[DiabeticLiftr]

Weight is still at 140!! I'm happy!! Will update later the cardio of today and all. Final review is on Wednesday (last dose).

Cant wait my dude!

 

[fumoney]

Ok critique time bro!

Pics are last week and now current

Back pic...I see a large difference in your delts and traps and slightly in your lats and back...also noticed your looking leaner in the mid section during this recomp...I mean bulk great job man

<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=63078"/>

Front bi pic....Now in this picture I understand are two slightly different poses but again I see a huge difference in the delt (all them deadlifts lol) and overall size (peak and thickness) of the bicep...also see a very noticeable difference in your traps, chest and forearm...now my only advice is get working on them tris bro fantastic week for you

<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=63077"/>

Damn....howwedo is no joke. Great analysis man.

 

[Celorza]

So sorry guys! I had forgotten to update today!

Day 42 7/29:

Cardio day:

-25 minutes Incline Threadmill for 250 kCals.
-Insane level (level 18) Stairmaster for 250 kCals and around 12~ minutes.
-5 laps of a football field jogging just because I liked the weather outside.

Form-X Notes:
-Honestly, I liked my pics today, and well, tomorrow is exactly 6 weeks with today being day 42 and the doses last 45 days. It has been a long and pleasurable ride! Wednesday will be last dosage day! And final review and thoughts. Weight in will be done on wednesday AM after first dose .

 

[Celorza]

Ok Training is gonna take a change now!! I need to do it perfectly right now!! >:3!!

Monday OH Press:
5.3.1 Main lift (OH Press duh)
Chest: Dumbbell bench press or Incline Dumbbell bench press for 5 sets 10-20 reps.
Back (Lats): Weighted Chin Ups for a total of 50+ Reps in 5 sets OR , 5 sets of a total of over 100 reps
Triceps: Since dips are not that good for MY triceps and work more my chest I'm swapping them out for CGBP OR Triceps Pushdowns for 5 sets of 10-20 reps.

Tuesday, Deadlift:
5.3.1 Deadlift.
Quads: Front Squat 5 sets of 10-20 reps OR Jerks/Power Cleans for 5 sets of 10 reps.
Hamstrings: Prone leg curls 10-20 reps.
Abs: Hanging Leg Raises. BWxFailure for 5 sets

Thursday, Bench press:
5.3.1 BP
Shoulders: OH Press for 60% 1RM at 5 sets of 10 reps.
Back (Strength): Kroc Rows for 5 sets of 15-20 reps.
Triceps: CGBP or Triceps Pushdowns for 10-20 reps @ 5 sets.

Friday, Squat day:
5.3.1 squat
Quads: Leg press 5 sets 10-20 reps.
Lower Back: Hyper Extensions weighted or BW for 5 sets 10-20 reps.
Abs:Weighted Sit ups , weighted incline sit ups. 5 sets 10-20 reps.


Note: Curls will be done in a...whatever fashion in between upper body exercises like Wendler recommends...and Also on BP day I might throw in BW Pull ups in between sets of OH Press Assistance (Shoudler Assistance pulled from the Boring but Big scheme) since Wendler recommends to always do them in between pushing exercises. BW Dips might be done at 5 sets of 20-25 reps on BP or OH press days as an addition since I love Dips. Starts tomorrow!

Also, since I want to get even stronger, I will lower a bit my maxes , meaning my max timex .9 and thus I will be working at 90% of my max, allowing more reps and easier progression from now on. I will simply be adding 5-10 lbs each month for Upper Body days and 10-15lbs on lower body days.

Now this is some good mass workout. I am done saying things like "weight for your size". You are moving weight here. Great job Celorza. Keep knocking these days out.

Once I am done with my cut I am going to run 5/3/1. Probably use your log as a reference.

 

[howwedo107]

Damn....howwedo is no joke. Great analysis man.

Thanks bro this stuff started out as a hobby but now it's my passion like no other

Thanks bro! Hope you do, I already devoured all the book and even found more info from Wendler himself to make it even better! Let me know!!

Meanwhile, people seriously should pay a bit of attention to the new product I will be trying courtesy of Ricky here (howwedo) and I hope you tag along, I will be running also my fourth bottle of Form-X I got from the planet myself because I loved it so much haha, for now check this out folks!! It's awesome, no bogus stuff, no lack of proven research and no bull**** formulas with proprietary blends, pure honest preworkout called Prodigy.

