That's a negative. I may have un-officially retired from posting hot avatars. There's absolutely NO competition for me... weaklings. :D

Haha. While I doubt you are DONE posting hot avi's, I do have to agree that you had some of the best. Iron Lungz's avi's/Formex stack FTW.
 
[size=+3]Day 25 of Formex[/size]​


[size=+1]Workout[/size]- OFF day

- I took another 2 off days in a row on days 24 and 25. I headed to the gym last night (sat) around 10:00 pm and didn't know that they closed early on saturdays (although I should have because my old gym used to). I thought about doing some stuff back at the house with the little equiptment we had, but I decided to just hit it hard today (sun).

Libido- Has been on the rise from the little drop I had.
Strength- n/a
Body Composition- meh, lookin ok
Vascularity- not very good yesterday
Pump- n/a.
Mood- Good for a while, and then bad at night.
Recovery- Felt fully recovered from my Chest/Bi's day!
Side-effects (acne, aggression)- none really, a couple pimples.

Well, yesterday was day 28. I think I have 2 caps left for my workout tomorrow and then I'm all out. I will go ahead and write my review tomorrow. I was going to have an update from yesterday up, but I can't seem to find my notebook that I write my workouts down in, so I will just post up my thoughts on libido, mood, etc here in just a few

Edit: Yesterday as in 2 days ago now that its almost 1 am
 
[size=+3]Day 28 of Formex[/size]​


[size=+1]Workout[/size]- Back/Tri's

- I was supposed to do Hams on this day too, but I decided to go to the gym in the morning before class and didn't have time for hams. I usually never work out in the mornings, instead more in the evening, but I had a great, fast paced workout. I felt as if my metabolism was boosted significantly throughout the day from my morning workout and my vascularity was also better all day. Anyway, I can't seem to find my workout log, so as soon as I hunt it down I will post up my lifts and more thoughts on this workout. Here's how I have been feeling on Formex the past couple of days:

Libido- Definitely has been up this week..
Strength- Felt pretty good, although I haven't been going as heavy as I was throughout most of my log, so who knows.
Body Composition- Lookin pretty good. I'd say arms, shoulders are definitely bigger, either that or I'm just leaner in those areas or both.
Vascularity- been on the rise. Was good yesterday (Tues) and also really good tonight (Wed.- off day).
Pump- My pump was pretty darn good. Felt tight in all the right places
Mood- On and off between happy and annoyed, but overall good mood.
Recovery- Tri's are sore. We will see how they fare tomorrow if I do chest.
Side-effects (acne, aggression)- None really. My skin might be oilier, but I think that is a good thing because my skin tends to dry up too much and that's when it breaks out.

You could try using some oil-free face lotion. I know, sounds kinda feminine, but believe me, whether your face tends to be oily or dry, lotion really helps with breakouts. :)
 
Looks great so far.

Couple points/questions.

1. I have extensive experience with other AIs in the past, and over time noticed a similar sleep-quality issue when dosing at night. This was especially apparent with ATD. I both had issues staying asleep and issues with sleep quality.

2. Do you think this is a product that you would have better results with running for 2 month as opposed to 1? It really looks like you haven't hit the "meat" of the supplement till about 2-3 weeks in. IMHO, maybe run it at the same dose for another month?

On #2. I was actually really pleased with the strength gains for 1 month of use. If I were to buy 2 bottles, I don't think I would run it longer, just at a higher dose. I think the only reason I would run it longer would be to lean out more or do a cut with it. I'm interested in running Formex standalone at a much higher dosage (4-6 caps/day) or as a bridge to a cycle (IBE rep input needed on dosing for a bridge).
 
Final Review

Alright guys and babywifey. This will be my final review. I wasn't too familiar with AM when I started this log and wasn't aware that I could have used the 2nd post for the final review so here it is. By the way, I can't get pics up tonight, but I will get them up tomorrow. Here is a final review over the criteria I described on each update. I can't compare Formex to transdermal Formestane because I have not tried td form..


Libido- Shot up in the first week of Formex and stayed pretty high for about a week and a half. My libido then leveled off about halfway through and stayed that way for a week or two and then shot back up for the last week of use.

