Halodrol Liquigels & X-Factor Log

[machinehead]

Objective: This is an 8-week log starting today, October 30, of 2 boxes of Halodrol Liquigels and 2 bottles of X-Factor. I have used X-Factor before and I know it takes 4-5 weeks until it kicks in, which will be the last couple of weeks of running Halodrol Liquigels. I will also be taking fish oil [~900mg EPA/ DHA daily], which has been a no-no until recently but is deemed acceptable now.

Background: It could be found in my Diesel Test 2010 + Raw Test & Diesel Fuel Log

Goals: I want to gain at least 2-4 lean pounds by end of the 8th week while keeping body fat gain to a minimum.

Basic Stats:

• Age: 28
• Sex: Male
• Height: 5’ 9”
• BF: 10—11%
• Weight: 172.6
• Waist: 29”
• Wrist: 5 7/8”

Workout Program:

DC, 2-way split, training MWF

Cardio Program:

• MWF (workout days): 10—30min low-intensity on a bike
• TTh: 45 min brisk walk in the morning
• SaSu (sometimes): 45 min brisk walk

Diet: I will not be counting calories; I will be counting protein grams. I will be consuming the majority of carbs with the first two meals of the day and, on workout days, before and after workout. Most of the fats will be consumed earlier in the day too. I will be utilizing a carb cutoff after 6 p.m. where I will consume mostly protein and minimal amounts of non-starchy carbs and fats. Overall caloric intake would depend primarily on activity level that day but the principles of minimum protein intake and carb cutoff would always apply.

Here is my list of food choices: sirloin, eggs, tuna, almonds, cashews, walnuts, coconut oil, olive oil, soy lecithin, oatmeal, sweet potato, honey, raisins, grapefruit, broccoli, cauliflower, and miscellaneous fruit and vegetables. Water intake will be set at least 2 gallons; fiber would be around 60 grams per day.


Other Supplements:

• MHP Activite Sport
• S.A.N. Triple Strength Fish Fats
• Source Naturals Relora
• Nutrabolics InsuLeanK
• Gaspari SizeOn
• MRM BCAA+G
• VPX NO-Shotgun/ ALRI Primed/ Get Diesel R4W V5.0

I do not consider protein/ MRP powder a supplement but here are the only two that I use:

• Bioformx Maxxiplex
• S.A.N. Infusion

Dosing Protocol:

Halodrol Liquigels/ X-Factor

Week 1: 3 gels
Week 2: 3 gels/ 3 gels
Week 3: 3 gels/ 3 gels
Week 4: 3 gels/ 4 gels
Week 5: 3 gels/ 4 gels
Week 6: 3 gels/ 4 gels
Week 7: ------/ 5 gels
Week 8: ------/ 5 gels

Final Remarks: I will only weigh myself once at the 4-week mark and then once at the end. I will take body and caliper measurements but I will only post the changes at the end.

I am very sensitive to cortisol suppression from test boosters and if lethargy levels become unacceptable I will add NOW Adrenal Support to the arsenal. Hopefully, Relora would prevent this from happening.

Comments:

Not a bad first workout today, after taking 2 weeks off, well not completely off but still. I started with weights lower than my previous blast’s starting weights. No need to push it that early.

Halodrol Liquigels should be here Wednesday so this is when I start it.

Good luck! Looks like a fun stack that should assist in some assume gains!

Okay, you stole a good idea I had This should be an awesome stack, as I've read elsewhere that they could be pretty effective together.

Good luck, and I'll be watchin ya

[macedaddy]

[jjohn]

I am impatient to see hoe oily the skin will be, as XF by itself is the borderline for me.

Day 2, Tuesday, October 31


Cardio:

45 min brisk walk upon rising

Comments:

I had very little soreness today, which is not typical. The appetite boost from morning cardio did not come until my third meal. Usually, one hour after breakfast I am starving.

Comments:

Another good workout featuring two new exercises just introduced to this blast. I could’ve gotten 10 reps on the heavy set of front squats but decided to save it for the widowmaker and for the weeks to come. Form was great and hence the bar was easy to control: no slipping down my shoulders or towards my throat. I’m generally starting with weights 85—90% of my last blast’s weights so next time the jump in weight added to the bar will be significant, can’t wait!

I didn’t do cardio after the workout because of work commitments. I didn’t get the HLG today; my order will arrive tomorrow, after all

[macedaddy]

will you pct off the cycle with Novedex XT or another PCT product. It isn't needed, but i saw that BK said that it wouldn't hurt either and could help. just wondering?

[machinehead]

will you post cycle therapy off the cycle with Novedex XT or another PCT product.

No, but I have a bottle of Vitex that I might use after I'm done.

dude your running 2 arachidonic acid products together? please explain the reason behind this bc i think im missing something?

why not just run xfactor along with DHEA, and ecdysterone? imo thats alot of arachidonic acid

[macedaddy]

HL isn't primarily AA. Plus, Gaspari said that for even better results you cna run them together!!!

[jet11]

damn well thats a hell of a stack on the wallet. hope its worth it, ill check in to see how it goes...

According to one of the formulators of the product, it contains more than 250mg of AA but I guess it's not that much more since it's not cheap and there are other ingredients. So I will be basically runinng a little over a gram of AA for 2 weeks, then a little over 1,250mg for 3 weeks, then exactly 1,250 for two more weeks, which is not "much."

I could've made my own stack with, say, X-Factor, E-Bol, and JW but it would've run me more[~ $220 vs. $160], prevented me from finding out a product that might work for me and from giving feedback on a stack some of you are contemplating running in the future.

[macedaddy]

MN has said that you can run 1250mg for 60 days. This is the absolute maximum and should only be run by "advanced users"

Something for you to think about.

I am an advanced non-responder so I qualify

Seriously though, I have run X-Factor at 1,000mg before and wanted to bump it up once the effects diminished. This is my chance.
