Question Winter Bulk Stack help

Currently in college. Gonna have a break from Dec. 16 to Jan. 23. Planning on going to gym and start working out as I stopped becuase icouldnt keep up with school work.

Old gym stats
age 18;
6'2
177 pounds


Current Stats
Age 18
6'2.5
158.5

Im planning on going to gym 3 times a week and 4000 calorie diet... now moving to supplement

Would be taking protein shakes post work
Weight Gainer before bed time
Energy Drink Pre-work

Im looking for a nice stack or addtional supple.

Thinking about
-Size On Tabs
-Activate Extreme
-Mass fx
-Halodrol Liquigels
-X-Factor

Out of the above..which should a take stand alone or stack or can you suggest another good supplement or stack..




thx

You listed some good products, but most of those I wouldn't take @ age 18 (probably not what you want to hear).

As long as your diet and training are both in order, then a ActivaTe Xtreme, X-Factor, and SizeOn stack should produce desired results. Lots of individuals your age have used the ActX and XF stack with much success.

The supplements can be taken at 18 and they are not prohormones which I know I will not bother with until 21. And yes.. i dont want to hear it ;]

I already researched the Activate Xtreme-X Factor stack but just asking.. adding the size on tabs will just help (?) because some people had worries about the water from creatine

The stack looks killer bro and looks like you have you mind made up that you are going to do this.

A few things, Thats a lot of $ for someone going to the gym 3 times a week.
Being you are 18 and have been away from the gym for some time, why not workout for a year and then try some stacks.

With that I'm not a big fan of mixing supps.
If you are going to stack, try this for 12 weeks and you will GET BIG.


Mass FX 1-4 then 9-12
HyperdrolX2 1-12
Retain2 1-4 then 9-12



Get more info at www.anabolicx.com

Be safe and do it right bro.

What does your workout look like????

Lower B (heavy deadlift/lighter thigh and core):
Deadlift 5x5*

Without a doubt the addition of SizeOn will only add to the stack's effectiveness.

The first workout plan was taken from a good hardgainers workout from ironaddict which bases the exercises to stimulate the whole body with trama with compound movements.
