Product X - Icex999/Sheesh

[Icex999]

Finally, the time has come for yet another Product X log! But this one is super special because it's written by me.

The Product: Product X

Ok, so you all want to hear about it. Look, we are not perfectionists, but I won't release a product until it is done. I think you will be happy with the results and the ratio of ingredients. This product is not a prohormone and can be used safely by anyone over 18 and women looking to put on size and lose fat. At least we have something to look forward to past the prohormone ban.

The Test Subject
Background: Lifting on an off for 4 years, seriously for the past 2 (although the last one hasn't been as serious as I'd like it to be due to a chronic bursitis in both of my shoulders). Currently cutting.
Diet: Targeted Ketogenic Diet (carbs pre and post workout). Carbs kept under 10 grams/day on non-weight training days. Calories around 1800 daily.
Training: Low-Intensity Cardio - 45 Minutes - M/W/F
High-Intensity Cardio - 12 minutes - T/Th.
Weights: Monday and Friday
[routine designed by IronAddict. due to my confidentiality agreement with him, I am unable to post it. it is a VERY low volume routine however. I do 1 working set (plus 2 warm-up sets) of 4 different exercises on each day. it may seem like a little, but trust me, it's gone a long way in terms of actually INCREASING strength and muscle during this current cutting cycle]
Weight:178 pounds
Other: Measurements and Body-Fat % to come tomorrow or Friday, as I await my calipers to arrive.

Day One

Initial Reactions:Today was an off day in terms of weights, but I decided I should start getting this stuff into my bloodstream, so it can start to accumulate wherever it does it's magic. I applied 2 squirts to each forearm after both my morning and my evening shower. No burning, the stuff dried quickly, and of the other 2 transdermals I've done (Prevent Prototype 2 and Avant Ab-Solved), its' smell is by far the faintest once applied. The only way you can smell this stuff after its on is if you literally put your nose right up to the site of application and take a big whiff.


I will keep you all posted as the cycle continues.

Day 2:: Nothing to report yet. I'm still overwhelmed by the lack of scent on this stuff 20 minutes after application. GREAT feature!

Last minute trip planned to Rhode Island for tomorrow. I will train before I head out, and take the X with me. Next update will be
Monday.

[Ginobili]

Good luck bro...I'll be following your log and results.

[Icex999]

Day 6 : Trip to Rhode Island went well. I did end up squeezing in a work-out before I left on Friday, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of pumps or anything like that. I was pretty sore on Saturday and Sunday, but most of that had subsided today. That two day post-workout soreness is exactly what I'm used to in terms of prior experiences, so I can't say that the Product X is affecting any noticable parameters yet. As promised, I have my body-fat % measurements, as well as body-part measurements.


Body-Fat % [Taken via 3-point measurements with FatTrack II]: 8.4%.

All Measurements in Inches:

Arms(flexed): 15.75"
Chest:40.25"
Waist:33"
Quads: 38"
Calf: 16"
Wrist: 10"


To be quite honest, I'm disappointed in these numbers. Before my shoulder injury, my arms were well over 16" and the rest of these measurements were all higher (waist was 32 though, so lower). My lifts are all down too, but I'm not going to bitch about it any more. I made the decision to play football, so getting injured whilst playing football is my fault.


Max Lifts:
I haven't tested my one-rep maxes in a while, so these have been calculated using this calculator:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/1rm.htm

.

Squat: 225 x 7 = 270 pounds
Deadlift: 245 x 8 = 285 pounds
Military Press: 70 x 10 = 93 pounds
Barbell Curls: 65 x 9 = 84 pounds
Bench Press: Unknown [the locked plane of motion involved in the bench press kills my shoulders, so I can't do barbell bench presses any more. instead, I do dumbell bench presses with 65 lb. dumbells].


I have another work-out tonight. I will update you all tomorrow on how that goes.

[Icex999]

Day 8: My work-out Monday went well, nothing out of the ordinary. I did notice an unusually low level of soreness yesterday, and today I'm nearly totally recovered. My recovery is almost never this fast, so maybe the Product X is finally showing some sort of positive effect.

[PROVERBS]

good description, that's exactly what I'm noticing also

[Icex999]

Day 12: Great workout on Friday night, but once again nothing out of the usual in terms of strength or pumps. I did however noticed that decreased soreness again on Saturday, and today I'm totally recovered which I wouldn't have been under normal circumstances.

[Icex999]

Day 14: Last night's workout went pretty damn well. The squats were feeling pretty light, so I threw on another 20 pounds to the bar and did a set of 8 reps w/ 245. Product X may have had something to do with this increased strength.

