Evan666 said:Today I woke up feeling much better. Popped a bulbine and some alcar when I woke up to get me going.
Today was arms and I was bound and determined to kill it.
I wanted to show you guys the pump I'm experiencing from x-gels. I did my best with the pictures but they aren't the best of quality. Ill see if I can get better ones another day!
Took my 1.5g x-gels and was off!

Ummm....your legs are attached where your arms should be. That is some crazy mass ??? Imagine when that is sculpted down a bit. You are going to look sick !!!!!!
Dude :yikes:
Your arm post workout looks like it doubled in size :bigeyes:
Another note..
Noticing some serious joint pain. I better grab some cissus or something!
Evan666 said:Shoulder Day!!
Still rocking and rolling. The x-gels are giving me 24/7 muscle hardness... its pretty incredible. I'm sore as HELL today!
In top of all this x-gels awesomeness the bulbine makes me feel like a 16 year old! I swear.. probably TMI but the weird spontaneous erections are crazy and happen at the most inopportune times haha! Seriously has a mind of its own lately.
Took 1g of x-gels today, and really didn't notice any lessor effects. Ill probably continue at this dosage.

Only 1500cals today... but still feeling great. I think the ARA is Carb hungry lol I have been craving more carbs lately. Jasmine brown rice is the DEAL!
My strength and stamina are incredible for the diet I'm eating. It really is impressive!
I tried fasted lifting today and failed big time. BCAA wasn't enough. I needed real food.

Evan666 said:Mandatory chest Monday!
The weekend went great. Got some good rest in, and some "quality" time in with the wife(thanks bulbine!) Weird thing was on Sunday, my weight was 278 again..? Its got to be water or glycogen because I averaged about 1800cals each day last week.
I think I am going to switch up my x-gels dosing. I'm going to run 2g per day on workout days and 1g on off days.
Hit chest hard today. Took my 2g x-gels, 500mg agmatine, 2g alcar, 8g gms, craze, 225mg icariin, bulbine, and mcc.
After my warm up sets I felt like a monster. Incline bench felt light as hell. But afterward, my chest kinda took a **** which was odd. It felt kinda like the chest muscle was tearing.. or cramping? Really weird. It was hard to get them to contract at all and the eccentric stretch was almost painful. I'm not too sure what this was about, but I dropped the weight and hit some volume. The pump was crazy today.. hell I'm still pumped!
My pectorals are still twitching now 3 hours post workout. Maybe I caused some kickass hypertrophy?
Also, joint pain was crazy today. My right elbow started acting up bad and during warm up I felt like the tin man. I stopped taking OT and fish oil because of the zinc and anti inflammatory properties.. but I think I need to start it up again because today was painful!

Evan666 said:Hit some back and biceps today.
Felt ridiculous strength today. Today was also this first day I used SNS creatinol-o-phosphate preworkout and damn was there a difference. No burning sensation at all.. pretty awesome.
Pumps are still spectacular and around the clock, but I've been experiencing some stomach discomfort at 2g ArA x-gels a day. I feel like I'm still leaning but the weight on the scale isn't moving.. really odd as I was consistently losing 2+ pounds per week.

DJBeanPole said:Nice workout day! I'm doing the same muscle groups today but I don't think I'll be approaching anywhere near your numbers lol. Hammer curls I could probably get pretty close...
I think the reason you are not seeing the scale move so much anymore is that you're muscle gain to fat loss has equalized. Initially I'm sure it was just pure fat coming off of you so you noticed a drop and now you're starting to gain lean mass while the fat is still flowing off of you like hot liquid magma. Nothing but a good sign, brother!
Evan666 said:Hit a PR today with back. 630lbs on sit-down machine row for 7! Pretty happy with that. Everything is still going really good.. no side effects to report or anything.
Hit a little bit of back and arms today! Workout was intense, I was sweating like crazy. The thermo effect of x-gels is insane.. my shirt was soaked. My training buddy will be picking some x-gels up today, so I'm very excited to see what he thinks in the coming weeks.
Going to take the weekend off of all supplements and let my CNS recover.. its been a crazy week.

fumoney said:Holy sh*t son. You cod probably row across Atlantic to watch the Olympics in person. OK, enough silliness. That is damn impressive Evan. You have me intrigued on x-gels. With so many companies coming out with great supps, I may need a 2nd mortgage on my house.
Haha thanks brother. These x-gels kick ass.. that second mortgage might be worth it haha!
Evan666 said:Woke up yesterday and weighed in at 279! haha.. looks like I am putting on some muscle. I am going to start adding in some more cardio to get that number to keep coming down. I truely do feel leaner though.. my forearms, traps, and triceps are filling out quite a bit and my clothes are just getting looser. I am not too sure what to think of this..? Ill see if I can mod my cals/carbs and increase/change cardio up to see whats going on.
I am really impressed so far with x-gels and bulbine. Bulbines effects havent worn off which is surprising to me, as this happened with another bulbine product that I have experience with, and the x-gels seem to only get better with continued use.
I have a heavy chest day today where I am going for all out strength. Ill be back later today with the report!
