[QUOTE=thackes1;1391654003]Alright that is cool, and I'd love to see the citations supporting that theory, but compared to a number of other ergogens, which have mounds of empirical evidence behind them, ArA is obviously something that has yet to be validated by study. If you're someone that likes to use innovative but unconfirmed science to inform your personal dietary and supplementation practices, then ArA is right for you. If you're someone that likes to having more confidence in what you're putting in your body and where you're investing your limited resources, then ArA is likely not right for you.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the sage advice, brofessor.

[QUOTE=Noughtilus;1391674083]Anybody tried powdered Arachidonic Acid? It costs much less than the capsule version.[/QUOTE]
It costs less up front, but all powdered ARASYN ArA is 10% potency instead of 40% like the oil… so you need 4x as much, maker it actually more expensive per mg of ArA.

can you take ARA with a preworkout snack consisting of protein and carbs? i usually eat this 30-60 minutes prior to my workout and then start consuming a carb and protein drink 10 minutes prior to my workout and throughout it. when is it recommended that i take ARA? i was thinking an 1-1.5 hours pre workout so that im fasted before my snack or right at the start of my workout. thanks

No you want to take it on an empty stomach for best results, dosed 30-45 minutes pre workout.

[QUOTE=Mikey Palmice;1334789651]Believe me, I'm happy to actually be able to provide some info to somebody. I'm usually the one asking the questions. One thing I do know, is that over the last 5 years anytime that I achieved any personal best it was always during an XFA cycle. And it never fails that I'll get at least one, wow you look bigger than usual remarks from somebody.[/QUOTE]
I got one of these and it's only day 4 lol

That's great to hear, and a true testimonial to how quickly X-Factor kicks in for many users!
As a BBer, theres nothing better than receiving those remarks. I remember my first X-Factor cycle, nearly a decade ago, when I finally started getting those kind of comments.

Hey guys,
I've been on a new X-factor cycle for a week but I'm not sure about my dosing.
I take it as recommended only on workout days, 6 pills PWO (with GMS and LCLT), BUT I only lift 3 days a week and I see the recommendation for at least 4...
Should I bump it to 8 pills PWO? Or should I also take it before my Boxing/Kickboxing sessions twice a week... they are fairly intense with some shoulder, legs, and abs work (push ups sometimes), though apart from the leg work it's more cardio and muscle endurance than muscle building....
Thanks!

Take 6 pre workout and pre boxing/kickboxing workouts. You'll see terrific benefits with 6 caps taken 5 days a week.

Will do!
Thank you for the quick reply!

I've held off on taking my ArA while I'm on a prescription NSAID for my hip bursitis.
There's also some upper hamstring tearing, I believe, on the same leg as a result of altered running mechanics from the bursitis.
My query on the science of this: I'm hopefully going to be off the NSAID in 2 weeks. At that point, I'd like to be sprinting/lifting at full tilt. Will the ArA hamper the healing process of any lingering hamstring microtears?

While inflammation is part of the healing process, and many X-Factor users have mentioned quicker recovery on everything from injuries to the muscle to external cuts and scrapes, I do not like recommending this for somebody just getting off of a serious injury.
I would allow yourself a little time back in the gym, ease into your recovery and then add back in the X-Factor. It should not slow your healing process, but it can make delayed onset muscle soreness much more painful. More pain is not what you will want when you just got back to the gym from a torn leg muscle.

Its been a while since I've run XF, but I have my girl using it to gain and her improvement on her presses and squats are very noticeable. I posted some of my increases in previous pages while on XF and not going to write up her exact stats, but wanted to throw in more positive results from XF. Shes a figure competitor and is debating going physique so the XF is great for the extra muscle growth if she ups her class.

I have finished my first bootle XFA, taking 6 caps Pre-workout and felt good workout pumps so far.
Just started my second bottle and kicked in Glycergrow2 & LCTL and I'm wondering if you can give me any nutrition suggestion.
I'm currently just taking carbs post workout as I'm going for vacation in 3 weeks.
As I was having more all over day pumps during the first 2 weeks I am wondering what I can modify to get best result of XFA.

Just bought some X-Factor
Wish me luck brosefs

I only used the OG without the F95 and it made me really hungry so I don't know if the strength was just from eating more or it was actually from the supplement's help but I remember it was a popular stack.
