that it does) or that it is, what it is....regardless, feeling full esp in the shoulders/traps/upper pec area which is encouraging. (have even had a couple different people tell me I'm looking larger in the past week) Libido very much up. vascularity is popping in shoulders/arms when working out...Diet has been on point for the most part, loosened up some this past weekend, but didn't go overboard by any means...

Thurs 7-7 Back/Tri

**Hoist pull down 8x8
**Wide grip T-bar 8x8
**CGBP 8x8
**HS Iso Row (par grip) 8x8
**Cable Tri pressdown 8x8
**Nautilus underhand row 2x8
**Hoist par grip plldwn 2x8

-choose 15RM for weight, do 8x8 with it
- rest 20-40 sec b/t sets

Notes: I believe I’ve now crossed the threshold of everything kicking in...I pressed thru most of these reps like butter & will have to increase the weight next workout to keep in the rep bracket. Pump was amazing, showing some vascularity...endurance great, force of muscle contractions up, laser like focus and very aggressive....lingering DOMS also present thru entire body, but not overwhelming.

Yesterday did:
DB UpRight Row 8x8
Lat raises
ABS
Kenpo-cardio +

So hows the combined efficacy or ArA(XFA) and AnaBata going? Both combined should definitely be giving you awesome pumps.
Any LBM to report off this current stack?

Truly! Bam-bam!

I would say they work well together...pumps are off the chart, yes. LBM gains...I don't have any hard #'s or anything, but def looking bigger/fuller esp in upper body, will try to remember to hop on the scale in the morning though...

Fri 7-8- Sh/traps- didn't get a min to put this update together, but another great workout using 8x8 method, tore up some shoulder presses...went to the Rangers game with the family that night, opening pitch it was 106 degrees out, got home at 11:30, with some allergy flareups...didn't manage to get up early enough Sat morning to workout....

Sun-off

7-11 Ch/Bi
Thought I would rotate workout style for a few workouts, I've done the 8x8 for 4 weeks...switched it some heavier weight/reduced volume (most similar to FST7)...and since I go it alone and there really being no safety catches on the benches...did some dropsets of BB benches (flat & Inc) into DB bench. Trying to really get some force production going on the first couple of sets of each compound move, not worry about rep speed.
**Flat BB x 8-10
ss **Flat DB x 8-10
3 sets
**Inc BB x 8-10
ss **Inc DB x 8-10
3 sets
**HS Iso Bi-pulldown
3 x 8-10
**Cable fly x 10
FST 7
**Inc Hammer curl
2x10
**Alt Bi-curl
2x8-10

Notes: Did quite a bit of stetching b/t sets...went well...good contractions, form/focus/intensity spot on, reps going up really smooth. Pump was insane...as well as the sweat dripping off me. Libido is running pretty high too, as an aside.

Vince Gironda’s 8x8...Blast from the past...dude was quit innovated...
Noooo doubt! I've tried GVT in the past, obviously a great method, but usually got bored and would wind up tweaking my shoulders (mostly from sloppy form and going past failure)....so this 8x8 offers more variety, slightly heavier poundages and has a little more leeway in it...think I'm going to rotate 8x8 with an FST-7 & Quantum body method styles every 2-3 workouts, see what happens...

Still looking good bro, I too was questioning the ArA and Anabeta stacked. Say your liking it together so far man?
thanks man....yes, I am liking the AnaBeta/XFA stack...the work capacity is unreal & def looking fuller thru-out...although I'm not leaning out on my stomach/lower back as much as i'd like or as much as I was the first time I ran XFA several months ago...I'm holding off making any judgements just yet due to my inclusion 1g-1.5g of TTA preWO...and an extra 500mg TTA in the afternoon, I'm hoping I'm just holding some extra water in those regions, that will go away after stopping using it in about 3 more weeks...and at that point might use up some left over smolder/Lipoburn that I have laying around...really trying to get the most out of this run over the next 2 months...

Yesterday worked Legs & today Did Abs/Core & Kenpo+...core temp up, hits really hard late afternoon...and right before bed...dosing 1 cap AlphaT2 at ~1pm w/1 cap TTA...the effects don't really hit me until after my 2pm snack (2 eggs/6oz plain yogurt)...then lower body sweats...and slight problems being able to fall asleep, but better as the week goes along (although will almost always wake up with the sweats)...just need to make sure I keep a dose on Sat or Sun...b/c if I don't body becomes resensitized to the alpha Y come monday and have to start the whole process over again...
Diet, got a little off track last Thurs night & Fri night...got better over the weekend...last night the 'munchies' got the better of me & had some ice cream....D'oh! Hunger up...I'm sure has something to do with dosing AnaBeta at 5 caps on weights days (4 days/week)...and 4 caps rest of the week...