What I did really notice though, which I can safely attribute to Product X is an even faster recovery (or at least decreased soreness) than I've been noticing since I started with the stuff. Today my soreness around my body is minimal, with my back feeling just a smidgeon fatigued. I'd buy this stuff just for this positive effect.

But that's not all, my weight is up 2 pounds, but my body fat has dropped another .5%.

Hmmmm....Product X seems to be faring pretty damn well with me thus far.

interesting

[Icex999]

Day 20: Sorry for not updating you guys in a while but things have been a little hectic. Nothing I can't handle though. Friday's workout went well, my deadlift weight is up 15 pounds since the start of Product X. The increased recovery was once again noticed, so I've decided that it isn't placebo and that its definitely the Product X that is increasing my recovery.

I took measurements today, and everything is up roughly a 1/4", except for legs which are closer to 3/8" larger. I will post final measurements once this bottle is finished.

[Icex999]

Day 22: The increased strength from last week was no fluke, I am still able to lift the increased weights on nearly all exercises. Muscles are looking alot fuller.

I will be heading out to Vegas on Saturday. I will post one more entry to this log on Friday, and will update you guys once I get back. The hotel has a gym, so I will take the Product X with me and make do with whatever equipment the gym has.

[Icex999]

Day 33: Damn, I've been really terrible about updating this thing since I got back from vacation, now haven't I? Let's see how things have shaped since I left off...

I've only been using 8 squirts per day of the X, so it seems as if my first bottle lasted a little bit longer than everybody else's thanks to that. I didn't have to start my second bottle until 4 days ago (Day 29). As for differences between the first bottle and the second bottle, the only difference I've noticed so far is the scent which is definitely less "citrusy" (which I've seen in other people's threads is due to less limone in the formula).

Now what you people really care about. RESULTS....I love this ****. My body-fat has hit 7%, which means my cutting cycle is complete. That's a 1.4% drop since when I started X. But, my weight on the scale is still going up! My weight is actually up 5 pounds since the start of the Product X (183), yet I've actually been dropping body-fat too. Damn, I feel as if I am writing a Muscle Tech Ad making claims like that, but unlike Muscle-Tech ads what I speak here is the truth.

The vascularity in my arms/forearms and legs has gotten ridiculous. My best-friend's girl actually brought the increased arm vascularity to my attention at a party 3 days ago. It's great to know people (especially hot people, this girl is smoking) are noticing the changes in my physique.

In terms of the gym, I haven't been to the weight room this past week, because with transition back into school life **** is very hectic. I will definitely be going tomorrow though, so I will let you guys know how my strength has progressed.

I am going to make an effort to start being more active with this log until this second bottle runs out as well. My results have been so great with this stuff that I really think I owe it to Legal Gear (as well as you guys) to update it more often.

do you read the thread at all? <b>NONE</b> of us know what's inside, that's the whole point of the testing. it takes away the placebo effect. but people like you still insist on posting in the thread, asking what's in it when the LG crew hasn't told anyone! READ!!!

Day 42: Weight up another pound since I last checked in with you guys. My muscles are still looking alot fuller and more defined than before. The 2-3 days of DOMS that I had grown accustomed to is now a thing of the past; since about week 2 of Product X, the amount of DOMS has continued to decrease. Now its at the point where when I wake up the day after each workout, soreness is extremely minimal, and this minimal soreness subsides after a few waking hours.

[Icex999]

On a side note, I don't think I'm going to do any more Product Review logs any time soon. I've been horrible, and I've continued to be horrible at keeping this one updated. I really would stop by more often to report progress, but I'm just way too damn busy these days. Sorry guys, you deserve better.

[Icex999]

Looks as if my second bottle has about enough Product X left for another week or so of testing. Weight is at 186 and I'm looking very full and defined in the mirror. All lifts are definitely up. DOMS is essentially non-existent. That's all the time I have for now, once the bottle is done I will set aside some solid time to post a fully detailed exit piece.


Yours,

Why are you cutting up when you have 15" arms?

[LAWofNJ]

do you have any before after pics? that would be helpful

[Icex999]

Why are you cutting up when you have 15" arms?

Frankly, I have no desire to get much bigger than that. I'm not into fitness for raw size or strength, I'd much rather stay lean year-round with more of that model-type look. I got involved in fitness a few years ago because I had gotten fat and out-of-shape and I hated it with a passion; my goal then was to have a physique similar to that of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Now I'd rather be a little bigger than him in that movie, but with the same leanness and thin frame; right now I'm pretty close to exactly where I want to be.

Nope, sorry man.
