Molecular Nutrition X-Factor @ 1250mg/day (40 days) FINAL REVIEW by Redvision

redvision · 05-13-2006, 07:45 PM

My 40-day cycle of X-Factor is now over. I had great times using it @ 1250mg/day, with barely any sides, except sweating.

During those 40 days, my caloric intake remained constant around 5000-5200 cals/day with at least 400g of protein and 1.5 gallon of water.

I mostly did all my cycle with a 4-day split training routine in the 10-12 rep range and my main focus was adding some quality mass, which was a success

I'll let the review speak by itself:

Bodyweight:
Starting weight: 226 pounds
dropped fat down 2lbs
Ending weight: 232 lbs

GAINED 8LBM TOTAL

Mirror:
I look fuller overall, especially in my legs, and also more vascular!!

Mesurements (day 1 VS day 40):

Arms: 16.75 - 17 1/8 (+3/8")

Chest: 48 - 48.5 (+.5")
Waist: 35.5 - 35 (-.5)
Neck: 17 - 17.25 (+.25)
Thigh: 27 - 27.75 (+.75)

Calf: 17.5 - 18 (+.5)!!!!!!

Detailed final review, in chronogical order:
Increased appetite at day 2 (!!!)
Noticeable lethargy at day 4
Began to feel warmer and sweat more at day 6
occasional numbness in my arms since day 6
Increased pumps at the end of week 1
Fuller look at day 7
Leaner in my mid-section since day 10
A bit of back acne since day 14 (oily skin)
First DOMs at day 16 (triceps & biceps)
DOMs became worst since day 19
Noticeable strenght increase since day 21
Constant sweating since day 22 (a nightmare at the gym...)
Increased vascularity around day 25
First headache at day 26 (only when my water intake was too low)
Worst DOMs since day 33

No sleep issue at all and barely any back acne!

I'll try to post final pictures tomorrow!!!

Thx again MN and the board rep for that awesome cycle!

Has anyone else tried 1250mg/day?

**Trick D** · 05-13-2006, 11:15 PM

That is insane... I am very impressed... Great job redvision and Molecular!

**Trick D** · 05-13-2006, 11:15 PM

Any strength gains that you can note on here?

Sure! I didn't bother with numbers since I was lifting in 10-12, sometimes 15 rep range, but there you go:

(day1 vs. day40)

Incline db press: 90's x 10 - 103's x 11
Incline bb press: 225 x 11 - 240 x 10
Incline db curls: 47.5's x 11 - 60's x 9
Squats (ATG): 275 x 12 - 305 x 12

Maybe those are worth posting, but my main goal was definitely adding good quality mass.

thx for the kind words,

Redvision

Thats interesting. If you find a log from someone less than 200lbs that did 1250 mg/day let me know. Your gains were amazing. Especially considering the time frame. You put 1/2 an inch on your calves in a little more than a month. These are gains that some people will experience in a year!

NoNameNecessary · 05-22-2006, 08:42 PM

Awesome gains. Great work redvision and MN!

Quick question: What did your daily diet look like?

**Trick D** · 05-22-2006, 09:01 PM

That is killer man. I am still shocked at these results. Excellent gains in such a short time. That is great, definitely increasing your incline db curls from 47.5to 60! That is crazy man.

Have the gains stuck bro?
