Driver's Education 101 A Sponsored X-Factor and Drive Log

Cellardude's Driving For Dummy's Course Is Now In Session!

Introduction

Hey everyone! Before I start I would like to thank Molecular Nutrition and Applied Nutriceuticals for providing me the materials for this log. It's an honor to be logging two solid products that have been effective in the world of bodybuilding. Ill be logging X-factor and Drive. I hope to put on some nice mass while leaning out slowly on this stack. I have been getting a little chubby and I think this would be the best stack to help with my goals. Agian, Thank you for this opportunity. I will be logging on a unbiased manner and will report my feelings as well as my workouts while on this 50 day log.

Products

X-Factor


Molecular Nutrition has unlocked the anabolic secret of red meat with its revolutionary new supplement, X-FactorTM! Bodybuilders have known for ages that red meat is an aggressive muscle and strength builder, offering benefits far beyond its protein content alone. Anyone will tell you that if you want to pack on serious mass, you need red meat - lots of it! X-FactorTM is here to take the anabolic power of red meat to the next level, supplying high levels of what, according to its inventor William Llewellyn, is red meat's most precious nutrient for muscle growth: arachidonic acid.

Arachidonic acid is actually the chemical messenger first released by your muscles during intense weight training, controlling the core physiological response to exercise and regulating the intensity of all growth signals to follow. By allowing a much greater retention of arachidonic acid in skeletal muscle tissue than diet alone would provide, X-FactorTM is the only supplement in history to support the very "core" of muscle growth. Amplify the protein synthesizing intensity of each workout far beyond what you were achieving before!

Benefits of X-Factor include:


  • Increased workout productivity (Intensified residual soreness)
  • Increased pumps (Greater nutrient availability to the muscles)
  • Increased androgen receptors (Amplifying the anabolic actions of testosterone)
  • Increased protein synthesis rates (Accelerated muscle and strength gains)



Supplement Facts

Arachidonic Acid 250mg

Drive


Ask yourself the simple question: If you could create the ultimate sports supplement to boost your body and achieve higher performance, what would you want it to do?



If your answer includes:

  • Increase muscle strength & speed
  • Increase endurance
  • Promote lean muscle growth
  • Speed recovery time
  • Enhance sexual performance
  • Improve mood


…then we have your prescription for achieving these results!



DRIVE by Applied Nutriceuticals is simply the most versatile performance-enhancing sports supplement available. Whether it’s packing an inch of girth on your arms or shaving a second off your best time, DRIVE provides the goods to help you get there.



The synergistic compilation of constituents contained in this unique compound creates a very favorable anabolic environment through a variety of different mechanisms:

  • Combines cGMP and cAMP synergism
  • Increased thyroid activity
  • Aromatase inhibiting effects
  • SHBG inhibition
  • Increased luteinizing hormone activity
  • Improved testosterone:estrogen and testosterone:cortisol ratios.


Supplement Facts

Amount Per Capsule…………. 500mg
StAR Anaplex:
Icariin (50% Extract)
Forslean™ (20%)

A2E4 ATP Synthase:
Dodder Seed (20:1 Cuscuta Chineses)
Naringin (98% Extract)
Cordyceps (7% Cordyceptic Acid)

Goals


My goals for this log is to lean out. I hope within the 50 days of this log I will increase in strength and lean out. I have heard great things about X-Factor and Drive. Both have been reported to have nice leaning effects and I would like to lose some fat while gaining muscles. I will try my best to keep my diet on track and I hope this log goes well. Im hoping to put on 7 pounds or so on this stack while leaning out. I will try my best to keep my diet clean but being the college student that I am, diet is a bit hard to maintain. I will avoid Omega 3 fatty acids for the 50 days and report all of my feelings in an honest and truthful manner. I understand that others are following this log and will look upon this log to make up their decision weather they should or should not buy these products. I will keep an honest log because that is the most important factor of all. Thank you everyone My log will begin tomorrow.


Sidenote

For those of you wondering how this log will work it will be simple. I have decided to make it as easy as possible for everyone. I know it is annoying to go through an entire log to see the ups and downs of a log. I am guilty myself of not reading logs I would like to read because they are long and tedious. I have developed in this Driver's Education log simple ways to find out things. If you wish to find positive benefits of the day look for a green light. A yellow light will indicate a average day possibly a off day and a red light means something bad happened reguarding side effects or lifting strength. This will be the way that I can indicate to the readers if the workout was good or bad. Sometimes it will be mixture of good and bad. I know sometimes people will review my log to see if a certian supplement has side effects. This method will avoid reading the entire log and possibly losing viewers. Look to the red light for side effects or bad day. A reason will be listed below. Yellow lights will be a mixture of good and bad. Look for it for some sides if you wish. I am well aware that many people will be looking forward to this log so I hope that this makes things easier to read for all my viewers. The stack looks solid and im ready to get the gains going.


A red light indicates something bad happened that day. Look for it if you wish to see negative sides

A yellow light indicates that the day was average most likely indicating an off day

A green light indicates that the day was good. Most likely lifts were up or I feel an overall positive feeling throughout my day

Day 1


Comments


Today was the very time I tried sweet sweet Drive and X-Factor. I don't know exactly what to say but Ill tell you I didn't feel much. That is expected of course, it was only the first day. I dosed X-factor upon waking up in the morning with my first meal of the day. I took 3 Drive capsules shortly afterwards and 3 caps in the afternoon. Today was an off day so I didn't really get to test Drive. More to come!
