xfactor:
4 pills for full 50 days

basic cuts:
one dose (2 pills) for full 50 days

rebound xt:
wk2: 50mg
wk3:75mg
wk4: 75mg
wk5: 100mg
wk6: 75mg
wk7: 50mg
day 50: 25mg

I weigh 190lb about 5'9

I thinking about doing a cycle to lose some weight and harden up. I hear x-factor is real good with that. Im not sure if I should dose the rebound xt like that or should I use it later in the cycle or even use it. My diet is perfect so no need to help their.

i ran x factor and added ultra hotter after 2 weeks. results kicked ass. i did 4 x factor split throughout the day and 3-4 of the atd before bed. strength gains were really good considering this to be a natural stack. i finished the atd about 1 week ago and have another week left of x factor. unfortunately, ive been experiencing symptoms of overtraining, so im taking time off right now.

ATD is known for libido crushing effects. Usually sets in after a week+. Go with something like customs Xtreme Tribulus or something like that.

AA increase the androgen recpetor density in the cell, so it makes sense to stack an aromatase inhibitor with it. Since anti-estrgen/aromatase-inhibitor increase testosterone leveles, and AA increase AR denisity both will make a good synergic anabolic combo.

I think 6-oxo is better that ATD for this purpose, since ATD seems to have anti-androgen properties.

so how would activate, atd, and x factor satck?...from what you said about increasing androgen receptor density, this seems like it might be a hell of a stack

i thought it would make a great stack, infact i was thinking to try it soon. But molecular Nutrition rep advised against stacking X-factor and activate for some reason.

in my x factor atd experience, my bodyweight increased from 176 lbs to 184 lbs with minimal bodyfat added. strength increased significantly though. at the beginning, 225 lbs would go up for 5-6 on flat bench. now, i get it for 12 reps. make sure you abide by all the rules of taking x factor cause ive followed some logs where gains completely stop when taking efa's and such. get your fats from dairy, meat, coconut oil, and whole eggs.

i think the whole thing with x factor stacked with activate is still up in the air. it was advised against because activate has some anti inflammatory properties i believe. however, i think it was uhockey or robboe who concluded that the two can be stacked. theres gotta be someone whos tried it.

I'm very interested in taking X-factor with Activate. I think they would work very well together.

I've heard about people thinking about doing it but haven't heard of anyone actually doing it yet.

I think because of the somewhat high cost of X-Factor people are reluctant to running anything that might inhibit the product. Has anyone who has used X-Factor had any exacerbation of inflammatory ailments such as asthma or joint soreness?

ATD+Activate+X-factor would be completely sick! As would X-factor plus Diesel Test.

But X-Factor works great on its own when used properly. Just be sure you aren't using any heavy anti-inflammatory agents. What not to use:

NSAIDS (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc)
Flax/fish oil (or other heavy source of omega 3s)
NAC
Cissus q.
Ashwahganda

I usually recommend getting most fat intake from animal sources and extra virgin coconut oil. I also just say stop taking ANYTHING (aside from basics) while using X-Factor just to be sure. But there is definitely reason to believe that certain stacks would be very VERY potent.

I'm a bit lazy to do the research myself so is AA a pro-inflammatory or does one jsut need to restrict anti-inflammatories? I have some joint issues and as such can't afford to take any product that will have a pro-inflammatory effect? So am I best off just passing on this product? I use a lot of the no-no supps including omega3, NAC, Cissus, and Celadrin to keep pain at bay.

Yes it is a pro-flammitory. It is recommended if you have a injury that you stay away from this product. The inflamitory response will make the pain worse.

This is news to me. I'm gonna look into it. But I can imagine it was for the same reason some people still are afraid of it: simple misunderstanding.

VS picked it up when it was very new, and it just didn't move well enough for them. They are a big company, and restock their inventory based on what sells fast. In retrospect, it was probably a little early for us to work with them.

We're not MuscleTech, nor do we have their advertising budget. Most of the advertising from X-Factor has been due to word of mouth referrals. I suspect if they pick it up again it will move much faster for them now.. It is taking some time, but word is finally getting out about the product. It works.

i think EFA's and arachidonic acid fight for absorption. i know EPA inhibits the use or production of AA and supposedly DHA is good to take with x factor according to phosphate bond. i got all my fats from dairy, meat, whole eggs, and shredded coconut during this time. its not so bad, but i did hate giving up peanut butter.

