BFv3, XFA, and Anabeta 8 week stack.

[G.Superior]

So, i'm finally getting back to logging my workouts. I have a bottle of Bioforge v3, a bottle of x-factor advanced, and a bottle of anabeta. If the log goes well which i'm sure it will I will order second bottles of each. MY plans for this log are to workout 4 times a week. MON, TUE, WED, & FRI. With rest days being THURS, SAT, & SUN. MY dosing scheme will be

Workout days: 4 BFv3 (2 upon waking, and 2 before dinner)
4 XFA ( all four 1 hour begore workout)
6 anabeta ( two 1 hour before workout, one with my post workout shake, 1 with lunch, 1 with dinner, and 1 before bed

Non- Workout days: 4 BFv3
1 xfa with breakfast ( per the SWOLENONE's suggestion)
4 anabeta (breakfast, 2 at lunch, dinner

For the past 3-4 months my workouts have gone as follows

MON- Back/Biceps/Forearms
WED- Chest/Triceps/Abs
FRI- Shoulders/Legs/traps & calfs

But for this log, my workouts will be

MON- Back/Biceps/Forearms
TUES- Chest/Triceps/Abs
WED- Shoulders/Legs/ traps & calfs
FRI- Squats, Bench Press, Deadlift, Dips, or Squats, Standing Shoulder Press, Hang Clean, Chin-ups

6'0 242lbs

To add into the equation my current staples are NOW Adam for a multi, Myofusion for a protein powder, Omega Sports Ultima for a pre-workout, and Body Mortar for bcaa's, Labrada Efa Lean Gold for fats, and Animal Flex for joints. I'll be cutting out the fat and joint supps, because from reading taking omega 3's and joint supps can diminish the affects of XFA, plus XFA has joint help in it. If anyone has any questions or advice concerning my workouts, dosage schemes, or anything else please say something. First post of the log tomorrow 6/5/11

Day 1

First off the pump today during the workout was pretty bad. My biceps felt like they were about to explode. Kinda hard to finish a set of concentration curls when you can barely bend your arm. Also I noticed some increased body temperature through out the day. Hunger was apparent during the day (a reported side effect of Anabeta). As a point of reference, I ate a ribeye steak, with greens and baked beans for lunch at 3:00. By 4:30 I was hungry again. So the hunger was present.

I dosed 4 xfa and 2 anabeta about 45 mins before my workout.
A scoop of Ultima 30 mins before workout
2 scoops of Body Mortar in a 20oz fierce grape gatorade during the workout
One anabeta with two scoops of Myofusion post workout

In, solid stack and sounds like an interesting but unusual workout schedule, I kinda like it. Good first lift. Doesn't seem like you were having any trouble completing your sets.

Recovery between sets was quick. If anything slowed me down it was the pain from the pumps

Day 2

Day 2 of this log and there are a few things to note.....
-Slept pretty darn good last night. Fell asleep with no problem and stayed sleep (reported benefit of v3)
-Pretty bad DOMS in by biceps and lats today. Not all that bad, but I generally don't have any back/lat soreness no matter how hard I train so I figured this was something worth mentioning ( reported side effect of XFA)
-Noticing that I have hunger throughout the day. Not hunger like I must eat something or i'll past out but more like it feels like I haven't ate anything. (reported anabeta side effect)
-Been going to the bathroom frequently. I noticed in some anabeta logs some users reported this, but it might be from the increase in water I have been drinking. So I don't know.
-Forgot to mention yesterday that I had an extreme pump in my forearms during my workout and for the rest of the day. Forearm looked like a spider-web with all the veins popping out. (reported effect of xfa and anabeta)

Day 3

F'n horrible day today. Some smart ass at the gym decided to tell me I needed to break down my weight when my gym partner was still using it. I usually start my leg workouts with Squats but when i got there the squat rack was taken up. By the same ******* who said something to me about racking my weight. He did a set every 12 mins. F'n idiot, especially when he didn't break down the weight he left on the squat rack. After waiting for him to get done, We set up the weight for the squats and I went to the bathroom, when I come back someone is doing bent over rows on the rack while my gym partner watches him. WTF..........I asked why he didn't tell him we were using it, he said he didn't know where I went......like that has to do with us using the rack. Then so we move on to another exercises waiting yet again for the rack to become available. When it finally did we set it up yet again. Did a set and went to get something to drink. I come back and guess F'n what......someone is doing hang cleans while my gym partner watches. I asked him why he didn't tell the guy and he asks why didn't I tell him. Told him it probably had something to do with me not being in the room. F'n pu***, so I abandoned the squats. I'll make up for it Friday.

