Yea I'm not going to have time to take 4 throughout the day on days I have class.

Should be fine. If you could take 3 doses that would be better than 2.

Sounds good, I'll likely be able to hit 1-1-2 or 2-1-1 dosing most days and get 1-1-1-1 on weekends. I wasn't sure if spreading out the dosing would make much of a difference, but it sounds as if that is the best way (I'm guessing because of the Divanil, I remember Activate was 1-1-1-1 recommended dosing)

I dont think it will make much of an overall difference.

2-1-1 or 1-1-2 or 1-2-1.... all good!

Notes
-Crazy Pumps, I've always gotten better pumps from Divanil (nettle root) than with argenine based NO2 supps
-Was REALLY hungry and sleepy all afternoon and night yesterday, I'm guessing its due to just getting over a cold, and regaining my appetite, but I'll note if that keeps up throughout the log, I doubt it will though.
-Official start weight is only 193, being sick took more out of me than I thought
-"Before" pics will be up mid afternoon-early tonight

[Mister_A]

Sounds good already.

[SwolenONE]

I was a bit disappointed by these pics as I lost a fair amount of size being sick, but o well, I hope to put on roughly 10 pounds of mass (not all lean) during my month on Mass FX.

[Mister_A]

Nice massfx pic... haha

[SwolenONE]

35 minutes low intensity on the treadmill

My only note for today is that the increase in hunger was apparently just me getting my appetite back from being sick.

[leonidas300]

Looking forward to this. I love the original Mass FX so I am curious about this product.

[fitnfirm]

Lets hope you get some of the weight back on from being sick ! Nice to see you are feeling the product........... please dont hurt anyone

[Mister_A]

So far so good!

[Biceps]

Awesome log so far and I'm glad to see you're feeling the new MassFX kick in!! Pumps on this stuff are crazy!! Looking forward to the following weeks

[SwolenONE]

Good to have you all along, hopefully during this log I'll add to those under armpit stretch marks seen in the last of my "before" pictures (as ****ty as my lat spread looks at least it shows my hard earned stretch marks ).

Those aren't too bad. I have ones across my bicep where it literally looks like my skin ripped apart, lol

[dark_man812]

Late, but in on this! Nice numbers man.

[SwolenONE]

Late, but in on this! Nice numbers man.

thx, the smith #s arent accurate though, I just add up the weight as if the bar were 45lbs, I dunno how much the bar weighs though, certainly not 45 if I had to guess though. Regardless, today was the most Ive done on the smith Dorian rows.

EDIT: I checked today and the bar is 18lbs, so subtract 25 from my Dorian Rows and thats accurate, I'm still pretty happy with that # though!