Celly, is a "Hammer up" basically a neutral grip pull up? Never heard that term before.

thanks rob! And I'm glad it has helped, if you have any questions about 5/3/1 I got the book and I know it by heart now haha, just ask away brother LaSane!

I read the book on sunday. I have the App on my Iphone also. What I did today though I felt I didn't do enough. It will be a learning curve but I get the concept and I do agree with it. Big compound movements build strength and muscle. I never did dead lifts before in my life 6 months in and my traps and shoulders are bigger now that they were when I played ball 22 years ago.

It is an awesome program, I think Boring But Big is more for overall strength gains, and Dave Tate's Periodization bible is more for Strength+Mass, it is almost a West Side kind of 5/3/1 , it just doesn't limit you or tells you when to use Dynamic Effort or Power movements .

I liked the program ! Remember!! More than 100 Pull ups a week BW and more than 50 weighted pull ups a week ! Works wonders haha

Prison workouts! get you swole as phuck

Day 44 7/31:

Warmup:
100x5 (Romanians to stretch hammies)
135x5
150x5

Working sets:

160x5

185x5

210x5+5 PR for reps, ten reps for 210 haha hammies are dead! Feeling proud!

Oh and for the Deadlifts , I dont know if this is somewhat something worth mentioning or to be proud of, but now I have managed to do ALL my sets, without a Belt (always just bare handed anyway...) BUT also , with double overhand grip for all sets even the last set.

Quad assistance: Front squat.

135x10
135x10
135x10
135x5
135x6

Tried to get 10 on all and couldn't in the end...next week it WILL be 10 for last 2 sets too.

Prone hamstring curls

70x20
70x20
70x20
70x20
70x20

Hanging leg raises

BWxF
BWxF

Was averaging around 25~ reps all the way up touching the bar with maybe 1 or 2 cheat reps.

Loved the workout and being able to rep 210x10 now, I'll be working true 5/3/1 from now on for higher volume and calculating upon 90% of my real maxes, progression on higher volume should be nicer for me, I know I respond better to it.

Form-X notes:
-The aggression and endurance it gives for higher volume is amazing.

I love my Chicken Drumsticks ! Hahahaha. On a side note, they are actually well indulged indeed, but with Form-X they have grown even more and I finally achieved the definition and size for the cuts on the quads. Problem is...I have REALLY hairy legs...and I am kinda ashamed to post pics like that ! TBH before I ever posted one little Update pic on AM I started shaving my chest and Stomach , it just felt weird posting pics all hairy.

Day 45 8/1:

Final Day and dose today. So its time for the final review, first lets do some numbers ok guys?

Starting weight:135.6lbs
Final Weight: 140.8
Difference: +5.2 LBs

Lifts:

Before:
Squat- 225x2 BUT it was only above Parallel, proper squat below parallel was: 205x1
Deadlift-240x3
BP-185x1
OHP-100x1

After:
Squat- All the way to the ground: 225x1 (+25lbs)
Deadlift- 250x3 (+10lbs on the repping, Haven't attempted a 1 RM)
BP-185x1 (No change, bench is a b1tch)
OHP-105x3 (+5lbs and 2 more reps)

Ok lets start with the product review.

This were the goals:

-Around 3-4lbs of LEAN mass. Met
-Increase in strength Met
-Reduced Bloating due to the AI and "SERM" complex it possesses. Exceeded expectations
-Increased aggression (though many will debate if I need it or not since my pics and attitude does show an angry little smurf...I mean Troll) Aggression and Confidence rose a lot.
-Increased and enhanced Recovery, since going up in weight...dear lord it does make me sore haha and I am a deadlift fanatic So I do go all out on them and I am NOT scared of pushing it to the very last drop of energy in the tank. Recovery did increase, but more between sets as I could complete my workouts faster with rest between sets as little as 30-45 seconds even on the heavy sets.
-I do look for the added health benefits in Piperine and Quercetin and I am curious to see the effect of this Phellodendron Amurensis Extract (Bark). I have to say I thought the "SERM" complex would help more to control the possible Prolactin sides that did occur , however it was minimal.

