Ivydude's Herbal Hypertrophic Log

Good job on the log Ivy. I would say that results have been very minimal and for some reason it seems as if no one is following my log. I'm out of it in a week. Oh wells.

:blink:
 
that's disappointing that the results haven't been better

To be completely honest with you, I'm pretty shocked with AX's mannerisms with all of this. It seems as if they aren't even paying attention to the logs, or don't have a vested interest. It's just kind of strange you know. That leading me to the answer of - NO. I have heard nothing from any of the AX team. Oh well.

I agree. Who knows, maybe they're having internal issues or something. Anyway, I can relate to your frustration.
 
no offense to a board sponsor .. well actually i guess its kind of offensive, but its pretty busch league not to even send enough to run the compound properly .. nor check in on their testers .. JMHO
 
Guys how big are the capsules that you received? Mine are really small, much smaller than the '00' and '000' caps USP uses for their herbal stuff.

Im a bit concerned I may have got the wrong product.

My capsules are also pretty small. I'm not sure the exact size though.
 
Ok cool, thanks for the replies. - I was a bit concerned about that and the AX guys do seem to be quite busy at the moment. Ive been following your logs and it seems like the product isnt working out so well...maybe its underdosed. I usually notice the anabolic effect of just plain cissus within a week or so.

I hate to say it, but unfortunately I've gotten no gains from this product. AX said this batch, unlike the previous one, was NOT underdosed, but clearly something is wrong.
 
Day 22

In baseball jargon I was suffering from "flu-like symptoms" today at the gym. Unfortunately my workout was a bit disappointing.

On the plus side, Glen is going to film my DL next Wednesday, and I'll post it here thereafter.

I think I'm scheduled to run out of the HH at that point.

Day 23
About a week left of this stuff. Nothing new to report.

Rage, what did the email from BigSmith say?

I'm not really sure I'm privy to share the information. E-mail BigSmith, I'm sure he'll get back to you promptly. He did with me.

It's nothing surprising. It is what it is, you know.

Thanks, man. What's done is done at this point.
 
Day 24

Today's workout and my one on Monday are going to be extremely light and primarily to increase blood flow. I'm doing this since I'm going for a ME pull on Wednesday. All reps today were at 50% or less. As you can tell, this is very low volume, and mainly warmup sets.

Squat
135 x 10
225 x 8
315 x 5

SLDL
135 x 10
225 x 8
315 x 5

Hyperextensions
BW x 10
BW + 45 x 8

Abs
-1 set of uneven bar bends x 10/side
-decline with a plate x 15

I'm not 100% sure I'm even going to workout on Monday. Also for what it's worth, my weight has not changed.

Just reading your statements, does this mean we now have an official ALRI strike-out????
I think it would be a strike out if it were released. It was just testing.

We are not going to release this product. As I said before anyone who is testing this forumula will get a Hyperdrol for free.

The two herbal components in this product are just not panning out.

Wow, that's news to me. I appreciate that. When do anticipate shipping that out?
 
Day 27

Still resting up before Wednesday. I ate a ton this weekend for Easter. I may do a light workout later tonight time permitting. If I do, I'll post it.

I don't know, I think with the proper time frame that this would result in some gains, perhaps not enough to warrant the sale of it. I have some fat loss it seems, although MP is the main cause, and a hell of a lot of drying out, almost as bad as an AI. But I have actually gained some strength while cutting. . .

Final Day

So today I maxed out on deads, and Glen filmed it (thanks again buddy). I think he's going to post the video here later today once he uploads it.

Final Weight: 179 lbs. (-4 from when I started)

ME Deads (RAW)
warmups
315 x 3
405 x 1
495 x 1
515 x 1 (PR) **Video will be posted

GHRs
x 9
x 8
x 8

Decline Weighted Abs
45 x 15
45 x 15
45 x 12

Final thoughts:
So even though I lost weight on this cycle, I did go up in DLs, and achieve my goal of 515. I know a lot of the increase in DL was due to my diet and training, but the HH may have played a role as well. I think there is a possbility that a 6 week run of this product would yield more strength gains, but since it is not being released I guess we'll never know.

Thank you AX for the testing experience.

Stay tuned for the video.
 
yeah it was a great lift especially at 179 completely raw no straps

the video has his face though and we want to get that out of there .. anyway have any idea how i can edit a movie to blur his face?
 
I was shocked I weighed in at that. I ate so much Easter weekend and went to town on Mexican food last night. But that's why I usually don't put too much credence into how much I weigh...it's more about gains in the gym.
