First timer: Activate Xtreme + Lean Xtreme stack!

[Stork]

Sup guise, I'm hopefully gonna get my AX/LX tomorrow and I can't freakin' wait so I'm gonna write up this log a day early...

Pre-stack stats:
Weight: 81.4kg (179lbs)
Height: 1.85m (6'1")
Bench: 12x60kg (135lbs), estimated 1rm: 80kg (180lbs)
Squat: 1rm around 80kg (180lbs) (really not sure on this one, haven't squatted for a while)
Deadlift: 1rm around 135kg (300lbs)
[Pics are in the first reply, didn't wanna scare you off too quickly ]
Yes I know I suck, I just wanna get rid of this fat once and for all so I can clean bulk without jiggling when I move. Problem areas: stomach fat, hips, pec fat.


Goals:
Am going on holiday in 6 weeks, I'd like (for the first time in my life) to be able to take my shirt off without feeling self conscious, so I wanna lean up and if I'm really lucky, put on a little bit of size too.


Program & diet:
My diet will be 2500 calories per day ketogenic cycling, I eat a load of carbs on saturday, sunday morning, and none for the rest of the week. I will eat five meals a day at 500 calories each, getting around 40% of my calories from protein and 60% from fat*.
My program is a four day split: chest/triceps, back/biceps, [rest], legs, shoulders, [rest]. It's focused around the main lifts, bench, row, squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses, with some accessory exercises. I usually do about 10-15 sets per large muscle group with like 3-4 sets for arms. I will also be doing 20-30 minutes of cardio at least 4 times per week.

*I may adjust this depending on the results I get while on the product, at the moment I'm on 2000/day and this is too little (often hungry and tired) so I'm gonna bump up to 2500/day.


Supplements:
Just fish oils, joint stuff (glucosamine + MSM), creatine (ethyl ester), some amino acids + caffeine preworkout, and whey protein (brand: MyProtein whey isolate) post workout.


Results:
-- Will update this section when I have results --


Product experiences:
-- Will update this section as I go, with my experiences with the product. --






All advice and criticism welcome, thanks guys. Hopefully the products will arrive tomorrow morning so I can get started.

Thanks mate! As you can see I decided against the full PH as I won't have enough time to do a full PCT before my holiday which is a shame but hopefully I can put in some damn hard work and make some good gains with this stack!

Good luck! I'll be following along.

There is NOTHING wrong with that. I am on what will be my last cycle of PH's. I don't see enough results running a PH to have to go through all the **** you have to do to play it safe. A stack like you have+protein and a good diet/workout regime will be just FINE! Good luck bro

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

The site I ordered from apparently have had a late delivery of LX, so it's not gonna get dispatched until thursday, so I might not even be able to start this week on the plus side they put in a few free samples to make up for the late shipping, but I'm still mad.

that sux mann..hopefully you get it soon, would like to see how this goes

Subbed, wishing you huge gains good luck...

Day 1:
So the stuff arrived this morning (0730, bloody postal service!), all in all about 30 days worth at 2 servings of AX/day and 3 servings of LX/day, so I started yesterday morning.

Did some fasted cardio in the morning, burnt off 300 calories in about 20 minutes, washed it down with a protein shake.

Diet:
Meal 1: Tuna mayo with sliced tomato and mint tea
Meal 2,3,4: Lamb mince in tomato sauce, served with more sliced tomato
Meal 5: Egg + bacon with a bit of mayo.
Total: About 2500 calories, no carbs, 200g+ protein.

So far so good. Not feeling anything from it yet but that's to be expected really.

Day 2:
Busy day, just moved back to my parents house so there was a lot of packing/unpacking done, but I did manage a morning workout, and not to eat any carbs, didn't manage to count calories though.

Workouts:
First one
Clean to front squat*: 3x5x65kg (145lbs)
Overhead press: 5,5,5,5,4 @ 45kg (100lbs) fail
Deadlift: 5x85kg (190lbs) (just wanted to see how it'd feel)
Pull ups: 7 wide grip, 4 wide grip, 4 close grip, then 2 close grip with 5kg (10lbs) weight with slow negatives.
All in all not a bad workout, I'm a bit disappointed not to have made my 5x5 overhead presses but I haven't done that in a while.

Diet:
Meal 1: Tuna mayo with sliced tomato and mint tea
Meal 2,3: Beef mince with onions and some tomato
Meal 4: Fajitas (chicken + peppers and onions fried up) with some avocado and mayo.
No carbs, plenty of protein.

Supps:
Still not feeling anything but it's early days yet.

Day 3:

Meal 1: Tuna mayo with sliced tomato and mint tea
Meal 2,3: Pork mince with onions and some tomato
Meal 4: 3 eggs boiled with mayo and a small amount of rice.
Meal 5: 4 eggs scrambled with some cheese and more mayo.
Had some carbs as tomorrow is gonna be a carb-up day.

Went running with my dog in the morning, had plenty of energy but from mid-afternoon onwards felt pretty lethargic. Also today felt really vascular, might have been the heat or it might have been the AX kicking in

[Stork]

Day 4:
Strong cheat day!

Had some like oat cereal for breakfast with milk + protein powder (can't have been good for me), then went rock climbing for 2 hours, that was my workout for the day. Damn hard work.

Came back and had like spaghetti with meat, loads of carbs overall. Still feeling pretty vascular and lean, but I don't expect the carb-up did anything good to my weight.

[Stork]

Day 5:
Boring as hell day... Diet was ample - minimal carbs involved, did a workout too:

Clean to front squat: 5,4,4 @ 67.5kg (150lbs)
Flat DB press: 5,5,5,5,5 @ 27.5kg (61lbs)
BB Row: 5,5,5,5 @ 62.5kg (140lbs)
Diamond push ups: 8,7,7,6
Followed with some skipping for cardio.

All in all not a great workout - failed my 3x5 on front squats. Maybe I'm still waiting for this sh*t to kick in. Also weighed in f*cking heavy this morning thanks to yesterdays carb-up..

[Ericisfly]

the conversion from kg to lbs is very helpful, goodluck!

[Stork]

Day 6:
Was gonna go rock climbing this morning but I felt ill as hell, must have crapped out half my colon. I guess that's what you get for cheating...

After feeling like death for 3 hours normal progress was resumed, and my diet was carb-free and ample.

In terms of workout all I've done is some walking and some skipping, just some light cardio. Tomorrow will be rock climbing and maybe strength training if I have any energy left (and my hands aren't torn to pieces).

[Stork]

Day 6,7:
Went rock climbing friday morning, and thankfully my ephedrine arrived so I've added that to my stack.



... Went and ruined everything by going out friday night, had a bit to drink (not much, managed to restrain myself) and didn't get a great night's sleep. My diet saturday was poor, too.

Tomorrow I get back into the groove...

Also forgive me if I leave some gaps in this journal but at the moment lifting sadly seems to be taking kinda a back seat, so I've got other **** on my mind