Strength- By far my favorite effect of Formex. Of course my training was geared towards strength, but I was surprised at how fast I progressed and how many PR's I set. Looking over the other Formex logs I saw that a lot of people noticed improved endurance. My conclusion would be that Formex increases performance in whatever your goal is. Mine was strength, so that is where I excelled while others in endurance.

Body Composition- My body composition saw some change. In the first two weeks I noticed some leaning out. After the second week, my diet started getting a little bit dirty and I stopped noticing the leaning out, but I wasn't getting fat either. The last 2 weeks I noticed that I started putting on a little bit of size, most notably in the arms, shoulders, and chest. I think had I been training for size it would have been more pronounced.

Vascularity- I feel as if Formex didn't affect my vascularity. I may have become a little more vascular as I started to lean out, but I think this aspect mainly relied on diet and water intake.

Pump- I didn't notice much as far as pump went, but most of the time there wasn't a chance to get a pump going seeing as I was training with sets of low reps and decent rest between sets.

Mood- I think it was mostly good. My mood was fairly dependent on whether or not my gf and I were getting along and we seemed to get along most of the time. I did find myself getting irritated every once in a while, but it wasn't anything too bad.

Recovery- I'm going to go ahead and say that my recovery was pretty good. I say this because I was able to hit tri's hard and in two days (1 off day in between each lifting session) I was able to hit a new PR on bench. I also felt strong every time I went in to lift and didn't really have any BAD days.

Side-effects (acne, aggression)- Maybe there were side effects and maybe there weren't, but the fact that I didn't really notice any means that they were very bearable and hardly there. I a few times during one week where I wouldn't be able to stay asleep and I was easily woken up. But, this side effect seemed to subside as long as I didn't dose Formex at night. I'd say my acne didn't change because of Formex and my aggression was in check. If there were any side effects they were easily tolerable.

[size=+2]Would I purchase this product-[/size] Yes, and I'll tell you why. First of all the versatility is very appealing. My results using Formex standalone were great. Formex though, can also be used on cycle to control estrogen or as a bridge and it can be used in PCT. I'm most interested in using it as a bridge for a cycle or standalone at a higher dose. Second of all, Formex increased my strength far beyond where I thought my strength would be at this point. The effects that Formex had on my strength alone would be enough for me to purchase it. Third of all, Formex is priced great. It is fairly cheap and effective for its cost.


I'd like to thank Iron Lungz and IBE for choosing me to log Formex. It was a gamble for them to pick someone so new to AM, but I'm glad I was chosen and had a good time logging Formex. I'd also like to thank everyone who stopped in on my thread and made it interesting and asked questions. I feel that it was a pretty productive log and had fun doing it.


P.S. If anyone wants me to cover anything else or other aspects of Formex, just ask in this thread or shoot me a PM. I will hopefully be posting up after pics tomorrow when I have the chance to get my gf to take pics with her camera since I need a new battery for mine.
 
Thank you so much for the very detailed log. You put forth an effort that most simply do not. I, along with IBE appreciate it greatly.
I wish you luck in the future Sponsored Logs; if you ever need a recommendation, please don't hesitate to let me know; however, if a company just scans this log, they will see that you are more than dependable, you are dedicated and have self-pride.

Thanks again, man!

I won't be able to get pics up tonight, sry guys. I have to much school work I need to get done after getting off work. I'll post them up as soon as I can, hopefully tomorrow
 
Great review PF. :thumbsup:

Nice detailed log & honest feedback.

Gives the consumer good information to base their future purchases on.

Cheers
 
Sorry guys, these are overdue

Here are my pics!
Sorry it took me so long to get these up, school's been hectic this past week..

Also, sorry about all the pink sh*t in the background; the pics were taken in my girl's room. Also the before pics (on the right) are a little bit more fuzzy than my after pics because I tried taking the before pics by myself

Well, I was going to put the front double bi and leg pic on here as well, but seeing as my internet is moving so slow (probably due to the ridiculous storm) I am unable to upload the last two after pics to put on here, so I will get them up as soon as I can and hopefully it has stopped storming by tomorrow morning (thunder set off a few car alarms about half an hr ago)
 
Thank you for logging this, PF; this log was very detailed and straight-forward.

Would you consider running Formex again if you had to buy it?
 
hey don't want to be a pain>>> but