X-Factor did seem to further inflame a mild back injury I have. Although it was certainly a noticable increase in inflammation/pain it was still very tolerable. It kept me from doing heavy leg work for a couple of weeks but that is not entirely X-factor's fault IMO, just the nature of the injury.

That said I gained about 3-4 lean pounds while reducing my bf noticably. Muscles were denser and more vascular. I didn't notice any amazing strength gains, however my diet was likely partly to blame. I upped the dosage to 6 pills per day after my back pain subsided and recieved no percievable benefit or negative side effect from doing this.

All in all this cycle was worthwhile paticularly becuause there was no PCT to deal with. A more biased opinion is that X-Factor is not as fun as a true AAS cycle, however it is convienient and did produce results for me on par with a very mild AAS compound..in the neighborhood of M4OHN.

Thanks for the feedback. I have tendonitis and this won't help at all.

Lunch: Turkey sandwhich whole wheat bread x factor (2 pills)

snack: EAS whey protein shake with milk (74g)

Dinner: Chicken breast x-factor (1 pill)

snack: EAS whey protein shake with milk (74g)

That is one of the ugliest diets I have ever seen.

I don't know for sure, but the Inhibit-E might interfere with XF. Also, how much fat are you getting each day? From what sources?

BTW, by saying you don't "feel" anything, what exactly are you trying to feel? I mean, this isn't a stim, this isn't NO, if you're cutting you probably aren't going to "feel" anything in particular. But you should be able to measure extreme results.

I know my diet isn't the best but i can't really record what i eat everyday because its different every day for me. Im trying to stay away from all the food which affect X-factor. I know x-factor wouldn't give a stim feel, i meant the feelings like increased sorness. Should i stop taking the Inhbit-E to see if it is affecting the x-factor.
Anyway thanks for your help

Today i've decided to drop the inhibit-E and Basic cuts and save it for after the 50 days. To see if it was affecting the x-factor and try to get the full potential of the product.

somethign I don't think anyone touched upon....

When I ran Xfactor i definitely noticed increased soreness in my joints.

When I run ATD it feels like my joints are ready to pop...

adding these together might be more than a little harsh on the joints...

no, Bill enforces his patent very well.

Syntrax used to make a product called adonis (one i thought was out before Xfactor) but they have stopped producing it now that bill holds the patent.


It is commonly used in food production/preservation....you might be able to find someone selling it online for this purpose. In terms of a sports supplement I don't think you will have any luck

I agree. ATD plus XF could be a painful experience for some. I personally would not run them together. Though I know of several people who are about to run the NHA and X-Factor soon. Time will tell how their joints feel on it.

Really? I didn't know this. I know that it is added to baby formula but that is not an economical alternative (I ran the numbers on that some time ago).

How is arachidonic acid used in preservation? As far as I know it rancidifies farely easily being an n6 and all.

I can't imagine running it myself, but I tend to suffer from pain in my shoulders/knees even when using the basics (protein, creatine etc).

You would not be able to use a product like cissus while on Xfactor, correct?

Yeah. I talked with the USPLabs guy and he said it himself that Cissus would likely counteract XF by inhibiting COX-2.

...however, that isn't a for sure (only a 95% for sure ;)). Just because Cissus inhibits COX-2 does not guarantee that it will inhibit XF's effectiveness. Someone would have to try the stack to know for sure (similar to ActivaTe and XF).

if you need a guinea pig let me know lol.

I think the ~$100 the stack costs would be too much for me to experiment with it on my own

Some people who have elevated COX-2 (most likely obese people who are typified by arachidonic acid deficiency in skeletal muscle) may actually benefit by lowering resting COX-2 levels when they use X-factor.

The real benefits of AA in muscle come when it is stimulated from resting cells. That's when you get the really good prostaglandins like PGF 2 alpha (etc) that can improve glycogen synthesis/insulin sensitivity and protein synthesis.

By controlling hyperinsulnemia this way you make the rest of your body more healthy.
