EFFECTS
DOMS is down a little bit today. I am expecting it to ramp up tomorrow, which it often does. On a sidenote, I saw my mom today (dropping off oats) and she remarked about how I look really good. She said that I looked bigger and she could see a difference since the last time she saw me. I love you X-Factor!

EFFECTS
My DOMS from Monday has kicked in as expected. It was hard to walk to class today my legs were so sore. As far a s today's workout, I didn't feel 100%. I did add weight on every exercise though, so I can't really complain.

DIET
Again I woke up early to get in an extra meal. I am upping my PWO shake to 60g whey. About 15 minutes later I eat 1.5 cups of oats with 45g whey added in along with my PWO supplements.

TRAINING
CHEST: DB Press (70s * 15) +5 lbs
SHOULDERS: BB Military Press (120 * 15) +5 lbs
TRICEPS: Skullcrushers (85 * 15) +5 lbs
BACK WIDTH: Wide Pulldowns (180 * 15) +10 lbs

EFFECTS
DOMS in my triceps is insane today. They are so tight and sensitive that it's freaky. Also, my abs are very tight from an ab workout I did a few days ago. The DOMS seems to increase from workout to workout.

Frank_the_tank · 02-10-2006, 12:45 AM

I need X factor!! Nice log. From what I've been reading X Factor seems to be an amazing supplement.

EFFECTS
Great workout today. Strength was back up where I wanted it to be. I changed up bicep exercises because my wrist was really bothering me. I will stick to all DB bicep exercises from now on.

DIET
Nothing new to report here. Diet has stayed consistent both in meal times and the calories/macronutrients consumed. I may up the calories a little bit to really pack on as much as possible.

TRAINING
BICEPS: DB Preacher Curls (30s * 16)
FOREARMS: BTB Forearm Curls (65 * 50)
CALVES: Standing Raises (320 * 25)
HAMS: SLDL (245 * 15) +10 lbs
QUADS: Hack Squats (360 * 10) +20 lbs! and (320 * 21) +25 lbs and 1 rep !!!!

Grimmer · 02-11-2006, 12:10 PM

NextTA, did you notice a change when you upped your protein intake? I know you said your increased intake of fats was proving a success in the gym. I currently take in ~300g protein (1.5g/lbm) and had been considering an increase for some time now, I'd be interested in hearing your results.
Hows the bf% looking? any change?
My X-Factor is on the way, I expect it next week. Thanks for keeping such a tight log with no-bull info for us :nosthumbs

nextteenamateur · 02-11-2006, 01:40 PM

I have noticed a slight change since upping the protein, but the main change has been from the fats. I could be wrong, but it's what I believe. The bodyfat has decreased ever so slightly. I have been eating so much that I am constantly full, so it's hard to tell 100% what the change is. I am much more vascular in the gym though, so that is telling me something. Good luck on your run - you'll love it!

EFFECTS
Very, very sore biceps today. Unlike anything I've ever felt before. They feel fried, plain and simple. The legs aren't very sore, but they usually don't get sore until two days after a workout. We'll see tomorrow.

Today I was sore as hell. My legs are tight and the muscles cramp up when I flex them. Luckily, I was participating in a Dept. of Defense study today where I got paid handsomely to play computer games for five hours.

Integra21 · 02-13-2006, 02:54 AM

good log - keep it up. im also considering taking x factor. im also 19, weigh about 178 now myself and 7-8% bf.

how about some pics now that your seeing gains in weight and strength?

nextteenamateur · 02-13-2006, 03:22 AM

I'll try and get some up in the next few days. Thanks for the input.

Integra21 · 02-13-2006, 03:24 AM

are you only taking two servings (2 pills) per day?

isn't it suggested that if you weight 200lbs or more you take 4 pills. and less than 200lbs take 3 pills per day?

brickt. · 02-13-2006, 11:15 AM

Hey NTA,

I dig your logs, sucker, nice documentation.

Would it be possible for you to list the full content (cals/macros) of a days diet? Thanks.

Good Luck, Keep it up.

nextteenamateur · 02-13-2006, 01:14 PM

Integra, I take 2 caps twice daily, so that's 4 total.

Brickt, I'll see what I can do today. I'll try and record everything.

EFFECTS
Still very sore, especially the hamstrings. They hurt me today on my deadlifts. Nothing new to report, which I rather like.On deads I decided to go for a 405, and just barely missed lockout. I was disappointed, but I wasn't feeling well today so I didn't expect to have a great workout.

DIET
Brickt wanted to see a sample diet, so I'll post what I have eaten so far and what I am going to eat fot the rest of the day. It is NOT divided by meal.

7 whole eggs
7 slices of bacon
48 oz. milk (half skim/half whole)
1 banana
1.5 cups granola cereal
2 cups cheerios
(3)1.5 cups of whey/oats (45g whey in the oats)
5 hamburger patties
turkey sandwich (whole wheat bread, 2 slices of swiss cheese, 10-12 slices of turkey)
40g whey with whole milk before bed

TRAINING
CHEST: Incl. DB Press (65s * 16) +5 lbs easy
SHOULDERS: Hammer Strength Shoulder Press (160 * 15) +10 lbs, but very tough
TRICEPS: Pushdowns (170 * 16) +5 lbs
BACK WIDTH: BTN pulldowns (170 * 20)
BACK THICKNESS: Deadlifts (attempted 405, came close to lockout, then 365*1 and 315*2 cooldowns)

brickt. · 02-13-2006, 09:50 PM

Thanks, sucker, I appreciate it.

I'm keen to try X-F out in the next month or two. If I were to go ahead, my added fats would be from whole eggs, beef, fatty cottage cheese and coconut oil.

nextteenamateur · 02-13-2006, 11:07 PM

That looks good. If you have any questions I would suggest PMing Aeternitatis. He is the man to look for concerning X-Factor.

EFFECTS
Again, nothing new to report. The soreness is there and it is INTENSE! I have come to love it while at the same time hating every minute of it. I know it means the X-Factor is working, so I am happy. Diet was spot on today and was almost exactly like the one I posted yesterday. Only difference was that I didn't eat the cereal.

EFFECTS
Usual DOMS, as expected. I had a really good workout today. Everything went smoothly and the leg press was feeling better than usual (it has been giving me problems recently). I ttok it pretty light on the leg press and just pumped out smooth, nonstop reps. All in all, a good day.

DIET
Diet has been spot-on the last few days. I have been nailing all my numbers, and I am very pleased with it. For example, by noon today I had already hit 160g protein. I am still at 400g daily.

TRAINING
BICEPS: Seated Curls (40s * 15)