Ok now on to the Editorial comment:

-Strength: It did go up and quite fast, I started feeling the full on effects of the strength increase after week 1. From then on strength kept rising and rising without any plateauing for the Lower and Upper body lifts. This was shown greatly in my Assistance exercises and in my 10 rep max increase on the Deadlift (210x10). Furthermore the BW exercises did see an increase in added weight, like finally reaching Chin ups with 45lbs hanging for 9 reps and also managing Dips at BW+70x5.

-Endurance: One of the most important aspects IMO, is to point out the fact that DAA does its amazing job are strength increasing, in the matter of volume too. I was able to achieve a 25lb increase in my 10 rep max for deadlifts, not something easy to do, also being able to reach chin ups at BWx30 going all the way up and all the way down, so full ROM. Another aspect I was not dissapointed was my endurance for cardio, Most of you know that I can go ahead and do 1 hour cardios like nothing, but on Form-X 1 hour would be nothing, and I had to control myself and stop because I am attempting to gain weight.

-Libido and Drive: Honestly, I can not lie, I have been in a sort of depression ever since my Ex left me and is now marrying another person by the end of this month...this had me on the down lows and honestly, no woman seemed worth the trouble again for me...I was devastated, well Form-X came and it Started up the engine in my testicles again haha, it seriously made me feel like a horny 13 year old again and I remembered one wise saying: "God gave us men 2 heads...with only enough blood for one, hence we tend to make wise choices" hahaha. Morning wood quality, penile sensitivity and perverted thoughts were OFF THE SCALE.

-Recovery: I gotta say, this is one aspect I hoped would improve a bit more. I would have thought that a bit more of hormonal balance would mean better recovery, however I was amazed at how Aggression can play a role in this, allow me to explain. Form-X does increase testosterone by having proven ingredients for said purpose, now this leads to a certain "Macho" attitude and aggression, the human psyche is heavily influenced by out motivations, and this increased aggression and "powerful+confident" feeling makes you need less rest because you are in control of your pain, even if the burn is high, even if the DOMs are eating you away, it won't matter, recovery between sets will be purely taken over by your mind and will-power to just throw weights around, and having proven that you do get a strength boost from this, you can only want more and more. Thus Recovery in a way is presented in between sets and inside the workout.

-Side effects: Well only one really to report, this is just one minor aspect that Not everyone is prone to! But I had the bad luck to have my body respond this way to DAA. Prolactin side effects. Progesterone can indeed be raised by DAA supplementation, and the AI did not work at controlling it, however let me very clear Form-X does NOT give Gynecomastia and it certainly won't bloat you either like just straight up DAA will. IMO the AI does a fantastic Job against Estrogen side effects, like bloat or emotional responses, BUT It does not work for Prolactin level spikes, however, it is over as soon as one is off the stack, so nothing to worry about.

Lean mass Gains: Numbers speak for themselves, paired with a good diet, it is a really good product to use for a Lean Bulk, since it will keep the bloat away and it will also help as an ergogenic aid for putting on Muscle Mass.

All in all, I can completely to the entirety of my judgement and free will give Form-X a grade of: 9/10 Based on the following Criteria.

Strength: 10/10. It honestly exceeded my expectations.
Endurance: 8/10.
Libido and Drive: 10/10
Side Effects: 7/10
Lean Mass Gains: 10/10. Note, this is more diet dependent, but it does indeed help IMO, without strength gains to push hypertrophy to its limits, this can NOT be achieved.

I want to thank DiabeticLftr and LG Sciences for letting me run this amazing product and Sponsoring me for Full 6 weeks. There aren't many companies out there who will just give you out free stuff in the hopes of getting an honest review out of you with progress updates. This was a way for me to try to compensate for the company being so nice to me, being honest and giving it my max effort. Not to mention I believe in Form-X now that I have tried it and I even purchased myself an extra bottle at the Planet . I recommend this product to anyone looking to increase strength, motivation, mood and endurance. Being so versatile I see it effective for Cut/Recomp/Bulk , in the aspect that in a caloric deficit it can and it will help maintain strength, while on the other hand, on a maintenance or surplus level it WILL help raise strength levels.

Excellent work. Deadlift #'s are impressive at your height/weight. Very informative log . From the pictures it looks like the majority of the weight gain was quality weight.

Weren't you trying 5/3/1 or gonna try it? PM me your routine and maxes if you want me to help yah out bro. On Halo you should be doing Dave Tate's Periodization Bible to reach maximum Hypertrophy as well as developing strength for better numbers on the Main lifts bro!