July 14/15

Thurs: Back/Tri
Fri: Sh/Traps

Leading off with a couple heavier sets on exercises, 8-10 rep range (w/some added in rest/pause reps), 3-4 exercises for larger muscle groups, 2-3 for smaller...a Fst-7ish format to finish off the muscle...

Notes: looking bigger/leaner when working out, mostly due to the voluminous pump and veinage showing through. Love it. Weighed myself yesterday morning first thing, down 1 lb, so 178lbs. not gaining fat & looking bigger/fuller, so I’m not complaining. Thinking I am holding some water in the midsection though due to the TTA (which is a common side effect), planning on using it for ~3 more weeks before dropping it on my last week of XFA to see how much of the water clears out...will be entering just week 3 of AnaBeta on the 19[SUP]th[/SUP]...planning on running that for nearly 10 weeks total...along with AT2/Erase/ReduceXT/LCLT (1.5 weeks left for DAA). I have been dosing AnaB @ 5caps on weights days (4 caps rest of the days), have def noticed an increase in hunger, normally hits me most at 6-7pm at home...thirst still up throughout the day, although restroom trips not all that frequent.
Rockin n rollin!

hahah, ya, I can def go that way as well...just all depends on how many or what kind of social events are going on :) but for this particular 'binge' during the week, I totally point the finger at Anabeta...since bumping the dose up to 5 caps/day, my hunger gets a little crazy at times...

7-18 Chest/Bi

Ok so finished out a tub of mesomorph last week...now going with White Flood (v2) (watermelon) for a tub....2 scoops WF, 2 caps Anabeta, 5 caps XFA, 3 scoops glycergrow (along with 2 g/LCLT, 1g TTA, 3g DAA, 1 erase, 1 reduce) preWO...went heavy on chest along with some backoff/FST-7 style sets, used a more DB's than BB's...pump was HUGE!...alpha male 110% (I'm sure I prolly had the 'I'm gonna kill something' look thru-out the workout), had to force myself to stop/leave after about 85 mins...in between sets of presses was either stretching out midback/lats or doing mod weight rows to pump them up/relax pecs (ala Poliquin antagonist/agonist method) Going to really be hitting midback hard this week, directly/indirectly....

Diet: Had some cheat meals on 2-3 different occasions, nothing too bad...extra carbs/cals did me good...

AnaBeta: (will be day 21 tomorrow) will be switching up dosing this week to 2preWO, 1 postWO, 1/1...judging on how todays workout went, thinking I'll be liking this better....
XFA/TTA: day 42, will be cracking open the 3rd bottle of XFA prolly ~ Wed.

I know, right?! It started out by just being a planned XFA (higher dosed, extended) run with the extra's (GG/TTA/Carn) added in as discussed over on bb.com to compliment it...then I ran Anabeta by itself and loved it...so tossed it in (no anti-inflammatory effects shown in the lit), figured I might as well optimize T levels with DAA & Erase, then BAM! Word on AnaBeta is that it 'woiks' :) I'd agree.

Tues 7-18 Legs
Wed 7-19- core/lateral delts/cardio
Thurs 7-21 Back/Tri’s

Notes: Plugging right along...thinking I need to up my carbs/cals a little bit to see if that enhances any muscle fullness or not. And thinking I’m needing to back the volume of sets on the weights down some, based on todays workout...Have been using heavier weights, and adding some lighter sets (for mid-back/lateral delts & upper chest) in on core/cardio days. This conclusion is based on how today’s back/tri workout went...although I didn’t sleep the best last night and felt slightly sluggish during the workout....a lot of people to wade thru at the gym this morning which never helps...but seemed to have lost some steam towards the end of it. So we’ll see, although I am considering switching up my split to ch/bk, legs, sh/arms for next week....other than that, libido still cranked up, looks like enough DAA for prolly 1 more week....bumped AT2 up to 2 caps in the afternoon...have been dosing 2 caps AnaBeta preWO (5 caps total on Weights day)...def more pronounced effect...almost ‘too much’ on Leg day...
