I am about 6'4" 235 pounds 19 years old (20 in october) and have been lifting for about 3 years. I am looking to seriously bulk up for next year and am torn between two different stacks to supplement my diet + training. I try to eat about 4k cals/day and get 1g protein/pound of bodyfat. Should I go with:
1. T-Booster stack
-Activate Xtreme
-Triazole
OR
2. Other Stack
-ArA (X-Factor)
-Ecdysterone (E-Bol)
I also take the basics:
-protein
-creatine
-multi
-fish oil
So, other than food, heavy lifting, and the basic supplements, which OTHER supplements should I get?
Or am I just wasting my money and I should just stick with the basics and food. You tell me!

Well for one, damn your a big kid! And two.. you dont need to add anything looks like your good to go, i would do stack 2 just because i have never done it and wnat to try it after my Daa+L-dopa run. You could add a pre and post workout if you got the cash, Iam doing Ultima + Dark matter.. so far loving it. Have done Assault + Recon in the past also pretty good.

You're 19, you don't need testosterone boosters. You can get Triazole/Black Hole if you're bulking as it will help you with your appetite.
ArA is a great non-pH choice for everyone. Stack this with Vengeance and it's pure win.
I'm not a big fan of multivitamins since I get them from my nutrition. You could replace that with another tub of protein probably. But again, if you reach your macros without the need of supplements, might as well save your money.
Supplement - to aid. You should never depend on them. Must make whole food your #1 choice in nutrition.

Alright I was doing some research on the ArA and read that it increases DOMS. This made me wonder if it would affect my training in some way because I currently run a high frequency, low volume type workout:
Day 1: Chest/Back (A)
Day 2: Legs (Squats)
Day 3: SHoulders/Arms(A)
Day 4: Off
Day 5: Chest/Back (B)
Day 6: Legs(DL)
Day7: Shoulders/Arms (A)
About 12 high intensity sets/week (6 per training session A or B) per bodypart. The frequency is high, but with a somewhat busy schedule I do not make it to the gym 3 days on 1 off religiously so it works out as far as recovery goes.
Anyways, would the increased DOMS be a major factor in the way I train (2x/week)
Also, you say "at my age ArA would work better," however, I noticed you're 20 and have ran a tbooster before. Do you really think the years difference between the two of us made a difference. Or were you generally speaking from experience? Just wondering. Repped if not on RC. Thanks.

I'm not saying 1 yr makes any difference at all. AX and Triazole are regarded products that I will most likely try in the future. But what I'm saying is that the results from XF/XFA were much more significant, and I almost guarantee that it will give you more signigicant gains than a t-booster/AI.
Also, training two times a week could possibly give you problems. Pending on how the increased DOMS affects you. For me it wasn't a problem (I ran XFA).

Another protein powder wouldn't hurt. I've had great experiences with preworkouts. Most of them are placebos. The only thing that hit me bad was Beta-Alanine. Not the bulk ones. Try SNS, and you'd get quality workouts.
EDIT: If you're going to run ArA, avoid Omega-3(anti-inflammatory products) as well as joint support supplements.