Enough of me b*tch*n, on to the workout and some side notes
-Took 4 caps of v3 upon waking and at about 25 mins, I got a really bad feeling in my stomach. Almost nauseating but not painful. It got really bad until I ate something and within 30 secs it was sub-siding. Don't know what that was all about, but I will dose it the same way tomorrow morning and see if the same occurs.
-Noticing oily skin on the sides of my nose.
-Bicep pain still present even more so than the tricep pain from yesterday's workout.

Day 8

First workout of the second week and once again the pain from the pumps was pretty bad. Had to take extra rest to let the pain subside a couple time but overall a good workout. Several things to note

-Scale said 245lbs, which is 3lbs up from last week. My eating hasn't so much changed so i'm not sure what's responsible for the weight increase
-Hunger pains still growing strong. Seems i'm digesting my food rather quickly.
-Workout endurance is improving

Day 9

Pretty good day today. Minor DOMS, today. Nowhere near the pain as last week, but again it's always bad for me on the second day, so we willl see. I had to cut my workout short, my resident pregnant woman was feeling sick so I had to go get her. Other than that, it was a very strong workout. My endurance it still going strong. When I leave the gym I feel refreshed instead of tired. One more thing to note, my erections have been rock-solid. I mean I could put a hole through concrete. Almost can say it hurts.

Day 10

Shoulders and legs today. This tends to be a harder day for me. I have no idea why. Its usually a drawn out session that seems it will never end. Had to cut the day short yet again, this tine though I was simply running late for work.

As a little side note, the strawberries and creme myofusion seems to taste different to me. Almost artificial. The last time i had it, it was still the old formula. Don't know if the addition of the hydrowhey had something to do with it. After I finish Ill proly be switching back to Syntha 6. I was using myofusion before syntha 6 but switched for the taste. But switched back to myofusion for the better ingredient profile. All the soy in syntha 6 turns me off a lil. If anyone has any reccomendations feel free to chime in. However, taste is big for me.

Another note, I have noticed increased body temperature through out the day.

Day 12

Sorry for the late post , had a late flight at work. Not to mention I almost ripped my right thumbnail off while loading some freight. Nothing like seeing your blood come out where it shouldn't. Bleeding from under your fingernail is highly over-rated. Aaaaaaaaand I almost got jet blasted down the runway. That would have been pretty bad considering when I do my next set of progress pics yall would be wondering why my skin was so pink. Sigh............ Not much to note today. Other than a side note on hang cleans. This isn't a very strong movement for me. I think it's my form/ technique, I just can't get the movement right. As long as i'm at a low weight, the movement is at least partially right.

Day 15

Pretty good day today. Workout went well and my endurance continues to improve. I've been in a relatively good mood since starting this log. I've been going through alot but I have managed to keep a good mood about myself. Not too much to note. Just a couple of side notes.

-Gained yet another 3lbs last week. Weighed myself first thing in the morning upon waking right after the bathroom trip. Scale said 248. If I continue gaining weight at this weight I will start incorporating cardio several days a week.

-Throughout the day I get times when my body temperature seems to be increased.

Day 16

6 Quick workout today but it was rather tiring. Lady had a doc appt, so the workout had to be rushed but it proved still effective. I just realized that this stack wont exactly last 8 weeks. More so like whenever I run out. I will be ordering another bottle of each to continue the stack. Also I have dropped my anabeta dosage down to 5 on workout days instead of 6. I run out of time to dose the last cap so it just makes more sense to drop the dosage.
