Calling for X factor testers!! (fish oil friendly this time)

[Phosphate bond]

So you guys know the drill. Put down your stats (age, height, weight, bodyfat % etc), current supplements, training routine and most importantly how much fish oil in mg EPA/DHA you use on average because we are going to let you use your preferred fish oil dose this time. Do not tell me how many caps you use because that doesn't tell me much. I only want to know active EPA/DHA mgs only.

Please include how many years training you have and indicate if you have ever used X factor before.

Now I don't care if you use 1800 mg per day of EPA/DHA, but please be honest with how consistent you are with your dosing. If try to get 1800mgs in, but admit to missing doses please take that into account for your "average". The average is more important that your peak daily amount.

Only restrictions are NSAIDs. Although if you must use them for a headache (emergency) please indicate this in your log so we are aware of this. That way we can take this into account.

Any other questions please let me know.

I think we plan on starting the logs around the first week in September give or take. We will be selecting well before that though.

Goals and Background:
To keep on trimming down while cutting without losing any lean muscle. My ultimate goal is to reach a more defined muscular look, and oh yeah to have a kick ass set of abs

Background: I easily lose and gain fat. I seem to gain muscle at a moderate pace.

Training experience:
About 6 years of experience with weights.
Quick Recap of Progress:
2001 til 2004 On and off with the weights. Sometimes serious.
09/2004 til 06/2005 Main focus was weight loss (Went from 205 down to 138 lbs).
06/2005 til Present Shifted goal to just obtaining an overall better body. Bulking and cutting since and have put on a good 10-15 lbs of muscle.

I've used 5x5 training with great results
5 day splits (with various rep schemes, drop sets, negatives…)
full body workouts
Lower/upper splits
Circuit Training
Many self created workout routines based around compound movements

Supplement history:
Products Used (Compilation of products I have used):
All the basics (Whey,fish oil, vit c,….)
Formulated fat burners
Lipo6 (Good can’t go wrong with caffeine and synephrine)
ThermoShred (Perfect for b4 summer)
H.E.A.T. (Stacked with AMP was top of the line fat burners)
Methyl Ripped (Had high hopes for but sucked)
Inferno (Solid fat burner, cost too much)
SAN Tight! (Good energy. Like the fact only one pill. Didn’t try long enough to see fat burning effects)
Optidrene (ephedrine GNC product. It’s ephedra so of course it was good)
thermoDynamX Old Version (fairly good fat burner)
ThermoGain (good for energy in gym,, decent overall)

Miscellaneous
Syneburn (works great with ephedrine and tyrosine, supressed appetite and increased energy)
Yerba Mate' (Perfer to use over caffeine pills)
Ephedrine HCL (ephedrine is always a top fat burner)
L-tyrosine (helps with energy works well with ephedrine/synephrine)
Acetyl L-Carnitine (Didn’t really use large enough dose or long enough)
NADH (didn't seem to get much out of it)

Muscle Building/Recovery
ZMA (Helped me sleep well but I am unsure about other effects)
Novadex XT (I absolutely love this stuff)
BCAAs (Great for recovery)
L-taurine (Cell volumizer. Also good for back pains/pumps)
Rebound XT (Great product helped with increased strength and muscle, caused acne though)
Superdrol (amazing)
Luekic (Good but there’s better options)
Glutamine (I use when I can find it cheap and while cutting)

Creatine Products
CE-XL (Solid advanced creatine)
CEE (prefer using during cutting, stick with creatine mono during bulking)
Creatine Monohydrate (respond well although I expereince the bloating)
Cell Mass (Basically a more expensive bulk CEE)
Size ON (Only tried a sample but I swear I felt it. Buying it some very soon)

Preworkout Supplements
H+Blocker (Great product really noticed a difference)
NO-Xplode (Good but I have to use an increased doseage and effects decrease over time)
Shredded Mass (Tried one sample not bad for PreWorkout energy)
GAKIC (Thought it sucked)

Stimulants
Stimulant X (for some reason didn’t do too much)
Stizm ( Really good kick but seemed to make me feel sick on occasion)
Ergopharms AMP (Nice clean energy boost)

Appetite Suppressors
Hoodia (OK appetite suppresant but I don't believe it lived up to the Hype)
Cayenne Pepper ( Can’t say I got that much except for vicious heartburn)
Lean XP (Works awesome for appetite suppression)

Proteins
Muscle Milk (Tastes Great perfect bedtime shake or meal replacement)
GF Pro Green Apple(Taste: really good; mixability: great; price: Pretty good for WPI)
Extreme Whey Vanilla( Taste: Suprisingly really good; mixability: OK; Price: Awesome)
Nitrotech Strawberry ( Taste: bad; mixability: bad; Price: way overpriced)
Precision Engineered (Taste: OK; mixability: OK; Price: good)
ON 100% whey (Taste: good; mixability: OK; Price: very good)

[latspread]

I would definately apply for this, but I remember the first time that I used x-factor... the minor acne that I previously had on my face had become so inflamed, that I looked like one of those "horror story's" in a proactiv commercial. :/ Maybe I will give it another try when I get a bit older, to the point where I don't have to naturally worry about much acne at all.

[Giggety Giggety]

I'd love to give X-Factor a full go but I would just like to know when you want the logs up and going.

Training Experience: 2.5 years serious

I began lifting at a body weight of 123lbs, extremely malnourished and underweight. I read up on proper nutrition and training and have been at it ever since!

I have been extremely anxious to try X-Factor for quite some time now, but have been too scared to give up my Fish Oil and similar EFA's. I am hoping that in running a log for MN on X-Factor with my usual dose of EFA's I can make some pretty substantial gains without sacrificing them.

Before & After Pictures, body weight, girth measurements and the like updated frequently. I would also provide a detailed daily summary of my workouts, as well as any additional things I notice (good, bad or otherwise)

YEAAAH BUDDY!

I can post before/after pic's along w/ before and after measurents if necessary.

performing sets like bench rest t-bar row rest back to bench to keep blood flow in my joints so i was lifting good weight but not too too heavy and my joints and knees do not ache at all ne more nor does my rotator cuff hurt

Training Schedule/Protocol: for the past yr and a half i was perfroming a 3 on 1 off 1 on 1 off 2 on 1 off 9 day cycle
Day 1: chest n back (short rest time 60-90 secs to slightly higher volume to maximize hypertrophy
2: legs (same protocol)
3: Shoulders n arms (same protocol)

5: Chest and back (longer rest times less volume max weights to maximize strength)
6: OFF
7: Shoulders and arms (same protocol as day 5)
8: legs (same)
9: OFF

my gains have slowed so i have changed my routine since the summer to a very different style to shock my body since i do not have a spot but to also prevent injury on bench i have moved to smith machine i feel it is a change but also works better for my chest development. I feel changing up a routine is a good way to shock the body and has proven is the past been a great way to boost size and strength.

Reason we should select you: I am currently cutting but want to keep as much size if not at all possible to gain some during my cut which the aminos would help me to do. I am very dedicated I never miss a meal or day at the gym. I have a great attitude i lift like an animal even on little sleep i dont use ne excuses on things to motivate me more. I have always wanted to keep a log and was going to before I saw this post so I think it would be a great time to start. I am on the computer every day so i can update the log everyday, and I have access to a digital camera to take good b4 and after pics. I also know my body and am consistant so I can tell if the products worked for me.
