Tomorrow will mark my very last day on Mass FX. I finished Hyperdrol two days ago and Retain today.
In terms of general thoughts, I felt pretty powerful while on this stack. My mood was up and my workouts were always very productive.
Towards the beginning of the cycle, and to a lesser extent throughout, I had some stomach discomfort. Although when I first started I was taking antibiotics for wisdom teeth surgery, which might have impaired my digestion slightly, but even afterward I occasionally got the runs or mush. I heard a couple people experienced that from Hyperdrol, but I'm not sure exactly what to attribute it to.
I'd say I didn't really start to feel any serious strength gains until I started on 5 caps a day FX/ Hx2. After that, my workouts had some pretty good power and my lifts progressively increased. Retain also made me feel pretty lean, though I was gaining weight.
Half way through the cycle I added Creatine Mono, and took that alongside Incarnate (beta alanine)... which I think played an important role in supporting my endurance and energy output.
After a couple weeks in I noticed that I was feeling fuller and harder. My pumps were good... sometimes I'd randomly feel pumped during the day.. and I did experience that alpha male sense to some extent. Nothing like pure testosterone but there was a feeling of power associated with these products.
How much to attribute to placebo? Of that I'm not sure. In all honesty, probably a significant amount. I've no doubt that these products helped me out a lot, but they're not roids... nor are they prohormones. Natural anabolics present an interesting supplement variety, but nothing is as effective as synthetic juice. Unfortunately.
I'm betting the addition of Creatine Mono helped with weight gain. I began this cycle at 195 lbs in the morning and am now ending in the vicinity of 204 lbs. That new weight is not set in stone, as I'm sure a chunk of that is due to water gains... but I would say that if anything I gained a good 4, 5 pounds.
The coming weeks will determine a lot. My strength is slightly elevated, my endurance has improved. I'm not referencing conventional personal bests, but am making this assertion based on the increased intensity of my lifts.
My arms are a little bigger... as is my waist, unfortunately. But nothing drastic. I'm satisfied with my gains as of now.
I will post progress pics as soon as possible, along with new measurements.
For the duration of this week I'm going to take creatine w/ Incarnate, then hopefully begin Leviathan/ Incarnate next week. With respect to creatine, I'll just be loading it the next 3 days and then putting it aside til later.
My overall rating for the Anabolic Xtreme stack is a 5/10. It definitely wasn't terrible, but for its cost it wasn't magic either. I'll admit, it did help to an extent. But I'm not sure if I'll run it again solo. Maybe in a post cycle therapy.
